Because it's me?
Li Guanxuan looked confused. He always felt that there was something in the empress' words.
Moreover, there were many things that the Empress did not fully confess to him.
Perhaps as the empress said, knowing too much would only affect his spiritual aspirations, and even he might not be able to deal with the inner demons that would arise in the future.
"It should be easy for me to survive the thunder tribulation, right?" Li Guanxuan asked.
"In this world, there is no such thing as using lightning to strike oneself." The empress chuckled.
Li Guanxuan understood clearly in his heart that the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree in his body, which is the World Tree of Heaven, would never let him be buried in the thunder disaster.
I'm afraid he will be able to survive the thunder tribulations in the future with ease.
There might even be no thunder tribulation.
Li Guanxuan sighed: "Sister, don't you want to live forever?"
The empress joked: "What, you want to take me into your harem?"
Li Guanxuan said: "What I mean is, didn't you think of taking away the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree at the beginning?"
The empress said angrily: "I don't have the habit of accepting male favors, and I'm not very interested in dual cultivation. I have so much free time, I might as well approve a few more memorials and spend more time on other things."
Speaking of this, the empress smiled and said: "If I really want to continue living in the future, why not just find someone else? Why go to all the trouble to get this thing."
"Then I will become a treasonous traitor to assassinate the emperor." Li Guanxuan said.
"How dare you think about it!"
The empress scolded with a smile, straightened her back, stretched out her jade hands and grabbed Li Guanxuan's ears.
"Just kidding...Sister, you don't know that I love joking the most."
Li Guanxuan smiled dryly, but his ears didn't hurt much.
He could feel that the empress' love for him was sincere.
But whether this kind of sincerity can last for tens of thousands of years is still unclear.
However, what makes Li Guanxuan more relieved is that in private, he can still call the empress his eldest sister.
But outside, in order to avoid any influence, it should be called a saint.
Moreover, the empress did not call herself "I" in front of him, but called herself "I".
Li Guanxuan could still detect these subtle changes.
"Sister, there is something I want to talk to you about." Li Guanxuan said seriously.
"It's okay to just say it. You don't have to pretend to be aloof in front of me." The empress said.
"Do you know that His Highness the Crown Prince is trying to seize your throne?" Li Guanxuan asked doubtfully.
"I know."
The empress admitted openly and said with a smile: "Children will fight for whatever they like. It's normal. As long as they don't act out of line, I, as an aunt, will naturally turn a blind eye. Eyes, besides, his father is still here, so it’s not my turn to teach him a lesson.”
"The Supreme Emperor..."
As soon as Li Guanxuan finished speaking, he stopped abruptly.
This was already regarded as the empress's family matter. He had to stop it in moderation. He really couldn't say anything.
The empress smiled and asked: "If I told you that my imperial brother had never thought about being a prince or emperor from the day he became the prince, would you believe it?"
Li Guanxuan shook his head.
"Are you interested in the throne?" the empress asked again.
"I'm not mentally ill. Rather than being tied up and imprisoned on the throne, I would rather travel around the world and be free and happy." Li Guanxuan replied.
"That's it."
The empress sighed softly: "My stupid imperial brother, he didn't have any lofty ambitions or ambitions when he was a child. He just wanted to become an immortal and travel around the world. If Daheng needs him, he will come back to help. He is no longer needed. , he went out to have a good time and had no intention of becoming an emperor.
But there was no way. The late emperor only had one son and two daughters in his life. As the eldest son, he could only inherit the throne, take charge of Daheng, and be responsible for many problems of the people's eating, drinking, and diarrhea...
I have to engage in power play with some scheming guys, suppressing this, supporting that, which is very annoying... He told me more than once that he would abdicate in favor of someone more powerful, and he led the harem to travel around the world. "
Speaking of this, the empress glanced at Li Guanxuan.
Li Guanxuan remained silent, not expecting that the Supreme Emperor's ambition was the same as his.
"Actually, before he was captured, he had already written a letter of abdication, preparing to abdicate the throne to me and go to the front line to fight."
The empress shook her head and said softly: "Now that he is happy, I am not happy, but I have to sit in this position, otherwise no one will take over the eternal inheritance of our ancestors.
Like you just talked about Ji Zhenxiao, this kid is indeed a bit smart, but he is far from qualified to be an emperor. I plan to train him for thousands more years. If he is qualified, I will give way to him. If he is not qualified...
My imperial brother has many heirs, including many outstanding ones. You can choose one from them at any time. "
Li Guanxuan boldly murmured: "You want to live forever in the future, so what do you still care about the prince?"
