Deep inside the Palace, Behind the Scenes
***
The most common way of communication between the Empress and Pei Qingshu was by mail.
Therefore, he was very familiar with the customs and delivery situation of Pei Qingshu. He also knew that Pei Qingshu had an organization that was specifically used to deliver letters to him.
So far, all the letters that reached Yu Wei's hands had been sent by this organization.
There had never been a disciple from the Pei family who had come to send a letter, let alone a direct descendant.
Could something have really happened?
"Who is this direct descendant?" The empress asked indifferently. His voice was still a little lazy and carried a bit of fatigue.
“He calls himself Pei Yuezhi,” replied Yu Wei honestly. He lived deep inside the Inner Palace and did not know who Pei Yuezhi was.
"So that's him." The queen looked more confused.
He had heard of Pei Yuezhi before. In the past few months, Linjiang County Naxian Hall had been in full swing, attracting many Martial Dao experts to join Zhou Agung.
He could be considered as one of the more outstanding youths of the Pei Linjiang family.
He specifically asked the descendants directly to send a letter …
The empress frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Leave the letter here and leave."
"Yes, I'm going." Yu Wei placed the letter on the jade platform and bowed before leaving
A moment later, the Empress behind the scenes slowly supported herself.
He took a deep breath, as if adjusting the state of his body, then got off the bed, put on a red robe on his body, and walked to the jade table where the letter was located.
This empress looks to be in her twenties. She was very beautiful, and every inch of her facial features fit. Her skin was crystal clear, and she could be said to be a national beauty.
She was wearing a fiery red dress, noble and beautiful, covering her pretty figure. There was an aura of dignity between her brows that looked down on the world, and she had the aura of an Empress.
However, it seemed like he had just gotten out of bed.
His waist-length black hair was unfettered, and part of his black hair fell onto his temple, adding a lazy charm to his pride.
This was Empress Zhifeng, who had supported the entire Great Zhou Dynasty for 72 years so that they were no longer controlled by the Immortal sect.
Li Mingqiong's.
"Could this cripple have gone to do something and planned to write a letter explaining his funeral?" Li Mingqiong muttered and picked up the letter on the jade platform.
However, before he could remove the candle, his expression suddenly changed. The color of the blood faded, and he became a bit deathly pale. His entire spirit instantly became desperate.
He suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground. He only managed to stabilize himself by holding the screen beside him.
However, his breathing suddenly became faster, and his high chest continued to rise and fall.
After a while, Li Mingqiong returned to his normal state. His extremely pale face finally regained its color.
But he could not help but rub his head, trying to ease the lingering pain.
“I want to know when this old disease will heal.” Li Mingqing pressed his temple and looked at the letter from Pei Qingshu. He could not help but sigh slowly. “Maybe this is retaliation for for forcibly breaking through?
“You combined Deva's blood condensation method to forcibly break through to the next realm. Although you gained strength that far exceeded a Deva, it also caused your body to age rapidly and your lifespan to greatly decrease.
As for me, I tried to use the power in my body to fuse with my soul to directly condense the Dharma Idol, but it also got lost, causing my soul to become extremely powerful, he said, but my body is becoming more fragile.
If only His Eternal Majesty were here. I really want to listen to the teachings of His Eternal Majesty again. I wonder if His Eternal Majesty will acknowledge me as his disciple. ”.
With this thought, he opened the letter from Pei Qingshu and was stunned.
“If I die, Senior Brother, please let Your Eternal Majesty know after you find him. Pei Qingshu had never forgotten the kindness of Eternal Majesty, nor had he given up on finding Eternal Majesty. I did not ask for student status. I only hope that Eternal Majesty remembers that there was once a successor like me in the world.
Senior brother…
This damned flaw is actually calling me Senior Brother …
No, this is a farewell letter.
What's he doing?!
Li Mingqiong's eyes widened in shock.
An invisible aura immediately came out from his body. The sky above Great Zhou Imperial City dimmed, and clouds surged and gathered. Everyone in the city felt an inexplicable pressure in their hearts.
This was the strength of a peak cultivator of the Third Realm.
The fluctuation of his emotions was enough to cause a huge change in the weather.
Although his condition was a little strange, and his soul was much stronger than his body, and he often felt weak, yet the strength he possessed was not weak at all.
That was enough to compare with a Buddha. "Could it be related to the phenomenon in the direction of Linjiang County?" Li Mingqiong frowned and said in a low voice, “You are my younger brother, and the successor of Eternal Majesty. How could you die so mysteriously ?! ”
Then, she tied her hair and put on a crown. After dressing appropriately, he looked outside. "Is Yu Wei here?"
