Heavenly Temple, Heavenly Protection Hall

The Temple of Heaven and Temple in front had been completely destroyed, so it had to be rebuilt.

If he wanted to rebuild it, it definitely wouldn"t happen in a day.

Besides, the war in the east was not going well, and the Revenue Service could not allocate any money.

A few days ago, it was said that the empress dowager of the Embroidery Palace had personally decreed that if the Ministry of Revenue did not transfer the money needed to rebuild the Hall of Heavenly Harmony, everyone would scram.

The empress dowager"s words had a lot of effect in the end, so she"d gathered all the money quickly. However, when she"d delivered it to the Heavenly Protection Hall, the Duke of Yan had refused.

Mu Changyan gave the order to hand over all the silver to a car and horse shop called Yan Yun, and sent them all the way to the eastern border.

An Zeng was standing right next to Mu Changyan, the two of them were looking out the window at the ruins in front of them.

""I don"t want to cultivate anymore, it"s not even flat. I"ll just throw it away like that.""

""Regardless of whether it is for me or for the future Duke Yan, I am a wake-up call.""

Mu Changyan turned around and waved her hands, indicating for everyone to leave.

""Do you know why I trusted you so much?""

Mu Changyan asked.

An Zeng nodded, ""Yes.""

Mu Changyan smiled and said, ""It"s good that you know. This secret must not be leaked out.""

There is one thing you may not know, and this is the biggest scandal in the harem since the Great Yan Dynasty, so no one dares to say it out loud.

""Those who knew about the matter at the brocade palace were also given strict orders. Who would have thought that just nine clans would appear in a row if word got out?""

He sat down and after a moment of silence said, ""Her Majesty is pregnant.""

An Xuan"s face changed. He felt disgusted.

Mu Changyan said, ""If she was only acting shamelessly, I would have ignored her.""

After all, she isn"t old yet, so … But she is pregnant now, and she only has one goal.

That is, if she wants to completely steal the position of the Mu Clan, she will have to take the first step by herself, which is to be the Queen.

The second step, when she was old, the child was his heir. ""

An Zhan stood there, not knowing what to say.

Mu Changyan said, ""So Xiao Qidao is the future of the Yan Country. You must protect him well.""

I know, in fact, I may not have much time.

By the time the empress dowager gave birth, it would be time for me to die.

Gu originally did not have the heart to call himself "king", but now, he could only bear this burden alone.

""In the future, it will be Little Seven who will bear the burden.""

An Zaidao shook his head. ""Xiao Qidao still doesn"t know his background. Even if he did, he might not be willing to be this King of Swallow.""

Mu Changyan remained silent for a while before saying, ""I didn"t use you because you were powerful enough. It was mainly because of your relationship with Xiao Qidao.""

Regardless of whether or not he would bear this responsibility in the future, what he had to do alone had to be prepared for him.

You probably didn"t understand why I recruited those young people. Do you think it"s a bit of a joke to use them against the empress dowager?

In fact, the people I recruited were all for the sake of the future Xiao Qidao.

""Only by nurturing those loyal to the Mu Clan from the start would he be able to live a more comfortable life.""

""After all, if he were to die alone, he might not even be ten years old.""

Mu Changyan heaved a sigh of relief, ""But those people are only secondary, you are the primary one.""

I keep promoting you, raising your official position over and over again, ignoring the opposition of the court officials, not caring if it has any effect on you, yes, it is because of my selfishness.

""I just want you to adapt to the court situation as soon as possible, adapt to the government situation, and become a good official and a great official in the future.""

An Zaiyue shrugged his shoulders, ""This subject might not be able to do it.""

Mu Changyan smiled, ""With your personality, you"re not suitable to be a good official.""

He looked at An Zeng. ""Do you understand why I would let you go freely or even support your development in the martial arts world?""

An Xuan said, ""Yes, I understand.""

Mu Changyan said, ""I have too much hope for your Legacy, don"t you think?""

""Giving you such a heavy burden will also put you under a lot of pressure.""

An Zhan shook his head, ""No, no, no. The king has money to pay, power to power. If there"s anything to give, this subject isn"t afraid of pressure.""

Mu Changyan glared at him, ""Then it"s better if there"s pressure … Oh right, Gu recent made Zhuge Liuyun pay special attention to Nie Qing. Zhuge Liuyun said that he didn"t notice anything wrong.""

""There aren"t enough manpower in the palace recently, so I plan to transfer Nie Qing to the Heavenly Protection Hall.""

An Xuan said, ""If Zhuge Liuyun also says that there won"t be a problem, maybe I am too paranoid.""

Originally, I planned to find Nie Qing and have a chat with him, but I always strayed out of his way. I looked for him twice, but couldn"t find him.

What the Martial Arts Academy could confirm was that Nie Qing had taken away the copy of the Purple rank cultivation technique.

However, things copied from a Purple rank cultivation technique might not be useful.

At that level, the real secret would not be in the words.

""However, Chang Huan still entrusted the matter to me. If there"s an opportunity, I will have Nie Qing send the copy back to the Martial Arts Academy.""

Mu Changyan grunted, ""Gu will let him send it back. I heard … the Heavenly Awakening Sect has begun accepting disciples?""

Ann nodded.

Mu Changyan said, ""It"s good to have more children around the same age as Little Seven. We can start training from this point onwards, and in the future we will all become Little Seven"s a.s.sistants.""

An Zhan frowned. ""The children that this subject has recruited, I don"t want them to die.""

Mu Changyan said, ""You don"t want to affect the future of those children, but have you ever thought about it? If they joined another sect, wouldn"t they be the same?""

