Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 880: Chapter 876: Harvest

Sun Qiying said, ”Does Prince Consort really trust me to enter the Prince Consort Mansion?”

As a person of the Fifth Prince, he went under the Sixth Prince and became his confidant.

This kind of spy action naturally invites suspicion.

More importantly, he is still from Yuanzhen, inevitably his heart will lean towards Yuanzhen.

If it were him, he would never take in such a trouble and disaster.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I trust my own eyes, and I trust Mr. Sun is a smart person.”

”Thank you, Prince Consort,” Sun Qiying said solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Cheng Yunqi and said with a smile, ”Your Highness is reluctant?”

”It’s Mr. Sun’s fortune,” Cheng Yunqi shook his head, ”but can you really protect Mr. Sun?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Can your Princes, Imperial Uncles, and Uncles still reach into my mansion?”

”...Still have to be careful.”

”Understood, understood,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then, farewell.”

”Farewell.”

Chu Zhiyuan and Sun Qiying left the tavern and strolled along the main street.

The passersby around them were pushed aside by an invisible force, and they walked leisurely as if through a courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Mr. Sun agreed too readily.”

Sun Qiying sighed and said, ”To be honest with the Prince Consort, I’ve been thinking about a way out, considered many options, all of them dead ends.”

”Including entering the Fifth Prince Mansion?”

”...Yes.”

”Seems you don’t trust the Fifth Prince.”

”The Fifth Prince will be helpless when the time comes. After all, he shoulders the rise and fall of a mansion and can’t act recklessly.”

”You have a keen eye. The Fifth Prince is indeed that kind of person,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, ”For the sake of interests, he can sacrifice, including loyalty and friendship.”

Sun Qiying remained silent.

He had been by Cheng Yunzheng’s side all these years, held an extraordinary position, coupled with exceptional insight, he saw the Princes’ actions clearly.

He had a deep understanding of the Princes’ characters.

When the Fifth Prince left the Imperial City, he knew his end was coming.

Many paths were impassable, each was a dead end.

Chu Zhiyuan walked leisurely, his pace slow, his expression calm, ”I actually never understood. Why is Cheng Yunzheng so crazy? Doesn’t he know that using the Demon Clan and the Demon Clan to harm others is the enemy of everyone, an enemy to the world?”

Sun Qiying sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him, ”Is this a test by Yuanzhen towards the Phoenix Dynasty, an adventure? If it succeeds, exchanging a Prince for my wife would be a huge gain?”

Sun Qiying shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Cheng Yunzheng isn’t foolish, he should know the consequences. Does he really think Yuanzhen can protect him?”

He felt if it were Cheng Yunqi, he might believe it, but Cheng Yunzheng wasn’t that naive.

Cheng Yunzheng couldn’t be unaware of the consequences of such a crazy action.

Yet he still did it. Is this arrogant madness or is there another story?

Sun Qiying showed a solemn expression.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at him, ”Is the Spiritual Treasure his only gamble?”

If he hadn’t personally come to Yuanzhen, he wouldn’t know that all of Yuanzhen had given up on Cheng Yunzheng.

This situation seemed very strange to him, a feeling hard to describe.

Sun Qiying shook his head without speaking.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Now that his Spiritual Treasure has been damaged by me, what do you think his end will be?”

Sun Qiying sighed and said, ”Actually, I greatly admire Your Highness.”

Chu Zhiyuan’s spirit light flashed, and he said in a deep voice, ”Is he sacrificing himself to fight for a possibility?”

Sun Qiying was startled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”A desperate gamble, see if he can eliminate my wife, but regardless of success or failure, his ending is destined, so is he sacrificing himself?”

Cheng Yunzheng faced the wall of Yuanzhen, everyone pushing, obviously there was the Emperor’s indulgence behind.

After all, he is the Prince, if the Emperor wants to protect, who dares to act recklessly?

Why does the Emperor Yuanzhen indulge this?

Obviously not wanting to break the oath, also giving an account to the Phoenix Dynasty and Jade Dynasty.

