Chapter 242 The Man Behind the Empress



Upon hearing the voice, Gongzi Yu suddenly realized something.

"Interesting, is it that they'd rather love a woman than rule the country?"

After a pause, Gongzi Yu continued, "In that case, if you become the Great Dragon Leader, wouldn't these things be even easier for you?"

In response to Gongzi Yu's question, Chu Qinghe picked up the teacup on the table and slowly said, "Reaping the rewards without sowing is not suitable for everyone. The sense of accomplishment brought by things earned by oneself is much greater and different."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Gongzi Yu seemed to have thought of something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

After a short while, the thoughtful look in Gongzi Yu's eyes faded, and he turned to give Chu Qinghe a deep look.

"You've got a good idea; you actually want me to clear these obstacles for you?"

Chu Qinghe laughed and said, "Since we've already come this far, we might as well go with the flow."

Gongzi Yu did not respond further, but remained silent.

It was as if he was considering all of this.

A few breaths later, as Gongzi Yu lightly lifted his hand, the wine pot and medicine packet that Chu Qinghe had placed in the middle of the stone table were directly sucked to Gongzi Yu's front.

During the process, Chu Qinghe quietly watched as Gongzi Yu slowly opened the wine pot and poured the powder from the medicine packet into it.

After gently shaking the wine pot, Gongzi Yu looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Can we drink it directly?"

Chu Qinghe responded with a lazy "hmm".

Seeing this, Gongzi Yu brought the wine pot directly to his lips and took a sip.

Savoring the unique aroma of the mellow wine, medicinal herbs, and flowers mingling in his mouth, Gongzi Yu glanced at Chu Qinghe and said, "If you opened a winery, business should be quite good."

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "If you want some, I'll give you some after your injuries have healed."

Gongzi Yu chuckled and said, "Alright!"

After saying that, Gongzi Yu tilted his head back and quickly drank the remaining wine in the pot.

However, as Gongzi Yu slowly sipped his wine, in the sight of Shuimu Yinji and Qu Feiyan, the wrinkled skin on Gongzi Yu's face began to smooth out as if someone were pulling it apart with invisible threads.

And the skin, which was originally dry and shriveled, gradually became plump, as if some air had been filled in.

They got up.

In the short span of less than a hundred breaths, in front of the women, Gongzi Yu's appearance changed from that of a white-haired old man to that of a normal man in his thirties.

He was handsome yet masculine, but his hair was still snow-white.

Holding a wine pot, Gongzi Yu sat quietly on the stone bench, his eyes gently closed.

A short while later, Gongzi Yu opened his eyes and glanced at his wrist.

Looking at his skin, which was no different from that of an ordinary person, Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "It has been a long time since I have felt this energetic. Suddenly, I feel as if I have been through another world."

After gently setting the wine pot down, Gongzi Yu slowly stood up and said, "Since you enjoy watching shows, would you like to come and watch when they make their move against Divine Sword Manor?"

Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "We'll see when the time comes! If we're in the Ming Dynasty, we can come and take a look when we have time."

After thinking for a moment, Gongzi Yu asked, "Are you planning to go to the Tang Dynasty?"

Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "I have this plan, but the timing is not yet determined."

Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu nodded slightly and slowly stood up.

"Since time is limited, I won't stay any longer. After all, I've spent so much time here, I should at least sit in those seats and get a feel for them."

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Anyway, it's more tiring than your position as the Dragon Head. I guess the novelty will wear off and you'll get tired of it."

After pondering for a moment, Gongzi Yu chuckled and said, "Indeed! That position is indeed tiring."

After saying that, Gongzi Yu waved his hand, then slowly turned around and disappeared into the courtyard.

After Gongzi Yu left, Qu Feiyan and the other women who had been standing to the side quickly surrounded him, along with Shuimu Yinji, all four pairs of eyes staring intently at Chu Qinghe.

Meeting the gazes of the girls, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "The way you're looking at me makes it seem like I deliberately avoided you during my conversation with Gongzi Yu."

Qu Feiyan said resentfully, "The conversation wasn't kept from us, but the content of your conversation with that Young Master Yu was like a riddle."

Then, Qu Feiyan asked, "Judging from what Young Master Yu just said, does he intend to hand over the Azure Dragon Society to you for management?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "My time is running out, so I came here with the mindset of preparing for what will happen after my death."

Qu Feiyan muttered, "Judging from how Young Master Yu looked after his recovery, he should only be in his thirties or forties. Besides, he said he was at the late stage of the Celestial Realm. What kind of disease is this premature aging syndrome that could limit him to only three months of life?"

Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Before the words are spoken, the ending has already been played out a thousand times; before the body moves, the mind has already crossed ten thousand mountains; before the action is completed, the illusion of suffering and sorrow remains; after the event is over, the past still appears in the mind. Exhausting the mind and spirit will damage the spirit and brain, and long-term accumulation will lead to premature aging."

"It seems that when he took over the Azure Dragon Society, it was a complete mess."

The difficulty of straightening and restoring a collapsing building is a hundred times greater than rebuilding it from scratch.

With Gongzi Yu's intelligence and strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to rebuild the Azure Dragon Society.

But Gongzi Yu chose the most difficult way, reviving a power that was on the verge of collapse to its current state. The effort he put in was astonishing, even to Chu Qinghe.
