Chapter 21: Concubine Duan is pregnant (please collect and read)
The attacking assassin finally retreated.

Zheng Yi also met Zhao Suling, one of the only two jade tablet worshippers in the worship hall.

The head of Taiyi sect, and also a martial artist at the Grandmaster level.

Facing Old Man Xuanming, Zhao Suling defeated him with just one move and made him flee in panic.

Zhao Suling chased after him, but no one knew what happened afterwards.

At that time, he had already been escorted away by Wang Zhongyi who had hurried over.

Before leaving, Zheng Yi held Xu Qingluan's hand and said a lot of sweet words, which made Xu Qingluan very excited.

At the same time, Zheng Yi also discovered that Wang Zhongyi was also seriously injured.

There was blood at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were blurry, and even his steps seemed a little shaky.

After sending Zheng Yi back to the Jiaotai Palace villa, he left quickly and found Emperor Zhengyong.

"His Majesty……"

"Otomo, how is your injury?"

Emperor Zhengyong had already known that there was an assassin in the palace, so he never left the Jiaotai Hall.

Isn’t the purpose of shadows just for now?
After waiting for a long time for Wang Zhongyi to come back, he hurried to greet him.

"Your Majesty, my injury is not serious."

Wang Zhongyi said quickly: "The assassin who attacked is the famous Xuanming Elder in the martial arts world. These two are twins, with a telepathic connection. They practiced the Xuanming Poison Palm together. Even though they are only at the first level, if they join forces, they can fight against even a Grandmaster."

"These two were born in Wu State and have been wanted by Wu State for more than ten years. Even if they wanted to assassinate someone, they should have assassinated the emperor of Wu State. Why did they appear in my Dayu?"

Emperor Zhengyong said with a gloomy face: "Now that Wuguo's Black Mountain Pass has been captured, if it weren't for the Qingzhou civil unrest, Xu Mu's army would have already rushed into Wuguo's territory."

"If I were to be assassinated by the Wu country assassins at this moment, who do you think would benefit the most?"

"Wu State? And... Prime Minister Yang!"

Emperor Zhengyong let out a long sigh of relief: "This old fox finally couldn't help himself... My dear, has Xu Mujun replied yet?"

"Yes, I am back."

"how?"

General Xu said: "If there is an imperial decree, he will return to the imperial capital as quickly as possible. However..."

"But what?"

"But he said that there are also rebellions around Datong County. If he wants to go back to Beijing, he can only go back alone!"

"He's alone?" Emperor Zhengyong gritted his teeth and said, "What's the use of him alone?"

Wang Zhongyi said: "Your Majesty, Xu Mujun is a Xiantian realm warrior. One person is enough to fight against an entire army!"

"Hehehe...it's just a martial arts legend."

Emperor Zhengyong said coldly: "The army is besieging us, no matter how great your master is. Even if we can't kill you, we will be exhausted to death!"

Wang Zhongyi remained silent and did not dare to speak.

Besieged by a large army?

Warriors are not stones, how could they stay where they are and be surrounded and killed by you?

Besides, if the army leader is assassinated or the military casualties exceed 30%, the army will collapse.

Your Majesty, you still don't understand the importance of warriors.

"Where's the Shadow Guard?"

"I have secretly trained more than 30 young eunuchs, all of whom are at the level of third-grade masters. I also obtained the 'Starry Sky Trapping Formation' from Taiyi Dao, which is powerful enough to trap a master-level warrior!"

"Xu Mujun, Xu Mujun..."

Emperor Zhengyong gritted his teeth and said, "Go, bring Shadow here!"

"Yes... Your Majesty!"

Soon, Zheng Yi, who was about to take a rest with a confused look on his face, was brought to Emperor Zhengyong by Wang Zhongyi.

"I have met His Majesty."

"shadow……"

Emperor Zhengyong was about to say something when he was suddenly stunned.

Is the young man in front of me his shadow from the past?

He still remembered the reserved, nervous and timid boy when he first met Shadow more than half a year ago.

