Martial Way of the Heavens

"Haha, Wu Xinrou, you are satisfied this time." The imprisoned woman laughed.

Queen Wu waved her hand and asked the guard to retreat. Huo Luo took out a chair from the storage ring and placed it behind Queen Wu.

"I didn't expect that your Concubine Zhen is from the Tianlei Dynasty." After sitting down, Queen Wu motioned to Huo Luo to go outside and guard her, because her communication with Concubine Zhen was not suitable for others to know.

"It's you who are stupid, it should be said that Zhou Lu is stupid." Concubine Zhen's face was full of smiles.

"You don't have to laugh, the emperor did not fall, he was just severely injured." Empress Wu's voice was calm.

"Not dead? Wu Xinrou, don't lie to me. I saw with my own eyes the sword in his Dantian and heart." Concubine Zhen's expression changed. Because Zhou Lu was not dead, she had been lurking for countless years in vain. As for Wu Xinrou, she was Wu Xinrou. The queen's name is hidden.

"Do I need to lie to you? The emperor was seriously injured, but Emperor Wu appeared in time and stabilized his injuries." Empress Wu said.

Concubine Zhen's face turned cold, "What if he is still alive? I caught his bad roots, and the power of the dark realm invaded. He is destined to be useless."

"Did you exert the power of the Dark Realm? This is beyond my expectation. He is useless, but so what, Da Zhou is still Da Zhou." Empress Wu did not deny what Concubine Zhen said.

"You should be happy. I know that you dislike him from the bottom of your heart and have no feelings for him. Wouldn't it be just what you want to get rid of him? You are also very sad. You are the mother of a country, but you can't act like a normal woman." Zhen. The concubine laughed again.

"You don't need to gloat over misfortune. I have been mentally prepared for this for a long time." Queen Wu shook her head.

"You're cruel, that's why you can be the queen and the others are at best concubines!" Concubine Zhen exhaled. Compared with Empress Wu, she was furious and at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

After a moment of silence, Empress Wu looked at Concubine Zhen, "I don't understand why you suddenly took action. I don't think now is the best time."

"Why? Because there is no hope, Zhou Lu is a waste. He uses countless rare resources but has no hope of understanding the charm of the Tao. He begins to give up on himself... I think it is impossible to improve myself through dual cultivation with him. Since It's impossible, why should I let him play with it in vain?" Concubine Zhen yelled.

"You are the imperial concubine and his woman. How can this be called teasing?" Empress Wu frowned.

"Zhou Lu is not a human being. Other concubines and imperial concubines can get pregnant and have children, but not here. He said that women who have given birth to children have changed their minds and will not allow me to get pregnant and have children. I can only be like him "Toy!" Concubine Zhen roared hysterically, perhaps because she had been suppressing it for too long.

"I understand you! Do you have any requirements?" Empress Wu looked at Concubine Zhen. She understood some things now. Zhou Lu could be said to have brought it upon himself.

"My cultivation level has been imprisoned, and there is no possibility of biting my tongue to commit suicide. I know that this prison is not a good place. If a woman comes in, regardless of her previous identity, it is impossible to escape unscathed. These low-level scum have not shown their strength now. Ya, it's because this matter is still in the limelight, and they will turn into beasts later, so please give me a break." Concubine Zhen looked at Queen Wu and said.

"I will arrange this later so that you won't be trampled on." Queen Wu nodded.

Concubine Zhen nodded to Empress Wu, expressing her gratitude.

Queen Wu got up and left. She came here just to know why Concubine Zhen did this. Now she fully understood that since Concubine Zhen was honest and honest, she would let Concubine Zhen die with dignity.

After leaving Tianlao, Empress Wu looked at Huo Luo, "Arrange for someone to send Concubine Zhen on her way. Don't let anyone know that we did it."

Huo Luo nodded, she would take care of this.

Returning to the inner courtyard of the palace, Empress Wu made a pot of tea with her own hands, then retreated to the left and right, thinking alone.

"Zhou Lu, aren't you a waste? If you can't understand the rhyme of Taoism, you have no value at all. Concubine Zhen despises you, and so do I." Empress Wu said to herself.

Two days later, Concubine Zhen committed suicide in fear of the crime. It is said that she regained some strength, and then bit her tongue and committed suicide. Because she had not been convicted yet and it was not easy to publicize, Empress Wu still gave her a grand burial. This matter came to an end, but Zhou Lu A big price was paid.

Zhou Yuanxing has risen to prominence among the princes. He helps Zhou Yuanshuo manage the security of the imperial capital, and his presence in the court is getting stronger and stronger. Zhou Yuanshuo supports him. He is also the legitimate prince, so it is reasonable for Shunfeng to ascend to the throne.

Zhou Yuanshuo walked around the Imperial Guard that day. When he returned to the mansion, he met Emperor Wu.

"Yuan Shuo has met the emperor's grandfather." Seeing Emperor Wu, Zhou Yuan Shuo bowed in greeting.

"Get up! Yuan Shuo, don't you understand what Grandfather means? Your father has fallen, and Grandfather arranged this for you to seize power. Although you are not a crown prince now, you have the strength and real power to take over in the future. It’s logical,” Emperor Wu Zhou Zhentian said.

"Yuan Shuo knows what the emperor's grandfather means, but Yuan Shuo feels that it is not necessary. Take the emperor's grandfather as an example. He is not the current emperor, but isn't the sky of this great Zhou still under your control? My grandson is not strong enough now. , but I feel that it is not far away from entering the Great Saint Realm. After practicing for a few more years, Yuan Shuo will be able to carry half of the sky of the Great Zhou. No matter who becomes the emperor, the Great Zhou will be stable; if Yuan Shuo If Shuo is lucky enough to enter the realm of quasi-emperor and great emperor, he will become the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty just like his imperial grandfather." Zhou Yuanshuo bowed and said.

"What you said makes sense, but when you should seize power, you must seize power. Don't count on your father in the future. He was able to get the support of the ministers in the past. It may have something to do with his weak character. An emperor with a weak character is better. Wait!" Emperor Wu sighed.

"Grandfather, the situation is just a temporary passive situation. This situation will pass soon." Zhou Yuanshuo said.

"Well! Since you have no intention, I will not make any arrangements for Queen Wu. No matter how ambitious she is, she cannot shake the power of our Zhou family. Even if she supports Zhou Yuanxing to rise to power, it is our Zhou family." Emperor Wu Zhou Zhentian He spoke.

"The Queen is very capable. It is reasonable for her to support her son to ascend to the throne. Emperor Yuanxing has a pure character. He lacks some wildness and murderous nature. This can be tempered." Zhou Yuanshuo said good things for Zhou Yuanxing, because Emperor Wu Once opposed, Zhou Yuanxing would not be able to ascend to power.

"Well, please pay more attention to the Wu family. As long as the queen doesn't wantonly develop the Wu family's power, leave her alone." Zhou Zhentian explained and left.
