Chapter 0921 Meeting Empress Wu
With Empress Wu's token, Qin Chu was able to enter the inner courtyard of the palace very conveniently. The guards let him in as soon as they saw the token.
The palace covers a large area, and is a palace city. Most people would feel dizzy if they came in. Qin Chu had been here once and still remembered the way, so he came to the palace where the queen was.
Seeing Qin Chu's token, the maid asked Qin Chu to wait, and then went to report.
After a while, the maid came back and took Qin Chu to a bamboo forest in the inner courtyard of the palace.
There was an exquisite attic in the bamboo forest. In front of the attic, Empress Wu, wearing a golden Luo skirt, was reading a classic. When Qin Chu arrived, she put the book down and waved her hand to let the maids and guards go down.
After bowing slightly to Empress Wu and clasping her fists, Qin Chu stood aside and did not speak actively. Empress Wu asked him to come, which meant that she had something to say to him.
"Sit down, don't be restrained!" Empress Wu said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu hesitated slightly and sat down opposite Empress Wu.
"To be honest, I have investigated you, but there is nothing but nothing. However, you have the real Dao Yun." Empress Wu looked at Qin Chu's eyes with a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts.
Qin Chu didn't know how to answer. He knew what the Dao Yun was. It was the reward for passing the Tongtian Road.
"Don't know how to answer, or don't want to answer? But it doesn't matter. Since I promised Zhou Yuanshuo not to touch you, I won't touch you. Besides, you are not an enemy. I can tolerate talents." Seeing Qin Chu didn't speak, Empress Wu spoke.
"How could it be an enemy? I will not participate in any royal disputes. It is true that Zhou Yuanshuo and I are friends, but Zhou Yuanshuo will not participate in the competition for the throne." Qin Chu stated his position.
"Then Zhou Yuanshuo also said that he would protect Zhou Yuanxing!" Empress Wu drank a cup of tea, then pointed to the teapot, indicating that Qin Chu could pour it himself.
Qin Chu smiled bitterly, "My Queen, the royal family is a behemoth. Any expert can beat me into slag, so my attitude is not important."
"What if this palace says it is important?" Queen Wu's attitude was very firm.
Qin Chu suddenly didn't know how to do it. He didn't want to make any promises. Zhou Yuanshuo wanted to protect Zhou Yuanxing. That was Zhou Yuanshuo's business and had nothing to do with him.
"Let's make a deal. Before you become a great sage, this palace can do you two favors. After you become a great sage, you help Yuanxing." Seeing that Qin Chu didn't speak, Queen Wu spoke again.
"This deal can't be done. My cultivation period in the Xu Ling Tower is about to end. There is less than a year left. I will leave in a year." Qin Chu hesitated and said. He didn't want to lie. First of all, Queen Wu was not easy to lie, and secondly, he didn't want to do anything to lie.
"You will still have a place to practice in the Xu Ling Tower." Queen Wu smiled.
"My Queen wants to help me? Is this also a favor? Forget it!" Qin Chu shook his head.
"I will not take responsibility for something that I did not do myself. Your quota for the Void Spirit Tower is given to me by someone else. It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, you still have the opportunity to practice in the Void Spirit Tower." Empress Wu said.
"Other people want to give it to me... Could it be Prince Shuo?" Qin Chu thought of Zhou Yuanshuo, but Zhou Yuanshuo said that Shangguan Wan'er would go to the Void Spirit Tower to practice for three years.
"No, when the new quota is issued, you will know. Will you do our deal? I am not trying to scare you. The water in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very deep. If you are not careful, you will be tricked. It is necessary for me to protect you." Empress Wu shook her head.
"It does not violate morality and my principles of being a human being. I can help Prince Yuanxing." Qin Chu nodded.
"Deal, have tea!" Empress Wu smiled.
After drinking two cups of tea, Qin Chu was about to leave. He did not expect that Empress Wu came to him for Zhou Yuanxing. As for the deal, it was also very sincere.
"Anything else you want to say? Is there anything you need help with?" Seeing Qin Chu was about to leave, Empress Wu asked.
"Nothing to help. As for what I want to say, I just think it's great to be an emperor and marry a beautiful woman like the queen." Turning back to look at Queen Wu, Qin Chu ignored Queen Wu's frosty face and left directly. Women like others to praise their beauty. Qin Chu felt that Queen Wu was only angry on the surface.
"Asshole!" Qin Chu left, and Queen Wu cursed. She thought Qin Chu was very strange, but strange people have the charm of Tao.
The charm of Tao, this can't be taken away, but there is no way to learn from it, such as double cultivation...
After returning to his mansion, Qin Chu felt that he didn't suffer any loss in this transaction with Queen Wu. He didn't need to pay anything before becoming a great saint; after becoming a great saint, he might be very capable, and it's okay to help Zhou Yuanxing.
After chatting with Shi Qingfei for a while, Qin Chu went to rest. His rest was to meditate and polish his cultivation, to relax his emotions, and prepare for the next wave of cultivation.
In Ling Su's mansion, Ling Su sat in the main seat, and Bai Yunqiu knelt below.
"Are you sure you want to work for me and do anything?" Ling Su trimmed her nails and thought about something.
"Yes, as long as you keep him away from me." Bai Yuqiu pointed at the shadow guard.
"Okay! Then you have to swear the Heavenly Oath." Ling Su felt that Bai Yunqiu was still useful, after all, he was a direct descendant of the Bai family.
Bai Yunqiu swore the Heavenly Oath, and she knew that the situation was developing in the direction of Yuan Haoling's plan.
"Get up! You will be a maid in this mansion for the time being. You are not allowed to leave the mansion. In addition, Qin Chu will come to visit the mansion recently. You must hide when he comes and cannot show up. This is a pill to restore your cultivation." Ling Su made a request and then gave Bai Yunqiu a bottle of pills. Bai Yunqiu's dantian was hit by a punch from the shadow guard. The injury was more serious and has not recovered.
Bai Yunqiu stood up, bowed to Ling Su and went down.
"Qianya, the plan cannot go wrong. Yuan Haoling must be in place at any time, because we don't know when Qin Chu will come." Ling Su took a sip of tea and said.
"I know that when Qin Chu comes, I will give him the Spring Fire Pill. What about Yuan Haoling? What if she doesn't obey?" Ling Qianya asked.
"Give it to him too, but don't take the Spring Fire Pill. If she takes it, she won't know anything, which is meaningless. Let her know what happened while she is awake. You go and prepare the pills. I remember there is a kind of immortal drunk that can make people lustful and burn with fire, but their hands and feet are weak. The most important thing is to be clear-headed." Ling Su's face was full of smiles. What she liked most was the feeling that everything was under control. .
Yuan Haoling received Ling Su's order and moved into Ling Su's mansion. This was Ling Su's preparation for Qin Chu's visit at any time. As for her, she had to stay in the prince's mansion. She couldn't let Zhou Yuanzhen feel anything. As for Yuan Haoling, she told Zhou Yuanzhen that she would go back to Feixian Palace to live for a while according to Ling Su's intention.
In Ling Su's mansion, Bai Yunqiu and Yuan Haoling met secretly, and Bai Yunqiu told Ling Su's plan.
"Immortal drunk is a good thing. It's the same as my idea. Take this immortal drunk." Ling Su took out a jade bottle and gave it to Bai Yunqiu.
