Chapter 1371 Taking a Concubine as a Servant

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen turned his head and saw a noble lady walking in with a group of people.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained a second-level inferior spiritual vein. ]

"A second-level lower-grade spiritual vein?"

"This is the fifth time I signed in and got it."

"The first-grade inferior spirit vein is the lowest level spirit vein. The second-grade inferior spirit vein is the spirit vein second only to the first-grade inferior spirit vein."

"A first-grade lower-grade spirit vein can produce one hundred lower-grade spirit stones a year, while a second-grade lower-grade spirit vein can produce four hundred lower-grade spirit stones a year."

"This is good stuff."

"The Jiang family needs such a spiritual vein to build a system for obtaining spiritual stone resources."

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Concubine Zhao, a character in "The Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Farewell to the Clouds".

In the play, she is Xiao Jian's concubine. In terms of seniority, Concubine Zhao is Xiao Dingquan's mother, or the opposite. The death of Xiao Dingquan's mother, the former Queen Gu Siqing, and the seizure of his uncle Gu Silin's military power are also closely related to the forces behind Concubine Zhao.

"It turned out to be her."

"Now it's the imperial concubine..."

As a mother, Concubine Zhao in the play loves her children very much, especially the Prince of Qi, Xiao Dingtang, who is her beloved one. She does not want her children to leave her. At the same time, as a member of the Zhao family, she wants to support her family and replace the power of the Gu family in the court. But she did not recognize the reality. She did not have the charm to influence the emperor. The emperor Xiao Ruijian was not a fatuous and lustful monarch, and he hated the interference of foreign relatives in politics. However, she joined forces with the Prince of Qi and the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Li Baizhou, to try to overthrow the crown prince Xiao Dingquan and reproduce the situation of the power of foreign relatives in the previous emperor's period. This is undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of the emperor.

Xiao Dingtang was originally favored by the emperor, and Concubine Zhao ascended to the throne because of his mother's status as a son. However, Xiao Dingtang relied on the emperor's favor and his mother's support to wantonly oppose Xiao Dingquan, thus deviating from the emperor's plan and was eventually demoted to the Prince of Guangchuan and immediately removed to the vassal state. Concubine Zhao, who became Empress Zhao, ran to the emperor and cried for mercy, but the emperor did not think of the 20-year relationship between husband and wife and decisively refused. In the emperor's view, Xiao Dingtang's ending was inseparable from Empress Zhao's doting. She and Xiao Dingtang ruined his plan, and his plea at this time only made the emperor more disgusted.

After Xiao Dingtang left, Queen Zhao fainted from excessive grief. The royal family is different from ordinary people's families. Xiao Dingtang could not return to Beijing without the emperor's summons. This separation might be the last time mother and son saw each other. To make matters worse, Xiao Dingtang's princess was pregnant. The child had a special status. If it was a boy, he would be the next generation of the royal family, posing a threat to Xiao Dingkai and Crown Prince Xiao Dingquan, who coveted the position of crown prince. So, on the way to Zhifan, Xiao Dingtang's convoy had an accident, and the princess and the child died. Queen Zhao was heartbroken.

After Xiao Dingtang left, only Xiao Dingkai was left. Xiao Dingquan pressed the issue step by step, asking the emperor to order Xiao Dingkai to be exiled immediately after the wedding. Xiao Dingkai was unwilling to fail, and came up with a vicious plan to let his mother, Queen Zhao, die to delay the wedding. He cried in Queen Zhao's bedroom for a night, making Queen Zhao despair of life. She believed that her death could exchange for her son's throne and the prosperity of the Zhao family. In the end, Queen Zhao swallowed gold and died. However, her death did not change anything. Xiao Dingkai was still defeated by Xiao Dingquan, and the Zhao family gradually declined.

Queen Zhao pursued power and family affection all her life. Her greed and stupidity made her unable to see the situation clearly, and she eventually lost everything.

"Some people say that Concubine Zhao (still Concubine Zhao, so she is still called Concubine Zhao in the third world) died because of her greed."

"However, this is also because of Xiao Ruijian."

"Concubine Zhao is just a pawn."

Jiang Chen looked at Concubine Zhao.

At this time, Concubine Zhao bowed to Xiao Ruijian and said, "Your Majesty, I just received news from home that Princess Xiao Yu of Daliang wants to meet your Majesty in secret."

Princess Xiao Yu of Daliang?

