Chapter 73: Imperial Palace, Eunuch Zhao’s Shock!
“I didn’t expect [Past Amitabha Sutra] to have such a terrifying vigor.” Su Qin couldn’t help but exclaim.
He just Cultivated [Past Amitabha Sutra] for half an hour, but the increase in strength that he felt was equivalent to the previous ten days.
“The Glazed Golden Core has also shrunk…” Su Qin whispered to himself.
Generally speaking, a Glazed Golden Core can last Su Qin for one to two months. Because the medicinal power contained in the Glazed Golden Core is too much and it takes time to digest and absorb.
But just now, when Su Qin was using [Past Amitabha Sutra], he found that the Glazed Golden Core was dissolving at a terrifying speed.
“Not bad, not bad.”
“At this rate, I will be able to enter the 2nd Heavenly Layer within a year at most.” Su Qin’s eyes shone.
If he didn’t obtain [Past Amitabha Sutra], even with the Glazed Golden Core’s assistance, Su Qin would’ve taken nearly ten years to break through.
But now, the time he needed has been shortened by more than ten times.
This is because in the breakthrough between Heavenly Layers, it’s not just about the accumulation of energy, but more importantly, also gaining more insights on the Heavens and Earth.
“According to the rumors, if the three Buddhist Supreme Scriptures: [Past Amitabha Sutra], [Tathagata Now], and [Unborn Sutra] are understood, then one will gain great freedom…” Su Qin slightly yearned.
“Unfortunately, although cultivating [Past Amitabha Sutra] really gives a lot of benefits, but the consumption of Glazed Golden Core is still too fast…” Su Qin thought.
He’ll need to consume a second Glazed Golden Core in just one week.
“Did it cause some movement outside?”
Su Qin thoughts moved, and his Divine Sense quickly enveloped the entire Shaolin Temple.
Since Su Qin’s Cultivation stopped, the storm outside also began to dissipate slowly, but it will obviously take some time before it fully disappears.
…
Outside the Back Mountain.
Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads were hesitating on whether to enter the area or not.
After all, the movement just now was a bit big, even if Abbot Hui Wen speculated that it was a breakthrough in Su Qin’s Cultivation that caused such a huge natural phenomenon, but there was still some worry in his heart.
Then, a calm voice resounded in the ears of Abbot Hui Wen and Court Heads.
“There’s no problem.”
Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads immediately bowed slightly: “Yes.”
…
…
At the same time.
Outside the Tang Empire Imperial Palace.
At this moment, Prince Li Sheng had a strange expression on his face.
“My father made me the Crown Prince?” Prince Li Sheng blinked.
Although he had discovered his identity a few years ago, and that he is the heir of the Imperial Family, Li Sheng never dreamed that one day he would become the Crown Prince.
After all, what is a Crown Prince?
No matter which Empire, a Crown Prince is second only to the Emperor, and after the Emperor’s death, he will sit on the throne next.
It can be said that if Li Sheng becomes the Crown Prince, he will be the future Emperor of the Tang Empire.
“Yunyun, is this true?” Li Sheng looked at Su Yueyun next to him.
As early as a few years ago, when he followed Eunuch Liu to the Imperial Palace, it didn’t take long before he took Su Yueyun over.
“Don’t be too happy.”
“It’s not all good things that come with being the Crown Prince…” Su Yueyun shook her head and said.
“En, you’re right…” Prince Li Sheng also calmed down.
Even if he didn’t think about being a Crown Prince, what about others?
The most important thing is, since Emperor Tang made him the Crown Prince, what would the other princes think? What would the court think?
Over the years, Li Sheng’s big brothers have openly struggled for the position of Crown Prince and almost cast aside all considerations for face.
Will they allow the Crown Prince position to just fall to Li Sheng so easily?
There were also the supporters behind the princes. They have long bet on a certain prince, so what would they think if Li Sheng suddenly came in and snatched their efforts?
With just a quick thought, Prince Li Sheng felt his scalp numb.
“Don’t worry.”
“Since Your Majesty made such a decision, there must be a reason for such a decision.” Su Yueyun comforted.
“I hope so too.” Li Sheng’s expression was stiff but nonetheless nodded.
Suddenly, someone rushed in.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, there is someone from the palace…”
“Someone from the palace?” Prince Li Sheng was taken aback and said immediately: “Got it, I’ll come right over.”
Soon, Li Sheng took Su Yueyun to the outside.
At this moment, the door had been surrounded by the Forbidden Army, and an eunuch wearing a purple uniform was standing there with a smile.
“Purple?” Li Sheng felt a roar in his mind.
After being in Chang’an City for so long, Li Sheng naturally knew what the color purple represents in the Imperial Palace.
It is Eunuch Zhao, a great eunuch who is more than a princely eunuch under Emperor Tang.
Under normal circumstances, Eunuch Zhao will only serve Emperor Tang and it is absolutely impossible for him to go out of the Imperial Palace.
But currently, Eunuch Zhao appeared at his door…
Thinking of this, Li Sheng felt nervous.
“His Royal Highness.”
Eunuch Zhao bowed slightly when he saw Li Sheng come out.
“Eunuch Zhao.”
Li Sheng responded immediately, his expression solemn.
“His Majesty the Emperor has ordered for you to live in the East Palace.” Eunuch Zhao slowly said.
“East Palace?”
Li Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and said, “I will pack up immediately and go to the East Palace with Eunuch Zhao.”
“No need.”
Eunuch Zhao shook his head slightly, and said: “His Royal Highness can just go to the East Palace now. As for things, the East Palace has everything that should be there.”
“But…”
Li Sheng hesitated, he glanced at Su Yueyun next to him, and tentatively asked: “Then I will go to the East Palace with Eunuch Zhao with Yunyun.”
“Yunyun?”
Eunuch Zhao glanced at Su Yueyun, shook his head and said: “Only the Crown Prince and Princess can stay in the East Palace. As for other people, they cannot enter. “
Although Su Yueyun is Li Sheng’s wife, she has not been officially conferred as the Crown Princess.
After all, even Li Sheng himself was only told today that he had become the Crown Prince. How can there be time to canonize Su Yueyun?
“You should go to the East Palace first, don’t worry about me.”
When Su Yueyun saw Li Sheng hesitate, she immediately whispered.
The one standing in front of them, is the purple clothed Eunuch Zhao. If Li Sheng’s hesitation provokes Eunuch Zhao’s dissatisfaction, it might just bring trouble.
“His Royal Highness, let’s go.”
Eunuch Zhao urged Li Sheng, and then looked at Su Yueyun.
With this glance, Eunuch Zhao caught a glimpse of a jade pendant that was hung around Su Yueyun’s waist.
The jade pendant is very common, but it is closely carried by Su Yueyun, it is obviously very important.
However, Eunuch Zhao seemed to have discovered something, his eyes focused on the jade pendant on Su Yueyun’s waist.
“This is?”
Eunuch Zhao’s heart pumped harder the more he scrutinized the pendant. His face even changed and his face was full of shock.
