Chapter 272 Human Race's Scheme
Gu Yuchuan thus began his leisure time. He spent his days watching song and dance performances and strolling around his territory. His mind calmed down, and he even felt that his state of mind had improved a lot, which would be of great benefit to his future cultivation. It was truly an unexpected but fruitful outcome.
With him free, everyone else in the Flood Dragon Palace got busy. After all, you've finished your work and done it well, but seeing your master arrive, you're bound to feel embarrassed to be idle. This led to everyone working even more diligently during this period.
Meanwhile, a scheme involving Gu Yuchuan had already begun among the human race.
In the Dayong Dynasty, in the East Palace, Changning Hall, the residence of the Crown Princess, Wang Ruoming had become the Crown Princess. The original emperor had abdicated, and the Crown Prince had successfully ascended the throne. The imperial edicts for the Crown Prince's investiture and the investiture of the East Palace concubines had also been issued. Although the investiture ceremony had not yet been held and she could not enjoy the auspiciousness, she had already moved to the East Palace, and the people below had changed their address to her.
Inside the palace, everything was magnificent and luxurious. The Crown Prince's status was far higher than that of the Crown Prince's grandson. The same was true for the Crown Princess; she was guaranteed to become a Noble Consort in the future. Nowadays, she dressed much more elegantly, her hair adorned with all sorts of precious jewels that were so dazzling that people dared not look directly at her.
Just then, the Crown Prince walked in: "Ming'er, were you waiting anxiously? Your father has just ascended the throne and is very busy. I came back late. If I come back late again next time, you don't have to wait for me to eat first. Now that I am a Golden Core cultivator, there is no need for me to eat every day."
The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince with eyes full of desire. She lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of disappointment in her expression: "Your Highness, I don't have much time to see you these days. I want to cherish every moment I have with you."
The Crown Prince pulled him down to sit, his voice softening with tenderness: "I know I've neglected you a bit lately. I've just become Crown Prince, and I haven't quite mastered my duties yet, so I spend a lot of time in the palace every day. Once I'm more proficient, I'll have more time to spend with you. You should also focus on your cultivation. I've noticed that your cultivation has slowed down since you reached Foundation Establishment. We are cultivators; cultivation is fundamental."
At this point, the Crown Princess's eyes reddened: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to, but my bloodline has become my weakness. As a low-grade demon beast, even if I manage to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, my cultivation will slow down. I dare not advance my bloodline in the capital, or Your Highness's political enemies will definitely find out."
The Crown Prince and the Emperor knew that she was a demon, but most people did not. Otherwise, the fact that the Crown Princess was a demon would have caused a huge uproar. The Crown Prince sighed and said, "I will remember this. I will make good plans for you. For example, I will send you back to visit your family. I will prepare some very good spiritual items for you to ensure that your bloodline will rise to a higher level."
Wang Ruoming leaned into the Crown Prince's arms, but her eyes were not filled with his tender affection. Compared to cultivation, there was something else she cared about more: revenge. Now that the Crown Prince's status had changed, the once untouchable enemy, the Marquis of Champion, was no longer so unattainable. Just as she was about to say this, a maid's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Princess, a maid from the main courtyard says that the Crown Princess invites Your Highness to dine."
The Crown Princess entered the palace recently. She comes from a prominent family, but her abilities are mediocre. After entering the palace, she looked down on Wang Ruoming and has been pressuring him step by step lately.
Normally, Wang Ruoming wouldn't bother arguing, but today was different. He planned to talk to the Crown Prince about the Marquis of Champion, and he couldn't delay any longer: "Your Highness, could you please not leave? I also have something to discuss with you today."
She looked at the Crown Prince with a charming gaze, and the Crown Prince nodded in agreement. Although the Crown Princess was of noble status, this was the Eastern Palace, and he, as the Crown Prince, could favor whomever he wanted.
"Tell the Crown Princess that I am tired today and will not travel further. I will rise again tomorrow to accompany the Crown Princess."
In the main courtyard, after learning of this incident, the Crown Princess smashed everything in front of her, her face turning extremely ugly: "You vile woman! The daughter of a minor official dares to oppose me like this! You all need to think of a way to stop this! I can't stand it anymore! I must kill her!"
However, the atmosphere in Changning Palace remained very warm despite the Crown Princess's change in mood.
"Your Highness, now that our strength has increased, shouldn't we start making moves against the Marquis of Champion? As far as I know, the Marquis of Champion wants to surrender to His Majesty. If he succeeds, it will be difficult to kill him later. Does Your Highness intend to let this enemy go?"
The crown prince's eyes turned cold; he certainly didn't want to let this enemy go.
“This Marquis Champion is now at the peak of the Golden Core stage. If we were to assassinate him, we wouldn’t have enough people around us. Although he has some crimes that we could use, we don’t have any evidence, and we can’t deal with him openly. This is indeed a problem.”
The Crown Princess thought of something: "I remember the Azure Dragon Demon King said that if he really wanted to harm the Marquis of Champion, he could lend a hand."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince also thought of Gu Yuchuan. However, although he was the second most outstanding talent in the world, how long had it been since he broke through to the Golden Core stage? He didn't know how much combat power he possessed now. However, since his beloved concubine had put it this way, it wouldn't be good for him to refuse. Besides, deep down, he didn't want to let the Marquis of Champion off the hook. The other party had schemed against him multiple times, and he had to make him pay a price.
"How about this, I'll contact the Azure Dragon Demon King. If he's willing, we can discuss how to handle this together. After all, the other party is the Champion Marquis. If we don't handle it well, we'll be in great danger. Don't worry, my feelings for you are very deep, and I keep revenge in my heart."
The Crown Princess was overjoyed to hear this. Even though she had approached the Crown Prince for revenge, she knew that to deceive others, she had to deceive herself first. If she wanted the Crown Prince to believe that she loved him deeply, then she had to make herself love him deeply first. And now, she had inevitably fallen in love with the Crown Prince.
Soon, an invitation to Gu Yuchuan to attend the Crown Prince's investiture ceremony arrived in Gu Yuchuan's hands.
As luck would have it, Gu Yuchuan had been quite free lately and was looking to relax, so he naturally accepted the invitation. After packing his things, he boarded a flying boat bound for the capital. Little did he know that this trip to the capital would also cause many ups and downs. Although there were no ups and downs in the simulator, everything was slowly changing, and fortunately, he understood this principle.
