Within the palace, the empress dowager was listening to a small tune as usual. She was talking with some of the concubines in the imperial harem when a commotion broke out outside. The empress dowager lightly waved her hand, causing the room to quiet down. The next moment, "The emperor has arrived." The sound.

"So it turns out that your son has come," the empress dowager waved her hand. "You can leave for now!"

"Yes, as you command." The court ladies who were singing and dancing all withdrew, leaving behind only the concubines of the imperial harem.

"Greetings to mother." After the Righteous Emperor entered the Palace of Tzu Ning, he bowed in greeting.

The other consorts, who were seated by the side, stood up as well and bowed towards the Righteous Emperor. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The empress dowager looked at the calm expression on the righteous emperor's face and frowned slightly. She raised her hand and said, "Your son, no need to be courteous. Come over and sit." You can all go down as well! "

"Yes, Majesty." The other consorts all bowed as well. Only then did they gracefully and gracefully leave the palace.

Emperor Zhengde stood up and sat on the other side of the empress dowager. Only then did the empress dowager ask with some doubt, "Isn't my son always paying respects in the morning?" The morning assembly had just ended, and he had come so early. Could it be that something happened? "

"Imperial Mother is truly wise. Your son has something that he needs Imperial Mother's help with." The Righteous Emperor chuckled.

"Oh!" What could make an emperor like you come to me for help? "Tell me about it." The empress dowager joked.

The Righteous Emperor said solemnly, "Your son has come this time to ask mother for something."

Seeing the emperor's stern expression, the empress dowager's face turned solemn as well. She was filled with doubts as she replied, "Oh! To be able to make your son burn with impatience to obtain something earlier, your mother is actually very curious, just what exactly is it? "

The Righteous Emperor said word by word, "What your son wants is the Heavenly Fragrance Nutmeg that my father bestowed to my mother."

"Heavenly Fragrance Nutmeg?" The empress dowager frowned as she looked doubtfully at the emperor. "Your son, why do you want this Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg?" "Although this Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg has the ability to revive the dead, I only have one pill in my hand. It can only freeze a person's life at the moment before they die and turn them into a living corpse. It doesn't really revive a person."

"Your child naturally understands this." Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "But your son wants this Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg because he made a deal with someone. Furthermore, the Queen Mother should also know that there are only two Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg left in the world right now. Even if the Queen Mother were to keep this one in her hands, it would still be useless. "

"A deal?" The empress dowager was a little doubtful. "You are a resourceful man, yet you still need to make a deal with someone?" And he was even using the world's most precious treasure, the Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg? Ever since the Tian Xiang Country was destroyed, the cultivation method for the Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg disappeared, and my imperial family only had three such treasures. Now, we only have two such treasures left, this is a priceless treasure! "How can you make a deal?

"Muhou." The Righteous Emperor said solemnly, "The Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg is indeed a rare treasure in this world. However, if I were to use it to exchange for several decades of peace, I think it would still be worth it."

"Dozens of years of peace in the Great Ming Dynasty?" The empress dowager was silent for a moment before sighing, "My son is right. Although this Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg is a treasure of this world, if it can be exchanged for several decades of peace in the Great Ming Dynasty, it would definitely be worth it. However, can you tell my mother about this matter in detail?"

"Of course." The Righteous Emperor said with a smile, "Imperial Mother should know that one of the three Heavenly Fragrance Nutmeg in the Imperial Family was in your hands, the other was in my hands, and the last one was in your uncle's hands. And the one in royal uncle's hand, I presume you should be clear that it was used by him to feed to Su Xin. "

"Three Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg pills can truly bring a person back to life, what does my son mean?" Her Majesty seemed to understand.

Emperor Zhengde's expression was a little indifferent as he said, "Royal Uncle's martial arts are number one in the world. He also controls the Dragon Mountain Villa, and his subordinates have the world's top intelligence. Right now, even though the Dragon Guardian Villa is being held back by Dong Gong, I don't think Cao Zheng Chun can do anything to royal uncle. Once Cao Zheng Chun is killed, the Dragon Guardian Villa will definitely grow stronger quickly and threaten my throne. "

"Your son is worried that the Divine Hou will rebel in the future?" The empress dowager naturally understood what the Righteous Emperor meant.

"Even if I don't rebel, I will definitely be overrun by him. At that time, what's the difference between an emperor like me and a puppet?" The Righteous Emperor said lightly.

"Then, does my son plan on using this Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg to coerce the god?" But will the Divine General really care about that pure heart? " The empress dowager hesitated.

