Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 477 Heaven kneels, Earth bows...

Emperor Yuanjing coughed up blood in a sorry state, glaring hatefully at Gu Qing and Luo Yuheng.

As the victim, Emperor Yuanjing, when he intervened to stop his concubine's infidelity, was naturally driven by a sense of justice, acting as a righteous ruler against evil. However, he was injured by Gu Qing and Luo Yuheng, suffering a great humiliation.

"Are you OK."

Luo Yuheng sat in Gu Qing's lap, tenderly cradling Gu Qing's face.

"I'm not hurt."

After shaking his head, Gu Qing put an arm around Luo Yuheng's slender waist and asked, "Are you injured?"

Luo Yuheng gently shook her head.

Emperor Yuanjing watched the two of them being affectionate and completely disregarding him, and his eyes grew even more fierce.

At this moment, Gu Qing turned his gaze to Emperor Yuan Jing. The two looked at each other, and the more they looked, the sharper Gu Qing's gaze became, making Emperor Yuan Jing feel a chill run down his spine, as if Gu Qing could see through his internal organs.

"That's a bad person!"

Gu Qing pointed at Emperor Yuanjing and said decisively.

"Bad guy?"

Emperor Yuanjing was not surprised by this assessment, but Luo Yuheng found it quite interesting.

"This is our current emperor."

Luo Yuheng asked with great interest, "Is he really a bad person?"

His Majesty?

Emperor Yuanjing tried to get up. As an emperor, he was forced to the ground by this despicable couple, and could only watch them hug and cuddle while they sat in chairs and judged him. It was not just a loss of dignity for him, it was a complete loss of dignity!

"bad!"

Gu Qing stared at Emperor Yuanjing and said seriously, "He is the kind of person whose sins are heinous and unforgivable."

Luo Yuheng looked at Emperor Yuanjing with a half-smile.

"Bastard!"

Emperor Yuanjing was about to get up in anger, but then he saw Gu Qing lower his eyelids and exude a Confucian aura of righteousness. In this pure, masculine, strong, and upright aura, Emperor Yuanjing vaguely saw a tall figure.

"The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue, to love the people, and to stop at the highest good."

"Things have their roots and branches, and affairs have their beginnings and ends. Knowing what comes first and what comes last is to be close to the Way."

"Those in ancient times who wished to manifest their virtue to the world first governed their own states; those who wished to govern their states first regulated their own families..."

"From the emperor down to the common people, all must regard self-cultivation as the foundation. It is impossible for the branches to be well-ordered when the foundation is disordered. It is unheard of for someone to value what is valued while neglecting what is neglected. This is called knowing the foundation; this is called the ultimate knowledge..."

Every word shone with light, carrying immense weight; every passage of scripture contained a grand vision. At this moment, Emperor Yuanjing felt that he was not standing in front of Gu Qing, but rather had transcended time and space to stand before a supreme Confucian sage. Countless beings echoed the same sentiment deep within their souls, and Emperor Yuanjing was the tyrant who betrayed everything, condemned by all.

"boom!"

Emperor Yuanjing's knees buckled, and he knelt before Gu Qing at that moment. The ground around the Taoist temple seemed to crack faintly, and at the center of all this was Emperor Yuanjing.

"call……"

At this moment, Gu Qing, pale-faced and "weak," leaned against Luo Yuheng's chest and said, "Quick, tie him up."

Luo Yuheng's eyes were full of surprise. He never expected that Gu Qing could unleash such power. What he didn't expect was that Gu Qing alone could suppress Emperor Yuanjing. Now, seeing that Emperor Yuanjing's aura was weak and his primordial spirit was scattered, Luo Yuheng reached out and tied a rope, which naturally floated over and completely bound Emperor Yuanjing.

"How should this person be punished?"

Luo Yuheng asked Gu Qing with gentle eyes and brows.

"Of course they must be killed!"

Gu Qing gritted her teeth and made a firm statement, then rubbed her temples, looking weak and listless.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yuheng slightly parted her red lips and breathed a sigh of relief for Gu Qing. For a moment, the two were stuck together. Only Emperor Yuanjing, who was bound to the ground, felt that he had suffered the greatest humiliation of his life.

The sticky sound gradually faded away, and the room returned to silence.

A young Taoist boy's voice came from outside the door, announcing, "The Princess Consort of Zhenbei wishes to see you."

In this Great Feng world, there are many beauties, but if we talk about the most beautiful woman in the world, it is the Princess of Zhenbei. She is the reincarnation of the ancient flower goddess, and naturally carries spiritual essence. If one can harvest her spiritual essence, it will be of immeasurable benefit to a cultivator.

The current emperor is not Emperor Yuanjing, but Emperor Zhende. He used the Taoist method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" to possess the bodies of Emperor Yuanjing and Prince Zhenbei. He cultivated Taoism as Emperor Yuanjing and did things as Prince Zhenbei. In terms of the distribution of women, Emperor Zhende assigned Luo Yuheng to Emperor Yuanjing's body and Mu Nanzhi, the most beautiful woman in the world, to Prince Zhenbei's body.

