New and dark light years

Chapter 338 Many Troubles in the Palace

Lightsaber!

Or rather, a sword of spiritual energy.

No matter where it flew from, it always appeared outside of sight.

In other words... this thing flew at least several hundred feet.

In fact, whether it's a thousand miles away or a few hundred feet away, it makes no difference to Li Lin now.

This thing can indeed take a life from outside one's field of vision.

It's difficult to defend against.

Li Lin stared at the spot where the lightsaber had disappeared, his face grave.

Li Yanjing said from the side, "Don't worry, that thing isn't aimed at you. If it were, Madam would have stopped it immediately."

Li Lin nodded, feeling less anxious.

Li Yanjing walked over and said to the head of 'Qing'er': "Don't spread the matter of my husband's bloodlust, understand? You should also understand that my wife is rather aloof. If it spreads, it doesn't matter if you die, but your husband will probably be implicated as well."

Qing'er's head bobbed up, and she quickly said, "I understand."

Wen Bi also said, "Thank you for your help, Kun Ge."

"It was the Tree Fairy who helped you, not me."

Wen Bi replied, "Then it's no different from you helping me."

People of this era all thought that wives and concubines were part of a man's life.

Li Lin said nothing more and took his leave.

Wen Bi did not try to stop him; he also needed time to process what had just happened and to deal with what had transpired.

Some of the servants should be dismissed.

When Li Lin returned home, Huang Qing brought him mung bean soup and said, "My husband must be thirsty after working so hard outside. Have some soup to quench your thirst."

While drinking mung bean water, Li Lin asked Chu Rengong, who was sitting next to him, "Wild Taoist... what else do you know?"

“I have told my lord everything I know,” Chu Rengong said, then she asked, “Why is my lord so concerned about him?”

Li Lin said, "He might come to our Yulin County in a while."

"Why?" Chu Rengong asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't he be staying in Yu County researching magic?"

Li Lin then recounted what had just happened.

"He used a lightsaber to send a message?" Chu Rengong was stunned, then asked, "He also said that he had run out of spiritual energy wine?"

Li Lin nodded.

Chu Rengong then breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Then that wild Taoist is no longer a great threat."

Li Lin looked at him with some surprise.

"Does my lord consider me a match for you?"

Li Lin shook his head.

Without the Spirit Wine, and without the Heavenly Purification Sand, let alone one Chu Ren Palace, even three more Chu Ren Palace members wouldn't be a match for Li Lin.

The reason is simple: whether it's the Great Completion of Spear Intent or the Lightning Strike Technique, he can easily defeat Chu Rengong.

“The wild Taoist is in a similar situation,” Chu Rengong explained. “Without spiritual energy wine, he can barely cast any spells. Not everyone can learn as quickly as you do.”

"Actually, I'm just average."

Chu Rengong gave off a "you'll see if I believe you" look.

Knowing his own exceptional talent, Li Lin changed the subject and asked, "Did you drink the spiritual liquid in the jade bowl?"

Chu Rengong nodded: "I did drink it, and it had some effect, but not much... My body doesn't seem to be able to handle the spiritual liquid; most of it was wasted."

“Your constitution is weak. You need to practice dual cultivation to change your constitution before you can do it,” Li Yanjing said from the side. “Look at Madam Xiao and Hongluan, they both had good results after drinking the spiritual liquid. Their constitutions were actually not as good as yours before.”

Chu Rengong looked at Li Lin with a melancholy expression: "I would like to, but there are people who don't want it."

Li Lin didn't reply. He stood up and said, "I'll go to the study first. You all wait for me in the spiritual vein as usual."

Huang Qing nodded.

After Li Lin left, Chu Rengong walked behind Qing and gently patted her back, saying, "You see, my husband doesn't care about me at all."

"No rush... My husband isn't the kind of person who's impatient with lust." Huang Qing laughed. "Yan Jing has been hanging around our house for quite a while, and she was only accepted when she had the chance. Just wait a little longer."

Chu Rengong narrowed his eyes: "With your words, young mistress, I feel at ease."

Huang Qing asked, "Your husband almost beat you to death, don't you hate him?"

"I don't hate him, because I almost harmed him too. In all things considered, I was more in the wrong." Chu Rengong said cautiously, "Back then, the three of you looked at me as if you wanted to tear me to pieces."

“That was then, and now is now,” Huang Qing said with a smile. “With your looks and abilities, what woman wouldn’t like you? If you stay here long enough, you’ll eventually have to come into my home.”

Chu Rengong laughed heartily.

Li Lin returned to his study, took out the white jade immortal sword, and then condensed those specks of light dust in his hand.

Tianjingsha

Then he picked up the white jade immortal sword, and the light dust entered the sword. Soon the entire sword became bright, looking extremely beautiful, and even exuding a majestic aura.

But soon... the white jade immortal sword dimmed again.

Li Lin felt a sudden emptiness in his body.

The 'energy' is gone.

His spiritual energy was several times greater than before, but now it could only barely elicit a response from the White Jade Immortal Sword.

