Chapter 74 The Secret History of the Royal Family's Cultivation
Kunning Palace.

Lu Lin'er washed herself until she was white, and also used the scented powder that His Majesty had bestowed on her last month. With just a slight sniff, one could smell the rich floral scent.

Perhaps it was the nourishment of the hot spring water, her face looked extremely delicate and rosy, as delicate as a peeled egg.

Especially the pair of breasts. In order to maintain her figure and slim body, Lu Lin'er never breastfed her daughter Zheng Yuhuan herself. Four wet nurses did it for her.

As for her, under the guidance of her aunt in the palace, she had been using precious things to nourish her body, waiting for His Majesty to come and serve him well.

Just as she was combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror, the chief eunuch walked in quickly.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen!"

Lu Lin'er turned around quickly and said, "Lu Fu, His Majesty is here? Hurry up and serve His Majesty the Tremella and Snow Lotus Soup."

"Queen!"

Lu Fu called out to Lu Lin'er and said, "Your Majesty, we went to Yonghe Palace."

"Yonghe Palace?"

Lu Lin'er's face changed slightly: "How is it possible? Isn't Yonghe Palace where the criminal Yang Huan lives? That place has become a cold palace, and all the eunuchs and palace maids have run away. What is your Majesty going there for?"

"Reporting to the Queen, today Yang Huan took advantage of the selection ceremony in the Imperial Garden to call the eunuchs guarding the Yonghe Palace. She secretly disguised herself as a palace maid and ran to the Imperial Garden and bumped into the sedan chair of Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty was called away because the eldest princess, Princess Yaochi, was seriously ill."

"Bitch!!!"

Lu Lin'er gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you snatch my favor away? How come Yang Huan, that bitch, is still alive?"

"The princess is ill? Then ask the imperial physician to treat her. Yang Huan has committed a serious crime, and Your Majesty only needs to take a look at Princess Yao Chi."

Lu Lin'er continued, "Lu Fu, go to Yonghe Palace and keep watch. Once His Majesty comes out, bring him here immediately."

"The Queen."

Lu Fu continued, "I have been guarding the gate of Yonghe Palace. His Majesty was furious and beat to death all the palace servants who left Yonghe Palace. He also ordered the death of the chief imperial physician Liu Chen."

"Humph!"

Lu Lin'er snorted coldly, "They are just a bunch of slaves who are disloyal and cling to the rich and powerful. Even if Concubine Shu commits a big mistake, as long as Your Majesty doesn't punish her, she is still a concubine!"

"A bunch of slaves, how dare they bully the concubine? They really deserve to die!"

"and then?"

She changed her tone and said, "After dealing with these, Your Majesty should leave. After all, Yang Huan is the descendant of a criminal. There is no reason for Your Majesty to sleep in Yonghe Palace tonight."

"You, quickly go to Yonghe Palace. His Majesty said that he will sleep in Kunning Palace tonight. You must bring His Majesty here. Do you understand?"

"promise!"

Lu Fu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Empress, should we be careful of Concubine Shu in the future?"

"Be careful of Concubine Shu? Why?"

"Your Majesty has been in Yonghe Palace for such a long time without coming out. If Concubine Shu regains favor, then..."

"impossible!"

Lu Lin'er gritted her teeth and said, "Yang Huan is the descendant of a criminal. How could she possibly regain favor?"

"Miss!"

Lu Fu added: "Which of the ladies in the palace doesn't want to get on your majesty's bed? Just like those ladies in the selection today."

"Your Majesty is going to Yonghe Palace tonight. There is no guarantee that Concubine Shu will not use all her tricks."

"What if Concubine Shu regains her favor?"

Lu Lin'er frowned and said immediately: "Shu Fei... Yang Huan!"

"Lu Fu, go to Yonghe Palace first and keep an eye on it. If there is any change, please inform me at any time. I will think about it carefully."

"promise!"

Looking at Lu Fu's leaving back, Lu Lin'er frowned.

"Your Majesty has taken so many women into the palace, there is no guarantee that there won't be any accidents. In order to stabilize your Majesty's harem and to ensure the longevity of the Great Yu Empire, I have no choice but to be the bad guy!"

