Chapter 185 The Ladies of Youwei Palace

After threats and inducements, Princess Lingyin finally behaved herself.

She is just a little princess spoiled by her father, the king and her mother, and has never experienced the hardships of life.

Now she is far away from home, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and daring to do whatever she wants. In this deep palace, only death is waiting for her.

In some ways, Zheng Yi's threat saved her.

Otherwise, if you offend someone you shouldn’t offend in the future, you won’t even know how you died.

At that time, Zheng Yi was missing a cauldron that could provide him with fire-attribute spiritual roots.

For more than a month afterwards, in order to obtain enough fire-attribute spiritual roots from Princess Lingyin, he stayed in Lingyin Palace almost every day and worked on her.

After so much hard work, the originally spoiled and willful Princess Lingyin disappeared, and was replaced by the infatuated and attached Concubine Yin.

After all, as the saying goes, there is only one way to a woman's heart, and that is...

As for Xu Xuanwu, she had long forgotten him.

When Zheng Yi's fire-attributed spiritual root reached the middle grade and he could no longer absorb spiritual root attributes from Princess Lingyin, he immediately transferred a stream of innate pure yang energy into her body to help her become pregnant.

This is the end.

Zheng Yi already has nine sons.

Two are already born and seven are on the way.

Concubine Lan, Yuechan, Concubine Cui, Concubine Yu, Concubine Jie, Concubine Yu, and now Concubine Yin.

Just one more thing left to open the second three thousand worlds.

Do you want to just choose an ordinary concubine and give birth to a son?

Zheng Yi thought about it, then shook his head and refused.

He had a hunch that the next two thousand worlds would have a great influence on whether the boy born next would have spiritual roots.

For the next eight boys who have more spiritual roots, the spiritual energy of the second Three Thousand Worlds they activate will definitely be much higher.

On the contrary, if they were all ordinary children, then the second three thousand worlds would be very ordinary.

After thinking for a long time, he set his sights on the girls in Youwei Palace who were about to reach adulthood.

Over the past six months, after continuous practice, Yu Fei's success rate in testing talismans has greatly improved.

Now, more than fifty spirit-testing talismans have been drawn, which are enough to test these girls.

However, Zheng Yi did not intend to use the spirit-detecting talisman on them.

He prepared all the many spirit-testing talismans drawn by Jade Concubine to be used by the Shadow Guards, Palace Guards, or members of the Imperial Party who were loyal to him.

Once it is detected who has spiritual roots, they will be vigorously cultivated.

I plan to use the remaining spirit-testing talismans to test my five remaining daughters.

Zheng Yi's first five daughters were tested for spiritual roots, and only two of them were found to have spiritual roots.

They are Zheng Yuyao, Zheng Yuhuan, and five other daughters who have not been tested.

These daughters are almost five years old, and Zheng Yi plans to wait until the tenth princess Zheng Yuxiao is five years old before testing them together.

I don’t know who among the last five daughters will have spiritual roots?
The precious spirit-detecting talisman must not be wasted.

Now, Zheng Yuyao and Zheng Yuhuan have begun to learn the techniques of cultivation under the instruction of Concubine Cui.

Without the two daughters, there was less fun in the palace.

Fortunately, he still has eight daughters.

As for how to detect whether the fifty or so girls in Youwei Palace have spiritual roots, it is very simple.

They are asleep.

Of course, Zheng Yi was not the kind of heartless person who would pull out his dick, so he gave each girl three days of companionship.

Starting from the first girl, randomly select one.

Under his instruction, the Jingshifang brought up the identity tags of the fifty-eight girls in Youwei Palace.

He flipped it casually, and a girl named 'Zhang Yiting' was turned out.

That night, Zhang Yiting was washed and sent to Baiyujing.

Zhang Yiting is also very beautiful, with long black hair like a waterfall, and especially a pair of long legs that Zheng Yi can't let go of.

After showing up shyly, Zheng Yi only got a hint of "Lifespan +17".

He did not lose heart, and with some love and care, he hugged her and fell into a deep sleep.

Three days later, the second girl came, a girl named Liang Qiaoyun.

Lifespan increased by +18 again.

Next, one girl after another was sent to Baiyujing, and they were almost changed every three days. Few people could stay in Baiyujing for more than four or five days.

This practice also spread to the court.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Now that you have come out of seclusion, you should go to court to handle state affairs. Why do you visit new people every day?"

"Yes, the world is in chaos now. Although General Xu is suppressing it, the situation is still bad and cannot last long."

"Your Majesty! I want to give you some advice..."

For a time, memorials from many court officials, especially censors, floated to the cabinet like snowflakes, but unfortunately, none of them reached Zheng Yillong's case.

Today's Great Court
The three ministers were beaten bloody and lay prone in the hall with disordered breathing.

The entire hall was in silence, and no one dared to speak.

In front of the dragon throne, Liu Chengen said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty has worked hard and made great contributions. Now he is in meditation. I told you not to disturb Your Majesty, don't disturb Your Majesty, why don't you listen!"

"Not only did you come to the cabinet to meet with me, you also tried to break into the palace. What are you going to do? Rebellion!!!"

In the empty hall, only Liu Chengen's voice echoed.

The duck's voice sounds extremely shrill.

"Huh, huhu..."

Censor Han Yang struggled to get up and said, "Eunuch thieves! You are just slaves, how dare you stop us from seeing His Majesty? What is your intention?"

