Chapter 216 Someone has to be the emperor
Jiang Cheng and Liang Hong came to the entrance of Miaoren Palace.

"Is anyone here?"

When the maid from Miaoren Palace saw that it was Liang Hong, she was surprised and confused: "Your Highness, King Chu? What kind of wind brought you here today?"

Liang Hong chuckled: "This friend of mine wants to see Concubine Shu. Please spread the word."

The maid took a look at Jiang Cheng and saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes but good-looking. He was probably not an ordinary person, so she said, "My lords, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

Miaoren Palace is much better than Jinyu Palace in terms of decoration and scale.

It can be judged from this that the status of Concubine Shu should be higher than that of Concubine Jin, Liang Hong's mother.

"Your Highness, who is Concubine Shu's heir?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the fourth prince. The mother of the fourth prince Liang Chu."

The fourth prince’s mother?

Jiang Cheng showed a surprised expression.

Liang Hong:?
"What do you mean?"

"real or fake?"

Jiang Cheng said seriously: "I would like to ask, what do you think of the eldest prince killing the fourth prince?"

Liang Hong's eyes widened: Didn't I just tell you not to mention this?

"Jiang Cheng, as a senior, I sincerely advise you to learn to observe people's emotions when you go out."

Every time he talked about a knowledge point, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized.

Liang Hong was shocked: "Shh! Keep your voice down! If we were the characters in the story telling stories in the teahouse, if you talk like this, we will definitely not survive for two days."

When Liang Hong saw Concubine Shu coming, he quickly pulled Jiang Cheng up to salute.

Jiang Cheng and Liang Hong used Jin Fei's Jin Yu Palace as the center of the circle and visited the concubines around Jin Yu Palace one by one.

Jiang Cheng said: "Don't worry, Third Highness, I know what's going on."

Why is it that things that even concubines and capable ministers can't do are so easy for Jiang Cheng to say?
"Yeah. Next one."

Liang Hong grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm, his face full of suspicion.

Jiang Cheng didn't answer the question: "The 'bitch' that Concubine Shu mentioned should be the eldest prince's biological mother, the Queen, right?"

The maid led Jiang Cheng and the two of them to a small pavilion in the palace garden, where they were served with tea and water.

Before Liang Hong could start to explain, Concubine Shu glared at Jiang Cheng and the two of them and left without looking back.

Jiang Cheng said calmly: "Thank you, senior, I just noticed your emotions."

As long as Jiangcheng doesn't open any pot and touches the fourth prince when he comes up, Concubine Shu should not chase them away.

The reason why it didn't splash into Jiang Cheng was because after Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he took a step back in time and protected Liang Hong in front of him.

Liang Hong waved his hands quickly, "No, it's not..."

Is his previous "method of meeting Emperor Liang" reliable?
"His Royal Highness King Chu, this young master is invited by my wife."

Concubine Shu said angrily: "Did that bitch send you to spy on me?"

Liang Hong explained: "That's not true. Concubine Shu is the daughter of the duke. Her grandfather, father, and brothers all serve in the court. Concubine Shu's family has strong connections. Naturally, she doesn't need to look at other people's eyes in this palace."

Concubine Shu slammed the teacup on the table, and the tea flew out and splashed all over Liang Hong.

"No need to see anyone, what do you want from me?"

On the way, Liang Hong whispered to Jiang Cheng: "Junior Brother Jiang, Concubine Shu may be in a bad mood just a few months after the fourth child died. Please be careful not to get into trouble with her."

"Liang Hong has met Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu sat across from the two of them expressionlessly, picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.

After a while, a beautiful woman in plain clothes and a cold face came over.

The problem is, what he talks about is some basic knowledge, the kind that even the palace maids know. What's so surprising about this?
Why do you feel like Jiang Cheng is a little not very smart?

Liang Hong didn't even bother to ask Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng asked strangely: "As the saying goes, a Taoist mother is more valuable than her son. The fourth prince is uneducated and incompetent, but the Miaoren Palace is luxurious. Is Concubine Shu actually so favored?"

The maidservant who had been informed before ran back and invited Jiang Cheng and Liang Hong into the palace.

At the entrance of Miaoren Palace, Liang Hong sighed.

"see a visitor out!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at the sky and said, "If you move quickly, you should be able to see your father in less than two days."

