Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

After losing the great eunuch Xu Xiaosi and his eagle dogs, the remaining forces of several hermit families were obviously not as good as the Meteorite Pavilion and other sects. They fell into a disadvantage in the fight and retreated steadily.

However, the other side lacking Star Four does not have an overwhelming advantage. If the two continue to fight, they will only lose.

"This group of people is really fighting among themselves, but when the foreign race invades, everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death. They don't even want to donate more money to send pensions to the fallen soldiers!"

"If I were the emperor, I would have to suppress them."

Jiang Qingyu didn't show up to help any party, and didn't have any thoughts of fishing in troubled waters, so she left the barren wood forest.

……

Dusk of the second day.

Jiang Qingyu's Yin body returned to the palace with a bunch of spoils.

Before coming to the palace, he first brought news to the servant girl Jing Zhe that he had obtained the Golden Elixir and that he had killed Xu Xiaosi and Xingsi, two Sunshine Realms. He went to Gong's house and destroyed the ambergris, hoping that Jingzhe could respond.

It's best to send someone to steal a plant of Ambergris, let yourself study it, maybe you can get some inspiration about raising dragons from it.

Ziyan Courtyard.

Today's big maid, Lichun, put on a blue dress, with a cinnabar mole on her forehead, her demeanor became a bit cold, but it added a bit of beauty.

At this moment, she was standing outside Jiang Qingyu's room door, listening to the snoring sounds coming from the bedroom, feeling very depressed.

Lichun originally thought that his son would do something after receiving Jiang Shan's support, but he didn't want to continue to sleep in the room all day long, even longer than usual!

"Unfortunately, I almost thought he was a Qianlong who had endured for many years!"

"Hmph, I see you are a sleeping bug!"

For this master whom he has served for 12 years, Lichun's inner feelings are actually very complicated.

She was originally a woman who was greedy for power, but she couldn't help herself and came to Ziyanyuan to be a maid. She hibernated for 12 years. While suppressing her heart, she also developed a strange feeling for her son.

The young master has a good personality, is handsome, and never covets beauty and does anything that crosses the line for him, but it's just too indisputable!

Don't fight for the throne, don't fight for fame, don't fight for martial arts, don't fight for anything!

It seems that he really gave up on himself!

A few days ago, when Gu Ergen and dozens of soldiers from the Green Sword Battalion came to Ziyan Courtyard to smash up the son's bedroom, Lichun actually hoped that they could find something strange.

However, the result was very disappointing. There was no hidden room in the young master's bedroom, and there was no trace of martial arts training.

Even though this bedroom had been searched thousands of times by himself, when Guergen and others left without finding anything, Lichun was still very depressed and disappointed.

however……

No one would have thought that there was a secret room thirty feet directly below Jiang Qingyu's bedroom.

The secret room is completely enclosed, there are no stairs, and no secret passages. The walls and top and bottom are supported by iron plates several feet thick, so outsiders can't find or enter.

At this time, Jiang Qingyu's yin body passed through dozens of feet of earth and rocks, and came to the secret room, counting the harvest of this trip.

"Jade Hairpin, Black Jade Bead, Moon Shooting Bow, Meteorite Arrow."

In addition to the above four treasures and the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, he left the remaining few bottles of medicines that were not expensive and a few hidden weapons that were not complete, and let the servant girl Jing Zhe deal with them.

"The jade hairpin is the relic of the former empress Murong's family. Back then, the empress Murong stabbed the former emperor to death with a jade hairpin, and she herself was buried with a white silk hanging from a beam. However, the Murong clan continued to prosper, and its head, Murongqian, was granted the imperial title The first king of Chu with a different surname, although he has no real power, has been hereditary to this day, honoring his ancestors."

"The former emperor is said to have touched the fifth innate dragon-raising realm. The poison on the jade hairpin can kill him. Obviously, it is no small matter, and its value is no less than a magical weapon."

"This thing suits me very well."

Relying on the strangeness of the yin body and the poison of the hosta, the current Jiang Qingyu even has the qualifications to threaten the innate fourth-rank star-picking realm!

There are three cabinets in the secret room, each cabinet is divided into five layers, and each layer is divided into dozens of small cabinets.

In the cabinet were stored some of Jiang Qingyu's most valuable trophies obtained from going out to fight for more than ten years.

He put the hosta box on the second floor of the first cabinet.

This means that the value of the hosta is second only to the items placed on the first floor.

"As for Mo Yuzhu..."

Jiang Qingyu looked at the round jade beads lying quietly in a wooden box, and thought:

"I thought it was a poison, but the pavilion master of the Meteor Pavilion also has a similar thing, which probably has a lot of origin. I can't solve the mystery of it for the time being, so I can only pay more attention to this thing in the future." clues."

"It's a pity that my strength is not enough, otherwise I can talk to the pavilion master who was born from the corpse."

This object has a certain relationship with the Dragon Raising Realm and the rebirth of the corpse, so Jiang Qingyu temporarily placed the Moyu Bead on the first floor of the cabinet, on the same floor as several priceless spiritual objects.

Then, he set his sights on the two divine weapons:

"The bow string of the Moon Shooting Bow is broken. Without the bow string, the value of the Moon Shooting Bow and the Starfall Arrow will be greatly reduced. I can only use it after I find someone to repair it in the future."

Jiang Qingyu stored the two magical weapons in two cabinets on the third floor, but after thinking about it, he took them out and put them together in a cabinet on the second floor.

Finally, he took out a jade bottle.

There is a nine-turn golden pill in the jade bottle.

