Blue Wind Imperial City, the heart of the Imperial Palace.
Lan Xueruo walked in hasty footsteps, passed the heavy guard, and headed straight for the emperor's room. All the imperial guards along the way saluted one after another.
“Princess Cang Yue, you are back. The Emperor has been remembering you these past few days. "At the door to the emperor's room, a middle-aged eunuch bowed as he greeted him," Did you ask me to announce your arrival? "
"Not needed . '' Lan Xueruo shook her head and walked straight to the emperor's room.
Cang Wanhe, the ninth generation emperor of the Blue Wind Empire, led the land under the heavens, with a prestige that shook the four oceans. He would be fifty-six years old this year; while living in the imperial palace without worry, at this age, a king should show no signs of aging, he said, but Cang Wanhe was quietly lying on the bed with a puzzled expression. Even his gaze was dull and devoid of spirit, and he looked almost like seven or eighty years past his prime.
"Your Majesty, Princess Cang Yue has returned!" His personal eunuch entered with light footsteps, and reported with a happy expression.
Hearing this, Cang Wanhe's lifeless face revealed a hint of desire. His upper body moved, and he stood with great difficulty, “Quickly, quickly let him in. ”
Right after he spoke, Lan Xueruo walked in. Seeing the enthusiasm on Cang Wanhe's face and clear gaze, his heart clenched. With a quick step forward, she knelt down with both knees in front of Cang Wanhe, “Dad of the Kingdom, your daughter is unfilial, and has not visited you in a long time. ”
“Happy you're back, glad you're back, ah. "Cang Wanhe nodded cheerfully. At this moment, his face did not have the slightest hint of the imposing aura of a king, and only had the love that a normal father expressed towards his beloved daughter, “Wake up quickly. It's been three months since you last returned from New Moon City; during this time We couldn't eat or sleep well for fear something would happen to you. Haha, good nothing happened. ”
“This time your daughter found something trivial, a little late, and has been worrying about the royal father. "Lan Xueruo stood up, looked at her father's appearance, and suddenly showed a painful expression:" Royal father, your condition …. Why does this seem more serious? With Master Gu taking care of your illness personally, how could it be like this? "
"Ohuk uhuk… . "Cang Wanhe wanted to speak, but suffered from a great cough. He gasped for breath, and replied in a hoarse voice, “Maybe, we really have grown old. Although this disease is serious, with Master Gu, it still will not take Our lives immediately, but We will die sooner or later because of the unfilial children, cough cough cough cough …. ”
After saying those two sentences, Cang Wanhe once again suffered from a painful cough. Lan Xueruo immediately stepped forward and lightly patted her back.
At this time, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the door, “Reporting to my emperor, the crown prince wants to seek an audience. ”
Cang Wanhe's body stiffened, and Lan Xueruo's face also turned ugly. Next, a rumbling sound came from Cang Wanhe's mouth, “Tell him to get lost! We don't want to see it! "
“Aiyah, what makes the royal father so angry. Royal Father is in pain, you must take care of your body and avoid getting angry. ”
Along with the echo of that lazy voice, a young man of almost thirty years old who was wearing clothes full of golden patterns, both of his hands behind, walked into the room. As soon as he saw Lan Xueruo, he narrowed his eyes as he laughed, “My beloved sister, just a moment ago I heard from the servants that you have returned, you have returned, so how could I not hurry back immediately. I haven't seen you in just a few months, but I miss you a lot. ”
“You unfilial son, who let you in. Lost now! ”Cang Wanhe roared furiously while pointing a trembling finger.
"Dad of the kingdom, please don't be angry. Be careful not to injure your body, your son is only worried about Royal Father's illness, so your son specifically came to visit. If the royal father doesn't like my presence, your son will leave immediately. '' Prince Cang Lin said with a laugh. That lazy expression was not afraid of the emperor's anger in the slightest, and was even more lacking in respect or fear due to the consequences.
"Visiting?" Cang Wanhe laughed coldly, "Come to see if we suddenly die in bed? Let us tell you, as long as We still have the breath of life, never think of obtaining the title of emperor! And don't even expect that we'll order a title transfer! Lost now! "
"Royal father, why must you be so stubborn. "Prince Cang Lin frowned," What kind of existence was Xiao Sect? Now that I have gained the full support of the Xiao Sect, as long as I ascend the throne, the Xiao Sect will be used by me, Xiao Sect will be used by me, and our Blue Wind Imperial Family will only become more prosperous with a power that can shake the world …. ”
"Shut up… . Cough cough, cough cough cough…. "Cang Wanhe was so angry that his entire face turned red. His chest was violently up and down, “Sekte Xiao had lusted with the power of the Blue Wind Imperial Family for a long time, saying, but you unscrupulous sons really have the courage to lead wolves into the house.Even if you become emperor, the thousand-year legacy of our Blue Wind Imperial Family, is, we'll lose everything except our names, and we'll be their puppets! We have boasted a legendary reputation of martial power, but We have truly raised a group of unfilial children! Scram! Getting lost soon! "
Lan Xueruo also became furious, and clenched her hands tightly together. He could not contain his anger anymore, and said furiously, "Did you not hear what the royal father said! Get out now! Royal father and I don't want to see you again! "
“Tut tut, why do you have to be like this. "Cang Lin shook his head slightly, then grinned as he said," Royal father, you've been emperor for so many years; you have to give up. Even if you don't want to, sooner or later it will fall into my hands. So what if my beloved royal brother Cang Shuo has been affiliated with the Burning Heaven Clan? In my eyes, he has never been a competitor .. My dear sister, I have heard that these two years you have never lived in the Blue Wind Profound Palace, rather, you have been wandering outside. Are you looking for a life partner? Me, your brother, has many young and talented men. Do I need to request a meeting for the royal sisters? "
"Haha! Then your son will leave. '' Cang Lin released a wild laugh, and casually walked out with both hands behind his back.
