Chapter 4: The Tenth Princess
After that, Zhou An never left Changchun Palace, trying out the Yin-Yang sexual techniques on the concubines until the next morning.
Such behavior surprised the Purple Guards who were secretly monitoring them. It was already unreasonable, and the Queen Mother was also surprised when she reported it.
But he didn't say anything, he just asked the Purple Guards to control the emperor's medicine and prevent him from dying early.
After a day of practice, Zhou An was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the exquisite Yin-Yang art of sex. While enjoying it, he used the Yin-Yang energies to strengthen his body, internal strength and spirit.
This is something that no magical skill can do. At least all the martial arts that Zhou An knows either increase internal strength or strengthen the body, and very few can enhance mental strength.
Even if there is something that can enhance mental strength, it will have little effect on improving internal strength and physical body.
This kind of simultaneous improvement of the three is simply incredible. Even the most powerful magical skill inherited from the royal family of Qianyuan Empire, the Haohan Qiankun Jue, only enhances internal strength and the physical body.
I didn't expect there is such a practice method in the world. I suddenly feel that the protagonists in the novels I read before were so weak and couldn't be as happy as I am.
However, he knew that someone had poisoned him, so he pretended to take the medicines that were sent to him, but in fact he secretly stored them into the system space.
The next morning, instead of feeling tired at all after a night of practice, he felt refreshed and energetic.
Suddenly, the palace door was kicked open, and a girl in a goose yellow dress rushed in angrily. Seeing that Zhou An was still on the woman, she was so angry that she drew the sword of the guard beside her and rushed over to chop at the concubines.
The concubines screamed and fled in all directions. Long swords stabbed towards them. Zhou An sat up without dodging and pretended to be frightened.
He knew that the Tenth Princess Zhou Lingsha would not kill him. Even if she really stabbed him, she would not be able to hurt him with her mediocre kung fu.
The sixty years of internal strength to protect the body is not just for show. If a weak 12-year-old girl can hurt him with one sword, then all the internal strength will be wasted.
The tip of the sword stopped in front of him, and a purple-clad guard appeared silently beside Zhou An, with the sword blade clamped between her fingers.
"Lingsha, what are you doing here? Go back quickly." Zhou An scolded. He was doing this for Zhou Lingsha's own good. If the Queen Mother felt that she would hinder her way, Zhou Lingsha's life would be over.
"Ninth brother, you are the emperor. Look at what you do all day long. Do you know what people in the world say about you? All you do is spend the whole day in debauchery with these evil women. Do you want our Zhou Dynasty to be destroyed?" Zhou Lingsha roared in anger, let go of the hilt of the sword, rushed forward and started hitting with her fist.
He was grabbed by the purple guards and thrown to the ground. Zhou An frowned. He couldn't let the purple guards do it, so he immediately shouted: "Enough, I am the emperor, I know my limits, go back to your Chuxiu Palace immediately."
"Zhou An, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Zhou family?" Zhou Lingsha was so angry that tears fell.
Zhou An frowned, not because she scolded him, but because he felt that Zhou Lingsha was in danger. She was still young and knew what was good and what was bad, but she couldn't see the whole picture and it was difficult for her to control her emotions.
He immediately went up to her, grabbed the furious Zhou Lingsha and said angrily: "You are a rebel. If you don't behave yourself, I will lock you up."
Zhou Lingsha pushed Zhou An away angrily. Looking at Zhou An's expression and the purple-clothed guards with unfriendly looks, she suddenly realized that doing this might really kill two people.
Seeing Zhou Lingsha calm down, Zhou An showed his anger and said, "Let you make trouble. I will personally take you back and you are not allowed to leave Chuxiu Palace in the future."
This time Zhou Lingsha did not resist. Under Zhou An's scolding, she was escorted back angrily and unwillingly. Of course, the little girl was also smart. She pretended to be angry and unwilling all the way and kept cursing.
Zhou An also took the opportunity to sign in to the East Palace. Unfortunately, he couldn't walk around randomly this time. He only signed in at five palaces and all he got were some antiques or books.
After sending her back, Zhou An gave her a final look and then scolded her to stay here safely.
On the surface, he taught the girl a severe lesson, and then left in anger, asking the palace maids here to watch over the princess and not allow her to leave Chuxiu Palace.
On the way back, I deliberately took another route and checked in at a few more palaces.
Inside Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother listened to the report from the Purple Guards. She frowned slightly when she learned that Zhou Lingsha had done such a thing, and then asked calmly, "How old is the Tenth Princess this year?"
