Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 5: Entering the cold palace, blue opportunity

As Emperor Yong'an announced the imperial edict, it became a fact that the golden words came out of his mouth.

The case of the enchantress from the Demon Country is officially over.

But Lu Mingyuan knew that the curtain had not ended yet, and he was just the one who took the blame, but being able to save his life was already the biggest gain.

It was unclear who the murderer was for a while. What was certain was that the so-called "seizing the legitimate son" no longer had anything to do with him.

But you can't take it lightly. Who knows if someone will target you behind your back?
  In a short period of time, it should be fine.

"Then I won't bother Your Majesty. I'll take my leave first."

Although Wang Zhaoyan felt helpless, the deal was already done and there was no way to make amends, so she had to say goodbye and then took Lu Mingyuan away from the Qianyuan Hall.

Lu Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He supported his mother and said goodbye obediently: "My son, please leave first. Father must not be too tired to deal with government affairs."

As the two of them left, they walked away.

Emperor Yong'an's eyes suddenly calmed down and he pondered for a moment.

"Someone is coming."

"Let Fan Jie go to Jian Taisi with my instructions tomorrow. Some of the voices in the capital are too dirty. I don't want to hear similar gossip again."

"It's time for the leaders of the Qilin Guard to change their posts. It's really not good to always have the same few people."

His two simple sentences contain extraordinary energy and intriguing meaning.

The eunuch who obeyed the order buried his head deeply and trembled slightly.

If His Majesty gives this order, I don’t know how many lives will be lost.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Mingyuan also followed his mother to the clan mansion.

This is the place to record the concubines, names, titles, and other matters of the clan's children. It can also record the clan's crimes and faults.

After he registers here, he will be assigned to a palace, which is where he must stay for the next thirty years.

Wang Zhaoyan watched helplessly as the officials of the Zongren Mansion recorded Lu Mingyuan's crimes in the book. In an instant, she hugged Lu Mingyuan with tears in her eyes.

"Yuan'er, my mother is sorry for you."

"Mom, it's okay."

Lu Mingyuan could only comfort him in a low voice.

As soon as the two people went out, they encountered a noble sedan with nine phoenix patterns.

In the car window was an old woman with a kind face, holding a scripture in her hand and looking at it with squinted eyes.

The old woman is dressed in a green phoenix robe, a green jade shawl on her shoulders, nine jade hairpins in her hair, and jade belt beads. She looks extremely luxurious.

Lu Mingyuan immediately recognized that this was the Empress Dowager of the Great Yan Dynasty, Empress Dowager Liu. When Emperor Yong'an was still young, she had been in charge of the government for seven years. She was the first Queen Mother in the Great Yan Dynasty who had been in charge of the government for such a long time. She was no ordinary person.

Moreover, the current Emperor Yong'an has always been known as a filial son and has a very good relationship with the Queen Mother. When he was young, he would occasionally discuss important matters with her.

However, as Empress Dowager Liu grew older and Emperor Yong'an gained more power and made outstanding achievements, the number of such incidents became less and less.

If his calculations were correct, the Empress Dowager Liu was close to a hundred years old. She looked very old, but she was very energetic and had rosy cheeks. She must have been a practitioner, otherwise her lifespan would not have been so long.

It's just that the realm is not very high, and it only plays a role in strengthening the body, far less than that of his father.

As far as he knew, the longevity of martial arts cultivators in this world was not as high as that of Taoist cultivators, but they could still destroy cities, cut rivers, and move mountains and reclaim seas.

"Ming Yuan pays homage to Grandma Huang."

"Oh, it's Yuan'er."

Queen Mother Liu, who was reading a book carefully, suddenly heard Lu Mingyuan's voice and couldn't help but look over.

After seeing it was Lu Mingyuan, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's been a long time since I saw Grandma Huang. I wish Grandma Huang a blessing as good as the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains."

Lu Mingyuan felt reassured when he saw the smile on Queen Mother Liu's face.

Sure enough, it was just as he thought. In his memory, the eldest prince, second prince and other older brothers rarely came to the harem to offer greetings and company.

Therefore, Queen Mother Liu was not very close to them.

Only the Sixth Prince often came to the harem to borrow money, and would meet the Queen Mother and accompany her to say a few words.

In my memory, this old man who is about to reach the end of his years always feels lonely and lonely.

Perhaps because of the separation of generations, Empress Dowager Liu has been more doting on the younger princes since she was a child.

Wang Zhaoyan on the side was a little surprised when she saw her son greeting her very quickly and saying all kinds of good things non-stop.

This was not the first time she saw Lu Mingyuan meeting his grandmother. Although Lu Mingyuan would also chat with his grandmother, it was the first time for him to be so proactive and enthusiastic.

But this was a good thing, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

It would obviously be much better if the Queen Mother was in the cold palace.

Obviously, Lu Mingyuan also thought so.

This is the Queen Mother of the Great Yan Dynasty, the emperor’s mother.

The highest-ranking person in the royal family.

I will spend half my life in the cold palace, and I am not allowed to have a good relationship with her!

If you don't please me, wouldn't you really be a fool?

"My concubine, Zhaoyan, pays her respects to the Queen Mother."

"Blessings are like the East Sea, and longevity is as long as the Southern Mountains."

Wang Zhaoyan also came up to greet Empress Dowager Liu.

"it is good."

However, Queen Mother Liu just nodded lightly, without even looking at her, and focused on Lu Mingyuan. "Yuan'er, why did you come out of the clan's mansion, but what happened?"

Lu Mingyuan was hesitant to tell Grandma Huang about the witchcraft disaster.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be a secret.

