Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 450 I want them all, leaving none for you
Hearing this, Zhan Doudou turned around suddenly, his eyes full of confusion.

As the emperor of Qi, she and the queen mother cared most about whether the Zhan family could keep sitting on the throne. They thought that Chu Pingsheng would be like those powerful ministers in history, controlling the overall situation step by step, and then forcing her to abdicate, and the Zhan family would step down from the stage. Although this result was painful, it finally saved the family, which was a blessing in disguise.

Now Si Lili actually told her that if she could give birth to a child for Chu Ping, Qi would still belong to the Zhan family? Doesn't this mean that he allows the child to have the surname Zhan after birth?
"He has no interest in Northern Qi's territory." Si Lili looked at her good sister who shared the same bed with her and reached out to wipe away the tears from Zhan Doudou's eyes. "Think about it, even if your child's last name is Zhan, he is his flesh and blood. How can he treat you and your child badly in the future? Qi no longer has Ku He, but still has Bai Feng. Who will dare to bully you in the future?"

"No wonder he forced my mother to issue an edict, asking me to marry you. Wasn't this also his plan?"

"Yes and no."

Si Lili stroked her lower abdomen, then pulled Zhan Doudou's hand over and pressed it: "Can you feel it? There's already one inside."

Zhan Doudou sat up suddenly, mouth open, eyes wide open, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Her?"

Si Lili nodded: "If it's not his, who else could it be?"

"How many months?"

"According to what he said, it's been more than a month."

Upon hearing that Si Lili had been pregnant for more than a month, Zhan Doudou became curious and happy. She changed her sad look and leaned over to listen to her belly.

"What do you want to do? Do you think you can hear the fetus moving inside during a month of pregnancy?"

"Hehe...hehe..."

Zhan Doudou looked embarrassed and stood up scratching his head.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but when he moved, his brows furrowed and his face showed pain.

"Hurry up and lie down. You just got raped by him and you're still weak."

Zhan Doudou's face suddenly turned red, he fell sideways and turned his head away.

Si Lili felt in her sleeves, took out a white jade bottle and handed it over: "Drink it."

Zhan Doudou opened the lid and smelled it. It smelled a bit like Chu Pingsheng's. She looked at it under the light and found that it was red.

"what?"

"Blood. His."

"You want me to drink his blood? What kind of weird ritual is this?"

It was obvious that Zhan Doudou regarded her kindness as some tradition of the Zhuhua tribe.

Si Lili said, "You don't know, he reserved this for you... Most people can't even ask for it. As far as I know, besides you, only Xiao En and Zhuang Mohan have had the honor of drinking his blood."

After returning from Cangzhou, Haitang Duoduo said that Sean is no longer the same person he used to be, having fallen from the ninth rank, and is no longer a concern. However, a few days ago, it was he who killed the ninth rank Taoist He and threw his head at the door of the inn where the Nanqing envoys were staying, asking Fan Xian to keep the gift and hand it over to Chen Pingping when he returns to Kyoto.

So the question is, how did Sean's injury heal?

And there is Zhuang Mohan. Before, he went to Ci'an Palace to propose marriage for Chu Pingsheng. His condition and complexion were nothing like what the outside world said, that the old master had worked too much and his body and mind were damaged, to the point where no medicine could cure him.

Could it be that... the reason these two people got better was all thanks to Chu Pingsheng?

“Is this… an elixir?”

"almost."

"..."

Zhan Doudou put the bottle mouth to his lips and sniffed it again. Indeed, Chu Pingsheng's blood did not have the fishy smell of ordinary people's blood. It was a light smell, similar to musk, mixed with the scent of honey.

Si Lili said, "Tomorrow we have to worship our ancestors, hold a wedding, and hold a banquet. How can you handle that when you are weak? Drink this quickly."

Zhan Doudou looked at the jade bottle a few more times, then raised his head suddenly and swallowed the blood inside.

When she was about to throw the jade bottle away, Si Lili snatched it back.

"There's still a little left. Adding some water to it will be the best antidote."

"Li Li?"

Zhan Doudou was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You and I may not lack such things in the future, but what about others?"

"..."

Zhan Doudou had nothing to say.

Si Lili put away the jade bottle and lay down with her in his arms: "How do you feel?"

She lied to Zhan Doudou. The blood in the jade bottle was not left by Chu Pingsheng for Zhan Doudou. In fact, it was left by Chu Pingsheng for her in an emergency. In order to maintain her image as a man in front of her best friend, she was really desperate.

"There's a heat in my stomach, um, very warm..."

Zhan Doudou turned her body and looked at Si Lili who took off her coat and got into bed with her. She felt all her weakness disappear. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

……

The next day, Zhan Doudou and Si Lili got married and the whole country celebrated. The empress dowager hosted a banquet for all the officials in Fuqing Palace. After the wedding, she announced a general amnesty and reduced some taxes.

Seven days later, the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi got married, but the wedding was much smaller in scale. Zhuang Mohan presided over a simple ceremony, and the mission was completed.

The happiest person in the whole of Beijing was not the bride and groom, but Fan Xian.

Haitang Duoduo became Chu Pingsheng's wife, but what about Lin Wan'er? She couldn't become a concubine, otherwise, where would the Qing royal family's face be?
Two days later, the news reached the capital of Qing State.

Inside the imperial study of Xingqing Palace.

Li Yunqian, wearing a loose white robe, sat beside a couch covered with memorials, looking expressionlessly at Lin Ruofu who was kneeling on the ground. "You have finally found a reason to take over our army."