"12 years old." The purple-robed guard next to him answered immediately.
"12 years old. Well, four years is too long. When she is 14, find a neighboring country to marry. We can also use it to win over and contain other countries." The Queen Mother said casually, as if it was not a marriage of people, but a transaction of goods.
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor's recent behavior is full of suspicious points. After sending the Tenth Princess back, he deliberately took a detour for some reason. Moreover, he had sex with those concubines all night last night, but not only did he not look exhausted, but his face was rosy and his complexion was excellent. This is not reasonable." said Purple Guard No. 7.
"How could such a thing happen? What did the Imperial Medical Bureau say?" The Queen Mother was also surprised. This was something that not ordinary people could do.
"The drugs are very potent, and they are mixed together to make them even more effective. Even elderly people can feel full of energy after taking them. The emperor is only 16 years old, and his body is already strong. If he takes this kind of drug, the effect will definitely be amazing. However, it will cause great harm to the body. The stronger the drug, the greater the toxicity.
But this night with four concubines and more than 20 palace maids was beyond their imagination, and medical books have never recorded such a medicinal effect. "Said Purple Guard No. 7.
The Queen Mother smiled. The more Zhou An indulged himself in women, the better news it was for her. As for any harm to his health, she would not hesitate.
He waved his hand and said, "Ask the Imperial Hospital to check Zhou An's health at any time. As long as he doesn't die in the next few years, it will be fine. Didn't the Western Region envoy send some beautiful women from the Western Region? Send them to him. Remember, make sure these women have never practiced martial arts to prevent them from assassinating Zhou An."
"I understand." Purple Guard No. 7 saluted, quietly flew away and disappeared.
When they returned to Changchun Palace, the concubines had already fallen asleep in the next room. They did not have Zhou An's martial arts skills, so they naturally could not endure a night of fun.
A new group of people came up to sing and dance. Not long after they started, a purple-robed guard came in and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Western Regions have sent 31 beauties. 15 of them are skilled in martial arts and may be harmful to Your Majesty, so they have been sent back. There are still 16 people sent here. Please take a look and decide whether to keep them."
"Bring them in." Zhou An didn't know what the purpose of the countries in the Western Regions was. The Queen Mother blocked all information from the outside, so he had no way of judging the purpose of these people.
We can only judge based on the history of the earth. There are many countries in the Western Regions, and there are more than thirty countries with some strength. It is impossible for them to send beauties to the Qianyuan Empire for no reason.
I just don't know if it's to please him or for some other purpose. If it's to please him, he would naturally be happy to accept it. If there is some other purpose, then it's hard to say. Fortunately, he now has sixty years of martial arts experience, plus the Emperor's Sword, so it's impossible for him to be easily assassinated.
Since the Queen Mother agreed to have it delivered, it must have gone through strict screening and should have a high safety factor.
In addition, what he is doing now must make the Queen Mother feel that he is a licentious and immoral monarch who loves beauty more than the country, so that she can feel at ease.
Sixteen women dressed in Western costumes arrived at his wine table and saluted, and the purple-robed guards walked to stand on both sides of Zhou An.
These women are all extraordinarily beautiful, and their clothing and appearance are different from those of the people in the Qianyuan Empire, giving people a refreshing feeling.
The woman in the lead was wearing a blue Cui Yan shirt, a pleated skirt with green grass and water mist, and a light blue Cui Shui gauze.
Her waist is as slender as a willow, her face is like a lotus, her eyes are as clear as spring water, her skin is as white as cream and her breath is as fragrant as orchid, her every frown and smile is captivating.
"Your Highness."
The woman walked forward gracefully and bowed to Zhou An. Her eyes were full of spring light and her face was charming. She was indescribably alluring, and that look seemed to be able to draw one's soul away.
Zhou An was also confused by her expression and was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, the Yin-Yang technique made him clear-headed, so he was stunned for a moment.
Just as he was about to speak, the palace maids and two concubines around him suddenly fell down, and even the purple guards on both sides and the purple guard No. 7 who was hiding in secret fell to the ground.
"Assassins?" Zhou An was surprised. He knew too little about the outside world and didn't know what level of strength he had. He wondered if he could deal with these Western assassins.
At the same time, he began to feel drowsy, but with sixty years of internal strength, the drowsiness disappeared after a while.
He followed the others' example and fell to the ground, pretending to faint.
