Douluo: Emperor of Light

At the court meeting, Emperor Xueye relied on his previous prestige and decisive courage to handle all the problems very quickly, even feeling a little urgent and rough.

This was an unimaginable thing for Emperor Xueye, who was well versed in politics. Perhaps he had done this in the early days of his succession, but he was rarely so rough now.

However, even so, even leaving some trouble, he still had to do it.

Because I don't have much time.

"Cough cough cough...cough..."

With the support of Xue Luochuan, Emperor Xue Xueye was about to return to his palace when he suddenly coughed and deep red blood seeped out from the handkerchief, giving him an unspeakable feeling of fright.

But Xue Ye reacted as usual, quickly crumpling the handkerchief into a ball with her palm to hide the blood stain.

"Father!"

Xueluochuan looked anxious. He was about to send an order to the doctor, but was stopped by Emperor Xueye.

Xue Ye put away her handkerchief as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the palace with her steps still gentle.

If he hadn't felt the trembling hands, Xue Luochuan might have thought that his father was fine at all, but now, he could only imagine the pain Xue Ye was suffering.

"Calm down and don't make any noise. Oniret will handle the matters outside. We'll talk about everything when we get back to the palace."

Xue Ye's voice reached Xue Luochuan's ears, making him stiffen slightly. He suppressed the sadness in his heart and tried his best to maintain his facial expression.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. When he returned to the palace, Xue Luochuan quickly helped him take off his gorgeous and heavy coat. He saw that Emperor Xue Ye's clothes were already stained with sweat.

The most critical thing was the black blood seeping out of the well-bandaged cloth on the chest.

This is a fatal and untreatable toxin, and it also carries some kind of power, causing wounds!

"Father, your injury has worsened. You must call the palace physician, otherwise..."

Xue Luochuan's tone was anxious, with a hint of admonishment in his words. He no longer paid attention to such slightly disrespectful words.

When Xue Ye was assassinated, it was naturally something that really happened, not something that was directed or acted.

Therefore, the injuries suffered were extremely serious. This was confirmed by everyone and could not be faked, otherwise the ministers and nobles would not be so blatant.

It was precisely because of the serious injury that Emperor Xueye paid a huge price for his current awakening.

Under the special martial arts and methods of the palace doctor, the life potential was forcibly consumed and turned into burning in a short period of time. Xue Ye's pale and weak face fully explained the current state of this man.

Xue Ye lay on the bed in a cold sweat, and let out a sigh of relief as his whole body began to relax.

Such simple movements already made him feel strenuous, and it seemed that he could no longer feel the energy that seemed to be inexhaustible in his body in the past.

Now, there is only weakness in this body.

"No, let's not talk about this now. You are here, listen to me, remember what I say, and then do whatever you need to do. Do you understand?"

Emperor Xueye looked serious and emphasized that he was not joking.

Xueluochuan pursed his lips, and finally nodded slowly, stopping his movements and saying nothing.

Xue Ye relaxed slightly and looked towards the void ahead, filled with memories.

Not long after, he was awakened by the pain in his body, and his brows furrowed.

"There is no need to talk about what happened before. Anyway, they have failed. Compared with going one step further, the biggest problem now is to maintain the existence of the empire."

"I told you before that once the empire falls, the status of the royal family will have no meaning at all. How noble the family is now, it will be in decline by then."

Emperor Xue Ye's voice was calm, but with a little sigh, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.

Perhaps because he was temporarily out of the situation during this period, he was able to observe everything that happened from the perspective of a bystander. Many things in the past seemed extremely clear now.

"Ok, I know."

Xue Luochuan responded, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Xue Ye didn't care about this and continued: "For now, I have excluded Xue Xing. There may be some troubles in the future, but at least for now, there will be no trouble."

"If you want to succeed to the throne, your biggest opponent is your brother Xue Qinghe. With the support of Wuhun Palace, I really can't think of any chance for you to defeat him."

Xue Ye's voice was slightly turbulent, but overall it was still calm.