When he hesitated, Wang Zhaoyan spoke first and told the whole story of the witchcraft incident.

After Queen Mother Liu heard this, she held Lu Mingyuan's palm with her old hand and sighed softly:
  "Alas, I have also heard about this matter. This is clearly someone who framed Yuan'er. It's so simple, how could His Majesty not be able to figure it out?"

"My father must have had his own considerations. Grandma, I am lucky that my grandson can save his life."

"Grandma, you need to have a good rest. Your grandson is waiting to attend your 100th birthday, so don't worry about me."

Lu Mingyuan spoke out like this, but he actually cared about his grandmother.

First of all, he really didn't want to participate in the fight for the legitimate son in Kowloon, so it was good to enter the cold palace. Secondly, he didn't want the Queen Mother to intervene and go to his father to reverse the case and ruin this good situation.

However, Queen Mother Liu burst into tears when she heard what he said. She touched Lu Mingyuan's head, feeling very happy on her face and very moved in her heart.

"I, Yuan'er, am still a good boy. I know I feel sorry for my grandmother. As long as I am fine, it will be fine. So what if I am in the cold palace? I am waiting for any concubine in the harem who is not in the palace. They will stay there for twenty or thirty years."

Wang Zhaoyan nodded slightly: "Grandma is right, it's just a good time to clean up your dirty tricks and bad habits."

In the deep courtyard of the palace, even as the queen mother, she was extremely lonely. The same was true for most of the concubines in the harem. They had no other purpose except to be jealous.

"Women, you can sleep. It's okay to have more babies for grandma to hug, but don't hurt your body or disturb the foundation." Empress Dowager Liu explained seriously.

Lu Mingyuan coughed awkwardly, nodded and replied, "My grandson understands."

"The grandson will no longer bother grandma."

Lu Mingyuan bowed and bowed again, planning to say goodbye to the Queen Mother.

"If anyone bullies you in this cold palace, just tell grandma."

Finally, Queen Mother Liu did not forget to remind her on the sedan chair.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu Mingyuan's smile grew wider.

for the rest of the time.

Lu Mingyuan came to a remote palace called Qingzhu Palace.

It is the most remote and inconspicuous place among all the palaces, and the decoration is extremely simple.

Apart from mahogany tables and chairs, gold couches, purple sand teapots, and white bead curtains, there are almost no other furnishings in the palace, which is clean and tidy.

"What did the clan think of arranging such a place?"

Wang Zhaoyan glanced around and felt that this place was too shabby and the space was not big. It was definitely a shabby room among shabby houses.

But Lu Mingyuan was very content.

In my previous life, in a big city, I lived in a small room of 20 square meters with high rent, but I still managed to get through it in a down-to-earth manner.

The conditions here are not bad, but compared with the original conditions, and compared with other princes and concubines, they are indeed much worse.

"Mom, go call someone and ask for some screens, gauze tents, quilts, and a change of clothes for you."

Wang Zhaoyan muttered out of the door, and suddenly disappeared.

However, Lu Mingyuan relaxed and lay directly on the mat, leaning his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling and thinking about future plans.

To survive in this world, relying on brains is not enough, you must also have the blessing of strength.

If you want to become stronger, you can only practice martial arts.

The original person was pampered since childhood and could not bear any hardship. He believed that practicing martial arts was a vulgar person, so he has always been a mortal without any cultivation.

"Martial arts in this world are respected, with the body as the outer body, inner cultivation of vitality, and the ability to cross the dragon gate. Even worse, one can cross the void, crack city walls with fists, split rivers with palms, be immune to all evils, and overcome disasters with thousands of armies."

In Lu Mingyuan's impression, those who can cross the void must reach the middle fifth level.

But now I haven't even entered the lower seven realms, which is really distressing.

At this time, the clouds were thin and the moon was full, and a strong wind blew through the treetops.

Lu Mingyuan was still lying on the bed, and the palace lights in the palace were slightly yellow.

A blood-red monster with a goat body and a human face appeared on the roof beam carved by a dragon, which startled him.

The blood-red monster's body resembles a unicorn, but it has two long horns on its head, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, and it has a rather strange human face on its abdomen.

After staring for a while, I realized that the blood-red monster would not move, it was just a projection.

Wait, where did the projection come from?
  Lu Mingyuan immediately stood upright. After sitting up, he followed the position of the blood-red monster's projection and found that it was actually the mat behind him.

He immediately opened the golden mat and discovered the true face of the bed.

The wooden board in front of you is filled with densely packed blood-colored words, forming a picture!
  Those words seemed to be alive, sticky and glowing. If it were not night, this weak light would not be visible.

Lu Mingyuan began to read the content of the words in blood. As he read, he found that these words were carved in his mind like a knife and an axe, and he could not forget them.

This is a practice.

Bloody Taotie Tianmeng.

This is the name of the practice.

Lu Mingyuan suddenly realized that this might be his blue opportunity.

After surviving the prison sentence, he was reminded that he would get an opportunity.

I just didn't expect it to be in this form.

After a short read, Lu Mingyuan discovered that the "Blood Gluttonous Sky Meteor Sutra" was actually an evil method of refining the body to strengthen the body. After practicing it, it can swallow other things and nourish itself like the ancient ferocious beast Taotie. It is divided into four parts. Food Chapter, Induction Chapter, Yuan Shen Chapter, and Divine Master Chapter.

The more you eat, the faster your cultivation will increase. Ten meals are worth one meal.

When you practice to the later stage, you can devour even life essence!
  It does not belong to any of the three religions, but rather resembles the method of witchcraft.
