After the sound of the bell, Nishang Liu lay on the bed. She did not even have the strength to move and soon fell asleep.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was still full of fighting spirit, not even a trace of fatigue. Even his own strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The total volume of his Genuine Qi had more than doubled, which was equivalent to Zhu Houzhao's ten years of cultivation.
The new Genuine Qi in his body was not only pure and dense, but it also cleansed Zhu Houzhao's meridians and strengthened his root bone. It also seemed to have strengthened Zhu Houzhao's ability in that aspect by several times.
After fighting for more than half an hour, he didn't feel tired at all. This was something unimaginable for Zhu Houzhao in the past.
Looking at the exhausted Nishang Liu, Zhu Houzhao was proud of himself, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel very distressed.
Niching Liu definitely couldn't cooperate anymore. If she continued to play, she would be ruined.
But what should he do? He was neither up nor down.
" Elder sister, younger sister came uninvited. I hope…" At this moment, a woman in gorgeous clothes walked in. She was Zhu Houzhao's concubine, the niece of the current Prime Minister Cai Jing, Cai Qianxun.
Cai Jing was the Prime Minister of the Ming Empire. He had power in the court and colluded with Cao Zhengchun. He was powerful both inside and outside the empire. He had the Thirteen Yuan Limits under him, one of the few peerless masters in the Ming Empire. If Zhuge Zhengwo had not founded the Divine Constabulary to fight against him, Zhu Budian and the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa might not have been able to resist the alliance of the two forces.
It was also because of the presence of Cai Jing and Cao Zhengchun that Zhu Budian had maintained the mask of loyalty on the surface. He did not dare to reveal any intention of rebellion. Otherwise, Zhuge Zhengwo would be the first to not join him. At that time, Cao Zhengchun and Cai Jing would have the opportunity to break them apart.
Two good and two bad. This was the balance of power on the surface of the Imperium. The loyal forces of Zhu Bujue and Zhuge Zhengwo and the crafty forces of Cao Zhengchun and Cai Jing who persecuted the loyal and honest were like fire and water, but they were evenly matched. The Emperor was in the middle, maintaining the balance.
The complicated network of relationships in the capital was woven with these two huge forces as the center.
Any department or agency of value, two groups of power, were competing with each other. Even the two concubines of the Crown Prince's residence were like this. The main and secondary concubines were also people from two different factions.
After all, Zhu Houzhao was the Ming Crown Prince. If there were no accidents, he would be a stable Emperor in the future. At that time, the current Crown Prince Consort and Secondary Consort, not to mention the Empress, would at least be a Noble Consort. Sometimes, things like pillow wind were much more useful than the imperial court's advice!
Imperial Concubine Liu Nishang was from Empress Zhang's maiden family and had a high chance of becoming the empress in the future. Naturally, she spoke in favor of the imperial relative Zhu. Cai Qianxun was Cai Jing's niece. It would be easy for her to become an imperial consort in the future. She would definitely speak up for Cai Jing.
When the two girls were in the Crown Prince's Residence, they had always been jealous of each other. They were so angry with each other that even Zhu Houzhao was helpless. After all, they were both concubines. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't chase both his wives out!
It was also because of this that the original Zhu Houzhao did not like to be brought around in the Crown Prince's residence.
Cai Qianxun's eloquence was cultivated by the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing. It was far better than Nishang Liu, who was born from a noble family. Therefore, although Nishang Liu was the main consort and had a higher status than Cai Qianxun, she had always been at a disadvantage in the battle with Cai Qianxun.
Today, Cai Qianxun had originally planned to come to the Crown Princess's room to provoke Niching Liu again. After all, Niching Liu's identity as the Crown Princess had always made Cai Qianxun bear a grudge.
However, Cai Qianxun did not expect to see such a scene as soon as he entered the door.
Looking at the tattered clothes scattered all over the ground, Cai Qianxun knew what she had just experienced.
Cai Qianxun was instantly stunned and forgot to continue.
Cai Qianxun did not expect that this vase would be favored by the Crown Prince again. She was burning with jealousy, but on the surface, she still had that bright smile on her face."So Your Highness is here too! Did Qian Xun interrupt His Highness's good time? If that was the case, Qian Xun would leave now.”
Cai Qianxun's words were filled with bitterness and a hint of sourness.
Of course, Cai Qianxun was deliberately showing off her jealousy. She knew very well that men sometimes liked their women to be jealous because it would make him look very attractive and make women fascinated by him.
Of course, although Cai Qianxun said that he wanted to leave, his body was the opposite of what he said. He was approaching Zhu Houzhao.
Cai Qianxun even had a thought in his heart. Completing the task that Nishang Liu couldn't complete would make His Highness the Crown Prince dote on him even more.
This was also the most common way for women to fight. However, in the subsequent battles, Cai Qianxun deeply understood how naive she was.
Zhu Houzhao had lived two lifetimes, so how could he not know what Cai Qianxun was thinking? However, he did not care. As long as the women around him didn't betray him, a strong man would be willing to play some tricks.
" Qianxun, what are you talking about?" Zhu Houzhao's lips curled into an evil smile." I'm not disturbing you. You came at the right time."”