It was like telling the destined facts from the perspective of others. Even though the battle for the throne was mentioned, there was still not much emotion shown.

It seems that he doesn't care about the competition between brothers, just like himself.

Xue Luochuan raised his head and looked at his father with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.

Xue Ye also kept looking at him, silently waiting for his answer.

After a long silence, Xue Luochuan spoke: "Brother is excellent in all aspects, and also has the support of Wuhun Palace. I think it is a good choice to succeed to the throne."

Xue Ye nodded, glanced at the expression on his face, and then continued: "That's true, but the biggest problem is that he is too close to Wuhun Palace."

"He has been hiding it well before, deliberately keeping a distance from Wuhun Palace, and constantly getting closer to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. It was only recently that I discovered that if the relationship is estranged, he is still on the side of Wuhun Palace."

Xue Luochuan lowered his head and said nothing. He already knew this. If we really wanted to talk about it, he was the first to discover these problems.

Xue Ye had not paid much attention to the relationship between the brothers before, so it was normal for him to make mistakes, but he was different.

However, after hesitating for a while, he still didn't say anything about a certain guess in his heart.

Not only because of the evidence problem, but also because of his own emotions, and because Xue Ye had already discovered the problem, whether or not this guess was revealed would have little effect.

Xue Ye took a breath before continuing: "I think you probably know what will happen in the long run, so I want you to succeed me more than Xue Qinghe."

"It's a pity that time has not waited for me, and now I don't have the ability to promote this matter..."

Sighing slightly, as if expressing regret for the past, Xueluochuan listened quietly without saying a word.

"So, it's up to you to decide what you should do and what you shouldn't do in the future. You have been smart since you were a child. After you figure these things out, you can handle them."

As if explaining the funeral affairs, Xue Ye still had the commanding tone of a superior, appearing extremely indifferent and without too much personal affection.

However, Xue Luochuan knew that this was because his father was not optimistic about the competition between him and his brother, so he specially reminded him to prevent himself from miscalculating the strength of both parties and ending up in pieces.

Although it was not shown, what was revealed was the only concern.

"Father, I remember, I know what to do these things, you don't have to worry..."

Xue Luochuan said with a hint of trembling, making Xue Ye nodded slightly.

As if he had put down his last scruples, he sighed softly and finally gave instructions to Xue Luochuan: "Go and invite the Blood-thorn Elder of Wuhun Temple and Prince Xue Qinghe to come to my place."

After saying that, Xue Ye closed his eyes and stopped talking. Just these words had already consumed some of his energy.

Xue Luochuan bowed down, then stood up, took a deep breath and walked out.

Wuhun Temple.

Xue Qinghe was facing each other with Elder Sanxue. Their desks were filled with news from Wuhun Palace.

The largest number of them was the far-reaching court meeting before.

These days, for safety reasons, Xue Qinghe has been staying at Wuhun Temple. After all, the palace is not his home court.

"Elder, what is the specific situation?"

Seeing the stabbing in deep thought, Xue Qinghe couldn't hold back his temper and asked directly.

Usually when faced with this kind of thing, he needs to think and make his own judgment, but in Wuhun Temple, he obviously doesn't want to do these things.

Xue Xue was interrupted from thinking, but he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled kindly and explained the current situation for him.

"Prince Xue Xing, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up. The nobles and ministers in the city will also be suppressed for a period of time. But looking at Xue Ye's appearance, he seems to want to pass the throne to Xue Luochuan."

Having said this, Qixue couldn't help frowning and rubbing his chin.

He knew that Xue Luochuan was not an easy boy to fool. Once Xue Ye really made up his mind, it would be quite troublesome.

However, that's all.

"Xue Luochuan? It seems that the old guy still has doubts about me. He is not that old and confused."

"It's a pity that it's too late now. The Wuhun Palace has become a success. Even if a problem is discovered, what can the royal family do to oppose it?"

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand carelessly and said with great confidence.

There is a reason for his confidence. A few days ago, news came from Haotian Sect that the biggest die-hard in Wuhun Palace for many years finally lowered his head and was willing to surrender.

