Chapter 57: The Throne Is Passed to the Crown Prince and He Takes the Throne

When the female official heard Wu Yi's excuse, her eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed. Wu Yi felt a chill in his heart and cursed in his heart: damn woman.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Wu Yi had to succumb to reality under the pressure of power and hurriedly said: "There are still some guesses."

After speaking, the chill stopped rising, but it did not disappear. Wu Yi understood that the female official was waiting for him to continue, but what could Wu Yi say? He, a small Qi-refining cultivator, really didn't know why the Jindan Zhenren would look for him. There were many people with higher cultivation than him, and there were many senior brothers and sisters who had practiced in the inner sect for a period of time and were above the fourth transformation; he didn't deliberately manage these in terms of power, and those disciples who valued his potential took the initiative to tell him; in terms of potential, Wu Yi's qualifications may be rare, but what's the use now? If he can't become a Jindan, how can he be in their eyes.

There was no way. Feeling the chill rising again, Wu Yi had to combine the information he knew with the female official's previous questions and answers.

"I heard that the prince is going to let the queen give up power after the birthday banquet." The cautious Wu Yi tried to speak calmly so as not to anger the female official. In fact, the prince wanted to seize the queen's power. This news was known to everyone in the capital. After all, Emperor Gengshi was old, but the prince only took the title of regent and ignored the current affairs. People just didn't know when His Royal Highness would take action. The possibility of taking action at Emperor Gengshi's birthday banquet was the greatest. After all, it was the prince who asked for a grand ceremony in the name of filial piety. With more people, it would be easier for the prince to attract external help.

Obviously, such a follow-the-crowd answer would not satisfy the female official, whose face was still full of frost. Wu Yi looked up at the female official and continued: "I heard that the prince invited the ancestor of the Ping family to preside over justice."

The female official snorted, and although she was dissatisfied, she did not refute. Wu Yi immediately understood that if it came to strength, the female official was still inferior to the old Taoist with white eyebrows. In fact, this was the truth. If the female official's own strength was enough to subdue the Ping family, why would the queen seek external help? Breaking all laws with one force is the truth.

External help. Wu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. He was considered an external help from somewhere, but other possibilities were even more impossible. Maybe the queen wanted to make friends with Wang Chuchen, but Wang Chuchen was thousands of miles away. It was useless to ask for help from afar.

Wu Yi then said with a stiff face: "The prince invited the old ancestor, and the queen felt it was inappropriate, so she also wanted to find some assistants." Wu Yi was nervous when he said this, and secretly glanced at the female official. Seeing that her face was normal, he continued: "Wang Chuchen, the master of Liucheng Yiqi Taoist Temple, has already reached the level of half-step Jindan among all the masters in the country, and has the hope of advancing. The queen thinks he is suitable."

What Wu Yi wanted to say in his heart was that you can't even solve a Jindan, so what's the use of Wang Chuchen's half-step Jindan, isn't it just a waste of time.

To Wu Yi's surprise, the female official nodded and approved Wu Yi's words, threw Wu Yi a jade talisman, and said: "Give this to Master Wang after returning to the mountain gate."

Wu Yi felt like he had received a hot potato, but he still had to take it, and said that he would definitely hand it over to Wang Chuchen intact.

The female official waved her hand and released a blue light. Wu Yi was surprised to find that the originally dark stone wall suddenly opened a door. Seeing that the female official had stepped into the door first, Wu Yi endured the pain all over his body and followed in.

There was nothing else in the three-meter radius except a stone table in the middle and a sandalwood box on the stone table.

The female official stretched out her slender jade fingers, picked up the sandalwood box, and said to Wu Yi: "There is a foundation-building pill in it, and I think you can't use it. I see that you have mastered the three transformations, but you just lack the accumulation of mana. In addition, there are nine great return pills in the box, which should be more useful to you."

The female official changed so much in a moment, and she made plans for Wu Yi in a gentle voice. Wu Yi couldn't believe it. He took the box in panic and forgot to say thank you.

After walking out of the azure gate, Wu Yi was still dumbfounded and couldn't believe the change of the female official. When the female official saw Wu Yi like this, her eyes narrowed and she suddenly asked Wu Yi: "What did you do here?"