"And Concubine Yang Huan... her status means she can never be my opponent or enemy, unless Your Majesty is confused!"

Yonghe Palace.

Yang Huan sat in Zheng Yi's arms, staring at his face infatuatedly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that Huan'er deliberately deceived you, it's just that Huan'er really can't live any longer."

"If it weren't for the fact that Yao'er, Qing'er, and Ning'er were still young..."

Zheng Yi kissed Yang Huan's forehead and said, "Don't worry, Huan'er. I won't let anyone bully you in the future."

Yang Huan said softly: "Your Majesty, I am so happy. Even if you let me die tomorrow, I will be willing!"

"Don't talk about life or death."

Zheng Yi hugged her tightly again and said, "You are my woman. Without my order, no one can let you die. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Liu Chengen had already driven everyone out of the room, and now there were only two of them left in the dormitory.

Zheng Yi patiently comforted Yang Huan. After a full cup of tea, Yang Huan finally sat up and tidied her messy palace clothes.

"His Majesty."

She said sternly, "My father... Alas, he once said that the reason why Huo Lingzi, the deputy building owner of Ye Fei Building, helped him was because he wanted him to do something that Your Majesty would never agree to after he succeeded."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Zheng Yi became interested and asked, "I was wondering before, what else can Huo Lingzi not get as a cultivator?"

"Even if he can't get it, he can come to me and I will definitely fulfill his wish. Why bother looking for your father for help?"

Yang Huan said seriously: "Your Majesty is the Lord of Dayu. Everyone in the four seas belongs to Your Majesty. Your Majesty can do whatever you want."

"But this matter...Your Majesty may not be able to do it."

Zheng Yi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My father said that Ye Huo Lingzi made a very strange request to him."

Yang Huan said: "After the success, he wants my father to help him... dig up the imperial tomb!"

"Did you dig up the imperial tomb?"

Zheng Yi's tone was strange, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "The imperial tomb was dug up! The imperial tomb was dug up!"

"Did he say which emperor's tomb he wanted to dig up?!"

Yes!

It's been so long, why didn't he think of it!
Dayu was a dynasty established on the corpses of the Mayfly Sect and dozens of cultivator families. The founding emperor Zheng Mingsen himself might have been a cultivator.

At the very least, they can cooperate with other monastic families.

Otherwise, why would he imprison the descendants of the Dongyun family?
In other words, the Dongyun family was originally the ruler of Dayu, but was overthrown by Zheng Mingsen, who established Dayu!
And in his mausoleum, there must be records of the secrets of cultivation.

Maybe it’s a tool for cultivation, or maybe it’s a secret method for cultivation, both are possible!
No wonder Huo Lingzi would seek cooperation with Yang Xuansu.

No wonder Yang Huan said that I would never be able to do this.

Yes.

If it was really Emperor Yong, it would be impossible to do it.

You must be kidding. As an emperor, he actually wants to dig up the imperial tomb.

If this matter gets out, not only the imperial court, but the entire Dayu will be in chaos!

Those princes, dukes, and other feudal lords who were enfeoffed in various places, as long as they had ambitions, would be the first to rise up and rebel against the court.

Dayu was not founded on filial piety.

However, filial piety also occupies a very high position in Dayu, only second to "loyalty".

But... I am not Emperor Zhengyong!

As long as you want, you can dig up the imperial tomb without any psychological burden.

It’s just that we have to do it more secretly!
Yang Huan frowned and said, "No, but I later looked up the life histories of the twenty-one emperors of Dayu and found that the target of the Fire Spirit was no more than three emperors."

"The first one is the founding emperor of Dayu, Emperor Mingwu."

"He wiped out the rule of the monks and established a mortal dynasty. He must have something from the monks in his hands."

"The second one is the third emperor of our Dayu Dynasty, Emperor Jingwen."

"It is said that when he was in power, he worked hard to govern the country and allowed the people to recuperate. Only then did the entire Dayu gradually stabilize and prosper."

"According to historical records, in the eighteenth year of Emperor Jingwen's reign, an immortal sailed across the East China Sea and was worshipped as the Imperial Master by Emperor Jingwen."

"And Emperor Jingwen, because of this imperial teacher, reigned for forty-one years, making him the longest-reigning emperor among all the emperors of Dayu!"

