Time passes by like flowing water.
Half an hour passed, and the last trace of skylight disappeared from the distant western mountains. Night fell and it was already night.
The entire Tiandou Imperial Palace was immediately lit up by countless valuable soul-guided lights.
The Fourth Prince's Palace.
Accompanied by a miserable wail of pain, the entire palace immediately went into panic, and the sounds of arresting assassins could be heard one after another.
Within a moment, the commotion spread from the prince's palace and then affected the entire Tiandou Imperial Palace.
Upon hearing the sound, the royal guards came out in full force and patrolled around the palace.
A large-scale search to capture the assassin began.
at this time.
The emperor was in his palace on a snowy night, enjoying dinner, enjoying singing and dancing, raising a glass and drinking by himself, feeling very uncomfortable.
The dancers dancing in the audience are all graceful, with good looks, hot figures, beautiful dancing postures and beautiful singing voices.
These dancers all come from Yuexuan, the court etiquette academy of the Tiandou Empire.
Looking at the dancers dancing and singing in the audience, I was in a very good mood on the snowy night, my thoughts were flying, and I couldn't help but think of Tang Yuehua, the elegant and graceful master of Yuexuanxuan, and my heart suddenly felt hot.
He had only seen a strange woman like Tang Yuehua in his life.
She is not a soul master, she is just an ordinary person, but she has a temperament that is not inferior to that of any woman. She is dignified, noble, elegant, natural, indifferent, soft, etc. So beautiful words can not be exaggerated to describe her.
The most important thing is that she has a stunning appearance, a perfect figure, a flexible body, and is proficient in court etiquette.
Such a woman is the perfect concubine candidate in Xue Ye's heart.
but......
pity!
Xue Ye suddenly felt a little depressed and sighed in her heart.
He once put down his identity to show his love to her, and even promised her the position of his first favorite concubine, and wanted to accept her as his concubine, but she flatly refused.
Xue Ye, as the emperor of a country, was naturally extremely annoyed when his love was rejected, and felt very humiliated.
It's not like he hasn't thought about using force.
But Tang Yuehua's identity is special and not simple.
She is the first sect in the world, the first of the three sects, a member of the Haotian Sect, and the biological sister of Tang Xiao, the current leader of the Haotian Sect.
More than seven years ago, although the Haotian Sect was half disabled by the Wuhun Palace and suffered heavy casualties, now it can only huddle in the depths of the snowy mountains and linger on.
But even so, Haotian Sect was not someone he could mess with Xue Ye.
He couldn't afford to mess with those hammers from the Haotian Sect who were muscular and had no brains.
And now he is gradually getting older and more beautiful, his little brother is not strong enough, and he is no longer able to do what he wants during sex.
He couldn't get Tang Yuehua, so he could only satisfy his craving by watching the palace dancers she trained personally sing and dance.
Thinking of these, Xue Ye was extremely depressed and drank down the fragrant wine in his hand.
Just at this time.
Suddenly there was a panic and noisy sound outside the palace, which attracted Xue Ye's attention.
"What's going on outside?"
Xue Ye frowned, and Hu shouted a question.
Being interrupted from enjoying the singing and dancing, I was already feeling a little depressed, and suddenly I became even more unhappy.
"It's not good, Your Majesty!"
Not long after, the commander of the royal guards who was responsible for guarding outside walked quickly into the palace, arriving before anyone arrived.
He even forgot to follow the etiquette. It seemed that the situation was urgent and not trivial.
"His Majesty!"
The commander of the royal guards reacted and quickly knelt down on one knee to perform the knight's salute.
"What's going on? Tell me!"
Xue Ye stared at the commander of the guards with sharp eyes.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the commotion was caused by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's palace. News came that the Fourth Prince was assassinated by an assassin and was seriously injured."
The commander of the imperial guard was shocked, and he quickly informed Xue Ye respectfully of the news he had just received.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Xue Ye put down the wine glass with a snap. Due to the excitement and excessive strength, the glass goblet suddenly shattered, and the fragrant wine splashed and flowed.
