Just at this time, footsteps were heard outside, and Manager Chu hurriedly arrived outside the back garden, clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Princess, there is a decree from the Forbidden Palace, the queen invites the princess to come into the palace."
"I know." Xiao Shi said loudly.
Suru said in surprise: "Why did the queen suddenly invite you, Miss Second, into the palace?"
After Lu Yurong's incident, the queen did not invite Xiao Shi into the palace for a while. In the past, the queen invited Xiao Shi into the palace from time to time to meet and chat. Although the two were very different in age, they could talk together, and they felt like they had known each other for years.
Ever since the emperor agreed to marry Lu Yurong to Tang Ye, the queen had not summoned Xiao Shi again, and she did not expect to summon her again now.
"Just go and take a look and you will know." Xiao Shi said.
Suru said: "Second Miss, I will come with you."
"Yeah." Xiao Shi nodded lightly.
Surrounded by the palace guards, the two came to the outside of the Forbidden Palace. The guards were waiting outside. Only Xiao Shi and Suru entered and went straight to the Ping An Palace at the back, where the queen was.
Under the leadership of the palace steward, they came to the back garden of the Peace Palace.
It was already night, the lights were brightly lit, and the entire back garden was as beautiful as a palace in the sky.
The two girls came to a small pavilion. In the small pavilion, there was only a beautiful woman sitting upright, lost in thought. She was about thirty years old, not old at all, only a trace of maturity and intelligence shrouded between her eyebrows.
When she heard the two girls coming in, she looked up, smiled and waved.
"I've met the Queen." Xiao Shi and Suru saluted.
The queen waved her hand and said, "We, the two of us, are not outsiders. Let's sit down and talk."
"Yes." Xiao Shi gently sat down opposite her.
The two of them are still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they are indeed not outsiders.
"What is the Queen worried about?" Xiao Shi asked, "She looks sad."
"Alas..." the queen sighed slightly: "The emperor is agitated and restless day and night."
"Why?" Xiao Shi said.
The queen sighed: "It's not Lu Yurong who caused the trouble."
"Is it because of Chu Li?" Xiao Shi snorted and said with a stern face: "Although the emperor's move is very relieving, it is really inappropriate. Where should I put Chu Li's face!"
She has a deep foundation. As the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family, she has such confidence that no matter how unpleasant her words are, she will not be punished for it, and it will not affect her family.
The queen said: "How could he care so much at that time? If he didn't agree, not to mention Chu Li's face, he wouldn't even know where to throw his own face. You don't know how powerful Tang Haotian is!"
"No matter how powerful he was, he still wouldn't have been killed by Chu Li!" Xiao Shi said proudly.
The queen showed a wry smile and said: "Chu Li is indeed not an ordinary person, but Chu Li can kill Tang Haotian, but the emperor cannot. If he had not agreed at the beginning, Tang Haotian would definitely beat the emperor until he lost all face, and he would not be able to hold his head up in front of the world.
, then our season will be over!”
"What about now?" Xiao Shi hummed: "Tang Haotian is dead, the emperor should be relieved. Why are you still upset!... Are you afraid that Chu Li will settle a score with him?"
"I am worried about that." The queen nodded.
Xiao Shi said: "Don't worry, the emperor can be unkind, but Chu Li will not be unjust!"
"Is that true?" the queen laughed.
Xiao Shi said: "Queen, no matter how angry Chu Li is with the emperor, he will not retaliate openly, he will only do some mischief secretly. It won't hinder anything, so the emperor can rest assured!"
"What harm can he do?" The Queen smiled and said, "Is it possible that he needs to teach the prince a lesson?"
Xiao Shi smiled and said: "The emperor is worried about the prince's safety?"
"How can he not be worried?" The queen said: "With Chu Li's current ability, if he really wants to kill the prince, the emperor has nothing to do!"
"No." Xiao Shi shook his head.
The queen nodded lightly and said: "You must never kill each other. Chu Li is not an outsider when it comes to talking about it. Please advise him."
"He hasn't come here yet." Xiao Shi frowned: "I don't know what the situation is."
The queen frowned and said, "Isn't he really in any accident?"
Xiao Shi said: "If you don't die, you don't know how serious the injury is."
"Sigh..., it's really hard not to get hurt when fighting with a god." The queen sighed: "If Chu Liru comes back, please invite him to visit the forbidden palace. The emperor wants to see him and have a good talk with him.
"
"I will tell him that I have no control over whether he comes or not," Xiao Shi said.
The queen smiled: "Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Let's talk about you. I haven't seen you for a while. I wonder if your chess skills have improved."
"The empress may as well take a lesson and you will know." Xiao Shi said with a smile.
The two set up a chessboard and started playing chess.
Chu Li sat cross-legged in Niyoulong's cave, frowning and thinking.
He discovered something strange. The Dragon Control Technique almost stagnated. The surging spiritual energy was transformed into the internal power of the Dragon Control Technique, and was continuously injected into the Nieyou Dragon. However, after the strengthening of the Nieyou Dragon, it was like a bottomless pit.
Even though the internal energy of Dragon Jue was put in, there was no movement.
He couldn't feel the Dragon Control Technique's strengthening effect on Nie Youlong. It seemed that the Dragon Control Technique had lost its effectiveness. Even if he desperately poured the internal power of the Dragon Control Technique into Nie Youlong's body, it was of no use.
He practiced hard without sleep for three consecutive days without making any progress.
Nie Youlong fell asleep lazily and slept for three days and three nights without any sign of waking up. The Dragon Control Technique seemed to make him sleep even deeper, making Chu Li want to sleep.
Chu Li felt that it was almost impossible to advance to the fifth level if he continued practicing like this. The fourth level seemed to have reached its limit.
He thought over and over in his mind about the Dragon Control Technique, but he couldn't find a solution.
After thinking about it for a day, he gave up such futile thinking and turned to Tianxing Cave Xushu for help.
He used the Heavenly Star Cave Xu Technique to deduce when the Dragon Control Technique could be completed.
Suddenly, a scene appeared in front of him. He had changed his appearance and had become middle-aged. He was flying into the sky riding a golden dragon and rushing towards a figure with rays of light all around him in the sky.
"Bang!" The object in front of him suddenly shattered, and he suddenly had a splitting headache.
He held his forehead and endured it without moaning.
It felt as if a long sword had penetrated the top of his head and was twisting hard, causing unbearable pain.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly subsided his headache, but his brows furrowed tightly. In this way, he wanted to master the Dragon Control Technique, but when he reached middle age, the large round mirror in the void flashed. After a moment, he had already
You know, that was thirty years later.
Chu Li smiled bitterly, thirty years!
No wonder my practice of the Dragon Control Technique seems to have stagnated, but it requires thirty years of hard training. For ordinary people, it is not easy to master the Dragon Control Technique in thirty years, but for me, it is too long.
His mind was racing, looking for a solution.
Finally, the eyes fell on Nieyoulong. If Nieyoulong was strong enough, wouldn't it be easier and faster to practice the Dragon Control Technique?
I still need to ask Master Zhou Dunli about this. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to see Zhou Dunli again. I don't know what he was busy with, so I started to recite the prayers on the bronze bell in my mind.
His thoughts were as pure as one will. Slowly, he had a strange feeling, so he suddenly disappeared from the place, and the next moment he appeared in front of the bronze bell of Yinxian Mountain, looking up at the sky.
