The empress hugged Di Luoxi and asked, "Tell me, why did you come to see your mother?"
Di Luoxi said with a smile: "Queen Mother, I have finished refining the Deadwood Pill, but I feel that I cannot give it to Long Chengen so easily."
The empress asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Di Luoxi thought about it on the way and said: "My son gave this dead wood pill to his mother, who gave it to him, and then asked him to marry him through a matchmaker, in accordance with our royal etiquette."
The empress thought for a while and said: "But Long Chengen is alone, how can he know that the matchmaker is marrying him?"
"My Princess Zhou never marries. There is no such precedent before."
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty always had a female emperor in charge of the country. The female emperor did not marry, but she could give birth and was passed down from generation to generation.
Only in the generation of the empress, she actually gave birth to four daughters.
This incident caused an uproar at the time.
The empress broke the tradition of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Di Luoxi said coquettishly: "Mother, the eldest sister can inherit the throne. I am the youngest. I don't want the throne. I only want Long Chengen."
The empress smiled and said: "Okay, that guy Long Chengen kidnapped my daughter and doesn't even care about the throne."
Di Luoxi chuckled and said: "Being the emperor is too troublesome, so let's let the eldest sister go. Xiao Longlong and I will help the eldest sister to fight and defend the country."
The empress looked at Di Luoxi's innocent look and suddenly fell into deep thought...
"Mother, are you angry?"
When Di Luoxi saw that the empress suddenly stopped talking, she thought that the empress was angry.
The empress smiled and said: "The world has changed, I'm afraid there will be no peace..."
“The future of Great Zhou needs Long Chengen’s protection.”
Di Luoxi said very confidently: "He will definitely defend the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"
The empress hugged Di Luoxi and said, "Okay, I promise you to give the medicine to your mother."
Di Luoxi took out the medicine bottle from her arms and handed it to the empress carefully.
The empress collected the medicine bottle and put it aside.
Di Luoxi got up from the Empress's arms and said: "Empress, I have returned there, and everything will be subject to the arrangements of the Empress."
The empress smiled and said: "Okay, let's go."
Di Luoxi happily exited the imperial study and returned to the palace with Qingyue and Xuanyi.
Yingfeng and Di Waner entered the imperial study, where the empress was playing with the medicine bottle.
"What do you think?"
The empress asked calmly.
Yingfeng and Di Waner looked at each other, neither of them dared to say anything nonsense.
The empress raised her head and glanced at the two of them. Yingfeng then said: "I don't dare to make unreasonable comments, but if King Wu returns to his male body and the four princesses get married, King Wu will be his consort, which will be beneficial to the country."
Di Waner said: "King Wu is alone in the Zhou Dynasty. If he becomes the consort, he will be a relative of the Holy Emperor, and the ministers will also think it is beneficial to the country."
Yingfeng and Di Waner both like Long Chen and their relationship is ambiguous. Of course they hope Long Chen will turn back into a man.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. If you become my son-in-law, you will naturally be mine."
"Spread the news and say that the Deadwood Pill is in my hands, and I will give the Deadwood Pill to Long Chengen."
Yingfeng and Di Waner went to do it immediately.
The empress held the medicine bottle and said with a smile: "Now I am the mother-in-law..."
The empress and Long Chen had an affair, took a bath together, and played other tricks.
However, these things have no impact.
For ordinary people, this is embarrassing.
But for the imperial family, morals and laws are false, and nothing can restrain them.
Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and married his sister-in-law, Li Zhi made Wu Zetian the queen, and Li Longji could steal his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan to be his concubine.
People who stand at the top of power can do whatever they want, but ministers not only dare not criticize, but will also take the initiative to make excuses for them.
For example, it is moral corruption for ordinary people to find mistresses. The founding fathers abandoned their wives and children in exchange for wives. That is revolutionary romanticism.
The empress put the medicine bottle in the cabinet and said calmly: "Mother-in-law and son-in-law..."
....
Prince Wu's Mansion.
Zhang Qian and the other five were meditating in another courtyard while Long Chen watched from the side.
Last time we were practicing in the study, Su Yourong suddenly barged in and almost made everyone go crazy.
After learning this lesson, Long Chen took out the place where he practiced.
Seeing that everyone was in meditation, Long Chen slowly left the other courtyard.
When we got to the next room, Feng He had already arrived.
"grown ups."
Long Chen sat down and asked: "How is the investigation going in Xixia?"
Long Chen asked Feng He to carefully investigate the scandal of Zhaoti Temple to see if Zhaoti Temple had done something shady behind the scenes.
Especially Monk Kongji.
Feng He said with a smile: "Sir, as you expected, the business of recruiting children from the temple is not clean."
Long Chen asked: "Tell me carefully."
Feng He looked like a village aunt talking about right and wrong, and said with joy: "Your Excellency, you are indeed an expert in love. You can guess this kind of thing very accurately."
Long Chen frowned and said, "Are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"
Feng He chuckled and said, "Of course I'm exaggerating. You can guess this kind of thing."
Long Chen was speechless...
Feng He continued to say with gusto: "The prayers for children in Zhaoti Temple are made in a separate courtyard. There is a separate room there, and there is a secret compartment under the room."
"The women who wanted to have children slept in the room. At night, the monks came out and hooked up with them, and they became pregnant."
"The husbands of those people don't know that their daughter-in-law is pregnant with a wild child. After giving birth to a wild child, they have to offer a thank-you gift to Zhaoti Temple."
"There are also some women who go to Zhaoti Temple every now and then to spend the night as a reason to fulfill their vows. Ouch, they are really naughty bitches."
Long Chen looked at Feng He's look and couldn't help but said: "I think you can sit at the end of the village and chat with the seventh and eighth aunts."
Feng He didn't understand what Long Chen meant, and said, "Sir, Zhaoti Temple has been in the business of begging for children for decades. I roughly estimate that the number of bastards broadcast by Zhaoti Temple is no less than 300,000."
hiss...
This number scared Long Chen.
"Your estimated quantity is a bit scary."
Feng He said, "Sir, let me calculate for you. There are eight thousand monks in the temple, half of whom are young."
"There are about two to three hundred female believers who go to Zhaoti Temple to ask for children every day, and that number is about 100,000 that year."
"Zhaoti Temple has been in the business of begging for children for decades. I estimate it to be 300,000. This number is already very conservative."
According to Feng He's algorithm, the seeds sown by Zhaoti Temple are of a terrifying magnitude.
Long Chen thought something was wrong and said, "Is there so much infertility in Xixia? It's puzzling."
It stands to reason that there are people everywhere who are unable to conceive, but there cannot be so many.
This number in Xixia is so ridiculous that it is simply incomprehensible.
Feng He also felt strange and said: "Zhaoti Temple has a special status in Xixia. Shi Le has always encouraged believers to go to Zhaoti Temple to ask for children, saying that the children prayed to by Zhaoti Temple will be very healthy."
Long Chen sneered and said: "Nonsense, a group of young and strong monks, it will definitely be good for such a child to be born."
Suddenly, Long Chen felt something was wrong...
"You just said that Shi Le encourages believers to go to Zhaoti Temple to ask for a child. Regardless of whether they are unable to conceive, they are encouraged to go?"