Both Jiang Chen in secret and the Emperor of Southern Qi were shocked when they heard Concubine Zhao's words.

Especially Jiang Chen.

The last time Jiang Chen saw Xiao Yu was in Dayu.

I didn't expect to come to Southern Qi now.

"By the way, it hasn't been that long since I left Dayu."

"So, Xiao Yu came directly to Nanqi after leaving Dayu?"

Jiang Chen thought about the time he met Xiao Yu before.

At this moment, Xiao Ruijian's voice rang out: "Xiao Yu wants to see me?"

"Yes." Concubine Zhao responded.

"Why would Xiao Yu come to your Zhao family?" Xiao Ruijian asked.

"Because the Zhao family has a caravan that is connected to the Yunyan caravan under the Princess Daliang. The Princess Daliang used the Yunyan caravan to contact us." Concubine Zhao said.

"Really?" Xiao Ruijian had no expression on his face.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in secret.

Concubine Zhao’s maiden family?

correct.

In the play, the death of the former Queen Gu Siqing and the removal of the military power of Wude Hou Gu Silin are closely related to the forces behind her. Her father, Anping Earl, was also very close to Li Baizhou, and after the incident was exposed, he was sent to the border as a slave.

And now the plot is about to begin.

Adding to the current incident with Princess Daliang, the Zhao family might be finished?

But, is this Concubine Zhao a fool?

Even if Princess Xiao Yu of Daliang found the Zhao family, she should not come by herself.

At this moment, the voices of Xiao Ruijian and Concubine Zhao were heard.

After a while, Concubine Zhao left.

A quarter of an hour later, Princess Xiao Yu of Daliang arrived.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Xiao Yu bowed.

Jiang Chen heard Xiao Yu's voice and looked over.

After not seeing him for a while (third world time), Xiao Yu was still as heroic as ever.

"Princess Xiao Yu, what do you want to see me about?" Xiao Ruijian asked.

"His Majesty……"

Xiao Ruijian and Xiao Yu started chatting.

Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard what Xiao Ruijian and Xiao Yu said.

Because Xiao Yu wanted to form an alliance with Southern Qi.

Even borrowed troops from Southern Qi.

"Behind Xiao Yu is Qi Wang Xiao Ce..."

"So, Xiao Yu went to Dayu before, and now he comes to Nanqi."

"Is this the trump card of Qi Wang Xiao Ce?"

Jiang Chen understood.

Immediately, Jiang Chen thought of Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu and Dayu have a blood feud, so he has hidden his identity for more than ten years and must have arranged many spies in Dayu.

Therefore, Mei Changsu would definitely notice Xiao Yu's actions.

"So, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... Interesting..."

Jiang Chen pondered.

After a moment, Xiao Yu left.

Jiang Chen also left.

However, Jiang Chen did not continue to follow Xiao Yu, but came to the harem.

Jiang Chen's purpose of coming to the harem was very simple.

Just look for Concubine Zhao.

……

"Who?"

When Jiang Chen found Concubine Zhao, she was embroidering alone.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Chen appeared in front of Concubine Zhao with a smile.

"Who are you?" Concubine Zhao looked at Jiang Chen warily.

"I'm here to bring good news to the Imperial Concubine..." As he spoke, Jiang Chen's figure flashed and appeared in front of Imperial Concubine Zhao.

next moment.

The fire charm is activated.

Soon, Concubine Zhao became confused.

After a while.

Concubine Zhao knelt on one knee and said, "Meet the Master."

"Get up." Jiang Chen said.

Not bad.

Jiang Chen used the soul-transferring technique and fire charm on Concubine Zhao.

He modified Concubine Zhao's memory and made her his slave in her subconscious.

For Jiang Chen, this was an attempt.

If they failed, they would sacrifice Concubine Zhao, which would have no impact on the Jiang family. Concubine Zhao did not know martial arts, nor did she have super high mental strength, which meant that the possibility of failure was even smaller.

"Yes." Concubine Zhao stood up.

"Next..."

Jiang Chen and Concubine Zhao began to give orders.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen left the Southern Qi Palace.

"Hmm? That's Gu Fengen?"

"It's him."

Jiang Chen remembered that Gu Fengen was the second son of General Gu Silin, the nephew of the late Queen Gu Siqing, the cousin of Crown Prince Xiao Dingquan, and the student of the Crown Prince's tutor Lu Shiyu. He was not only handsome, but also a man of letters who could bring peace to the world and a man of martial arts who could make a difference.

