Chapter 38: Strange People (Please collect and read)
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Liu Chengen flattered, "Your Majesty's sincerity moved the heavens, and they finally sent down immortal cultivators to guide Your Majesty on the path to immortality!"

"Stop flattering me." Zheng Yi said with a smile, "Where is the person who announced the result?"

"Your Majesty, the three people who uncovered the Immortal Seeking Order are now staying in the inn outside the Imperial City, waiting to be summoned by Your Majesty at any time!"

"Three people?"

Zheng Yi originally thought there was only one person, but unexpectedly there were three!

"Let them enter the palace now...wait a moment."

Zheng Yi frowned and said, "Three days later, I will receive them in Zhonghe Hall."

"Also, you go to the underground palace and ask Chen Liancang to come."

It was during his last trip to the underground palace that he found out that the old eunuch Chen Liancang, who led the Shadow Guard, was actually a master!

As expected, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the palace. I wonder if there are any powerful people hiding?
"And Zhao Suling from the Temple of Worship, ask him to come as well."

With two Grandmasters secretly protecting him, he is not afraid even if these three people have other intentions.

Besides, Zhao Suling is also a Taoist and is interested in cultivating immortals.

Ok?
Zhao Suling!
Taiyi Dao!
How could he forget Taiyi Dao?

In Taiyi Taoism, there is an ancestor who lived for more than a hundred years.

Will they know about cultivating immortals?

“Yes~!”

Three days later, Zhonghe Hall.

The Empress, Concubine Duan and Concubine De were sitting at the top of the hall, chatting.

In the right corner, there is a beautiful woman sitting.

Li Lizhen.

Under Zheng Yi's order, except for Concubine Shu and Concubine Bi who were in confinement after giving birth, all the beauties in the harem were present.

Today is the day when Zheng Yi will test those three strange men who took down the Immortal Seeking Order, and he specially brought several concubines from the harem to entertain them.

"Sister Duan Fei, you are nearly four months pregnant, but why don't you look pregnant at all?"

As the queen, Lu Lin'er is naturally qualified to sit in the main seat... on the left.

"This makes my sister really envious~"

Today the queen attended the event in gorgeous attire. Her bright red phoenix robe was embellished with golden threads, making her look even more graceful and elegant.

The Concubine Duan sitting opposite her was still wearing a moon-white robe that covered her slightly bulging belly. There was dark red eye shadow in the corners of her eyes, making her look even more heroic.

"Your Highness, you are too polite. My sister has practiced military martial arts, so her physique is naturally stronger than that of ordinary women."

Concubine Duan said naturally: "If the Queen needs it, I can give you some female body-building methods."

"No need."

Lu Lin'er still smiled and said, "A woman should stay at home to take care of her husband and children. It's a shame to fight and kill. Fortunately, Concubine Duan married His Majesty~"

Concubine Duan frowned. She really didn't like this kind of occasion.

But since His Majesty had given the order, she had to come and could only sulk in secret.

"That's not what the Queen said."

Defei on the side suddenly spoke up and said that Defei was the daughter of Li Changfeng, the Minister of War.

Although she herself had not practiced martial arts, she was on good terms with Xu Qingluan, who was from the Longxiang Army. She immediately retorted, "A few months ago, Yang Ni rebelled and the rebels attacked the harem. It was thanks to Concubine Duan that she organized the eunuchs and maids in the palace to repel them."

"And the last time His Majesty was assassinated, it was Concubine Duan who protected His Majesty."

"If it's possible, I also want to learn martial arts, sister!"

"you……"

Lu Lin'er was furious because there were too few concubines in the entire imperial harem.

Shufei's father was suspected of treason, and she herself gave birth to a princess. Now she has been banished to the cold palace and will never be able to come out for the rest of her life.

Concubine Duan and Concubine De had the same background and had already formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

As for Concubine Bi and Concubine Zhen...

She glanced at Concubine Zhen, who was sitting at the lower right, hugging her two daughters and fidgeting, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

The emperor brother is really something.

Giving everyone the status of concubine and noble lady is really beneath the royal status. Fortunately, my aunt came up with an idea to select concubines for my brother the emperor.

At that time, although she would share her brother the emperor with other women, she would be able to consolidate her own position.

Overall, it's still a good deal.

Concubine Duan and Concubine De sat together, whispering to each other and ignoring the Queen.

"I heard that three strange people took down the immortal-seeking order posted by your majesty. I wonder if they are immortal cultivators?"

"I heard from people that these three people have their own abilities and have made a great name for themselves in the capital these days!"

"Oh? What abilities do they have?"

"I heard that there is a person who is good at using palm thunder and can summon thunder from the sky."

Li Changle whispered, "I heard someone saw it with their own eyes. With one palm strike, that person blew a tree that was so big that two people could hug it into two halves!"

"Hiss... so powerful?"

"Also, there is a man who is good at raising spiritual beasts. He has a wolfdog that can understand human language and do whatever he is told to do."

"What's so strange about this?" Xu Qingluan asked curiously, "There are animal trainers in the army who can make animals so obedient."

"No, I heard that the wolfdog can write human characters!"

"Hiss... So magical? What about the third person?"

"The third person seemed to be talking about the art of detecting Feng Shui and finding dragons and turning them into gold."

"Feng Shui? Looking for dragons? This person is really not afraid of death... He actually dares to come before Your Majesty to enlighten a real dragon?"

The two women were whispering to each other, causing the queen to look at them sideways.

She wanted to join in the discussion, but was afraid of losing her status. She was so angry that she kept using her handkerchief and almost tore it in half.

"Mom, what are we doing here?"

"Mother, this cake is delicious. Can I take some back later?"

Jie'er and Yu'er gathered close to Li Lizhen and talked in a low voice.

Li Lizhen not only had to sit up straight, but also had to constantly remind her two daughters in a low voice not to be too unruly, and she was very anxious.

If it wasn't necessary, she really couldn't come into contact with other concubines in the palace.

After all, he was very clear about his own identity, and being named a noble was already a great blessing.

In this life, I only want to raise my two daughters and marry them off to a good family.

"Your Majesty has arrived~!"

Just then, Liu Chengen's loud voice came from the door, and everyone stood up quickly.

Soon, Zheng Yi stepped into the Zhonghe Hall, and everyone bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you!"

"Be flat."

Zheng Yi strode to the main seat and sat down. Behind him, two figures followed and quietly disappeared in the corner behind the dragon throne.

Chen Liancang.

Zhao Suling.

"My beloved concubines, today is a major event since I started looking for immortals. It is said that these three people all have extraordinary skills, which is a blessing for Dayu."

Zheng Yi said, "Thank you. Summon these three people to the throne."

"promise!"

Liu Chengen shouted, "Announce the three of you to come to see me!"

"Announce that the three people who are looking for the immortals are coming to see you!"

"Announce the three people who are looking for the immortals and ask them to come to the audience..."

The decree was conveyed, and soon three men of different appearances walked in quickly under the leadership of eunuchs.

"I am Lei Mingzi, a foreigner. I am honored to meet your majesty!"

"I, Chen Gou'er, pay my respects to His Majesty!"

"My name is Hu Bafeng, nice to meet your majesty."

The three people entered, each with a different expression, and bowed one after another.

Zheng Yi said, "You three together took down the Immortal Seeking Order I set up. Do you recognize them?"
