The story of the Three-legged Emperor was not something that happened during the Spring and Autumn War, but rather, of the many sons of the Great Phoenix Dynasty's emperor, only three were the most outstanding. They had the strength to fight against each other. This was indeed the case at that time.

The first was the crown prince, the Prince Bi at that time, and the current Prince Bi. He was a prince that the Emperor doted upon. It was said that he was extremely beautiful, and his personality was naturally carefree. He could be said to be the most outstanding prince amongst all the princes. Furthermore, her mother was born into an extremely prestigious family, and was the emperor's rightful queen. Zhuang Li guessed that it was because of her beauty that he gave birth to a son like the Prince Bi. With his own characteristics and his mother's care, the Prince Bi naturally went with the flow. He stood out from the other princes.

The second was the ninth prince, Wang Yi. Legend has it that his mother, a child of an official family, knew how to deceive people in the government since she was young, and that business and government were not separated. The emperor met her when he was on a tour of the south and thought that she was smart and lively, so he brought her back to the palace. The Ninth Prince grew up to be the leader of a group of corrupt officials. He had a lot of money. But no one cared about him either. Anything that could make money, he was willing to step in. including the food for the disaster, and the pay of the soldiers in front...

His followers were just as cunning and mercenary as he was. For example, Prime Minister Zhao …

The third was Sixth Prince Wang Su …

There were not many rumors about him, especially about his family. Hardly any rumors had been heard. It's just that the Sixth Prince had been muddling along in the army camp all year round, and there were a group of soldiers following behind him. After he gradually grew up, he raised a group of his own generals.

Amongst the three of them, the one the Emperor loved the most was naturally Crown Prince Wang Bi. Who doesn't like beautiful and free people. The sixth brother was too cold, the ninth brother was too slippery, and the crown prince was different, just right, plus his mother. The throne was already in his arms.

Eight years ago, when Zhuang Li had just passed through here, the Lord Zhao had invited the Sixth Prince to a banquet. At that time, the Emperor had already lost patience with the Ninth Prince, Wang Yi, and had begun to investigate his background. This investigation didn't matter. The more he checked, the angrier he got. The ninth prince was also very calm at the moment. His subordinates were like a pitch-black tree, with all sorts of branches growing extremely powerful.

And he was the center of gravity of the trunk. Like a spider in a net, he was the most important and most secretive.

The Emperor wants to investigate? Good. I'll break my meridians wherever I find it. In order to protect the heart of the tree, he had cut off all of his limbs. In any case, he didn't care …

However, he did not seem to think that the mercenary villains who followed him did not care about him and could become daggers for others to attack him with. For example, the old Prime Minister Zhao …

Thus, the Prime Minister Zhao became the branch that he needed to cut off, probably using all sorts of methods to force the Prime Minister Zhao to take the blame on his behalf. That crime was huge, so Old Zhao naturally couldn't bear it. However, he wasn't afraid as he had already come up with a countermeasure …

How smart was Prime Minister Zhao? Perhaps he had long since realized that this great tree of the ninth prince was about to run out of oil. And so, boldly surrendered to Sixth Prince Wang Su. At that time, Wang Su really needed a tactful helper, and thus, he accepted the Prime Minister Zhao's offer.

Old Zhao also married his daughter, Zhao Qin, to the Sixth Prince as he wished. Prepared to be Princess Suo in the future...

Thus, the destruction of the Nine Emperor Party was a foregone conclusion. After all, he had committed too many sins and no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't be able to obtain the throne. This was normal.

But why did Wang Bi become the crippled crown prince, and Wang Su become the throne?

That year, when he collided with's carriage, he had such a cold and prideful look. In the Zhao Mansion, he had no choice but to make things difficult for the Lord Zhao. Since he was willing to hide in a dirty wagon while pretending to be down and out for the Great Feng, he was also willing to accept Li Liangxiao, a poor child with no powerful background, to nurture them into his loyal followers.

He established his position in the army of the Great Phoenix …

Such a person, if one were to say that he wanted to become the Emperor, would surely be someone who had long since planned and planned for this to happen.

But Wang Bi? Never fought back?

Wasn't his mother the empress and extremely powerful? At the very least, Wang Bi would take advantage of all the provocation and words of praise that were in front of the Emperor.

As for Wang Su's mother, he was just a simple and sincere woman who lived in the Plum Garden, as Prince Bi had said.

This was the point that no matter how hard Wang Su tried, he couldn't compare to the Prince Bi.

Zhuang Li thought until her head hurt. She wondered what kind of person Wang Su's mother, who lived in the Plum Court like him, was.

And what kind of people would the former emperor let live in the Plum Court? What happened to her in the end? Had he ever moved out? The child of Wang Su that she was carrying in her Plum Court? Was it also born there?

None of these things were known to Zhuang Li. She simply couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. Although she didn't know how she offended the emperor, she still didn't want her own head to do everything.

