Chapter 3: The Princess's Retreat, Improvised Entrustment
"Father, is there any urgency to let your sons come early in the morning?"
In a secret room in the palace, Emperor Yun Dingtian looked at Yun Lishuang who came in a hurry, and his frowning brows finally stretched a little.
"Lishuang, you just promoted to the seventh level of the Jade Pu Realm last month, can the power of the thunder flame in your body be weakened?"
Yun Lishuang shook her head and said, "It has not been weakened, every time the realm breaks through, that thunder flame power will invade wantonly in Erchen's body, and if you are not careful, it will backfire on yourself." ”
Yun Dingtian was a little helpless, and he couldn't do anything about Yun Lishuang's pain.
"Lishuang, if you are given three years, are you sure that you will be promoted to the Taixuan Realm?"
Hearing this, Yun Lishuang was a little stunned, if she didn't get the power of Lei Yan in her body, let alone three years, at most two years, she would be able to be promoted to the Tai Void Realm, but she had already said that the power of Lei Yan had not been weakened, and Yun Dingtian still wanted her to be promoted to the Tai Void Realm within three years?
"Father, what happened?" Yun Lishuang wondered.
Yun Dingtian shook his head and flipped his palm open, slightly urging the spiritual power.
A black imprint glowed in the palm of the clouds, and its strange shape gave people a heavy sense of oppression.
"It's ...... The Black Hell Revenant Curse? Yun Lishuang exclaimed.
Yun Dingtian sighed and said: "A year ago, I personally led a large army to conquer the Great Chu Dynasty, and when I triumphed, I was attacked by the Emperor Taishang of the Chu Dynasty. ”
"For a year, I have tried all kinds of methods to make this spell annihilated."
"Moreover, because of the existence of this Black Hell Revenant Curse, not only will my cultivation not increase, but will continue to regress!"
Yun Lishuang was shocked, it turned out that his father, who had the cultivation of the Divine Wheel Realm, still had such suffering!
"However, Father, since you can't remove this Black Prison Revenant Curse with your cultivation in the Divine Wheel Realm, even if your son is promoted to the Taixuan Realm, if you want to come, you won't be able to help much!" Yun Lishuang said helplessly.
"Now, I don't expect to remove this mark for a long time, I want you to be promoted to the Tai Void Realm for other things."
"Right now, the five elders of the cabinet are quite dissatisfied with me, and I can still rely on the cultivation of the Divine Wheel Realm to suppress it for the time being."
"But I have a hunch that I can hold on for three years at most, and after three years, my cultivation will fall to the realm of Tai Void!"
"At that time, if the cabinet is aware of it, it will definitely fully support the champion Hou, which is extremely unfavorable to our royal family!"
After Genting Tian finished speaking, he was extremely stunned.
"So, my father wants me to be promoted to the Taixu Realm so that I can deal with the champion and preserve the dignity of the royal family?"
Genting Tian nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Erchen will start his retreat and cultivation from today, and after three years, he must be promoted to the Taixu Realm!"
"It's hard for you, I just got married to my sweetheart, and I'm going to ......," Genting Tian said with some guilt.
"It's okay, Erchen doesn't attach so much importance to marriage, I just don't want to marry the champion Hou."
Hearing this, Yun Dingtian was not surprised, he already knew Yun Lishuang's thoughts.
Yun Lishuang was born strong, only in his early twenties, he has the sevenfold realm of the Jade Pu Realm, if he hadn't been overshadowed by the champion Hou, the title of the first day of the Great Zhou should be attributed to Yun Lishuang.
And the person Yun Lishuang likes must be stronger than her, and will never be a waste who can't cultivate.
……
In the afternoon, Yun Lishuang returned to the courtyard.
"I'm back, when can I eat?"
When a cultivator reaches the Tianyang Realm, he can clear the five grains, and Jiang Ning, who is still in the Yuan Vein Realm, still has to rely on food to maintain his physical functions.
"One thing I want to tell you is that I have to go into retreat, and I won't be able to get out of it until about three years. In three years, if I get out, I will find a way to send you away, and then you and I will have nothing to do with each other."
"Three more years of retreat?" Jiang Ning couldn't react a little.
This is just a marriage, do you have to stay alone in the empty house?
Yun Lishuang's eyes lit up, "I have made up my mind about this matter, and no one can change it." ”
"Okay, you close yours, this empty room will be guarded by me!" Jiang Ning replied helplessly.
