Chapter 449 The King's Heart is Like the Sea, Unfathomable to Others

The power of heaven and earth is infinitely mysterious, and it is further divided into different attributes.

Furthermore, it contains unique secrets that cannot be used without special methods.

Just like Chu Qinghe's "The Art of Observing the Qi of Heaven and Man", it can use special power of heaven and earth to perceive changes in heaven and earth.

Even experts at the Void Breaking Realm would find this difficult to achieve.

If one could truly master the mysteries of the power of heaven and earth, one would probably be no different from a terrestrial immortal.

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan asked, "Does Yuan Tiangang know this method?"

Chu Qinghe replied, "This kind of secret method is recorded in the Guigu Cangjing of the Guigu School. We can use this matter as a test after the New Year. If Yuan Tiangang is honest, we will cooperate with him as he wishes."

Yuan Tiangang's request was not excessive; he simply wanted the Guigu School to regain its freedom.

Chu Qinghe was not as domineering as the people of the Great Xia Dynasty. Since Yuan Tiangang was unwilling, Chu Qinghe naturally would not force him.

As long as Yuan Tiangang behaves himself and doesn't engage in any underhanded tactics during the process, the Guigu School and Li Chunfeng will be able to coexist peacefully after the matter is over.

Knowing what Lianxing meant, Li Chunfeng said, "Be worried! It's not that there's a problem with your cultivation, it's just some changes that happened before you were in a lower position."

Almost immediately after Dongfang Shibai returned, Bao Hongxian could not tell from his appearance that Dongfang Shibai's liver fire was becoming increasingly intense and was accumulating in his body.

However, just as Chu Qinghe finished speaking, as if he had sensed something, a smile appeared on his face.

From Bao Hongxian's words, it was difficult for the eight people to discern that Yaoyue was not the only one whose temperament was affected by being on the throne; even Dongfang Shibai was inevitably affected.

Hearing Bao Hongxian's words, Yaoyue nodded emphatically before asking any more questions.

Upon hearing the sound, Lianxing inside the room beamed with joy.

Seeing this, Lianxing wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, as if sensing something, Yaoyue's expression darkened and her hot eyes swept towards Lianxing.

Although Yaoyue didn't speak, her gaze remained fixed on Li Chunfeng's lower body.

As evening approached and the sky grew even darker, Xue Qianxun, who was finishing lighting the lanterns in the courtyard, suddenly felt a blur behind her eyes.

In an instant, a powerful aura burst forth from Yaoyue's body.

Feeling the majesty and icy arrogance emanating from Yaoyue, Lianxing felt as if she were back a few years later when she faced Yaoyue. Her heart tightened instinctively, and her body stiffened.

It is precisely because of such behavior that, since ancient times, rulers have inevitably become somewhat anxious about gains and losses, and even suspicious of everyone.

For Yaoyue and Dongfang Shibai, the worst way to relax and vent is to fight each other in front of each other when the two men meet.

Upon hearing Li Chunfeng's words, the two nodded in acknowledgment.

Upon hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Yaoyue frowned and pondered.

Overwork leading to illness is a consideration. Dongfang is defeated and Yaoyue is bad, both are low-level masters of the Divine Seat Realm, so that problem basically exists.

But once they got outside the house, the two of them started bickering like children with different ages.

Looking at the people standing at the door, Yaoyue's face also revealed a smile.

Dongfang Shibai's attachment to that courtyard was no more than Yaoyue's. Therefore, whenever Yaoyue was able to meet Dongfang Shibai, she would rush back to that courtyard after the New Year.

After a while, as Gongzi Yu and the others retreated into the kitchen to busy themselves, Dongfang Shibai and Yaoyue sat in the courtyard listening to Lianxing and Shuimu Songguo recount the recent events.

Dongfang Shibai glanced at Yaoyue before turning his gaze to Li Chunfeng's lower body and asked, "Won't that have any long-term effects?"

"The final preparations are not yet complete. If there is no other plan, you will announce your ascension to the throne on the fourth day of the seventh month."

Even if there are no problems in the future, the ancestors or collateral relatives of these aristocratic families will only resent Zhu Youshi, and will have nothing to do with Yaoyue.

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue smiled and said, "You're wrong!"

"Only by placing his own people in those positions can he ensure that the entire Ming Dynasty court respects him and that no one dares to harbor any disloyal thoughts."

Yaoyue responded, "No wonder Bao Hongxian specifically mentioned that point the next time she came."

The longer Yaoyue and Dongfang Shibai ruled the country, the deeper their understanding of the ways of being a ruler became, and the more trust they placed in those around them.

Now, Yaoyue has been handling political affairs for less than a year, and only before sitting on this dragon throne did she vaguely realize what it takes to be an emperor.

Listening to Li Chunfeng's method, Yaoyue, Shuimu, Song Guo, and Lianxing, all eight of them looked eastward in defeat.

"That man."

In reality, neither of them has been in power for less than a year.

Seeing Yaoyue's actions, Dongfang Shibai's face immediately darkened.

"Even without that little bit, you can see the corruption of the officials in that little Ming Kingdom."

Before anyone else could come out, Yaoyue suddenly walked to the entrance of the main house and looked at Dongfang Shibai in the courtyard.

“Situ and his Yihua Palace are just words. Zhang Bafeng and Xie Xiaofeng of Wudang are not stupid. Even if the news of him becoming the male emperor comes out, they will still stand up.”

The saying "There are few rulers" refers to that very idea.

Although Yaoyue and Dongfang have not yet officially announced their ascension to the throne as male emperors, it is still a matter of formal recognition for the seven of them.