Liang Hong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Perhaps because of the death of the fourth prince, Concubine Shu's clothes were surprisingly simple. She didn't look like a royal concubine in the palace, but more like the new ancient costumes worn by Liu Qing.

"explain."

"It's not that I'm looking for your Majesty. It's my junior fellow student, Jiang Cheng. He has a few questions that he wants to ask your Majesty to answer."

"I see."

Jiang Cheng's questions are often very efficient, and a few words can make the concubines smile downward.

You never have to worry about pulling, ink stains, or being stuck in your body.

"This is Wenrui Palace, the palace of Concubine Li. Concubine Li is the biological mother of the second princess Liang Lu." Liang Hong briefly introduced the background.

Jiang Cheng looked at Wenrui Palace and saw that the palace was as elegant and exquisite as Concubine Shu's Miaoren Palace, so he asked, "Are Concubine Li's family members also very powerful?"

"That's not true. Concubine Li was born into a poor family, but her appearance is outstanding and she is favored. This palace was rewarded to her by her father."

At this point, Liang Hong said happily: "Junior Jiang, you don't know, but Liang Lu's cultivation talent is the best among our brothers and sisters. Her mother is also favored, and her father will give her almost anything she wants. If it weren't for the woman As for his identity, the prince is probably in Liang Lu’s pocket.”

"Where is the Third Princess?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Third sister? There's nothing surprising about her. What are you asking her for?"

"Do you think the third princess can ascend the throne?"

"Impossible. Even if there are no princes like us, there is still Liang Lu. Even if Liang Lu is gone, there is still eldest sister. No one can take her turn."

Jiang Cheng just nodded, not sure whether he meant agreement or what he meant.

The three emperors' women are called "Daliang Duan Yu". If Jiang Cheng had not seen the plot, he would not have thought that the three emperors' women would ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor. But the truth is that bullshit.

Some people fight to the death, and some people wake up with yellow robes on their bodies and their destiny.

After a while, the maid from Wenrui Palace got the password from Concubine Li and invited Jiang Cheng and the two people in.

Concubine Li is indeed a rare beauty, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and graceful figure. The only drawback is that he is not very energetic and looks sickly.

"Please sit down. What do you want to ask?"

Concubine Li greeted the two juniors.

When Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, it was like Wang Zha: "Your Majesty, how long has it been since you slept with His Majesty?"

The veins on Liang Hong's forehead jumped sharply. He poked Jiang Cheng's arm wildly with his elbow, telling Jiang Cheng to stop talking, stop talking. Can this be asked?
Concubine Li's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at her personal maid in surprise.

"Why are you asking this?" Concubine Li said.

Liang Hong tugged on Jiang Cheng's sleeve and told him to pay attention.

But Jiang Cheng seemed to have no feeling at all and said directly: "I have read the records of the Hehuan Sect. About a year ago, Emperor Liang was keen on practicing the Hehuan Kung Fu."

"Cough cough cough."

Concubine Li coughed for a while, then waved her hand to retreat.

She looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "About a year and a half ago, my health began to deteriorate. Later, His Majesty took pity on me and let me recuperate. Since then, I have never slept with me again."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "It's almost as good as my guess."

Concubine Li smiled weakly and said, "If you tell me about your concubines in the harem, you will be punished by death."

Liang Hong quickly clarified himself: "This matter has nothing to do with me."

"I'm just joking. Your Majesty doesn't see outsiders now, and you don't know whether he's alive or dead. No matter how big the harem is, it's just a decoration."

"Do you want to see Your Majesty?" Jiang Cheng asked again.

"Do not want to."

Concubine Li's answer was very simple and she seemed to have no feelings for Emperor Liang.

Jiang Cheng was not surprised by this. After his visit, he found that most of the concubines in the harem had no feelings for Emperor Liang.

The attitude of many people is even a bit like clocking in to work.

However, not liking Emperor Liang does not mean that the concubines will not compare and fight.

The most intense battle in the harem at present is between Concubine Shu, the biological mother of the fourth prince, and the empress, the biological mother of the eldest prince.

The fourth prince is dead, and Concubine Shu cannot let it go. But the eldest prince is not dead, and the queen will definitely use her connections to help the eldest prince relieve his pressure.

Over and over again, the conflict between the Queen and Concubine Shu was almost impossible to reconcile.

