Chapter 0065: Shrinking the Earth
They hurriedly found Su Ru in the back garden, and Su Ru came to report to Concubine Yu who was admiring the flowers with Concubine Chen and Concubine Mei.
Yu Fei smiled and said, "It's okay. Ming'er knows the big picture and won't lose her temper."
Chen Fei said with a smile: "Ming'er's temper is really frightening. To be honest, even I, as her aunt, am afraid of her!"
"She is still polite." Concubine Yu said with a smile.
Chen Fei smiled sweetly: "Sister Yu, please stop flattering her. She is quite polite, but that's only when she's not angry. Once she gets angry, she won't care about etiquette."
Yu Fei smiled awkwardly.
Mei Fei glanced at Chen Fei and said, "Aren't you the same? Your temper isn't as bad as Ming Er's, but you still say whatever you want."
She comforted Concubine Yu: "Sister Yu, you are Ming'er's lifeline. If it doesn't involve you, Sister Yu, she won't lose her temper."
Yu Fei nodded quickly.
Su Ru stepped out and waited outside the Guangming Gate with Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue.
The Guangming Gate is the main gate of the Guangming Palace. It is heavily guarded and no one is allowed to enter without imperial permission, so they could not go in.
They only hoped that they could persuade her in time when Dugu Shuming was kicked out of Guangming Gate.
In the Guangming Palace, Dugu Shuming looked at Dugu Qian coldly: "Father, these ministers are so righteous and awe-inspiring. When they think about the ancestral system, have they ever thought about the well-being of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Dowager, Empress, and Imperial Concubines?!"
Dugu Qian sat behind the dragon table and pointed at the pile of memorials: "Look, these are all from the imperial court, and they are all in accordance with the ancestral rules that cannot be violated."
"I don't believe they are not afraid of death. Once they know Li Chengkong's medical skills, I'm afraid they will all come up to him eagerly , wishing they could take back their words!... This time it was too dangerous. If Li Chengkong had come a step later, my fifteenth brother would have really died!"
She still feels scared when she thinks of that scene.
"Most of them are afraid of death, but there are a few who are not afraid of death."
"They are not afraid of death, but what about their parents, wives and children? I don't believe there are really people with hearts of stone. How can a person with a heart of stone be loyal to his king and father?"
"The situation cannot be disobeyed. I cannot risk the disapproval of the world and keep him here. I can only let him return to the Xiaoling Mausoleum."
"Father, what if someone else in the palace becomes seriously ill? Should we follow the ancestral rules and not let him leave the Xiaoling Mausoleum?"
Dugu Qian remained silent.
"That means that even if someone in the palace is seriously ill, he cannot be summoned back to treat him, right?"
Dugu Qian sighed.
"I asked my father to allow my mother to go to Xiaoling Mausoleum to recuperate."
"Nonsense!" Dugu Qian shook his head.
How could the concubines leave the palace without permission?
Except for visiting relatives, accompanying on tours, and offering incense, concubines are not allowed to leave the Forbidden Palace. This is also the rule.
Dugu Shuming asked, "What if mother gets sick again? Are we going to watch her die?"
"Isn't your mother okay?"
"It's fine now, but who knows if it will happen again in the future? Who can predict the future?"
"Okay, stop messing around. I still have to review memorials!" Dugu Qian said impatiently.
Dugu Shuming said: "Then let mother go to Xiaoling Mausoleum!"
Dugu Qian shook his head and picked up a memorial.
Dugu Shuming went forward to grab it, but was avoided by Dugu Qian. She tried to grab it again, but was still avoided. She snorted and stopped trying: "Okay, then I'll stay here!"
She sat directly on Lu Zhang's chair.
Lu Zhang had been like invisible all along, and seeing this now, he secretly groaned.
He coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"Speak." Dugu Qian perked up.
"Let the craftsmen of the Imperial Clothing Bureau make a carriage that can be pulled by the Heavenly Wind Horse. If Concubine Yu gets sick, she can ride this carriage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and her illness won't be delayed."
The best carriage in the world must be the emperor's carriage, but this carriage has heavy defense and is naturally thick.
Dugu Qian clapped his hands: "You, Old Lu, are quite clever, not bad!"
He looked at Dugu Shuming and said, "Ming'er, you can go to the Clothing Bureau or the Palace Bureau to find someone to do it yourself. Is that okay?"
Dugu Shuming nodded reluctantly: "Okay... Father, you will regret sending Li Chengkong back to Xiaoling Mausoleum!"
