That night, many people stayed up all night, especially in the palace. From the emperor and queen mother to the maids and eunuchs, everyone was cleaning up the mess.
In the battle between two people, thousands of people suffered in the end. It must be said that the destructive power of the Grand Master was really terrifying.
According to statistics, in this battle, a total of more than ten palaces and countless buildings were destroyed in the palace, including some maids and eunuchs who were affected. This was despite preparations. If it had not been arranged in advance, it would have been
Not injured, but numerous casualties.
After reading these statistical data, Zhan Doudou felt that his forehead was swollen. If he had to repair it again, it would definitely not be possible without millions of taels of silver.
But thinking about what Zhou Chen gave her, she felt at ease again. What was destroyed could be repaired. What Zhou Chen gave her was a steady stream of wealth. Judging from the gold and silver alone, it was obvious that she had made a lot of money.
There was too much noise last night, and she didn't know how much impact it would have on the royal family in the future, but she had calculated that even if it caused waves, it should be controllable.
Ku He had returned to his secluded place. After Haitang Duoduo confirmed that Ku He was only injured and not in danger, he returned to the palace and explained the situation to Zhan Doudou.
The sky was dark and Zhan Doudou, who had not slept all night, walked outside the hall and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, with the horrific battle last night still echoing in his mind.
This was the first time she had truly seen the battle between the great masters, and she felt that her evaluation of "the world is sacred" was definitely not an exaggeration.
Thinking that Zhou Chen was from Qing, she couldn't help clenching her fists with a complicated expression.
Nanqing originally had two great masters, and now there is a younger Zhou Chen. Why can Nanqing have three great masters, while Daqi, which has always been an orthodox place, only has one great master?
.
Originally there were four great masters in the world, two in Nanqing, one in Northern Qi, and one in Dongyi City. Although it was not stated explicitly, the two great masters in Northern Qi and Dongyi City had obviously reached a tacit understanding to fight together.
The gradual rise of Nanqing.
But now there is another Grand Master, the Grand Master of Nanqing. The balance that was finally maintained was suddenly broken.
Three great masters, against two great masters, the result is obvious. As the emperor of Da Qi, how could she not be worried.
"We must win over Zhou Chen. Even if we cannot bring him to Da Qi, we must not let him stand on the opposite side of Da Qi."
Thinking of this, she became more determined, and couldn't help but think of her imperial sister. Zhou Chen was obviously different from her, and this was an opportunity.
There was a sound of slight footsteps, and Haitang Duoduo walked up to Zhan Doudou.
Their relationship is not only that of monarch and minister, but also that of junior aunt and nephew. They are also good friends who grew up together, and their relationship is extremely close.
"How is the emperor's uncle?"
"I'm a little injured, but it's nothing serious. Master asked me to say something, saying that this young man is very powerful and it's best not to be an enemy of him."
Haitang Duoduo conveyed her master's words, and Zhan Doudou was not surprised.
"Even the emperor's uncle thinks so."
"Little sister-in-law, do you think we can bring him to our side in Daqi? He is also a count in Nanqing."
Haitang Duoduo said: "I really don't understand this kind of thing. It's just that it's not that easy to win over a great master."
"Of course I know that he is not yet twenty. With the ability of the Grand Master, I am afraid he can live for more than a hundred years. If he can serve Da Qi, he can definitely protect Da Qi for a hundred years."
Zhan Doudou's eyes sparkled. In her opinion, Zhou Chen was simply a huge treasure that she wished she could hold in her arms forever.
"He is in the imperial sister's bedroom now."
"He treats the princess really differently, maybe it's just as you think."
"So, you also think that my method is effective? But I'm worried that the imperial sister may not be able to restrain him alone. Otherwise, little senior sister, you will sacrifice for Da Qi. After all, you are the grand master, so it is not a disadvantage. The princess and the saint
Together with a woman, even if he is a great master, he will definitely be able to win."
Zhan Doudou proposed to Haitang Duoduo with a smile, but Haitang Duoduo just rolled her eyes.
"I don't have that intention. So what if I'm a grand master? My goal is also to become a grand master. I just have martial arts skills. I don't want any man."
Zhan Doudou laughed, she just teased Zhan Pianpian, that's all. She is the royal family of Daqi, so she is definitely willing to sacrifice for Daqi. Maybe it is not a sacrifice for her, maybe she is very willing.
