From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

"Your Highness is really amazing! That Seventh Prince was defeated by His Highness with a single punch. Let's see what qualifications he has to show off his might in the future!"

Xiao Minghuang stopped, touched the soft hair of the little maid, and said with a smile:

"The Seventh Prince is just a clown, it's not worth paying attention to, but you, you weren't bullied by them just now, right?"

Ye Ruoshui froze for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"No, the maidservant was waiting for His Highness outside the hall. The Seventh Prince's group suddenly appeared and wanted to moles the maidservant. Thanks to the help from the commander of the guards, His Royal Highness was able to leave the customs."

Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly.

"Find an opportunity to send some gifts to the guard commander, and thank him for his kindness."

"The servant has recorded it."

While talking, the two walked out of the palace and headed towards the new mansion.

9. There will be turmoil, prepare to break through

The Second Prince's Mansion.

In a quiet room, the Seventh Prince was lying on the bed, his breath was weak, his life was like a thread, like a candle in the wind, it would go out when it was blown.

The situation of the seventh prince is different from that of Xiao Minghuang.

The former was forcibly broken through the dantian by external forces, the foundation was destroyed, and all the power of qi and blood was lost.

The latter is only due to the side effects of the elixir, causing the tendons to break and the blood to be unable to circulate effectively.

The foundation was completely destroyed, and the Seventh Prince's injuries were more serious than Xiao Minghuang's.

After being abolished, the Qi and blood of the Seventh Prince's whole body declined. In just half a day, he was skinny and skinny. He looked like an old man in his 70s or [-]s. It seemed that his time was running out.

"Second brother, that little girl is at the Ninth Level of Body Training...Little brother is not her match...Second brother, you must avenge me!"

The Seventh Prince spoke intermittently, and he didn't let in his breath, as if he was going to be seriously injured and die in the next moment.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the second prince Fengshen's handsome face flushed red, and a trace of anger flashed in his pupils.

To abolish his younger brother in public is to ignore him at all!

"Don't worry, seventh brother, second brother will definitely avenge you!"

While speaking, he waved his hands with a look of sadness on his face.

"Go find the best doctor, and make sure to heal seventh brother's injury!"

The Second Prince's words were just for the Seventh Prince to reassure him.

It is well known that if one's cultivation base is abolished, there is no possibility of recovery unless there is the legendary heavenly elixir.

When he returned to his study, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"What a Ninth Princess, she doesn't pay attention to me at all!"

Right now.

The door was opened, and a majestic middle-aged man in a black robe walked in, exuding the aura of the Divine Sea Realm. It was the second strongest person in Great Xia, King Wu'an.

"Second Prince, I heard that the Seventh Prince went to challenge the Ninth Princess, but his cultivation was abolished in public. Did you instigate this matter?"

The second prince cupped his hands.

"The Ninth Princess was suddenly rewarded by my father. I suspected fraud, so I sent my seventh brother to test it out, but I didn't expect this little girl to be so bold!"

King Wu'an looked indifferently, and asked, "You really think so? How can a mere Ninth Princess be so bold?"

Hearing this, the second prince's eyes fixed, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly woke up and said, "Could it be Father..."

In an instant, he thought a lot.

Seven days ago, the nine princesses violated the rules and lost in the competition, and then they were thrown into limbo, but there was news that their cultivation base had recovered.

That's why he sent the Seventh Prince to test it out, but he didn't expect...

As for why the nine princesses recovered after being abolished, but their strength has improved further.

This may be because the Ninth Princess was never abolished at all, and all of this was a good show directed by Emperor Xia.

Having figured out this verse, the second prince heaved a sigh of relief, frowned, and said hesitantly: "If it's really the father's intention, then it will be difficult."

No matter how powerful he and King Wu'an are, Emperor Xia is the most powerful person in Great Xia after all, not to mention there is still an ancestor in the spirit-seed realm alive, if Emperor Xia wholeheartedly supports Xiao Minghuang, he will be powerless.

Seeing that the second prince was restless, King Wu An said lightly, and reminded: "What? Do you want to give up now?"

"No!"

The second prince replied subconsciously, and after a while, Junyi's face turned cold, and he looked at King Wu'an.

"Grandson dares to ask grandparents to kill the nine princesses, paving the way for grandson to become emperor!"

With King Wu'an's cultivation at the eighth level of Shenhai, killing Xiao Minghuang, who was at the ninth level of body forging, was no different from crushing an ant.

As long as he acted in secret and kept his hands and feet clean, even Emperor Xia would have nowhere to track him down.

At that time, the Ninth Princess had died, and Emperor Xia had to hold his nose to endure the great grievances, so he could only make him the heir.

Hearing this, a gratified smile appeared on King Wu'an's majestic face.

"Ruzi can be taught!"

"I came here this time to tell you that Emperor Xia will be retreating recently to attack the spirit-seed realm. During this period, there will be chaos in Great Xia. We can profit from the chaos. Whether it is the Ninth Princess or anyone else, we can wipe out all of you in one fell swoop. clear!"

The second prince looked puzzled.

Emperor Xia has been at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm for many years, and has often retreated, trying to break into the Spirit Seed Realm, but failed without exception.

Although this matter is not rumored, everyone inside the royal family knows about it.

What really puzzled him was the second half of King Wu'an's sentence.

"Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, why is there turmoil in Daxia? What does my grandfather mean by this?"

