Chapter 790 Cave Mansion
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Yuchun, help him settle down.”

Li Yuchun looked at Li Miaotan.

Li Miaotan said, “Give Mr. Lu a yard and don’t neglect it.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Li Yuchun responded crisply, “Mr. Lu, follow me!”

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward and patted Lu Haoyuan: “Take a good rest, and come back to see me tomorrow.”

“I’ll take my leave.” Lu Haoyuan clasped his fists.

The acupuncture points all over his body were instantly unblocked, and he was able to move freely again.

Li Miaotan’s phoenix eyes flickered.

Li Yuzhen’s cultivation was far superior to his, and the sealed acupoints were able to be unsealed in an instant.

It can be seen that his true essence is pure and is not inferior to Li Yuzhen.

But there is obviously a gap between the two people’s realms. Why is that?
As far as she knew, Li Yuzhen had already reached the third level.

After experiencing the fierce fighting in the battlefield outside the domain, he reached the third level, which was the limit of his improvement in a short period of time.

The practice in the Venerable Realm is too difficult. Compared with the chasm that follows, the first three levels are relatively easier.

But the first three turns are easy only relative to the last six turns. Compared with the state of mind, the difficulty increases by no less than a hundred times.

Li Yuzhen is at the third level, how could he possibly reach that level in such a short time?

Then he thought of Chu Zhiyuan’s ability to practice Tianlongyin.

Maybe he wasn’t at the third level, but Tianlong Yin had made his true essence more refined.

Lu Haoyuan left with Li Yuchun.

Fan Yaohui said solemnly: “Your Highness, what should we do?”

“Don’t do anything for now.” Li Miaotan said.

Fan Yuxuan asked, “Aren’t you keeping an eye on that place?”

“Don’t worry.” Li Miaotan shook his head: “Don’t alarm them.”

Fan Yaohui frowned and said, “Just pretend it never happened? I don’t mind, but in the court…”

“That depends on father,” said Li Miaotan.

Once the Fengtian Palace knew about it, my father would also know about it. Whether the court was peaceful or not depended on just one word from my father.

My father doesn’t want to calm the situation down, so there’s no point in saying more.

“Your Majesty…” Fan Yaohui murmured.

He recalled the emperor’s expression at that time.

As usual, he had a blank expression on his face and just listened calmly to the arguments of the court officials.

This is the emperor’s usual expression, and it is impossible to tell whether he is happy, angry, sad, or cheerful, or whether he has any inclination.

“This is the case for now. Don’t worry about the eldest and second brothers for now.”

“But what about the Yuanzhen Dynasty?” Fan Yaohui snorted, “Just let it go like this?”

Li Miaotan said: “Everything is in accordance with the will of the emperor. The emperor is wise, so don’t act on your own!”

Fan Yaohui nodded helplessly.

Li Miaotan glanced at him and shook his head.

This Fan Yaohui is so stupid no matter how much I try to persuade him. It’s really helpless.

Fan Yuxuan hurriedly said, “Brother, just follow His Highness’s instructions.”

“I understand.” Fan Yaohui nodded.

He had a keen intuition and was like a fish in water in the military, but when it came to the court, he was clumsy.

The best way is to follow the orders of the Twelve Princesses and do as they say.

The Twelfth Princess would never harm herself no matter what, and it would be impossible for her to find a confidant more loyal and reliable than herself.

–

Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan sat down at the stone table in the pavilion.

Fan Yaohui and Fan Yuxuan both left, and the worshippers also withdrew.

There were only Li Yuzhen and Fu Zheng in the courtyard.

Li Yuchun is settling Lu Haoyuan.

The surroundings became quiet.

The green bamboo in the corner of the wall rustled and swayed gently in the wind.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: “Seeing these green bamboos, do you feel something?”

Li Miaotan raised her eyes and looked at him.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed: “Just like these green bamboos, they originally wanted to be quiet, but the wind didn’t want them to stop.”

“It’s because of me.” Li Miaotan said, “Big Brother and Second Brother don’t want me to get married.”

“Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?”

“It doesn’t matter if I get married, but don’t activate the Phoenix bloodline.”

“The news has reached their ears.”

“Yes.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, “Do they have spies in the mansion?”

“Yes.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: “The battle for the throne here is much more intense than our Yujing.”

The throne of the Yujing Dynasty was based on the system of primogeniture.

There is no problem with the eldest prince, so it belongs to the eldest prince.

Unless the eldest prince is unteachable, or has a violent and eccentric temperament, he is not suitable to be the emperor.

Otherwise it is difficult to change.

Chu Liechu, the eldest prince of the Yujing Dynasty, was a man of extraordinary talent, kind disposition, and decisive actions, making him worthy of being an emperor.

Therefore, the fight for the throne in the Yujing Dynasty was nothing more than a minor dispute.

It would be more accurate to say that the second prince and the third prince were fighting for status rather than the throne.

Not every prince will be granted the title of prince.

Whoever has stronger cultivation and greater talents will be able to occupy a high position. Those with weak cultivation and poor talents will not be able to handle important tasks and will naturally have a low position.

Li Miaotan said softly, “The moment you step into Phoenix Imperial City, you enter a battle. You should have this awareness.”

“Yes…” Chu Zhiyuan sighed: “Warfare and aggressiveness are the spirit deeply rooted in the bones of the Phoenix Dynasty.”

Li Miaotan smiled and said, “You have a deep understanding of this sentence, right?”

“I understand that very well.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: “Among the three dynasties, Phoenix’s dominance is not a fluke.”