.
But Haitang Duoduo is different. She is a saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty, a disciple of the great master Ku He, and is also her elder in name. Such a person with her own opinion will naturally not be influenced by others.
"Let's go to Sister Huang's place to meet him later?"
Zhou Chen opened his eyes and saw Zhan Pianpian sitting not far away, holding a lamp in his arms and dozing off little by little.
A smile appeared on his face. After a night of healing, he had almost recovered.
She stood up slowly and walked softly to Zhan Pianpian. As soon as she touched her body, she shuddered and reflexively waved the lamp.
Zhou Chen grabbed him and asked with a smile: "What, do you want to beat me to death?"
Zhan Pianpian was overjoyed when he saw it was Zhou Chen.
"I'm sorry, I, I fell asleep, are you okay?"
Zhou Chen put the lamp aside and said softly: "It's healed now. Thank you. If it weren't for you watching over me, I wouldn't be able to heal my wounds with peace of mind."
Zhan Pianpian looked embarrassed: "I didn't do anything and I fell asleep."
"I see you are very tired, go and take a rest."
"Are you leaving?" Zhan Pianpian asked eagerly.
Zhou Chen said: "I just left the palace. You are a princess who has not left the palace. I can't stay here forever."
Zhan Pianpian pursed her lips. She wanted Zhou Chen to stay with her, but she also understood that this was unrealistic. This was the palace, she was the princess, and Zhou Chen was the grand master, but it was impossible to accompany her as a princess all the time.
, he also has his own things to do.
"But if you leave the palace, I won't be able to see you."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Then let me give you an idea. Mr. Zhuang is a great figure in the literary world. You can use the reason of studying to worship Mr. Zhuang as your teacher and go to Mr. Zhuang's residence to study. I want you, the queen mother and the little emperor, to
There should be no objection."
"Is it really possible?" Zhan Pianpian was very moved, but a little unsure.
"It's really possible."
Zhou Chen gave an affirmative answer. He knew that the Queen Mother of Northern Qi and the young emperor were both smart people. Maybe they might have made arrangements to fight Zhan Pianpian in the past, but after he took Zhan Pianpian out of the palace, they would definitely
change one's mind.
Unless they really want to break up with him, such a person in power will never do such a stupid thing. For those in power, interests always come first.
"I think your Queen Mother will come to you soon. When you propose this, she will agree."
Zhan Pianpian almost didn't think about it and said immediately: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After playing outside with Zhou Chen for half a month, she didn't face any difficulties or pressure when she came back. She already had blind admiration for Zhou Chen. Since Zhou Chen said it was okay, then it must be okay.
"Your eyes are red, please take a rest first."
Zhan Pianpian was indeed very tired. In fact, she hadn't had a good sleep for several days. She had been worried all day yesterday, which consumed a lot of energy and she really couldn't bear it anymore.
But before she could get up, Zhou Chen picked up the princess and scared her so much that she screamed.
"what are you doing?"
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, he just carried her to the bed, helped her take off her shoes, and then covered her with the quilt.
"Go to sleep and have a good sleep."
His words seemed to have a hypnotic effect. Zhan Pianpian, whose cheeks were red, covered her face with the quilt and fell asleep unknowingly.
??????55.??????
Zhou Chen helped her adjust the quilt again before walking out of the dormitory.
There were several palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the palace. When they saw Zhou Chen coming out, they all bowed naturally without screaming or anything, as if they were not surprised by Zhou Chen's appearance.
Zhou Chen was not surprised either. He stayed here all night. The Empress Dowager and the young emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty must have known it well, and the maids and eunuchs sent there must also be confidants.
Walking out of the palace, Zhou Chen saw the various palaces that were ruined due to the battle last night. It is unlikely that they will be restored in a few months.
After standing for a short while, a eunuch came over and respectfully conveyed a message.
"Sir, His Majesty ordered to summon you..."
Zhou Chen adjusted his collar and said calmly: "Let's go."
When they saw Zhan Doudou, she was having breakfast, while Haitang Duoduo stood aside and didn't stop talking.
The two of them had different expressions when they saw Zhou Chen approaching. Haitang Duoduo was more surprised.
