Chapter 1132 His Whole Life Is A Joke



Every time he thought about Chunyu Ling, Bu Cong would have countless theories, but one of them which made him feel it was the most occult, actually became the most possible in the recent years.


Using a corpse to resurrect a dead soul, this was a bold thought from Bu Cong. He was a military general and never believed in ghost and gods, but the change of this Young Miss from the Chunyu family, as well as the change of Feng Yuheng in Da Shun forced him to think in that direction when it came to such facts.


When he was at Da Shun, the change in Feng Yuheng had shocked him and he did not understand even after thinking about it a lot. If she had greater achievements in her medical skills, he would not suspect it that much since the Yao family were originally a medical family, the younger generation doing well was a normal thing. But the strange part was Feng Yuheng’s mysterious martial arts ability!


Bu Cong did not think that a person could grow from being a young girl who lacked the ability to even truss up a chicken to a skill martial arts practitioner in just three years, she even had extremely accurate skill in archery. Her martial arts was even Tong Zi arts, how can she have such achievements in a short three years?


(Translator’s note: Tong Zi arts is one of the more difficult type of Shaolin martial arts and must be learned since young.)


When he linked Chunyu Ling and Feng Yuheng together and obtained a conclusion, this conclusion had shocked him greatly, such that he could not put this matter aside and wanted to investigate. Therefore, he agreed to all the requests from old General Chunyu, the first was to strike back at Da Shun and take revenge for the Bu family, the second was that he wanted to clear up this matter of Feng Yuheng, wanting to know what trick was hidden within this.


Returning to Da Shun this time, he brought Chunyu Ling along, his purpose was that he wanted to see Chunyu Ling’s reaction to returning to her “homeland”. And currently, he seemed to be 80 to 90 percent sure, using a corpse to resurrect a dead soul, he did not know that such a thing really existed in this world.


Of course, Bu Cong was a smart person, he knew that Zong Sui’s old General Chunyu was not stupid, the reason why the old General valued him this much was not as simple as it looked like on the surface, only for the sake of his daughter. Chunyu An did love his first daughter a lot, but he did not love her so much that for the sake of his first daughter, he would help his son-in-law from Da Shun obtain Zong Sui’s military rights. The fact that Bu Cong could become a Zong Sui General, a large part of it was because of Duanmu Anguo!


Last time, Duanmu Anguo escaped from Da Shun’s northern border, not only did he take away a huge fortune from the Duanmu family, he also took away the Duanmu family’s factions hidden in various provinces. When those private soldiers were added up, it was close to 200,000. He brought this kind of power to Zong Sui, not seeking backing from the current ruler, but amongst the princes, he chose to help Second Prince. The reason was that after he helped the Second Prince ascend the throne, he could go against Da Shun, using this to help him recover the land he lost in the three provinces in the northern border, and if it was possible, he still wanted to control what portion of country land which had belonged to Qian Zhou originally.


Bu Cong already had an existing relationship with Duanmu Anguo. Bu Cong had liked Duanmu Anguo’s military power and Duanmu Anguo liked Bu Cong’s ability in leading soldiers, and Zong Sui’s old General Chunyu was a supporter of the Second Prince. These factors came together, and the Second Prince had high hopes for this, quickly combining these three factions together to work for him. Even Bu Cong’s position of General was obtained by the intense backing of the Second Prince.


Old General Chunyu was someone who made every move only after much deliberation, the previous Emperor was already in his twilight years, he needed to help the prince he liked onto that throne, because two years ago, he had already married his third daughter to the manor of the Second Prince. Currently that daughter was already in the position of Empress, if they could take down Da Shun successfully, not only would his third daughter’s position of Empress be more stable, it would be more influential.


The various factions had their own considerations, setting their eyes on this fatty piece of meat known as Da Shun for many years. When the previous Emperor was still alive, even when Da Shun had not shown their steel weapon, Zong Sui did not have any thoughts of rebelling, this caused the new ruler to be very dissatisfied. This new Emperor was not someone who was happy to stay within his boundaries, his ambition was higher than the skies, the small Zong Sui could not satisfy him anymore. Especially with the defeat of Qian Zhou and Gu Shu, he believed that it would Zong Sui’s turn sooner or later, even if they continued to be a grandson, a slap from the grandfather would also quickly fly over. Therefore, rather than passively getting hit, it was better to attack actively. But he did not know, Da Shun was a piece of fatty meat, but it was also a piece of meat which burned the mouth……


Da Shun’s imperial harem, after weathering a storm, it seemed to have reverted to the calm it had more than 20 years ago. Imperial Concubine Yun was no longer in Winter Moon Palace, but it still stood there arrogantly, not allowing anyone to spy on it. For the other concubines and noble ladies, they became obedient again after learning the lessons from Imperial Concubine Yun and Noble Lady Li. For those whose maternal families supported the Eighth prince, they lived for a period of time in nervousness, and after confirming that the Sixth Prince did not wish to suppress them, they breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they reflected on the generosity of the Sixth prince and warned their families not to participate in the battle for the throne anymore, then continued their own lives as concubines and noble ladies without causing any trouble.


Jing Ci Palace also recently brought back their daily greetings from the concubines and noble ladies, the Empress looked a little more spirited compared to before, and was able to speak with her sisters in the imperial harem for a long while every day. It was just that after all those concubines and noble ladies left, that expression of worry would appear on her face again.


Her personal maid Fang Yi was anxious seeing her like this and could not help but advise: “Since the other party will not find us again, why don’t Your Highness try to forget this matter, we will live our own lives and no longer have any kind of relation with that person!”