The reason why the harem seems to be relatively stable is just because the judge, Emperor Liang, does not show up, and Concubine Shu and the empress do not have to use their strength.

Some concubines speculated that the reason why Emperor Liang did not show up was because he did not want to interfere with the affairs of the Queen and Concubine Shu.

However, after Jiangcheng's analysis, this speculation is untenable.

As early as the plant self-discipline period, Emperor Liang did not show up. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the fourth prince who later died because of the Will Empowerment Talisman. It can only be said that it has nothing to do with it. "Liang Hong?"

A pleasant voice sounded from behind Jiang Cheng.

Concubine Li looked happy, and Liang Hong suddenly turned around.

"Liang Lu?"

"Lu'er! Why are you back?"

Liang Lu walked to Concubine Li with a cold face.

"I'm on winter vacation."

Liang Lu was held by Concubine Li and hugged her affectionately, but the vigilance on her face did not weaken at all.

"Liang Hong, who asked you to come to my mother?"

"No, I'm just casual..."

Liang Lu looked unkind: "Liar. You blink often when you panic. Have you not gotten rid of this bad habit?"

Facing Liang Lu, Liang Hong could only smile awkwardly.

Although Liang Lu was his sister, he was no match for Liang Lu in terms of momentum.

At this time, Concubine Li came out to help Liang Hong: "Liang Hong just came to see me."

Liang Lu didn't believe it at all. She hit the nail on the head: "Mother, you should know what kind of character Liang Hong is. If he was fine, he wouldn't ask you whether he was helping the ants move. He came to see you specially today, or someone instigated him. Or I’m asking you to do something.”

"Cough cough."

Liang Hong could only cough a few times in embarrassment, because Liang Lu was right, without Jiang Cheng, he would not have come to see Concubine Li for eight generations.

"I asked the Third Highness to come down." Jiang Cheng said.

Liang Lu's eyes fell on Jiang Cheng.

This is a young man with a calm and confident temperament and a sunny and handsome appearance.

Judging from appearance alone, this person is very popular and makes people relax their vigilance.

But Liang Lu has never been a fan of appearance.

Living in the harem with his mother for many years, Liang Lu didn't trust anyone but his own cultivation and strength!
Passing the Qingxuan University and entering the Taixu Sect is the fastest way for female cultivators from the Liang Kingdom to pursue strength.

At Qingxuan University, Liang Lu only obeyed Lin Yao - because only Lin Yao had defeated her in the Luanxin Mountain assessment.

Later, when school officially started, Liang Lu took the initiative to contact Lin Yao and visited Lin Yao many times in private.

She was not an ordinary female cultivator who went to Lin Yao to go shopping and have fun. She came to Lin Yao to compete and learn from each other.

Liang Lu and Lin Yao fought many times.

At least with the same level of cultivation, she has never won once.

Although Liang Lu was not convinced, she truly respected Lin Yao. Lin Yao's desire to win was far beyond her reach. As for the seventh-level qi-training monk named Jiang Cheng sitting next to Liang Hong, he couldn't arouse even the slightest interest in her.

Liang Lu's criteria for choosing a mate are very simple.

Appearance, origin, family background, money, etc. are not required.

But you must be kind-hearted, a good person, abide by the law, and have a correct outlook on life.

Most importantly, powerful. It is best to be stronger than Lin Yao and be able to defeat her completely in repeated battles with her.

Liang Lu would not fall in love with a weak male cultivator.

And Jiang Cheng, who is white, clean, polite, and at the seventh level of Qi training, obviously belongs to this category.

Although she admitted that Jiang Cheng was quite handsome, that was all.

"What do you want from my mother?"

Liang Lu's tone towards Jiang Cheng was obviously better.

She doesn't know Jiang Cheng, so she will have basic courtesy.

As for Liang Hong, he is not worthy at all.

"Your Highness, this is how it is. The Emperor is in bed, and His Highness the Third Highness asked me to draw a talisman for treatment. But I don't know much about the Emperor's condition, and I can't see him for the time being. I can only learn about Emperor Liang through your mother's profile."

Jiang Cheng's explanation was reasonable and well-founded.

Liang Lu looked at Concubine Li, who nodded.

Liang Lu said: "I advise you not to waste time. You can't cure it."

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

Liang Lu sneered: "As long as the old man can still move, wouldn't he play all night long? Now he has been peaceful for several months, and his life is probably about to end. It's really no longer possible."

