Chapter 237: Imperial Capital
A month later, Wang Zhengyang passed away.
His departure did not cause any trouble, and not many people cared about it. After all, people would die every day, and no one would be surprised. Only those who were familiar with him went to see him off for the last journey.
Zhuo Yunxian sat in front of Wang Zhengyang's tombstone for three days and three nights. All kinds of complex emotions surged into his heart, and another person around him left!
At the beginning of the immortal path, what is immortality?
This is a question in the Valley of Changsheng. Zhuo Yunxian could not answer at the time, but now he has an answer.
Because all living things are instinct to live, and life is so fragile, we will try our best to make ourselves live longer.
The way of immortality is the way of health preservation and the way of immortality.
However, Zhuo Yunxian still had a lot of confusion in his heart and couldn't figure it out.

The imperial capital is unpredictable.
With the rise of the ninth prince, the other princes fell silent, especially the news that the third prince was deposed was shocking, causing the entire emperor to fall into a strange atmosphere.
No matter how ups and downs outside, Zhuo Yunxian is still immersed in the world of the Five Arts of Immortality.
He was like a sponge, constantly absorbing and precipitating, following several old men, carefully studying the foundation of the Five Arts of Immortality, and even occasionally went to the Tai Illusion Realm to challenge the trial place to prove what he had learned.
Zhuo Yunxian's inadvertent actions once again caused a sensation in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
The ranking of the medium-sized trial place has been constantly refreshed, and Zhuo Yunxian's name actually appeared on several crystal monuments. Although it is not at the top, it has entered the top ten and is constantly improving every day, and some are even ranked in the top three.
Such progress is of course incredible.
...
Another month later, Zhuo Yunxian said goodbye to Wen Ning, Lan Xia and several old gentlemen quietly left Tianshu Xian Taoist Courtyard and returned to the Xue family's mansion.
"Brother Baihe, you will finally come."
When Mrs. Qin saw Zhuo Yunxian return, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, during the period when Zhuo Yunxian was away, Mrs. Qin always felt a little uneasy, especially after the third prince had an accident, many things were beyond her expectations, making him feel unconfident.
“How is the situation recently?”
When Zhuo Yunxian saw that Mrs. Qin's expression was different, she knew that the situation had changed. However, when studying to nourish his energy, he was very calm and did not have any anxiety.
"You really turn a blind eye to the outside world. The recent form is not quite the same as we expected."
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said with a wry smile: "About a month ago, news came out of the palace that the third prince was deposed and the eldest prince returned to his post. Once he gained power, even the ninth prince was suppressed a lot."
"Wait... Didn't the eldest prince lose all his cultivation and retire to the deep palace? How did the third prince be deposed?! I asked you to stare at the third prince before, but what did you find?"
Zhuo Yunxian felt that the amount of information was a bit large. It seemed that he had missed many things during his days in seclusion.
Zhuo Yunxian probably knew about the news about the eldest prince, but compared to the eldest prince's comeback, he is now more concerned about the situation of the third prince.
Mrs. Qin replied one by one: "It is said that the eldest prince has not been hiding in the deep palace for many years, but was secretly arranged by the queen to go to the Immortal Doctor Valley to treat his injuries. Now that she has recovered, she has returned to the court. As for the third prince..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Qin showed a complicated look: "Previously, I stared at the third prince as you told me, and I did find that he had contact with a mysterious force. However, before I could find out the situation, the third prince was taken away by the queen and was deposed soon... The charge was for colluding with evil monks, selling young children, and being ruthless. Moreover, this time it was a human stolen person. Even the evil monk admitted that he would not allow the third prince to deny it."
"Collecting evil monks and selling young children... is indeed exactly the same as the Everlasting Hate Gang."
This result was similar to Zhuo Yunxian's previous guess, so he was not surprised. But he didn't understand why the third prince's cautious personality was caught by the queen and would never have a day to turn over.
If the third prince was not betrayed, then all this should be the plan of the queen.
After hearing Zhuo Yunxian's analysis, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but be shocked: "Can the queen be the boss behind the scenes?"
If this is the case, the consequences will be unimaginable!
After a moment of silence, Zhuo Yunxian waved his hand and said, "No, the queen of the sky should not be the big boss. With her current status and status, there is no need to use shameful means, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would have been in chaos and Senior Mo would not tolerate him. Moreover, the queen of the sky has been planning for many years, just to make the eldest prince take power, so how could she leave stains on herself and verbal words for others."
After a pause, Zhuo Yunxian continued: "If I guess correctly, the queen of the world should be using the strength of the big boss to eliminate dissidents. But... the queen of the world may not be the big boss, but she must have some connection with the big boss."
The current imperial capital is like a muddy water, and the development of things is becoming more and more complicated.
“By the way…”
Mrs. Qin suddenly thought of something and quickly told me: "A few days ago, I investigated the Third Prince and found that among the forces he was in contact with, there were many people using Xiaoyao San, and there were many sources of goods. Unfortunately, after the third prince had an accident, all the clues were cut off."
"It seems that some people's hands have reached the imperial capital."
Zhuo Yunxian re-examined his thoughts and deduced all kinds of possibilities in his mind.
Mrs. Qin said worriedly: "Brother, then how should we arrange it next?"
In fact, Mrs. Qin is not without opinion, but when it comes to the dispute over the throne, she really doesn't have much confidence.
Zhuo Yunxian thought for a while: "Don't worry. Although the situation is a bit chaotic now, it does not have much impact on us. I'm afraid that the one who should be anxious now is Prince Zuo and the others."
Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "Young man is right, these days, Prince Zuo and the Queen of Heaven are fighting each other and are so busy that they are overwhelmed."
"What we need to do now is to clarify the relationship between the forces in the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty and see which enemies are enemies and which friends are."
After hearing what Zhuo Yunxian said, Mrs. Qin suddenly realized: "At present, there are probably three forces in the imperial capital, one is us and the ninth prince, the other is the queen and the eldest prince, and the old fox, Prince Zuo."
Sometimes, the enemy of the enemy may not be friends, especially when it comes to disputes of interests.
Zhuo Yunxian said undeniably: "This is just on the surface, but in fact there are many hidden forces. For example, the Upstairs and the Blood-Clothing Tower. Although they never interfere in the struggle between forces, they have extremely strong influence. Especially the Blood-Clothing Tower, which is an extremely unstable factor for any force."
"There is also the third prince and his big boss behind it... Even though the third prince collapsed, he has been in charge for many years and must have kept a backup plan."
"There are also Tianshu Immortal Court and the Lord of the Kingdom, their attitude is very important, and the four major immortal sects and the Pilgrimage Mountain must also be paying attention to the dispute over the Tang Dynasty's crown prince."
Listening to Zhuo Yunxian's analysis and deduction, Mrs. Qin secretly admired her. No wonder the other party achieved such success at a young age, and there was no luck in success.
Of course, in the end, Zhuo Yunxian still stated that power struggle is just a small path, and only by his own strength can he truly stand invincible.
