Chapter 232 Becoming a Eunuch
After leaving the Imperial Garden, Ning Zhongyu walked towards the Qianqing Palace, ready to see what had happened to the fake emperor.

When approaching the Qianqing Palace, he met Concubine Tang Qingyi again. Looking at Concubine Tang, who seemed to have walked out of a painting of Jiangnan ladies, Ning Zhongyu felt refreshed.

Looking at the many concubines in the harem, even in Baiyujing, he had never seen a woman as stunning as Gu Yun. He was also shocked when he first saw her.

Unfortunately, I still cannot touch it at all, and can only wait until the Cang Yang Technique is perfected.

But what happened to Concubine Tang's neck? There seemed to be a red mark there, which looked a bit similar to the red mark on Concubine Rou's instep. Could it be that Concubine Tang also practiced some magic skills?

Ning Zhongyu felt a little strange and wanted to come out and ask, but when he thought about his current situation, he decided not to do so.

Anyway, it won't be long before I can come out of seclusion. If I practice hard for a few more years, maybe I will be able to perfect the Cang Yang Technique. Then I can do whatever I want and there is no need to rush.

Ning Zhongyu glanced at the strange smile on Concubine Tang's lips. Why did she give him such a satisfied feeling? Was it because she had eaten some imported delicacies that made her feel satisfied, or was there some other reason?

Ning Zhongyu shook his head. This kind of smile was somewhat inconsistent with Concubine Tang's classical temperament.

After Concubine Tang walked away, Ning Zhongyu still felt that something was wrong. What on earth were those red marks? He would definitely ask about it when he had the chance later.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Ning Zhongyu saw Lu Changjing sitting in front of the dragon desk reading memorials through the window.

Lu Changjing did not discover Ning Zhongyu. This real emperor was too good at hiding himself, and he had not practiced any special detection techniques, so it was normal that he did not discover him.

Seeing the fake emperor reading memorials, Ning Zhongyu nodded. He was quite diligent today, probably trying to understand the court's movements. There was no sense of martial arts practice from him, so he seemed to be just an ordinary person.

His lips were a little swollen, probably from the verbal battles with the concubines, and he looked a little listless.

But think about it, it is normal for a person to have such a situation when he has to engage in verbal battles with so many concubines. When I come out of seclusion later, I can reward him well.

You can stay in Baiyujing for the time being and let him replace you when needed.

Although I also wondered whether this fake emperor might have something going on with the concubines, and whether I should castrate him.

But if he were castrated, the change would be too great, and it would be difficult to hide it even if he tried to cover it up. Moreover, with that thing missing from his pants, it would inevitably be discovered by the court officials and concubines with keen insight.

You can't tie something in the pants of this fake emperor, as that would seem to make it easier to discover, so just destroy his cultivation and make him unable to practice again in the future.

Even so, problems could easily arise. If it were discovered that the emperor had no cultivation and his foundation was destroyed, things would definitely get out of hand.

But this is all he can do. He cannot afford to raise a tiger to cause harm. In fact, in Ning Zhongyu's opinion, a kid from a small family with at most mediocre talent and qualifications, even if he has all the resources and treasures in the palace, how far can he improve?

Cao Wen Zheng was still too cautious. He was too contemptuous of them if he insisted on destroying their strength and foundation.

Fortunately, it was not exposed, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.

Without any cultivation, he cannot practice, and Cao Wen Zheng is watching him. The people guarding the imperial study outside are also Cao Wen Zheng's men. Naturally, there is no need to worry about this fake emperor causing any trouble.

He also specifically reminded that if any concubine went to see him, he must be careful to avoid being taken advantage of by the fake emperor.

Under such circumstances, Ning Zhongyu felt relieved.

Looking at the somewhat sleepy fake emperor, Ning Zhongyu couldn't help but shook his head. He was really not worthy of being on the stage. However, how could one expect an ordinary person with a destroyed foundation to be so powerful? So forget it. Anyway, he was not the one who could solve all the affairs of the court. He just had to be a good puppet.

After leaving the imperial study, Ning Zhongyu looked around other places and found that everything was fine and there was no mess.

After leaving the palace and taking a look around, he found that Baiyujing was also pretty good. He heard some people talking about it, and they all said that the court and the country were now stable, and the border was peaceful. Some people even said that he was a wise ruler, which surprised Ning Zhongyu.

Although he was an emperor, he had some self-awareness, and the word "wise and wise" did not seem to fit him.

Forget it, I guess it’s just the people trying to flatter me again, just ignore it.

I heard about the emergency on the border before. It has probably been dealt with, and it is possible that the national policy of peace talks was adopted. No wonder the resources and treasures sent to me have become less and less in the past two years. Maybe they have all been used for this.

Since the government and the people are stable and there is nothing happening in the palace, we can break through with peace of mind.

Ning Zhongyu smiled slightly, returned to the Yangxing Palace, and prepared to reach the realm of mastery of the Cangyang Technique.

In the past three years, apart from practicing the Cang Yang Technique, he has not fallen behind in other aspects. His Qi training has reached the perfection of the sixth-level grandmaster, and he is about to break through to the seventh-level grandmaster realm.

The body and spirit cultivation levels have also improved, but they are still far behind the qi cultivation levels.

After adjusting his spirit, energy and mind perfectly, Ning Zhongyu began his attack. Everything went quite smoothly at the beginning.

Just as he was about to break free from the shackles, Ning Zhongyu's mind inexplicably emerged with the red marks on Song Yuyan's instep and the red mark on Tang Qingyi's neck.

As the Yang energy in the body grew stronger, the red marks began to pulse more violently, although no one knew where the red marks came from.

But when this strange red mark fell on Song Yuyan and Tang Qingyi, it always gave people a feeling of restlessness.

If he could perfect the Cang Yang Technique in the future, he would also want to find a way to leave a red mark, which would seem to have a special flavor.

Thinking of this, Ning Zhongyu was shocked all over, and in a trance he thought, these red marks could not have been left by someone else, could it be another man.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

As soon as he thought of this, he felt the pure yang energy in his body becoming restless. Ning Zhongyu cried out, "Oh no!" He was just disturbed by messy thoughts, or rather, he was disturbed by the heat brought by the pure yang energy.

It was just like the previous time I hit the bottleneck, but this time it was even more severe.

He tried hard to control the restless pure yang energy, but it was too late.

"Crack..."

Along with the strange noise coming from his pants, Ning Zhongyu felt like crying but had no tears. His brother, who had already been injured, was completely finished this time.

Originally, as long as the breakthrough was successful, it should have been able to be repaired. How come it suddenly became like this?

If he had known this, he should not have gone out before breaking through the barrier. It was originally an action for peace of mind, but he didn't expect it to become a delusion.
