This is not a secret in the palace, the biological mother of the third prince Duan Chen: Concubine Yun, is Duan Yi's second concubine, because she is weak and sickly, her body is even more overwhelmed in the few years after giving birth to Duan Chen, and she can only rely on the panacea to continue her life.

By the time Duan Chen became an adult, Concubine Yun's body had reached a critical situation, and she could no longer support her dilapidated body with those low-grade pills.

At that time, Duan Yi was preoccupied every day, and he couldn't care about state affairs at all.

Seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, Xiang Boming, the king of weapons who was known as the patron saint of Xize at that time, cheekily went to Zhongzhou Academy, wanting to ask for a life-sustaining elixir for Concubine Yun from there.

If it is an ordinary pill, it is okay, but knowing Concubine Yun's physical condition, the former elders told Xiang Boming that at least the Eighth Rank Yang Hui Yuan Pill can be used to help Concubine Yun continue her life for a few more years, and if you want to be completely cured, you need to use the Ninth Rank Saint Yuan Dan to go to school

The Nine Pins Pill can already be regarded as a divine pill, Mo Jiupin, and even the Eight Pins Pill are extremely precious.

Hundreds of years ago, Xiang Boming was just a miscellaneous disciple in Zhongzhou Academy, even if he has become a seventh-grade refiner now, if he wants to get this eight-rank elixir, he must pay a corresponding price, and this price is absolutely difficult for Xi Ze Guolai, and it cannot be completed at all.

In this way, Xiang Boming took out all the utensils on his body and exchanged them for only one seven-grade pill: Fengshen Pill.

The Sealing Divine Pill is not used to treat the pill, its function is to temporarily seal the souls of martial artists below the Martial Emperor.

This is an eight-rank alchemist comprehended in a special exercise of the demon clan, that kind of exercise is very magical, it can seal the soul together with the physical body, and in the sealed state, it can not be bound by the rules of time, allowing itself to enter a state of suspended animation.

In this state, Shouyuan will not be lost, it is a forcible continuation of life, as long as the practitioner himself does not want to wake up, he can continue to live in this state, the effect is quite reversed.

It seems that although this kind of exercise is quite magical, it also has a drawback, that is, every time the caster wakes up, the longevity consumed is ten times or even dozens of times that of the normal consumption.

Therefore, this kind of exercise is only for those strong people who are about to run out of life but can't find the life-sustaining elixir, and they will perform this kind of exercise as a last resort, and then let their juniors find the life-sustaining elixir for them, and then wake up after finding it.

If you don't find the life-sustaining elixir and you interrupt the exercise and wake up, you may die in an instant due to the exhaustion of your lifespan.

This Divine Pill has roughly the same effect as this exercise, but it has more restrictions than the latter.

First of all, it can't infinitely seal the longevity of the swallower, the effect of the medicine is only ten years at most, and before the effect of the medicine ends, if you can't find a more advanced pill for the swallower, once the effect is over, the swallower will die instantly.

Xiang Boming returned to Xize with this elixir, and after comparing the situation with Duan Yiming, after some careful consideration, Duan Yi decided to give Concubine Yun this elixir.

Although it is only ten years, there will be miracles in these ten years.

However, Concubine Yun's condition can only be improved with the Eight Pins Pill, and the Eight-Pin Pill is not a cabbage on the side of the road, and its medicinal effect can have a certain effect on the strong people of Emperor Wu, each of which is a priceless treasure.

Therefore, they had no choice but to abandon this plan, and the cost was so great that they almost had to sell half of Nishizawa in exchange for one, but this was absolutely undesirable for a king.

In the past ten years, Duan Yi has spent every time in torment, he didn't dare to tell his third son Duan Chen about Concubine Yun's situation, but the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, and Duan Chen still knew about it.

Until now, Duan Yi still clearly remembers what the third son standing in front of him looked like at that time.

Calm, very calm!

Duan Chen was very sensible at that time, and he didn't blame Duan Yi, he only said one sentence.

"Please give me my eldest brother's qualification to go to Zhongzhou Academy next year!"

Father and son are connected, Duan Yi certainly understands what his son thinks.

Duan Chen wanted to participate in the assessment of Zhongzhou Academy by himself and become an official disciple of the academy, so it was possible for him to use his identity to ask the seniors of Zhongzhou Academy to help him.