From this, a deduction was born.

Attracting the Demon Clan and Demon Clan to destroy the same clan, all people of the world will punish.

This oath, in the eyes of many people, is like it doesn’t exist.

But in the eyes of the Venerable, among the top echelons of the Three Dynasties, this oath cannot be violated.

It involves a higher level of power constraint.

Sun Qiying sighed, ”Prince Consort is wise!”

Ask in this world, who can see this point?

The Fifth Prince sacrifices himself to fight for Yuanzhen Dynasty’s slim chance.

If Li Miaotan is not eliminated, the world will be under the Phoenix Dynasty’s rule, and Yuanzhen Dynasty will never rise again.

If Li Miaotan becomes the world’s number one, the Phoenix Dynasty might not maintain the current division of the Three Dynasties, possibly seeking to unify the world.

At that time, the Cheng family’s mountains and rivers will be taken away, and without any resistance.

To eliminate her before Li Miaotan grows up, by any means necessary.

In the Fifth Prince’s view, the most powerful means is to use the power of the Demon Clan and Demon Clan to kill Li Miaotan.

Moreover, in the Fifth Prince’s view, the chance of success is very high.

The Demon Clan and Demon Clan also have top experts, comparable to the Spirit Venerable’s top experts.

To entice them to strike, Li Miaotan cannot escape disaster.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, ”From the opposing standpoint, I also have to express my admiration.”

Sun Qiying slowly nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Despite the admiration, still have to disable him.”

Sun Qiying sighed and shook his head without speaking.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”But I think he should have prepared something for his escape.”

Sun Qiying was startled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”He doesn’t seem like someone who would sit and wait to die, willing to sacrifice himself.”

Sun Qiying frowned.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Perhaps he still has a trump card, a treasure unknown to outsiders, which will allow him to escape at a crucial moment.”

”...As far as I know, no.”

”If known by outsiders, how could it be the final trump card.”

”...”

Sun Qiying frowned in thought.

Ultimately, he did not refute.

He vaguely felt that Chu Zhiyuan’s judgment might be correct.

The Fifth Prince’s heroic act this time indeed aligns with his consistent character of preferring to break jade rather than remain intact.

But the Fifth Prince’s character is tenacious, he won’t sit and wait to die, so it’s very likely there’s a surprise move later.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”He only obtained one Spiritual Treasure?”

”Is there anyone with two Spiritual Treasures in this world?” Sun Qiying was puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”There are all sorts of wonders in the great world, moreover, it may not necessarily be a Spiritual Treasure, a treasure similar to concealing the heaven’s secret will do, ...does he have an Avatar?”

”This...” Sun Qiying hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”He has an Avatar, then where is this Avatar currently?”

Sun Qiying hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”No longer in Yuanzhen?...probably went with him to the Phoenix Imperial City,...is he planning a fake death escape there?”

Sun Qiying’s face changed slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Mr. Sun, you as his most important confidant, are all these hidden from you?”

Sun Qiying took a deep breath, shaking his head, ”Prince Consort, these are all speculations.”

”I think it is almost the truth,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Of course, maybe I haven’t thought it through enough, he might have even more formidable moves.”

Sun Qiying frowned in deep thought.

Chu Zhiyuan felt greatly rewarded.

If it weren’t for communicating with Sun Qiying, he really would have been fooled by Cheng Yunzheng.

If Cheng Yunzheng really has a fake death escape plan, the Emperor Yuanzhen is very likely aware of it.

His thoughts spun rapidly, spirit light flashed, and he continued to think deeper.

Beyond the fake death escape, there’s an even more formidable path, which is swapping identity.

After Cheng Yunzheng’s fake death, he incarnates as another person, lurking within the Phoenix Imperial City.

If this person’s status is high enough, and originally possesses a secret treasure that cannot be viewed...

The thought itself is astonishing.

Upon reaching this point, he said solemnly, ”Mr. Sun, will you continue to serve Cheng Yunzheng?”
