In the depths of the Imperial Palace, Wang Chong finally saw the first beauty of the Tang dynasty for the first time. But as soon as he saw Consort Tai Zhen, Wang Chong's heart sank. He suddenly knew that no matter what plan he had before, he had to reconsider it from this moment on.
Because the first beauty of the Tang dynasty was completely different from what he had known before.
"Hum!"
The dark-colored palace curtains swayed, and a jade-like foot with smooth skin and jade-like bones stretched out from behind the curtains, lightly landing on the white jade steps. That delicate jade-like toe was even more sparkling and translucent than the white jade beneath it.
As the slender foot stretched out, a peerless beauty with smooth skin and fair bones slowly walked out from the inside with her head held high.
"Wang Chong, you're finally willing to see me?"
A voice echoed in the palace, accompanied by a pair of sharp eyes with a faint smile, looking down at Wang Chong.
With this gaze, Wang Chong immediately felt an invisible pressure on his shoulders.
Wang Chong had never seen Consort Tai Zhen before, but no matter how ignorant he was, Wang Chong knew that although Consort Tai Zhen had stirred up violent waves in the imperial court, she herself was just an ordinary woman.
Although the Yang Family was also a local high-ranking official, they were far inferior to the Wang Family, a family of generals and ministers. As for Consort Taizhen, she was just an ordinary person who didn't know any martial arts.
But now, Consort Tai Zhen not only revealed a sharp and superior aura that only the concubines and concubines in the imperial palace could have, but also a strong and powerful aura that far surpassed his own.
"The ninth level of the Martial Realm … No, she has definitely reached the first or second level of the Profound Martial Realm. Her strength has improved so much in just a few months! "
Wang Chong felt a chill in his heart.
"Consort Tai Zhen Incident" Wang Chong had learned a lot about Consort Tai Zhen from The King of Song.
Consort Tai Zhen doesn't know martial arts!
Wang Chong was certain of this!
However, in just over half a year, not only had Consort Tai Zhen changed, but even Yang Zhao had changed. However, Consort Tai Zhen's changes were much greater than Yang Zhao's.
"Hahaha, little sister, this is my good brother, and also your good brother. Don't make things difficult for him!"
A hearty voice came from the side.
There were no outsiders here. Yang Zhao hurriedly stood up and spoke up for his sworn brother.
'A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a new light.' The current Yang Zhao was completely different from when Wang Chong had first met him. He wore a white robe and a black silk hat, and his right hand was stroking his beard. His entire body naturally exuded the aura of a scholarly official that would win the admiration of others.
Stellar Energy rumbled through his body, and he exuded the enormous aura of a True Martial Tier 5 or 6.
This ruffian who had once wandered the streets of the capital without the strength to truss a chicken had undergone such an astonishing transformation after entering the palace and officialdom. It was as if he had been reborn.
Wang Chong had diligently practiced for almost a year, but compared to the transformations that Yang Zhao and Consort Tai Zhen had undergone in the last few months, he truly couldn't keep up.
"Forbidden Bestowment Art!"
A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind as he subconsciously thought of this forbidden art. Wang Chong was no stranger to this forbidden art. Back then, his master, The Evil Emperor, had intended to use this method to transfer all of his energy to Wang Chong.
This method could make one an expert in a short period of time, but his master, The Evil Emperor, would also be doomed. This was a huge price, so Wang Chong had refused on the spot.
No matter what kind of bestowment art it was, the price to make one an expert in a short period of time was not small. Thus, this method had never been widely used.
But the imperial household was clearly different.
"I heard back then that there was a group of secret Guardians in the palace. These people began cultivating from a young age, and the meaning of their existence was to accumulate energy so that they could use the bestowment art on the princes and princesses. I didn't pay much attention back then, but it seems that the rumors were true. "
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Your Highness, you're right. Wang Chong should have come long ago. It's just that I've just joined the Kunwu Training Camp and couldn't leave. Please forgive me, Your Highness. "
Wang Chong immediately lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Hmph, you sure are honest."
Consort Tai Zhen sneered coldly, but her expression eventually eased up. Even though she was a little angry at this lad for rejecting her time and time again, she couldn't stand in the way of her cousin.
Moreover, it was true that Wang Chong had joined the Kunwu Training Camp.
However, it was impossible for her to let go of the matter so easily.
"Speak, what is it? The mobilization of the Ministry of War has just passed, so you wouldn't have come here if there wasn't anything special. Speak, what is it? "
As he spoke, he spread open his hands, and two mysterious white-clothed beauties with powerful auras, even stronger than the old nanny at Princess Ni Huang's side, walked out barefooted from within the curtain.
These two middle-aged beauties had hairpins in their hair, and they had cold expressions on their faces. They each held Consort Tai Zhen's hands and supported her to sit on the throne in Yuzhen Palace.