"Where is Gelong? Has the assassin been caught?!"
Xue Ye stood up straight in a flash, not paying attention to the splashing and flowing wine, and asked coldly with an angry look on his face.
"See Your Majesty!"
As soon as Xue Ye finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed in from outside the palace gate, landed in front of Xue Ye, and knelt on one knee to salute.
The person who came was tall, wearing golden armor, with a Chinese character face, square eyebrows, a rough face, serious and cold.
He was none other than Emperor Xue Ye's confidant, the Imperial Marshal, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards, and also a Contra, the strongest member of the Tiandou Imperial Family, Ge Long.
He had just arrived from the palace of the fourth prince Xue Beng.
"Gron, how is the situation?"
Facing his trusted general, Xue Ye restrained his anger and his face became slightly softer.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the riot was caused by the assassination of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. The whereabouts of the assassin are currently unknown. After learning the news, I have ordered the Royal Guards to block the main entrances and exits of the palace, and patrol and investigate various places to arrest the assassin. only......"
Ge Long replied after considering his words.
"Just what?"
After hearing Ge Long's report, Xue Ye suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's just that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was seriously injured and was... deposed."
Ge Long took a deep breath before speaking out.
To be honest, he didn't like the fourth prince Xue Beng. He always acted recklessly based on his status as a prince, and he was nothing more than a playboy prince worth mentioning.
What he valued more was Prince Xue Qinghe, who was self-disciplined, kind-hearted, but also had sharp political skills. If he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would definitely be a qualified monarch.
Now that the Fourth Prince has been deposed, it might be a good thing.
Moreover, Ge Long couldn't stand what the fourth prince Xue Beng did.
However, due to his status, as a confidant of Emperor Xue Ye, he had sworn to be loyal to the Tiandou royal family for life, so it was not easy to say anything about it.
"Deposed? What do you mean?"
Xue Ye heard Ge Long's answer and didn't react for a while.
"Is it because the soul power cultivation has been abolished?"
Before Ge Long could reply, Xue Ye seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and then asked another question.
If only the soul power cultivation was abolished, it wouldn't have much impact.
Anyway, the inherited martial spirit of their Tiandou royal family is just an ordinary martial spirit swan of little use.
There is actually not much difference between the Swan Martial Spirit, whether it has soul power or not.
If Xue Beng was deprived of his soul power, he would just be an ordinary person without soul power and be an idle prince.
He is very satisfied with the current crown prince Xue Qinghe and has no intention of changing the crown prince.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason why His Highness the Fourth Prince was deposed was not because of his soul power, but because of... the Third Path!"
Ge Long reported back.
"What did you say? It was the Lower Third Road that was destroyed by the avalanche?"
Xue Yehu's eyes suddenly widened, and he was stunned for a moment, stunned.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ge Long replied again and then described in detail:
"I have just seen the injuries of His Highness the Fourth Prince. It can be said that they are terrible. The two eggs were broken into pieces. The little brother was also flattened into a piece of meat, as thin as a cicada's wing."
"Even the best healing soul master in the palace can't do anything about this kind of injury. He's afraid it won't be cured by medicine or stone and he won't be able to recover."
Recalling the miserable emotions he felt when he just saw the Fourth Prince Xue Beng's crotch, Ge Long couldn't help but tremble a little for the first time, and even subconsciously tightened his buttocks.
It's really, really sad.
Xue Ye breathed rapidly when he heard this and was extremely sad. He originally had four sons. The eldest prince and the second prince died unexpectedly and prematurely a few years ago. Now only the third prince Xue Qinghe and the fourth prince Xue Beng are left.
The original plan was to rely on these two princes to continue the family line and maintain the dominance of the Okula family.
After all, he was already old and wan, and he could no longer bear children.
Now the fourth prince Xue Beng has been deposed?
