After the breakthrough, Chen Yuan practiced in the room for another half a day, and it was only when his cultivation was completely stable that he was finished.
Although he is still at the level of Xudan, his strength has reached almost the level of Tiandan. The only uncertainty now is whether he can defeat the powerful Tiandan.
After all, he had only watched Master Tiandan take action from beginning to end, and had never fought against such a being. Therefore, there was no accurate measurement.
He was in desperate need of an opponent to measure against.
Of course, this was just a thought. He didn't really have to find a fight with such an opponent. He didn't have that thought or mood.
If possible, he even hoped that his strength would not be known.
The more careful you are, the longer you will live.
The hustle and bustle in the capital was still going on, perhaps due to the deliberate promotion of some people. In short, in just a few days, half of the people in the capital knew that Chen Yuan was already confronting the fourth prince Sima Ke.
The contradiction is deep.
And this is also very pleasant to see. One is the current prince, and the other is a peerless Qianlong who is famous in the world. Neither of them is a good person.
Many people want to see who wins and who loses between them.
The eldest prince Sima Qian and the second prince Sima You, who had previously intended to invite Chen Yuan to the palace for a chat, have made no move now. They seem to be waiting to see the good show.
Wait until the last moment before coming forward to interact with Chen Yuan.
But this means nothing to Chen Yuan. He has no interest in paying attention to these things. The top priority is to practice martial arts and the ancestor worship hall is approaching.
The more strength you can add, the more hope you have of saving your life.
At least, that's how it seems to Chen Yuan...
Although he has now broken through to the realm of indestructibility, he has not reached the peak directly. There is still a long way to go. If he wants to break through to the 'self-generation of supernatural powers', he must polish his physical body to the extreme.
A few days passed by in a flash.
The past few days seemed peaceful, but in fact there was an undercurrent. The people sent by the fourth prince Sima Ke to Qingzhou came back, and as expected they brought back Xiao Qingmu's wanted order.
What made him most angry was that the time when this wanted order was issued was when Chen Yuan was attending the banquet.
He was lying to him, and he believed it!
It's too late to say anything now, can he still find Chen Yuan again?
You must know that this wanted order is now in effect. Chen Yuan was right to arrest Xiao Qingmu, and the news he learned was that Xiao Qingmu was not sent to the prison, but disappeared quietly...
He definitely died in Chen Yuan's hands.
I just don’t know if there was any... before killing her.
Thinking of Xiao Qingmu's graceful figure and the treasure she promised him, Sima Ke couldn't help but have a murderous look in his eyes. Chen Yuan, this thorn in his side, if the thorn in his flesh is not removed, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
Under the operation of the fourth prince, provocations and temptations quickly moved towards Chen Yuan after being silent for several days, and the court also began to impeach him.
There are even many guards under him who deliberately stumble.
Tao Qingyuan reported this matter to Chen Yuan, and he just said coldly:
"Check the background of these people."
After an investigation, it turned out that these people were not that clean. They were directly arrested by Chen Yuan on various charges, which also made his reputation for ruthlessness quickly begin to spread within the Tianxun Division.
The other two deputy commanders were a little frightened, fearing that Chen Yuan would burn them.
At the same time, Chen Yuan's counterattack continued.
Under the instruction of Zhang Yantong, the envoy of Xuanzi, at the court meeting, some officials directly impeached Yang Hucheng for seven deadly sins, which prompted Jingtai to issue an order for a thorough investigation.
The conflict between Chen Yuan and Sima Ke completely began to intensify.
In the harem at this moment.
When she learned that the emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate her brother, Concubine Yang immediately became angry. She knew that her brother's butt was dirty.
Once they are found out, even if they don't die, they will still be sent to the frontier.
But she only had such a precious brother, how could she be willing to let him die?
After the anger, he became worried, and he hurriedly prepared to go to the emperor to plead for mercy, but was stopped outside the door, saying that his majesty was currently retreating with the imperial master and no one should disturb him.
After learning the emperor's reply, the graceful Concubine Yang immediately smashed a valuable vase. She also felt hatred for Chen Yuan in her heart, feeling that he was the one who wanted to put her brother to death.
He must pay the price.
