[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Career Affectionate

On the night of the full moon, on the top of the purple gold, with a sword coming to the west, immortals fly from the sky.

The biggest event in the world these days is none other than the decisive sword fight between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue at Zijin Mountain on September [-]th.

The decisive battle on August [-]th was postponed for one month, but now the time is getting closer.

But Song Chengyi knew that what they changed was not just the time, the location of the sword competition had long been changed from Zijin Mountain to the Forbidden Top.At the highest point of the palace, on the roof of the Golden Luan Hall.

It seems that it is just a life-and-death battle between two masters, but it is also a conspiracy against the current emperor secretly planned by the Nanwang Palace.

The battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng was too classic, so it was a rare event that Song Chengyi still vaguely remembered.He even knew that Ye Gucheng would be defeated and die.But whether it was Ye Gucheng or Ximen Chuuxue, no matter how famous their reputations were, they were just two people he had never seen before, and he was not interested in their battles.

But he also had to return to the capital on September [-]th.Just because he knew that before that battle, the current emperor would first encounter a usurpation incident initiated by King Nan.If everything develops according to the story with Lu Xiaofeng as the protagonist, this matter should be resolved smoothly.But now it's not just Lu Xiaofeng's world.

Even in the seemingly peaceful court, there are still many unknown factors.

However, after discussing with the emperor about Nan Wang's matter, he still decided to settle it when it was still predictable, that is, let the duel continue.

Even so, Song Chengyi definitely couldn't leave the emperor alone in the palace to face these.So that day he also had to go back to the palace.

For such a long time, he knew that Chu Liuxiang had been looking for him.And because he would go to the capital from time to time, Song Chengyi hadn't been back for several months, and he could only communicate with the emperor daily through letters.If it weren't for this decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, he would not have chosen to go back when Chu Liuxiang was still in the capital.

So, they haven't seen each other for several months...

The competition between the two sword masters was full of excitement in the rivers and lakes. During this time, Chu Liuxiang naturally also came to the capital.As the foot of the emperor, this is also the place with the greatest control and the most secret sentry points.

It was September No. 13 when Song Chengyi rushed to the capital, as long as he passed the report from the secret sentry, he could avoid Chu Liuxiang's place and enter the palace all the way.

As long as he thinks, even if they are in the same place, they can completely stagger.

"...Chu Liuxiang is currently in Chunhua Building, with Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows." Anshao reported Chu Liuxiang's movements to him in detail, and Song Chengyi weakly waved his hand to make people retreat.

Although he hadn't seen Chu Liuxiang for such a long time, he still knew where he went and what he did.

I also know how many places he has traveled to find himself.

Not only did the feelings that he originally wanted to forget not weaken, but because he knew Chu Liuxiang's persistence, he was even a little shaken in his initial thoughts.

But these are not the questions he should think about these days.

Song Chengyi hasn't been to the capital for a long time, but the first thing he does every time he enters the palace is the same.

"I'll go see the Queen Mother first."

The little eunuch who came to pick him up at the gate of the palace also knew this rule, and politely bowed and left.

The servants in the palace are saying that the Compassionate Palace in the Forbidden City is now a huge and luxurious prison, imprisoning the mad Empress Dowager Lifo.

But in fact, neither Song Chengyi nor the emperor intended to confine the Queen Mother to the Compassionate Palace.

The beginning of the Empress Dowager not stepping out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning was the day when the current Holy Majesty ascended the throne and Song Chengyi chose to stay away from the palace for a long time.

When Song Chengyi came to the Compassionate Ning Palace, the voice of the Buddha in the main hall was faint, and the wooden fish was struck rhythmically.

The empress dowager's personal nanny received the news that Song Chengyi was going to enter the palace when he arrived in the capital, so she waited outside the Cining Palace early in the morning, and went up to greet Song Chengyi as soon as she saw him.

"My little master, why did it take me so long to come back, but what's the trouble?" She looked up and down with concern.

"You don't have to worry, Madam Yu, you just got stuck with some things outside the palace. Didn't you come here as soon as you entered the palace?" Song Chengyi stood there and let her watch, "The queen mother is still in good health."

He called him 'Mother Empress' just because the current Empress Dowager is Song Chengyi's biological mother.

"Hey, good boy. The empress is still in good health. If you want to see her, come with me to wash your face and change your clothes first." Yumao sighed, "The empress dowager has a bad temper. Don't blame her."

"Don't worry, mother, I know." Song Chengyi smiled, "I brought some gadgets from all over the place, you can find someone to store them in the warehouse."

Nanny Yu glanced at the guards behind him who were holding various things, and responded softly: "I will find a few things and put them in the empress' room."

Song Chengyi nodded: "Then I will trouble Mammy."