"Am I going to be tied to this dragon chair forever?"
The empress laughed angrily and said: "Besides, if I sit in this position for a long time, it will not be very good for the development of Daheng. Sooner or later, I will have to abdicate and make way for others."
Li Guanxuan sighed.
The empress was able to tell him so many things frankly, and she actually trusted him quite a bit.
After all, these are considered taboo topics, and no emperor is willing to reveal his true feelings like her.
Of course, no minister would be as bold as Li Guanxuan to ask questions.
The main theme is a favored person who is not afraid of death.
"Okay, let's go to Ningshou Palace for dinner, and meet people by the way to avoid any embarrassing things in the future." The empress said.
"Are you really going?"
Li Guanxuan had a headache.
What bothers him the most is this kind of meal.
What's more, it was a family banquet for the Empress's family. Why did he go there and join in the fun?
…
When Li Guanxuan came to Ningshou Palace, he thought that the scene would be harmonious on the surface, but there were undercurrents in private, and tit-for-tat began within two words.
did not expect……
As the Supreme Emperor, the man didn't care about any rules at all. He walked over barefoot in casual home clothes, put his hand on the Empress's shoulder, and deliberately lowered his voice, but it could still be heard by everyone.
"Sister, is this guy the little brother you knew more than a hundred years ago? Is he reliable? Can he really get that far in the future?"
Li Guanxuan: "..."
Which step is that?
The empress's beautiful face was suddenly covered with black lines, and she said: "How about you mix in some magic power and spread it to the entire Imperial Mountain so that everyone can listen?"
"That's not necessary, that's not necessary..."
The Supreme Emperor smiled coquettishly. It was obvious that he was also quite afraid of the Empress.
Noticing that the Supreme Emperor was looking at him, Li Guanxuan immediately bowed and said, "I have seen the Supreme Emperor."
"No gifts, no gifts. If she can bring you here to eat, it means you are a member of her family, so don't do any extra etiquette."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hands, then walked over and put his arms around Li Guanxuan, and asked in a low voice:
"I heard that you are also a famous Hehuan Sword Immortal. If you have any new moves, can you teach me a few of them?"
This, this is not something to be spread... Li Guanxuan's eyes widened and he looked at the Supreme Emperor in disbelief.
This is the emperor...
Have you always been this crooked?
"Oh, by the way, I just said one more thing. I'm worried that that brat in Zhenxiao will be petty and will listen to it. Then he will regard you as a threat and want to get rid of you in the future..."
The Supreme Emperor patted his forehead and said: "Li Guanxuan, don't worry. If he dares to attack you, you won't need to say anything later. As long as I find out that he did it, I will either kill him or cut him into pieces. Li Zhong will deal with it. I will not talk nonsense." Anyway, I have many heirs and a lot of time, so I don’t need such a silly son.”
Ji Zhenxiao has been sitting upright in the chair. From the moment he came in, he did not dare to talk nonsense and behaved like a good child.
However, when he heard the words of the Supreme Queen, his heart couldn't help but thump.
He could tell that his father was not joking.
Who is Li Zhong?
That was the great eunuch who truly emerged from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Whether on the battlefield or in the officialdom, this great eunuch has always been ruthless and ruthless, killing those who should be killed and those who should not be killed, and torturing them to death.
and……
Li Zhong is now following Li Guanxuan.
"Weak minister, I obey the order." Li Zhong bowed and said.
At this time, the empress also walked to the main seat on the right and sat down. She put her right hand on the handle and glanced at Ji Zhenxiao with her domineering phoenix eyes, saying calmly:
"Your Highness, the formation outside Ningshou Palace is quite large. I was intimidated before I came here."
Ji Zhenxiao plopped down and knelt down in front of the empress, lowered his head and said, "My nephew will send them away immediately. Please don't blame me!"
Upon seeing this, a beautiful woman wearing a luxurious phoenix skirt quickly knelt down next to Ji Zhenxiao and said, "Your Majesty, the prince knows that he was wrong. Please don't blame him."
"Okay, okay."
The Empress waved her hands like the Supreme Emperor, and said with an impatient look: "Sit back, be your crown prince, and handle the important national affairs entrusted to you. From now on, the throne will still be yours. Don't listen to those outside. It’s okay to talk nonsense, but you must clearly understand in your heart whether you want this throne or the whole of Daheng.”
"Yes, my nephew will follow my aunt's teachings." Ji Zhenxiao said loudly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The beautiful woman also kowtowed.
