There are too many ruthless, domineering women who are considered "losers"!

Shouning Palace.

In front of Murong Yuyan were many freshly picked plum blossoms.

Her slender fingers were fiddling with the flower buds, but she was clearly somewhat distracted.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor reports that he is unable to participate in the fight against the demons and will not be able to take action tomorrow."

The wealthy eunuch burst in, reporting the latest news.

Murong Yuyan snorted coldly: "That old fellow has been hiding from me ever since that night, and he even instructed me not to reveal the assassin's affairs, as it would harm the foundation of the country and shake the people's hearts. How could I not know this? The Grand Preceptor must be plotting something in secret again."

For some reason, Murong Yuyan's right eyelid kept twitching.

A sense of unease welled up inside me.

She shook her head and said, "Forget it, none of them care. If the Great Yuan Dynasty is gone, then so be it."

Upon hearing these extremely irresponsible words, Grandpa Fu's heart skipped a beat.

He was a former servant of the late emperor, having served him since his time in the Eastern Palace.

Later, feeling frustrated by his unfulfilled ambitions and watching his colleagues enter the palace and seize power while he himself had accomplished nothing, he joined the Empress Dowager's faction.

Those were all foolish things I did when I was young.

Deep down, he still hoped for peace and prosperity for the Yuan Dynasty and for its people.

Murong Yuyan seemed to sense the strangeness in the person beside her, and looked at her with a smile: "Does the eunuch seem to have a grudge against me?"

"How dare I, a mere servant!"

The wealthy eunuch knelt down in fear.

Murong Yuyan paced back and forth in the palace with her tall and graceful figure, staring at her fingernails as she recalled: "If one day you also despise me for abandoning the Great Yuan Dynasty, if the late emperor had not betrayed me, I would not have been able to sit on this position of Empress Dowager. He would not have been bedridden and passed away."

Upon hearing these blatant words, the wealthy eunuch felt utterly hopeless.

The Empress Dowager mentioned the secrets of that year and told them to him.

It wasn't that I trusted him; I had long considered him a dead man!

Only now did Eunuch Fu recall the words His Majesty had spoken that day.

He seemed to finally understand what it meant.

This was to keep him away from the Empress Dowager.

"Eunuch Fu, you know too much. It's no wonder I'm not blamed."

Murong Yuyan picked up a wine cup, her body radiating pink true energy, and her eyes flashing with a cold light.

She then handed the wine cup, infused with her Zhou Tian Poison Technique, to the wealthy eunuch.

"Thank you for the wine, Your Majesty."

The old man knew his fate was sealed and that this day would come sooner or later, so he simply stopped being afraid.

Raise your glass and reflect on your life.

Although he did not reach the highest rank of a minister, he served two emperors and witnessed firsthand the Empress Dowager's path to seizing power through tyranny and murder.

There's nothing to regret.

The only pity is that we didn't get to see this young emperor achieve anything.

After an incense stick has burned.

As the two young eunuchs outside the gate carried a load covered with a white cloth away from Shouning Palace.

A young eunuch, barely a teenager, witnessed the incident while on duty.

His eyes showed horror, but he still covered his mouth tightly to keep himself from making a sound.

Godfather!

Suddenly, he remembered something his godfather had told him.

If one day he suddenly dies.

You must take that letter to the Emperor's bedchamber.

In this way, one can obtain temporary wealth and stability.

......

At this moment.

In the courtyard of Chongyuan Hall.

"Three mountains and nine passes, six caves and nine palaces, above the Meichong Pass, below the Golden Gate, condensing in the central courtyard..."

Lu Chang'an is practicing stances and boxing to solidify his martial arts foundation.

This Yang Shen Eighteen Stops cultivates the acupoints and qi palaces, emphasizing the circulation route, and can be considered a top-tier cultivation method.

He has already practiced up to the ninth stop.

He also successfully broke through to the third level of the Grandmaster realm, the Qi Concealment stage.

If placed in the army, he might be a squad leader, commanding ten men.

Lu Chang'an felt no joy whatsoever.

This level of cultivation will be of no use in tomorrow's battle to defend the city.

He couldn't even defeat a minor demon with ten years of cultivation.

In the courtyard, a beautiful woman leaned against the door, holding a sword and observing for a while.

"Who taught you your luck-enhancing techniques?"

Gu Wushuang stepped forward with her arms crossed, her eyes cold and clear, and questioned him in this way.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an already had a plan. He said earnestly, "Naturally, it was the fairy sister who taught me."

