Chapter 0991: Title of Marquis

After being teleported to the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qin Chu and Shi Qingfei clasped their fists to Empress Wu and then left the palace.

This trip was a perfect one for Qin Chu. He had made contributions in the war arena and had established himself in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After resting in the mansion for two days, Qin Chu received a message from the inner palace attendant, asking him to attend the morning court tomorrow.

After thinking for a while, Qin Chu left the mansion and arrived at Yayuan, and then teleported to the bamboo garden of the palace.

Seeing Qin Chu, Huo Luo withdrew from the bamboo forest.

After Huo Luo left, Empress Wu pulled Qin Chu's arm and kicked him twice, "It's been two days since I came back, and you didn't know how to come!"

"I just took the time to come here." Qin Chu hugged Empress Wu.

"Humph! If I hadn't sent an attendant to notify you to attend the court meeting, would you have come?" Empress Wu glared at Qin Chu.

"I was planning to come here myself. Attending the court meeting is a public matter. It's not a bad thing for me to have just made contributions. I won't come to you, Xinrou, for this matter." Qin Chu said with a smile.

"It's really good news for you. I met Zhou Lie's father yesterday. The treatment for Zhou Lie is to depose his title and behead him! Their ancestors all know about this matter, and we can't treat it lightly. Besides, Zhou Lie has never been likable. In addition, you will have status and position in the future, and you will be given the title of Wu Hou. This is the intention of Zhou Lie's father. It will be officially announced tomorrow." Empress Wu said.

Seeing that Qin Chu didn't understand, Empress Wu explained to Qin Chu the concept of Wu Hou. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, high-end people are divided into two types: titles and official positions. Those who have made contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty will be given titles; officials who do well and do their best will also be given titles. Titles are greater than official positions.

"It's OK as long as it's useful. Let me tell you something, Xinrou. I have made contributions this time. Can you give me a place to practice in the Xu Ling Tower? I want to give Qing Fei a chance to impact the Great Sage." Qin Chu said to Empress Wu.

"Tomorrow, at the court meeting, after the announcement of your reward, you will refuse it and fight for a place for Concubine Qing. I will hesitate and agree, and then I will give you the reward that should be given to you." Empress Wu thought for a while and said.

"Haha!" Qin Chu smiled. It was a good communication with Empress Wu, and things were much easier to handle.

After being with Empress Wu for a while, Qin Chu left the palace.

After being teleported to Yayuan, Qin Chu walked on the street and found a teahouse to drink tea and relax.

While Qin Chu was drinking tea, Qi Qingqing, wearing a veil, stood beside Qin Chu and said, "Let's chat in the private room."

Seeing Qi Qingqing enter the private room, Qin Chu followed in.

"The Bai family fell!" Seeing Qin Chu enter the private room, Qi Qingqing went straight to the point.

"I know that because the Great Saint Bai Quan of the Bai family colluded with Zhou Lie and calculated the queen regardless of the overall situation, the matter was exposed." Qin Chu said.

"I was not in the Bai family at that time, and few people knew me, so I was spared." Qi Qingqing said.

"Leave this place of trouble and develop well." Qin Chu didn't want to have too much trouble with Qi Qingqing, of course, he didn't have any hatred. Qi Qingqing had sworn not to mention the past, and it was not a threat to him.

Qi Qingqing was silent, "I don't know how to go next."

"If you don't want to leave, you can live in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Be more stable and don't think about shortcuts." Seeing that Qi Qingqing had no intention of leaving, Qin Chu didn't say anything to let her leave.

After drinking two cups of tea, Qi Qingqing said that she planned to buy a yard in the Great Zhou Dynasty and stabilize it first. The affairs of the Bai family had nothing to do with her.

After Qi Qingqing left, Qin Chu came out of the teahouse and walked around the Extreme Pill Pavilion before returning to the mansion. He didn't tell Shi Qingfei about the title of marquis, mainly because he couldn't say that he had seen Empress Wu.

After resting for a night, Qin Chu took a beast cart to the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Qin Chu saw Wu Chengfeng who was also attending the court meeting.

"Wu Ming will be buried tomorrow." Wu Chengfeng said to Qin Chu.

"I'll go there tomorrow." Qin Chu nodded.

"I targeted you before, I'm so sorry!" Wu Chengfeng clasped his fists to Qin Chu. He had been told by Empress Wu that he must not be hostile to Qin Chu. Besides, Qin Chu avenged Wu Ming in the war arena, and he was grateful in his heart.

"A little conflict is nothing, it's all over." Qin Chu reached out and supported Wu Chengfeng's arm.

Then Qin Chu and Wu Chengfeng entered the palace hall.

There were many people in the palace hall, and some high-ranking members of the royal family had also arrived. Today was the first grand court meeting after the war arena, and there were many things to be solved.

Not long after, the queen came out from behind the screen next to the hall and sat on the dragon chair.

Everyone in the hall bowed to see her. Of course, those who were not of high status had to kneel down to see her. Qin Chu stood aside and no one cared.

The eunuchs in the inner court announced the first edict, which was the edict of Emperor Wu, which conferred a title on Empress Wu Xinrou and gave her the title of Empress Xuande.

Everyone paid respect to the Queen and congratulated her. Everyone also recognized this title. The Queen had a noble status, but she could still fight for the Great Zhou in the life and death arena.

After receiving the congratulations, Queen Wu Xinrou summarized the war arena and then sentenced Zhou Lie, deposing him from the title of Emperor and beheading him!

Many people did not expect this punishment because it was very severe. After all, Zhou Lie was the son of the previous emperor and the younger brother of the current emperor, but the edict had been issued, and it was a done deal.

After dealing with Zhou Lie's affairs, the Queen began to reward people according to their merits. Wu Ming, who died in the battle, was the first to be rewarded. Although he was gone, his wife and children were still there. In addition, Zhou Zhenhai and Zhou Yuanzheng, who had never fought in the battle, were also rewarded. Both of them drew the best lot. Although they did not fight on the ring, they were determined to fight to the death and had the concept of dedication. They deserved to be rewarded.

After the rewards for Zhou Zhenhai and Zhou Yuanzheng were announced, Queen Wu handed the eunuch an imperial edict to the eunuchs, announcing the rewards for Qin Chu. In addition to the rewards such as the top-grade spirit stones, the biggest reward was to be named a national marquis.

"Thank you, Queen. Actually, these are not important to Qin Chu. Qin Chu wants to ask for a round of training qualifications for his wife in the Void Spirit Tower." After hearing his reward, Qin Chu stood up and bowed.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and take the imperial edict." Zhou Yuanxing reminded Qin Chu.

Qin Chu did not move because he had discussed this with Queen Wu.

"Marquis Qin Wu loves his wife dearly, and I understand that. The next round of training quotas for the Void Spirit Tower has not yet begun. When the next round begins, I will fight for one for your wife, but you still have to accept the reward. This is the result of my communication with the Emperor Wu." Empress Wu said.

After receiving the imperial edict, Qin Chu retreated to the side of Zhou Yuanxing. He noticed Zhou Yuanzhen's cold eyes, but he thought it was funny. Why would a man who couldn't even take care of his wife still glare at him?
