Lan Caiyue was silent for two seconds and said:
"I just have some guesses."
"The leader of Qingming Fairy Kingdom is seriously ill."
Just this sentence has countless meanings hidden behind it.
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows:
"This is interesting."
Lan Caiyue nodded and frowned:
"This news only came out half a year ago, but in fact, the king has been ill for more than ten years, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
"The Qingming Immortal Kingdom is not in chaos for the time being because the royal family is so powerful that it far exceeds the so-called top ten immortal sects like us."
"Moreover, the royal family is more powerful than those hidden forces."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"Since the royal family is the strongest, how dare these hidden forces have any ideas. From this, it seems that the royal family of Qingming Fairy Kingdom is not very united."
Lan Caiyue nodded:
"The royal family has not established a crown prince yet."
There is a deep meaning behind this sentence.
It seems that these originally reclusive forces are choosing to take sides in order to gain the merit of following the dragon.
Xiao Zhan looked at Lan Caiyue and said with a smile:
"Those forces want to take sides, and you immortal sects must also take sides."
"Which prince do you like most?"
A flash of worry flashed in Lan Caiyue's eyes.
"I would rather Shengyun Sect not get involved, but... this is obviously impossible."
"In recent times, several princes have sent people to Shengyun Sect, all in the name of visiting."
"If you have to say something promising..." Lan Caiyue was silent for a moment and said:
"The eldest prince has a kind heart and is known as a kind man and a talented man."
"The second prince is extremely talented and famous."
"The third prince is low-key and humble..."
"As for who I'm optimistic about, I don't have any idea in my mind, so I want to ask Senior Brother Xiao for his opinion."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand:
"I'm not from the Qingming Fairy Kingdom, so I don't know much about the situation in your Qingming Fairy Kingdom."
"So, I can't give you any advice, but after hearing what you said, I really want to go visit the imperial city of Qingming Fairy Kingdom."
Lan Caiyue sighed softly, nodded and said:
"Then I wish Senior Brother Xiao a safe journey."
"In addition...I would like to thank Senior Brother Xiao again for his life-saving grace."
Chen Lei nodded and said nothing more.
Three days later, Xiao Zhan, Du Yue and others, soared into the sky from the hinterland of Shengyun Sect and turned into a ball of light and disappeared into the sky.
Du Yue and others felt a little resentful.
They said they came out to practice, but it turned out that they didn't have much time to practice at all, and most of their time was spent on the road.
Xiao Zhan chuckled softly:
"Cultivation of the mind is also a kind of practice."
"Only when you have seen more of the various situations in the world can you gain some insights and stick to your true intentions."
"Every step you take today will become your skills in the future."
Du Yue and the others nodded.
Although they don't have enough experience to fully understand what Xiao Zhan said, they know that no matter what Xiao Zhan says, it is right and for their own good.
They just need to listen to Master's words and follow Master's footsteps.
Qingming Immortal Kingdom is very big.
The imperial city is even more than a million miles away from the Shengyun Sect.
Xiao Zhan took Du Yue and others, walking and stopping, staying for a few days in every city they passed to see the people and things here.
In this way, half a year later, Xiao Zhan and others arrived at the imperial city of Qingming Immortal Kingdom.
This is probably the largest imperial city that Xiao Zhan and Du Yue have ever seen.
The entire imperial city is like a giant sitting on the plain.
Looking around, you can't see the edges of this imperial city at all.
There are countless streets in the city.
Exquisite buildings rise from the ground with unique beauty.
In the core area of the imperial city, there is a hundred-foot-high wall, and within the wall is the imperial palace.
The palace is very large, with more than 10,000 large and small palaces and more than 500 gardens. It is even much larger than an ordinary city.
And only the royal family can live in the palace.
The palace guards alone numbered more than 300,000 soldiers.
Moreover, these 300,000 soldiers are all the best among the best, and there is no need to be inferior to the disciples of those large immortal sects.
Not to mention that there are a large number of top experts in the imperial city.
Even a strong person like Lan Caiyue will die without a burial place once he breaks into the palace without permission.
At this time, a curfew had been implemented in the imperial city, and the entire palace was under martial law.
Moreover, the royal family also issued a notice to search for a miracle doctor who could cure the king throughout the Qingming Fairy Kingdom.
This notice was only announced three days ago, and within a very short period of time, it appeared in cities across the Qingming Immortal Kingdom, as well as in all sect forces.
At first, the royal family tried their best to conceal the king's condition.
Now he is telling the world to seek a miracle cure.
One, because this matter can no longer be concealed.
Second, it was because the king's condition was extremely serious. If he didn't get treatment, he might really have to give up.
But the notice has been released for three days, and no one dares to reveal the imperial list.
Even those miracle doctors did not dare to come to treat the king's illness.
Because as long as you get involved, your life will basically be gone.
Under this situation, the royal family had to use various means to bring all the famous doctors to the palace.
At this time, inside the palace, in the Tianming Palace.