Just like the cold wind of December, Wu Yi shuddered and said reflexively: "I got a foundation-building pill."

The female official smiled and nodded with satisfaction, saying: "The foundation-building pill is also a treasure, don't disclose it easily."

At this time, Wu Yi suddenly remembered something and asked: "If the master asks who sent the jade talisman, how should I answer?"

The female official concentrated on thinking for a while, "Just say it was sent by the queen's sister Shu Yunyun."

Wu Yi's question was not redundant. Although Wang Chuchen could understand who meant it as soon as he saw the jade talisman, since the queen wanted to win over Wang Chuchen, she must show her sincerity, and who contacted was a very important link. If it was a nobody, Wang Chuchen would inevitably think that the queen lacked sincerity and didn't want to continue. And Shu Yunyun was undoubtedly more sincere after revealing her identity.

Shu Yunyun, what a pity for such a good name. After hearing Shu Yunyun's answer, Wu Yi remembered her previous brutality and shook his head.

Shu Yunyun saw Wu Yi shaking his head, and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"So you are the queen's sister, and you are still so young, it's unbelievable." Wu Yi sighed at his own wit.

Facts have proved that even if it is a golden elixir, women will subconsciously ignore their original focus when they hear others praise her. Shu Yunyun snorted, with a bit of pride in dissatisfaction, and walked in front like a peacock.

Wu Yi slapped his face with his hand, feeling that the face he had been born to now was completely lost today.

"What are you still doing? Staying for too long will make people suspicious." Shu Yunyun's voice came from the front.

"Got it." Wu Yi agreed, and the spiritual energy circulated around his body to drive away the coldness in his body, and he hurriedly followed.

But Shu Yunyun was obviously still dissatisfied with Wu Yi's speed. Wu Yi had no choice but to say that he was just a minor Qi practitioner, how could he dare to compete with Jindan Zhenren in terms of speed? Shu Yunyun did not ask for too much, but put two balls of blue light on the soles of Wu Yi's feet.

With the blessing of blue light, Wu Yi seemed to be walking on no ground, unable to feel the resistance of the ground, and his speed was much faster. At the turn ahead, Wu Yi wanted to stop, slow down and change direction, but he couldn't control the inertia of his forward movement at all. He couldn't dodge and crashed into the wall.

A silver bell-like laughter came from behind, and Wu Yi said with a black line on his face: "If I go out with scars all over, I'm afraid others will be more suspicious."

Shu Yunyun shook her head and thought for a while, and said: "That's right." Then Wu Yi's whole body was covered with blue light. Wu Yi felt as if he was wearing a layer of ice armor, and a bang bang sound was heard when he struck with his hands. Although it was hard, it still sounded like a bang. It's really cold, as if it's covered in ice and snow, turning into an ice sculpture.

Wu Yi had no choice but to continue moving forward, but since Wu Yi's flexibility decreased even more after putting on the ice armor, if he continued to move forward as before, although he would not be injured, bumps and bumps would be inevitable, so he also considered Instead of using the exposure technique, I released Zhen and let him walk in front. I used Zhen's vision to observe the direction and slowed down in advance to avoid another collision.

"You actually raise ghosts." Shu Yunyun deliberately teased Wu Yi, but Wu Yi cleverly avoided it and was very surprised that Wu Yi released the ghosts.

"Did Master Wang Guanzhu teach you this technique?"

"This ghost is very spiritual and has good skills."

…

After Xu completed the task assigned to her by her sister, she relaxed and became more lively. She kept asking Wu Yi questions, but Wu Yi would not forget his previous cruelty because of this, and the content of her questions was actually They are all related to Wang Chuchen. The key point is to ask Wu Yi about Wang Chuchen.

She was so upset that she couldn't think of any other explanation. Moreover, even if the truth was told to her, Shu Yunyun might not believe it, so Wu Yi said that the "Feng Duo Lu" given by Black Beetle was given by Wang Chuchen.

Not hearing Shu Yunyun's entanglement for a moment, Wu Yi turned around in surprise, but happened to hear a faint voice from his mouth: "Shangzhen's disciples are extraordinary." There was a bit of envy in his tone, but more of it was lonely, but for some reason Wu Yi Yi felt a bit resentful.

