Chapter 37 [Emperor Qing’s Layout]

Royal study room.

The old eunuch Hong Sixiang, with injuries on his body, stood below with his head hunched, not saying a word.

Emperor Qing reviewed the memorial and only put down the pen and looked at him after he finished writing the last word.

"Does the prince really not know martial arts?" Emperor Qing asked.

"No." Hong Sixiang replied.

"How did you get injured?" Emperor Qing asked again.

“Under the Crown Prince’s command, the four women of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum join forces, and the four swords become one, with enormous power.

I am not proficient in Si Gu swordsmanship, so I am no match for him."

Speaking of this, the old eunuch felt a little dissatisfied.

He was at the peak of the ninth rank, half a step away from being a grandmaster, but he was defeated by four little girls, and he felt very unhappy.

If he had not had to use the Four-Gu Sword Technique, he might not have lost.

"The four of them working together have such strength, it's really amazing!" said Emperor Qing.

His main purpose this time was to test whether the prince was good at martial arts.

Now it seems that although he hid the martial arts level of the four maids around him, he himself should not have practiced martial arts.

"See Your Majesty!"

At this time, the commander of the imperial guards, Yan Xiaoyi, also came to the imperial study.

When he saw the blood on the old eunuch's body, his heart trembled slightly.

It turned out that the black-clad grandmaster in the forest just now was Eunuch Hong.

However, he seemed injured.

Those four women are indeed difficult to deal with.

"In your opinion, does the prince know martial arts?" Emperor Qing looked at Yan Xiaoyi and asked.

"No." Yan Xiaoyi answered with certainty.

"Oh?" Emperor Qing looked at him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Yan Xiaoyi knelt on one knee and said:

"I followed your majesty's instructions and shot an arrow into his left shoulder. Your Highness the Crown Prince was no different from an ordinary person and did not intend to dodge."

Hearing this, Emperor Qing suddenly fell silent.

The imperial study suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was weird.

Since it was Hong Sixiang and Yan Xiaoyi who verified it personally, he should no longer have any doubts.

However, his suspicious character still made it difficult for him to let go.

He always felt that something was wrong.

After a moment, Emperor Qing asked again: "Are you worried about your life?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this arrow of yours did not hit the vital point.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a miracle doctor by his side, so he should be fine."

Emperor Qing nodded and waved his hand, and the two of them retreated one after another.

In the imperial study, Emperor Qing picked up a bow and arrow, looked at it carefully, and polished it gently.

"Four maids, two of them are ninth-grade, and four swords combined into one, capable of fighting against a grandmaster. Is this your trump card?"

Emperor Qing whispered, but suddenly bent his bow and drew his arrow.

An arrow was shot out and hit the heart of the armor.

But failed to penetrate it.

“It seems that we can rest assured.

The plan can proceed to the next step..."

No one knows what plans Chen Pingping is planning in his mind.

This plan is different from the temple plan.

He has been planning for this for many years.

Now, it's time to officially begin.

Even Chen Pingping had no idea about this plan.

He was the only one making moves and planning the layout.

In the entire chess game, even Chen Pingping is just a chess piece.

And the crown prince Li Chengqian is the most important chess piece on the chessboard, right in the center of the chessboard.

The key to the entire plan is also the reason why he keeps trying.

That is, the prince must not know martial arts!
Now it seems that after several attempts, there should be no worries.

The plan can finally be implemented.

Thinking of this, a smile flashed across Emperor Qing's lips, but it was fleeting.

Walk out of the imperial study and come to the pavilion on the top of the mountain.

The emperor, the supreme ruler, stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking Kyoto.

A cold wind blew from the bottom of the cliff, fluttering his clothes. His lonely and cold figure stood proudly in the world. The emperor suddenly opened his arms, as if to embrace the whole world.

Unifying the world has always been his lifelong ambition.

However, there are too many difficulties to achieve this injustice.

If Ye Qingmei were alive, she would be a threat to him.

Moreover, every time he mentioned the temple, Ye Qingmei never mentioned a word.

In order to obtain the secret of the temple and for his own kingship, he chose to kill this woman.

However, it is too difficult to do all this.

Ye Qingmei is very prestigious in the entire court.

Her power and her influence are both intimidating.

All the wealth in the world belongs to the Ye Family Chamber of Commerce, and she is the founder of the Chamber of Commerce and the person in power.

Grandmasters Si Gu Jian, Ku He, and Ye Liuyun are all her younger brothers.

Chen Pingping from the Inspection Bureau is extremely powerful and commands 100,000 unrivaled Black Knights. Even such a person is her little fan and supporter, and is loyal to her.

How could Emperor Qing not be wary of such a person?

She is not a person who follows the rules. She does whatever she wants.

Besides, there is nothing she can't do.

Therefore, if one day she wants to ascend the throne and become an empress, she will probably get a lot of support if she just raises her arm and calls for help.

In this case, how could he not be afraid?

Therefore, whether for the sake of the dynasty's hegemony, the unification of the world, or for the temple, this woman must die.

So, on the night of her delivery, he transferred away all the people around her, giving the Queen Mother and her party a perfect opportunity.

Emperor Qing felt that Ye Qingmei might have left behind the secret of the temple before her death.

But when she died, she left nothing behind.

Emperor Qing had witnessed the power of that mysterious weapon with his own eyes.

However, this thing was taken away by Wuzhu.

Whether it was Wu Zhu, Ye Qingmei, or the powerful weapons, including those secret manuals that could allow one to break through to the Grandmaster level, all of these things came from the temple.

Therefore, no matter what, he must obtain the temple, take the things inside, dominate the world, and unify the world.

Ye Qingmei is dead, but her influence remains.

The Inspection Office was also an institution she left behind to check his imperial power.

Ku He was in charge of Northern Qi, and Si Gu Jian was the independent Dongyi City, forming a three-way balance of power.

In this way, he would not be able to unify the world by force.

Therefore, the temple is his last hope.

It is also the only hope.

There might be some secret to immortality there.

Just like Wuzhu!

Emperor Qing is almost obsessed with his desire for the temple.

For this, we can do anything!
But over the years, he discovered that his temple plan seemed to have some omissions and loopholes.

Therefore, the rise of Li Chengqian forced him to quickly change his plan and fill this loophole.

Other plans also started from this.

Even Chen Pingping was unaware of this plan, which was entirely planned, planned and implemented by him.

"I hope you won't disappoint me..."

The emperor sighed, and the whole country was shaken.

East Palace.

Li Chengqian was lying on the bed and Xia Lan was applying medicine to him.

This arrow wound is a penetrating wound, and if you are not careful, it may leave sequelae.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess is here and has arrived at the front porch." Chunmei reported from outside the house.

"Got it. No need to stop her. Let her in."

"Yes!"

Soon, Li Yunrui entered the house.

Today, she was still wearing a thin gauze and had a fragrant smell on her body.

It is eye-catching in the haziness.

The ravine attracts people's attention and makes them unable to extricate themselves from it.

She walked closer without saying anything, just stared at his wound and waited for Xia Lan to apply medicine.

"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious. Thank you for your concern, aunt."

Li Chengqian spoke first, breaking the silence.

"I didn't ask Xiaoyi to shoot the arrow." After a long time, Li Yunrui explained.
