Douluo: I really am not an ice god!

"Father."

Qian Renxue stepped forward and bowed with her hands raised, her face full of respect. She had been lurking in the Tiandou Empire for more than ten years, and she had already mastered the control of her expressions.

"Yes." Xue Ye waved and said in a gentle tone, "Qinghe, come to your father." "

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know the reason yet, Xue Ye's gentle attitude showed that things were not going in a bad direction.

She walked slowly to Xue Ye's bed, planning to see what Xue Ye would say next.

"Qinghe, if my father remembers correctly, you should be in your twenties today, right?" Xue Ye asked Qian Renxue to sit beside the bed, and the father and son started doing household chores.

"Back to my father, that's right." Qian Renxue responded softly.

"Old, old..."

Looking at Qian Renxue in front of her who looked like her when she was young, Xue Ye said with emotion, "My father ascended the throne at your age. I never thought that in the blink of an eye you would be no longer old."

"My son is stupid, how can he compare with my father?" Qian Renxue shook her head and said modestly.

"Hahaha, my son is quite modest...cough cough -" Xue Ye's laughter was interrupted by a rapid cough, and her face turned red from suppressing it.

Qian Renxue said anxiously, "Father!"

"Ahem, nothing's wrong, it's the same old problem."

Although he said this, there was a complicated look in Xue Ye's eyes.

He feels that his health is getting worse recently. It may be due to injuries sustained when he was young or affected by the sudden death of the prince. His current physical condition is deteriorating.

For the future of the empire, he decided to identify a successor for Tiandou.

Although, the identity of Prince Xue Qinghe is already confirmed, with almost no other twists.

but!Except for the authorization given by Xue Ye, the power he can truly control is still pitiful, even compared to Prince Xue Xing.

However, this phenomenon is very common in the royal family.

After all, no emperor would give his power to the prince while he was still alive.

In fact, if Xue Ye's physical condition hadn't been getting worse and worse, he wouldn't have been able to separate the power in his hands.

However, based on his calculations, he did not intend to directly hand over the power to the prince. Instead, he planned to use the complex situation in the court to test the prince's true ability.

In his opinion, Qian Renxue was still a bit immature. Although she had been exposed to a lot of military and government affairs, these were the principles and policies stated in memorials and she had never practiced them personally in the court.

Empty theory without practice is just talk on paper.

Xue Ye was a hundred worried about handing over the empire to such a person.

Therefore, handling government affairs alone, judging the form of the empire, presiding over the court and competing with ministers, these are the final tests that Xue Ye left for Qian Renxue.

"Qinghe, I am not feeling well and cannot be distracted from the political affairs of the court in a short period of time, so I plan to let you supervise the administration of the country." While speaking, Xue Ye took out a prepared edict from somewhere and read it with a gesture. He glanced at the chamberlain who had been by his side for many years.

The eunuch understood the idea, stepped forward, took the edict, opened it and read it out.

[I, Xue Ye, the Great Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, have ordered my son Xue Qinghe to supervise the country as the crown prince from today on. All matters in the country, including military and political affairs, etc., are now handed over to the crown prince. The prince’s wishes are my wishes. Anyone can No delay, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! 】

Here's your chance!

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with excitement. After lurking in the Tiandou Empire for so long, the opportunity she had been waiting for finally arrived!

The moment I saw the edict.

Qian Renxue knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for for many years had finally arrived!

This was Xue Ye's last test for her. As long as she succeeded, the throne of the Tiandou Empire would be within her reach.

"Your Highness."

After the reading was completed, the chamberlain put away the edict and stepped aside.

At the same time, Xue Ye looked deeply at Qian Renxue, "Qinghe, don't let your father down."

"Father, don't worry, Qinghe will definitely not let you down!" He looked at Xue Ye with clear and firm eyes and said every word.

She understood that Xue Ye had already made up her mind. If she didn't show her confidence now, how long would it take?

"Okay!" After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Xue Ye laughed out loud.

"You are confident enough, you are worthy of being my son!" After praising him repeatedly, Xue Ye immediately turned his head and said, "Take out my scepter and give it to Qinghe along with the imperial edict."

"promise."

The chamberlain walked to the back hall and soon took out one.

It was a short staff with a silver-white body. The top of the staff was engraved with a swan, which symbolized the royal family. The swan's eyes were made of two small sapphires. At the same time, it had a pair of white wings that spread out to the left and right, and there were also carved symbols on the wings. There are lifelike wings, and the entire staff is engraved with exquisite patterns.

"Qinghe, this scepter was given to me by the late emperor when I was in charge."

Xue Ye paused for a moment, looked at the familiar short stick, recalled the memories of the past, and then said with full of hope, "Today I will hand him over to you. You should understand the meaning of it. I hope you will not disappoint me." .”

"Qinghe will definitely live up to father's expectations."

"Okay, I believe in you as a father!"

Xue Ye pointed to the chamberlain beside him and said in a deep voice, "Qilin, Qinghe is in charge for the first time. From today on, you will follow Qinghe and help him."

"No." As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Lin walked up behind Qian Renxue.

Qilin is an old man who has followed Xue Ye for many years. From the time he ascended the throne to the present, he is Xue Ye's well-deserved confidant.

He placed Qilin next to Qian Renxue just to test her abilities.

Qi Lin is now Xue Ye's eyes and ears, responsible for delivering all the news when Qian Renxue took office, and preventing and correcting Qian Renxue's deviations.

After all, national affairs are not a trivial matter, so naturally he would not really ignore them.

"Okay Qinghe, you can go down first." Xue Ye said warmly.

"Yes."

Looking at Qian Renxue's leaving figure, Xue Ye hoped in her heart that his prince would not let down the expectations of his old father.

Thinking of this, Xue Ye lay tiredly on the bed.

His health was really bad, so he just sat and talked for a while, and thin beads of sweat spread all over his forehead.

outside the palace.

Qian Renxue stopped and said with a chuckle, "I will ask Eunuch Qi for your advice in the future."

"Your Highness, I am just following orders." Qi Lin bowed. Although he lowered his head, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

Order?

It must be Xue Ye’s order...

"I will not let my father down."

While speaking, Qian Renxue took a deep look at Qilin, then turned and left without saying any more, while Qian Lin silently followed behind him, fulfilling the mission assigned to him by Xue Ye.
