Chapter 988: The Empress ‘Ruthlessness (2)

With the experience of the sour water, Ji Xueyan didn’t think too much about it. It was the same as before.

Zhang Ronghua didn’t let her leave. He calculated the time and figured that the pills and talismans he refined last time were almost used up. He took the initiative to ask for it. The latter took out the things hesitantly and didn’t refine them immediately. With the matter of the Five Elements Righteous Sword Formation, he would give her the pills two days after refining them.

They chatted for a while.

He saw Ling Chen and sent her to the courtyard.

A gust of night wind blew, and Ji Xueyan’s figure disappeared.

He didn’t return to his room. Instead, he left through the side door and stopped by the Calm Lake. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the calm lake.

Footsteps sounded.

Zhang Ronghua didn’t even turn his head. He knew who it was.

Uncle Shi walked to the side and stopped. His old face sighed.” I’m getting old. I can’t sleep at night.”

“Give me your hand. I’ll help you nurse yourself back to health.”

Uncle Shi smiled and extended his right hand.

Taking his pulse, Zhang Ronghua mobilized the Black Yellow True Essence and the Creation True Essence into his body to heal his body. He checked again and found nothing unusual. There was no cultivation at all. His vitality was gradually aging, like an old man who was about to reach the end of his life.

Whether it was this time or the past, Uncle Shi would always appear in time whenever he was upset. In addition to his profound knowledge, he had no choice but to think more.

Although he had used his Clear Vision to check it, he took the opportunity to try it again tonight. Everything was normal. It seemed that he had thought too much.

After a while.

“How is it?” Zhang Ronghua asked with a smile.

“It’s much more comfortable,” Uncle Shi said.

“The three meals in the residence are True Spiritual Meat, and at the very least, demon meat. This shouldn’t have happened with food nourishment.”

Uncle Shi smiled slightly.” It was tough when I was young. It was not easy to live. How could I dare to ask for so much?”

He looked at the night sky.

As the end of the month approached, the waning moon was no longer as bright as it was in the middle of the moon. There were much fewer stars, only a few scattered stars, and the distance between them was very far.

” Some people like the sun, some like the moon, some like the stars, and some even want to have them together. They appear at different times and have their own missions. If you want them to appear together, be it day or night, unless you have more power than the sum of them, you can float in the air at the same time and do things according to your own will.”

Zhang Ronghua frowned. He felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words. Uncle Shi seemed to be taking the opportunity to point out something.

If Ji Xueyan represented the moon and Yang Hongling represented the stars, then who was the sun? Besides them, there was no third person!

No!

The analogy did not make sense, but there was a certain logic to his words. If his power had exceeded their combined power, whether it was the old teacher or the Grand Tutor, they would have to act according to their wishes. If the Xia Emperor had behaved like a grandson with his tail between his legs, everything that had happened today would not have happened.

He dominated the continent, and his words could decide the life and death of countless people!

Without waiting for him to speak, Uncle Shi’s voice rang out once more,” It’s both an obstacle and a helper. In one’s life, one should either not fight, or be ambitious. The ancients said that you can’t have both fish and bear’s paw. In this old servant’s eyes, it’s all bullsh * t. It’s just that one isn’t strong enough, and that’s why one would say such shameless words. If one is strong enough, everyone would want to take everything for themselves when they meet something beautiful. Don’t blame yourself for your mistakes. The predicament is only temporary. After you step over it, the world will be wide.”

He picked up a small stone from the ground and casually threw it to the ground.

As the stone rushed forward, the lake water rippled and spread until it was swallowed by the lake water.

” When you need to be ruthless, you must be ruthless. Don’t be merciful. As long as the result is satisfactory, you will be happy. Some methods will only hurt for a while. Don’t care about gossip. Follow your heart and endure it!”

“Who are you?” Zhang Ronghua asked seriously.

“The butler of your residence.”

“How can a butler say such things?”

Uncle Shi shook his head.” There is gold and jade in books. There is a house of gold in books. The more you read, the more you understand.”

“Rest early, this old servant will go back.”

He bowed and turned to leave.

“Illusion?” Zhang Ronghua thought.

He shook his head.

He didn’t think about it anymore. Regardless of whether he was willing to admit it or not, after Uncle Shi’s guidance, his mood was indeed much better.

He turned around and went back.

He entered the room and sat on the bed. He formed a seal with his hands and circulated the Black Yellow Heaven Opening Art to refine his true essence. According to his guess, he would break through soon.

He cultivated overnight.

There was no need to go to court today. The Xia Emperor had two days off, and it was only the second day.

After eating breakfast, he stayed in the residence for a while and got Uncle Shi to prepare some gifts. He then drove the Time Chariot to Vermillion Bird Lane 150. The Great Xia army’s defensive map was the reward for Zheng Fugui’s mansion. It was luxurious and grand, and the layout was not inferior to his own.

At this point.

Uncle Shi was waiting outside while Zhang Ronghua carried the gift into the mansion.

The truth was just as Zhang Qin had said. Such a huge matter could not be hidden. Zheng Shan found out the next day and rushed over with Qiuniang. After experiencing so many things, he did not understand it like before.

As a general, Chang ‘an was a soldier’s duty. He enjoyed glory and wealth. Injuries and sacrifices were inevitable. Not only was he not angry, but he was proud that his son had made a name for himself.

After the small talk.

Zhang Ronghua put down the gift and saw that Zheng Fugui was much better. He had recovered 70 – 80% and would be fully recovered in a few days. He did not let him go and insisted on staying for lunch.

Helplessly, he could only agree.

..

In the Eastern Palace.

There were fewer government affairs today. The morning court session ended and he returned after dealing with the memorials.
