Chapter 31: Cao Thief (Please collect and read)
late at night.

Three figures, one big and two small, walked towards the Qiankun Hall, surrounded by several eunuchs.

After the destruction of Jiaotai Hall, Zheng Yi has been living in Qiankun Hall for the past two months.

The number of the Imperial Guards and Embroidered Uniform Guards on guard doubled.

pity.

The Shadow Guards that Zheng Yi wanted most had all been killed. Otherwise, it would have been safer to have a group of loyal young eunuchs guarding around the Qiankun Palace.

"Mom, where are we going~"

"Mom, this is so big, is that a star? This is the first time I've seen one, it's so beautiful!"

"By the way, mother, where's father? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Me too, me too~"

The beautiful woman hugged her two daughters nervously. She had no time to feel sad. She could only comfort them, "Your father... has gone to help His Majesty."

"really?"

"Is this the Majesty we are going to marry?"

"Ah."

The beautiful woman nodded vigorously with a sad look in her eyes.

She already knew about the death of her husband Dong Yunfeng, but she couldn't tell the truth to her two daughters.

I can only hide this sadness in my heart and raise my two daughters well.

Who would have thought that tonight, a eunuch suddenly came to the door and said that His Majesty had summoned him.

The beautiful woman was so excited that she hurriedly brought her two daughters and followed the eunuch here.

After comforting her two daughters, the beautiful woman took two quick steps and asked in a low voice, "Hello, eunuch. I wonder why His Majesty summoned my mother and I, my daughter, for such an important matter?"

Liu Chengen was very self-aware and said respectfully, "Madam, I don't know."

"However, since His Majesty can summon you at this time, he must have his own plans."

"Madam, please think carefully about how to serve His Majesty later~"

"serve?"

The beautiful woman was stunned at first, then as if she thought of something, her pretty face turned red and white.

I feel sad, but I don’t know what to do.

Deep down in my heart, there was actually a hint of... joy?
Their family had been arranged to live in the underground palace by the Dayu royal family a long time ago, especially her husband, who had grown up there since childhood.

There are people teaching us day and night how to be loyal to Dayu and to Your Majesty.

After decades of brainwashing, their family had already become loyal soldiers of the Dayu Dynasty.

Or in other words...Emperor Zhengyong's assassins.

Even if Emperor Zhengyong asked them to die, they would do it without hesitation.

Just like... those little eunuchs.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother, mother, it's okay, let's go."

The beautiful woman pulled the two little girls and whispered, "Do you remember what your mother taught you?"

"Remember to remember!"

"When you see His Majesty, you must be respectful and obedient!"

"Yes, and you must cooperate with whatever His Majesty wants to do!"

"Your Majesty's words are the imperial decree!"

"Your Majesty will not be wrong..."

With the chattering of the two little girls, the dim road soon became bright.

We have arrived at Qiankun Palace.

"Your Majesty, Dong Yunfeng's widow and daughter have been brought here."

Liu Chengen said respectfully, and then the beautiful woman heard a steady and majestic voice.

"come in."

"promise!"

Liu Chengen whispered, "When you see His Majesty later, don't raise your head. Be respectful."

"Uh-huh……"

Soon, the three of them walked into the inner room, which was brightly lit and had a warm atmosphere.

"His Majesty."

"Go down."

"promise."

Liu Chengen left, and only Zheng Yi, the beautiful woman, and two little girls were left in the room.

"I, Li Lizhen, greet your majesty."

"Keep your head up."

"promise."

The beautiful woman's body trembled, but she slowly raised her head.

Under the bright light, Zheng Yi's heart couldn't help but move.

Last time in the underground palace, the lights were dim and all my attention was on Dong Yunfeng, so I didn't notice the beautiful woman behind him.

I didn't expect this woman to be so charming.

It's like a ripe peach.

A ball of red jade under the mandarin duck curtain, sleepy eyes and weak alcohol;

The white wrists are raised high, the body is twisted gracefully, and the enchanting breasts are exposed through the silk clothes.

As the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial.

Dong Yunfeng died because of Emperor Zhengyong, and although Li Lizhen had passed the mourning period at this time, she subconsciously still wore a plain white long dress.

Now kneeling on the ground, from Zheng Yi's perspective, he was emitting a light that was impossible to look directly at.

Undead?
Beside her, there were two little faces as delicate as porcelain dolls. They were Dong Yunfeng’s two daughters.

At first glance, they are both beauties.