Because the queen mother didn't like him covering her face with disguise, and she didn't want to see him in quack clothes.So every time before Song Chengyi went to see her, he would take off his disguise and put on luxurious clothes.

However, even so, it would not make the Empress Dowager look much better.

"Empress." Song Chengyi knocked on the door twice and stepped into the room where the Empress Dowager was worshiping Buddha, "I'm back."

"I don't have your son." The queen mother still closed her eyes and said without turning her head, "Get out."

Because she would say that almost every time, Song Chengyi got used to turning a deaf ear to these words. He walked in on his own, and knelt down beside the Queen Mother.

It wasn't until this moment that the queen mother glanced at him: "Heh, every time I change into some unknown clothes. When you wear the imperial robe, it won't be too late to come see Ai's family again."

"Mother was joking." Song Chengyi calmly reminded, "The emperor's robe is only worn by the emperor, so don't say such misleading words in the future."

This is the content of the conversation he would have with the Queen Mother every time he came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, every time.

"Misunderstanding? This is the truth. Even if Zhu Chenghong is in front of me, I will still say the same, and see what he can do to Aijia. You are the one, how many times Aijia has to say it before you understand, you are the emperor of my Ming Dynasty!" The Empress Dowager flung her eyes at her, her voice was harsh but not excited, "You should be sitting above ten thousand people, but you are willing to let others take your throne!"

Probably because she said it too many times and was rejected too many times, she has long since lost her initial hoarseness about this matter.

"I only know that you promised him the throne at the beginning." Song Chengyi said indifferently, "And the emperor has been doing very well since he ascended the throne. You can see this with your own eyes."

If it was the original queen mother, she would never have such a big opinion on this matter, but on the day the first emperor died, the queen mother, who was still a queen, was also held hostage and suffered a big blow. After being rescued, I also forgot many things.

Especially about the fact that Zhu Chenghong, the current emperor, was personally ordered to be carried to replace Song Chengyi.

Before that, she had always taken good care of the two of them regardless of their closeness.Although Zhu Chenghong was raised in the open and Song Chengyi was raised in the dark, when there were no outsiders, the two children who looked the same had always been raised together like brothers.

But now, she only remembered that Zhu Chenghong was not her parent and child.

"Without your help, what could he have accomplished." The Queen Mother said coldly, "Well done? So good that people from the world will come to my palace for a martial arts competition?"

"...The queen mother actually knows about this?" Song Chengyi asked.

"Hmph, you really think I'm a fool." The queen mother snorted, "It's really damaging my royal dignity when this happens."

"Mother, don't worry, my son is here for this matter." Song Chengyi comforted, "I will definitely help the emperor solve it smoothly."

"Who wants you to help him solve it!" The queen mother slammed the wooden fish, "Aijia wants you to replace him! Don't you understand!"

"Mother, please forgive my son for not understanding." Song Chengyi also turned his head, just in time to meet the eyes of the queen mother who was looking over at the same time.

The queen mother gasped twice, and suppressed her anger again: "If you don't ascend the throne, the Ai family will not come out of the Compassionate Palace."

Song Chengyi responded calmly: "My son is unfilial. There has been only one answer to this matter from the beginning. After so many years, mother still doesn't understand."

But after finishing the last sentence, his attitude immediately softened a little: "We were all raised by our mothers, and even the emperor is the one who has been with you all the time. He knows that you have always had disrespectful thoughts, but he never Blame you. He also regards you as his mother."

"But he is not the flesh and blood of me and the emperor after all." The sound of knocking on the wooden fish stopped, and the queen mother still insisted, "From the beginning, the prince should be yours, and the throne should also be yours."

Song Chengyi shook his head and remained silent.They have been talking about this matter for several years but they still can't make it clear to the queen mother, so he naturally didn't think about making her think about it now, and fortunately the emperor didn't care.

"I heard that you are entangled with a man outside?" The Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject.

Song Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and the figure of Chu Liuxiang immediately appeared in his mind, but he quickly denied it: "Where did my mother hear the rumors?"

"Rumor? It's good that you know the rumors yourself." The wooden fish's voice sounded again, "A small thief in the rivers and lakes deserves to make you so afraid."

"Si Ming told you?" Song Chengyi frowned slightly, "Brother Chu and I are just friends."

"My friend will not let you deliberately send someone to monitor your whereabouts for so long." The queen mother opened her eyes and saw that his expression had changed, and his voice was more serious than when he just said the question of the throne, "It seems to be true."

"Mother misunderstood." Song Chengyi said while thinking that he would remove Si Ming's heavy punishment when he went back, "It's just that there are some things that make it inconvenient to meet with him."

"I don't care about other things." The queen mother suddenly said, "Since you don't want to be the throne, you can quickly find a woman to give me a big fat grandson, and Aijia will let him take it."
