The imperial capital, the palace.

The complacent and energetic second prince stood in front of the old emperor who had been told that the empire was recuperating due to illness. He was accompanied by a man with a delicate face. The two showed their intimacy in front of the old emperor without any hesitation.

The old emperor had long been exhausted by the palace changes made by this unfilial son and outsiders. It didn't take long. Compared with when he presided over the royal hunting, he suddenly looked older by more than ten years, and he already showed his old appearance.The swollen eyes were full of anger and hatred. She wished she had never given birth to this prince, and regretted pampering him in the past and giving him power and raising his heart.

"He is your elder brother. Let him go and give him a fief away from the imperial capital, so that he will not affect your position. What are you worried about?" Thinking of the unknown life and death of his eldest son, the old emperor's heart was in a trance Blood dripping, the empire has been at peace for so long, he never knew that those people would lie in ambush for such a long time and then hook up with the second son, and the bitch beside him is not a good thing either.

"Royal father said it easily. If I really let my elder brother out, how would I know if he would unite with other noble forces to oppose me. Royal father, if it were you, you would have kept such a big threat away from you instead of letting him go. Watching under your nose?" The second prince smiled indifferently, pinched the chins of the people around him, and didn't even give the old emperor a look. The best way is to make the threat disappear forever. If you don't support him, who else can you support?

"You—" the old emperor was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Of course, father, as long as you agree to my conditions, I am not incapable of compromise. Besides, at this time, what is the use of you holding that artifact? Anyway, it will be mine sooner or later, so why don't you exchange it?" Eldest brother and the lives of other nobles, it’s a good deal no matter what. Tsk tsk, father, if those old guys know that it’s because you refuse to exchange their lives with the artifact, what do you think they will think of you?” The prince laughed wildly, the uglier the old emperor's face was, the happier he was.

The old emperor was finally overwhelmed and spat out a mouthful of blood, fell on the bed and passed out.The second prince had no sympathy at all. He hugged the beautiful man and left the room without even looking at him. Now that the palace is under his control, there is no need to worry that the old emperor will go out: "Baby, you Tell me what you want, now that the empire is in my hands, what else can I not do? Just follow me and enjoy the happiness."

"Your Highness is wise and mighty. The eldest prince can't even catch up with His Highness. But I'm also surprised, where do you think His Majesty will hide the artifact? This palace has to be hollowed out, but the artifact cannot be found. Over there People are waiting to ask for it." The beautiful man is Ke Luosi, who is known as the awakener of the elf blood, and he seems anxious for the second prince.

"Hmph! I don't believe I can't force an answer. Just wait, the old thing won't last long." The second prince didn't expect the old royal to bite such a dead thing so tightly. In his opinion, even if it is an artifact It's just a dead thing, how can the power of the world be held in his hands, as long as he holds the greatest power, no matter how capable the martial artist, magician, and magwen master are, they will serve him and the royal family?

"I believe His Highness will get everything he wants."

The residence of the Lifa family.

The old Duke of Lifa is currently trapped in the mansion, and is under the strictest surveillance. However, the second prince does not dare to act rashly against the old prince. The second son of the old prince occupies an important position in the imperial army and is leading the army outside. His second son is completely in control, so the Lifa family does not pose a threat.

However, there is currently one person showing off his might, even daring to utter wild words to the old duke. He used to be like a cowardly mouse and beast in front of the old duke, but now that the second prince is in power, he is also starting to panic. Who dares to look down on Hua Jie?

"Grandfather, it will be a matter of time before the second prince ascends to the throne of God. Even His Majesty the Emperor wants to belong to the Second Highness, so why should grandfather argue with the Second Highness? After all, our Lifa family is not loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor." Hua Jie said disdainfully in his heart, as long as the second prince sits on the throne, will the Lifa family dare to disobey His Majesty's words?

"Get out." The old duke's voice was very flat, as if he was not angry at all, and he seemed to treat this illegitimate child as nothing. No matter how hard he jumped, the family would never have a chance to talk to him.

"Grandfather!" Hua Jie exclaimed incredulously, "Isn't everything I have done now not a proof of my ability? Why does my grandfather trust an outsider and refuse to listen to Hua Jie's advice? Look at him and the second prince. What is the end of the confrontation now, is grandfather going to see the Lifa family go to the end?"

"Throw out this ignorant man, together with his father." The old duke ordered lightly, still without looking at the illegitimate son. Throwing out was not only out of this room, but also out of the mansion of the Lifa family. From now on, the father and son will not be allowed to step into the family, which is almost equivalent to being expelled from the family.

Hua Jie couldn't believe what he heard, he thought that the second prince he followed had ascended to the throne, and his grandfather and everyone in the family would have to follow his face, but he didn't expect that the old duke didn't let him go at all. In his eyes, before he could resist, a black figure appeared beside the old duke, and as soon as he picked up Hua Jie, he quickly retreated.