The Empress showed a troubled smile. “How can it be forgotten so easily. So many years have passed, since when has there been a day when This One did not hope that no such relationship with them existed, but can such a thing be decided by This One? They are like hidden weapons, we do not know when they will suddenly attack and where they will attack from, keeping up our guard all day, unable to defend against this.” As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, asking Fang Yi: “With regards to Qian Zhou’s treasure, do you believe it or not?”


Fang Yi was stunned, saying immediately: “It had spread for so many years, Your Highness has also secretly investigated it before, even though it has never been found, it is impossible for it to be groundless, so it should exist, right?”


“It exists? But where is it?” The Empress’ furrowed her brows as she thought, “It was said that Qian Zhou treasure is worth the value of a whole continent, as long as that treasure is obtained, it was the same as obtaining the treasure of the world. All the land can be bought, and one will be at the top of this continent. Duanmu Anguo was fascinated with that treasure to the point of being crazily obsessed. If that treasure was fake, then Duanmu Anguo’s life, wouldn’t it be a joke. If he is a joke, then what is This One considered? But if it is true, if he obtains it, not considering other places, our Da Shun…… will definitely plunge into misery and suffering.”


The Empress’ gaze was a deadly stillness. Standing at the side, Fang Yi did not know how to answer. This master and servant were just silent like this, from early afternoon in this mid-autumn period, they stayed silent until evening.


Da Shun was unfortunate these two years, the three sides were chaotic, and their own home was not peaceful. When the Sixth Prince finished handling the court matters, it was close to sunset, and after he came out of Heavenly Hall, he thought, he should still head to Zhao He Hall to see the Emperor. After seeing that the Emperor’s state was still considered alright and his days were still considered leisurely, he did not stay any longer, heading straight to Jing Ci Place to see Noble Lady Li.


In Jing Ci Palace, Noble Lady Li was unwilling to eat properly, her personal maid Zuo Er having to heat up her dinner again and again, and when she served it for the last time and still saw that Noble Lady Li was unwilling to eat, she only said helplessly: “Mistress, if you do not eat again, these dishes will have to be thrown away. Even though His Highness the Sixth Prince is regent now and the servants in the imperial palace do not dare to treat our side harshly, the matter of the war at the border is critical, This Servant heard that His Highness the Sixth Prince was advocating the matter of moving from luxury to simplicity at the court, we cannot allow others to find fault on our side.”


“So what if they find fault?” Noble Lady Li glared at Zuo Er harshly, “My son is the Emperor now, who dares to speak ill of me?”


“Oh my, Mistress!” Zuo Er wanted to approach and cover Noble Lady Li’s mouth, but she was pushed away by Noble Lady Li. Unable to do anything else, she could only stamp her foot and say anxiously in a soft voice: “Mistress, you cannot say such words. His Highness the Sixth Prince is only regent and not Emperor yet, it would be bad if this were to be spread outside.”


“Spread? Who would spread it?” Noble Lady Li asked her: “Would you speak of it outside? If you speak of it outside, I will strangle you to death now.”


“This Servant does not dare!” Zuo Er quickly knelt down, “This Servant is loyal to Mistress, it is impossible for This Servant to speak of the matters inside Jing Ci Palace to others. But Mistress, walls have ears, this imperial palace has never been stable, we cannot let our guards down!”


“Zuo Er is correct!” A voice was suddenly heard, the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng pushed open the door and entered, “I heard both of you speaking standing outside the door, if someone with intentions existed in the courtyard, what kind of words would not be spread outside?”


“Feng-er, you have come!” Noble Lady Li did not care at all about what words would be heard by others or not, she cared that her own son finally came to see her again. Ever since she moved into this Jing Ci Palace, the Sixth Prince did not come frequently, after moving in for so long, including this time, she had only seen her son two times. “Zuo Er, quickly, quickly go to the imperial kitchens and give the instructions, say that His Highness the Sixth Prince will eat here today, asking them to make something better.”


“No need, I’m not hungry.” Xuan Tianfeng stopped Zuo Er, “You can leave first, This Prince will have a chat with my mother.”


Zuo Er left as commanded, and when she left, she even said softly: “Your Highness, please advise Noble Lady.”


Xuan Tianfeng shook his head and sighed softly, had he not given a lot of advice? His mother simply thought about things too much, it was difficult for her to change her perspective once she was fixated on a certain thought, Feng Yuheng had said that this was a mental illness, and a mental illness needed to be treated with a mental medicine, but where was Noble Lady Li’s mental medicine?


“How can you not be hungry after being busy for the whole day?” Noble Lady Li pulled her son’s hand, pulling him next to her to sit down, “You cannot neglect your own body because of the nation’s affairs.”


“Mother has not eaten either.” He glanced at the dishes on the table which were clearly heated up a few times already, asking Noble Lady Li: “Why didn’t you eat?”


“How can I have the appetite!” Noble Lady Li’s expression darkened, “Feng-er, I do not wish to live here, when I live here, I do not feel like eating anything. Let me leave! I guarantee that I will no longer cause any trouble, I definitely will not involve myself in anything in the imperial harem, as long as I can leave this Jing Ci Palace, I can move anywhere else, is that alright?”


Xuan Tianfeng did not understand: “Since you will not involve yourself in any matters of the imperial harem, then regardless of where you live, what difference does it make?”


“This Jing Ci Palace is a jail cell!” Noble Lady Li shouted loudly, “I am your mother! You have already become an Emperor, yet you imprison your own birth mother in a jail cell, what intentions do you have?”


Xuan Tianfeng watched Noble Lady Li’s hysteria, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart. If it were possible, which son did not wish for his own mother to live comfortably? But he could not!


Forcefully tolerating the helplessness in his heart, he opened his mouth and told Noble Lady Li: “It is impossible. You cannot leave! As long as I still have a say in this imperial palace, then it is forever impossible for you to leave Jing Ci Place, you can…… just give up on this thought!”
