Chapter 2390: Luck Dragon Cave
When a rift arises between a couple, any factor can become the flashpoint for the conflict.

It's unknown when the rift between the new emperor and the empress began, but neither of them tried to repair it, or perhaps the education they received simply did not allow them to repair the relationship.

Zhang Xuezhou previously believed that it was his outrageous remarks that led to the Queen's "feminist" consciousness, but the Queen mentioned Wei Zifu, which made Zhang Xuezhou instantly realize that his advice was just an introduction.

Without Zhang Xuezhou's "monogamy" system and other things, the queen would have found other reasons sooner or later.

"How can the starlight compete with the bright moon? No matter how beautiful the starlight is, it is only temporary. Only the bright moon can shine with the sun!"

Zhang Xuezhou quickly put aside his explanations and turned to flatter the queen.

"Dongfang Shuo, what do you mean by starlight and bright moon?" the Queen asked in confusion.

"There are tens of thousands of singing girls in the world, and they are just like the countless stars in the sky," Zhang Xuezhou flattered, "and the Queen is just like the pure white moon in the sky. When you shine, the stars will be dimmed, and no one can compare to you. Why bother yourself with those insignificant stars!"

"You speak so beautifully, like the stars and the moon." The queen understood and said happily: "If your majesty could say half a sentence like this, I would be very happy!"

"It has been several years since the death of the late emperor, and Your Majesty is filled with bitterness. It is very difficult for Your Majesty to say these words," Zhang Xuezhou said, "but the bitterness will fade with time, and Your Majesty should hear these words from Your Majesty more often in the future!"

"I think what you said makes sense. His Majesty used to call me 'Jiaojiao', but in recent years after the wedding he either calls me Queen, Chen Ajiao, or Chen Jiao. He must be feeling bitter, so his words have become harsh," said the Queen.

"That's how it should be!"

Zhang Xuezhou followed the Queen's lead and tried his best to reconcile the conflict between the young couple.

As an official living in the Han Dynasty and seeking opportunities brought by fortune, Zhang Xuezhou obviously hoped that the Han Dynasty would prosper, rather than being caught up in the chaos caused by trivial matters every day, which would even force the new emperor to leave the palace to avoid them.

He understood the Queen's tone and felt that if the new Emperor just said a few polite words, the two of them would get along well.

"How can someone who is so easy to coax not be coaxed?"

Zhang Xuezhou and the queen got along very well.

When they chatted until noon, he even had a pastry lunch with the queen in the Pepper Room.

"It's a pity that men and women can't get along, otherwise I really want this Dongfang Shuo to come to the Pepper Room every day!"

When leaving the palace, the queen was still a little reluctant, but she also knew her limits.

Only when she saw Zhang Xuezhou leave and walk away did she sigh softly.

Zhang Xuezhou, who was obsessed with the emperor's oral instructions, could come to the Pepper Palace alone. Zhang Xuezhou, who had the authority of "Jieshi Zhong", could also come to the Pepper Palace to find the new emperor, but she could not meet the other party alone.

The cheers in the palace finally died down.

"Chu Wuzhu, I recently spent another five million dollars, why am I not pregnant with your Majesty's child?"

From a distance, Zhang Xuezhou could hear the Queen's voice asking about Chufu.

“Having babies is really big business!”

Listening to the Queen's question, Zhang Xuezhou sighed in his heart, thinking that those who were flooded would die from floods, and those who were drought-stricken would die from drought.

He didn't care about the five hundred and a half ounces of silver, but adding the word "wan" after the five hundred made a whole different story.

These half taels of money can be converted into five thousand taels of gold, which is a sum of money that Zhang Xuezhou has never earned in his life, and this is only the money that the queen has spent recently.

Zhang Xuezhou originally felt somewhat sympathetic towards the marital discord between the empress and the new emperor, but after hearing the truth, he felt that he should sympathize with himself even more.

It was a rare occasion that the new emperor was not in the palace, the empress was struggling with her marital relationship, and the grand empress dowager had passed away. Empress Dowager Dou needed to guard the Anle Palace, and now it was past the morning court time. Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the Changxin Palace where the empress dowager was.

Except for some risks in the Queen Mother's area, the risks in the Palace have been reduced to the lowest level at this time.