Damn, in the previous life, everyone wanted to be a thief.

It's really... too tempting! "Someone come."

"His Majesty."

Two little palace maids came in and said respectfully.

"Take the two girls down first and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some snacks for them."

"promise."

Although the two little girls' eyes were full of interest and surprise, they still followed the two girls obediently.

"cough……"

Zheng Yi coughed lightly and said, "Madam Dong Yun, Dong Yunfeng died while suppressing a rebellion. The instigator has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by me, and will be sentenced to death along with his entire clan in the near future."

"I have avenged your husband for you."

Li Lizhen's delicate body trembled, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

hiss……

this angle.

"Flat body, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Lizhen stood up and carefully sat on the Eight Immortals Stool next to her.

But he was still nervous and only dared to hit half of his buttocks, and stopped the upper body.

Zheng Yi's eyes were full of greed, and he continued, "I asked you to come here tonight because I have something important to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"Do you know your husband Dong Yunfeng's life experience, the techniques he practices, or the secrets of the world of immortal cultivation?"

Zheng Yi suppressed his excitement and asked, "Also, did he leave anything behind?"

"Paintings and calligraphy? Books? Jade pendants? Jade bottles?"

"I want all of these things!"

"The secret of the world of immortal cultivation?"

Li Lizhen tilted her head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about the secrets of the immortal world."

"But when my husband was alive, he once asked me to memorize a book, saying that it was the secret book of his Dongyun clan."

"The secret book of the clan?"

Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Are there any books or notes left?"

"No."

Li Lizhen shook her head and said, "My husband said, said..."

As she spoke, she looked up at Zheng Yi cautiously.

Zheng Yi immediately said: "I forgive you, speak!"

"promise."

Li Lizhen whispered: "My husband said that he had copied down the secret book, but it was destroyed by the late emperor, and he was also punished by the late emperor..."

"Since then, my husband has never dared to memorize any classics again."

"I see……"

Zheng Yi tapped the table with one hand and asked, "Can you write it down from memory?"

"can."

Li Lizhen said, "But that book is very long, and contains many unfamiliar characters and incomprehensible language. I will need three... no, one day."

"One day?"

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "I can still wait for a day. After I go back... No, I will stay in Qiankun Palace. Don't be in a hurry. Write slowly and don't make any mistakes. I can wait."

"promise!"

Li Lizhen quickly stood up and said, "I obey your command."

"No need to be so polite." Zheng Yi asked, "Anything else?"

"My late husband mentioned it once. He seemed to have mentioned something about the Ephemeral Sect, the great changes in the world, and the collapse of spiritual energy."

Li Lizhen looked at it carefully again and said, "It seems that they also mentioned that the entire continent used to belong to the Mayfly Sect..."

"Mayfly Sect?"

Zheng Yi's heart was also moved. On the night when Yang Xuansu plotted rebellion, he had heard Emperor Zhengyong mention the words "remnants of the Fei clan".

What is the relationship between the Mayfly Sect and the Mayfly Tower?
Is the latter the remaining organization of the former?

The remnants of the Mayfly Clan?
Could it be that the royal family of Dayu, or the royal families of other countries, have records and classics about the world of cultivation?
Because he was a shadow, he didn't know.

and also……

According to what Li Lizhen said, and also his guess.

This continent, or this continent, used to be the world of a cultivation sect called "Ephemeral Sect".

However, due to the great changes in heaven and earth and the collapse of spiritual energy, the Ephemeral Sect collapsed one after another and was then invaded by other sects or forces.

The ancestor of Dong Yunfeng was obviously one of them.

Finally, after thousands or even tens of thousands of years of reproduction and evolution, it has become what it is now?

"Your Majesty, that's all I know. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me..."

"Nothing, you helped me a lot."

He had to verify and check all these things one by one.

Today, there is something more important.

Zheng Yi looked at Li Lizhen with burning eyes and said, "It is a blessing from heaven that I can see you today, Madam."

He took two steps forward, looked down at Li Lizhen, and grabbed her warm little hand.

"Madam, would you like to share my bed with me tonight?"

Li Lizhen's whole body trembled and her heart beat wildly.

He looked up at Zheng Yi in disbelief, then quickly lowered his head.

"I, my concubine, am honored to serve Your Majesty..."

The tent is warm with red candles, and the quilt is rolled by red waves.

An hour later, a line of words appeared on the mirror of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, causing Zheng Yi to suddenly open his eyes!