Then wouldn't he have only the third prince, Xue Qinghe, left to carry on the family line?
Although he still has his beloved princess Xue Ke, Xue Ke is a woman and will eventually get married. In the future, she will not be considered a member of the family, but can only be considered a relative.
"Bastard thing!"
Thinking of this, Xue Ye suddenly became furious and cursed angrily, not knowing who he was scolding.
"Come here, show me the Fourth Prince's bedroom."
After scolding, Xue Ye was still angry, but still planned to go and take a look.
After all, Xue Beng was one of his two remaining sons. Although he had a bit of a naughty temperament, which made him a little unhappy, but now that he was seriously injured and crippled, he had to take a look at him both emotionally and rationally.
In addition, as a wise and powerful Emperor Xueye, he must show proper caring attitude in front of everyone, so that no one can think that he is unfeeling and cold-hearted.
Give an order.
Just a moment.
Emperor Luan's chariot is ready.
Then Xue Ye got on the chariot, and the group rushed towards the fourth prince's palace.
...
At this time.
The south gate of Tiandou Palace.
A magnificent carriage clad in gold and silver appeared.
The carriage only paused for a moment before gaining passage, and then accelerated towards the palace. Its destination was also the palace of the fourth prince.
Being able to ride a carriage in the Tiandou Imperial Palace must have an extraordinary status.
Except for the Tiandou royal family, no one else has this kind of treatment.
Inside the carriage at this moment.
There are two figures sitting in it.
One of them is an old man in gorgeous clothes.
This man is of medium height, slightly overweight, and has a dignified appearance. His gray hair is neat and meticulously combed behind his head.
He was wearing a large yellow robe with embroidery and flowers on it. He didn't look messy and gave people a somewhat aloof feeling. Although he didn't look domineering, he certainly didn't mean to be courteous.
The other person is also an old man.
However, this old man was a little weird and didn't look like a normal person.
Because the old man, at first glance, is covered in green.
He is tall and thin, with dark green beard and hair.
His face was expressionless, his cheeks were stiff, his cheeks were sunken, his green hair was disheveled, and he was wearing a similarly dark green robe.
The whole person gives people an illusory feeling, like a phantom, unreal.
The old man in green robe was sitting in the carriage, his waist straight like a javelin, his eyes closed tightly and silent.
If you look carefully, you will find that the old man's brows are slightly furrowed, as if he is enduring some pain.
However, the old man in rich clothes opposite the old man in green robe was not in the mood to look carefully at the moment, so naturally he could not find anything unusual about the old man in green robe.
The old man in rich clothes looked serious and anxious at the moment.
Today he bid for a pretty leopard girl at the Tiandou Auction House and brought it back to the prince's residence, where he was preparing to play with and enjoy it.
However, news came from the palace that the emperor's nephew Xue Beng was assassinated and seriously injured, which made him feel horrified and anxious, and he couldn't care less about whether he was a leopard girl or not.
That's right.
This old man in rich attire is the uncle of the fourth prince, Xue Beng, and the younger brother of Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing.
Under the fire.
Xuexing immediately rushed to the house of Tiandou Keqing, the old man in green robe opposite him, Poison Douluo Dugubo, and invited him over.
Xuexing knew that although Poison Douluo Dugubo was a poisoner, he knew a lot about pharmacology, so he might have a way to restore the emperor's nephew Xue Beng to normal.
"Your Majesty Poison Douluo, my nephew, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, has just been assassinated. He is seriously injured at the moment. I need your help later to see if he can recover from his injuries."
Xuexing lowered the curtains of the carriage, looked at Dugu Bo opposite, and spoke sincerely.
His voice was slightly louder and more confident, showing the tone of a superior, but at this moment when facing Dugu Bo, his tone was full of respect.
When Dugu Bo heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of emerald-like eyes that shone brightly.
The look in his eyes was sharp and cold, like a poisonous snake.
"His Royal Highness the Prince has entrusted you, so I should do my best."
