The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 732 Ghostly Behavior
"Yes!" The eunuch named Cao responded respectfully and was about to leave.

But at this moment, the sound of a piano suddenly came from afar. The sound was long, sad and lingering, which made people unable to get rid of it and lingered in their hearts.

Even though Cao Nei Shi had a heart as hard as iron, he was reminded of the sad things from his youth and felt sad for a moment.

However, he quickly came to his senses, realized his loss of composure, and hurriedly apologized to His Majesty... But before he could open his mouth, he heard suppressed sobs.

Eunuch Cao looked up in surprise, and then saw that Concubine Ning had buried her head in His Majesty's chest and sobbed softly.

The emperor himself showed a look of struggle, and his expression changed back and forth with the rise and fall of the piano music.

"Your Majesty?" The eunuch named Cao couldn't help but shout when he saw this.

His Majesty the Emperor then sighed, shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "That's it!
"After all the scheming and scheming, he even forgot his original intention..."

He paused, looked at the eunuch named Cao, and ordered again: "The previous order is postponed, and the next plan will start in three days."

Although the eunuch named Cao was a little confused, as the emperor's confidant, he would not go against the emperor's decision. Moreover, there was nothing wrong with having three more days of preparation time, so he answered "yes" again.

After the eunuch left Ningyue Palace, Concubine Ning gradually stopped crying. She looked at her husband with her red eyes and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, will this affect your plan?"

The emperor embraced his lover, who was as cool as jade, and gently stroked the silver hair on her back, smiling and comforting her: "It doesn't matter, a day earlier or later actually doesn't make much difference.

"I was wrong before. For some ridiculous reasons, I let Xiao Meng stay in danger after entering the capital. I even prevented you and Xiao Meng from meeting each other, which made you sad...

"Alas, the reason why I planned so hard was because I wanted to see your smile. Now, in order to plot against that person, I made you sad. This is really putting the cart before the horse.

"I will make arrangements tomorrow and try to have you and Xiao Meng meet the day after tomorrow."

Ningpin leaned in the arms of her beloved, listening to his words, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly said: "How can I blame you?

"That person put too much pressure on us, so we have no room to make mistakes. We have to be extremely cautious with every step..."

She paused here, and then said with some worry: "Is it really okay? If that person notices my willfulness..."

Before Concubine Ning could finish her words, the emperor pressed his finger on her lips and said, "You have to believe in your man.

"We were able to beat him ten years ago, and we can still beat him ten years later!
"And I just reflected on my previous plan, and suddenly felt that I was too hasty in some places. Maybe it would be better to slow down a bit..."

As he spoke, His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and listened quietly to the piano music coming from the direction of the Queen's bedroom.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Ning said no more and leaned in the man's arms, enjoying the peace that might have been limited.

……

Behind the Queen's bedroom, on top of a towering observation deck that overlooks the entire harem, Zhao Chen sat cross-legged in front of the zither platform, plucking the strings of his zither, playing a sad tune in the lonely night:
“Boom~Boom…”

The sound of the zither spread far away with the night wind, causing countless people in the palace to lose their minds, then become sad and cry out. Zhao Chen's original zither skills were extraordinary, and his "Five Immortals' Spiritual Qi" was quite compatible with the music. Coupled with the blessing of the Queen's ancient famous zither "Duyou", the effect of this song was surprisingly good, and even the unfathomable Queen in front of him was in a trance.

When the song ended and the lingering sound faded away, Queen Zhong clapped her hands and praised, "I thought your piano skills must be outstanding to win the favor of Qing Ling, but I didn't expect it to be this good.

“It seems to evoke the deep sorrow in one’s heart, but it is also a way to soothe the pain and heal the heart.

"Even someone like me..."

At this point, she stopped talking and said, "Very good, if you can teach me how to play this piece of music, then no matter what questions you want to ask, as long as I know them, I will tell you."

Although Zhao Chen wanted to get information from the queen, he knew the details of his music, so he carefully explained: "My queen, the reason why the music I played can achieve this effect is because of the characteristics of my true energy..."

Before he could finish, the Queen interrupted him and said, "I know, 'The Spiritual Qi of the Five Immortals' has some connotations of 'The Spiritual Sound of the Five Directions to Control Demons'. That's not a problem."

As she spoke, she suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Chen without any warning, then stretched out her finger to lift his chin, pursed her red lips, and sucked hard.

Zhao Chen only felt that his magic power suddenly boiled up, and then like a flood breaking through a embankment, it broke through the mouth and continued to flow out, and was sucked into Queen Zhong's mouth.

In just one breath, the magic power and true energy that he had worked so hard to cultivate was reduced by nearly one tenth.

Fortunately, the queen did not go too far. At this time, she changed "inhale" to "exhale", and sent a ray of eerie, cold, yet pure and vast vital energy from Zhao Chen's mouth into his inner world.

As soon as it entered, it entangled with the blue dragon energy left by the empress in Zhao Chen's body, achieving a strange balance.

The Queen then let go of Zhao Chen and said with a smile: "The vitality that Dan Fei left for you has been dissipating on its own, which is a pity. I used my 'vitality' to help you seal it up for a while, just as a reward for taking away some of your magic power.

"Well, my 'vitality' carries the meaning of 'death', which is opposite to Dan Fei's 'life'. Some of the side effects they bring to you just cancel each other out.

"When you cross the third ladder of the Divine Power Realm, or the 'Dongxuan' Realm in the future, you will know the benefits contained in these two 'vital energies'."

Then I have to thank you... I was planning to use the "Dragon Gun" to release that energy and give Feng Qing a hard blow, but now there's no chance.

Otherwise, the two energies would be out of balance and I would be attacked back immediately.

The only good news is that with this vitality, I don’t have to worry about the problem of “having children” anymore…

It was truly a ghostly act!
Zhao Chen smiled and thanked him on the surface, but he was already cursing in his heart. There was one more person added to his future "revenge" list.

As if seeing through Zhao Chen's thoughts, the Queen raised the corner of her mouth, snorted, and continued: "The vitality I gave you has another benefit, that is, within the scope of the capital, I can locate you at any time and provide you with remote assistance.

"You can also communicate with me simply by using your 'spiritual consciousness' to touch my vital energy... Of course, this is also within the scope of the capital.

"If it's farther away, I won't be able to sense it in my current state."