King Wu An said indifferently: "You don't need to worry about that. Get ready. In two days, you will go to Donglin City to practice."

"As for the matter of the Ninth Princess, let me handle it!"

While speaking, King Wu An took out a storage bag and handed it to the second prince.

"Use these resources and break through to the Yongquan Realm as soon as possible."

The second prince bowed his head, saluted respectfully and said:

"Thank you for the reward from my grandfather, I will ascend to the top in the future, but if my grandfather has an order, my grandson will obey!"

...

East of the city, a wide street.

The two of Xiao Minghuang came out of the palace and went straight to the new mansion.

Above the gate of the mansion, hung a brand new plaque with four gilt characters - Nine Princess Mansion.

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper stood outside the gate of the mansion. His face was white and beardless, and he exuded the aura of Qi Refining Realm. When he saw Xiao Minghuang and the two of them, he immediately came forward to meet them.

"The villain is Wang Er, who was sent by the emperor to take care of the household chores for His Highness, welcome His Highness back to the mansion!"

"Don't be too polite."

After entering the mansion, Wang Er introduced the situation in the mansion to Xiao Minghuang, most of them were some chores, listening to them was useless.

"... There is a medicine garden in Xikuayuan, which grows a lot of spiritual herbs and medicines. Although the grade is not high, it can also generate a lot of spiritual energy for the mansion."

"...There is a practice room in Dongkuayuan, which is engraved with a gathering spirit formation. Your Highness can practice in it, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy can be greatly improved!"

Xiao Minghuang's gaze paused, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

She doesn't know anything about alchemy, and the medicine garden doesn't have much effect on her, but the Spirit Gathering Formation does not.

The way of formation is the same as the way of elixir, and there are also different grades, such as gathering spirit formations, which can increase the speed of cultivation. Although the formation method is simple, it needs precious spirit stones as materials. It cannot be placed casually.

Xiao Minghuang came all the way to the practice room, and after learning how to use the Spirit Gathering Formation, she sent Wang Er away, leaving only her and Ye Ruoshui in the room.

"Every hour that the spirit-gathering formation runs, it consumes ten spirit stones. Now the spirit stones in the formation can run continuously for three days. Your Highness can activate the formation as an aid when the realm is about to break through."

When Wang Er left, he left such a sentence.

Being able to run the formation for three days continuously means that there are 360 ​​spirit stones in the formation, which is an extremely huge number.

But for her who is carrying a hundred middle-grade spirit stones, she can open them at will without any scruples.

But now she has no plans to activate the formation.

Her current cultivation base has already reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Body Training Realm, and she is only one step away from entering the Qi Refining Realm.

Introducing qi into the body requires the guidance of exercises. Although the "Dragon Soul Heart Technique" that I just got is a low-level exercise, if I donate it as a gift and get system compensation, I will definitely get better exercises.

With such an idea in mind, Xiao Minghuang quietly waited for the arrival of tomorrow.

ps: I beg all the family members to give some favorites, recommend monthly tickets and post in the comment room, please, this is really important to me! (^o^)／

10. Ten thousand times critical strike, heaven-level skills!

The next morning.

It was dawn, Xiao Minghuang hastily knocked on the door of Ye Ruoshui's room.

The little maid was sleepy, wearing only a gauze as thin as a cicada's wings, and opened the door for her with a yawn.

Xiao Minghuang entered the room, closed the door behind his back, and in the faint morning light, glanced at the full arc under the almost transparent gauze of the little maid, and finally his eyes fell on the little girl's dazed face.

"Ruoshui, my sister gave you a treasure."

Ye Ruoshui rubbed her drowsy eyes, blinking her long eyelashes, like a pair of butterflies about to take off.

"What is it?"

Xiao Minghuang took out a white stick from his bosom, and stuffed it directly into the little maid's bosom.

"My sister is going to practice recently. She is quite busy. She doesn't have time to teach you. You should practice by yourself first."

Leaving those words behind, Xiao Minghuang pushed the door out and left quickly.

Only Ye Ruoshui with a dazed face was left behind.

There was still a touch of body temperature on the round and brilliant jade, she sniffed, and could still smell a faint fragrance of orchids.

This smell made her so intoxicated that she couldn't even remember to return.

But Ye Ruoshui couldn't understand the function of this piece of jade.

"???"

She kept thinking about dawn, but she was still at a loss.

It wasn't until the temperature and fragrance attached to the jade dissipated that Ye Ruoshui took the white jade stick to the sun and observed it carefully.

The jade is in the shape of a round bar as a whole, slightly shorter than her forearm, with rounded brilliance at the upper and lower ends, and irregular bumps in the rest.

Looking at the strange jade, the little maid thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so she went to ask the older maid in the house.

The old maid glanced at Ye Ruoshui, her eyes were scrutinized, and after a while, she lowered her head and whispered a few words in her ear.

"This thing can make you happy. I'm not married at such an old age. It's all because of this thing..."

While speaking, Ye Ruoshui's small face turned red visibly to the naked eye, becoming pink and attractive, as if there was a white mist steaming above her head.

She couldn't help stamping her feet, ran back to the room with her head down, threw herself on the bed and rolled around, wrapped herself in the quilt, and rolled to the corner, only her small head was exposed, and the pupils were full of little stars.

"Your Highness gave me this, didn't you..."

...

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Xiao Minghuang sent out the exercises, and immediately returned to the practice room, impatiently asking the system.

"System, what about my compensation?"
