Now, Lu Lan was very surprised.
Originally listening to those rumors, he thought that the current Holy Emperor's condition was so serious that the situation between Huo Wuxuan and Huo Wuliang's fight for the throne became more and more serious.
Unexpectedly, Huo Wuxuan never thought of taking away the throne, but wanted his father to continue to sit in that position?
Seeing the surprised expression on Lu Lan's face, Huo Wuxuan also knew what he was thinking now, so he asked with a smile:
"How is it? Do you not believe what I said?"
No one else would believe what Huo Wuxuan said just now.
After all, in history, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to kill each other in order to compete for the throne.
"Of course I believe what His Highness said."
Lu Lan said: "However, your highness, can you tell me the reason?"
"the reason is simple."
Huo Wuxuan said lightly:
"My king's fifth brother...has a problem."
Huo Wuliang?
Lu Lan's heart trembled.
It seems that he will soon be exposed to some secrets of the royal family.
Mentioning this matter, Huo Wuxuan's face began to become solemn:
"Originally, the fifth brother didn't have much desire to compete for imperial power."
"His biggest wish is to one day wear armor and go to the battlefield in person to command the army in battle."
"But since he went to Evil Flame Mountain seven years ago, he has completely changed since he came back."
Evil Flame Mountain?
Lu Lan narrowed her eyes slightly.
"It sounds like this is the territory of the Evil Flame Sect?"
"Yes, this place is really weird."
Huo Wuxuan nodded and said:
"I wonder if Mr. Lu has heard that many years ago, there were actually only three major sects in Dawu Kingdom."
"They are Bailian Tianfu, Xuanyang Pavilion, and Yunhan Sect."
"But later, I heard that the founder of the Evil Flame Sect went to the Evil Flame Mountain and got some kind of opportunity, and founded the Evil Flame Sect."
"Then, the Evil Flame Sect suddenly began to grow, developing at a terrifying speed until it successively surpassed the three major sects and became the first sect in the Great Martial Kingdom."
"In only about a hundred years, we have surpassed the three major sects with a history of thousands of years..."
Huo Wuxuan took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Master Lu must also think that there is something strange about the Evil Flame Sect, right?"
After listening to Huo Wuxuan's story, Lu Lan also took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
However, the experience of Juku Mountain and the "God" of Hehuan Sect made him think of more.
Is there a so-called "god" on the Evil Flame Mountain?
If that's the case, that would be a bit troublesome.
"Initially, in order to eliminate all forces that threaten the status of the Dawu royal family, we had to suppress their development."
Huo Wuxuan said without any hesitation:
"But because the Evil Flame Sect is developing too fast, using force to deter it is not a good solution."
"So while we were fighting with Xieyan Menxu, we secretly sent people to Xieyan Mountain to investigate."
"But no matter who is sent, they will never come back."
Speaking of this, Huo Wuxuan sighed:
"This also confirms our guess about the Evil Flame Gate."
"It's just that we have never been able to attack the Evil Flame Sect."
"Once a conflict does break out, both sides will suffer."
"Later, the fifth brother volunteered and decided to lead dozens of elites to sneak up to Evil Flame Mountain."
"Once he discovers anything weird about Evil Flame Mountain, he will destroy it without hesitation."
"Afterwards, he came back alive, but his whole person changed."
Huo Wuxuan sighed heavily again.
The rest of the story is relatively simple.
Those elites did not come back with Huo Wuliang... According to Huo Wuliang, they died in Xieyan Mountain, and he survived by breaking out.
Only a few months had passed since his return.
Their father suddenly fell seriously ill, and the three imperial doctors were helpless.
In desperation, their father had no choice but to relinquish imperial power and let Huo Wuxuan handle all major affairs in the palace for him, gradually taking over some important powers.
But that's when.
Huo Wuliang suddenly jumped out, attracted a group of forces in the Imperial Palace, and began to compete with Huo Wuxuan for imperial power.
At that time, Huo Wuxuan noticed that every time he acted, there seemed to be the shadow of the Evil Flame Sect behind him.
In order to fight against the Evil Flame Sect, Huo Wuxuan also roped in Bailian Tianfu and Xuanyang Pavilion.
He also tried to win over Yunhan Sect several times, but failed.
This situation has remained until now.
After listening to the rest of the story, Lu Lan thought for a moment and asked:
"Then His Highness asked me to treat the Emperor. Will this be able to solve the current situation?"
Huo Wuxuan shook his head and said:
"I don't say it can be solved, but at least the group of people who took refuge with the fifth brother in the Imperial Palace should be able to return to my father's command."
"Although I have briefly controlled them, they are still very dissatisfied with me. Only when my father recovers can I order them to return to their hearts."
Hearing this, Lu Lan nodded.
For those people, only by allowing the current Holy Emperor to completely recover can it be possible for them to return to the service of the Dawu royal family.
In this way, the Dawu royal family, with the support of Bailian Tianfu and Xuanyang Pavilion, no longer have to worry about the huge losses that will be caused to them after launching a general attack on the Evil Flame Sect.
"Then can Your Highness inform me of the Emperor's physical condition?"
Huo Wuxuan told Lu Lan about the emperor's recent physical condition.
Then he said:
"But I hope Mr. Lu would better go and see it in person."
Naturally, Huo Wuxuan didn't think that Lu Lan could fully understand this weird disease by just recounting it.
At this time, Lu Lan suddenly remembered Dr. Li, and told Huo Wuxuan that he followed Huo Wuliang to Yunhan Sect to try to "treat" Luo Manhan.
"Huh? There is such a thing?!"
Huo Wuxuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
Obviously, even he didn't know about this kind of thing.
"Perhaps the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, and Dr. Li is very likely to know the reason."
Lu Lan raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Highness can try to interrogate Dr. Li when you get back."
"Hahaha, good! Mr. Lu, this news really comes at the right time!"
Huo Wuxuan raised the teacup in his hand and touched it with Lu Lan:
"I will offer tea instead of wine to Mr. Lu!"
After drinking a cup of tea, Huo Wuxuan suddenly spoke again:
"But apart from this matter, I also need to do another thing to get rid of Mr. Lu."
"Your Highness, please speak." Lu Lan said.
"Although our Dawu royal family is the organizer of the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament, we have long ago not wanted the first place reward to be given to the Evil Flame Sect."
"Therefore, I hope... that you can win the first place in this year's Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament and let them defeat them!"