"Gu Fengen in the play is extremely talented. When he is on horseback, he can kill generals and seize flags. When he is off horseback, he can be a capable minister who can govern the world."

Jiang Chen remembered that Gu Fengen in the play was a young man from a prominent family. He had a future as a civil official, but due to a trick of fate, he was deprived of the imperial examination and was forbidden to take the exam for life. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him who wanted to prove his worth through his own efforts.

However, Gu Fengen did not sink because of this. Instead, he chose another more difficult path - to join the army and serve the country. Faced with the uncertainty of his father and brother's life and death on the battlefield, his heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness. In this case, Gu Fengen decided to go to Changzhou to find them regardless of everything. However, this move was forbidden by the emperor. At this critical moment, Xu Changping's words were like a ray of light, illuminating Gu Fengen's way forward. He realized that only through military achievements could the position of the prince be truly consolidated, and it was also the continuation of the glory of the Gu family. So he resolutely embarked on the journey to Changzhou.

Unfortunately, Gu Fengen was determined to support Xiao Dingquan to ascend the throne, but because Xiao Dingquan was too upright, the entire Gu family was killed. Gu Fengen was desperate for Xiao Dingquan and the dynasty, and finally he committed suicide.

It can be said that Gu Fengen was killed by Xiao Dingquan. "If it were me, I would have killed the king."

"However, once we take control of Daliang, we can also destroy Southern Qi."

Information about Gu Fengen flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind.

However, Jiang Chen did not leave the capital of Southern Qi immediately.

Although he took Concubine Zhang as his slave, his plan for Southern Qi was not over yet.

……

Ye Qin Imperial City, Jiang Mansion.

"How is Ye Qin now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Nothing has changed in the past few days." Maria recounted Ye Qin's situation.

"Li Chengyin's Western Expedition failed, but he was not killed all at once. It is obvious that there is a group of people supporting him behind Li Chengyin." Jiang Chen said with emotion.

"Mr. Jiang, is it true that Li Gongfeng (Li Qiu Shui) will not ask about Ye Qin's affairs?" Wei Wei asked.

"Li Qiu Shui is just the queen mother. If she wasn't strong in Ye Qin, she would probably be trapped to death in the harem. Even if Li Qiu Shui can suppress it with her strength, the actions in secret are not small. It is easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. The development of our family is not an open development." Jiang Chen said.

Culture can stabilize a country, and military power can stabilise a country.

That's it.

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Meili asked.

"Keep waiting."

Jiang Chen said: "As the imperial court fights for the throne, we will speed up our development in secret, first control Yeqin's economy, and take over the army when necessary."

"Take down the army? I understand." Jiang Meili nodded.

"In addition, Zhaoguo, Yongguo and Heguo are also within your development scope." Jiang Chen said.

"Develop to the south?" Jiang Meili asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

Just as Chen Xi said, distance will limit development.

In the central continent of the third world, there are many family teleportation talismans.

As your strength increases, these distance restrictions will become less and less, and development will become more and more advantageous.

"When the time comes, you can discuss this matter and make preparations for the decision." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Jiang Meili nodded.

……

"The wind is sleeping late, the original is clear and separated."

As soon as Jiang Chen came out of Wei Wei's room, he saw Feng Mianwan and Yuan Qingli chatting in the yard in the distance, so he walked over immediately.

"Son."

Feng Mianwan bowed to Yuan Qingli.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Chen asked, holding one by one's hand.

"We... didn't talk about anything." Feng Mianwan said with his head down.

"Then let's chat together?" Jiang Chen pulled the two women to sit down, and then started chatting.

To Jiang Chen, Feng Mianwan and Yuan Qingli were just two little girls, and it was very easy to find common topics with them.

After leaving the third world, Jiang Chen, Feng Mianwan and Yuan Qingli’s relationship also took a step further.

Well, after all, Jiang Chen has a special interest in twins.

If we were lucky enough to be together...

As the topic deepened, Jiang Chen's hands had already reached the waists of the two women.

"Son..."

Feng Mianwan was a little hesitant.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at her affectionately.

"It's getting late, we should go to bed." Feng Mianwan said.

"Too."

Jiang Chen looked at the sky and said, "Let's go together!"

"what!"

Feng Mianwan and Yuan Qingli were surprised.