Princess Pingyang on the side looked at her current angry appearance, completely losing her previous grace and splendor, and said in a deep voice:
"Mother, concubine, Pingyang feels that what the father said is not unreasonable. In recent years, my uncle has indeed committed many crimes in the capital with the support of your mother and concubine.
Now you dare to keep prostitutes in captivity and disrespect your superiors..."
Before she finished speaking, she was immediately stopped by Concubine Yang:
"Shut up, Pingyang, no matter what, Hu Cheng is your uncle, how can you talk to outsiders? Don't you know that Chen Yuan also humiliated Ke'er on the spot?
As the imperial sister, if you don't want to save face for your brother, why do you still want to speak for him?
Do you still have my mother-in-law in your eyes? "
Pingyang was silent. She had known since she was a child that her mother-in-law did not like her because she was a daughter and did not become the first prince to make Jingtai like her.
As a result, the eldest prince's mother-in-law overshadowed her.
However, it was precisely in this way that Pingyang developed an independent character and gave birth to the eldest princess Pingyang, who was both civil and military in the royal family.
"Why don't you continue?"
Concubine Yang stared at Princess Pingyang.
She faced her mother-in-law directly and said calmly:
"What does the concubine want me to say?"
"Aren't you usually very scheming? Why don't you plan for your brother how to deal with Chen Yuan and rescue your uncle from the Tianxuan Division."
"Deal with Chen Yuan?" Pingyang said in a deep voice:
"What the emperor brother should do is to make good friends with Chen Yuan, show his heart to those who are concerned about this matter in the capital, and eliminate relatives in a just and righteous way, instead of antagonizing Chen Yuan for the sake of a mere remnant of Qingyun. As for his uncle...it would be better to teach him a lesson. "
She is not speaking for Chen Yuan, but looking at it from the perspective of a bystander, this is the best choice. As a prince, how can he not have the slightest heart?
This matter seems to be just a small matter, but in fact it has attracted the attention of countless people. Even my father, who has lived in the palace for a long time, may be paying attention to this matter.
"You..." Concubine Yang stared at her daughter, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and was speechless for a moment.
Pingyang lowered his eyes and said no more words.
Taking a deep breath, Concubine Yang turned her eyes to the palace maid beside her and said in a deep voice:
"Come here, please pass on my decree to summon Chen Yuan into the palace. I want to personally meet Chen Yuan, the famous demon swordsman in the world!"
"Your Majesty, the important place in the harem..."
The maid on the side quickly reminded.
This is an important part of the harem, and foreign ministers are strictly prohibited from entering the palace. If the news reaches Jingtai's ears, it will inevitably cause some unpleasantness.
Pingyang watched with cold eyes without saying a word.
She has expressed her opinion, but the mother-in-law still doesn't listen, so it has nothing to do with her. She is self-reliant and independent, but she actually doesn't have much feelings for her mother-in-law, who is related by blood.
She has her own plans.
Concubine Yang snorted softly:
"Is the commander of the imperial city considered a foreign minister?"
As the commander guarding the imperial city, Chen Yuan could enter the harem. Of course, he had to be summoned into the palace, but it was just more convenient.
Usually if there is something wrong in the palace, the commander of the Eastern Imperial City is summoned.
Because this is the closest to the harem.
This was one of the reasons why Yang Yuanqing wanted to be the commander of the Eastern Imperial City.
"this...."
"Go quickly!"
"Yes, I obey your order!"
...
...
"Summon me into the palace?"
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and stared at the eunuch in front of him, his eyes moving slightly.
This Yang Guifei is really interesting, because a mere Yang Hucheng actually asked her to come to the palace to see her. Doesn't she know that this matter has been handed over to the Tianxun Division?
Is it jointly handled by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Tiantian Patrol Division?
Even he has no right to give orders now, but he actually put pressure on him, and really treated him like a soft persimmon.
If he breaks through Huayang and becomes the real person of Huayang, will Concubine Yang still dare?
The little eunuch who announced the decree put on a fake smile:
"The imperial concubine's oral instructions have been delivered, so I will not stay any longer. Before noon today, I hope Commander Chen will not be late."
"I know."
Chen Yuan glanced at the eunuch, turned around and left directly.
The emperor's decree is called the imperial decree, and the queen's decree is called the Yi decree. These are orders that cannot be violated, while those like Concubine Yang are called 'imperial decrees'.