Dugu Qian's face darkened : "Hurry up and go!"
Dugu Shuming didn't care about his expression at all: "It's disheartening to cross the river and then burn the bridge. Will Li Chengkong still be able to be devoted next time? Don't think that he can be driven around at will just because he's a eunuch or a servant. He has a bad temper!"
" Your Highness , how dare he, a lowly eunuch without any rank or position, complain?" Lu Zhang said calmly, "Just reward him with some money and property!"
Dugu Shuming sneered.
Lu Zhang is a very smart man, but he is like this. It is obvious that he is deliberately suppressing Wang Ruoyu.
This is really too much.
She thought it was too much, but Lu Zhang felt that he was already too soft-hearted. He didn't accuse him of any crime and only gave him a little grievance. He was merciful enough!
He hoped that Li Chengkong would harbor resentment and act out of anger, causing the emperor to mobilize the Wind Chaser to surround and kill him!
Dugu Qian said in a deep voice: "Go!"
Dugu Shuming said impatiently: "Token!"
Dugu Qian picked up the token on the dragon table and threw it out, and the wind whistled and hit her.
She stretched out her jade arm and hand, took it lightly, turned around and left.
Dugu Qian slapped the dragon table with a "bang", and the pile of memorials collapsed and immediately filled the dragon table.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Lu Zhang was startled and said quickly, "The princess also has good intentions."
"This girl is getting more and more presumptuous!" Dugu Qian said angrily, "Just wait and see how I deal with her next time!"
Lu Zhang shook his head secretly.
Princess Qingming would always make me furious. She would always say that, but she would never really punish me harshly.
In the final analysis, it was all for the sake of Concubine Yu's face. Otherwise, how could the emperor tolerate such an offense, even if it was to his own daughter.
…
Li Chengkong was about to leave the yard and looked around reluctantly.
It is quiet and elegant here, the living environment is extremely comfortable, and my martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, it’s not mine after all.
Just as he was about to leave the hospital, Dugu Shuming came towards him, still dressed in white as white as snow and as beautiful as a fairy.
She took out a thin booklet from her sleeves: "This is a gift from my mother."
Li Chengkong took it and looked down: "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch Technique."
He looked up at Dugu Shuming.
Dugu Shuming said calmly: "Dayunchao Shangqingfeng's Qinggong, my mother said that although there is only one level, the speed is faster than most Qinggong."
Li Chengkong knew that Shangqing Peak was one of the three peaks of Dayun Dynasty, which was equivalent to the Qinglian Holy Sect of Dayue Dynasty. How could its martial arts be passed on to outsiders?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Chengkong flipped through it directly, read it quickly, and showed regret when he closed it.
There are nine levels in this technique of shrinking the earth into an inch, but there is only one level here.
Seeing his disappointment, Dugu Shuming snorted: "One level is fast enough, I'm just worried that you can't practice it!"
She had tried to practice, but gave up after one try.
This method of mind is too weird, it involves the Eight Trigrams, the Xun and Kan positions, as well as the time, direction, etc. It is extremely complicated and miscellaneous.
Let’s not talk about this for now.
Even if one has managed to master it, before each performance one still has to look at the sky and earth, observe the time, check the ground's atmosphere, understand yin and yang, know the four symbols, determine the eight trigrams, and then move one's internal energy according to these factors.
According to the theory of "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch", outside the body is the external world, and inside the body is the internal universe. Once the external world and the internal universe are in harmony, heaven and man will be united, and one can cross the void.
She was dazzled and upset, and felt that this light Kung Fu was so inexplicable that her head was about to explode.
This is not some kind of light skill, it's simply magic.
As a princess, she had read many books in the Forbidden Palace, among which were some Taoist magic spells that were written in a miraculous way, but could only be regarded as fiction.
These spells are just some beautiful fantasies, an impossible dream. If anyone takes them seriously and practices according to these spells, he will waste his time at best, or go astray or even die at worst.
Li Chengkong closed his eyes and analyzed in his mind.
He didn't believe that with his supercomputing ability, he couldn't break through a mere layer of mental method, even if this mental method was the miraculous achievement of Dayun Chao Shangqing Peak.
After a moment, Li Chengkong opened his eyes and asked, "Has anyone mastered this technique of shrinking the earth into an inch?"
"Of course!" Dugu Shuming nodded: "There is a disciple of Shangqing Peak in this generation who has mastered it, and she is a woman!"