""It"s good for your sect. In the future, if Xiao Qidao really becomes the King of Swallow, then their future will be much better than in other sects.""

""I still can"t do it.""

Mu Changyan"s expression turned cold. ""You don"t even know how to feign consent?""

In any case, you won"t live long. Even if you don"t do as I tell you in the future, I don"t know.

""What kind of person is nine springs down, if he dies, then he dies.""

""This subject doesn"t want to lie.""

Mu Changyan"s expression eased a little, ""It"s up to you. It"s too early to instill information into these children. When Little Seven really becomes the King of Swallow, it won"t be too late for them to make a choice.""

""I"m a little tired. You have a lot to do, so go ahead.""

When An Zaiyi took his leave and left the Heavenly Protection Hall, he glanced back and felt that Mu Changyan seemed to have aged from sixty to seventy years.

Embroidery Palace.

A young eunuch hastily ran in and spoke in a hushed tone to Empress Dowager Su. ""Empress Dowager, news has come from Heavenly Temple that the king has decreed that Nie Qing should enter the Heavenly Protection Hall to protect him.""

Empress Dowager Su, who had been lazing lazily on the bed, sat up and smiled. ""Go tell Zhen Dao that the chance has come.""

At this time, Zhen Dao came in from outside and bowed. ""Empress Dowager doesn"t need to send anyone to tell me. Could it be that the empress dowager forgot that I heard everything that Nie Qing saw and heard? I heard everything.""

It wasn"t just this good news. There was also … there was also movement from Feng Xiugui"s side.

Due to the lack of manpower on the King"s side, he planned to send her out of the training hall and into Empyrean Terminus Palace.

In order to ensure that Feng Xiuxiu would gain a certain position in the future, the Supreme Court prepared to open the secret door of the training hall and let her cultivate for a period of time.

""If nothing goes wrong, Feng Xiuzhu will be able to steal that supreme treasure of the Supreme Dao Palace.""

Empress Dowager Su"s face grew particularly joyous. ""That thing will keep my child safe in the future.""

Zhen Dao said: ""Congratulations to the empress dowager, everything is fine.""

Empress Dowager Su hummed. ""Go prepare yourself. This matter is of the utmost importance.""

""As long as I control Mu Changyan and get that treasure from the Supreme Dao Palace, nothing can stop me.""

Zhen Dao wrapped around his body: ""This servant will prepare now. If it succeeds, this servant will not be able to move for a long time.""

""I asked the empress dowager to send someone to protect the servants. After all, nothing can go wrong with this matter.""

Empress Dowager Su said, ""Go ahead, I"ll arrange for people.""

Zhen Dao retreated, but when she turned around, Empress Dowager Su didn"t see it. Zhen Dao"s eyes flashed with a sinister light.

Zhen Dao didn"t notice that the moment he turned around, Empress Dowager Su"s face quickly darkened. She looked at Zhen Dao"s back with killing intent.

A moment later, an old man wearing a long black robe walked out from the shadows to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Su.

Empress Dowager Su sneered. ""See that person"s servant act like that?""

It would be a disaster for this man to keep his future.

If it wasn"t for his silver needle technique, how could I have used him?

You go secretly protect him. After Mu Changyan has been controlled, you will cripple this person, turning him into a cripple who can"t even get down from the bed.

If he doesn"t listen, let him die. ""

The old man nodded, ""This subject will go right away.""

Empress Dowager Su reached out to grab the old man"s hand. ""In the end, this will depend on you.""

The so-called Silver Needle Gu Technique might not have some flaws, but during the time you"ve been protecting him, you should think of a way to figure out what exactly is going on with the Silver Needle Gu Insect Technique.

If he understood what was going on, he could just get rid of Zhen Dao.

""This man has the ambition of a wolf in his eyes. He is different from Li Changlu.""

""The empress dowager really can"t forget him. If my guess is correct, if Li Changlu can help her get a child, then there won"t be any problem for this subject.""

Empress Dowager Su wrapped her arms around the old man"s waist from behind. ""Are you jealous?""

Being so cute at such a young age was truly amusing.

Those youngsters are just a bit more thick-skinned, but that Li Changlu is just a bit more eloquent, how can they compete with you?

In these past few years, I have changed many people, but you are the only one I cannot leave.

Besides, the young men came to serve me to keep your secret.

""When the child is born, no one will know it"s yours.""

The old man let out a long sigh. ""I hope that everyone knows that it is you and my child.""

Empress Dowager Su rubbed her face against the old man"s back. ""Don"t worry, now"s just not the time.""

In the future, wouldn"t our children inherit the throne of Yan Kingdom?

Now, he had already let others know that he would bring disaster upon him.

When he grows up, you and I will take care not to let anyone hurt him.

""At that time, we will hand over an entire Yan Kingdom to him.""

The old man was silent for a while before saying, ""Anyway, my heart is in your hands. You know that I won"t be able to escape.""

Empress Dowager Su spoke softly. ""You also know that my heart is in your hands, right?""

Those people, no matter how young and strong they are, no matter how handsome or handsome they are, they can never compare to a thousandth of you.

""Only you can bring me true happiness …""

The old man seemed to sense that the mature body behind him was gradually heating up. He turned around and hugged Empress Dowager Su. ""You"re pregnant, so you should still be more restrained.""

""Oh …""

Empress Dowager Su made an "oh" sound, her expression a little displeased. ""I know … I can"t do that either, it"s really troublesome to death.""

""Could it be that he can"t be any lighter?""

The old man sighed, allowing Empress Dowager Su to take off his clothes."