Just now Jiang Cheng made rude remarks, and Liang Hong dared to persuade him.

Now Liang Lu directly calls him "old man", and Liang Hong doesn't even dare to dissuade him.

Jiang Cheng scratched his head, why did he feel that each of Emperor Liang's children was more "filial" than the last.

However, Emperor Liang caused Concubine Li to suffer from the disease, so it was reasonable for Liang Lu to hate him.

Jiang Cheng was not interested in worrying about other people's family affairs. He just wanted to meet Emperor Liang, draw the talisman to ward off evil spirits, and get the rewards he deserved.

Jiang Cheng stood up, bowed his hands to Liang Lu, and said, "Thank you very much, Princess. Let's go and ask elsewhere."

Liang Hong also handed over his hand.

However, Liang Lu only returned the courtesy to Jiang Cheng as Jiang Cheng's polite response.

Watching Jiang Cheng's leaving figure, Concubine Li sighed with emotion: "Lu'er, mother often wonders if you were a man like Jiang Cheng, would our mother and daughter's lives be much easier."

Liang Lu was stunned and said, "Mother, who do you think he is?"

"Jiangcheng."

Jiangcheng?

The Jiangcheng that the teacher told me to stay away from?

Liang Lu recalled Jiang Cheng's appearance in his mind and thought: There is nothing special about him, he is just an ordinary male cultivator, and his cultivation talent is not even good. Why doesn't the teacher let me get close to him?

"Lu'er, how long will you stay when you go home this time?" Concubine Li asked.

Liang Lu said: "I probably won't go back to school in the next few days."

"Great, I'll ask Sister Qiao to make more of your favorite food."

"it is good."

Liang Lu talked with Concubine Li, but Jiang Cheng was forgotten by her.

……

After coming out of Concubine Li's palace, Jiang Cheng and Liang Hong went straight to the queen's residence.

"The Queen has been uneasy recently and won't see any visitors for the time being," the palace maid said.

"Because of the eldest prince's matter?" Jiang Cheng looked at Liang Hong.

Liang Hong whispered: "Most likely, hey? Where are you going?"

"Looking for Concubine Shu."

"Didn't we go to Miaoren Palace?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I have already planned to ask your father to come out, but I still need help."

Liang Hong was suddenly startled: "What on earth do you want to do?"

The next day, Jiang Cheng and Liang Hong visited the emperor's palace.

The eunuchs on duty are still Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Zhang from yesterday.

Liu and Zhang were immediately overwhelmed when they saw Jiang Cheng.

Others have exquisite minds with seven orifices. They can be understood with just a few words.

Jiangcheng's heart is sealed with concrete, and it's unclear whether he is sincere or simply trying to force himself.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Mr. Jiang, are you here for a walk again today?" Eunuch Liu's seemingly respectful tone contained a bit of yin and yang.

Liang Hong could hear what Eunuch Liu meant, but he couldn't help it.

He had no status but no power. Even the eunuchs in the palace could not suppress him. Even asking Jiang Cheng to come out has to rely on mortgaging the palace.

Jiang Cheng looked as usual and said: "Liang Hong and I are not here for a walk, but we want to invite His Majesty to come forward."

Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "I'm afraid this can't be done, Mr. Jiang. You'd better please come back."

Jiang Cheng cleared his throat and said loudly: "The death of the fourth prince has been widely implicated. Please ask Your Majesty to come forward and seek justice."

When Eunuch Liu heard this, he immediately stopped him and said: "Mr. Jiang, Your Majesty needs to rest. Please don't make any noise at the door of the bedroom! If you insist on making a noise, then our family can only ask the Imperial Army to come out and let the Young Master go to the side hall to calm down."

Although Liang Hong knew Jiang Cheng's plan, he couldn't help but look nervous when he heard the name of the Forbidden Army.

However, Jiang Cheng looked as usual and calmly took out a roll of silk paper in front of the two eunuchs and Liang Hong.

As soon as the silk paper appeared, Liu and Zhang's eyes were as big as eggs!
Why does the silk paper in Jiang Cheng's hand look so similar to the silk paper used for imperial edicts?

Jiang Cheng asked Liang Hong to hold the silk paper open for him, and said to himself: "Okay, I understand what you mean, and I will help you draw up the imperial edict."