For a third-grade official or above, this would be nothing, but for his current official position and strength, it is really impossible not to go.

That being the case, go for it.
It just so happened that he also wanted to see what the harem was like.
Are they really three thousand beauties?
Of course, the main purpose is to take this opportunity to explore the situation in the harem first, and then find an opportunity to carefully search for the dragon vein place in the harem that suppresses Senior Moro.
He has not been idle in the past few days. In addition to practicing every day, he also investigated one of the suspicious places mentioned by Jiang He before.
Now, except for the area in the south of the city that has not yet been explored, only the harem remains.
Even if this place is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, we still have to break into it.
Um....
Jingtai has not been blessed with any concubines in recent years. Maybe they are really a tiger's den for him...
The little eunuch saw Chen Yuan turning around and leaving without paying attention to him. He felt some contempt, but he didn't say anything more and left quickly with a slight snort.
With Chen Yuan's current status as a fourth-rank official, although he could not be called a high official in the imperial court, he was definitely above average and there was no need for him to please a eunuch at all.
Even Yang Yuanqing, the godson of the chief steward of the palace, he could hit without fail. A young eunuch with poor cultivation did not catch his eye.
These eunuchs also look down upon others and look down on others.
If faced with the existence of the true king, he would like to kneel on the ground and declare his decree.
After the eunuch left, Chen Yuan didn't take it too seriously.
The other party would just scold him a few times, but would he really dare to serve him with swords and axes on both sides?
If that were the case, then it seemed like he could only fight his way out.
Tao Qingyuan on the side looked at Chen Yuan with some worry after listening to the oral instructions, as if he was afraid that something would happen to him in the palace. After all, no matter what, the reason why Chen Yuan was summoned to the palace was because of the imperial concubine.
She is second only to the queen in the palace.
With Chen Yuan's current size, it seems that there is still something to be done.
The visitor is not good!
Chen Yuan gave Tao Qingyuan a reassuring look, and then returned to the room to continue practicing. He almost watched the time approaching, then slowly stood up.
He put on an official uniform and headed towards the harem with an expressionless face.
This is the first time Chen Yuan has come here. It is indeed a palace and a garden. Although it is winter, the place is still full of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. It is obvious that formations have been set up around it.
At the same time, the vitality of heaven and earth is also very strong.
A big deal indeed.
Entering the harem was very troublesome. Chen Yuan went through many layers of questioning before entering. He didn't move very fast and looked carefully at the nearby palaces.
But I am drawing a map in my mind.
With his photographic memory, once he saw something, he would not forget it in a short time. When it was almost done, he asked a palace guard and went straight to Concubine Yang's palace.
At this moment, inside Chunhua Palace.
Concubine Yang, who was dressed in palace attire, had a gloomy face, obviously suppressing her anger. Chen Yuan hadn't come yet, how dare he disobey her orders?
If this is the case, he must be punished.
"How long is it until noon?" Yang Guifei's eyes narrowed and she asked casually.
"If I want to reply to you, I still have a quarter of an hour."
A palace maid immediately replied.
"Why should mother-in-law be anxious? Since he has given an oral order, I am afraid that Commander Chen will not be late on purpose without knowing the importance of the matter, but with his character, he will always be cautious."
Pingyang said calmly.
She wanted to say goodbye and leave, but her mother-in-law refused.
"snort."
Concubine Yang snorted coldly.
Even if you pinch her a little bit, it's still contempt for her.
This Chen Yuan is really arrogant and arrogant. He would dare to be so disrespectful to a noble concubine like her, if it weren't for his background status.
How could it be so?
She was thinking about how to deal with Chen Yuan with a gloomy face, when suddenly a palace maid entered the palace and reported:
"Mother, Commander Chen is here."
"Let him in."
Concubine Yang said in a deep voice.
Outside Chunhua Palace, Chen Yuan looked at her, standing with his hands behind his hands, his eyes calm and without any fear. A noble concubine... was not worthy of his fear.
In other words, there is nothing in this world that can scare him.
Chen is not afraid of anything!
"Envoy Chen Qing, my Majesty allows you to come in."
The palace maid whispered.
"Well, thank you."
Chen Yuan walked into the Chunhua Palace expressionlessly. The interior was antique and filled with precious porcelain and jade. There were not many people in the palace.