Wu Yi originally thought that Shu Yunyun came from a famous family. After all, she is the queen's sister. She is considered to be at most forty years old. Forty-year-old Jindan. For details, please compare Wang Chuchen's ancient half-step Jindan. Wang Chuchen is Wu Yi. Of course, the figures of his grandfather's generation cannot be underestimated in the eyes of ordinary people. For monks, they can only build a foundation and live for two hundred years. In the eyes of monks, Wang Chuchen is actually still young and strong when he is seventy years old.

Being able to enter the golden elixir at the age of forty, Shu Yunyun could not be a casual cultivator anyway. Recalling the vague resentment in his voice before, as well as his current identity, Wu Yi gradually began to make assumptions in his mind.

Perhaps the preface stimulated Shu Yunyun, and he was speechless all the way. When he was about to reach the door, Shu Yunyun removed the blue light from Wu Yi. The feeling of walking without ground disappeared. Wu Yi was still a little disappointed for a moment, but he quickly recovered. After all, it is not your own strength, so you cannot expect it to exist forever.

It was strange that there was no one on duty inside the inner treasury, but a large number of people were placed outside to monitor it. Wu Yi could only explain it by saying that the Taoist priests and warriors invited by the royal family were worried about stealing.

Back outside, Ge Yiyi and the others were still waiting there. Shu Yunyun returned to his aloof and cold demeanor in an instant, said a simple goodbye to Wu Yi and the others and left.

"Wu Yi, what treasure did you get?" Seeing Wu Yi come out, Ge Yiyi asked curiously. Senior Sister Jiang was also curious, wanting to know what treasure Wu Yi got by himself, and it was so mysterious.

Thinking of what Shu Yunyun said before about not revealing that he had obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, Wu Yi thought about it. In fact, the pattern that was restored after the aura collapsed was the appearance of the Foundation Establishment Pill. The two of them only needed to draw the pattern and show it to others. Not wanting others, he told the truth about the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"It turns out to be a Foundation-Building Pill. I heard that this substance can help people open up acupoints, connect meridians, and enter the Foundation-Building realm." Senior Sister Jiang talked about the efficacy of the Foundation-Building Pill like a barrage of words, and finally looked at Wu with envy. Yi.

"I just heard that if you use the Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve Foundation Establishment, the acupoints will be unstable and the meridians will be weak, making it difficult to see the upper state." Ge Yiyi frowned when he heard this.

Wu Yi immediately understood why Shu Yunyun said that he might not be able to use it. After understanding the Tao Yun, he pointed directly at the golden elixir. Why did he need these external objects, and his own path to progress was in vain.

"It's not a bad thing if you don't need to use it as a gift. Who doesn't have an incompetent child?" Senior Sister Jiang smiled awkwardly and pointed out another use for Wu Yi.

Wu Yi smiled kindly and didn't say much. This thing was useless to him, at least for now, so he didn't need to think too much about it.

After receiving the reward, Wu Yi and the other three returned to their residence in the Taoist Temple in the capital city. There were only a few people here, all of whom had gone to watch the ceremony and had not yet returned. Wu Yi was happy and leisurely. He closed the door. Once he finished today, he would set off tomorrow. Back to the mountain gate, I just don’t know how the fight between the queen and the prince will end.

That night, the old Taoist priest with white eyebrows entered the palace and spoke to Emperor Gengshi for more than an hour. Outsiders did not know what he said, but tonight an imperial edict came out from the palace. Emperor Gengshi said that he was too old and sick to take the throne, and passed the throne to the prince. However, he added a sentence at the end that if there were no judges on military and national affairs, the queen would decide.

An era has ended in Dayu.

When the news came out, in the East Palace, the prince silently read the letter for a long time, sighed, and finally took off his fully armed armor. He was surrounded by equally fully armed soldiers, especially the general on his left hand, who had a clear mark of the Shenwei Army. The Shenwei Army was another Beisi army patrolling the imperial city tonight, and this general was the general of the Shenwei Army. Once the prince gave the order, the imperial city would be in flames.

But the prince still lost the confidence to march into the imperial city and force Emperor Gengshi to change the edict and not let the queen be regent. After all, the throne was in front of him. As long as he endured for a while, the forces that expelled the queen could rule smoothly without adding a bad reputation of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

But was it really as simple as the prince expected?