On their foreheads was a tear-shaped flame totem, and it was extremely eye-catching.
A hint of astonishment flashed across Wang Chong's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
"It's about the Fifth Prince!"
Wang Chong said. But as soon as he said those words, weng! The atmosphere in Yuzhen Palace suddenly changed. Consort Tai Zhen's face darkened, and even Yang Zhao's expression darkened.
Even though he was the one who had recommended Wang Chong, he hadn't known what Wang Chong was going to say.
"Wang Chong, do you know what you're saying? You're crazy! Men, send the guest out! "
Consort Tai Zhen's face was as cold as ice. She shot a glance at Yang Zhao, stood up, and immediately ordered the guest out.
Even though she hadn't been in the palace for long, she wasn't blind. The matter regarding the Fifth Prince had only happened in the afternoon, but there was no one in the palace who didn't know about it.
She was favored in the palace, and with the favor of the Holy Emperor and her concubine status, no one in the palace dared to provoke her.
But Consort Tai Zhen also knew that there were some things that she couldn't afford to provoke in a place like this.
The War of the Princes just so happened to be one of those taboos.
"Wang Chong, you've really gone too far this time. The War of the Princes isn't something we can interfere with. Do you know what you're asking of Her Ladyship? The Fifth Prince is now the enemy of everyone. Who knows how many people want to kill him? Whoever dares to help him will become the enemy of all the princes and princesses in the palace, as well as all the concubines in the palace. Damn it, if I knew you were here for this kind of thing, I definitely wouldn't have brought you here. "
Yang Zhao's expression was very unsightly. There was no need for Consort Tai Zhen to give him that attitude. If he had known this, he would have stopped Wang Chong first.
'Don't easily get involved in the disputes between the princes.' This was common sense. Even if one didn't have the accumulation of great clans, without the experience and lessons of the clan, this was a principle that even an ordinary person understood.
The danger of the War of the Princes was too great!
They still didn't have a stable footing in the palace. Even if they were favored, this was still a taboo that couldn't be lightly touched.
They couldn't agree to Wang Chong's request!
This had already exceeded the scope of an ordinary request!
"Her Ladyship!"
Although the temperature in the room plummeted and the atmosphere was no longer suitable for further discussion, Wang Chong didn't leave. He knew that this matter wouldn't be easy, but no matter what, Wang Chong had to try.
"Her Ladyship, if an elephant entered the forest, what would happen?"
"What do you mean?"
Consort Tai Zhen sneered. Had Wang Chong gone crazy? What forest? What elephant? She didn't think that these words meant anything.
No matter what, she would never easily help the Fifth Prince and put herself in danger.
However, Wang Chong was as calm as ever. There was no change in his expression.
"… But, if the forest turns into a room like this, but the animals in the forest don't change. If the elephant doesn't change, what will happen to Your Ladyship in the future? "
Wang Chong continued.
"Wang Chong, what are you trying to say?"
This time, Consort Tai Zhen's eyelids finally twitched. She stared at Wang Chong, vaguely sensing something.
"Your Ladyship, the forest has turned into a room, but the animals haven't changed. The elephant hasn't changed. Does Your Ladyship think that the animals huddled together will wait to be trampled to death by the elephant, or will they attack as a group? "
"Impudent! Are you trying to say that I'm an elephant? "
This time, before Wang Chong could finish speaking, Consort Tai Zhen interrupted him. This comparison was too rude.
"Your Ladyship, please forgive me! Wang Chong didn't have that intention. But doesn't Your Ladyship feel that your situation is very similar to the Fifth Prince's? "
As Wang Chong spoke, he raised his head and gazed at Consort Tai Zhen, who was seated on the throne.
"Wang Chong, shut your mouth! Your Ladyship is of noble birth and is doted on by the Holy Emperor. How could you be the same as the Fifth Prince? Don't speak nonsense. "
Seeing that Wang Chong was about to become ridiculous if he continued speaking, Yang Zhao hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
"Hmph, Cousin, sit down and let him speak! I'd like to see just what he can say. Just how similar am I to the Fifth Prince? "
Consort Tai Zhen sneered.
Wang Chong's thoughts couldn't be hidden from her. However, if he thought that a few casual words would change her mind and make her participate in the War of the Princes, then his thinking was too simple.
Even if the one who came today was that old master of the Wang Clan, she still wouldn't change her mind.
"Your Highness, the elephant is too big. Even if it doesn't do anything, it can't do anything. Even if it doesn't do anything, the animals in the room will also feel threatened. Doesn't Your Ladyship feel that your current situation is the same? Even if you don't do anything, you're still a threat to the other concubines, consorts, and even the princes. If Your Ladyship doesn't participate in the War of the Princes, will you really be safe? "