After Hua Jie disappeared, a woman walked out from behind the bookshelf. It was Mrs. Elaine, the mother of Bo Lun, the daughter of the old Duke. .”

"You don't have to worry too much. Boy Bolun has already sent the news. He is now in the devil's abyss, and that boy Bemanlin is with him. You have to believe in his ability. They can come out of the devil's abyss. What I’m worried about is not their safety, but the situation of the empire and the future fate of the Lifa family.” The old duke’s heart has softened as he got older, especially for this daughter, he always feels indebted.

Mrs. Yilian is a strong woman, otherwise she would not choose to take her son and leave resolutely when she was betrayed by her husband, so at this moment, she did not show a gaffe because she was worried about her son. When she heard her father say: "Second prince He is unreliable, and most of the nobles in the empire will not accept his choice." Anyone with inside information knows that the second prince contacted outsiders to betray the old emperor. They were the ones who were directly impacted, and after calming down and thinking about it, Yi Lian also knew that the second prince would never be able to control the empire with these external forces.

"However, who is the second prince joining forces with? Who else is there besides those from the Langton Empire? What is their purpose?" Everyone knows that the Langton Empire has intervened, and this is what Yi Lian hates the most. , Thinking of what happened to Langton Empire back then, she wished she would never have anything to do with this empire again.

"Those people..." the old duke's voice dropped, he got up and walked to one side of the wall, stretched out his hand and scratched on the wall, after a while a secret door was revealed, the old duke opened it, and took out a book , and said to Elaine: "This is passed down from generation to generation in our Lifa family. Every successive duke needs to know this history so that he can take timely precautions in case of future crises. You should also read it."

A family that has been passed down for a long time will have some secrets of its own. Yilian took it over, and some unknown historical facts were written on each piece of exquisite animal skin with the most difficult-to-fading ink. Why didn't you compromise with the second prince? The crimes committed by those people are shared by all gods. If they are really allowed to steal the empire, it will bring endless disaster to the entire empire and even the mainland.

Yi Lian, who has always been strong, found that her hands were trembling. She closed the booklet with difficulty and closed her eyes, giving herself time to digest.

"There has been news from the palace that the purpose of the second prince is the imperial family's artifact. Those people even went so far as to subvert an empire for this artifact. It can be seen that this artifact is very important to them. From this point of view, I am afraid that Lan The Dun Empire... is also doomed."

The old duke looked in the direction of the palace. Before the old emperor handed over the artifact, at least his personal safety would be safe. The old emperor must have known it himself.In fact, for nobles like them, it really doesn't matter who is sitting on the throne, as long as they don't touch the interests of nobles like them.It's a pity that the empire, which had been stable for a long time, made them, including the old emperor, lose their vigilance, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"What is the artifact in the palace? It's so important?" Yilian opened her eyes again and looked at her father. She couldn't bear to worry about the family's survival at such an age, but without her father at the helm, I'm afraid they These juniors also had a hard time getting through.

"That artifact..." the old duke looked into the distance, as if thinking about something, and said, "It is said that the royal family members of the Asti Empire have dragon blood, and that artifact is related to the dragon blood. It is said that it is made of the dragon scales of the ancient golden dragon, and it will be able to exert the strongest power on those who bear the blood of the dragon. However, the blood that makes them proud has long been thinned out by generations of royal family members. The awakening of the dragon bloodline has never been seen."

"Na Bo Lun..." Mrs. Yi Lian's heart tightened. Will her child be in danger, and will the secret they have been hiding all along be exposed?

"Don't worry, apart from you and me, Bo Lun himself knows about this matter. The marriage between my Lifa family and the royal princess is not just once or twice, and it's not like other families have never married before. No one will doubt Bo Lun. Now that he is in the Demon Abyss, it is beneficial to him, maybe when he walks out of the Demon Abyss, he will become stronger." The old duke was relieved, no one would have thought that the dragon blood that had disappeared in the royal family would be Awakened in his grandson, the Gullant family would never have thought of what they were giving up.

"Well." On the balance, Elaine also felt that being in the Demon Abyss would make people feel more at ease. She should believe in her son's ability, and it would be safer only if his son became stronger as soon as possible. "Then what are the artifacts of the Langdon Empire? They Your royal family won't be burdened with some kind of blood power, right?"

"I have heard some rumors about this, but I can't be sure. I heard that it is a descendant of the blood of an ancient divine beast. It is estimated that the artifact is also related to this. I don't know which side their current emperor is on. "Although the old duke was trapped in the duke's mansion, the family's development power for many years has long been firmly rooted in the empire, and it is not easy to imprison his sources.