"the third……"

At this point, Yang Huan looked up at Zheng Yi and said, "Yes, it's the late emperor."

"The late emperor?"

Zheng Yi murmured, isn’t this Emperor Zhengyong’s father?

"Ok!"

Yang Huan nodded vigorously and said, "The late emperor, Emperor Tianqi."

"When he was in power, he used Xu Mujun, my father, and Miao Xiu, the general of Yunzhou, to win over the Baiyue people in Nanyue County, expelled the Heiyue people who were hostile to Dayu, and supported the Baiyue people."

"From then on, we occupied Nanyue County and expanded the territory for Dayu."

"It is said that Emperor Tianqi personally led the army to kill a Nanyue man who was controlling the flying insects in the sky."

"After that, Emperor Tianqi started to build a mausoleum after returning to the capital. This construction lasted for eighteen years, and eventually a huge underground mausoleum was built."

"Six years ago, the late emperor passed away and was buried under that mausoleum..."

"The late emperor, the Emperor of Apocalypse!"

Zheng Yi murmured, his eyes full of thought.

After a few breaths, Yang Huan whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty~"

"What's the matter?"

"Is what I am talking about useful to Your Majesty?"

"Yes! Of course! Hahaha~"

Zheng Yi picked up Yang Huan again and laughed.

With a beautiful woman in your arms, why are you still thinking about death?

No matter what, since Huo Lingzi wants to dig up the emperor's tomb, it means that there must be something he covets in the tomb.

Now he is seriously injured and has fled, and no one knows where he is recuperating.

Then everything in the emperor’s mausoleum belongs to me!

As for filial piety or unfilial piety?
I am not a member of the Zheng family of Dayu, so why can't I dig it out?

As for digging that mausoleum?
Never mind, let’s dig it all up first. I don’t believe that we can’t find what Huo Lingzi is looking for!
However, we have to think of a good way to know how and when to dig without telling many ministers.

"My beloved concubine has done a great thing for me. Huan'er, what do you want me to reward you with?"

Yang Huan leaned on Zheng Yi's broad shoulders and said sincerely: "I don't want anything. As long as Your Majesty can take some time out of his busy schedule to come and see me and Yao'er, I will be satisfied."

"Huan'er..."

Zheng Yi held up Yang Huan's head and looked at her beautiful face which looked a little haggard, his heart filled with emotion and pity.

"Cheng En!"

"The slave is here!"

The door of the room was opened and Liu Chengen walked in quickly.

"Decree: Concubine Yang Huan is gentle and kind, prudent and self-disciplined, harmonious and graceful, and skilled in etiquette. She is respectful and diligent in her duties."

"Name: Yang Guifei!"

Liu Chengen's body shook, his eyes filled with shock.

Royal concubine?

Shufei, was conferred the title of Guifei?
This... is such a huge matter!
But he quickly let it go, and quickly knelt down and said, "Your servant, obey your order!"

"Go down."

"promise!"

"Your Majesty~!"

Liu Chengen stepped back, while Yang Huan looked at Zheng Yi with excitement and tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have no way to repay your kindness. I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly with my humble body!"

"Huan'er, you've worked hard!"

He picked up Yang Huan and strode towards the dormitory.

For a moment, the red candles rolled and the cries of phoenixes filled the room.

Outside the Yonghe Palace, Liu Chengen also walked out with a strange look on his face.

What kind of magic potion did this Concubine Yang Huan put on His Majesty that she was actually named a noble concubine!

The rank of a noble concubine is only below that of the empress and the imperial noble concubine.

How could she, a criminal,...

"Eunuch Liu!"

In the darkness, a bent figure walked over quickly and stuffed a gold ingot into Liu Chengen's sleeve.

"When will your Majesty leave? The Queen is waiting for your Majesty to have dinner."

With the help of the dim light, Lu Fu, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, weighed the gold ingot in his sleeve again, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Lu Fu, you are also an old man in the palace. Listen to my advice and let the queen rest early."

"Your Majesty will stay at Yonghe Palace tonight."

"what?"

Lu Fu was surprised and asked: "Why is this happening?"

"Shufei Yang Huan was given the title of Yang Guifei!"

"what?!"
