The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 861: Ming Zhen’s Potential Enemies
Coming to the Queen's bedroom again, looking at this ancient building called "Purple Palace" which was built more than 8,000 years ago, Zhao Chen couldn't help but mutter in his heart while sighing:
What is so special about this palace? Why did the former demon queen of the King of Liang and the mysterious and powerful queen today choose to live in it?

And why is there a "secret passage" opened up by the "Original Land" here?
Well... the Queen claimed that she was the loser in the battle with "Hou Tu Ping Xin Niang" for the "Yin World", and her own way should also be of "extreme Yin". And that demon princess is most likely the bearer of the "Yin" divinity sought by the King of Liang to balance the "Enlightened Beast".

If the King of Liang, who possesses the magical powers of "Enlightened Beast" and "Night Light", were to unite with the witch in this palace, it would really be a symbol of "Tai Chi"...

If "Yuan Di" is really a special world opened up by the Taoist "Tai Chi", then this palace is equivalent to being "blessed" by the Taoist, right?
The Queen chose to heal her wounds here in order to utilize the "Tai Chi" connotation here and use the "Yang from Yin" to give birth to a glimmer of life in the concept of "death" in her mind?
Wait! According to this theory, she always drags me to take a bath together, maybe it’s not just because I have the true meaning of “Taichu”, but also because I have the “Great Sun Star Raft”?

While Zhao Chen was thinking, he had already crossed the palace entrance, entered the hall, and subconsciously walked towards the bathroom in the bedroom.

But he stopped immediately, because the emperor and the empress were both in the hall at this moment, but they were sitting on either side, one was flipping through a book, and the other was casually fiddling with the guqin, as if they were strangers, each doing their own thing.

Zhao Chen greeted the Queen first, and after receiving her nod, he walked to the Emperor on the left.

He simply bowed, and without further ado, he took out a small "9X9" chessboard and handed it to the other party.

This chessboard is the "client" that carries some of the permissions of "Yao Chi Chess", and no matter what is done, it must be approved by the "chessboard" controlled by Zhao Chen.

The emperor took the chessboard and put it into his sleeve, then said expressionlessly: "Information about the 'candidate' is still being collected, and it should be delivered together with the temporary official position before you leave Beijing.

"We have quite a few of the materials and evil spirits you want in stock. I can give them to you first, and then you can go directly to Johnson to get them."

Johnson, the steward of the Imperial Household Department of Daxia, once hosted a dance party in Wuguan to entertain Zhao Chen, and gave Zhao Chen considerable financial support in the name of Mingxue's father's good friend.

Unexpectedly, this manager with Western ancestry also returned to Beijing.

Zhao Chen nodded and was about to say something when he heard the emperor continue, "I don't care about your affairs with the imperial concubine, but if nothing unexpected happens, I will be the emperor for another three to four years. During this period, it is best for you not to have children."

After a pause, he added, "Don't be too close in public."

"..." Zhao Chen was speechless. He suddenly felt that although the emperor's tone was flat and indifferent, the content of his words seemed a bit "humble".

Should we say that this Majesty really has no "humanity"? "Xuan Du Law Text" has done great harm to people!

He nodded subconsciously, and when he saw the emperor was about to turn around and leave, he quickly asked, "Your Majesty, do you know when 'Yuchan Zhenren' will be freed?"

According to his guess, Yuan Tong's clone was most likely tricked by the emperor's people.

"One day later." The emperor stopped and turned his head to look at him, "But he won't come to you before Ming Hongyi gets the 'Strange Mailbox'.

"The deadline is at most one month. If it exceeds this time, he will most likely be able to figure it out on his own."

In other words, I have less than a month of free time. On the day I sell the "Strange Mailbox" to King Liang, you will "reasonably" sell the location of the "Tianhe Goddess Picture" to Yuan Tong on the same day?
Although the emperor's words were not clear, Zhao Chen still understood what he meant. After watching the emperor leave the queen's bedroom, Zhao Chen walked to the right, intending to start today's "lecture" and consult the queen on some questions.

But just as he approached, he made eye contact with the queen who suddenly looked up.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Chen felt dizzy, as if a sense of time and space dislocation invaded his senses, making him somewhat unclear.

When this feeling finally faded away, Zhao Chen was already in the bathtub in the bedroom, with all his clothes taken off, completely surrounded by the pool water that was as dark as the night sky.

He rubbed his forehead, turned his head tiredly, and as expected, saw the queen who was also soaking in the pool beside him.

Although he couldn't see it clearly, Zhao Chen subconsciously compared the Queen in front of him with the one woven by the "Yaochi Chess" in the secret bathing pool.

The result is obvious. At least in terms of figure and temperament, Zhao Chen still thinks that the one in front of him is more charming.

"You seem to be thinking about something impolite?" The Queen narrowed her eyes, revealing a half-smile, quite ambiguous expression.

You hold my arm, and let it close to that soft mass, and you still expect me to think something "polite"? This is also thanks to my not being so angry today...

Zhao Chen complained in his heart, but on the surface he avoided the question: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to learn the piano first today?"

"You haven't been here for two or three days, and the 'Five Immortals Spiritual Qi' you have stored has run out. There's no point in learning it now." The Queen smacked her lips, "It's better to replenish it first."

No wonder I felt a little empty after entering the bath. You had already "sucked" me? This time, don't even ask for permission. I didn't even know...

Zhao Chen opened his mouth, but he had no way to deal with this "Shengxuan" master. After all, no matter how bad her condition was, he could not control it... What's more, he still needed her to withstand the calamity of "Yuantong".

Zhao Chen had no choice but to collect some interest and take advantage from other places, so he quietly leaned towards the Queen and took the initiative to talk about his experience in the secret realm. He also emphasized the "secret" about Emperor Gaozu mentioned by Elder Yue of the "Destroying the Law Sect".

The Queen didn't take it seriously after hearing this. She lowered her head and glanced at the unruly hand in the pool. She didn't react at all, but just smiled and said, "Ming Zhen has long reached the pinnacle of the 'Shengxuan' realm, and being tested is not something that has only happened recently... His mind is unpredictable, and no one knows whether he is really planning a breakthrough this time, or just another smokescreen."

It turns out that this is not a secret in the eyes of the real powerful... Zhao Chen was thoughtful and continued to ask: "Using... um, using the person behind 'Yuchan Zhenren' to test the existence of Gaozu, I wonder who it is?"

“There are many… but the most active ones must be those emperors from the early ancient times, or the ancient and prehistoric times.

“Although they have fallen into demonic states, if Ming Zhen were to prove his truth with the concept of ‘emperor’, they would probably not even be able to maintain their current state, and might even be degraded to great evil.

"In addition, the fundamentalist members of the 'Star Society' will probably have a big reaction. After all, the 'Star God' also occupied the concept of 'Emperor' in the past, and was called 'Purple Star Emperor' and 'Lord of the Stars'."
