Chapter 1059 The battle for the throne of Zhou Dynasty
"I'm afraid we can't go together. That person is in a hurry."
Yan Qingwu was unwilling to go with him.
"We are also in a hurry."
The veiled woman said.
"Let's not talk about this for now, what is your name?"
Yan Qingwu changed the subject.
"Liu Waner."
The veiled woman said.
"Liu Waner, that's a nice name. Are you from the Zhou Empire?"
Yan Qingwu continued to ask.
Liu Waner nodded.
"I am from Kyoto of the Great Zhou Empire. This time I came to Beicang Fairy Island to seek medicine."
Liu Waner said sincerely.
"Looking at your birth, you are not from an ordinary family. It is too dangerous for a woman like you to travel thousands of miles to Beicang Fairy Island to seek medicine."
Yan Qingwu said.
"There is nothing I can do about it. My mother is seriously ill and all the doctors in Kyoto are helpless. I can only place my hope on the fairy island."
Liu Waner's tone was a little sad, and she was definitely not lying.
Mother is a distant word to Yan Qingwu.
"To be honest, it seems that just the three of you can't get close to Beicang Immortal Island. Of course, I don't rule out the possibility that you might be lucky enough to meet someone from Beicang Immortal Island."
Yan Qingwu said.
"To tell you the truth, we have someone we know in Beicang Immortal Island. He will come to pick us up in a moment."
Liu Waner said.
"I see."
Yan Qingwu nodded. No matter where you are, it's easy to get things done if you have acquaintances.
"May I ask, who are you?
How are you going to go to Beicang Fairy Island?"
Liu Waner asked.
"Do you know the Kunlun Immortal Sect?"
Yan Qingwu said.
"Are you from the Kunlun Immortal Sect?"
Liu Waner was suddenly surprised.
"I am a member of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, but he is not. He and I only met today."
Yan Qingwu said.
"Isn't this how you met him?"
Liu Waner's eyes were a little strange. She thought Yan Qingwu and Mo Hai also met in the restaurant.
Yan Qingwu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "I won't take the initiative to get to know a man. As for how he and I met, forget it, it's a bit unbelievable to say it, so I won't say it.
."
Liu Waner did not continue to ask any more questions, but secretly glanced at Mo Hai. Just now she just guessed that Mo Hai and Yan Qingwu were monks, but now that it was confirmed, her thoughts couldn't help but come alive.
The Great Zhou Empire is now in a turbulent situation, and the situation is constantly changing. The struggle for political power has spread to many high-ranking officials. Liu Waner's father is the Duke of Zhenguo, so he will inevitably be involved in the struggle.
As for Liu Waner's mother, she was the concubine of the Duke of Zhen, and because of her humble background, her status in the Duke's palace was very low. She was said to be the concubine of the Duke of Zhen, but she was almost the same as a maid. Compared to her mother, Liu Waner
The treatment in the Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion is slightly better. After all, she is the daughter of the Zhen Guo Gong. Although the Zhen Guo Gong has three daughters, Liu Waner is the best, the most talented and the most beautiful among the three daughters.
She is beautiful and deeply loved by the Duke of Zhen. Although her mother's status is low, because of the favor of the Duke of Zhen, Liu Waner's life has been quite comfortable since she was a child.
But sometimes, the gap in status has a great impact on people, especially among the top leaders of the empire.
Although Liu Wan'er was deeply favored by the Duke of Zhen, because of her mother's humble status and lack of background, she was discriminated against in many things she did.
Just like the matter of marriage, Liu Waner's two sisters are already married, one is married to the tenth prince, and the other is married to the son of the general who protects the country. As for her marriage, although the Zhenguo Gong wants to arrange a good marriage for her,
, but if you marry a prince or a protector general, you can only be a concubine.
Although Liu Waner is gentle, she is a person with a strong heart. Her mother was a concubine, and she will never make the same mistake again, so she has made it clear to her father that she will never marry as a concubine.
, but she is not willing to settle for mediocrity. She is better and more beautiful than her two sisters. Why can't she marry better?