"Don't want to?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's not convenient today." Feng Mianwan said.

"Hmm?" Jiang Chen glanced at Feng Mianwan.

Yuan Qingli said something in Jiang Chen's ear.

"It's okay, we won't do anything else." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Feng Mianwan and Yuan Qingli could only agree.

"Walk."

Jiang Chen hugged the two women and walked towards the room.

……

Northern Qi continent, Southern Qing capital, Jiang Mansion.

"Can't wait?" Jiang Chen looked at Qin Yun with a smile.

Qin Yun, the Empress of Emperor Qing in "Joy of Life".

"Well, I feel like I can't wait even for a day." Qin Yun said.

"This day is coming soon. This time I brought a thousand Star Riders, and we will definitely be able to defeat Emperor Qing." Jiang Chen said.

"One Thousand Star Knights?" Qin Yun was surprised.

The lowest level of Star Rider is Grandmaster.

Most of them are grand masters.

There are only four grand masters in the Northern Qi continent.

"It's easy to deal with Emperor Qing, but it's not easy for forces like the Inspection Institute to deal with it." Jiang Chen said.

"It feels like a waste of talent." Qin Yun said.

"It's better to be careful." Jiang Chen said.

"So what should we do next?" Qin Yun asked.

"You must have done a lot of things these days, right?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I went to see my people, but most of them have been dealt with by Emperor Qing." Qin Yun said.

"It's expected. I didn't think so much when I took you away." Jiang Chen was not surprised. If Emperor Qing couldn't even solve this problem, he would not be Emperor Qing.

"I don't regret it." If it weren't for Jiang Chen, she wouldn't be where she is today.

"Have you met Li Chengqian?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I have seen him, but...he..." Qin Yun was silent.

"You don't need to worry. At worst we can leave Nanqing and let him play by himself." Jiang Chen said.

"This..." Qin Yun hesitated.

"Li Chengqian was trained by Emperor Qing and is very similar to Emperor Qing." Jiang Chen said.

In Joy of Life 1, Li Chengqian was a relatively gentle and modest gentleman. In Joy of Life 2, Li Chengqian became a smiling but dagger-hiding person, seemingly gentle and refined, but actually harboring murderous intent; he also became a "fake good guy" who treated smoothing things over as a daily routine.

With such a person, even if Jiang Chen favored Qin Yun, he would never let Li Chengqian join the Jiang family.

"You will be mine from now on. Li Chengqian is just Li Chengqian." Jiang Chen let Xu Ziyan join the Jiang family because he was young and could be trained. If Xu Ziyan turned out to be an ungrateful person, he would abandon him without hesitation. Li Chengqian had been trained by Emperor Qing for so many years, it was impossible for him to become a member of the Jiang family.

"I know." Qin Yun understood what Jiang Chen meant.

"I'm glad you understand. You won't suffer any harm if you follow me." Jiang Chen said.

"Yeah." Qin Yun nodded.

"By the way, this time to deal with Emperor Qing, Queen Mother Nan Qing..." Jiang Chen didn't say anything else here, but the meaning was very clear.

"I want to kill her too." Qin Yun thought of Queen Mother Nanqing, and a murderous intent rose in her heart.

"Empress Dowager Nanqing watched her family being slaughtered and obviously stood on the side of Emperor Qing. A person like this without a family is a good mother, but not a good daughter." Jiang Chen is a person who values ​​his family first.

Therefore, he had no good feelings towards Queen Mother Nanqing, who watched her own clan being slaughtered.

Although it is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled.

But for a daughter from a family, the family is her root.

Queen Mother Nanqing is an ungrateful person.

Of course, Jiang Chen also understood that even if Queen Dowager Nanqing wanted to save her family, she couldn’t do it with Emperor Qing around.

"Let's go and meet Li Yunrui." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Qin Yun did not refuse.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Qin Yun arrived at the Princess's Mansion silently.

"Son."

Seeing Jiang Chen, Li Yunrui stood up and went to greet him.

"Well, let's sit down and talk." Jiang Chen patted Li Yunrui's hand.

When Qin Yun saw this scene, her beautiful eyes flashed.

After Li Yunrui invited Jiang Chen to sit down, he greeted Qin Yun, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw Qin Yun's meaningful look.

"Let's talk business. I came here to solve Nanqing's problem." Jiang Chen looked at Li Yunrui and Qin Yun and said, "Tell me what you think now."