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment and then spoke calmly:
"But first of all, I am good at poison and not good at treatment, so I cannot guarantee that I will be able to cure the Fourth Prince's injuries."
"Your Highness, it's better to be mentally prepared."
"To treat the injury, it is actually safer to seek help from a healing soul master."
Dugu Bo's voice was old, hoarse, cold, and somewhat unpleasant, making it impossible to hear the emotion contained in it.
"I don't know, but the healing soul masters supported by the palace are unable to do anything about the injuries. Even the soul saint-level healing soul masters' healing soul skills are useless."
"The murderer seems to have used some strange ability to prevent his injuries from being restored. I have no choice but to trouble you, Your Majesty, Poison Douluo."
Xuexing sighed and spoke respectfully.
At the same time, he had no choice but to think that if Xue Bang was abandoned, all his previous investments and arrangements would be in vain.
"Oh? Is this happening?"
Dugu Bo was slightly surprised when he heard this and became interested.
"If Your Majesty Poison Douluo Mian can heal my nephew Xue Beng's injury, I will surely be richly rewarded."
Xuexing spoke resolutely and bowed sincerely in request.
"Your Highness, there is no need for this. If you are kind to me, I will naturally do my best. Besides, I have promised you the Tiandou royal family to become a guest. This can be regarded as my obligation."
Seeing this, Dugu Bo quickly stopped him and used his green soul power to lift him up.
"In that case, please ask Poison Douluo to crown me."
Hearing this, Xuexing said humbly again.
However, in the depths of his lowered eyes, there was an imperceptible glimmer of light, which contained satisfaction and a hint of pride.
"Um."
Dugu Bo nodded indifferently, then stopped talking and continued to close his eyes.
In fact, he couldn't stand that dandy prince Xue Beng.
Although Prince Xuexing once said clearly that due to some royal family secrets, Xue Beng's image of a playboy was a last resort in order to disguise and protect himself.
But who Dugu Bo is, he has matured with age, and Xue Beng's nature and character, he can see through it at a glance.
Xue Beng is not a dandy in disguise at all, he is essentially a dandy, but in front of Prince Snow Star, he acts lawfully and legitimately in the name of disguise.
After hearing about that piece of trash, he actually wanted to take advantage of his granddaughter Dugu Yan?
If it weren't for Prince Snow Star's relationship, he would have been unable to resist skinning and removing its muscles. He would have followed him to treat his injuries. It would have been nice if he didn't poison him.
However, Prince Snow Star had a life-saving grace for him, and since he was entrusted with it, he would do his best.
As for the outcome, it can only depend on God’s will.
Dugu Bo sat in the carriage carriage, his brows slightly furrowed, and he said no more, but his thoughts were very active:
"Speaking of God's will, well, the weather has been a bit gloomy recently, and I'm afraid it's going to rain in the next few days."
"My body feels a little tingling, and the jade phosphorus snake venom in my body has started to riot again. Well, it can be suppressed for the time being."
"After this matter is dealt with, we should quickly return to the medicine garden in Sunset Forest to suppress the toxin backlash that is about to break out."
"You will not be able to return for at least seven days. Before you leave, make arrangements for Yanyan. She is currently studying at Tiandou Royal Academy. She will just live in the academy first. Then say hello to the Academy's Third Education Committee and ask them to take care of her."
"Besides, I still have to warn Yanyan not to get too close to that Yu Tianheng, that kid has impure intentions!"
"..."
"Yanyan has reached the realm of Soul Master now. As his cultivation grows more and more, the erosion of the jade phosphorus snake venom will become deeper and deeper, and Yanyan's body will also begin to show signs of snake venom backlash."
"However, we cannot inform her of this matter, lest she become worried and frightened."
"We must find a way to solve the backlash of Biphosphorus snake venom as soon as possible."
"My son and daughter-in-law have already died due to the backlash of phosphorus snake venom. We must not let Yanyan follow in the same footsteps..."
