There are many legends and versions of this continent north of the Shoreless Sea.

But no matter which version it is, it is inseparable from the word "spiritual power".

But everyone talks about spiritual power, but this continent really has nothing to do with spiritual power now.

In other words, the so-called spiritual power has disappeared from this continent for nearly five hundred years.

In today's northern continent, people cultivate and reproduce and live an ordinary life.

But according to legend, 500 years ago, there was spiritual power in this world. People practice spiritual power and build a foundation, and those who succeed will live a long life of 100 years and a long lifespan of 1,000 years.

It was the most glorious era of this continent, and it was also the most ambitious era of mankind.

Everyone wants to become an immortal, and everyone wants to use spiritual power to have a stronger ability, a more sufficient longevity, a higher status, and more right to speak.

So they have been cultivating their spirits day and night, plundering the resources of heaven and earth all the time, and the thousand-year-old life can no longer satisfy them, they still want to live for 10,000 years, and want to live with heaven and earth.

There were frequent wars between countries, and the spiritual cultivation sects fought endlessly, and finally after a great war, the spiritual power of heaven and earth completely disappeared, and overnight, the people on this continent changed their way of life for thousands of years.

There are no more spiritual sects, no more human monks, people pick up swords like mortals and divide the countries.

Finally, the world was settled, but it was found that the originally sufficient longevity had also ceased to exist with the disappearance of spiritual power, and even became less.

The life span is not more than a child, and everyone will not live to be sixty years old. No matter how healthy he is, he will die of exhaustion on the day he reaches the age of 60. Not to mention those who have pre-existing diseases, and their life expectancy is even shorter.

People began to panic and tried everything they could to break the deadlock. It's a pity that hundreds of years have passed, and nothing has been found.

Gradually, everyone got used to it, all hope was dashed, they stopped rebelling, began to compromise with the laws of nature, and began to live in peace and stability as ordinary people.

All this is something that everyone in Northern Qi knows, so it doesn't matter to the original owner. It was precisely because she felt that it didn't matter, so when Ye Wenyan borrowed the corpse to resurrect her soul, the memories of this incident did not immediately flood into her mind.

Now that I think about it, I understand why Shi Liyuan would say that she and him are the only ones who can use magic in this world. It turns out that the spiritual power has long been deprived, and the so-called magic is already a legendary thing.

"Fourth Miss?" Yun Chen called her, "What is the fourth miss thinking?" ”

She shook her head slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that I think of my grandfather and father, they are still some years away from their sixty years old!" ”

Yun Chen's voice lowered again, "The old general of the night is fifty-three, and the general of the night is thirty-six, isn't there still some years." ”

While speaking, the group had already arrived at the gate of the Chengguang Palace.

This Chengguang hall is usually used for the early dynasty, and now the ministers wearing filial piety belts and white hats are discussing here, discussing which prince should inherit the throne.

Although some people wiped their eyes from time to time to express their sadness, as soon as the prince succeeded to the throne, they immediately joined the debate and did not give in to each other.

Wu Wei sighed, and said helplessly: "For these adults, if the emperor goes, he goes, and the crying spirit is just a show, and what they really care about is who the next new monarch is." As for those who have died, it seems less important. ”

Behind him, Ye Jingsheng strode forward and snorted, "All the officials in Beijing are here, but General Ben is missing." ”

Finally, someone glanced over here, and just saw Ye Jingsheng, and asked: "Yo, isn't this the second master of the Ye family, why are you here?" ”

Ye Jingsheng was even more angry, "Why can't I come?" I am also an official of the third grade, and I am a military general! ”

"Really?" The man thought for a moment, "Oh, look, I almost forgot about it. But don't blame us, after all, you, a general, don't go to the battlefield and don't fight, and you're really the first in our Northern Qi Dynasty, and it's normal that you can't think of it. ”

"You ......" Ye Jingsheng felt very faceless, and wanted to reason with this person, but now is really not the time, and it is really not the place, so he has to endure this breath first.

But he had just endured it, and someone on the side was looking for him to be unlucky, and someone asked, "General Yeer, how is Ling Yan?" Can the wound on the face be healed? My wife is familiar with a sister-in-law temple outside the city, if I don't give you a line, it is better to become a monk than to wipe your neck. ”

The night scene was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and he was about to faint, but at this time, someone finally changed the subject, and I don't know who said: "Isn't that Miss Night Four?" How did she get to the Chengguang Palace? Why is Miss Night Four's face so white? There's no blood at all, and I'm looking at it in the middle of the night! ”

"Who's over there? It seems to be Lord Yun of Qin Tianjian, how can he stand with Miss Night Fourth? Lord Yun has always been by the emperor's side, and now that the country is in mourning, I don't know if the emperor can show his face, I haven't seen the emperor for nearly ten years. ”

There was a lot of chaos in the hall, and everything was said. Ye Wenyan stood where she was, listening, and the conversation quickly shifted from her back to the place where the prince succeeded.

After all, compared to which prince should succeed to the throne, it is really not worth mentioning that she is a little girl who comes to Chengguang Palace.

Ye Jingsheng also joined the discussion, he was from the faction of the Six Princes, so he naturally stood with those who defended the Six Princes.