Whether it was Luo Yuheng or Mu Nanzhi, in Emperor Zhende's eyes, they were both his women.

Hearing the noise, Empress Joan of Arc held her breath for a moment. Then, Luo Yuheng reached out and the ropes binding her turned naturally, pulling her into a box next to her. After she was locked up, Mu Nanzhi came in from outside. When she saw Gu Qing and Luo Yuheng, who looked at her intimately, she quickly covered her eyes with one hand and said, "Oh dear, I've come at the wrong time."

Luo Yuheng looked at Mu Nanzhi with a smile and said, "Perhaps, you've come at just the right time."

Gu Qing seems to be "deficient" at this moment, while Mu Nanzhi has the essence of the Flower Goddess within her body. Perhaps the interaction between the two can make up for it.

Under Luo Yuheng's introduction, Gu Qing and Mu Nanzhi gradually became acquainted. The three of them sat together chatting and laughing, while the young Taoist boys and maids brought out wine and dishes.

As for Emperor Yuanjing, he was inside the box at that moment, listening to the joyful atmosphere outside.

This warmth and liveliness were shattered by Zhao Shou.

The sudden appearance of this place, after all, the presence of Confucian righteousness at the Taoist temple, Zhao Shou had to come and see. However, when the box was opened and Emperor Yuanjing, bound by ropes and with a pale face, appeared before Zhao Shou, Zhao Shou couldn't control his emotions for a moment.

"What's going on here?"

Zhao Shou looked at Gu Qing seriously.

Bound and captured the current emperor alive; this is not something that can be resolved by simply pleading guilty.

"He's a bad person."

Gu Qing said with innocent eyes.

Bad guy...

Zhao Shouman was speechless. Throughout the world, many people knew that the current emperor was a tyrant, but few expressed it as bluntly as Gu Qing.

"He is not yet Emperor Yuanjing."

Gu Qing continued.

These words immediately made Zhao Shou serious. He looked intently at Emperor Yuanjing on the ground, but after looking at him, he couldn't see anything unusual.

“We can use the power of Confucianism to interrogate him.”

Gu Qing said, "Once the truth is revealed through interrogation, a conviction can be made."

Gu Qing had already suppressed Emperor Yuanjing's righteous spirit with the power of Confucianism. Now, by interrogating him with Confucian principles, Emperor Yuanjing could no longer suppress his secrets and was able to speak the truth. Emperor Yuanjing's face was ashen. He already felt incredibly cowardly, but after hearing Gu Qing's words, he regretted not having remained a complete coward. If he had seen Gu Qing and Luo Yuheng flirting from the beginning and turned a blind eye, leaving quietly, he would certainly not have ended up in such a predicament.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Feng Dynasty.

Gu Qing was escorting Emperor Yuanjing inside the palace when Wei Yuan hurriedly arrived. Seeing Emperor Yuanjing's dejected appearance and Gu Qing's pale face, Wei Yuan's expression changed drastically after hearing Zhao Shou's account. He thought of the diligent Emperor Yuanjing of yesteryear and the current Taoist emperor.

"then who are you?"

Wei Yuan looked at Emperor Yuanjing with a complicated expression.

Back then, Wei Yuan and Emperor Yuanjing worked together seamlessly, and the two of them once again brought prosperity to the Great Feng Dynasty. However, because of the Empress's affair, Emperor Yuanjing neglected state affairs and devoted himself to Taoist cultivation. Wei Yuan always believed that he was partly to blame for this, but now it seems that there are other twists and turns.

At this moment, the Empress, Consort Chen, Huaiqing, and Lin'an arrived. They saw the Emperor bound, Gu Qing and the Imperial Preceptor standing together, and Zhao Shou and Wei Yuan on the other side. They quickly stepped forward to inquire about what had happened.

“These people are going to rebel.”

Emperor Yuanjing said in a deep voice, "Quickly proclaim this to the world."

The Empress and Consort Chen remained motionless, their beautiful eyes scrutinizing Emperor Yuanjing from head to toe. Logically, after so many years of marriage, they should have noticed something amiss. But unfortunately, the Empress had loved Wei Yuan, and Consort Chen had loved Xu Pingfeng. Neither woman's true feelings were for Emperor Yuanjing, so they couldn't see anything amiss now.

“Gu Qingchun is kind; there must be a reason why he said that.”

The Empress said calmly.

Just trust Gu Qing and that's it.

Emperor Yuanjing's eyes darkened as he looked at Consort Chen.

"Let's get started, Dean Zhao."

Consort Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing's gaze gradually darkened. His years of planning had come to naught the moment he met Gu Qing.