Although Jiang Qingyu didn't know what the chaos in the palace was like now, it was not difficult to guess that the King of the North could not last much longer.

If you don't take the Nine-Turn Golden Pill in time, there may be chaos in the three northern states!

"It's time to meet your father."

Jiang Qingyu put the jade bottle into her bosom, and her yin body walked out of the secret room and returned to the bedroom, becoming one with her physical body.

Suddenly, the snoring stopped.

At the same time, a lazy voice came from the bedroom:

"Sister Lichun, go and tell Uncle Xu, I want to see my father."

Lichun, the big maid who was standing outside the door, heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she regained her spirits.

Son...

Could it be that he is going to have a showdown with the prince?

Chapter 37 Another sunken lake

Reject the Northern Palace.

The old housekeeper Xu Erhu has been in a bad mood these past few days, getting angry at every turn, and many servants and maids have been scolded and whipped by him.

When Lichun, the eldest maid of Ziyanyuan, saw him, he was reprimanding a new handyman:

"How many times have I told you? Except for Madam, Dr. Song and me, no one is allowed to go near Loquat Courtyard!"

"How did you manage to let the third lady almost break into the prince's bedroom?"

The handyman lowered his head, trembling all over, and timidly said:

"Well, that's Miss San, how dare I stop her!"

No one in the entire Jubei Palace knew that the third miss, Jiang Qingzhu, was a girl with a man's heart. She liked to disguise herself as a man, wielding knives and guns since she was a child.

She joined the army at the age of 14, and has won countless battles without defeat. Now she is a seventh-rank Yunqi Lieutenant in the army, and she has an elite Qingqi team of 800 men, half of whom are iron-blooded women.

King Jubei praised the third daughter more than once for having the demeanor of his youth, and lamented that she was not a man.

Many people in Chu State believed that if Jiang Qingzhu hadn't been a daughter, then she must be a strong contender for the position of son.

"Uncle Xu, the third lady drew her sword at that time, she can really cut people in that posture, I..."

"How can I stop it!"

The handyman was very wronged.

He had only been here for a few months, and it was really lucky that something like this happened in the palace.

But Xu Erhu doesn't care so much, he only knows to abide by the rules of the palace, and if someone fails his duty, he will be punished:

"Go and get ten thorn whips yourself. From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to the Loquat Courtyard. Instead, go and guard the Ziyan Courtyard."

The handyman nodded quickly, as if he was about to receive an amnesty.

Even though the punishment of ten thorn whips would definitely bruise him, he could be transferred away from the Loquat Courtyard and go to the Ziyan Courtyard, which is relatively quiet and less troublesome.

Especially at this juncture, the servants and maids of the palace are all in danger, and the Ziyan Courtyard that no one cares about is the place that almost everyone wants to go.

Xu Erhu snorted coldly, looked at Lichun who had just arrived here, and immediately put on a smiling face:

"Lichun girl, you came just in time."

"This person will be handed over to your Purple Mist Academy. If he commits another crime, tell me and I will order him to sink into the lake!"

Hearing the word "Shenhu", all the servant girls couldn't help trembling.

Including Lichun.

Xu Erhu is a congenital second-rank Haoyue realm master, his status in the palace is second only to the King of the North, and he is in charge of supervising all the servants and maids. He usually has an amiable face, but once someone breaks the rules, he will see him The cruel side.

Especially in these special days recently, two of his servants have been sunk in the lake by him in public.

"Uncle Xu..."

Li Chun lowered his head and said neither humble nor overbearing:

"My son wants to see the prince, can I arrange it?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Xu Erhu's eyes:

"The fourth son wants to see the prince?"

How could that idiot who shut himself up in his room all day long to sleep would suddenly want to see the prince?

Since the eldest lady and the eldest son went to the capital 12 years ago, hasn't the relationship between the father and son been at odds?

Xu Erhu pondered for a moment, then said:

"My lord is ill. Dr. Song said that he needs to rest for a while, and no one is allowed to disturb you. If the fourth son has anything to do, you can tell me first, and I will pass it on to the lord."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Chun sneered inwardly.

When will your son have to get your consent to see Lao Tzu?

The more you don't let the young master see the prince, the more you have ghosts in your heart!

In the past, it was fine if the young master didn't argue, but now that there is finally a sign of a fight, I have to push him for anything.

Otherwise, I will have to be a servant in Ziyan Courtyard for the rest of my life!

Thinking of this, Li Chun's eyes were gradually firmly occupied.

She raised her head suddenly, looked straight into Xu Erhu's gaze without fear, and bravely said:

"Uncle Xu, what do you want to discuss with the lord, my lord, how can I wait for the servants to dare to ask?"

The implication is obvious:

Don't forget your identity, you and I are servants, according to the rules, you are not allowed to meddle in the prince's family affairs.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the servants and maids present changed drastically.

How dare this woman speak to Xu Erhu in such a tone?

Aren't you afraid that he will find an excuse to sink directly into the lake?

"Lichun, presumptuous!"

An old servant rebuked:

"How did you talk to Uncle Xu?"

"Quickly kneel down and admit your mistake!"

Xu Erhu looked at Lichun with a smile, and there was no trace of anger on his face, but those who knew him knew that it was a sign that he was brewing anger.

But Lichun was not afraid.

She has had enough of a dull life, if life can't be exciting, then she might as well just die!

"I'm right, why did you kneel down?"

"My son has not seen the prince for half a year, so what if we meet?"

She bravely looked directly into Xu Erhu's gaze, without any hesitation:
