Douluo: Reborn Xue Ke, determined to protect Qian Renxue
Chapter 206-209 His Highness the Crown Prince is dying
"boom--"
The thunder dragon claws and countless thunder and lightning were blocked one by one by the golden-red barrier.
"The sixth soul skill, Sky-breaking Dragon Roar!"
Yu Yuanzhen opened the dragon's mouth and let out a harsh dragon roar. In the dragon roar, several waist-thick thunder and lightning struck Yueguan.
"The fifth soul skill, kill hundreds of flowers in a thousand years!"
Autumn comes on September [-]th, and the mood of autumn is killing.
Countless golden-red petals fell one after another, instantly covering a hundred meters in the air. Each seemingly light petal concealed endless murderous intent. Several thunder and lightning collided with the petals, purple and golden-red intertwined, and finally it was golden-red. Gaining the upper hand, the purple thunder and lightning disappeared in the flower array.
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils shrank. This was a powerful attack he launched while in the state of his martial soul avatar, but it was easily resolved by Yue Guan's fifth soul skill.
"Master Jade, let me send you on your way."
Yueguan has no interest in playing with this old dragon anymore.
The seventh and ninth soul rings lit up, and Yue Guan launched the final massacre towards Yu Yuan Zhen.
"The ninth soul skill, the chrysanthemum is broken, the ground is full of injuries, and the flower is heartbroken!"
The brilliant golden red light instantly enveloped Yu Yuan Zhen and turned into countless crescent blades. The countless crescent blades rotated rapidly like tops, forming a huge golden red tornado, heading towards Yu Yuan Zhen with unparalleled momentum. go.
Yu Yuanzhen felt the wind roaring around him and the pressure doubled.
"The ninth soul skill, when the real dragon is angry, the sound shakes the heavens!"
Dragon roars sounded louder than before, and a large amount of thunder and lightning gathered into a huge thunder column, facing the golden and red tornado.
"boom--"
The entire sky seemed to explode under the attacks of the two. The aftermath of the two titled Douluo's attacks was such that the crowd below had to stop attacking and all used their soul power to resist.
When the light dissipated, Yue Guan still raised her orchid fingers contentedly, looking at Yu Yuan Zhen in the distance with a smile. She saw that Yu Yuan Zhen was covered in blood, with no intact part of his body, and was dying and crumbling.
"Tick."
A drop of dark red blood flowed from Yu Yuanzhen's body and landed on Yu Luo Mian's face below. Immediately afterwards, Yu Yuanzhen fell straight down.
"Brother!" Yu Luo Mian cried sadly.
After catching Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian checked the injuries on Yu Yuanzhen's body and found that Yu Yuanzhen's injuries were very serious and there were signs that the oil would run out.
Yue Guan put away his playful smile and said loudly in a majestic voice: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Kill me!"
The sound of Yueguan resounded throughout the mountain, and the members of Wuhun Palace once again launched a new round of offensive.
Ghost Douluo and the Ninth Elder frantically harvested the lives of the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, while Yueguan launched a fatal blow to Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen. In the end, these two brothers died together.
An hour later, more than [-] members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were all killed. Blood flowed like a river, and even the night was dyed with blood red.
Yueguan pulled off all three soul bones from Yu Yuanzhen's body. At the same time, the other members of the Spirit Hall were also quickly counting the loot.
After a while, all the treasures in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were taken away by Wuhun Palace. Yueguan ordered a head count. Wuhun Palace dispatched a total of more than 12 people this time, including three titled Douluo and 50 people. Soul Douluo, there are 500 soul saints, more than [-] soul emperors, and more than [-] soul kings.In this battle, Wuhun Palace wiped out more than [-] people from the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Sect, and lost nearly [-] people.
"withdraw!"
More than [-] members of the Wuhun Palace quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground.
……
Four days later, Wuhun City, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat majestically on the papal throne, quietly listening to the cardinal's report below.
"Your Majesty the Pope, we dispatched a total of 8000 people to surprise the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Except for a few disciples who are not in the sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family has been completely wiped out. We have lost a total of 465 people, and their remains have been transported. Go back for burial.”
"The Communist Party of China seized 2000 million gold soul coins and other valuables from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's residence. In addition, they also seized 8 soul bones, 3 of which came from the sect leader Yu Yuanzhen, and are all about 5 years old. , there are still three soul bones that are about 3 years old, and the remaining two soul bones are thousand-year soul bones. Now these trophies have been put into the warehouse, please accept His Majesty the Pope."
Bibi Dong stood up slowly and nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job this time. Send me an order. Everyone who participated in the soul hunting operation that night will be rewarded with 50 gold soul coins. Those who are injured and have not recovered, I will The meeting will personally send a healing soul master to treat you for free."
The cardinal expressed gratitude: "His Majesty the Pope is wise, thank you very much, Your Majesty the Pope!"
After the cardinal exited, Hu Liena, who had been standing behind Bibi Dong, said: "Teacher, I didn't expect this operation to go so smoothly. Now that one of the three upper sects has gone, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is intimidated by the power of my Wuhun Palace. They have already turned to us, and now only the Haotian Sect is left."
Bibi Dong said calmly: "Without Tang Hao, Tang Xiao and the five titled Douluo elders, the Haotian Sect is now a dog with a broken spine and can be destroyed with just one hand. Right now our main focus should be on the Tiandou Empire And the Star Luo Empire."
When Bibi Dong mentioned the Tiandou Empire, Hu Liena couldn't help but think of Xue Ke.
"Teacher, how is Xiaoke doing now?"
Since returning to Wuhun Hall, Hu Liena has been busy regulating her murderous aura and returning to a normal state of mind. She has not received any news about Xue Ke for a while.
"Xiao Ke is currently in her fiefdom, Tianxue City. She manages Tianxue City in an orderly manner and is quite loved by the local people. Why, we haven't seen her for more than half a month and you already miss her?" Bibi Dong said with a smile.
Hu Liena nodded in surprise and did not answer Bibi Dong's words.
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena who lowered her head and said nothing in confusion, her eyes slightly narrowed, and the woman's intuition told her that there must be an ulterior secret between the two people.
"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first." Hu Liena said.
Bibi Dong waved her hand helplessly. She didn't want to care about the trouble between Hu Liena and Xue Ke. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so let everything take its course.
……
Tiandou City, the Imperial Palace, and the Sleeping Palace on a snowy night.
"Snapped--"
Xue Ye was so angry that she almost smashed the table in front of her.
"It's too blatant, it's too blatant! What is Wuhun Palace doing? Do they really want to rule the entire continent? Do they really think that everyone in our Tiandou Empire is invincible?"
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has never expressed support for the Tiandou Empire, its headquarters is within the Tiandou Empire.Wuhundian openly committed crimes in the Tiandou Empire, which clearly showed that he did not take the Tiandou Empire seriously.
At this time, in this dormitory, besides Xue Ye, there were also Prince Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Su Pei and several important officials of the empire.
Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi's acting skills were at their peak, their faces were livid, and they pretended to look worried, but in fact they had already known about Wuhun Palace's soul hunting operation beforehand.
"Father, calm down, it is not appropriate for us to fight head-on with Wuhun Palace now. Wuhun Palace not only controls nearly [-]% of the soul masters in the entire continent, but also has many of their minions in the principalities and kingdoms within the empire. In recent years, , Wuhundian has also gradually taken control of the economic lifeline of our Tiandou Empire through its company. The most important thing for our Tiandou Empire right now is to figure out a way to save ourselves."
Xue Ye took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and asked: "Qinghe, what do you think we should do now?"
Xue Qinghe thought for a moment and said: "My son believes that our most important task at the moment is to control as many troops as possible. Although our Tiandou Empire claims to have a million-strong army, in fact, the army controlled by our royal family is But there are not so many. Among the kingdoms and principalities that are nominally surrendered to our Tiandou royal family, I don’t know how many people have different intentions, are waiting and watching, or have been bribed by Wuhun Palace. We want to conquer these kingdoms and principalities Only when we have the army in our hands can we have the capital to compete with Wuhun Palace."
Xue Ye sighed: "Qinghe, it is not that simple to solve this problem. If you are not careful, I am afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of various kingdoms and principalities and force them to fall to Wuhun Palace. This is our Tiandou Empire This problem has existed since the founding of the country, and successive emperors have tried various methods, but with little success."
"Besides, even if we can summon an army of millions, the army will be useless in front of truly powerful soul masters. Wuhun Palace has at least [-] soul masters in its hands, and its high-end combat power is even more crushing. Overwhelmed my Tiandou Empire."
Ning Fengzhi said: "Your Majesty, you must not be discouraged. The Tiandou Empire still has some time to prepare. According to my guess, the Wuhun Palace's first priority now is to eliminate the three upper sects. At present, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has been destroyed. The next targets of Wuhun Palace will be our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the reclusive Haotian Sect. Before Wuhun Palace destroys the last three sects, I am afraid they will not take any large-scale action against the Tiandou Empire."
Xue Ye nodded, feeling that Ning Fengzhi's words made sense.
"Everyone except Qinghe, please go down first." Xue Ye said.
After Ning Fengzhi and several important ministers went out, Xue Ye took out a document from Su Pei and showed it to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe spread it out and found out that it was about Xue Ke's recent deeds.
There was a soft look in Xue Ye's eyes. At this moment, he was no longer the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, but an old father who was dying.
"Xiao Ke is not only gifted in cultivation, but his talent in governing the country is not inferior to that of your brother. Xiao Ke may be the only hope for our Tiandou Empire. I only hope that she can grow up as soon as possible, and in the future Able to lead an army to protect the glory of our Tiandou royal family."
Xue Qinghe smiled and said: "Father, Xiaoke will never let you down. She has never let us down."
Xue Ye turned around and looked at Xue Qinghe with burning eyes: "Qinghe, don't you blame me?"
Xue Qinghe naturally understood what Xue Ye meant. Xue Ke was supported by Xue Ye to check and balance him. Now Xue Ke received even more favors than him, the prince.
There was a hint of tenderness in Xue Qinghe's eyes: "Xiao Ke is indeed better than me in all aspects, but no matter what happens, my relationship with her will never change."
These words were Xue Qinghe's heartfelt words. Xue Ye saw that Xue Qinghe spoke sincerely, and her doubts disappeared a lot.
Xue Ye's biggest worry is that the tragedy of the second and third princes will happen again to Xue Ke, the most ruthless emperor's family!
Xue Ye said with concern: "Qinghe, now the state affairs are heavy, but my father's health is getting worse day by day, and I have left many affairs to you to handle. I know that you are diligent, but you must also pay attention to your health and not overdo it. Work hard.”
"Thank you for your consideration, Father. Serving the country is your duty as a minister." Xue Qinghe replied.
"Qinghe, it is important to help my father with government affairs, but it is also a major matter for the country to produce heirs for the royal family. I have also heard about you and the Crown Princess. You two have been married for several years, but you are busy with government affairs all day long and sleeping with the Crown Princess. The number of visits is very few and I have nothing to do so far. Would you like me, father, to give you a few days off so that I can make some time for you?"
Xue Qinghe cursed, even if I had enough time, it would be impossible to have a baby with her.
"Thank you for your concern, father. The country is in crisis right now. How can I delay national affairs because of family affairs? I will take the time to get closer to the Crown Princess." Xue Qinghe said perfunctorily.
Xue Ye is an old man, and Xue Qinghe's perfunctory attitude is nowhere to be seen. However, there is no good way to persuade Xue Qinghe at the moment. We can't send someone to tie him up with the princess.
"Okay, you go down first."
"My son retire."
After seeing Xue Qinghe go out, Xue Ye asked Su Pei on the side: "Have all the secret guards found out?"
Su Pei hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say to Xue Ye.
Xue Ye sighed: "Tell me, no matter what the situation is, I can accept it."
Su Pei said cautiously: "According to the secret guard's report, His Highness the Crown Prince has not been blessed by any woman so far. On the night of the wedding of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, there was no movement in the bridal chamber. I found an experienced female secret guard. I went to inquire and found that the Crown Princess is still a virgin until now. Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince may..."
Su Pei didn't dare to say the next thing. In this situation, there were only two possibilities. Xue Qinghe was either not good at it, or he was gay.
After listening to Su Pei's report, Xue Ye's face suddenly darkened.
In the past, Xue Ye thought that Xue Qinghe was doing well and not acting as recklessly as Xue Beng.But what happened between Xue Qinghe and Su Jingwen made Xue Ye suddenly suspicious, and she began to doubt Xue Qinghe's problem.
Xue Ye recalled the tenderness and love in Xue Qinghe's eyes when he was talking about Xue Ke. Xue Qinghe's expression was very strange, and Xue Ye immediately thought of the third possibility...
Xue Ye's heart suddenly sank. If he really guessed the real reason, then this incident would probably become the biggest scandal for the Tiandou royal family.
Xue Ye had a gloomy face, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Su Pei was as silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.
Xue Ye thought that since Xue Ke was a child, Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke, brother and sister, had often lived together. Xue Ye thought at first that the two were brothers and sisters, so they didn't care much.But considering Xue Qinghe's current situation, Xue Ye felt more and more that his guess was probably true.
Xue Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. He must not allow this kind of thing to develop. As the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, he must completely cut off this abnormal relationship and maintain the majesty of the royal family.
"Call the Crown Princess to come over. I have something to say to her."
Su Pei responded: "Yes!"
……
Prince's Mansion, back garden.
Su Jingwen was in the pavilion, sipping tea and carefully reading the "Ten Essentials of Political Affairs" in her hand.
Due to her low cultivation talent, Su Jingwen spent most of her time reading books since she was a child, and was particularly interested in the history and politics of Douluo Continent. Su Jingwen read a lot of books, and her knowledge was no worse than those of the courtiers.
Since marrying Xue Qinghe, Su Jingwen, who has been neglected, has nothing to do and spends most of her time studying political affairs.
From the Ming Dynasty to the present, the more Su Jingwen studied, the more she wanted to change the world.
A maid came forward and said, "Your Royal Highness, Eunuch Su invites you."
Su Jingwen put away her books and came to the living room to see Su Pei.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come with me now," Su Pei said.
Su Jingwen was a little confused. Xue Ye rarely summoned her. She only met Xue Ye once during family banquets. Now, Xue Ye sent his closest eunuch to summon her. She didn't know what was being sold in the gourd. What medicine.
Su Jingwen followed Su Pei into the palace and came to Xue Ye's study.
"See Father." Su Jingwen knelt down and saluted.
"Be flat."
Su Jingwen looked up and found that there were only two people, Xue Ye and her, in the huge study at this moment, and her doubts became even more intense.
"Jingwen, you and Qinghe have been married for more than four years, right?" Xue Ye said calmly.
"Yes, Father." Su Jingwen secretly guessed that what Xue Ye was going to say was related to Xue Qinghe.
"In the past four years, you two have done nothing. I know this is not your problem. I called you here today just to help you solve this problem. There is a box on the table. Open it and take a look."
After hearing Xue Ye's words, Su Jingwen was slightly shocked, but her face remained calm. She walked to the table aside and opened the box Xue Ye mentioned. A small packet of strangely colored powder came into view.
"I will send someone to bring you and Qinghe two glasses of wine at the palace dinner tomorrow. You and Qinghe will stay in the palace that night."
Hearing this, Su Jingwen still didn't understand what Xue Ye meant.
"Father, isn't this good? His Highness may not be happy with it." Su Jingwen said anxiously.
Xue Ye stared at Su Jingwen with burning eyes: "Then how long do you and your wife want me to wait? For the sake of the dignity of the royal family and the future of the prince, as the crown prince of my Tiandou Empire, you must do this. If If you don’t want to, I can let someone else do it.”
Su Jingwen was intimidated by Xue Ye's power and did not dare to speak anymore. Moreover, it was not wise to disobey Xue Ye's order in person.
"My son, I know." Su Jingwen lowered her head and said, while also thinking of countermeasures in her mind.
Xue Ye sighed: "Don't blame me for being too harsh on you. I just learned about this matter, and I'm just as depressed as you are. Qinghe has neglected you for so long, don't you want to fly with him?" The imperial heir's affairs are state affairs. Although the means are not very glorious, for the sake of the overall situation, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
"I understand that if nothing happens to my father, I will resign." Su Jingwen bowed again.
Xue Ye waved her hand. Just as Su Jingwen was about to walk out of the study, Xue Ye suddenly said: "You don't want to go back to the Prince's Mansion today. Just stay in the palace. Qinghe will enter the palace at the dinner party tomorrow."
Su Jingwen secretly complained that Xue Ye was afraid that she would be tipped off, so she kept her in the palace.
"My son obeys the order."
Su Jingwen followed a eunuch to a side hall. Su Jingwen pointed to a certain room and said, "I will live in this room and ask the palace maid Xiaoyuan to serve me."
The eunuch responded respectfully and soon brought the palace maid Xiaoyuan.
Su Jingwen pulled Xiaoyuan into the room and closed the door.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess, what do you need from your slave?"
Su Jingwen winked at Xiaoyuan, and then said: "I want to take a shower and change clothes, so go and get ready."
Xiaoyuan is one of the people placed in the palace by Wuhundian to facilitate movement.
In the bathroom next door, Xiaoyuan prepared bath water. Su Jingwen walked in and pulled Xiaoyuan into the bathtub together.
Su Jingwen leaned into Xiaoyuan's ear and said: "Tell the prince quickly, His Majesty wants to cheat on the drinks at tomorrow's dinner party, and wants to keep His Royal Highness and me living in the palace. Please come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. "
Xiaoyuan said softly "Hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
"There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and secret guards are all over the palace, so be careful." Su Jingwen reminded.
"The servant knows."
……
At night, the palace maid Xiaoyuan passed Su Jingwen's words to the Prince's Mansion through the hidden line buried in the palace by Wuhun Palace.
"Snapped--"
Xue Qinghe slapped the table, his face turned red with anger.
Xue Ye might have guessed something, so he came up with such a despicable plan.
What Xue Qinghe is most worried about now is not tomorrow's dinner, but how to solve the problem once and for all and dispel Xue Ye's thoughts.
Entering the Dao Demon Space, Xue Qinghe transformed into Qian Renxue again and told Xue Ke everything.
Xue Ke lowered his head and pondered, this matter was indeed difficult to handle.
"Sister Xue, it seems that the pressure put on my father by Wuhun Palace is not enough. My father, who is so shameless, still has time to think about such things. It is not that this problem cannot be solved, I just want to wrong you, Sister Xue." Xue Ke said.
Qian Renxue's golden eyes lit up, and her face showed joy: "Xiao Ke, do you have a solution?"
Xue Ke smiled mysteriously: "Let's wait until mother comes."
……
The next day, there was a dinner at Tiandou Palace.
Xue Ye took a seat at the main seat, while Xue Qinghe and the Crown Princess sat at the bottom.
On a snowy night, after inviting everyone to eat, they struck each other with their palms and made a crisp sound. A group of nearly two hundred beautiful singing and dancing girls, wearing various long gowns made of translucent light materials, danced into the hall gracefully. Singing and dancing.With her breasts and jade legs hidden, the singer and dancer made all kinds of graceful gestures, which made people fascinated. Xue Ye and the nobles present were all looking at her with lust and high-fives to cheer her up.
Banquets are sometimes really good. In the unnecessary entertainment and vulgar joy, it is easy for people to forget themselves in self-narcosis.
Xue Qinghe watched the singing and dancing girls singing fairy tunes, dancing gracefully and gracefully, as erratic as gods, and couldn't help but think of Xue Ke.
If Xue Ke starts to dance, her dancing will be stunning. She must let Xue Ke dance for her one day.
Xue Ye glanced at Xue Qinghe, and saw that Xue Qinghe seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, and his mind was not on singing and dancing at all. His heart suddenly sank, which confirmed his guess.
After dancing, the singer and dancer retreated, leaving behind a palace full of fragrance.
Xue Ye gave Su Pei a wink. Su Pei understood and asked his servants to bring fresh drinks to Xue Qinghe and Su Jingwen.
Su Jingwen looked at the wine glass in front of her and her expression changed slightly. She didn't know what countermeasures Xue Qinghe had to solve the problem.
Xue Qinghe picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly: "Jingwen, come here, let me toast you."
Seeing that Xue Qinghe still looked gentle and elegant, Su Jingwen relaxed a little and raised her wine glass to drink with Xue Qinghe. Both of them drank the wine in the glass completely.
Xue Ye touched his beard and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Maybe after tonight, he would soon have a grandson in his arms.
The banquet was still going on, the sound of silk and bamboo could not be heard, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the banquet.
Xue Qinghe's complexion gradually turned red, his chest heaved violently, his breathing was heavy, and his condition was obviously not right.
Seeing that the medicine had taken effect, Xue Ye glanced at Su Pei and asked him to take the couple to the side hall. However, before Su Pei could go there, something unexpected happened.
Xue Qinghe's complexion suddenly turned from red to green, and he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood with a "wow" sound, then fell forward and passed out.
"Your Highness!" Su Jingwen exclaimed.
Everyone at the banquet looked over, and exclamations suddenly sounded in the hall.
Su Jingwen helped Xue Qinghe up, and saw that Xue Qinghe's face turned green and his lips turned black. He was obviously poisoned.
When Xue Ye saw this, he was shocked and angry. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Send to the imperial doctor quickly!"
At this point, the banquet ended unhappy.
……
Inside the bedroom.
Xue Qinghe was unconscious, his breath seemed very weak, and he was lying motionless on the bed. Next to him, an imperial doctor was treating Xue Qinghe.
Su Jingwen sat aside with tears in her eyes, wiping the tears from her face and sobbing gently.
The imperial doctor turned around and said to Xue Ye: "His Royal Highness is poisoned by a strong poison. I can't think of a way to detoxify it now. Time is running out. I can only use soul skills to suppress the poison in His Highness' body first. Save the life of His Royal Highness, and find a way to detoxify it in the future."
Xue Ye said anxiously: "The imperial doctor should treat him quickly."
The imperial doctor released his martial soul and soul skills and began to treat Xue Qinghe. Half an hour later, the imperial doctor's soul power was exhausted and he ended the treatment. Xue Qinghe's complexion had improved slightly.
The imperial doctor pricked one of Xue Qinghe's fingers with a golden needle and took a small bottle of blood.
"Your Majesty, I will go back to study the antidote method, so I will take my leave first."
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor, please go back quickly."
This imperial doctor was already the most skilled and experienced in the palace. If even he could not develop an antidote, then Xue Qinghe would have no choice but to wait for death.
Xue Ye and Su Jingwen came to the bed. Su Jingwen held one of Xue Qinghe's hands, the worry in her eyes still unabated.
Seeing that Xue Qinghe was okay for the time being, Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and then strode out of the dormitory. Su Pei was standing at the door.
"Have you found out? Who is so bold as to dare to murder my prince!" Xue Ye was furious.
Su Pei knelt down: "My subordinates are incompetent. The secret guards have checked all the clues, but they can't find out who the murderer is."
Xue Ye knew the power of the secret guard, but he never expected that he couldn't even detect the secret guard.
Xue Ye narrowed her eyes slightly and remained silent. Su Pei was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
After a long time, Xue Ye said in a deep voice: "Tell me, is it possible that Xue Xing did this?"
Su Pei broke out in a cold sweat. There were quite a few cases of poisoning and harming people among the royal family. Xue Xing had always been at odds with Xue Qinghe. This was well known to everyone in the government and the public.What happened to Xue Qinghe would be most beneficial to Xue Xing's side, and Xue Xing's suspicion was indeed high.
"My subordinates believe that the person who poisoned the palace is very familiar with the affairs of the palace, so he was able to make this matter watertight, without leaving any clues, and not even the secret guards could find out." Su Pei said in a trembling voice.
Xue Ye didn't want to embarrass Su Pei anymore, so she sighed and said, "Get up first."
Xue Ye returned to his bedroom and thought about the whole thing carefully, becoming more and more suspicious of Xue Xing.
Xue Xing is ambitious, Xue Ye knows this, otherwise Xue Xing would not spare no effort to support Xue Beng.Only Xue Xing has the power to poison Xue Qinghe at the palace banquet without anyone noticing.
Xue Ye recalled the scene when Xue Xing saw Xue Qinghe being poisoned and comatose. At that time, Xue Xing appeared very frightened and worried, but the joy in his eyes was still captured by Xue Ye.
A hint of murderous intent flashed through Xue Ye's eyes. If Xue Qinghe died because of this, he would never let Xue Xing go.
Xue Ye immediately thought that if Xue Qinghe really died, and his son would be left with only Xue Beng, would he really want to make this ignorant and useless prince the crown prince and hand over the Tiandou Empire to him?
Nowadays, the Wuhun Palace is becoming more and more rampant, and the military fronts are all frightening. The situation of the Tiandou Empire is becoming more and more critical. If the Tiandou Empire is handed over to a playboy like Xue Beng, it will be tantamount to handing over the Tiandou Empire. To Wuhun Palace.
Thinking of this, Xue Ye put her hand on her forehead and felt a headache.
Xue Ye looked at the Pi Xiu on the table, which was the birthday gift given to him by Xue Ke, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Perhaps, even if there is no Xueqinghe, it is not necessary to choose avalanche.
Although this kind of thing is unprecedented in the Tiandou Empire, under today's severe situation, coupled with Xue Ke's own strength and status, it is not impossible.
Xue Ye sighed. It was still unknown whether Xue Qinghe could recover. All plans had to wait until the outcome of the matter came out.
……
Three days later, Xue Qinghe gradually woke up after taking the antidote developed by the imperial physician.
"Your Highness, it's great that you finally woke up!" Su Jingwen threw herself on Xue Qinghe and cried sadly.
The imperial doctor ordered: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, I will go back to report to Your Majesty first. Could you please take good care of the Crown Prince here?"
Su Jingwen nodded, and the imperial doctor withdrew and came to Xue Ye's study.
There were piles of memorials on the desk. I was dealing with government affairs on a snowy night. When I saw the imperial doctor coming in, I quickly put down what I was doing and asked, "How's it going? Can the prince be saved?"
The imperial doctor knelt down with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am incompetent, and His Royal Highness is dying."
Xue Ye felt like the world was spinning. His best son was gone like this?
Xue Ye was so distraught that she couldn't even stand still. Su Pei hurriedly came over to help Xue Ye.
"Um, I'm afraid Your Majesty has misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was that His Highness the Crown Prince is dead, not that His Highness the Crown Prince is dead. His Highness the Crown Prince's poison has been cured by me," the imperial doctor said awkwardly.
Xue Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, pointed at the imperial doctor and asked, "Can you tell me clearly, what's wrong with Qinghe?"
The imperial doctor tremblingly replied: "Your Majesty, although the poison has been cured, the damage to the body is difficult to repair. Therefore, I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to have any children in the future."
"What did you say!" Xue Ye was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
"Your Majesty must ensure the dragon body!" Su Pei came over to help Xue Ye.
Xue Ye looked at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Who else knows about this matter?"
The imperial doctor replied: "After I detoxified His Highness the Crown Prince, I didn't tell anyone about it. Not even the Crown Princess knew about it, so I hurried over."
Xue Ye sat back on the chair unsteadily, her eyes lost their luster, as if she had aged more than ten years in an instant, without saying a word.
Su Pei winked at the imperial doctor, who excused himself and quietly left.
Xue Ye's expression couldn't help changing. It was obvious that he was struggling fiercely in his heart. After a long time, Xue Ye finally made up his mind and stood up from his seat.
"Su Pei, convey my decree and summon Prince Jade back to Tiandou City."
Su Pei responded and withdrew.
……
At this moment, Xue Qinghe was resting in the side hall.
Within a soul barrier that can isolate sounds, Xue Qinghe was telling Su Jingwen what happened.
"Your Highness, you scared me to death, so that's what happened!" Su Jingwen patted her chest with lingering fear.
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly: "Elder Ayurveda is best at using poison. The person who poisoned me is myself. In addition, the imperial doctor is one of ours. The whole plan is watertight. It is impossible for the secret guards to find out the truth."
Su Jingwen sighed: "Your Highness, although this can be done once and for all, your inhumanity has been known to His Majesty. I am afraid that your position as Prince will also be shaken. Perhaps His Majesty has already made a decision."
Xue Qinghe shook his head: "Jingwen, it is no longer important to me to fight for the throne today, just do whatever Xue Ye likes."
Su Jingwen said in surprise: "Your Highness, why do you still stay in the Tiandou Empire?"
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly: "Because of one person, I want to pave the way for one person. She has paid so much for me, and the Tiandou Emperor is my reward for her."
Su Jingwen rolled her eyes, leaned into Xue Qinghe's ear and blew softly: "It must be His Royal Highness Prince Jade."
Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded, giving Su Jingwen a positive answer.
Su Jingwen sighed: "Sometimes, I really envy the relationship between you. Both of you can give everything for each other without asking for anything in return. Why isn't there such a person beside me?"
Xue Qinghe held one of Su Jingwen's hands and patted the back of her hand gently with the other hand: "Jingwen, it was me who harmed you. If you had not married me, maybe you could meet the one in your heart." that person."
Su Jingwen shook her head: "Emotional matters are too illusory. There are many people who spend their whole lives unable to find the person in their hearts. Besides, I have never regretted marrying you. Because of marrying you, I Only by being so close to the center of power of the Tiandou Empire can I learn many things that I couldn't learn before. Maybe this is what you said, a blessing in disguise."
Xue Qinghe looked helplessly at Su Jingwen. Su Jingwen was a strange woman with a talent for singing. No matter what, it was he who delayed this woman's prime years and got her involved in the political whirlpool of the Tiandou Empire. Xue Qinghe I feel very guilty for Su Jingwen.
Su Jingwen noticed the guilt in Xue Qinghe's eyes and chuckled: "Your Highness, you don't have to be like this. In fact, I am living a good life now. Besides, it is my honor to serve you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.
……
Tianxue City, Prince Jade's Mansion.
Xue Ke was holding the Dark Flame Saber and practicing his sword skills.
While practicing, Xue Ke recalled his previous battles, summarizing the gains and losses of each battle, the battle with Bibi Dong, the battle with Chen Xin, the battle with Tang San in the Elite Tournament, the battle in the Killing City .
Xue Ke gradually gained a sense of enlightenment, and gradually became more comfortable practicing sword skills.
Every time the sword is swung, whether it is cutting or chopping, there is a mysterious truth in it.Unknowingly, Xue Ke was immersed in the wonderful and ingenious sword skills, completely forgetting everything in the world. This wonderful feeling has not been experienced for a long time since Xue Ke learned the sword skills.
The knife in Xue Ke's hand was very light, and the sound of piercing the air was reduced and turned into Shen Xiong's roar, which added to the chilling power.Xue Ke integrated the Guanzhan Flame Splitting Slash and the Knife Guarding Style. The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and it was both static and moving. When it was still, it was like a sea as flat as a mirror, and when it was moving, it was like an angry sea with turbulent waves and unpredictable changes.
Every gesture of Xue Ke's body is exquisite and every movement shows the limit of her physical ability. It is both elegant and fierce, forming a breathtaking momentum.
Half an hour later, Xue Ke put away the sword and stopped practicing. He held the sword backhand in his hand and stood tall and tall, standing tall and still, as calm as water, but his whole body contained explosive power and murderous intent.
A clear child's voice came from behind.
"Sister, it's time to eat!"
Xiao Weixi walked toward Xue Ke, sweating profusely, and she had obviously just finished practicing Wu Qin Xi.
Xueke put away the knife and carried Xiao Weixi to the restaurant.
Looking at Xiao Weixi devouring food in front of her, Xueke felt very pleased.
After more than a month of exercise and supplementation, Wei Xi's physique has returned to normal, and is even much stronger than the average child.
In this regard, Xue Ke had to sigh, Mr. Hua is Mr. Hua, and the things passed down are indeed extraordinary.
At night, Xue Ke was practicing alone in his room. Suddenly he felt something moving in the Tao Demon Space. He suddenly opened his eyes, opened the space passage and walked in. He found Qian Renxue sitting on a futon eating braised donuts.
Xue Ke raised her eyebrows: "Sister Xue, how are you? Are things going smoothly?"
Qian Renxue nodded lightly and said vaguely: "It went well together, your plan was successful."
Qian Renxue finished the food in her hands, clapped her hands, and then said: "By the way, I haven't visited your Prince's Mansion in Tianxue City yet, please take me there to see it."
Xue Ke said doubtfully: "Sister Xue, isn't this appropriate? If you come here past me, if you want to go back to Tiandou City, you will have to rush back by yourself. Is everything okay over there in Tiandou City?"
Qian Renxue smiled and said: "Jingwen and I have returned to the Prince's Mansion and announced that we would rest for half a month. Emperor Xueye has agreed. After you came out of the Killing City, apart from practicing every night, I have not done a good job I have been with you. Could it be that there is something shameful in your prince's palace?"
The thunder dragon claws and countless thunder and lightning were blocked one by one by the golden-red barrier.
"The sixth soul skill, Sky-breaking Dragon Roar!"
Yu Yuanzhen opened the dragon's mouth and let out a harsh dragon roar. In the dragon roar, several waist-thick thunder and lightning struck Yueguan.
"The fifth soul skill, kill hundreds of flowers in a thousand years!"
Autumn comes on September [-]th, and the mood of autumn is killing.
Countless golden-red petals fell one after another, instantly covering a hundred meters in the air. Each seemingly light petal concealed endless murderous intent. Several thunder and lightning collided with the petals, purple and golden-red intertwined, and finally it was golden-red. Gaining the upper hand, the purple thunder and lightning disappeared in the flower array.
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils shrank. This was a powerful attack he launched while in the state of his martial soul avatar, but it was easily resolved by Yue Guan's fifth soul skill.
"Master Jade, let me send you on your way."
Yueguan has no interest in playing with this old dragon anymore.
The seventh and ninth soul rings lit up, and Yue Guan launched the final massacre towards Yu Yuan Zhen.
"The ninth soul skill, the chrysanthemum is broken, the ground is full of injuries, and the flower is heartbroken!"
The brilliant golden red light instantly enveloped Yu Yuan Zhen and turned into countless crescent blades. The countless crescent blades rotated rapidly like tops, forming a huge golden red tornado, heading towards Yu Yuan Zhen with unparalleled momentum. go.
Yu Yuanzhen felt the wind roaring around him and the pressure doubled.
"The ninth soul skill, when the real dragon is angry, the sound shakes the heavens!"
Dragon roars sounded louder than before, and a large amount of thunder and lightning gathered into a huge thunder column, facing the golden and red tornado.
"boom--"
The entire sky seemed to explode under the attacks of the two. The aftermath of the two titled Douluo's attacks was such that the crowd below had to stop attacking and all used their soul power to resist.
When the light dissipated, Yue Guan still raised her orchid fingers contentedly, looking at Yu Yuan Zhen in the distance with a smile. She saw that Yu Yuan Zhen was covered in blood, with no intact part of his body, and was dying and crumbling.
"Tick."
A drop of dark red blood flowed from Yu Yuanzhen's body and landed on Yu Luo Mian's face below. Immediately afterwards, Yu Yuanzhen fell straight down.
"Brother!" Yu Luo Mian cried sadly.
After catching Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian checked the injuries on Yu Yuanzhen's body and found that Yu Yuanzhen's injuries were very serious and there were signs that the oil would run out.
Yue Guan put away his playful smile and said loudly in a majestic voice: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Kill me!"
The sound of Yueguan resounded throughout the mountain, and the members of Wuhun Palace once again launched a new round of offensive.
Ghost Douluo and the Ninth Elder frantically harvested the lives of the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, while Yueguan launched a fatal blow to Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen. In the end, these two brothers died together.
An hour later, more than [-] members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were all killed. Blood flowed like a river, and even the night was dyed with blood red.
Yueguan pulled off all three soul bones from Yu Yuanzhen's body. At the same time, the other members of the Spirit Hall were also quickly counting the loot.
After a while, all the treasures in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were taken away by Wuhun Palace. Yueguan ordered a head count. Wuhun Palace dispatched a total of more than 12 people this time, including three titled Douluo and 50 people. Soul Douluo, there are 500 soul saints, more than [-] soul emperors, and more than [-] soul kings.In this battle, Wuhun Palace wiped out more than [-] people from the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Sect, and lost nearly [-] people.
"withdraw!"
More than [-] members of the Wuhun Palace quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground.
……
Four days later, Wuhun City, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat majestically on the papal throne, quietly listening to the cardinal's report below.
"Your Majesty the Pope, we dispatched a total of 8000 people to surprise the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Except for a few disciples who are not in the sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family has been completely wiped out. We have lost a total of 465 people, and their remains have been transported. Go back for burial.”
"The Communist Party of China seized 2000 million gold soul coins and other valuables from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's residence. In addition, they also seized 8 soul bones, 3 of which came from the sect leader Yu Yuanzhen, and are all about 5 years old. , there are still three soul bones that are about 3 years old, and the remaining two soul bones are thousand-year soul bones. Now these trophies have been put into the warehouse, please accept His Majesty the Pope."
Bibi Dong stood up slowly and nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job this time. Send me an order. Everyone who participated in the soul hunting operation that night will be rewarded with 50 gold soul coins. Those who are injured and have not recovered, I will The meeting will personally send a healing soul master to treat you for free."
The cardinal expressed gratitude: "His Majesty the Pope is wise, thank you very much, Your Majesty the Pope!"
After the cardinal exited, Hu Liena, who had been standing behind Bibi Dong, said: "Teacher, I didn't expect this operation to go so smoothly. Now that one of the three upper sects has gone, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is intimidated by the power of my Wuhun Palace. They have already turned to us, and now only the Haotian Sect is left."
Bibi Dong said calmly: "Without Tang Hao, Tang Xiao and the five titled Douluo elders, the Haotian Sect is now a dog with a broken spine and can be destroyed with just one hand. Right now our main focus should be on the Tiandou Empire And the Star Luo Empire."
When Bibi Dong mentioned the Tiandou Empire, Hu Liena couldn't help but think of Xue Ke.
"Teacher, how is Xiaoke doing now?"
Since returning to Wuhun Hall, Hu Liena has been busy regulating her murderous aura and returning to a normal state of mind. She has not received any news about Xue Ke for a while.
"Xiao Ke is currently in her fiefdom, Tianxue City. She manages Tianxue City in an orderly manner and is quite loved by the local people. Why, we haven't seen her for more than half a month and you already miss her?" Bibi Dong said with a smile.
Hu Liena nodded in surprise and did not answer Bibi Dong's words.
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena who lowered her head and said nothing in confusion, her eyes slightly narrowed, and the woman's intuition told her that there must be an ulterior secret between the two people.
"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first." Hu Liena said.
Bibi Dong waved her hand helplessly. She didn't want to care about the trouble between Hu Liena and Xue Ke. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so let everything take its course.
……
Tiandou City, the Imperial Palace, and the Sleeping Palace on a snowy night.
"Snapped--"
Xue Ye was so angry that she almost smashed the table in front of her.
"It's too blatant, it's too blatant! What is Wuhun Palace doing? Do they really want to rule the entire continent? Do they really think that everyone in our Tiandou Empire is invincible?"
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has never expressed support for the Tiandou Empire, its headquarters is within the Tiandou Empire.Wuhundian openly committed crimes in the Tiandou Empire, which clearly showed that he did not take the Tiandou Empire seriously.
At this time, in this dormitory, besides Xue Ye, there were also Prince Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Su Pei and several important officials of the empire.
Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi's acting skills were at their peak, their faces were livid, and they pretended to look worried, but in fact they had already known about Wuhun Palace's soul hunting operation beforehand.
"Father, calm down, it is not appropriate for us to fight head-on with Wuhun Palace now. Wuhun Palace not only controls nearly [-]% of the soul masters in the entire continent, but also has many of their minions in the principalities and kingdoms within the empire. In recent years, , Wuhundian has also gradually taken control of the economic lifeline of our Tiandou Empire through its company. The most important thing for our Tiandou Empire right now is to figure out a way to save ourselves."
Xue Ye took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and asked: "Qinghe, what do you think we should do now?"
Xue Qinghe thought for a moment and said: "My son believes that our most important task at the moment is to control as many troops as possible. Although our Tiandou Empire claims to have a million-strong army, in fact, the army controlled by our royal family is But there are not so many. Among the kingdoms and principalities that are nominally surrendered to our Tiandou royal family, I don’t know how many people have different intentions, are waiting and watching, or have been bribed by Wuhun Palace. We want to conquer these kingdoms and principalities Only when we have the army in our hands can we have the capital to compete with Wuhun Palace."
Xue Ye sighed: "Qinghe, it is not that simple to solve this problem. If you are not careful, I am afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of various kingdoms and principalities and force them to fall to Wuhun Palace. This is our Tiandou Empire This problem has existed since the founding of the country, and successive emperors have tried various methods, but with little success."
"Besides, even if we can summon an army of millions, the army will be useless in front of truly powerful soul masters. Wuhun Palace has at least [-] soul masters in its hands, and its high-end combat power is even more crushing. Overwhelmed my Tiandou Empire."
Ning Fengzhi said: "Your Majesty, you must not be discouraged. The Tiandou Empire still has some time to prepare. According to my guess, the Wuhun Palace's first priority now is to eliminate the three upper sects. At present, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has been destroyed. The next targets of Wuhun Palace will be our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the reclusive Haotian Sect. Before Wuhun Palace destroys the last three sects, I am afraid they will not take any large-scale action against the Tiandou Empire."
Xue Ye nodded, feeling that Ning Fengzhi's words made sense.
"Everyone except Qinghe, please go down first." Xue Ye said.
After Ning Fengzhi and several important ministers went out, Xue Ye took out a document from Su Pei and showed it to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe spread it out and found out that it was about Xue Ke's recent deeds.
There was a soft look in Xue Ye's eyes. At this moment, he was no longer the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, but an old father who was dying.
"Xiao Ke is not only gifted in cultivation, but his talent in governing the country is not inferior to that of your brother. Xiao Ke may be the only hope for our Tiandou Empire. I only hope that she can grow up as soon as possible, and in the future Able to lead an army to protect the glory of our Tiandou royal family."
Xue Qinghe smiled and said: "Father, Xiaoke will never let you down. She has never let us down."
Xue Ye turned around and looked at Xue Qinghe with burning eyes: "Qinghe, don't you blame me?"
Xue Qinghe naturally understood what Xue Ye meant. Xue Ke was supported by Xue Ye to check and balance him. Now Xue Ke received even more favors than him, the prince.
There was a hint of tenderness in Xue Qinghe's eyes: "Xiao Ke is indeed better than me in all aspects, but no matter what happens, my relationship with her will never change."
These words were Xue Qinghe's heartfelt words. Xue Ye saw that Xue Qinghe spoke sincerely, and her doubts disappeared a lot.
Xue Ye's biggest worry is that the tragedy of the second and third princes will happen again to Xue Ke, the most ruthless emperor's family!
Xue Ye said with concern: "Qinghe, now the state affairs are heavy, but my father's health is getting worse day by day, and I have left many affairs to you to handle. I know that you are diligent, but you must also pay attention to your health and not overdo it. Work hard.”
"Thank you for your consideration, Father. Serving the country is your duty as a minister." Xue Qinghe replied.
"Qinghe, it is important to help my father with government affairs, but it is also a major matter for the country to produce heirs for the royal family. I have also heard about you and the Crown Princess. You two have been married for several years, but you are busy with government affairs all day long and sleeping with the Crown Princess. The number of visits is very few and I have nothing to do so far. Would you like me, father, to give you a few days off so that I can make some time for you?"
Xue Qinghe cursed, even if I had enough time, it would be impossible to have a baby with her.
"Thank you for your concern, father. The country is in crisis right now. How can I delay national affairs because of family affairs? I will take the time to get closer to the Crown Princess." Xue Qinghe said perfunctorily.
Xue Ye is an old man, and Xue Qinghe's perfunctory attitude is nowhere to be seen. However, there is no good way to persuade Xue Qinghe at the moment. We can't send someone to tie him up with the princess.
"Okay, you go down first."
"My son retire."
After seeing Xue Qinghe go out, Xue Ye asked Su Pei on the side: "Have all the secret guards found out?"
Su Pei hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say to Xue Ye.
Xue Ye sighed: "Tell me, no matter what the situation is, I can accept it."
Su Pei said cautiously: "According to the secret guard's report, His Highness the Crown Prince has not been blessed by any woman so far. On the night of the wedding of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, there was no movement in the bridal chamber. I found an experienced female secret guard. I went to inquire and found that the Crown Princess is still a virgin until now. Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince may..."
Su Pei didn't dare to say the next thing. In this situation, there were only two possibilities. Xue Qinghe was either not good at it, or he was gay.
After listening to Su Pei's report, Xue Ye's face suddenly darkened.
In the past, Xue Ye thought that Xue Qinghe was doing well and not acting as recklessly as Xue Beng.But what happened between Xue Qinghe and Su Jingwen made Xue Ye suddenly suspicious, and she began to doubt Xue Qinghe's problem.
Xue Ye recalled the tenderness and love in Xue Qinghe's eyes when he was talking about Xue Ke. Xue Qinghe's expression was very strange, and Xue Ye immediately thought of the third possibility...
Xue Ye's heart suddenly sank. If he really guessed the real reason, then this incident would probably become the biggest scandal for the Tiandou royal family.
Xue Ye had a gloomy face, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Su Pei was as silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.
Xue Ye thought that since Xue Ke was a child, Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke, brother and sister, had often lived together. Xue Ye thought at first that the two were brothers and sisters, so they didn't care much.But considering Xue Qinghe's current situation, Xue Ye felt more and more that his guess was probably true.
Xue Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. He must not allow this kind of thing to develop. As the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, he must completely cut off this abnormal relationship and maintain the majesty of the royal family.
"Call the Crown Princess to come over. I have something to say to her."
Su Pei responded: "Yes!"
……
Prince's Mansion, back garden.
Su Jingwen was in the pavilion, sipping tea and carefully reading the "Ten Essentials of Political Affairs" in her hand.
Due to her low cultivation talent, Su Jingwen spent most of her time reading books since she was a child, and was particularly interested in the history and politics of Douluo Continent. Su Jingwen read a lot of books, and her knowledge was no worse than those of the courtiers.
Since marrying Xue Qinghe, Su Jingwen, who has been neglected, has nothing to do and spends most of her time studying political affairs.
From the Ming Dynasty to the present, the more Su Jingwen studied, the more she wanted to change the world.
A maid came forward and said, "Your Royal Highness, Eunuch Su invites you."
Su Jingwen put away her books and came to the living room to see Su Pei.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come with me now," Su Pei said.
Su Jingwen was a little confused. Xue Ye rarely summoned her. She only met Xue Ye once during family banquets. Now, Xue Ye sent his closest eunuch to summon her. She didn't know what was being sold in the gourd. What medicine.
Su Jingwen followed Su Pei into the palace and came to Xue Ye's study.
"See Father." Su Jingwen knelt down and saluted.
"Be flat."
Su Jingwen looked up and found that there were only two people, Xue Ye and her, in the huge study at this moment, and her doubts became even more intense.
"Jingwen, you and Qinghe have been married for more than four years, right?" Xue Ye said calmly.
"Yes, Father." Su Jingwen secretly guessed that what Xue Ye was going to say was related to Xue Qinghe.
"In the past four years, you two have done nothing. I know this is not your problem. I called you here today just to help you solve this problem. There is a box on the table. Open it and take a look."
After hearing Xue Ye's words, Su Jingwen was slightly shocked, but her face remained calm. She walked to the table aside and opened the box Xue Ye mentioned. A small packet of strangely colored powder came into view.
"I will send someone to bring you and Qinghe two glasses of wine at the palace dinner tomorrow. You and Qinghe will stay in the palace that night."
Hearing this, Su Jingwen still didn't understand what Xue Ye meant.
"Father, isn't this good? His Highness may not be happy with it." Su Jingwen said anxiously.
Xue Ye stared at Su Jingwen with burning eyes: "Then how long do you and your wife want me to wait? For the sake of the dignity of the royal family and the future of the prince, as the crown prince of my Tiandou Empire, you must do this. If If you don’t want to, I can let someone else do it.”
Su Jingwen was intimidated by Xue Ye's power and did not dare to speak anymore. Moreover, it was not wise to disobey Xue Ye's order in person.
"My son, I know." Su Jingwen lowered her head and said, while also thinking of countermeasures in her mind.
Xue Ye sighed: "Don't blame me for being too harsh on you. I just learned about this matter, and I'm just as depressed as you are. Qinghe has neglected you for so long, don't you want to fly with him?" The imperial heir's affairs are state affairs. Although the means are not very glorious, for the sake of the overall situation, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
"I understand that if nothing happens to my father, I will resign." Su Jingwen bowed again.
Xue Ye waved her hand. Just as Su Jingwen was about to walk out of the study, Xue Ye suddenly said: "You don't want to go back to the Prince's Mansion today. Just stay in the palace. Qinghe will enter the palace at the dinner party tomorrow."
Su Jingwen secretly complained that Xue Ye was afraid that she would be tipped off, so she kept her in the palace.
"My son obeys the order."
Su Jingwen followed a eunuch to a side hall. Su Jingwen pointed to a certain room and said, "I will live in this room and ask the palace maid Xiaoyuan to serve me."
The eunuch responded respectfully and soon brought the palace maid Xiaoyuan.
Su Jingwen pulled Xiaoyuan into the room and closed the door.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess, what do you need from your slave?"
Su Jingwen winked at Xiaoyuan, and then said: "I want to take a shower and change clothes, so go and get ready."
Xiaoyuan is one of the people placed in the palace by Wuhundian to facilitate movement.
In the bathroom next door, Xiaoyuan prepared bath water. Su Jingwen walked in and pulled Xiaoyuan into the bathtub together.
Su Jingwen leaned into Xiaoyuan's ear and said: "Tell the prince quickly, His Majesty wants to cheat on the drinks at tomorrow's dinner party, and wants to keep His Royal Highness and me living in the palace. Please come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. "
Xiaoyuan said softly "Hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
"There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and secret guards are all over the palace, so be careful." Su Jingwen reminded.
"The servant knows."
……
At night, the palace maid Xiaoyuan passed Su Jingwen's words to the Prince's Mansion through the hidden line buried in the palace by Wuhun Palace.
"Snapped--"
Xue Qinghe slapped the table, his face turned red with anger.
Xue Ye might have guessed something, so he came up with such a despicable plan.
What Xue Qinghe is most worried about now is not tomorrow's dinner, but how to solve the problem once and for all and dispel Xue Ye's thoughts.
Entering the Dao Demon Space, Xue Qinghe transformed into Qian Renxue again and told Xue Ke everything.
Xue Ke lowered his head and pondered, this matter was indeed difficult to handle.
"Sister Xue, it seems that the pressure put on my father by Wuhun Palace is not enough. My father, who is so shameless, still has time to think about such things. It is not that this problem cannot be solved, I just want to wrong you, Sister Xue." Xue Ke said.
Qian Renxue's golden eyes lit up, and her face showed joy: "Xiao Ke, do you have a solution?"
Xue Ke smiled mysteriously: "Let's wait until mother comes."
……
The next day, there was a dinner at Tiandou Palace.
Xue Ye took a seat at the main seat, while Xue Qinghe and the Crown Princess sat at the bottom.
On a snowy night, after inviting everyone to eat, they struck each other with their palms and made a crisp sound. A group of nearly two hundred beautiful singing and dancing girls, wearing various long gowns made of translucent light materials, danced into the hall gracefully. Singing and dancing.With her breasts and jade legs hidden, the singer and dancer made all kinds of graceful gestures, which made people fascinated. Xue Ye and the nobles present were all looking at her with lust and high-fives to cheer her up.
Banquets are sometimes really good. In the unnecessary entertainment and vulgar joy, it is easy for people to forget themselves in self-narcosis.
Xue Qinghe watched the singing and dancing girls singing fairy tunes, dancing gracefully and gracefully, as erratic as gods, and couldn't help but think of Xue Ke.
If Xue Ke starts to dance, her dancing will be stunning. She must let Xue Ke dance for her one day.
Xue Ye glanced at Xue Qinghe, and saw that Xue Qinghe seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, and his mind was not on singing and dancing at all. His heart suddenly sank, which confirmed his guess.
After dancing, the singer and dancer retreated, leaving behind a palace full of fragrance.
Xue Ye gave Su Pei a wink. Su Pei understood and asked his servants to bring fresh drinks to Xue Qinghe and Su Jingwen.
Su Jingwen looked at the wine glass in front of her and her expression changed slightly. She didn't know what countermeasures Xue Qinghe had to solve the problem.
Xue Qinghe picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly: "Jingwen, come here, let me toast you."
Seeing that Xue Qinghe still looked gentle and elegant, Su Jingwen relaxed a little and raised her wine glass to drink with Xue Qinghe. Both of them drank the wine in the glass completely.
Xue Ye touched his beard and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Maybe after tonight, he would soon have a grandson in his arms.
The banquet was still going on, the sound of silk and bamboo could not be heard, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the banquet.
Xue Qinghe's complexion gradually turned red, his chest heaved violently, his breathing was heavy, and his condition was obviously not right.
Seeing that the medicine had taken effect, Xue Ye glanced at Su Pei and asked him to take the couple to the side hall. However, before Su Pei could go there, something unexpected happened.
Xue Qinghe's complexion suddenly turned from red to green, and he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood with a "wow" sound, then fell forward and passed out.
"Your Highness!" Su Jingwen exclaimed.
Everyone at the banquet looked over, and exclamations suddenly sounded in the hall.
Su Jingwen helped Xue Qinghe up, and saw that Xue Qinghe's face turned green and his lips turned black. He was obviously poisoned.
When Xue Ye saw this, he was shocked and angry. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Send to the imperial doctor quickly!"
At this point, the banquet ended unhappy.
……
Inside the bedroom.
Xue Qinghe was unconscious, his breath seemed very weak, and he was lying motionless on the bed. Next to him, an imperial doctor was treating Xue Qinghe.
Su Jingwen sat aside with tears in her eyes, wiping the tears from her face and sobbing gently.
The imperial doctor turned around and said to Xue Ye: "His Royal Highness is poisoned by a strong poison. I can't think of a way to detoxify it now. Time is running out. I can only use soul skills to suppress the poison in His Highness' body first. Save the life of His Royal Highness, and find a way to detoxify it in the future."
Xue Ye said anxiously: "The imperial doctor should treat him quickly."
The imperial doctor released his martial soul and soul skills and began to treat Xue Qinghe. Half an hour later, the imperial doctor's soul power was exhausted and he ended the treatment. Xue Qinghe's complexion had improved slightly.
The imperial doctor pricked one of Xue Qinghe's fingers with a golden needle and took a small bottle of blood.
"Your Majesty, I will go back to study the antidote method, so I will take my leave first."
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor, please go back quickly."
This imperial doctor was already the most skilled and experienced in the palace. If even he could not develop an antidote, then Xue Qinghe would have no choice but to wait for death.
Xue Ye and Su Jingwen came to the bed. Su Jingwen held one of Xue Qinghe's hands, the worry in her eyes still unabated.
Seeing that Xue Qinghe was okay for the time being, Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and then strode out of the dormitory. Su Pei was standing at the door.
"Have you found out? Who is so bold as to dare to murder my prince!" Xue Ye was furious.
Su Pei knelt down: "My subordinates are incompetent. The secret guards have checked all the clues, but they can't find out who the murderer is."
Xue Ye knew the power of the secret guard, but he never expected that he couldn't even detect the secret guard.
Xue Ye narrowed her eyes slightly and remained silent. Su Pei was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
After a long time, Xue Ye said in a deep voice: "Tell me, is it possible that Xue Xing did this?"
Su Pei broke out in a cold sweat. There were quite a few cases of poisoning and harming people among the royal family. Xue Xing had always been at odds with Xue Qinghe. This was well known to everyone in the government and the public.What happened to Xue Qinghe would be most beneficial to Xue Xing's side, and Xue Xing's suspicion was indeed high.
"My subordinates believe that the person who poisoned the palace is very familiar with the affairs of the palace, so he was able to make this matter watertight, without leaving any clues, and not even the secret guards could find out." Su Pei said in a trembling voice.
Xue Ye didn't want to embarrass Su Pei anymore, so she sighed and said, "Get up first."
Xue Ye returned to his bedroom and thought about the whole thing carefully, becoming more and more suspicious of Xue Xing.
Xue Xing is ambitious, Xue Ye knows this, otherwise Xue Xing would not spare no effort to support Xue Beng.Only Xue Xing has the power to poison Xue Qinghe at the palace banquet without anyone noticing.
Xue Ye recalled the scene when Xue Xing saw Xue Qinghe being poisoned and comatose. At that time, Xue Xing appeared very frightened and worried, but the joy in his eyes was still captured by Xue Ye.
A hint of murderous intent flashed through Xue Ye's eyes. If Xue Qinghe died because of this, he would never let Xue Xing go.
Xue Ye immediately thought that if Xue Qinghe really died, and his son would be left with only Xue Beng, would he really want to make this ignorant and useless prince the crown prince and hand over the Tiandou Empire to him?
Nowadays, the Wuhun Palace is becoming more and more rampant, and the military fronts are all frightening. The situation of the Tiandou Empire is becoming more and more critical. If the Tiandou Empire is handed over to a playboy like Xue Beng, it will be tantamount to handing over the Tiandou Empire. To Wuhun Palace.
Thinking of this, Xue Ye put her hand on her forehead and felt a headache.
Xue Ye looked at the Pi Xiu on the table, which was the birthday gift given to him by Xue Ke, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Perhaps, even if there is no Xueqinghe, it is not necessary to choose avalanche.
Although this kind of thing is unprecedented in the Tiandou Empire, under today's severe situation, coupled with Xue Ke's own strength and status, it is not impossible.
Xue Ye sighed. It was still unknown whether Xue Qinghe could recover. All plans had to wait until the outcome of the matter came out.
……
Three days later, Xue Qinghe gradually woke up after taking the antidote developed by the imperial physician.
"Your Highness, it's great that you finally woke up!" Su Jingwen threw herself on Xue Qinghe and cried sadly.
The imperial doctor ordered: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, I will go back to report to Your Majesty first. Could you please take good care of the Crown Prince here?"
Su Jingwen nodded, and the imperial doctor withdrew and came to Xue Ye's study.
There were piles of memorials on the desk. I was dealing with government affairs on a snowy night. When I saw the imperial doctor coming in, I quickly put down what I was doing and asked, "How's it going? Can the prince be saved?"
The imperial doctor knelt down with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am incompetent, and His Royal Highness is dying."
Xue Ye felt like the world was spinning. His best son was gone like this?
Xue Ye was so distraught that she couldn't even stand still. Su Pei hurriedly came over to help Xue Ye.
"Um, I'm afraid Your Majesty has misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was that His Highness the Crown Prince is dead, not that His Highness the Crown Prince is dead. His Highness the Crown Prince's poison has been cured by me," the imperial doctor said awkwardly.
Xue Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, pointed at the imperial doctor and asked, "Can you tell me clearly, what's wrong with Qinghe?"
The imperial doctor tremblingly replied: "Your Majesty, although the poison has been cured, the damage to the body is difficult to repair. Therefore, I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to have any children in the future."
"What did you say!" Xue Ye was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
"Your Majesty must ensure the dragon body!" Su Pei came over to help Xue Ye.
Xue Ye looked at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Who else knows about this matter?"
The imperial doctor replied: "After I detoxified His Highness the Crown Prince, I didn't tell anyone about it. Not even the Crown Princess knew about it, so I hurried over."
Xue Ye sat back on the chair unsteadily, her eyes lost their luster, as if she had aged more than ten years in an instant, without saying a word.
Su Pei winked at the imperial doctor, who excused himself and quietly left.
Xue Ye's expression couldn't help changing. It was obvious that he was struggling fiercely in his heart. After a long time, Xue Ye finally made up his mind and stood up from his seat.
"Su Pei, convey my decree and summon Prince Jade back to Tiandou City."
Su Pei responded and withdrew.
……
At this moment, Xue Qinghe was resting in the side hall.
Within a soul barrier that can isolate sounds, Xue Qinghe was telling Su Jingwen what happened.
"Your Highness, you scared me to death, so that's what happened!" Su Jingwen patted her chest with lingering fear.
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly: "Elder Ayurveda is best at using poison. The person who poisoned me is myself. In addition, the imperial doctor is one of ours. The whole plan is watertight. It is impossible for the secret guards to find out the truth."
Su Jingwen sighed: "Your Highness, although this can be done once and for all, your inhumanity has been known to His Majesty. I am afraid that your position as Prince will also be shaken. Perhaps His Majesty has already made a decision."
Xue Qinghe shook his head: "Jingwen, it is no longer important to me to fight for the throne today, just do whatever Xue Ye likes."
Su Jingwen said in surprise: "Your Highness, why do you still stay in the Tiandou Empire?"
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly: "Because of one person, I want to pave the way for one person. She has paid so much for me, and the Tiandou Emperor is my reward for her."
Su Jingwen rolled her eyes, leaned into Xue Qinghe's ear and blew softly: "It must be His Royal Highness Prince Jade."
Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded, giving Su Jingwen a positive answer.
Su Jingwen sighed: "Sometimes, I really envy the relationship between you. Both of you can give everything for each other without asking for anything in return. Why isn't there such a person beside me?"
Xue Qinghe held one of Su Jingwen's hands and patted the back of her hand gently with the other hand: "Jingwen, it was me who harmed you. If you had not married me, maybe you could meet the one in your heart." that person."
Su Jingwen shook her head: "Emotional matters are too illusory. There are many people who spend their whole lives unable to find the person in their hearts. Besides, I have never regretted marrying you. Because of marrying you, I Only by being so close to the center of power of the Tiandou Empire can I learn many things that I couldn't learn before. Maybe this is what you said, a blessing in disguise."
Xue Qinghe looked helplessly at Su Jingwen. Su Jingwen was a strange woman with a talent for singing. No matter what, it was he who delayed this woman's prime years and got her involved in the political whirlpool of the Tiandou Empire. Xue Qinghe I feel very guilty for Su Jingwen.
Su Jingwen noticed the guilt in Xue Qinghe's eyes and chuckled: "Your Highness, you don't have to be like this. In fact, I am living a good life now. Besides, it is my honor to serve you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.
……
Tianxue City, Prince Jade's Mansion.
Xue Ke was holding the Dark Flame Saber and practicing his sword skills.
While practicing, Xue Ke recalled his previous battles, summarizing the gains and losses of each battle, the battle with Bibi Dong, the battle with Chen Xin, the battle with Tang San in the Elite Tournament, the battle in the Killing City .
Xue Ke gradually gained a sense of enlightenment, and gradually became more comfortable practicing sword skills.
Every time the sword is swung, whether it is cutting or chopping, there is a mysterious truth in it.Unknowingly, Xue Ke was immersed in the wonderful and ingenious sword skills, completely forgetting everything in the world. This wonderful feeling has not been experienced for a long time since Xue Ke learned the sword skills.
The knife in Xue Ke's hand was very light, and the sound of piercing the air was reduced and turned into Shen Xiong's roar, which added to the chilling power.Xue Ke integrated the Guanzhan Flame Splitting Slash and the Knife Guarding Style. The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and it was both static and moving. When it was still, it was like a sea as flat as a mirror, and when it was moving, it was like an angry sea with turbulent waves and unpredictable changes.
Every gesture of Xue Ke's body is exquisite and every movement shows the limit of her physical ability. It is both elegant and fierce, forming a breathtaking momentum.
Half an hour later, Xue Ke put away the sword and stopped practicing. He held the sword backhand in his hand and stood tall and tall, standing tall and still, as calm as water, but his whole body contained explosive power and murderous intent.
A clear child's voice came from behind.
"Sister, it's time to eat!"
Xiao Weixi walked toward Xue Ke, sweating profusely, and she had obviously just finished practicing Wu Qin Xi.
Xueke put away the knife and carried Xiao Weixi to the restaurant.
Looking at Xiao Weixi devouring food in front of her, Xueke felt very pleased.
After more than a month of exercise and supplementation, Wei Xi's physique has returned to normal, and is even much stronger than the average child.
In this regard, Xue Ke had to sigh, Mr. Hua is Mr. Hua, and the things passed down are indeed extraordinary.
At night, Xue Ke was practicing alone in his room. Suddenly he felt something moving in the Tao Demon Space. He suddenly opened his eyes, opened the space passage and walked in. He found Qian Renxue sitting on a futon eating braised donuts.
Xue Ke raised her eyebrows: "Sister Xue, how are you? Are things going smoothly?"
Qian Renxue nodded lightly and said vaguely: "It went well together, your plan was successful."
Qian Renxue finished the food in her hands, clapped her hands, and then said: "By the way, I haven't visited your Prince's Mansion in Tianxue City yet, please take me there to see it."
Xue Ke said doubtfully: "Sister Xue, isn't this appropriate? If you come here past me, if you want to go back to Tiandou City, you will have to rush back by yourself. Is everything okay over there in Tiandou City?"
Qian Renxue smiled and said: "Jingwen and I have returned to the Prince's Mansion and announced that we would rest for half a month. Emperor Xueye has agreed. After you came out of the Killing City, apart from practicing every night, I have not done a good job I have been with you. Could it be that there is something shameful in your prince's palace?"
