Chapter 216 - 216 The Empress's Gentleness

216 The Empress’s Gentleness

He Chuan was uninterested. After Lia advanced, he suggested they return to the relay station first.

Cai Lian also left with him.

...

Lia stayed behind to continue watching the competition. She did not want to miss such a grand event.

She could learn something from every match, so He Chuan didn’t force it. If she wanted to watch, she could just stay. He just happened to be taking Cai Lian back to the Palace.

He Chuan did not disturb Empress Changning. Instead, he returned to the Library Pavilion.

He lay on the rocking chair in the front yard and flipped through the “Anecdotes of Qizhou” again, wanting to see if he could find anything new in the allusions to gods and demons.

Cai Lian quietly cleaned the Library Pavilion. She didn’t use any martial arts, but rather she cleaned it with all her heart. This allowed her to become calm.

She didn’t know if it was because she had been with He Chuan for too long, but she now liked the quiet.

Reading and cleaning could make one’s heart calmer.

“Young Master, why do you think people have desires?” Cai Lian asked in confusion.

Desire is innate. For example, if you want to live a peaceful life now, you can’t escape the scope of desire. He Chuan shook his head. He also had desires.

For example, he wanted to obtain better things in his reincarnation.

He wanted to reach the peak of humanity.

It was all the desire that drove him to act.

No one could avoid it.

Desire was a part of human nature. It was something that humans were born with.

It was a form of release of instinct, forming the most internal and basic basis and necessary conditions of human behavior. Driven by desire, humans constantly occupied objective objects, thus forming a certain relationship with the natural environment and society.

Through the more or less satisfaction of desire, man, as the subject, grasped the object and the environment, and achieved the same unity with the object and the environment.

In this sense, desire was the fundamental driving force for people to change the world and themselves.

It was also the driving force behind human evolution, social development, and historical progress!

If humans lost their desires, they would probably still live in the stone age.

Desire was not a derogatory term.

The key was how to control his inner desires.

If it was used on the evil path, then this desire was destined to be spurned.

If desires were transformed and developed, it would benefit the evolution of the entire human race.

“Oh!” Cai Lian scratched her little head, not fully understanding.

Because He Chuan’s explanation was a little profound, she found it difficult to understand.

Previously, she had thought that she had become desireless. She didn’t expect that liking good food and wanting to live a quiet life were all inner desires.

“Duke He, Her Majesty has arrived!” A young eunuch ran over and said respectfully.

The person in front of him was a legend in the Palace.

It was said that he used to be a little eunuch in the Library Pavilion, but now he had become the Empress’s pillow.

He was the role model for all the eunuchs in the Palace.

However, they probably couldn’t do it because He Chuan had no intention of letting a eunuch break through. If that happened, the entire Palace would be in chaos.

It was better to let the palace maids and Imperial Guards cultivate in the direction of saint cultivators.

If there was an exception, and the eunuch suddenly broke through to the saint cultivator level, he would be arranged to work outside, even if there were no more concubines in the harem.

However, these Palace maids were still around, and they would still be handed over to the boy in the future.

This had been the rule of the Central Plains for thousands of years, and a case like Changning was a rare example.

He Chuan nodded to show that he understood.

Cai Lian quickly packed up and went to the door to welcome him.

Changning had only brought two personal handmaidens with him. She didn’t bring a bunch of people with her.

“Cai Lian, you don’t have to be so polite. There are no outsiders here!” Changning held Cai Lian’s small hand and walked to the side of the chair.

She had a good impression of this little palace maid. She was very kind and not scheming.

Moreover, she was clear about He Chuan’s situation. He wouldn’t have too many romantic feelings.

Otherwise, something else would have happened between them.

“You need to rest more when you’re free. Do you want to sleep here for a while?” He Chuan walked in front of Empress Changning. He placed his warm palm on his lower abdomen and transferred a stream of vital essence into it.

Empress Changning certainly knew how precious the vital essence of a saint cultivator was. He Chuan was also expressing his love for unborn children.

Humans were not plants and could not be emotionless. Although He Chuan did not have many feelings for Empress Changning, he was happy and hopeful for the child.

He hoped that the two children could grow up healthily.

Empress Changning had a blissful smile on her face. After all, she was also a woman. Of course, she hoped that at this time, her husband would be by her side and be able to share the joy of having children.

“Husband, can you come back when the child is born?” she caressed He Chuan’s handsome face.

The world was unpredictable. Who would have thought that a master and disciple would become husband and wife?

She also became the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

“Of course, I’ll be back.” He Chuan understood the importance of this moment.

Any woman would feel disappointed if the man she loved was not by her side.

Even as the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she still needed her lover to be by her side when she was giving birth.

“How was today’s battle?” Empress Changning asked. She hadn’t gone to the scene to watch, but from the frightening reports, she knew that it was very lively today.

Moreover, it was said that the Wudang Sect and the Shaolin Temple were hostile to each other. The two gangs were locked in a fierce battle, and many masters who had a chance of advancing were eliminated today.

If it weren’t for the fact that both sides were the top figures in the martial arts world, they would probably have fought each other today.

It was even possible for a personal battle to happen.

Nothing much. The saint cultivators didn’t fight today. They’re no different from children playing. He Chuan said, shaking his head.

On the first day, they were testing each other. The Wudang and Shaolin sects didn’t lack half-step saint cultivators, so they fought seriously.

The other clans or mountain villages had no interest in fighting, so he was not interested in them.

“I heard that you accepted a little disciple, the Sixth Princess of the Xiongnu tribe. Is she very beautiful?” Empress Changning suddenly thought of this and couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.

Although she knew that He Chuan would not have a relationship beyond friendship with her, she couldn’t help but think.

Perhaps pregnant women would let their thoughts run wild.

“That’s right, it’s the Sixth Princess, Lia. She’s your Junior Sister, and I plan to make her the female King of the Xiongnu. That way, the two of you are very similar.” He Chuan’s tone remained calm. He had no other thoughts about Lia.

He could understand Empress Changning’s wild thoughts, but there was no need to explain this kind of thing. It would only make things worse!

If he didn’t mention it, the other party might forget about it after a while.

“A female King? What are your thoughts, Husband?” Empress Changning quickly forgot what had just happened.

She knew that He Chuan must have his own reasons for doing this.

“Lia has no prejudice against the people of our country. If she can become the Empress, it will be good for both the Xiongnu and the Zhou Dynasty!” He Chuan didn’t hide his plan and explained it to Empress Changning in simple terms.