"I dare not." Lin Ruofu knelt in a very standard manner. He had never been so serious since he became the prime minister. "Chu Pingsheng has married the Saintess of Northern Qi. This is well known to the people of the Northern Dynasty. Wan'er is the princess of our Qing Kingdom, the descendant of the eldest princess. Could it be that she is going to marry a barbarian from the Western Hu as a concubine? Wouldn't it weaken the prestige of our Great Qing and damage the dignity of the royal family? Your Majesty, it was Chu Pingsheng who broke the contract first."

Li Yunqian was not angry, and said calmly: "Then Prime Minister Lin, you know that Chu Pingsheng's master Bai Feng faced two great masters, Ku He and Si Gu Jian, on his own, and finally suffocated Ku He and cut off one of Si Gu Jian's arms. Now the government of Qi is controlled by Xiao En and his son. Let me ask you, if he uses Wan'er's engagement as an excuse to send me a bell, how should I respond?"

Lin Ruofu's face changed, and his eyes were full of fear.

News of Bai Feng's battle with Si Gu Jian and Ku He outside Shangjing City has spread throughout the world. Now everyone knows that Chu Pingsheng and his disciple are so strong that they can change the world with their own strength.

"Okay, you go down first. I will wait for the envoy to return and feel out his attitude before discussing this matter."

"My minister retire."

Lin Ruofu didn't dare to say anything more. He got up from the ground and left the imperial study under the guidance of Hou Zhigang.

After a while, Fei Jie came out from behind the bookshelf, pushing Chen Pingping, who had a felt blanket covering his knees.

"Did you hear what Lin Ruofu said just now?"

"Yes."

"Tell me what you think."

The two looked at each other, and Chen Pingping laughed: "Your Majesty is right to worry about this. I also think that it is not appropriate to make a decision before Chu Pingsheng comes back."

"I am asking about your opinion on Chu Pingsheng marrying the Saint of Northern Qi, not about Princess Chen's marriage."

"This……"

"Say!"

"Based on my observations of Chu Pingsheng, he married the Saint of Northern Qi in a high-profile manner in order to demonstrate to Your Majesty."

"Demonstration? Demonstration of what?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what Fan Xian promised before he led the delegation to the battle?"

"You do know."

"It was Fei Jie who told me." Chen Pingping explained, and continued, "Chu Pingsheng is probably aware of this. Your Majesty, you should be careful in dealing with it."

"How should we deal with this? Why don't you give me an idea?"

"This……"

Chen Pingping looked embarrassed. He did have weapons that could be used against grandmasters, but he felt at a disadvantage if he used them against Bai Feng. But if he didn't use the killer weapon left by Ye Qingmei, with Ye Liuyun acting like a coward, Wu Zhu being emotionally unstable, and Si Gu Jian being crippled, who could be Bai Feng's opponent?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Just at this moment, the old eunuch who had just sent Lin Ruofu out of the imperial study walked in quickly with an anxious look on his face.

"Why are you panicking?"

"A letter? Ye...Grandmaster Ye...has received a letter."

As the old eunuch spoke, he handed a letter sealed with vermilion lacquer to the emperor.

Chen Pingping and Fei Jie looked at each other and wondered if Grand Master Ye Liuyun was finally willing to show up?
However, the question now is, is it too late to show up now? Wu Zhu cannot be relied upon. Even if Si Gu Jian can get help, there are only two great masters. It is just a repetition of the battle outside Shangjing City. How can they kill Master Bai Feng and his apprentice?
Li Yunqian opened Ye Liuyun's letter, glanced at it, and waved to Chen Pingping and Fei Jie.

The latter said nothing and pushed the former dean away.

……

A few hours later, Li Yunqian left the palace and went to the Qing Temple outside Kyoto, where he met the high priest wearing a gray cloak.

"How are things going?"

"Your Majesty, the temple messenger is on the way."

"Okay, that's a good job."

Li Yunqian expressed his satisfaction. Now that Ku He was dead and Si Gu Jian was seriously injured, the situation was a little beyond his expectations. However, this did not mean that there was no one in the world who could stop Bai Feng. Although the mission of the temple messenger had always been to kill Wu Zhu, it did not mean that he could not use him.

"You didn't report the results of the battle in Shangjing to the temple, did you?"

"No."

Li Yunqian nodded, stood up and walked outside. The second priest, Master Sanshi, who was standing quietly outside the door, escorted him out of the temple.

……

half a month later.

The affairs of Qi State came to an end, and Yan Bingyun's injury was almost healed. Fan Xian and Hu Jinzhu went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and Zhan Doudou, first to thank them, and then to say goodbye.

The mother and daughter did not try to persuade them to stay. According to the agreement, they let the Northern Qi Princess Zhan Tongtong follow the delegation south to the Kingdom of Qing.

Hu Jinzhu was very puzzled as Chu Pingsheng had not shown up until the convoy traveled several miles south and encountered Lord Chu's carriage next to a tavern in the wild.

When he went north, he brought Si Lili with him, but this time when he went south, the female companion he brought with him was Haitang Duoduo.

This is normal, after all, the two are now a couple known to the world.

When Wang Qinian rode by, Haitang Duoduo, a saintly lady from Northern Qi, who was wearing a dark green tight-fitting long skirt and a white belt around her waist, was sitting in front of the carriage, eating melon seeds. Seeing him greet her in a lewd manner, she threw the melon seed shells in her hand and said, "Wang Qinian, what do you think about that matter?"
