The heroine is so cute, she quickly puts on her clothes and lies down

For Zhu Yue now, becoming a god is just a fantasy and a beautiful wish. She knows that it is too far away for her, so she should focus on the present and deal with the present matter.

As long as she keeps getting stronger, it doesn't matter if she can't become a god.

------

Zhu Yue rode hard all the way back to Beijing nine months later. This time she did not stop to help others. She was much faster than when she left.

When he returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion in Beijing, the Imperial Preceptor was still on duty in the palace and had not returned yet.

There is a very tall pavilion in the palace, called the Stargazing Tower. The imperial teacher usually goes there when he enters the palace to observe the weather and the stars.

Zhu Yue first returned to his own courtyard in the Imperial Master's Mansion, took a bath, changed into a Taoist robe, and lazily went into the Imperial Master's study to wait.

The Imperial Master came back quickly, received the news about her from Ling Xiao in the palace, and then quickly left the palace.

When he saw the woman on the wide chair, he was startled at first, but soon burst into laughter.

Zhu Yue let him laugh enough before throwing the book she was reading aside.

"That's about enough."

Is there anything surprising about her women's clothing?

Even if it was the first time I saw him, there shouldn't be such an exaggerated reaction.

Moreover, Zhu Yue didn’t really understand what the Imperial Master was laughing at.

The Imperial Master finally stopped smiling happily. He looked at Zhu Yue meaningfully and said, "Chunzhi, seeing your current state, I know that you have reached that unknown realm. However, the situation in the capital is much more complicated than it was then."

When the Imperial Master saw his disciple Chen Chunzhi for the first time in the study, he was mesmerized by the stunning beauty for a moment. Even with his level of concentration, he was mesmerized by this, let alone ordinary people in the world.

However, in the eyes of the national teacher, the capital is the place with the largest number of vulgar people, and they have the most filthy desires.

"I don't understand, Master, I hope you can tell me straight."

Zhu Yue knew that the Xuanyuan royal family was in chaos and would do anything to fight for power. Before she left the capital, she tried to win over countless princes and princesses just to become the imperial teacher.

The identity of the imperial teacher was extremely important, so important that if it was held by anyone other than the emperor's descendants, no one else in the royal family would be able to sleep peacefully.

Zhu Yue also knew that the Imperial Master had never participated in the change of dynasty emperors. Her attitude had always been consistent with that of the Imperial Master. She did not accept any solicitation and did not become anyone's follower. That was why she did not receive any threats or resistance after she left the capital.

The Imperial Master did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a piece of yellow paper, used an inkstone to grind ink, and after arranging everything, he raised his hand and wrote a word.

"emperor."

Zhu Yue suddenly realized and asked, "Is the old emperor in poor health?"

No wonder the Imperial Master insisted that she come back. It was indeed time for her to come back.

The current emperor in the court is seriously ill, and this has made the fighting among the princes more obvious and fierce.

The Imperial Master is almost unable to keep the situation stable.

"Among the three princes, who do you think is the best?"

Zhu Yue asked the imperial teacher this. The current emperor has seven sons and five daughters, which is considered a large number of offspring. However, apart from the young ones and those who have failed, the only ones who can compete are three princes.

The eldest prince Xuanyuan Min, the second prince Xuanyuan Song, and the fifth prince Xuanyuan Rong.

Among them, the eldest prince is the most popular one now. He has a biological mother who is respected as the Imperial Noble Consort, and his in-laws are military generals stationed at the border.

The second prince was born weak, and he wore thick clothes all year round, but he still looked pale and did not look like he would live a long life. He was also the only one of the three princes without any children. He had sons born to him, but perhaps because of their father, they all died early.

But because he is the only legitimate son among the seven princes, he will naturally be supported by many forces, and he has no choice but to fight for this identity. No matter which prince succeeds in ascending the throne in the end, he will not let go of such a brother with a special status.

The fifth prince is the type who plays the pig and eats the tiger. He kept a low profile in the early stages of the competition and was ignored by his brothers and sisters all the way. However, as his other brothers fell one by one, he kept on developing. Although he is currently the weakest among the three princes.

But Zhu Yue, the King Gou, might really be the final winner. She has read so much history, and this fifth prince seems to be a son of destiny who is born with good luck.

But she thought it was artificial luck.

It all depends on whether the eldest prince and the second prince will give him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The imperial teacher also thought about which prince would be the next emperor.

After watching three princes become emperors over the years, they all had their own strengths and weaknesses, and were of similar quality to the current old emperor, without the appearance of being a wise and enlightened ruler.

He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who it is. Let's end it early so that fewer irrelevant people die during the succession of the throne."

His presence in the capital now is like a needle that stabilizes the sea, giving many people who are not prepared to bet on the merit of following the emperor room to remain neutral.

After he steps down, Zhu Yue will take over this role.

Zhu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, a look of boredom flashing across her eyes.

"All the emperors are of this kind. Aren't there any who are a little better?"

No matter what the personalities of the three princes are, they all have one thing in common: they do not take human lives seriously. If even the subordinates who work for them are like this, how can they expect them to be compassionate to the people after becoming emperors?

But it doesn’t matter. There must always be a body sitting on the throne, and the dynasty has been managed by scholars and officials since ancient times.

It was only during the first few years of the new nation's founding that these officials and literati would truly follow the king's orders as if they were imperial decrees. Once the order was passed down through a generation and was not in the hands of the founding monarch, the literati would be like adults coaxing children, only showing the person on the throne what they wanted him to see. Any decision and development would bear the marks of their involvement and control.

The system itself is corrupt, and now it’s just a matter of time before it collapses.

However, the dynasty that was established again was nothing more than the same dynasty with a different name but the same substance, and the best outcome would be destruction.

"The fourth princess is a remarkable person, but unfortunately she is a woman."

The image of the fourth princess mentioned by the national teacher flashed through Zhu Yue's mind.

Ah, it was the girl in blue who appeared that night when she took away the princess who had confessed her love to her.

"The Fourth Princess and the Second Prince are born from the same mother?"

There are some similarities between the two.

The Imperial Master nodded, grabbed the written paper, and threw it into the fire.

Asked him something he was curious about.

"What is the difference between the realm after this and now?"

Zhu Yue closed his eyes and felt the barrier in his body. He sighed slightly and said regretfully: "I can't answer it now. There are still some barriers preventing me from breaking through."

"But Master, the closer I get to this realm, the more I feel that my connection with this world is deepening."

The national teacher smiled with relief.

"Your feeling is correct. Energy is a gift from this world. My ancestor told me before he passed away that this state is the true unity of knowledge and action, and one can communicate with the heavens."

Zhu Yue opened her eyes, somewhat unbelieving.

"Are there really gods in this world?"

The Imperial Master looked at her helplessly.

"Chunzhi, stop saying such things. This is disrespectful. You can disrespect the royal family, but you cannot disrespect the gods who gave you power."
