“What? Make the gray-robed eunuch of the library as the Nine Thousand Year-Old and temporarily cancel Changning’s Marriage?”
A few important officials stood rooted to the ground. Zhou Shimin had specially called them into the Imperial study to announce such a ridiculous matter?
Could it be that the Emperor had suffered from the side effects of being poisoned? Otherwise, he would not have given such an order.
They would definitely not agree.
“Back then, the nine thousand years old Wei Zhengchun did a great service for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, the Princess marriage is a matter of the royal family’s face. The Emperor needs to consider this carefully.” Fang Yuanqing hurriedly went forward to dissuade him.
If this were to spread, wouldn’t the Great Zhou Dynasty become a laughing stock?
“The prime minister is right. His Majesty, this matter can not be trifled with.”
“That’s right. Princess Changning is already come of age. She should find a Prince Consort.”
There were a few officials waiting to introduce their sons to Princess Changning, and at the same time, get a status as a relative of the Emperor.
Now that Zhou Shiming wanted to block the road, how could they agree?
Furthermore, the nine thousand years old Wei Zhengchun was a person who had once controlled the world. What ability did the young eunuch of the library have?
They had made up their minds. No matter what the Emperor said, they could not agree.
Zhou Shiming had originally wanted to follow Empress Qin Lihua’s wishes and find a good husband to marry Princess Changning out.
But plans could not keep up with the rapid changes. Princess Changning was about to break through to become a saint cultivator.
He definitely could not send the saint cultivator out.
“I know all of your plans, but Ning’er has already become a half-step saint cultivator, so the marriage is temporarily canceled.”
He Chuan had already left, and he stayed in the library every day, so very few people had seen him.
As the Emperor, Zhou Shimin naturally had to consider the country.
Princess Changning was a half-step saint cultivator?
The ministers were even more surprised than Zhou Shimin.
The sudden appearance of nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhengchun, they could still accept it.
This news was really hard for everyone to digest, but Zhou Shimin definitely would not lie to them on such a matter.
Fang Yuanqing suddenly had an idea, combining it with the previous rebellion of the eight vassal kings.
Could it be that the gray-robed eunuch in the library was the mysterious expert from back then?
Otherwise, why would Zhou Shiming give him the title of nine thousand years old?
As for why Princess Changning could become a half-step saint cultivator, he owed it to the countless treasures in the Royal Palace Treasury, and Princess Changning’s high talent.
Because he had become a eunuch, Qin Lihua felt that it was not very good to spread the news, so he kept it a secret.
In addition, Princess Changning and He Chuan kept their mouths shut, so not many people knew.
“Since His Majesty has already made a decision, we have no objections,” Fang Yuanqing said.
Only then did the other officials react. They hurriedly said, “His Majesty is wise,” While secretly cursing Fang Yuanqing for being an old fox.
…
He Chuan did not care about the reward of the nine thousand years old title, because Zhou Shimin was a very good person. He directly said that he was the new nine thousand years old and did not mention his name. Other than Empress Qin Lihua, Crown Prince Cheng’an, Princess Changning, and a few other important officials, no one else knew.
Cai Lian held a golden brocade robe embroidered with lotus flowers and Koi.
She was still a little confused. This eunuch was too amazing. He actually became the Emperor’s nine thousand years old.
He Chuan lay in the wooden barrel, thinking about the route he should take.
A small hand reached out to his back and gently helped him rub his back.
Compared to Jiang Wenyue and Su Wan, Cai Lian’s thoughts were very simple. She had no other thoughts in her mind.
The key point was that although He Chuan was handsome, he was still an incomplete person. She could not feel anything in her heart.
“Lian’er, how’s your cultivation going recently?” He Chuan asked with his eyes closed.
“I still don’t understand some parts of it, but I can see the power of the Sunflower Bible. I can’t repay Eucnuch for your kindness.” Cai Lian’s had tears in her eyes.
Many people envied her for being able to stay by He Chuan’s side.
Even the palace maids in yellow robes in the past were all flattering Cai Lian when they met her.
She didn’t even dare to speak loudly. Cailan didn’t use her power to bully others and let bygones be bygones.
This was also what He Chuan liked about her. She was kind-hearted and would take good care of injured small animals.
“Why are you crying for? People who practice martial arts must have a firm mind! If some small things can move you. Once you encounter danger, you will be scared out of your wits,” He Chuan said.
Cai Lian was good in all aspects, but her heart was a little soft. She would definitely be at a disadvantage if she walked the martial arts world.
In the future, she had to be taught well and understand the evil of the human heart.
Cai Lian hurriedly wiped her tears and continued to help He Chuan take a bath. Her small hand slid down her chest.
“This!”
As a palace maid, she naturally knew what it signified. The “Little Eunuch He” in front of her was actually fake.
If this news were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge wave.
“There are some things that can be changed on the path of martial arts. There’s no need to make a fuss.” With He Chuan’s current strength, he did not fear any danger at all.
Even if this matter were to spread, Zhou Shiming would only think of ways to suppress it. He might even confer him the title of Duke and would not pursue any responsibility.
“Lian’er doesn’t know anything. Lian’er only knows that Little Eunuch He is my benefactor. You truly treat me well.” Cai Lian’s pretty face was flushed red as she continued to help He Chuan wash his body.
“You’re a little smart.” He Chuan smiled slightly.
After taking a shower, under Cai Lian’s service, He Chuan wore a golden brocade robe and looked completely new.
His facial features were delicate and pretty. His head of black and thick hair was unbound and draped behind his back. It was smooth and soft like top-quality silk.
Under the delicate and feminine brow, a pair of soul-stirring deep eyes were filled with affection. If one was not careful, one would fall for it. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, adding to his flirtatious charm.
“Little Eunuch He is really beautiful,” Cai Lian praised sincerely.
…
Today was Changning’s breakthrough day.
Whether it was her state of mind or her strength, she could no longer suppress it.
If she did not break through, it would not be of any benefit to her.
He Chuan had set up the array. After all, breaking through to become a saint cultivator was very dangerous, so he had to be fully prepared.
With him personally overseeing it, she would be more confident.
He was not stingy with the pills for the breakthrough. He took them all out for Princess Changning to use.
Emperor Zhou Shiming, Empress Qin Lihua, and Crown Prince Cheng’an were all waiting anxiously outside.
Cai Lian was even more careful in serving them.
She had never seen so many important figures in her life.
Although she followed He Chuan, she was still inferior in her bones. She was unable to achieve equality in her heart.
“Ning’er should succeed, right?” Qin Lihua held Zhou Shiming’s hand and said worriedly.
“The nine thousand years old is a saint cultivator. There shouldn’t be any accidents with him as a protector.” Zhou Shiming was not confident.
However, as an Emperor, he could not reveal a worried expression.
Crown Prince Cheng’an clenched his fists nervously. If Princess Changning succeeded in breaking through, he would have the most benefits.
The two were Dragon and Phoenix Twins of the same mother, and they were the closest to each other. If something happened, Changning would definitely not sit idly by.
In the secret room where the array was set up, Princess Changning sat cross-legged and swallowed the pill with a determined gaze.
Beside her, He Chuan activated his Divine Eye and observed Princess Changning’s situation. If anything went wrong, he would immediately make a move.
It was obviously unnecessary to worry. With all the preparations, the breakthrough went exceptionally smoothly.