Xiang Boming, the king of weapons, and Zhao Hongtu, the king of Dan, can only be miscellaneous disciples with such a high endowment, and if they want to get the key training of the academy, they must at least become disciples of the outer court

But it may be okay to have this method, just to participate in the assessment qualifications of Zhongzhou College, there is only one place for Xi Zexuan at a time, Duan Chen's endowment is slightly worse than Duan Zexuan's, let him participate in the assessment, it is unlikely to succeed, it is better to let Duan Zexuan go to compare insurance.

Anyway, as long as Duan Zexuan can become a disciple of the outer courtyard of Zhongzhou Academy, the result will be the same.

Calling the two sons to his side at the same time, and following them their own thoughts, Duan Zexuan promised Duan Chen that he would do his best, Duan Chen didn't have much more, he could only choose to believe in his eldest brother.

Finally came to participate in the exam, in order not to add pressure to Duan Zexuan, Duan Chen just said something to Duan Zexuan to take care of.

In those days, Duan Chen stayed by his mother's side, always hoping that his eldest brother could bring him good news.

It backfired, and only a few days later, a thunderbolt hit him on the head, and Duan Zexuan failed to pass the assessment.

When he understood the situation, Duan Chen did not blame the eldest brother, knowing that he did his best.

In ten years, according to the enrollment time of Zhongzhou College, there is only one chance left, and this time Duan Chen does not want to pin his hopes on others.

In the next four years, he was like a crazy demon, cultivating desperately, and he worked hard for three points more than Duan Zexuan.

insisted until the second enrollment assessment of Zhongzhou College, and finally waited for this time, he was even ready to fight for his life, as long as he went to Zhongzhou to participate in the assessment this time, even if he lost his life, he would have to complete it.

But at that time, his father Duan Yi made a decision that made him unbelievable, and this second assessment actually let his eldest brother Duan Zexuan go.

In the past four years, Duan Yi has seen everything in his eyes, and naturally knows Duan Chen's plans, how can he bear to watch his son die in vain, and Duan Zexuan's overall strength has improved a lot after these four years of hard work, and he is a few points stronger than Duan Chen, plus he has participated in an assessment, he is more familiar with the environment there than Duan Chen, and then he will go, and hope is greater.

Seeing that his younger brother was depressed, Duan Zexuan couldn't bear it, and wanted to ask his father to give up the quota to his younger brother, but he was refused.

Duan Yi insisted on letting him go, he had to go all out than last time, knowing the importance of this matter to his younger brother, he was also ready desperately.

When he left this time, Duan Zexuan didn't see Duan Chen come out to see him off.

grabbed the opportunity to drench his brother twice in a row, and wasted it once, and his younger brother must have been very disappointed in him, the eldest brother.

In this way, Duan Zexuan embarked on the second trip to Zhongzhou with the guilt of his younger brother. The second time he participated in the assessment, because the pressure in his heart was too great, Duan Zexuan was even more nervous than the first time, and the assessment results were naturally unsatisfactory, so he was eliminated in the first round.

In fact, he had already worked very hard, but he was to blame that the assessment of Zhongzhou Academy was too difficult, and young disciples like them who came out of the middle forces couldn't compete with those top arrogant people at all.

Knowing that the eldest brother had failed again, Duan Chen knelt in front of Concubine Yun's couch for seven years.

When he walked out of the room again, he was only twenty-four years old and his hair turned gray overnight, and his personality had become extremely perverse, as if he were a different person.

He didn't question why Duan Zexuan failed.

He didn't ask Duan Yi what his mother should do in the future.

These things don't seem to have anything to do with him, everyone who knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he will drill wherever Xi Ze has fun, even more so than Duan Qianrou now.

In the palace with strict rules, Duan Chen was like a ruffian hooligan, looking out of place.

In the past, Duan Chen's Fu was only a little lower than Duan Zexuan, even if he couldn't enter Zhongzhou Academy, his future martial arts path was unlimited.

Duan Chen became like this, which everyone didn't want to see, especially King Duan Yi was particularly sad, regretting that he didn't give Duan Chen a chance in the first place.

Duan Zexuan also approached Duan Chen and wanted to apologize to him in person.

But when the two met, Duan Chen didn't say a word about these things, and whenever Duan Zexuan talked about the cost of the exam, Duan Chen either remained silent or interrupted.

Asked if he hated himself as a big brother, he asked rhetorically, "Why should I hate you?"

On the surface, he seemed unconcerned, but everyone felt that he was starting to become distant from his surroundings.