Hearing the word vacant, Yun Lishuang was slightly stunned, and said: "It's also my fault for putting you in such a dangerous place, in order to make up for it, I will give you a body protection mark, which can save your life in a critical moment." ”
"Protective sigils?" Jiang Ning frowned.
Before the words fell, the spiritual power around Yun Lishuang's body floated, and a mark instantly formed, condensing into Jiang Ning's eyebrows in an instant.
"Aren't you unable to cultivate, how can you ......?"
At the moment when the mark was condensed into Jiang Ning's eyebrows, Yun Lishuang seemed to feel a trace of spiritual power in Jiang Ning's body.
"This ...... What's the use of the Protective Seal? There was an extra mark in his body, and Jiang Ning was in a trance.
But now Yun Lishuang doesn't have time to explore more, "I've already said what I should say, stay in the palace all the time, don't go out, and if the cabinet comes to approach you, don't pay attention to it!" ”
The words fell, Yun Lishuang's figure dissipated, and disappeared in an instant.
"Well, what's it, what's the cabinet, huh, people?" Jiang Ning touched his eyebrows and wondered.
Not long after Yun Lishuang left, there was a shout outside the courtyard.
"Master Pony, are you in the courtyard?"
Horse Lord? Jiang Ning thought about it for a while, and felt that he should be calling him.
When I opened the courtyard door, I saw a girl carrying a delicate food box.
This girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing the clothes of a palace maid, with two pigtails on the shoulders, playful and cute.
"Look good......"
When the girl saw Jiang Ning's delicate face, she couldn't help but exclaim.
Jiang Ning was also used to this, "What are you doing?" ”
The girl hurriedly brought the food box over and said, "Master Ma, the slave's name is Ying'er, and she was ordered by the princess to come over and serve the Maye's diet and daily life." ”
"That's right, Ying'er, come in."
Smelling the aroma of the food in the food box, Jiang Ning was already a little impatient.
I took the meal and sat down under the pavilion in the courtyard.
Ying'er followed cautiously behind, and from time to time she moved her gaze to Jiang Ning's face.
"It's really good-looking."
"What do you say?"
"It's nothing, Master Horse, please eat!"
At Ying'er's age, she is naturally easily attracted to a beautiful man like Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was dizzy with hunger, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he began to eat by himself.
Suddenly, Jiang Ning remembered what Yun Lishuang had said before the retreat, and couldn't help but become curious.
"Ying'er, do you know why the princess wants to go into retreat?"
"Back to the horse master, the slave doesn't know."
"And do you know what's going on outside the palace lately?"
"This ...... The slave and maid didn't know. ”
Thinking about it carefully, Ying'er is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old palace maid, how can she know this.
"Do you know what a cabinet is?"
"Slaves and maids too...... Yes? Cabinet! This slave knows a little. Ying'er's expression changed slightly.
"Tell me about it."
Ying'er nodded and said, "The cabinet is the place where my grandfather of the Great Zhou built for the five meritorious ministers to live after the founding of the country, and the five worshippers are all great monks of the Divine Wheel Realm, known as the five elders of the cabinet. For hundreds of years, the five elders of the cabinet have worked hard for the Great Zhou, planned everything, and made great contributions. The status of the cabinet is also increasing day by day, and the current cabinet, although it is doing things for Da Zhou, but in some things, it can not even obey the will of the emperor and has extremely high power! ”
"Five Divine Wheel Realm!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but exclaim.
This is where the hole cards of the Great Zhou Dynasty look at the entire Tianyuan Continent!
Moreover, the cabinet can not obey the orders and the emperor's will, and I think this is also the reason why Yun Lishuang asked herself not to approach the cabinet.
However, Yun Lishuang also said that as long as you don't leave the palace, then it's safe.
No matter how powerful the five elders of the cabinet are, they won't kill people in the palace, right?
In this case, Jiang Ning only needs to slowly accumulate strength in the palace and wait for Yun Lishuang to come out.
"Okay, I'm done eating, if you have nothing to do, you can leave." Jiang Ning put away the food box.
"Yes, Master Horse, I'll come early tomorrow and bring you clothes." Ying'er said respectfully.
"Got it, go ahead." Jiang Ning waved his hand, and Ying'er left.
