Chapter 121 Li Yi
It is important to know the present when you know the times, and it is important to understand the world when you understand the situation.
Li Xuan and Wang Suyue both left Suliuyuan with heavy hearts.
They both first personally understood the complexity of the palace fight, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Especially Li Xuan, the court was even more mysterious to him, and he could only hear a few words in the rumors.
This was a place he couldn't even get in touch with.
But it was the center of interests of the entire Daxing Dynasty.
Even the fights in the harem were just a ripple in the vortex.
But as a cat in the harem, how could Li Xuan get in touch with the information in the court?
His curiosity was aroused, but he could do nothing about it.
This made him really itchy.
"It would be great if I could also go to court."
A joking idea came to Li Xuan's mind.
Then he thought of the impracticality of it, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
After leaving Suliu Garden, he walked around Caiyun Palace a few times with a bit of reluctance.
As a result, none of the concubines could be seen, as if they had tacitly hidden themselves.
But Li Xuan unexpectedly ran into a little prince who was practicing martial arts.
This little prince looked a few years younger than Ankang. He was kicking a wooden stake non-stop, his eyes were tearful, and his expression was full of grievance.
Beside him was a middle-aged eunuch with a serious expression supervising him. The little prince kept looking at the eunuch's face while practicing martial arts.
"Hey, isn't this the kid who brought the rabbit last time?"
Li Xuan had some impression of this little prince.
In the last animal training competition in the Imperial Garden, this little prince brought a rabbit to participate, and he was as lively as the rabbit.
The rabbit ran away, and the little prince happily chased after it, and ended up bumping into the poor little guy with the turtle on the same stage several times.
Li Xuan remembered that he was frightened to tears by the roar of the white lion, and then he was taken off the stage. He didn't expect to meet him here again.
Looking at this courtyard, his mother should be quite favored. It is a good environment in Caiyun Palace.
Li Xuan curiously put his hands in his pockets and leaned on the wall to watch for a while. The result was a little surprising.
Originally thought that he was just practicing basic skills, but this is clearly a set of exercises to strengthen the body.
Especially when the little prince was resting from practicing, a piece of information appeared in Li Xuan's mind at the right time.
[Powerful Vajra Leg: 0%]
"Ah?"
Li Xuan did not have the joy of secretly learning a new skill, and his face was full of surprise.
He went through the skills in his mind and found that this "Powerful Vajra Leg" was actually a physical exercise at the same level as the Copper Head and Iron Arm.
In other words, the little prince in front of him actually has the strength of a ninth-grade warrior like Li Xuan.
Li Xuan stood up suddenly, and said in his heart: "Impossible!"
"This little kid looks only seven or eight years old, how can he be on the same level as me?"
But seeing the resting little prince receiving a leg massage from the middle-aged eunuch, Li Xuan was too familiar with the method of stimulating the recovery of qi and blood.
"Is it me too lazy, or is he too fierce?"
Li Xuan felt a tremor in his pupils and began to doubt himself.
"I think I, Li Xuan, am gifted, and I practice diligently every day. I am confident that one day I will be able to wipe out the great way in the future..."
"But this little kid is so terrifying!"
The more Li Xuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He remembered this place and the appearance of the little prince, snorted coldly, and turned away.
"No more playing, go home and practice."
From that day on, the little black cat in the imperial garden who had a deep hatred for the black dragon statue returned again.
With a series of powerful "meow meow", the black dragon statue began a new round of destruction.
But only three days of rest obviously did not give the black dragon statue enough time to breathe.
Small stone particles gradually fell off its body.
...
A few days later, another piece of news that shocked the harem spread.
Concubine Sun went crazy.
Originally, it was not a big deal for a noble to go crazy, but this matter caused Empress Wu to personally inquire about it.
Empress Wu has been very low-key in recent years, and this time she took action very strongly.
She thoroughly investigated the truth of Concubine Sun's madness, and finally concluded that it was because Concubine Zhang was sarcastic and scolded her at every turn.
Therefore, Empress Wu summoned the concubines in the harem and punished Concubine Zhang in front of everyone to set an example.
This is not the end. It is said that in the end, Empress Wu even forced Concubine Zhang to slap herself in public, which frightened all the concubines and made them realize how domineering this harem master is.
In recent years, Empress Wu has been low-key, so the other four concubines are very powerful.
Among them, Concubine Zhang was the worst.
This incident made everyone understand that a concubine was only a concubine after all, and could not be compared with the queen.
The fact that Concubine Zhang was severely punished spread widely in the palace. After all, even cats like Li Xuan knew it clearly, not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs.
After this incident, some concubines who had been huddled together under the Four Concubines gradually became obedient and did not dare to get too close.
Especially those concubines who had gathered around Concubine Zhang before, all of them were scared away and did not dare to have much contact with Concubine Zhang, for fear of offending Empress Wu.
But after Empress Wu taught Concubine Zhang a lesson, she returned to Wuning Palace and began a secluded life.
But now no one dares to underestimate Empress Wu anymore.
…
On the other side.
There were still crisp slapping sounds coming from Qingshu Palace.
The Fourth Prince stood guard at the door, watching the terrified maids being brought in, and then the maids with swollen faces and unconscious faces being brought out one by one.
Especially the maids whose faces were somewhat similar to Empress Wu, were beaten even more miserably.
It was common to be disfigured and lose teeth.
After seeing so much, the Fourth Prince had long forgotten to sympathize.
This time, his mother lost.
And he lost miserably.
What made his mother even more angry was that Empress Wu didn't even mean to target him, she was just doing her job.
But even so, it was enough to make his mother suffer great humiliation.
The fourth prince could understand this feeling.
He attacked with all his strength, but couldn't resist the opponent's casual action.
That feeling of powerlessness would make him even uglier.
After a long time, the movement inside finally stopped.
The fourth prince was also called in.
"My son has seen my mother."
The fourth prince stared at the tip of his shoes, with no intention of looking up at all.
Then the fourth prince heard his mother's voice.
"Others are fine, even Jingyang Palace dares to climb over my head!"
Then there was the sound of hard knocks on the table.
The fourth prince reminded him at the right time: "Zhao Feng has been watching Jingyang Palace recently. I'm afraid it's not the right time to attack them."
"It's not us who did it. What can Zhao Feng do to us?"
The fourth prince heard the emotion in his mother's tone and stopped trying to persuade her. He nodded and prepared to leave.
At this time, Concubine Zhang suddenly said something to him again.
"Yier, don't let your mother down!"
Thank you all for your monthly ticket support.