"Do you want to cultivate your body more?"

Thinking about his own reshaped body and Han Yan who had his luck extracted and suffered great misfortune, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the requirements for reshaping his body were extremely high.

He looked around the palace, hoping to find a dragon's lair of good fortune.

Normal luck does not spread out like the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum. Even if the luck is strong, there is still a core center. The luck dragon cave is this core center.

Once they step on the central position, they have the ability to mobilize the luck and can borrow the luck of the Han Dynasty normally.

The dragon cave of destiny is not fixed in one place, but follows specific rules according to the emperor's sacrifices and the changes of daily time.

Zhang Xuezhou searched around to find clues and patterns.

From the Pepper Room to the Weiyang Palace area, Zhang Xuezhou kept wandering with the order of "Jieshizhong" in his hand, looking for the location of the dragon cave with good fortune.

The way he searched was very simple. Without someone like the new emperor who could bless him with luck, and without someone like Han Yan who could steal his luck and display it, Zhang Xuezhou could only emerge into a state of luck by stepping into the dragon's lair that could mobilize luck.

This also became a simple way for him to find the dragon's lair of good fortune.

"Tianlu Qilin Pavilion!"

Zhang Xuezhou wandered from the front hall to the back hall of the Weiyang Palace for nearly a quarter of an hour. When he entered and exited a back hall area, his heart skipped a beat.

When he looked up, Zhang Xuezhou also recognized the name of the hall.

"What's this place for?"

He was thinking in his mind, but his actions were not slow.

For him, who had been trying to emerge into a state of magical power, this moment was like a thirsty person approaching a water source. He could clearly sense that the location of the dragon's lair of the palace's luck was right here.

The sunlight shining on a corner of Tianlu Qilin Pavilion also allowed Zhang Xuezhou to find the location.

He took a step forward and felt his martial arts state being activated in an instant. The scene that had appeared before appeared before his eyes again.

But compared to the end of the initial battle, there was an extra golden bond around him.

This comes from Han Yan's luck and also from the luck of the new emperor himself.

Zhang Xuezhou always said that he wanted to rely on the new emperor to practice martial arts, but his martial arts level really had nothing to do with the new emperor.

Zhang Xuezhou's fortune evolved from the dispute between Emperor Jing and Prince Liang, as well as from gifts from Emperor Jing, and then from the good fortune of the Imperial Mausoleum at Dongshan, which gave him a good fortune.

He seemed to be suppressed and hiding in a mess during the battle, which also depended on who he was fighting.

If we don't compare him with an old monster like Huang Daoxian, or someone who has been practicing martial arts for a long time like Huainan Wang, Zhang Xuezhou's martial arts level is actually very good.

"There is a difference between the golden aura of the Han Dynasty and the Luofu Dynasty!"

As he stepped into the dragon's lair of luck, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if his body was carrying gurgling water, and wisps of golden light of luck appeared around him.

This allowed him to clearly distinguish the differences between the fortune of the Han Dynasty and the residual fortune of Han Yan, Huang Daoxian, and Luo Chongyun's bodies.

Not to mention the purple mist of Huang Daoxian, the Han and Luofu, who belonged to the same dynasty, had different destinies.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the color of Luofu's luck was darker and older, while the golden light of the Han Dynasty's luck was lighter and newer.

The difference between these two golden colors of luck is difficult to detect under normal circumstances, and only at this moment of comparison can they be accurately distinguished.

Han Yan's luck is related to the derived luck body, resulting in the appearance of white in gold.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but marvel at it. He thought about his own black and white fish dragon body, and for a moment he thought he might have discovered the mystery of the composition of the body.

This does not seem to originate from his favor in the waters, but may be caused by Emperor Jingdi who is at the end of his life and about to die. It is also mixed with Emperor Jingdi's deprivation of the power of the white dragon of Liang Wang's luck as the winner of the battle of luck, thus forming the black of Emperor Jingdi's imminent death and the white of Liang Wang.

"So the color of my body will change after I reshape my body?"

Zhang Xuezhou was happy about his victory and also looked forward to his new life.

However, as soon as he saw the purple, gold and other auras surrounding his body, he was suddenly startled and felt that his protective color when hiding in the darkness was likely to change.

This is likely to directly eliminate his current combat advantage.