"I'm here!" Yu Wei's voice immediately sounded from outside. He stood outside, waiting for Li Mingqiong's orders.
“Log in,” said Li Mingqiong in a low voice.
"Yes!" Yu Wei hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Take my Gold Token and find Pei Yuezhi." Li Mingqiong took out a token from his sleeve. “Ask him about Deva Pei. If necessary, you can personally go to Linjiang County.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yu Wei respectfully picked up the Gold Token with both hands and said solemnly, "I won't disappoint Your Majesty!"
"Go." Li Mingqiong waved his hand.
A moment later, he was alone in the bedroom again. The crown and the red robe were removed.
Li Mingqiong lay on the bed behind the screen with a thin veil again and yawned involuntarily.
Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Although he was strong now, he was very easily tired. Normally, as long as he moved a little, he would have to sleep for four to six hours before returning to normal.
However, it was different if he used his strength to fight the enemy.
The last time he went to the Yellow Black Heavenly Palace and killed two Earth Gods, he was extremely excited for days and could work without sleep.
However, this situation obviously could not happen often.
Therefore, most of the time, Li Mingqiong was lying on the bed behind the scenes, lazy and tired.
Since it was not an urgent matter to go to Linjiang County, Cui Heng and the others did not travel quickly.
Although it was called a walk, it was more like a walk and observing the situation of the people along the way.
However, Cui Heng's main task was still reading the information set sent by Hui Shi and learning about the various situations in the Heavenly Void World from Pei Qingshu.
Therefore, they walked for five days before finally arriving at Linjiang County.
This place was actually several times larger than Guanzhou City.
There are also more people. The streets were filled with all sorts of shops and were extremely prosperous.
Cui Heng walked on the streets of Linjiang County City and saw the faces of the commoners filled with smiles. He could only nod a little and say, "Whether it's in the local county town or in this county town, you've arranged it very well."
“Thank you for your praise, Teacher. I just do my job.” Pei Qingshu smiled and said, "If I can't lead people towards a good life, what's the difference between me and the previous noble family?"
The changes in Linjiang County City had also begun 70 years ago.
Previously, the people here were also subjected to exploitation by the noble families. They may not even be able to eat as much after working hard for a full year.
When Pei Qingshu appeared out of nowhere and controlled the entire Linjiang Pei Family, letting the Linjiang Pei Family escape the control of the Immortal sect, the lives of the commoners completely changed.
Now that more than 70 years have passed, there are still many people alive.
They would tell their children and grandchildren about the situation back then and the earth-shattering changes over the years.
When Pei Qingshu walked down the street, he would see commoners bowing to him every few steps.
You can see how much people love him.
Therefore, after a while, Cui Heng and the others arrived at the residence of the Pei family.
To avoid trouble, Pei Qingshu deliberately controlled his body and changed it back to his 40 to 50 year old appearance so that his family would not recognize him after he recovered his youth.
"Sir, this is Pei's family." Pei Qingshu smiled and was about to introduce the Pei family home and the subsequent arrangements to Cui Heng.
At this moment, Pei Yuezhi suddenly appeared and came out. Beside him was a young girl dressed as a man. Their expressions were very serious.
However, when they reached the door, they saw Pei Qingshu, Cui Heng, and the others beside him. They were immediately stunned.
“Great, great-grandfather !!” Exclaimed Pei Yue excitedly. “You, you're alive! Pfft! What am I talking about? Are you okay? Hey, Mr Chen, why are you here too? Great grandfather…"
When he saw so many people following Pei Qingshu, he was immediately stunned and confused.
After all, he was still thinking about how to hide the fact that his great-grandfather had died. Who would have thought that he would see his great-grandfather back in the blink of an eye?
"Pff!" The corner of Pei Qingshu's mouth twitched. He raised his hand and hit the back of Pei Yuezhi's head. He scolded jokingly, “Your great-grandfather just said that he might not be able to come back. He did not say that he would definitely not be able to return. You naughty boy..”
At this moment, he suddenly noticed the man-clothed girl beside him. She immediately frowned and said in a low voice, "Miss, if I'm not mistaken, you should be ... the female official from that palace, Yu Wei?"
"I'm Yu Wei." Yu Wei nodded and bowed. He said with great respect, “Your Majesty gave me the Gold Token and asked me to come here to investigate the matter regarding Senior. Now that I see that Senior is fine, I can return to the capital to report.”
"You're here on the orders of the Empress to investigate my situation?" Pei Qingshu's expression changed upon hearing this. His eyes widened as he looked at Pei Yuezhi and gnashed his teeth. "Laughter, did you send that letter ?!"
I'm done!
I actually called his Senior Brother in the letter …