According to his estimation, to truly utilize this immortal sword, one must at least have achieved the Foundation Establishment stage.

Only then will the amount of spiritual energy be sufficient.

In other words... both the Foundation Building Pill and the Qi Consolidation Pill need to be refined as soon as possible.

To refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, a large amount of spirit rice is required.

This requires planting in the spirit fields. The spirit fields also need a sufficiently safe place, so promotion is imperative.

I wonder how things are going with Mu Yi.

……

Beijing.

Kunning Palace, also known as Jiaofang.

Generally speaking, the Jiaofang (Pepper Chamber) was reserved for the Empress, but it is currently occupied by Consort Yourong.

It's easy to imagine how much she was favored.

But today, she looked quite unwell.

A middle-aged man with a pale complexion tinged with blue threw two booklets onto the table.

"My beloved concubine, please take a good look at these two booklets."

Consort Yourong wore a thin silk robe, her body barely concealed, and her curves were almost fully revealed.

She walked over, lay down on the middle-aged man's lap, and said in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, I don't want to see it. Can you read it to me instead?"

Zhu Jing placed one hand on the woman's shapely buttocks, applying slight pressure, and said, "You'd better take a look."

Consort Rong felt a sharp pain, and then she saw the Emperor's stern face, which startled her.

He immediately went over, picked up two booklets, looked at the account book first, and then looked at the other book, 'evidence of the crime'. After reading it, she was trembling with excitement and knelt down before the man.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. I really did not ask them to do this."

Zhu Jing leaned back slightly and said in a flat tone that revealed no emotion, "Youfei, I remember a year ago, there was a man surnamed Qin who caused trouble. He seemed to be from your Yang family, right?"

Consort Yourong's expression froze instantly.

"Time and time again!" Zhu Ming sighed. "The ministers in the court already had a lot of complaints about you before. Now that this has happened again, even if I dote on you, I can't speak up for you anymore."

"Your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with me. I really don't know anything about it."

Zhu Jing sighed and said, "This matter is too big. The Yang family in Rong County directly caused a local rebellion. Three county officials were killed, all the gentry were killed, and the local militia was almost completely wiped out. If you say you don't know about such a big thing, you won't convince the public or persuade me."

Consort You Rong collapsed at Zhu Ming's feet, weeping bitterly.

Zhu Jing continued, "Today you will move out of the Empress's Chamber and live in the Cold Palace for half a year, understand?"

"Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

Upon hearing that she was to be sent to the Cold Palace, Consort Yourong's face began to contort.

Every woman in the palace knows how terrifying that place is.

But even with her distorted face, she was still beautiful, very beautiful.

Zhu Jing reached out and stroked Consort You Rong's face: "Don't worry, I will arrange for people to take good care of you. Just think of it as a period of rest and recuperation, understand?"

"Your Majesty!" Consort Yourong looked at her pitifully.

Zhu Jing felt a pang of pity looking at her frail appearance, but he still stood up and said, "Let's get going."

Having said that, she left the Empress's quarters.

There are many disputes in the palace; any slight disturbance will spread quickly.

In the Rouyi Palace, Empress Mu Wan'er was embroidering.

She had an oval face and a broad, straight forehead, giving her a dignified and elegant appearance.

While not stunningly beautiful, her appearance is still quite pleasing to the eye.

She was sitting cross-legged on the couch, embroidering, when a young eunuch rushed in and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this is wonderful news! Consort You Rong has been rejected by the Emperor and is to be banished to the Cold Palace for at least six months."

"is it?"

Mu Wan'er parted her red lips slightly, bit off the silk thread with her little tiger teeth, and looked at the peony she had embroidered. It was very beautiful, so she nodded in satisfaction.

There was joy in her eyes, yet she remained calm and composed.

"I have heard that it is indeed true. There are already palace maids helping Consort Yourong move her things."

Mu Wan put down the embroidered lid and said, "Go and invite Jiang Shurong over."

The young eunuch immediately went out, and soon a beautiful young girl walked in.

"Younger sister greets Empress."

"Close the door," Mu Wan'er said, bowing slightly.

The eunuch immediately closed the door, leaving only the two women in the room.

Mu Wan'er looked at the girl with her head down and smiled, "Don't be so nervous, your sister won't scold or hit you."

Jiang Shurong just smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

"Now that Consort Rong has been confined to the Cold Palace, is your Jiang family willing to work for me?"

“Of course I’m willing,” Jiang Shurong said, looking up. “Yesterday, my father asked someone to tell me to get closer to my sister.”

"Oh, he already knew yesterday?"

Jiang Shurong remained silent; there were some things she shouldn't say, and couldn't say.

The Empress said, "I want to promote someone from Jin County to the position of Chief Military Supervisor. Your Jiang family should also contribute more to the court."

"Yes... Father will find out."

"Also, this is for you."

Mu Wan'er took out a porcelain bottle from the side and poured out a fragrant pill.

"Is this a youth-preserving elixir?"

Jiang Shurong exclaimed excitedly, abandoning her previous politeness and composure.