Gu Wushuang had no doubts after hearing this.

Instead, he muttered to himself, "That's really biased."

This method of cultivating luck was taught to her by her master three years after she went up the mountain.

We've only known each other for a short time, yet the Master has already passed this technique on to the young emperor.

This shows how much she valued him.

Whenever the young emperor is mentioned, he is invariably praised.

Now that this method has been taught again, does Master really want to use the young emperor to expand the influence of Rakshasa Demon Ancestor Mountain so that he can take control of the Central Plains?

Even Gu Wushuang sometimes couldn't fathom her master's thoughts.

She could only scoff, "Smooth talker, what fairy sister? My master is over five hundred years old."

Lu Chang'an's expression was strange: "Even the Ancestor didn't complain, so why are you complaining? Or... are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wushuang's eyes widened.

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized why I should get angry with him.

She is the chief disciple of the Demon Ancestor Mountain who has cultivated for a hundred years and is the current sect leader. How could she not even have this much Dao heart and composure?

Gu Wushuang held her breath.

Calm down, and curse inwardly.

It really was an inner demon.

Don't be so smug. Sooner or later, I will kill you.

Gu Wushuang tentatively asked, "She only taught you the Eighteen Stops?"

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Chang'an thought for a moment and said.

Gu Wushuang pondered, "This is merely a method of circulating qi. If you truly want to cultivate, a method of circulating qi alone is far from enough. You also need another killing technique. Our sect's Absolute Jade Luo Technique is exclusively for women, so you cannot learn it."

"If you want to make any progress in your cultivation, you will need a proper and orthodox cultivation method to focus on."

When she first went up the mountain.

Her master gave her a set of three beginner's items.

Absolute Jade Luo Technique, Demonic Sword Slaying Blood, Ice Lotus Cicada Robe.

It seems that her master still dotes on her more.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Wushuang felt much better.

Lu Chang'an laughed and said, "That's easy. Our Great Yuan's Scripture Pavilion is known for collecting all the world's most unique martial arts techniques. How could it not have a superior cultivation method?"

Gu Wushuang coldly reminded him: "It is best to choose the method that is most suitable for you. Once you choose, it is not easy to start over and it is a waste of time. You need to think carefully about whether to practice fist or sword first."

"Let's talk about it later, there's no rush."

After finishing his boxing practice, Lu Chang'an rubbed his arms, glanced at her, and said, "As a palace maid, you have to act like one. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if others saw you and became suspicious."

"My shoulders are a little sore today, could you give me a massage?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wushuang's eyes slowly narrowed.

Behind the scenes, a small hand rested on Lu Chang'an's shoulder.

"Ouch! Be gentle! Be gentle!"

Lu Chang'an cried out in pain.

"You're trying to murder me!"

Lu Chang'an rubbed his shoulder and found that it was already red and swollen.

However, the fatigue and hidden ailments caused by practicing martial arts also disappeared.

Gu Wushuang leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and said casually, "You certainly know how to enjoy yourself."

"My master's order is for me to protect you, not to serve you."

"Your aptitude is too poor. The Eighteen Stops are so simple, and you haven't even learned them all yet. Before you can learn them, the demon army will have already reached the city walls."

Lu Chang'an knew she had a cold exterior but a warm heart, so he smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a great river is formed from countless small streams."

Suddenly, Gu Wushuang looked up and gazed outside the main hall.

"Someone is looking for you."

"Oh?"

Lu Chang'an was also extremely puzzled.

At this time, who would come looking for me?

"Let him in."

After the door was opened, a young eunuch, no more than ten years old, appeared.

He knelt down upon seeing him.

"Little Gao greets Your Majesty!"

"This is a letter from my godfather; please take a look, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chang'an frowned and asked, "Who is your godfather?"

The young eunuch realized he had acted rashly in his anxiety and immediately replied, "It's Eunuch Fu!"

Lu Chang'an seemed to have anticipated this, but he still questioned, "Why did Eunuch Fu summon you? Where is he?"

The young eunuch's face was filled with grief: "My godfather... he has already been ordered to commit suicide by the Empress Dowager!"

Lu Chang'an was not surprised after hearing this.

This calamity was destined to befall the wealthy eunuch.

He had already warned him, but there was no turning back once the arrow was released.

Lu Chang'an took the letter from the eunuch, opened it, and quickly scanned it.

In an instant, his pupils contracted, revealing a look of horror.

The things recorded inside were truly momentous.

If this were to leak out, the entire Yuan Dynasty would likely be thrown into turmoil.