“This group of unfilial sons.... unfilial children !! ”Cang Wanhe's entire face flushed red with anger as he shook from head to toe.
"Royal father, they've gone mad, they don't deserve to be angry. Your body is more important. ”Lan Xueruo patted her father's back while trying very hard to quell the anger in her heart.
After being silent for a while, Cang Wanhe finally looked calm. She laughed grimly and said, “Until now, We always thought that We always kept seven tiger cubs. To think that our seven sons .. were actually a pack of wolves. It is fortunate that heaven pityes me, and let Us have you for a daughter. Too bad you are a girl, otherwise, We will directly bequeath you the title of Emperor .. But if We really do this, it will incriminate you, these two unfilial sons; one colluded with the Xiao Sect, one colluded with the Burning Heaven Clan. Ah .. no matter which one eventually succeeds, our Blue Wind Imperial Family will become their puppets. ”
“Dad kingdom, you don't need to worry too much. I will definitely use all of my stopping them. '' Lan Xueruo bit her lips, and a faint layer of water could be seen from both of her eyes.
Cang Wanhe laughed as he shook his head, “These seven unfilial sons are divided into two factions, and the authority of the court is basically also in their hands. With the Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan hiddenly helping them, what can you do to stop them? We only hope that when that day comes, you will leave the imperial city; the further you hide, the better. I'm afraid these unfilial children will use you as pawns to get help .. If that happens, then We will actually roll over in Our graves. ”
"That won't happen, royal father. With Master Gu here, you will definitely recover from your illness and live to a hundred. '' Lan Xueruo said as she tried to hold back her tears, shaking her head very hard.
"Heh heh," Cang Wanhe laughed grimly. He was most clear about the condition of his own body. He had been suspicious the entire time, was this unexplainable disease the plot of Cang Lin, or Cang Shuo? He closed his eyes and said disappointedly, “We have been emperors for nineteen years, and only in the end did we find out that We were actually the failure of an emperor. In addition to raising these unfilial children, my first hope of the year. Our ascension to the throne is for our Blue Wind Imperial Family to remove our humiliation at the 'Blue Wind Ranking Tournament', but, during these nineteen years, all that We have received, has been, from time to time, humiliation never ends.As the imperial family of the great Blue Wind Empire, we suddenly, there has never been anyone who entered in the top hundred. From time to time, we have become the laughingstock of the world, and have never been able to raise our heads in front of those sects. What kind of sadness is this! ”
Lan Xueruo's eyes flickered and an image of Yun Che floated in her head. A warm feeling came from his heart, and greatly calmed him down. He softly replied, "Royal father, this wish will surely come true. These two years, your daughter has gone through many profound great palaces, and used the Secret Art of the Monarch Heart to search for such a person. Your daughter's efforts were not in vain; just half a month ago, your daughter had found such a person. This person has also been brought to the Blue Wind Profound Palace; your daughter will use all possible methods to make her enter the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament as the next representative of the Imperial Family … Your daughter believes that she will definitely be able to enter the top hundred, fulfill the request of the royal father and sweep away the imperial family of humiliation. ”
"One by one .. I was just afraid that we couldn't wait until then, coughing cough cough ..." Cang Wanhe once again went into a loud cough; his breathing also became rougher.
Lan Xueruo knew that with her father's current condition, she was unable to speak too much. He helped pull the blanket over his father, and said gently, “Dad, rest. You have to take care of your body. Your daughter still has something to attend to, I will come again tomorrow to visit the royal father .. Uncle Dong Fang, you must protect my father. ”
As soon as Lan Xueruo finished speaking, an old voice came out from the rooms, “Don't worry Your Majesty. With me here, no one can touch a single hair on the emperor's head. ”
Lan Xueruo gratefully nodded her head and left the emperor's room.
No one knew that this princess was also the youngest daughter of the Blue Wind Emperor, and how much pressure her weakness brought; or how many serious doubts were buried in her heart …
———————————————————
Central Plaza Blue Wind Profound Palace was huge, and since today was the last day of the year they were recruiting students, it was completely filled with a thick crowd of people. More than half were young profound practitioners who were being tested, the other half were Profound Palace disciples who had come to witness the excitement.
Although it was already the last day of the exam, the number of young profound practitioners being tested was still enormous. The entire examination was divided into three hundred groups and with Qin Wuyou's intervention, Yun Che was instantly placed into the ninety-nine group.
This test was divided into two parts, and each of them was the Profound Strength Assessment and Combat Strength Assessment. Although it sounds similar, the form of examination is fundamentally different.