Without the indispensable force of Haotian Sect, it is still a question whether the royal family still has the confidence to reject Wuhun Palace.

"That's true. The Haotian Sect has to bow its head, let alone Xue Ye, but Qingyang is really beyond my imagination. He can actually suppress the entire sect without lifting its head."

"This strength and courage is really... It seems that we are really old."

He Xue shook his head and laughed, sighing that things in the world were strange.

A few years ago, Tang Hao was the only one in the Haotian Sect who made the Wuhun Palace look down on him. Now the same person in the Wuhun Palace suppressed the Haotian Sect and had to bow its head.

The change was so fast that he felt it was hard to accept it.

"Yes, Qingyang did this and saved me a lot of trouble. If Xue Ye really doesn't know what is good and what is good, Wuhun Palace will make him realize the reality."

Xue Qinghe's eyes seemed to have a strange flash of light. He was secretly happy, but he also said reservedly.

However, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask with doubt:

"Who sent the person who assassinated Xue Ye that day?"

After the words fell, Xue Qinghe also fell into deep thought, making Xue Qinghe even more confused.

This is very suspicious, disrupting Wuhun Palace's long-standing plans, and due to strict confidentiality, Xue Qinghe has not obtained information from the empire until now.

Or maybe the empire doesn’t know either.

However, Elder Thornblood also frowned when faced with this question. Xue Qinghe understood that this was obviously not a simple question that was easy to answer.

"According to the evidence just released by the Tiandou Empire, it appears that it is Prince Xuexing and some nobles, but the real murderer is still unknown."

Xue Qinghe frowned. This answer was obviously unsatisfactory. With the huge power of Wuhun Palace, such a big matter could not be investigated for a while?

It's just that now is not the time to focus on this. How to hold the Tiandou Empire in your hands is the most important thing.

The unknown secrets revealed in this incident can only be explored later.

At this time, there was a knocking sound outside the door. After gaining consent, Lianyue walked in apologetically.

Then he said in a clear voice: "Your Highness, Elder, Emperor Xueye sent an envoy to invite you two to the palace to discuss the inheritance of the throne."

Xue Qinghe raised his head in surprise and subconsciously looked at Lianyue, while Xue Qinghe did not hold back and said what he was thinking in surprise: "Could it be that Xue Ye can't hold on anymore?"

The next moment, with Lianyue's embarrassed and bewildered expression, the two of them came back to their senses.

Xue Qinghe obviously didn't say this casually. When a son talks about his father like this, it really makes people don't know how to behave...

Fortunately, this is the Wuhun Temple.

Xue Qinghe smiled kindly, and then motioned Lianyue to step back. After that, he and Xue Qinghe looked at each other, and their expressions became more serious.

"It seems that Xue Ye has not recovered, but has just used some unknown method to suppress the injuries on his body, and the cost is probably not small."

"I was wondering before, how did the Tiandou Empire solve the problem that our Spirit Hall found difficult to solve?"

"It looks like that now."

Thorne commented like this.

As a force that stands side by side with the two empires, Wuhun Palace has a rough understanding of Tiandou's situation. Now that it only knows the key information, it can deduce everything.

Xue Qinghe didn't pay attention to this at this time. He pondered for a while, thinking about the purpose of the other party sending someone to deliver the message.

After a moment, he thought of something and looked relaxed, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Majesty has finally recognized the reality and gave up the useless struggle."

"It comes to mind. All I have learned from him over the years is political compromise. Even if you fight to the death, I don't think he can make it."

Qianxue thought for a while and found that it was indeed the case, and his expression became more relaxed.

Since Xue Ye wants to invite them to the palace for discussion, it means that he has completely given up his plan to forcefully confer Xue Luochuan. This kind of compromise attitude is also a good thing for both parties.

"In that case, let's go take a look."

Xue Qinghe nodded, and there was even a sense of impatience in his expression.

After hiding and pretending for so many years, the final result was finally coming, and even he couldn't keep a calm heart.
