Chapter 0934 He Is Not a Human
"Haha, Wu Xinrou, you are satisfied this time." The imprisoned woman laughed.
Empress Wu waved her hand and asked the guards to retreat. Huo Luo took out a chair from the storage ring and placed it behind Empress Wu.
"I didn't expect that you, Zhenfei, are from the Tianlei Dynasty." After sitting down, Empress Wu signaled Huo Luo to guard outside, because her communication with Zhenfei was not suitable for others to know.
"You are stupid, or should I say Zhou Lu is stupid." Zhenfei's face was full of smiles.
"You don't have to laugh. The emperor didn't fall, but was seriously injured." Empress Wu's voice was very calm.
"Not dead? Wu Xinrou, don't lie to me. I saw with my own eyes that he had a sword in his dantian and heart." Zhenfei's face changed. Because Zhou Lu didn't die, she had been lurking for countless years in vain. As for Wu Xinrou, it was Empress Wu's name.
"Do I need to lie to you? The emperor was seriously injured, but Lord Wu Huang appeared in time to stabilize his injuries." Empress Wu said.
Concubine Zhen's face turned cold, "Even if he is alive, what's the matter? This concubine has caught his bad roots, and the power of the dark domain has invaded. He is destined to be useless."
"Did you use the power of the dark domain? This is beyond my expectation. He is useless, but so what, the Great Zhou is still the Great Zhou." Empress Wu did not deny Concubine Zhen's words.
"You should be happy. I know you dislike him from the bottom of your heart and have no feelings for him. Isn't it just what you want to abolish him? You are also very pathetic. You are the mother of a country, but you can't be like a normal woman." Concubine Zhen laughed again.
"You don't need to gloat over misfortune. This concubine has been prepared for this for a long time." Empress Wu shook her head.
"You are so cruel. This is why you can be the queen, while the others are at most concubines!" Concubine Zhen exhaled. Compared with Empress Wu, she was furious and fell behind in momentum.
After a moment of silence, Empress Wu looked at Concubine Zhen, "I don't understand why you suddenly took action. I don't think now is the best time."
"Why? Because I can't see hope. Zhou Lu is a waste. He uses countless rare resources, but has no hope of understanding the Tao. He began to give up on himself... I want to improve myself through dual cultivation with him, but it's impossible. Since it's impossible, why should I let him play with me in vain?" Concubine Zhen shouted.
"You are the imperial concubine, his woman, how can this be called playing with him?" Empress Wu frowned.
"Zhou Lu is not a human being. Other imperial concubines and imperial concubines can get pregnant and have children, but not me. He said that women who have given birth to children have changed their minds. He won't allow me to get pregnant and have children. I can only be his plaything!" Concubine Zhen shouted hysterically, perhaps because she had been suppressed for too long.
"I understand you! Do you have any requirements?" Empress Wu looked at Concubine Zhen. She understood some things now. Zhou Lu can be said to have brought it upon himself.
"My cultivation is imprisoned, and I can't even bite my tongue to commit suicide. I know that this prison is not a good place. Women who come in, no matter what their previous status is, can't get out of it unscathed. These low-level scums haven't shown their fangs now because this matter is still in the limelight. Later, they will turn into beasts. Give me a clean one." Zhen Fei looked at Empress Wu and said.
"I will arrange this matter later and won't let you be trampled on." Empress Wu nodded.
Zhen Fei nodded to Empress Wu, which was considered a thank you.
Empress Wu got up and left. She came here just to know why Zhen Fei did this. Now she completely understood. Since Zhen Fei was frank, she would let Zhen Fei die decently.
After leaving the prison, Empress Wu looked at Huo Luo, "Arrange someone to send Zhen Fei to the road, don't let people know that it was us who did it."
Huo Luo nodded, she would do this.
Back to the inner courtyard of the palace, Empress Wu made a pot of tea by herself, then dismissed the people around her and thought alone.
"Zhou Lu, aren't you a waste? If you can't comprehend the rhyme of Taoism, you are worthless. Concubine Zhen doesn't like you, and so does this palace." Empress Wu said to herself.
Two days later, Concubine Zhen committed suicide out of fear of crime. It is said that she recovered some strength and then bit her tongue to commit suicide. Because she had not been convicted and it was not easy to publicize, Empress Wu still buried her with honor. This matter came to an end, but Zhou Lu paid a great price.
Zhou Yuanxing has emerged among the princes. He helped Zhou Yuanshuo manage the security of the imperial capital, and his presence in the court became stronger and stronger. Zhou Yuanshuo supported him, and he was also the legitimate prince, so it was reasonable for him to ascend to the throne.
That day, Zhou Yuanshuo walked around the Imperial Guards, and after returning to the mansion, he met Emperor Wu.
"Yuanshuo greets the emperor grandfather." Seeing Emperor Wu, Zhou Yuanshuo bowed to greet him.
"Get up! Yuan Shuo, don't you understand what Grandfather meant? Your father has fallen, and Grandfather arranged this so that you can seize power. Although he is not appointed as the crown prince now, you have the strength and power, and it is natural for you to take the throne in the future." Martial Emperor Zhou Zhentian said.
"Yuan Shuo knows what Grandfather meant, but Yuan Shuo feels that there is no need for this. Take Grandfather for example, although he is not the current emperor, isn't the sky of the Great Zhou still under your control? My grandson is not strong enough now, but I feel that he is not far from entering the Great Saint Realm. After entering the Great Saint Realm and practicing for a few more years, Yuan Shuo can shoulder half of the Great Zhou. No matter who is the emperor, the Great Zhou will be stable; if Yuan Shuo is lucky enough to enter the Quasi-Emperor or the Great Emperor Realm, he will become the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty like Grandfather." Zhou Yuanshuo bowed and said.
"What you said makes sense, but you have to seize power. Don't count on your father in the future. He was able to get the support of the ministers at the beginning, which may be related to his weak character. A weak emperor is easy to serve!" Emperor Wu sighed.
"Grandfather, the situation is only passive for a while, and it will soon pass." Zhou Yuanshuo said.
"Well! Since you have no intention, I will not make any arrangements against Empress Wu. No matter how ambitious she is, she can't shake our Zhou family's kingdom. Even if she supports Zhou Yuanxing to take the throne, she is still a member of our Zhou family." Emperor Wu Zhou Zhentian said.
"The Queen is very capable, and it is reasonable for her to support her son to take the throne. Brother Yuanxing has a pure character, and now lacks some wildness and murderousness, which can be trained." Zhou Yuanshuo said good things for Zhou Yuanxing, because if Emperor Wu opposed it, Zhou Yuanxing would not be able to take the throne.
"Well, you should pay more attention to the Wu family. As long as the Queen doesn't wantonly develop the power of the Wu family, I won't care about her." Zhou Zhentian said and left.