Compared to Wang Su, Wang Bi seemed to be more at ease. One day, it seemed that his heart was not at all concerned about the national affairs, and did not take the initiative to befriend the court officials. It was as if he was not worried about Wang Su becoming the emperor at all.

But when he looked at his Plum Garden, he felt a rare loneliness. Had he been in contact with Nessus's mother before?

Then Wang Su's mother must also be a good mother that would cause people to feel close to his and ask after his …

Li Liangxiao currently had a lot of time to enter the palace, but he didn't have time to rest. He would patrol the various palaces and the safety outside the city every day, but he might just pass by the Imperial Study and come out while carrying Zhuang Li's tea. The reunion of family only took place in silence. A single smile represented everything.

The child's smile was still warm, as if the last remnants of winter's snow had been completely melted away in an instant.

If he were to enter the palace, he would definitely bring Xiao Bai over. Little White brought Big Flower, Qing You's rabbit. Since Imperial Study didn't allow him to raise rabbits, he gave the rabbit to Little White first.

That big flower must be living a comfortable life in the general's manor. He ate until he was fat.

Then Qing You ran away with Little White and disappeared without a trace.

What the hell is Lucky Three Treasures?

On the other hand, Zhuang Li could not rest, and neither could the emperor. It was also Wang Su that allowed her to understand what it meant to have so many opportunities to take care of things everyday …

It didn't matter whether it was day or night. It would be strange if the emperor could live as long as he wanted. These words startled her. Weren't they cursing His Majesty …?

Recently, Eunuch Zhang had evolved to the point where she didn't even need to look at her lips to know what was on her mind. Zhuang Li carefully looked around, and indeed, she saw Elder Zhang doing a head-slaying action towards her.

Although she was currently in Imperial Study, and was extremely busy every day, and had many encounters, Zhuang Li still felt that this kind of lifestyle was not bad, and it was even better than living in Plum Court.

Although he was at ease in the Plum Court, he seemed to be stifling something in his heart, and wanted to say it out loud. She would watch the Plum Blossom and the small courtyard every day. She brought Qing You along as if he had gone mad and swept all the corners of the walls until they were completely spotless.

Now that she had something to do, the depression in her heart wouldn't cause her to be unable to breathe. She was young, with good hands and feet, bright eyes, and keen ears. If he put her there. It was as if she didn't want to watch, nor did she want to hear. In the end, she wasn't willing to accept it …

Although on the surface, he acted like he was wearing clothes that showed no fear and did not care about other's feelings at all.

But now, he had more things to do. Although Imperial Study was not considered a large territory, she still spent a lot of time in the teahouse making tea. But there were too many other things to do.

Everyday, she would watch as the palace maid used a stool to change the candles that were almost burnt out in the palace lamps under the eaves, and watch as the emperor drove from the main hall to the Imperial Study. She hurriedly went to get a cup of tea to wait for him. If Elder Zhang was serving the Emperor at the Heart Nurturing Palace, she could freely gossip with Qing You and the group of Imperial Study s.

Unless Eunuch Li succeeded in evolving once again, and had a long-distance telepathic connection with them, they would already know that Zhuang Li and the others were talking bad about the Emperor from their Heart Nurturing Palace …

And Li Liangxiao, when he thought of his little brother, his heart warmed …

And if all of this was not enough, there was still the Prince Bi.

Prince Bi had come to Imperial Study more and more often, and everyday, he would follow the court officials from the main hall to the Imperial Study. Just like Zhuang Li, he hid in the tea room and listened to the commotion. Chat with Zhuang Li for a bit.

Very quickly, he got to know Zhuang Li better. Zhuang Li always felt that the aura around him made her feel that he was very familiar to her. It was only later on that she understood that the King Bi's free and easy liquor and fragrant carp was not an object in the water.

He did not seem to have come from the palace. He looked more like a person from the martial arts world. Zhuang Li had seen that kind of characteristics on the Young Master Loulan, Pear Blossom, Ge Ya and the others.

In that case, the diligent Wang Su seemed to be more suitable to become emperor than the Prince Bi …

After coming and going, Zhuang Li and Wang Bi were actually as close as friends.

At the same time, the Emperor's attitude towards her became more and more vile, almost to the point that he wanted to freeze her into an ice cube. Sometimes, Zhuang Li would not even dare to go in to make tea, and would allow the young eunuch to take over. As for her, she hid in the teahouse, puzzled. It was already spring, and she heard that the peach blossoms were about to bloom. Why was it still so cold?

Speaking of spring, the Clothing Department had already sent Zhuang Li a new spring garment, which was much thinner than the cotton one. It was a light pink color. The cuffs were embroidered with the flower. I heard it's a new design for a tea lady.

Zhuang Li had naturally seen it before, the clothes of the talented girls were all new red cheongsam. It seems that in this palace, from the empress to the Clothing Department, she was already treated as an ordinary female official to serve tea. She is no longer the talented daughter of the Emperor. This made her extremely happy.
