#362 - The Emperor was touched, and the Empress was thoughtful.

Chapter 362: The Emperor is Touched; the Heavenly Consort is Thoughtful

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Chongxu Dynasty.

A figure emerged from the closed-door bedroom, and the guard hurriedly knelt to salute: "Your Majesty!"

This person was none other than Sun Hong, the Emperor of the Chongxu Dynasty.

In just a few months, the Emperor's face had aged, with more white hair and a gloomy expression.

As the deadline approached, his aging accelerated, making him increasingly anxious.

If he couldn't break through, he would inevitably be devoured by the Heavenly Dao and fall into reincarnation, which no cultivator could avoid.

"Your Majesty!"

A figure floated from afar, bowing gracefully, it was Mu Yufei.

Seeing the Heavenly Consort, Sun Hong's expression softened slightly, and he asked: "Does Consort have something to discuss with me?"

At this critical moment, unless it was extremely important, he would never leave his seclusion. Sun Hong was racing against time, hoping to break through at the last moment and break the shackles of lifespan.

However, Mu Yufei was his favorite consort, and she said she had something extremely important to report, which made him make an exception.

Mu Yufei's face was full of joy as she娇声said: "Your Majesty, I have two great pieces of good news to tell you!"

Sun Hong raised his eyebrows. For him now, only breaking through was the most important thing, and nothing else mattered. He couldn't think of any other good news.

"Your Majesty, I didn't pay much attention before, but recently I noticed something unusual in my body. After careful investigation, I found that I... am pregnant!"

Mu Yufei said softly.

Sun Hong's body shook, revealing a look of surprise, and then he quickly scanned Mu Yufei's body with his divine sense. He then laughed loudly and said: "My years of cultivation have finally paid off. Consort, you are finally pregnant with my dragon seed, good, good, good!"

He didn't think too much about it. After all, it takes opportunity for cultivators to conceive, and the better the aptitude, the longer the gestation period. As the Emperor of a dynasty, he still had this confidence.

"Consort, you have really brought me a great surprise. Tell me, what is the other piece of good news?" Sun Hong asked with a smile.

Mu Yufei flipped her hand and presented a jade slip, smiling: "The Changqing Chamber of Commerce has now entered the Chongxu Dynasty and is preparing to hold a large auction, some of the items which should interest Your Majesty."

"Changqing Chamber of Commerce?"

Sun Hong frowned slightly: "Is that the business force that suddenly rose in the Linxian Dynasty?"

The name of the Changqing Alliance now resounded throughout Qingzhou, and he, the Emperor, had naturally heard of it.

He asked somewhat strangely: "How could your Mu family agree to the Changqing Alliance entering the Chongxu Dynasty? Aren't you afraid they will steal your family's business?"

For Sun Hong, as long as the imperial dynasty was under his control, it didn't matter who controlled the business within it. If he was unhappy, he could clear out these forces at any time.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful a small chamber of commerce was, it was just a civilian force. The imperial dynasty controlled hundreds of thousands of cultivators, so it wouldn't be difficult to deal with them.

Mu Yufei sighed softly: "This consort is also doing this for Your Majesty. You will understand when you look at this jade slip."

Sun Hong immediately became interested and immediately released his divine sense to scan the jade slip, then his pupils suddenly shrank, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his body shook violently!

"Seventh-order... Longevity Pill!"

He was not interested in other items. The only name that caught his attention was the seventh-order Longevity Pill!

If this pill was real, it meant that he could increase his lifespan by another hundred years. Although a hundred years was not long for a cultivator, even one year was precious to Sun Hong now.

Once he had this seventh-order Longevity Pill, his mentality would inevitably change, and he would not become so anxious. Maybe he really had a chance to break through his current realm!

This pill was of extraordinary significance to him.

He also immediately understood the meaning of Mu Yufei's words, and a feeling of being touched arose in his heart.

"So Consort agreed to the Changqing Alliance to enter the Chongxu Dynasty because of this Longevity Pill. You... are thoughtful!"

Sun Hong's eyes were full of emotion.

Consort was really thinking about him, even sacrificing the interests of her family to obtain this pill for him!

Sun Hong was greatly pleased and said solemnly: "Consort, you have suffered so much over the years. If this child is a boy and has good aptitude, I promise to push him to become the Crown Prince despite all opposition!"

Although this was not in accordance with the rules, Sun Hong favored Mu Yufei the most among the three thousand beauties in the harem.

Over the years, Sun Hong often went into seclusion, and he had indeed neglected this beloved consort. He felt a little guilty and wanted to make up for it, while also compensating the Mu family.

As the Emperor, he also deeply understood that the stronger the power behind a concubine, the more stable her position in the harem.

As for the Empress, Sun Hong did not like her, and the children she bore were mediocre in aptitude, and the power behind her was now inferior to that of the Mu family.

Moreover, Sun Hong's lifespan was approaching, and his temper was becoming more and more strange and violent. Not many people were willing to offend him at this time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A look of joy flashed in Mu Yufei's eyes. Her efforts had finally paid off. This was what she wanted!

Qin Changqing, this man, was really her lucky star!

Sun Hong was still a little worried about this, fearing that the Changqing Alliance was deliberately releasing a guise in order to make a name for themselves.

"Junhao has already seen this pill with his own eyes, it is absolutely true!" Mu Yufei nodded heavily.

Sun Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression of this period of time was swept away, laughing loudly: "Good, good, good, I am determined to get this pill, come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures flashed from afar and bowed: "Your Majesty!"

Sun Hong turned his head and threw the jade slip to the leader, saying: "Pay close attention to the opening time of this Changqing auction, and notify me immediately when it is near!"

The leader took the jade slip and immediately showed a look of shock after a brief inspection.

No wonder His Majesty was so excited, it turned out that the seventh-order Longevity Pill had been born!

"Does Your Majesty plan to go in person?"

The leader asked.

Sun Hong nodded: "Of course, I am determined to get this seventh-order Longevity Pill. You all prepare well, whoever dares to compete with me..."

His eyes narrowed slightly, bursting out with amazing coldness, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Yes!"

Several people hurriedly bowed and replied.

In fact, Sun Hong was also a little depressed. Since he had already seen this Longevity Pill, why not just snatch it directly and go to the trouble of participating in the auction.

However, he also understood that the Mu family was in the business of doing business, paying attention to a reputation, and some things were not good to do too much. People were also doing it for his own good, and it would be too critical to be too picky.
