Chapter 14 Ancestor

n finally found a clue.She was a courtesan who had once shared wine with Bai Fuhuan. She remembered him because of his status and generosity."Young Master Bai"This sentence to Bai Fuhuan now is like h...Mu Yinghua went to find the Emperor Daqian on the second day.

Immediately afterwards, the news of Mu Yinghua's volunteering to go to Feilong City caused a stir in the court.

Throughout history, those who have been bestowed with imperial favor were either the reigning emperor, the crown prince, or at the very least, a prince. But now, a princess has volunteered herself, which is quite unexpected.

For this, Emperor Dagan specially placed a matter on the court for discussion, but it seemed that there were quite a few people who opposed it.

The reasons those who oppose are nothing but that Mu Yinghua is a princess and just a woman.

The message came that Zhang Liyang was still somewhat disappointed at the time, thinking that this plan had failed again. But unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better the next day.

The princes who were playing video games at home, hearing that Mu Yinghua volunteered, suddenly brightened their eyes.

They were playing hide-and-seek to avoid this task anyway. Now that someone has volunteered, it's like a timely downpour for them; there's no way they wouldn't let the rain fall.

So that night, these princes each showed off their abilities, going in and out of the residences of some officials until dawn broke. Only then did these princes return home.

So at the morning assembly the next day, those who had originally opposed it all changed their tune and fully supported it.

Sitting on the dragon throne, the Emperor of Dagan looked at his ministers who remained consistent in their stance. He knew what they were thinking and didn't say anything, only nodding in acknowledgment.

Thus, the matter of Mu Yinghua's journey to Fei Long City to bestow imperial grace was settled.

Of course, it wasn't just Mu Yinghua who went to Feilong City. A group of officials also followed, led by the Right Attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to Feilong City.

The decision made at the morning meeting was conveyed to Mu Yinghua and Zhang Liyang by noon.

To be honest, when Zhang Liyang really saw the imperial decree, he himself couldn't believe it, let alone Mu Yinghua.

Suddenly able to get away from the palace and the imperial city, Mu Yinghua didn't know for a moment whether she should be happy or sad.

In the afternoon, maidservants around Mu Yinghua had already begun packing her belongings.

The princess's diplomatic mission to the border required a considerable amount of preparation, so nearly the entire Yuanqing Palace was abuzz with activity. In fact, Zhang Liyang left without anyone noticing.

"Master Zhang, your ancestor is waiting for you inside."

In a secluded part of the palace, Zhang Liyang was following behind an eunuch to a courtyard.

Thank you!

Watching the eunuch leave the way, Zhang Liyang also took a few deep breaths, then pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

Although eunuchs held no official positions in the Great Qian dynasty, it is undeniable that they remained a force to be reckoned with.

And among the eunuchs, there were also different ranks according to the master they served. The highest rank was this ancestor of the eunuchs.

Only the imperial eunuch ancestor was wearing a red robe.

So when he entered the courtyard and saw that flash of red, Zhang Liyang bowed his head deeply towards the red-robed figure and performed a deep bow. "I am Zhang Liyang, paying respects to my ancestor."

Zhang Liyang's greeting went unanswered, yet he couldn't lift his head and remained bowing, still waiting.

>After a while, a voice came, "Get up."

"Thank you, ancestors!"

Zhang Liyang rose and slightly raised his head. He saw a kind-looking old man with white hair all over his head, dressed in a red robe.

And he is the current Emperor Daqian's personal eunuch, Feng Zhen!

How old are you this year

"Reporting to our ancestors, I am seventeen years old this year."

"Seventeen, ah, how good it is to be young. When I was your age, Your Majesty wasn't even Your Majesty yet."

Feng Zhen's words went unanswered. Zhang Liyang remained silent, standing there motionless.

Looking at Zhang Liyang's lack of response, Feng Zhen seemed more satisfied and nodded. "You are pretty good."

As eunuchs, we should do more and speak less. That's how we please our master, don't you think

"What the elders said."

"Was it you who suggested the idea about Princess Huqing"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck Zhang Liyang's mind, causing his face to pale slightly.

"How did Feng really know Does he knowing mean that the Emperor of Great Qin also knows"

Zhang Liyang's mind was racing, but he couldn't find the words.

"Hee hee, although I serve the Emperor, I do know a little about those princes and princesses."

"How could Princess Huqing, who grew up in the deep palace and was innocent and cheerful, suddenly think of going to Feilong City"

"And yet, here we are."

Feng Zhen's words were like heavy hammers, constantly pounding on Zhang Liyang, making him break out in a cold sweat.

"Well, what's the point of doing this"

Zhang Liyang couldn't help but lick his own dry lips, then tried hard to calm himself down. "Reporting to our ancestor, the junior only saw that His Highness was haggard every day, and he felt unbearable. So he thought of letting His Highness go out for a walk."

"That's it"

"That's all I have to report back to our ancestors."

The courtyard fell silent once more. Although Zhang Liyang's heart was still a little uneasy, he believed that as long as he stuck to this excuse, nothing major would happen.

"Hmph, you little brat, trying to pull this on me" Feng Zhen let out a cold snort, then abruptly changed his tone. "Well, you've also solved the emperor's predicament, so I'll believe you this time."

Thank you, ancestors.

"Hmph, what's there to thank me for I haven't finished asking yet. Huaqing Princess is a done deal, now you can tell me about your martial arts training."

"This is a gift from His Highness…"

"Liar!"

A furious shout cut off Zhang Liyang's words, and at the same time, a powerful aura erupted from Feng Zhen's body, like a mountain pressing down on Zhang Liyang.

All eunuchs were tested for their aptitude from the moment they entered the palace, and whether or not they had any cultivation talent was immediately clear.

"And you, Zhang Liyang, had no talent for cultivation at first. Now why have you reached the fourth realm of one ring"

"Do you really think the food from the imperial kitchen can be eaten without restraint"

Another bolt of lightning struck Zhang Liyang's mind. He hadn't expected that even though he thought he had concealed himself well, in the eyes of this ancestor, he was as if he had been stripped bare, seen through and through.

"Grandfather, I…"

Just as Zhang Liyang was about to speak, a gust of wind struck him head-on. Before he could even react, a shadow engulfed him, and a large hand landed on the top of his head.

Subsequently, Zhang Liyang felt an invisible force gushing into his head from above. It surged and crashed through him, instantly spreading to every part of his limbs.

"Huh There's actually a cultivation aptitude"owards his chest."Exquisite like ancient jade!""This is the Qi of heaven and earth!"Once again admiring the extraordinary beauty of the jade, Zhang Liyang gently inhaled with slightly parted lips.Phew...