"If you dare, kill me in the court today, otherwise I will report you!"

“Your Majesty…!”

"Come out and take a look. The eunuch party is in power in the court now, framing loyal officials. Wake up!"

"Hmm?" In the hall, Liu Chengen frowned and said, "How dare you slander His Majesty? Do you really think I dare not beat you to death?"

"Someone is coming..."

"Eunuch Liu!"

Suddenly a voice sounded, interrupting him.

Liu Chengen's eyes twitched, full of fear.

Under the hall, Wang Anshi walked out slowly and said, "Lord Han is loyal to the people and to the court of Dayu. I hope you can show mercy and spare Lord Han this time."

Liu Chengen suddenly smiled and said, "Since it is Lord Wang who is pleading for Lord Han, then we will agree."

"However, Lord Wang, His Majesty does have important matters to attend to right now. I hope that the officials in the cabinet can properly manage the officials and not let them disturb His Majesty."

"Otherwise, if His Majesty blames me, I won't be able to plead for you ministers~"

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Eunuch Liu, I have something important to ask His Majesty. Can you notify him on my behalf?"

Liu Chengen said with a smile: "Lord Wang, please don't make things difficult for our family."

"Your Majesty is still in retreat in Baiyujing. All court affairs are handled by the cabinet and the Imperial Household Department. Have you forgotten His Majesty's decree, Lord Wang?"

"Since you all have nothing to do, please adjourn the court."

At the command, many eunuchs and palace maids retreated, and many officials also turned around and left helplessly.

"Alas, the court is closed again. What is your Majesty thinking about?"

"Your Majesty hasn't attended court for almost a year!"

"If this continues, the country will no longer exist..."

"Lord Han and his men are unlucky. They just advised His Majesty and wanted to enter Baiyujing to ask for an audience with His Majesty, but they were beaten into such a state by the eunuch party!"

"Ah...Help Master Han return home..."

"Lord Wang."

"Master Zheng."

"Lord Lu..."

At this time, several people stepped forward and saluted. It turned out that several senior officials from the cabinet came over.

The three people are Wang Anshi, Lu Xiangqing and Zheng Xuanyue.

The three of them nodded to their colleagues around them, while also discussing something in a low voice.

"What on earth is your majesty doing? You haven't attended court for almost a year."

"I heard from others that Your Majesty seems to be cultivating immortality?"

"Cultivating immortals? That's sheer nonsense! Where do immortals and gods come from? I don't talk about strange and supernatural things!"

"Alas... I heard that His Majesty got a cultivation method from the mausoleum of the Great Ancestor, and is now practicing with several concubines in Baiyujing!"

"Now the eunuch party is powerful and has made the court a mess. The army is fighting outside. What should we do..."

The three were worried, especially Wang Anshi and Lu Xiangqing.

Instead, Zheng Xuanyue persuaded them, "Don't worry, my two lords. Before His Majesty went into seclusion, he issued an imperial decree that we will discuss and decide on state affairs."

"For such a long time, the court has been operating normally, and all officials have performed their duties. There have been no accidents. Why do you two adults have to worry?"

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Master Zheng, this is wrong."

"Now that my army is fighting outside, we must stabilize the court to ensure smooth progress of the war on the front line."

"Now that General Xu has recovered Bingzhou, General Cui Xiawu has recovered Shuzhou, General Meng Guang has recovered most of Jingzhou, and General Guanshan has recovered Yunzhou and most of Yuezhou, we should send officials to manage them."

"These political affairs must be decided by His Majesty, but now His Majesty is not attending court, how should these officials be arranged?"

"Now, for so many official positions, I don't know how many people want to see Liu Chengen. The eunuch's door is about to be broken down!"

Zheng Xuanyue's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Lord Wang, we have the right to appoint officials. In my opinion, we need to work together to make the world peaceful!"

"Alas, it seems that this is the only way."

Wang Anshi suddenly asked, "Lord Lu, could you please ask for an audience with His Majesty through the Empress?"

After a few breaths of silence, Lu Xiangqing said, "Old man, let me give it a try."

"Thank you, Master Lu!"

In the palace.

Liu Chengen walked slowly, and a young eunuch came over quickly.

"Godfather, after today, many court officials have behaved much better. Hehehe, even those gentlemen inside..."

"What nonsense."

Liu Chengen frowned and said, "We are all working for His Majesty. If these ministers had done their work obediently, our family wouldn't have so many troubles!"

"Godfather is right. By the way, Godfather, several officials sent visiting cards today, saying that they wanted to see him for important matters, and they also sent a lot of gifts."

"Oh?"

Liu Chengen's eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile, "Who are they?"

"Have……"

"Godfather! Godfather~"

Suddenly, a young eunuch ran over and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is calling you over."

"Oh? His Majesty called us? Go over there quickly..."

Several people hurriedly trotted towards Baiyujing and soon arrived at Baiyujing.

"Your Majesty~"

When he trotted into the hall, he saw a girl in pink standing next to Zheng Yi. She was pretty and charming, with beautiful eyes, a young and beautiful girl.

Liu Chengen's mind turned and he quickly remembered.

This girl was none other than the beauty that was sent to Zheng Yillong’s bed by the Jingshifang last night. Her name seemed to be... Yang Liuqing?

Zheng Yi held Yang Liuqing's hand and said, "Liu Chengen, announce the decree."

Liu Chengen quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