You must know that their group was originally very powerful, because the six princes were concubines, and among all the princes, he was the one who was most likely to become the next monarch.

It's a pity that this time is different from the past, in the evening, the accident in front of the Su Wangfu was seen by too many people, although the Su Wangfu had cleared everyone away at the first time, but there were still many people who saw the broken man's lifeline in their eyes.

So at this moment, the most advantageous one has become the least advantageous, and the reason why they are still gathered together is because someone said that no matter whether there is hope for the Sixth Highness or not, at least the queen mother is still there. And no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, the queen mother will be the queen mother, so we must not have different intentions at this juncture, otherwise the queen mother is afraid that it will be difficult to explain.

It's really hard to explain, everyone knows that Queen Li is a very scheming queen, since the first queen died in childbirth twenty years ago, the then seventeen-year-old Li jumped from a mere concubine to a queen, which really shocked many people.

She hadn't given birth to six princes that year, and a concubine without a prince could succeed to the throne, which shows that in addition to being extremely beautiful, the Li family's means are also extraordinary.

There was a commotion in the main hall, and from time to time there were people fighting over the choice of the heir to the throne.

What finally stopped the noise was a eunuch shouting in a high voice: "The queen has arrived!" ”

The hall fell silent immediately.

But some people still whispered: "Is it time to call the Queen Mother at this time?" ”

Empress Li Xiaohan, Chinese New Year's Eve, is the biological mother of the sixth prince Quan Qinglu.

Ye Wenyan knelt down with everyone and glanced at Queen Li from a distance, but she didn't want to, just one glance, and directly met the cold gaze that Queen Li threw at her.

If gaze can kill, I'm afraid it's Queen Li like this now, right?

She touched her nose and looked at her coldly, although she was separated by a heavy crowd, she could still see that Queen Li's hands were trembling uncontrollably. If it weren't for the fact that there was a big palace maid on the side who kept pressing her, I was afraid that those hands would immediately reach over and strangle her to death.

It's no wonder that this queen is in a hurry, the emperor died, her son succeeded to the throne, and she has been planning for so many years, and her dream is about to come true. As a result, at such a critical moment, her son actually withdrew from the competition stage forever in this way, and everyone would be crazy.

But who is to blame for this?

Ye Wenyan tilted his head again, although the person was kneeling, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that he was saluting the queen.

Empress Li's teeth were almost crushed, and the palace maid beside her, Bao Toad, grabbed her arm tightly, and her voice squeezed out from between her teeth: "Niangniang must hold back, His Royal Highness the Sixth Special sent someone to tell us, don't act rashly, otherwise none of us will survive." ”

"Then it's better not to live!" Queen Li was also ruthless, "For twenty years, the mourning family became a queen at the age of seventeen, and gave birth to Lu'er at the age of nineteen, and I have been planning for today for half my life." Seeing that the big thing has been accomplished, but it is all destroyed in the hands of a girl, how can you be willing to call the mourning family? It's better not to live, I'll kill her, and then let the emperor kill me! ”

Having said this, his eyes unabashedly looked at Ye Wenyan's waist. It's a pity that there are too many people in the way, and she really can't see anything clearly. So he whispered to Bao Toad: "Look at whether the bell is still there, didn't Lu'er say that she has a bell hanging on her waist, exactly the same as the one used by Emperor Zun?" ”

Bao Chan stood at a good angle, his eyes were also sharp, he looked at it for a while, and whispered: "The bell is gone." ”

"Gone?" Empress Li took a few steps forward, and Her Royal Highness and ministers looked up at her one after another.

Bao Chan pulled her again, "Niangniang, don't be calm, just because you're not there doesn't mean you're not there, maybe she's just going to be somewhere else." Niangniang, even if His Royal Highness the Sixth has no hope, our days can't be over. She leaned into Queen Li's ear, and her voice was softer, "Didn't the people from King Su's Mansion say that Miss Red Makeup is pregnant, so we have to plan for Xiao Shizi." Not to mention the ......"

She didn't say any more, because Empress Li gave her a fierce look and stopped her.

The people kneeling in His Highness couldn't hear clearly what the master and the palace maid were saying, but Ye Wenyan could read the lips of the two.

In this way, it seems that she guessed correctly, the reason why there was such a big movement at the gate of King Su's mansion, and no one treated her well, the reason for the problem was the bell that Shi Liyuan gave her.

She approached Yun Chen and whispered, "It seems that Shi Liyuan's deterrent power is still quite strong. ”

Yun Chen didn't know why she came up with such a sentence, but it was a fact that the emperor had a strong deterrent power, so he hurriedly said: "The fourth lady is extremely right. ”

The courtiers had already begun to challenge Empress Li about the succession of the prince, and when someone proposed the eldest prince, he was immediately opposed: "Aren't you making trouble? The eldest prince is already forty years old, how many years can he still be the emperor? ”

There were also proposals for the Three Princes, which were also opposed.

Anyway, no matter which one you mention, there will always be opponents who come out to obstruct it.

Just as the people were arguing about this, they suddenly heard a voice from above the main hall pouring into their ears like a top-

"The new monarch is young, and the seventh prince Quan Qingcheng is chosen to succeed the emperor!"

Everyone was shocked!

The voice is...... Emperor?