Even later, when Duan Yi almost emptied most of Xize's treasury and exchanged it for a Divine Pill from Zhongzhou Academy, Duan Chen only smiled and didn't say anything more.

Not long after, the King of Instruments detected Duan Qianrou's Fuyuan super prince Duan Zexuan, who was expected to pass the assessment of Zhongzhou Academy.

Duan Qianrou's performance made Duan Yi see hope again, the hope of saving Concubine Yun.

That day, he finally summoned Duan Chen to the palace, and when he mentioned this matter, Duan Chen almost used a warning tone for him: "You must not let my sister know about this! She is not a tool for you to use!"

Because when Concubine Yun first took the Fengshen Pill, Duan Qianrou was still in her infancy, and all the palace maids and guards in the palace did not dare to mention Concubine Yun's matter because of Duan Chen's situation, so Duan Qianrou didn't know the reason for this until now.

Until now, Duan Yi still clearly remembers how decisive Duan Chen's expression was that day.

Since then, Duan Chen has rarely been seen in the palace, and within a year, he will stay in the palace for more than a dozen hours at most.

In the past ten years, I was also worried that my mother was lonely, and I just wanted to accompany her.

Coincidentally, every time he came back, he could meet Duan Qianrou.

This oldest Wang Mei may be the only person who can make him serious except for Concubine Yun.

Duan Qianrou also likes this brother Wang very much, I remember that when she was just sensible, she once saw a young man with white hair in the palace, and she was quite curious that she had been following behind the young man.

When the young man found her, he deliberately asked her why she followed him with a straight face.

Seeing his expression, Duan Qianrou was almost frightened and cried, and said timidly: "Because Qianrou thinks that you are very good-looking, Brother Sanwang!"

Duan Chen was a little surprised in his heart, he had seen this Qianrou less than ten times in total, or when she was very young, he didn't expect her to recognize herself.

Looking at this innocent girl in front of him, in this cold palace, Duan Chen felt as if he had encountered a special warmth in his heart.

From that time on, there was one more person who could have allowed him to stay in the palace for a few more days.

If you want these Duan Qianrou and her own royal brothers and sisters, who has the best relationship, it must be the third prince Duan Chen.

Whether it was Duan Chen bringing her some strange playthings outside every time, or being dragged by Duan Chen to trick Master Yan after she didn't want to be criticized by Master Yan for alchemy, and then heard Master Yan jump in anger...... That's what she wants.

"Silly Qianrou, are you happy with the third brother?" This is what Duan Chen often asks Duan Qianrou.

Duan Qianrou's answer was the same every time, it was nothing more than the word "happy", and then took Duan Chen's hand and said coquettishly: "Can the third prince brother always be by Qianrou's side in the future, because only when she is with the third prince brother, Qianrou is the happiest!"

Then, Duan Chen would gently pinch her face and scold with a smile: "I don't have that much time to stay by your side......" Just when Duan Qianrou was a little disappointed, Duan Chen continued: "Because I still have to go outside to find fun things to bring back to my stupid Qianrou to play!"

Although other royal brothers and sisters are very fond of her, she still likes the third royal brother who often accuses her of being clumsy.

If Duan Chen hadn't returned to the palace today, how could she have looked for Duan Zexuan to accompany her out, compared to the strict eldest brother Duan Zexuan, of course, it was not as happy as having fun with the three royal brothers who were not afraid of the ground.

It's just that just now she seems to have betrayed the three royal brothers, if the eldest brother really wants to question the three royal brothers, with the temper of the three royal brothers, the two will not have to fight!

No, no, no, you must not let the eldest brother go to the trouble of the third royal brother!

Duan Qianrou's eyes kept spinning, and her mind was quickly thinking of how to deal with it.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she stepped forward and hugged Duan Zexuan's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you guessed wrong, in fact, Grandpa Pei has always taken me out to play, and it has nothing to do with Brother Sanwang!"

Duan Zexuan had long known the relationship between his sister and the third brother, and seeing that she heard that she was going to find trouble with the third brother, the nervousness revealed in her eyes at this moment, how could she not guess what she was thinking.

"Don't lie to me, Pei Lao has been with you all the year round, where do you have time to go outside to search for those strange things. Duan Zexuan lightly tapped the girl's forehead with a jade fan and said with a smile.

Duan Qianrou knew that her eldest brother was extremely smart, and ordinary tricks couldn't fool him at all, so she had no choice but to use her trick that she had been in the palace for many years and tried and tested......
