“What’s her background?” Zhang Ronghua frowned.”
The Crown Prince introduced her identity. Madam Zhenlie was a first-grade imperial concubine, and her late husband was the Divine Martial General. She had outstanding military achievements and had great prestige in the army.
Ten years ago.
The Divine Martial General led the army to fight fiercely against the Great Shang Dynasty. He fought for seven days and defeated them, thwarting the Great Shang’s scheme. However, he died in that battle.
When the news reached the capital, the court was shaken.
He wanted to give her a reward, but he did not have any children, not even a daughter. He had no choice but to give it to his wife, and that was how the name Lady Zhenlie came about.
The Divine Martial Great General was a great general in the army that Emperor Xia valued, and her status was also very high.
When it came to imperial power, Zhang Ronghua knew his limits and did not make any suggestions.
He believed that no one in power would allow anything detrimental to them to happen.
“Prepare the carriage. I want to enter the palace!”
Ma Ping ‘an was leading the Flood Dragon Guards. Zhang Ronghua and the others had been busy living until now, so they could take a break.
Before the matter was settled, it was not suitable to go back. He could attack again at any time.
He hadn’t eaten for a day, so he was hungry.
He entered the kitchen.
As soon as he arrived, Zheng Fugui followed him in.””Cousin, why didn’t you call me when you were eating?”
“You didn’t eat dinner?”
“Didn’t you come back a long time ago?”
“His Highness has been waiting for news from your side.”
Zhang Ronghua handed over a plate of washed black grapes. He took a banana and peeled it open to eat.
“Will something happen?”
He ate a black grape faster than anyone else.
“You’re afraid that something will happen and you’re still eating?”
“You gave it to me!”
Bang!
Reward him with a chestnut.
He cleaned the watermelon, then gave it half of the watermelon and ate it with a spoon.
“Cousin, did you do this before?”
“Some food can’t stop your mouth.”
“We have made such a great contribution this time. What do you think His Highness will reward us with?”
Zhang Ronghua rolled his eyes. He was not a worm in the Crown Prince’s stomach, so how would he know?
He shook his head and continued eating.
They waited for an entire night.
The Crown Prince entered the palace around midnight and had not returned by dawn.
He came out from the corner and yawned. Looking at the rising sun, he guessed in his heart. The Xia Emperor did not agree? No matter how high Madam Zhenlie’s status was, there was only one outcome for her when it came to imperial power-death!
The morning court session ended.
The Crown Prince returned and got down from the carriage, calling him into the Xuanhe Hall.
“Last night, after entering the palace to meet Father, I went to her residence and interrogated her, but I didn’t get any clues. I could only give her a white silk to send her on her way, and then returned to the palace. Today, Feng Zhengyi went to court and looked at the image in the voice recording stone. His expression changed drastically. Other than apologizing to me, he also promised me some benefits. The Nanman Kingdom had paid a huge price for this. The position that Wu Li Zhi had vacated after his death was taken over by my people.”
“Almost.” Zhang Ronghua looked regretful.”
“From the start of the confrontation until now, no matter who is the one attacking, or if several people are working together, they will definitely be desperate after losing so much strength.”
He narrowed his eyes and a cold glint flashed in them.
“I’m very curious who this person is!”
He changed the topic.
“This time, you have made a great contribution. You will be rewarded with a heaven-grade medicinal pill, four manuscripts of the great scholar, and ten thousand taels of silver. You are also about to be crowned. According to reason, the title should be given by the elders.” Zhang Ronghua had no objections.
He pondered for a while.
He then said,”Rising from the blue clouds, it’s also a lone Qilin. Let’s call it Qinglin!” Take the meaning and soar to the nine heavens.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
“I heard from Shuang ‘er that you like to drink wine. You haven’t finished the Heavenly Jade Brew that the palace sent last time. This time, we’ve sent another batch.”
Zheng Fugui’s eyes were wide open. Cousin had received so many rewards. Although his contributions were not as high as his, he could at least get some, right?
She looked at him eagerly, her eyes almost asking for a reward.
“You silly boy!” The Crown Prince scolded with a smile.”
The latter rubbed the back of his head.
“You will be promoted to vice captain of the Flood Dragon Guards and rewarded with two thousand taels.”
His mouth was crooked from laughing and he hurriedly thanked him.”
“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll give you two days off.”
The two of them left.
Qing ‘Er closed the door of the hall and said with a solemn expression,””Just now, this servant used the Mysterious Heavenly Eye Technique to secretly check his cultivation. He’s still at Zongshi realm level 4!”
The Crown Prince shook his head.” He hid his cultivation. If he was only at the fourth tier of the Grandmaster Realm, do you think he could defeat the sect master of the Heavenly Sound Sect?” There are also the evil spirits? “Why don’t you ask me if I’m going to be able to suppress my anger?”
“If he doesn’t want to say it, even if you ask him, he will still bear a grudge under my pressure. As a superior, he had to know how to use people and not keep staring at small secrets. Moreover, his Zhang family had been passed down for three generations. In addition to what had happened these days, he had used countless methods to defeat the mastermind behind the scenes. He had long left his mark on him and could only follow him until the end.”
“This servant understands.”
A bright light flashed in the depths of the crown prince’s eyes. He thought to himself, What realm are you at?
He left the Eastern Palace.
Zhang Ronghua was silent. Just now in the Xuanhe Palace Hall, Qing ‘er used the pupil secret technique to peek at him and was discovered by him. Was this what the Crown Prince wanted? Or did she make the decision on her own?
Without his permission, would Qing ‘er dare to do so?
His heart was heavy. It seemed like he couldn’t hide it for long!
Zheng Fugui was still immersed in the joy of being promoted. He noticed that his cousin’s expression was solemn. He scratched his head and looked puzzled. “The matter has been resolved. Why are you still not happy?
Zhang Ronghua glanced at him. Fools have their own luck. He shook his head and walked home without saying anything.
Back at the residence.
After washing up, he sat on the bed and took out the heaven-grade pill. The huge medicinal strength turned into a surging torrent that flowed through his body and was refined by the Black Yellow Heaven Opening Art.
Boom!
The bottleneck was broken, and he made another breakthrough, raising to the seventh level of the Heaven Tier.
It wasn’t over yet. He changed to the Great Dao Righteous Song and continued to cultivate. His soul power had also reached a critical point, and it took him some time to advance to the late stage of the Heaven Rank.
Opening his eyes, he took out four Confucian manuscripts and flipped them open.
It recorded the battle experience and usage of Righteousness Qi in great detail. After reading it, Zhang Ronghua’s understanding of Righteousness Qi reached a new level.
Thump! Thump!
There was a knock on the door, and Zheng Fugui’s voice came from outside.””Cousin, I’ve broken through. Come out quickly!”
He got off the bed and opened the door.
With an excited expression and a smug look, he said impatiently,”Do you dare to spar?”
Zhang Ronghua laughed. Who gave him the courage to challenge him to a Zongshi realm level two?
“I’ll wait for you in the courtyard!”
He didn’t even give her a chance to refuse and ran out..