The Righteous Emperor smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that, mother. I am not planning on blackmailing my royal uncle, who in the world can threaten him with his martial arts? I just saw that my uncle Huang was too old, that there were too many worries in the Dragon Guardian Villa, and that I had to save Miss Su Xin as soon as possible so that he could finish his life's regrets and live it up to its later years. In this way, everyone will naturally be overjoyed. "

"Your son is able to think like this, so I am relieved." The empress dowager heaved a sigh of relief. "My royal brother has been in charge of protecting Dragon Villa for more than twenty years. He has toiled all his life and solved too many problems for the imperial family.

"Wait a moment." "Your Majesty," the empress dowager said before walking into the inner hall. After some time, she came out with a sandalwood box in her hand. This is the Heavenly Fragrance Nutmeg that the late emperor bestowed to This Dowager. It's a pity that although it's a rare treasure, it's only effective on seriously injured and dying people.

Emperor Zhengde took the wooden box and placed it inside his sleeve before he smiled and said, "If it wasn't for that, why would I have asked my mother for this Heaven Fragrant Nutmeg?"

"I naturally know of the Emperor's filial piety. At the moment, national affairs are of utmost importance. My son should go as soon as possible! "After pacifying the Divine Marquis, I will no longer have any worries within my body. My son will be able to govern the country peacefully, and mother will be able to enjoy the latter years of my life in peace." Her Majesty could not help but sigh.

"Your son was unfilial. Your mother has put in a lot of effort in the past few years." The Righteous Emperor was ashamed. "However, things will be different in the future. Your son will pacify your uncle and Dongchang as soon as possible so that you will no longer have any worries. You can enjoy every day."

"En!" The empress dowager nodded her head in satisfaction and smiled. "Then go quickly!"

"Yes, your son will take his leave." After the Righteous Emperor bowed and saluted, he turned around and strode out of the palace.

After leaving the Palace, Eunuch Sun followed behind the Righteous Emperor and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are we returning to the Palace?"

The Righteous Emperor waved his hand and said, "We are not going to the Palace. We are going to Princess Yunluo's place."

"Princess Yunluo." Eunuch Sun was slightly surprised. In the past, the emperor had always had a headache because of this little sister. When he saw her, he would have been tempted to avoid her. Why would he want to meet Princess Yunluo today? Although he had some doubts in his heart, as a servant, he naturally would not ask. He hurriedly nodded his head and took over the role of the host.

"Princess! Princess! His Majesty is here!" Inside the princess' mansion, the little servant rushed into Princess Yunluo's room with a loud shout.

"What?" Your royal brother is here? " Princess Yunluo was baffled as she said, "Imperial Brother deals with court affairs all the time. In the past, when he saw me, he could not avoid me. Why would he come to my prefecture lord's mansion today? Could it be that royal brother has something to talk to me about? It just so happens that I have nothing better to do. Let's go, let's go meet your royal brother. "

Just as Yun Luo had walked out of her own courtyard, she heard the sound of 'Your Imperial Majesty's arrival'. She immediately saw the righteous emperor striding over with large strides.

"Royal brother!" Why are you free today to come to Yunluo's place? " Upon seeing the emperor, Yun Luo walked up to him and asked casually.

"Of course I'm looking for you because of something." The Righteous Emperor smiled and waved his hand. "You may all leave! I have something to say to the princess. "

After everyone had left, without waiting for the Righteous Emperor to speak, Yun Luo began to speak first, "Imperial brother, what is going on? You can say it now! "

The Righteous Emperor smiled and said, "Royal brother has come this time to ask you for something. However, this matter isn't serious. It's just that it's not suitable for people to reveal it."

"Oh!" Ask me for something? " Princess Yunluo pondered and said, "What I have here, there should be some in the Imperial Palace! What does royal brother want from me? "

"Mermaid Little Ming Zhu." Righteous and righteous, he said with a smile, "If you were to give me the little mermaid pearl, and if royal brother has a secret manual of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique in exchange, what do you think?"

"Jade Maiden Sword Technique? Are you talking about the Karakorum Sword League's Jade Lady Sword Art? " Princess Yun Luo was overjoyed, but very quickly, she revealed a mischievous smile, "Hehehe! Royal Brother, if you are willing to give me such a powerful martial art like the Jade Maiden Sword of the Karakorum, then the little pearl would be even more precious! "

The Righteous Emperor shook his head slightly and said, "Yunluo, this little mermaid pearl can't be considered precious. It's just that there's something hidden within it. This thing is related to the future stability of our Great Clarity River. That's why I'm exchanging it for your Jade Maiden Sword Art."

"This matter concerns the peace of my Great Clarity Mountain!" Yun Luo pouted, "I thought it was some kind of fun thing! Since royal brother wants it, I'll give it to you. "Xiaonu, hurry up and bring me the little mermaid pearl." Yun Luo shouted towards the distance.

"Yes." The little servant's voice came from afar, and after a short while, the little servant walked over and handed over a pearl.
