Chapter 394 Scheming Against King Zhao
Gu Yuchuan has been very happy at home during this period. With the blessing of luck, his cultivation speed has increased a lot. At the very least, he can feel his magical power increasing.
The market town has been completely built and is now open for business. Every day, powerful figures come to pay their respects, and none of them come empty-handed. Since they need something from him, they naturally take it very seriously.
However, Gu Yuchuan values the quality of their products the most. After all, he has ambitions and wants to make his Linlang Market the number one market in Qingyun Realm. Therefore, he needs to pay close attention to every aspect and ensure that there are no problems.
Now, the merchant has actually settled two-thirds of the goods. The quality of the goods is very high. Many of the goods are top-of-the-line products in their respective categories, which are things that ordinary cultivators cannot buy. However, good quality goods will definitely have higher prices. Quality and price are often positively correlated.
It's believed that the Linlang Market will be open soon. However, preparations for the opening ceremony have already begun. Gu Yuchuan's idea is to hold an auction on the opening day.
He and the merchants brought out many exquisite items, ensuring that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators could find their desired goods, and their reputation quickly spread. From then on, when people mentioned Linlang Market, they would think of high-end and exquisite products.
However, just then, Hu Mingxin arrived. Gu Yuchuan realized that he hadn't seen Hu Mingxin for two years. He waved his hand and let the sisters meet.
The two sisters have been separated for even longer, more than three years, a separation they have never experienced before.
However, their identities are now completely different. Before, they were just little fox demons from a Qi Refining faction. Now, one is the Crown Princess of the Human Race, and the other is a princess of the dynasty. Their strengths are also vastly different: one is a Golden Core cultivator, and the other is a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.
The two poured out their hearts to each other, saying that they missed each other so much and that they were each other's only family.
Hu Mingxin came here with two things to discuss, but she only told her younger sister about one: that she was pregnant. Hu Mingyu was overjoyed. The two of them had finally passed on their Hu family bloodline, and that was enough.
The two drank quite a bit of alcohol that day. Although pregnant women are not suitable for drinking alcohol, Hu Mingxin was already a Golden Core cultivator, so how could a little bit of alcohol affect the fetus?
The next day, Hu Mingxin carefully dressed herself up before visiting Gu Yuchuan.
This was the first time Gu Yuchuan had seen her in so long. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked dignified and elegant. She was completely different from when they met many years ago. Her status as the Crown Princess had indeed given her a lot of power.
However, she still humbled herself and knelt down to greet Gu Yuchuan.
However, Gu Yuchuan did not make him kneel down. After all, the Dayong Dynasty was also a dynasty with great fortune. Making the Crown Princess kneel to him would disrupt his fortune and would not benefit him.
"Please sit down. Congratulations on becoming pregnant with the Crown Prince's child. Your position in the palace will be even more secure from now on. May I ask what brings you here today?"
He had never really liked dealing with Hu Mingxin. She was just too smart and could calculate everything, which was a quality that Gu Yuchuan disliked. However, this did not prevent him from profiting from her.
Hu Mingxin came because there was something important that he hadn't told his sister.
"Your Majesty, our prince has finally agreed to take action against Prince Zhao. Therefore, we would like to ask Your Majesty for help. However, Your Majesty can choose one item from Prince Zhao's collection first."
Gu Yuchuan was indeed tempted. He already had a grudge against Prince Zhao, and he hadn't forgotten that during the Dayong Dynasty, Prince Zhao and Marquis Guanjun had plotted against him many times, and they were all on his mind.
However, he still had a question in his mind: "If I remember correctly, there are several Nascent Soul stage experts in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. Why are they looking for me?"
Hu Mingxin smiled seductively: "Of course, it is I who want to see you. This is my maternal home. I want to improve my status in the Eastern Palace. Favor alone is not enough. This time, I will let those people see that although my family is not in the Great Yong Dynasty, I am not from the mountains. This will be a good thing for me and my child in the future."
Her answer was very sincere and a plausible reason, but Gu Yuchuan felt that there was definitely more to the story than just that one reason. However, he didn't care because he was determined to go.
If we don't seize this opportunity to kill King Zhao, it will be very difficult to make a move.
No matter what wrong Prince Zhao has done, he is still a prince of the Dayong Dynasty and the younger brother of the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty. In their internal affairs, the crown prince takes the lead and Gu Yuchuan can take action, but if he were to take action on his own, it would be a provocation against the Dayong Dynasty.
This is a very serious matter. Gu Yuchuan doesn't think he can provoke them. The Dayong Dynasty has the power of a Nascent Soul Venerable. Their Divine Dragon Dynasty is far from that level.
"Okay, I agree to this. Just let me know in advance when you're ready to take action."
After the matter was finished, Hu Mingxin still showed no sign of getting up to leave, so Gu Yuchuan spoke up again.
"Does the Crown Princess have anything else to say?"
Hu Mingxin then said, "Your Majesty, could you please not let my sister know about this? If she knows, she will definitely go too. I don't want her to experience these things, the killing and bloodshed. I, as her older sister, will bear it. It's enough for her to focus on her cultivation."
Gu Yuchuan really couldn't agree with his educational philosophy; flowers grown in a greenhouse are bound to be unable to withstand the frost and snow.
"Your Highness, your sister has grown up. She's not the little fox who only cries when things happen anymore. You need to learn to respect her thoughts. Hatred is something you both share. Have you thought about how she would feel if she didn't go?"
Gu Yuchuan was too lazy to continue talking to her about this. He waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything: "I will tell her about this. If you don't want him to go, I will tell her. As for whether he goes or not, let her decide for herself. She's already at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. She can make her own decision about this. That's settled."
Hu Mingxin had no choice but to take her leave. Gu Yuchuan immediately summoned Hu Mingyu and told her about it.
Hu Mingyu's eyes reddened. Over the years, she had never let go of the hatred in her heart; she could never forget the pain she felt that rainy night. Her choice was the same as Gu Yuchuan's: she would go, she would witness the death of her enemy with her own eyes.
And so the matter was settled. After the Crown Prince informed them, they went together.
However, this is only the initial planning stage, and it will likely be some time before any actual action is taken.