There are only a few in total.
Chen Yuan's eyes slowly swept over and settled on Princess Pingyang for a moment. She also stared at Chen Yuan and nodded slightly. Chen Yuan naturally would not pretend not to know her.
He nodded towards Princess Pingyang.
After that, the most worthy of his attention in the entire hall was a beautiful woman at the top. The woman was wearing a light red dress that stretched very long on the ground.
Her skin is very white and translucent, she has an oval face, bright eyes and white teeth, and she has various hairpins on her head. She has a graceful and plump figure.
The curves are very obvious and the chest has ridges. According to his evaluation, it should be second only to Su Ziyue.
Sure enough, to be named a noble concubine, her appearance is absolutely excellent. No wonder she can give birth to a beauty like Princess Pingyang and a handsome man like Sima Ke.
It's a pity that a pair of gloomy faces ruined its beauty.
There was not a single wrinkle on Concubine Yang's face, and she did not look like a woman in her late fifties at all. If someone didn't know her, she would probably be around thirty years old at most.
Chen Yuan sighed secretly, if you are poor, watch what you do, if you are rich, follow your own path.
Emperor, how wonderful!
Concubine Yang also stared at Chen Yuan without saying a word, and the atmosphere became slightly frozen.
In the end, it was Chen Yuan who took the lead to break the deadlock, bowed and clasped his fists and said:
"Wei Chen, the commander of the Eastern Imperial City Division, Chen Yuan, has met the noble concubine."
"Are you Chen Yuan?"
Concubine Yang looked at him coldly.
"Exactly."
Looking at the two people's serious exchanges, Princess Pingyang's eyes flashed with suspicion. She always felt that Chen Yuan was a little different from when she met him before.
His temperament is still cold, but his appearance seems to have improved.
Is it her illusion, or has Chen Yuan changed recently?
Princess Pingyang thought.
It's not that she is a nymphomaniac, but she is a little curious.
After just a few days of missing each other, how could Chen Yuan have changed?
"Do you know why I summoned you to the palace?"
"Wei Chen doesn't know."
"No, you know very well that you sent my brother to the prison, right?"
Chen Yuan raised his head and smiled:
"This matter was indeed done by Wei Chen."
"Just because Hu Cheng was a little late, you actually destroyed all his meridians and sent him to the prison, and collected unwarranted charges against him to convict him.
You also insulted the current prince in the prince's palace and arrested Xiao Qingmu on unfounded charges, which caused everyone in the court to criticize the Fourth Highness. Chen Yuan, you are so brave! "
Concubine Yang scolded sternly.
Chen Yuanping looked at Concubine Yang and said loudly:
"Yang Hucheng disrespected his superiors, took bribes and perverted the law, kept child molesters in captivity, killed people to cover up his crimes, and was punished by everyone. Such a sinner would be punished by being sent to a prison.
Xiao Qingmu was the wanted order personally issued by Mr. Jiang Hejiang, the Golden Envoy of Qingzhou Sky Patrol. Her arrest was in compliance with the government's order. Why is there such an unwarranted reason? "
"You..." Yang Guifei did not expect that Chen Yuan would not give in when facing her, and said coldly:
"Sharp-tongued, you know the truth of these things in your heart. Now I will give you a chance to repent and withdraw the accusations of slandering Yang Hucheng. I will not hold you accountable. Otherwise, don't blame me. Tell your Majesty personally."
As long as the charges are dropped and the relationship is restored, the younger brother will not be sentenced too harshly. If Chen Yuan is wise, through the Zhang Shen Envoy, it will not take long to close the case and release Yang Hucheng.
This is the best option at the moment.
Chen Yuan was not afraid and said with a serious face:
"That being the case, please tell your Majesty, Your Majesty, that I, Chen Yuan, have acted with a clear conscience throughout my life. Why should I be afraid? It's my concubine who interferes in politics in the harem, but it violates the laws of the imperial court."
When it comes to this, there is no room for change.
It doesn't matter whether Yang Hucheng is let go or not, there will be revenge. If that's the case, why give in?
The more the other party behaves like this, the more it proves that he is fierce in appearance and weak in heart.
"How dare you, Chen Yuan, dare to contradict me!"
