Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"I see."

Luo Qingqing's expression was not disappointed. Even if the two loved each other very much, she couldn't bear the thought of them being together every day.

The Prince of Qinghe had his own grand ambitions and aspirations.

Luo Qingqing also has things she wants to do.

"Can I still be a constable?"

She hasn't become the number one detective in the Great Zhou Dynasty yet, how can she retire from the criminal world?

"Of course you can. His Highness has said that you can do whatever you want. It's just that you can no longer use the identity of Luo Qingqing from now on."

Luo Qingqing could become a constable, or even the number one constable in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the Princess of Qinghe is not an option.

"Great! After I finish learning from my grandparents, we'll resume my great career as a master detective!"

Luo Qingqing is someone who can easily find happiness on her own.

She had negative emotions, but they disappeared quickly.

In Li Changqing's words, the little girl was easy to coax.

This point is particularly important to Li Changqing.

He didn't want his future queen to be someone who was unreasonable or someone who kept all her thoughts to herself.

Not only was the other person tired, but he was tired too.

A couple may not spend a lot of time together, but they must be happy.

Wang Guodong originally thought that the Prince of Qinghe was just being overly concerned.

Even if things were different, Li Changqing wouldn't send a mere bodyguard at the Free and Unfettered Realm.

This is, after all, the capital. Even the Duke of Qi's mansion and the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion wouldn't dare to act too recklessly.

But soon, his opinion changed!

When the World Society opened, the eldest grandson of the emperor personally delivered congratulatory gifts.

The person in charge of the World Society is ostensibly the former steward of the Prince of Qin's mansion, but in reality, he is Li Changqing's sworn brother.

This means that Li Changqing is the mastermind behind the World Society.

The World Society brought together two major forces: the Canal Gang and the Beggar Gang.

They also opened branches in all the prefectures and counties throughout the entire Great Zhou territory.

This means that their reach has extended throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, enabling them to gather intelligence on the entire Great Zhou.

Apart from the imperial court, no similar force has ever appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Especially on the Beggars' Sect side, Golden Dragon Hero Chen Changfeng is currently enjoying great popularity.

Based on the strength he displayed at this martial arts tournament.

Chen Changfeng is fully capable of leading the Beggars' Sect to become a significant force in the martial arts world.

He has no need to rely on anyone.

But he did choose to submit, and not to the Prince of Qin's mansion, but to Prince Qinghe, Li Changqing.

Those eyeing the position of Princess Qinghe quickly took action.

While still in the Minister's residence, Luo Qingqing was attacked twice.

They openly wanted to kill the person first, to solve the problem once and for all.

It wasn't until Granny Gongsun intervened that those people calmed down.

The Minister's residence alone is simply not enough to protect Luo Qingqing.

Even though Luo Qingqing's father is Luo Haoyang, the number one expert of the Six Doors, a sword immortal of the Great Freedom Realm.

They didn't take those people seriously.

It wasn't until they realized that Luo Qingqing had been protected by secret guards at the Free and Unfettered Realm for a long time.

This was clearly not the work of the Luo family or the Minister's residence; usually only core members of the royal family could receive this treatment.

Not to mention that the two are not married yet.

Even if they get married, Princess Qinghe will not have a powerful expert at the Xiaoyao realm protecting her.

Who sent this person?

It's clear at a glance.

No one dared to have any ulterior motives towards the people that the Prince of Qinghe wanted to protect.

Neither the Duke of Qi's mansion nor the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion made any further attempts to probe.

Since the position of the princess was untouchable, those people turned their attention to the concubine.

Prince Qinghe was not a prince, so his concubine was not a high-ranking second-rank concubine, but just an ordinary third-rank concubine.

Logically speaking, someone in such a position would be completely beneath the notice of powerful and wealthy families in Kyoto.

Besides the emperor's concubines, they would send their own daughters to princes or dukes as concubines.

It was a disgrace to those families.

But now, those noble and wealthy families seem to have completely forgotten their family reputation.

They set their sights on the positions of the two concubines and began a new round of competition.

The legitimate daughters of the Marquis of Sanyang's family are all on the list.

You should know that, purely in terms of status, that person is even higher than Luo Qingqing, the principal wife.

Even the collateral branches of the Duke of Qi's mansion and the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion seem to have developed a great interest in the positions of the two concubines.

When Luo Qingqing received the news, she was only happy for a moment.

"That brat Murong Yao actually wants to be a concubine? Will she have to pay her respects to me every day from now on?"

Madam Gongsun shook her head, "According to the rules of the Prince's Mansion, it's on the 5th and 10th of each month. We pay our respects every 5 days..."

The Prince's residence is so large; if you had to pay your respects to him every day, I doubt anyone could stand it.

Moreover, the rules for paying respects are different from those of ordinary residences.

But there was no need for Granny Gongsun to explain these things.

"Auntie, what's wrong with them? They're usually as proud as peacocks, but now they've lost all shame and are rushing to become concubines?"

Luo Qingqing was genuinely curious.

"Of course, it's because of power!"

Before Gongsun Da Niang could answer, the eldest son of the Minister's mansion sneered, "Qingqing, you don't understand what the World Alliance truly represents. I really can't understand why His Majesty would allow such a force to exist. Let me put it this way: even if the Prince of Qinghe cannot inherit the throne in the future, simply by relying on the World Alliance, he is still the uncrowned king of the entire Great Zhou!"

"The Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion has painstakingly built its fortune over many years, and the Duke of Qi's mansion has deep roots. What they couldn't do, the Prince of Qinghe actually accomplished."

The Uncrowned King!

Although he may not be as powerful as a real emperor in name, in terms of power, the Prince of Qinghe may very well have more power than the emperor in the future.

What he can accomplish, even His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to accomplish.

"Speaking without restraint!"

Wang Guodong glared angrily.

His eldest son is good in every way, except that he's a bit clueless.

How could he possibly say such things?

If this gets to the ears of someone with ulterior motives, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause?

"The Prince has become that powerful? Doesn't that mean His Highness Prince Qin..."

Luo Qingqing realized this too late.

"We have no need to worry about the affairs of the imperial family."

Even the Ministry of Personnel was affected, not to mention the Prince of Qin's residence.

Princess Nangong Ya of Qin led the children back to the palace.

The princes and princesses of the royal palace soon learned about Li Changqing's matter.

They confronted the Crown Prince's residence and established the World Society.

After a year of silence, Li Changqing suddenly seemed to have unlocked a cheat code, and did these two things in quick succession.

The two imperial grandsons, who were originally registered under the name of the Princess of Qin, suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.

When they left the Prince of Qin's residence, they were still considered top candidates for the position of heir apparent, with the potential to one day rule the world.

When they returned, the entire Qin Prince's mansion had changed.

Prince Li Changqing of Qinghe has become the de facto successor of the Prince of Qin's mansion.

He has taken over nearly a third of the real power in the Qin Prince's mansion.

Even Bai Wushuang, who used to have little presence, now dares to act arrogantly in front of the two real imperial grandsons.