Why would God send me such a nemesis?
Interrogating Emperor Yuanjing was a major event. Wei Yuan went to the Imperial Observatory and invited the Director. Meanwhile, the night watchmen's organization suddenly went on martial law. Xu Qi'an, who was originally in the night watchmen's organization, saw Gu Qing and tentatively approached her. Gu Qing then led him into the palace.

Under interrogation by Zhao Shou and the Directorate of Astronomy, Emperor Yuanjing, in a daze, revealed everything he had done.

After recounting how Empress Joan of Arc had possessed the body, and how the Prince of Zhenbei wanted to sacrifice people, and how he had secretly run a human trafficking organization to prolong his own lifespan by killing people, the palace fell silent.

"How to say?"

Zhao Shou looked at the supervisor.

After the revelation of Empress Zhen De, the Prince of Zhenbei, as one of Empress Zhen De's primordial spirits, immediately rebelled. On the other hand, Xu Pingfeng was also eyeing the situation covetously, and the Great Feng Dynasty suddenly became precarious.

The supervisor glanced at Gu Qing silently, turned his back, and left calmly. As far as the supervisor was concerned, Gu Qing's presence was not surprising at all.

"Leaving now?"

Zhao Shou lowered his eyes, then turned around and looked at Gu Qing. The supervisor's last gaze was on Gu Qing.

"We have no choice but to fight them!"

Gu Qing gritted his teeth and said, then gently rubbed his head, seemingly feeling dizzy, "It's a pity that I used up too much energy to suppress Emperor Joan of Arc, and I can't use any strength now."

The Empress and Consort Chen both stepped forward, looking at Gu Qing with concern.

"Then this is the only way forward..."

Luo Yuheng held Gu Qing's hand and said softly, "We'll help you recover."

What recovery?
How to help?
Xu Qi'an was puzzled, then watched as Luo Yuheng brought the Princess of Zhenbei, who was escorting Gu Qing, and walked towards the inner palace. Xu Qi'an stepped forward to ask, and from Wei Yuan's few words, he learned that the Princess of Zhenbei possessed spiritual essence, and if she could cultivate with Gu Qing, both of them would receive great benefits.

For now, this can be considered a temporary measure.

Xu Qi'an listened and felt that it should be so, but something still felt off, that all of this was too coincidental.

"Really."

Princess Lin'an said with dissatisfaction, "Brother Gu Qing is such a simple person, yet he is going to be ruined by those two women."

Waste?

Xu Qi'an looked at Princess Lin'an, his eyes filled with surprise.

"The expedition to preserve the beginning is a testament to fearlessness; a single brave warrior charges into the nine armies. Even those who seek fame and can control themselves are like this, let alone those who govern heaven and earth, govern all things, reside directly in the six limbs, are like the ears and eyes, know only what is known, and whose hearts have never died! They will choose a day to ascend the throne, and people will follow. Why would they be willing to concern themselves with material things!"

Princess Huaiqing said calmly.

This is a chapter from Zhuangzi's "De Chong Fu," which describes people who treat their bodies as lodgings and are extraordinary and detached from worldly affairs. People will naturally follow them, and such people don't care whether they are attractive to others or not.

Xu Qi'an was shocked to hear this sentence. He felt that all the past "discords" had finally been proven. While Gu Qing was indulging in debauchery in the harem, Xu Qi'an stood guard outside the harem and waited quietly. He ignored all the situations outside. Finally, after a day and a night, Xu Qi'an saw Gu Qing walk out of the harem.

"Give me an explanation."

Xu Qi'an reached out to stop Gu Qing, his eyes reddening.

"What statement?"

Gu Qing's eyes were wide open, and she looked very innocent.

"Stop pretending!"

Xu Qi'an was almost going crazy. As a transmigrator, he had been writing poetry in brothels and showing off his chemistry in the Imperial Observatory. He always felt that he was unique, so he always had a sense of superiority over the people in this world. Now, he suddenly found another transmigrator next to him, which made him feel ashamed.

"Qiao Ling'er, Little Li Flying Dagger, Spirit Rhinoceros Finger, Five Spirits Return to Origin, you've been showing off by my side all this time. I've taken all of these as coincidences, but Zhuangzi's Virtue is Complete, this can't be a coincidence, can it?"

Xu Qi'an asked in a frantic manner.

"Hmm...that could be true."

Gu Qing blinked and said with a smile.

Seeing Gu Qing's unmasked expression, Xu Qi'an felt his guess had been confirmed. He grabbed Gu Qing and said angrily, "So you've been playing me all along!"

Every time he tried to woo a girl, Gu Qing would cause trouble for him, whether it was making him die in the brothel or letting his horse ride a mare. Thinking about it now, Xu Qi'an was about to explode.

"Now, tell me, who exactly are you?"

Xu Qi'an stared wide-eyed and asked.

"Heaven kneels, earth bows, and humanity perishes with a single hand..."

Gu Qing calmly recited the poem.

"Still pretending..."

Xu Qi'an was speechless.