And when I saw his shadow recently, it was as if I saw myself ascending the throne three years ago!

Vigorous, confident and heroic!
For some reason, a hint of jealousy emerged in his heart.

After a few moments of silence, Emperor Zhengyong quickly reacted.

"Shadow, I have a task for you."

Zheng Yi's heart moved, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"Half a year... No, three months!" Emperor Zhengyong held up three fingers and said, "I'll give you three months to make Concubine Duan pregnant!" "This is my order, do you understand?"

Zheng Yi's heart tightened, and he said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go down."

"Yes."

On the way back, Zheng Yi recalled the scene of meeting Emperor Zhengyong just now.

"Killing intent?"

"Has Emperor Zhengyong finally lost control of his murderous intent?"

"So, I only have three months left?"

"In that case..."

In the darkness, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Zheng Yi's eyes.

Since you don't want me to live, then you shouldn't live either!
The 15th day of the 12th month of the 3rd year of the Zhengei era.

Emperor Zhengyong was assassinated again!
The assassin is a martial artist from the Wu State, the old man Xuanming.

Fortunately, Zhao Suling, the jade tablet worshiper of Dayu Worship Court, stepped in and repelled the assassin, otherwise Emperor Zhengyong would have been in danger.

Emperor Zhengyong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the palace, killing 351 eunuchs and 232 palace maids!

Kill the Imperial Guards...seventy-two of them!
There were countless people who were thrown into prisons in heaven and underground dungeons.

For a time, everyone in the court was in danger, and no one dared to even have private conversations.

Zheng Yi was too lazy to care about the affairs of the court. After receiving the order from Emperor Zhengyong, as soon as the dinner was over at 10 p.m., he was half-escorted by Wang Zhongyi to Xianfu Palace.

Work hard every day and party every night.

Emperor Zhengyong, on the other hand, hid deep in the Jiaotai Hall, constantly reviewing memorials, which was very tiring.

A month later, the entire palace regained its vitality.

Everyone looking towards Xianfu Palace had eyes filled with envy.

"Your Majesty is too fond of Concubine Duan. It's been more than half a month..."

"For more than a month, except for the few days when Concubine Duan had her period, His Majesty has been in Xianfu Palace almost every day."

"Hmph! So what if His Majesty is here every day? My stomach is not cooperating and I can't give birth to a child even if I want to!"

"How many months will Concubine Shu and Concubine Bi have?"

"About five months, almost..."

"And the Empress, Consort De and the others..."

"I don't know which lady can give birth to a dragon son?"

"That must be Consort Shu, she is the most favored..."

Late at night, Xianfu Palace.

Qingluan lay on Zheng Yi and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am incompetent and cannot give birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty?"

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "Why does Luan'er say these things? As long as I work hard, Luan'er will be pregnant sooner or later, don't worry."

Xu Qingluan said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is the emperor, how can you say such things?"

"Hehehe, so what if he's the emperor? As long as I like him, that's fine."

Zheng Yi glanced at the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror and said, "Luan'er, you have to work harder."

"Ah, Your Majesty, are you still coming?"

"good!"

In the following month, Zheng Yi stayed in Xianfu Palace every day.

Through his continuous efforts, Xu Qingluan became more and more radiant and brilliant.

And his "Hundred Battles Bloody Sword" also broke through the third level on this day.

In terms of comprehensive strength, he has already entered the first-class realm!
The strange thing is that after entering the first level, he and Xu Qingluan continued to practice "Hundred Battles Blood-Slaying Sword", but his proficiency in it no longer increased.

He speculated that it must have reached a bottleneck.

Unless Xu Qingluan has a breakthrough, or he figures it out on his own, he can continue to grow his strength.

As time was running out, he decisively injected a stream of innate yin energy into Xu Qingluan's body, ending this period of crazy dual cultivation.

A first-grade warrior.

At this moment, he already has the ability to protect himself.

"Emperor Zhengyong was assassinated twice in succession, and I heard that the court has not been very stable in the past few days."

"It seems that Prime Minister Yang is going to take action?"

"The opportunity has come..."