Seeing this scene, the Supreme Emperor shook his head gently and sighed silently.
Li Guanxuan took everything in his eyes.
That beautiful woman is probably the Queen, the Crown Prince's mother.
but……
The Supreme Emperor seemed not very satisfied with the prince.
"Let's eat." The Supreme Emperor told the maid.
"yes."
The maid immediately went down to give orders.
Li Guanxuan also sat in his seat, with the empress on the left and Li Zhong on the right, feeling a little more settled.
It seemed that in front of the Empress and the Supreme Emperor, the Crown Prince Ji Zhenxiao lost the arrogance he had at the teleportation array. He never dared to say a word and listened silently.
After the food arrived, Li Guanxuan's eyes widened.
What kind of dishes are these?
The empress couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you usually eat these? Have you eaten all the waists of the monsters raised in the palace?"
All the dishes on the table are kidneys!
It’s simply a complete feast!
Even Li Guanxuan couldn't help but said in surprise: "There are also baked eggs?"
No wonder the Supreme Emperor was able to control three thousand beauties in his harem and have many heirs.
If he goes back after this meal, the ladies will probably have to confess.
Li Zhong looked at it expressionlessly, thinking that it was nonsense not to eat this meal!
"Eat something simple, eat something simple..."
The Supreme Emperor laughed without hesitation, grabbed his chopsticks, stood up, and gave a large piece of kidney to Li Guanxuan. He winked and said: "Li Guanxuan, we are true Taoist friends. Eat more. If you have any experience next time, we will We can communicate with each other.”
Li Guanxuan quickly picked up the bowl with both hands to receive it, and said seriously: "I will obey the emperor's will."
The empress glanced at the two of them and sneered: "Two shameless scoundrels."
The Supreme Emperor didn't care at all about the empress's words. He gave a piece of kidney to Ji Zhenxiao and said angrily: "Eat!"
"Thank you, Father, for the reward." Ji Zhenxiao said happily.
The Emperor was so angry that he rolled his eyes again.
When Li Guanxuan saw this scene, he had already guessed something.
Perhaps it was because he was bound by the throne in the past, so he was careful in everything, especially in terms of etiquette. As an emperor, the Supreme Emperor did not dare to go beyond it at all.
Now that he has abdicated, he has long abandoned these royal rules in Ningshou Palace, hoping to be like an ordinary family. The father and son can laugh and change cups, drink heavily, and eat meat without having to care about certain things. .
But Ji Zhenxiao’s rule-based side...
The Emperor was very unhappy.
"Bring me Dragon Whip Immortal Wine!"
Halfway through the meal, the Supreme Emperor had already knocked Li Zhong away and sat next to Li Guanxuan, changing glasses with him and laughing and talking.
Soon, the maid brought the fine wine that the Emperor had collected for many years.
"Brother Li, I'm not bragging. Drinking my Dragon Whip Immortal Wine will last you at least seven days and seven nights!" The Supreme Emperor said with a hearty smile, and even his title changed.
Li Guanxuan said lightly: "My brother once had a brilliant record for one day and seven nights."
Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor immediately stared at him.
Ji Zhenxiao and the Supreme Queen sneered in their hearts, Li Guanxuan finally angered the Supreme Queen!
Doesn't this guy really understand that being with a king is like being with a tiger?
Dare you say anything?
"Are you bragging?" The Supreme Emperor looked unconvinced.
"My cultivation base is low and far inferior to yours. Can't you tell that?" Li Guanxuan said calmly.
The Supreme Emperor was very dissatisfied. Even he couldn't do it for one day and seven nights. How did Li Guanxuan do it?
"My Dragon Whip Immortal Wine is a sixth-level spiritual wine. Can you withstand it?"
The Supreme Emperor held the exquisite wine flask and asked cautiously, lest Li Guanxuan waste his good wine.
Li Guanxuan asked: "Is it brewed with a real dragon whip?"
"Nonsense, what I cut was the dragon whip of the demon ancestor. Do you think it's true or not?" the Supreme Emperor said angrily.
"Fuck..."
"...What the hell do you mean?"
"Nothing, just expressing shock."
"Hahaha... Damn it! Do you really dare to drink it? You have only seven wives and concubines at home, and you dare to drink this Dragon Whip Immortal Wine? Aren't their lives not their lives?"
"..."
Seeing the Supreme Emperor and Li Guanxuan chatting more and more happily, the Supreme Empress and Ji Zhenxiao couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Under the current situation, the Supreme Emperor seems to like Li Guanxuan even more?
Why is this? !