But if I want to marry better than my two sisters, I'm afraid I can only marry the prince.
Also, marry the emperor of the Zhou Empire.
But the old emperor of the Zhou Empire was already very old, and Liu Waner was not willing to marry an old man, so it seemed that the only option was to marry the prince.
The prince has not yet gotten married, so this is indeed the best choice.
But Liu Waner understood that even if the prince was willing to marry her, her father would not agree because her father was from King Zhao's party.
When the old emperor of every empire is about to die, there will be a lot of partisan disputes. Facts have proved that becoming the prince does not necessarily mean he will become the emperor.
Unless the old emperor only has one son, no one will compete.
But the old emperor of the Great Zhou Empire had more than forty sons. Although the crown prince had been decided, the other princes would not be willing to accept it.
Apart from the crown prince, the most powerful candidate for the new emperor is the crown prince's younger brother, Prince Zhao.
Liu Wan'er's father, Duke Zhen Guo, was a strong supporter of King Zhao's party, for no other reason than King Zhao's mother being the cousin of Duke Zhen Guo.
Nowadays, the princeling party and the Zhaowang party are competing for the throne in full swing. Once this competition starts, they will spare no effort to win the king or lose the bandits. Once they fail, there is only a dead end. Therefore, during this period of time, Zheng Guogong was almost in trouble every night.
sleep soundly.
Seeing her father's anxiety, Liu Waner felt extremely distressed, but she had limited abilities and could do nothing. However, if she could help her father find some helpers, such as those who cultivated immortality, that would be a great help.
Yan Qingwu is a member of the Kunlun Immortal Sect. Regardless of her status in the Kunlun Immortal Sect, in the secular world, she is still a capable person, so Liu Waner wants to ask Yan Qingwu for help.
But Yan Qingwu also knew the monks well and knew that the monks were unwilling to get involved in the struggle for imperial power in the world.
"Stop talking about me, let's talk about you. I'm very curious about what kind of ordinary family can raise a great beauty like you."
Yan Qingwu smiled.
"In front of you, my beauty is nothing."
Liu Waner quickly said humbly, after all, Yan Qingwu was the one who asked for her, so her posture was very low.
"You don't have to be modest, that person said you are more beautiful than me."
Yan Qingwu deliberately said loudly so that Mo Hai could hear.
"Uh..." Liu Waner was a little embarrassed, "I'm just an ordinary woman, how dare I compare myself to you, the fairy? That young man was just joking."
"I don't dare call myself a fairy. Please don't call me fairy again. I can't bear it. If I call you your name, you should also call me my name."
Yan Qingwu said quickly.
"Then, can I call you Sister Qingwu?"
Liu Waner said happily.
"Okay, I'm definitely older than you."
Yan Qingwu nodded.
"Sister Qingwu, you and I are so close to each other, I can't hide it from you, I will tell you my origin."
Liu Wan'er said sincerely, and with a gentle dance, the distance between the two was directly brought closer.
Liu Waner mainly talked about her life experience. Although she was born into a wealthy family, her life was not satisfactory because of her mother's humble status. A woman's tears seemed to be worthless. Liu Waner started sobbing softly as she spoke.
"Don't worry, your mother will be fine. If Beicang Xiandao doesn't give you the elixir, I will go back and beg my master to give you the elixir."
Yan Qingwu Gudao said warmly.
"Thank you, Sister Qingwu."
Liu Waner was extremely moved. Although she intended to gain Yan Qingwu's sympathy, she was still extremely moved by Yan Qingwu's enthusiasm.
Mo Hai was at the side, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although Yan Qingwu was a little uneasy about her duties, she had a pure heart, which was rare and valuable.
Liu Waner and Yan Qingwu became more and more congenial as they chatted. Liu Waner also took the opportunity to talk about the current situation of the Zhou Empire, but Yan Qingwu had no interest in these battles for imperial power.
Mo Hai, of course, has no interest either. For those who cultivate immortality, the struggle for imperial power in the secular world is just an unbearable thing.
