Chapter 187 [The Real Opponent]

Qingguo.

Royal study room.

It was already late at night, but Emperor Qing was still grinding gunpowder.

Such an action made the old eunuch's eyelids twitch.

That's gunpowder!
If you are not careful, it will explode directly.

However, he did not dare to speak out to stop it.

I can only continue to worry.

Emperor Qing studied the flame ratio, but progress was slow.

He has been sharpening his arrows, but recently he suddenly remembered the scene of the headshot.

explosion!

So he thought of gunpowder.

"See Your Majesty."

Li Yunrui walked in.

With a head full of white hair, her temperament has changed drastically, and she is very different from before.

Emperor Qing looked at the person in front of him and paused slightly.

I don’t know when it started, but Li Yunrui has completely changed.

It became unknown to him.

The person was completely different from the one he remembered.

Emperor Qing hasn't seen Li Yunrui for a long time.

In fact, Emperor Qing has always known Li Yunrui's thoughts very clearly.

But he never responded.

Just pretend you don’t know.

However, since some time ago, Li Yunrui no longer had the same feelings towards him as before.

Emperor Qing also felt this.

"Get up."

The old eunuch brought a stool to Li Yunrui.

"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me here so late at night?" Li Yunrui asked.

I was also wondering what Emperor Qing’s purpose was.

But she still had no answer.

Since returning from Japan, the two seemed to have never met each other again.

"I heard that you learned martial arts?" Emperor Qing asked as he continued grinding the gunpowder.

"Correct."

Li Yunrui nodded, "It has entered the ninth rank."

This was no secret, and she had no need to hide it.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Emperor Qing did not raise his head.

There didn't seem to be any command in this tone.

More like small talk.

However, Li Yunrui was very familiar with the person in front of him.

This situation is not as simple as it seems.

She immediately understood that Emperor Qing was already suspecting Li Chengqian.

So, I wanted to get the answer from her.

"I had a dream, and I learned all these skills in the dream." Li Yunrui said.

"dream?"

Emperor Qing looked up.

It sounded like these were mocking him.

However, there was no trace of unnecessary expression on Emperor Qing's face.

Just a little thought.

"What dream?" asked Emperor Qing.

Li Yunrui was silent.

I can't say that I killed you in my dream.

"It was a strange dream, in which I met a man who taught me martial arts."

Li Yunrui answered simply.

Learning martial arts in dreams?

But it broke through so quickly.

It's a miracle.

Emperor Qing continued to grind the gunpowder and did not ask any more questions.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere suddenly became very subtle.

After a moment, Emperor Qing asked, "Can you show me the secret book?"

Li Yunrui was silent for a while, then replied, "Okay!"

The old eunuch brought paper and pen, and Li Yunrui began to memorize the exercises.

However, many things were tampered with.

If you practice rashly, you will surely die.

"That person said that this technique requires certain qualifications as a prerequisite. Otherwise, if you practice it rashly, you will explode and die."

Li Yunrui handed over the secret book he had written out from memory.

The old eunuch took it and presented it to Emperor Qing.

Looking at the eye-catching font in the first line, even Emperor Qing's eyebrows jumped slightly:
If you want to practice this skill, swing your sword from the palace!

The second prince's residence.

"You mean, my aunt was summoned to the imperial study in the middle of the night?"

The second prince said sleepily.

He was awakened by Xie Bian.

Barefoot, yawning, "Do you have grapes? Give me two bunches to perk me up." he asked.

"I've prepared it for you."

Xie Bian handed over a plate.

Just two strings.

Already washed.

However, one of the bunches seemed to be missing two beads.

"Why would the emperor summon my aunt at this time?!"

The second prince ate grapes and thought.

"Your Highness, Chunmei and Kuhe are fighting at the border."

"Oh?" The second prince looked up. "Who's the winner? I guess Chunmei lost."

"No, she won. Ku He was seriously injured and has been in seclusion to recover."

The second prince stood up in a flash.

Grape seeds are bitter.

The second prince was chewing.

It seems that this bitterness can make him sober.

"It seems that His Majesty has set his sights on my aunt's cultivation secrets..."

The second prince muttered.

“I would actually like to see the secret manual of martial arts that can help you break through to the ninth level in a short period of time.

Maybe, I can also become a ninth-grade master."

"Your Majesty also wants to practice this martial art?" Xie Bian asked.

"It's possible."

After saying this, the Second Prince sighed:

"Our Crown Prince has too many secrets, and there must be many people who covet him.

If he wasn't the prince, if he wasn't powerful enough, he would have died long ago.

Now, even His Majesty has set his sights on him."

"Your Majesty trusts His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much. If you want it, why don't you just ask?"

Xie Bian said.

"You, the warrior's mind, let me tell you, the crown prince's greatest rival in the world today is not someone else, but His Majesty."

Xie Bian: "..."

He really doesn't understand.

"Should I do something?" The second prince spat out the grape seeds in his mouth.

It’s really bitter!

After changing clothes.

The second prince went to the imperial study.

When he arrived at the imperial study, he happened to meet Li Yunrui walking out.

But his complexion didn't seem very good.

The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and passed each other.

"What are you doing here so late?"

Emperor Qing was flipping through the secret book and didn't look at the Second Prince.

"Father, your son wants to impeach the Crown Prince." The second prince knelt down and said.

"Impeachment of what?"

Emperor Qing's gaze still fell on the opening sentence:
If you want to practice this skill, swing your sword from the palace!

Inspection Institute.

It was so late at night, but Chen Pingping didn't sleep.

He has always been a light sleeper.

At this moment, he was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

The above is the latest news from Northern Qi.

"Won?"

"This is impossible!" Shadow stepped out from the shadows.

quietly.

“Ku He is a veteran grandmaster with strong Qi.

Chunmei has only just been promoted to Grandmaster and has little combat experience, so how could she possibly suppress Kuhe?"

Chen Pingping didn't say anything, just handed the note over.

After reading it, Shadow fell silent.

"There are so many secrets about this prince!"

Chen Pingping thought of Ye Qingmei back then.

At that time, she was also so popular

There are countless secrets on her body, which is amazing.

"Will Li Chengqian follow in Ye Qingmei's footsteps?" Shadow asked.

"I don't know." Chen Pingping said truthfully: "They are different people."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Killing Li Chengqian is much more difficult than killing Ye Qingmei back then."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "If she had been as cautious and ruthless as Li Chengqian back then, perhaps she wouldn't have..."

"If there's a chance, I'd like to try it," Shadow said.

In the past, he always wanted to fight Wuzhu.

Now there is one more.

Shadow has always firmly believed that he would be able to break through to the supreme realm of Grand Master in the future.

But now, a maid took the lead in breaking through.

And he also defeated the veteran grandmaster.

For geniuses, there is a sense of frustration that if there is Yu, why not Liang?

"It's useless for you to fight with her. The real secret lies with Li Chengqian." Chen Pingping said.