Li Miaotan said: “This time, they are coming for us. How can we keep getting beaten without fighting back?”

Chu Zhiyuan was cheered up.

He has always had this intention.

Rather than passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative and strike first to make the other party embarrassed and unable to fight back. Li Miaotan said: “I have prepared a big gift for my eldest brother and second brother, so that they will have no time to watch our wedding.”

“What kind of gift?” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, “Unless it involves the throne, it will be difficult to control their spirits, right?”

“I sneaked out this time just for this great gift.”

“Cave?”

“That’s right!” Li Miaotan looked at him in surprise. She didn’t expect that he would guess it right at once.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Let’s see if they are tempted.”

–

Early in the morning, Chu Zhiyuan left the princess’s mansion and strolled on the street.

Two people followed behind him.

One is Fu Zheng, who is dressed in green and has snowy skin.

The other was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance, Lu Haoyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan walked calmly, taking one step that covered more than ten feet. He did not even use any lightness skills, but walked leisurely among the noisy crowd.

Fu Zheng and Lu Haoyuan used their Qinggong skills to follow and came to the second floor of a restaurant.

The seats on the second floor are separated by green plant stands, so you can see each other and the noise from below can be heard faintly.

Find stillness in movement, find movement in stillness, and balance movement and stillness.

Chu Zhiyuan pricked up his ears and shook his head after listening to a few words.

Fu Zheng had already ordered the dishes and sent the waiter away. She asked curiously, “Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: “No movement.”

“What’s the noise?”

“The movement in that ancient cave.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Fu Zheng said: “It can’t be that fast, isn’t it just leaked?”

She also knew Li Miaotan’s plan.

Li Miaotan found a cave in an ancient book, and he personally explored it and found the cave.

It was an ancient cave, said to be related to the gods.

The two words “God Clan” are enough to drive everyone in the Phoenix Dynasty crazy.

Especially the eldest prince and the second prince.

The reason why Li Miaotan has her current status and can be compared with several princes as a princess is because she has a trace of divine blood.

The founder of the Phoenix Dynasty possesses the blood of both the Phoenix and the Gods.

In terms of the level of bloodline, the bloodline of the gods is the best in the world, and the bloodline of the phoenix is ​​inferior.

The Phoenix bloodline has two phases, visible and invisible, and can be stimulated through magical techniques to make the invisible become visible.

The bloodline of the gods is innate. If it is there, it is there. If it is not there, it is not there. It cannot be stimulated.

Taizu had the blood of both the Phoenix and the gods. Only a few of his descendants could inherit both bloodlines, but anyone with both bloodlines would become a sage monarch.

That is why Li Miaotan’s status is so high.

It’s a pity that she is a princess. If she was a prince, she would be the destined heir to the throne and no one else would have to fight for her.

Therefore, no prince could refuse the cave that was related to the gods.

There is only one person in the world who can sense the existence of this cave, and that is Li Miaotan.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

When Li Miaotan talked about this cave, he felt curious and impulsive.

I have inherited the divine text. If I enter this cave, will I gain anything?

……

Chu Zhiyuan said: “It started to spread yesterday, and it should have spread by now.”

When it comes to the gods, not only the princes cannot resist, but also any citizen of Phoenix Imperial City cannot resist.

So there should be heated discussions.

But now there is not a single discussion about it, as if no one has heard of the news.

“…It’s indeed a bit strange.” Fu Zheng nodded.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Haoyuan.

Lu Haoyuan was looking down in deep thought.

“Mr. Lu, what do you think?” Fu Zheng asked.

Lu Haoyuan looked up and said embarrassedly: “Maybe someone deliberately blocked the news.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “What do you mean?”

Lu Haoyuan said: “Since the two princes are very interested, they definitely don’t want too many people to know about it, which would cause complications.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: “It seems that the First and Second Princes have a strong control over the market.”

Fu Zheng snorted, “With so many mouths, how can we possibly block them?!”

Lu Haoyuan said: “Manager Fu, it’s actually not that difficult. As long as you are well-informed, you can seal the mouth in time. Once it is sealed, it will not spread.”

“How well-informed does that have to be?”

“In fact, there are so many people on the street asking for information. It’s not as difficult as imagined.” Lu Haoyuan said.

Fu Zheng frowned.

Since Lu Haoyuan said so, it must be true. Can he really do this?
Lu Haoyuan said: “It is more difficult to block the news than to spread it. It seems that the two princes have managed the imperial city very well.”

Fu Zheng snorted, “Did they directly break your highness’s plan?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, “This is also an open conspiracy. It can’t be broken no matter what. The truth cannot be hidden. They can block it for a while, but not for long.”

When the time is right, we can send someone to expose it deliberately. Now is not the right time.

Thinking of this, he looked at Fu Zheng and said, “Let the people from Qianji Tower keep an eye on it first.”

“Yes.” Fu Zheng nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Mr. Lu, can Yuanzhen find out the news?”

“Yes.” Lu Haoyuan said, “And he will definitely take the opportunity to stir up trouble.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, “What will you do?”

“It is very likely to intensify the secret fight among the princes, or even lead to murder.”

“Yuanzhen…” Chu Zhiyuan sighed, “These methods are really unique.”

Yuanzhen is best at conspiracies and intrigues, and likes to win by being cunning and treacherous.

If the news of this cave is spread, I wonder how many forces and figures will be alarmed.

It will inevitably lead to bloodshed, and countless people will die.

I have to say that Li Miaotan can be very cruel when he gets angry.

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: “I heard that the eldest prince of the Yujing Dynasty was assassinated!”