The Tianming Palace is the palace where the king lives.
At this time, thousands of doctors had gathered in the garden outside.
These people's faces were ashen, and there was no trace of joy on their faces.
At this time, an old man walked out of the hall with a pale face.
A golden-armored guard came over immediately and said indifferently:
"Come with me."
The old man trembled with fright and collapsed on the ground.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
The golden-armored guard frowned and said:
"No unlucky words are allowed in the palace!"
"Come on, I'll take you out of the palace."
The old man was stunned for a moment:
"Won't you kill me?"
The golden-armored guard snorted coldly:
"Do you want to die?"
The old man didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, got up and left with the golden armored guard.
In fact, since they were brought here, they did not dare not treat the king of the country seriously.
What's more, there are the most powerful doctors in the palace watching beside him, and these miracle doctors can't do anything.
In this case, if it can't be cured, it can't be cured. Naturally, there is no need to kill these miracle doctors.
This also made the miracle doctors in line behind breathe a sigh of relief.
When they were brought, they felt certain that they would die.
Now it seems that they are overthinking it.
One by one, the miraculous doctors entered the hall and came out dejectedly.
In the main hall, within the curtain.
On top of the dragon, the once majestic king was reduced to skin and bones, lying on the bed vomiting blood.
The queen held the king in her arms with tears in her eyes.
The three princes stood nearby with red eyes and said nothing.
More than a dozen imperial doctors looked worried and stood waiting nearby.
"Trash, all trash!"
The second prince suddenly roared angrily, exuding a powerful aura, and gritted his teeth and said:
"They have the reputation of being a miracle doctor, but they are all quacks!"
As he said that, he looked back at the imperial doctors and cursed:
「
You are all trash too! "
After being scolded by the second prince, who was the most powerful among the three princes, a group of imperial doctors did not dare to complain. They could only kneel on the ground and pray for forgiveness.
The ruler of the country, Dugu Ao, coughed violently and suddenly spoke extremely weakly:
"It's none of their business, why are you so angry?"
"My lord, please speak less," the queen advised while wiping her tears.
The king was lying on the dragon's bed covered with blood, and blood was still coming out of his mouth.
But his skinny face was full of calm, his eyes swept over the three princes, and he spoke slowly:
"I don't know how many people are waiting for news of my death."
The three princes immediately knelt down, looking extremely frightened.
"Father, everyone prays that our father will recover soon and live a long life!"
"Maybe," Dugu Ao said calmly:
"The crown prince's position has not been decided yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three princes trembled again, and they all looked at Dugu Ao.
Only the queen spoke with a complicated expression:
"My lord, the only thing you have to do now is to take good care of your health. We will talk about establishing a prince in a few years."
Dugu Ao shook his head:
"Queen, don't say these words to comfort me."
"I know my own body well."
As he spoke, the emperor looked at the eunuch chief waiting at the door and said:
"Ask all ministers and officials to listen to the decree outside the palace." .z.
With tears in his eyes, the chief eunuch knelt down and responded, then stood up and ran out of the hall.
Dugu Ao looked at the three princes again and said calmly:
"You three, go back to the palace first."
The three princes were stunned for a moment, then they all bowed down and then stood up and left.
As soon as the three princes walked out of the hall, Dugu Ao's expression changed and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!" the queen exclaimed.
A group of imperial doctors rushed forward.
But Dugu Ao waved his hand and said:
"I can still stand it."
At this time, a golden-armored guard waiting outside the main hall asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, will you let the remaining miracle doctors in?"
Dugu Ao shook his head slowly, obviously giving up hope of living.
In his eyes, there was a sense of calmness in the face of death, a sense of relief in letting go, and a sense of worry that could not be hidden.
While waiting for the ministers to arrive, a guard in golden armor suddenly rushed from the entrance of the palace.
He held a token in his hand, ran wildly, and shouted:
"Urgent order!"
"Urgent order!"
All the guards made way for the golden-armored guard to go straight to the Palace of Destiny.
"Urgent order!" The golden-armored guard rushed to the door of Tianming Palace, knelt on one knee, and shouted into the hall.
This kind of situation will only occur when something major happens and the leader of the country needs to be reported as soon as possible.
Therefore, in the main hall, the faces of a group of imperial doctors and the queen changed greatly.
Only the leader of the country, Dugu Ao, looked calm, but the chill in his eyes was deeper.
He could probably guess that some people or forces with ulterior motives must have done something.
The queen quickly spoke:
"Come in!"
The golden-armored guard walked in quickly, knelt down about ten meters away from the dragon, and then reported:
"Reporting to the lord of the country, someone has revealed the imperial list!"
"What!" The queen looked overjoyed, "Is it true that someone revealed the royal list?"
In fact, it is unnecessary for her to ask.
Who dares to joke about such a thing.
But it also showed how excited she was.
After all, everyone knows that under the current circumstances, it is almost impossible for anyone who dares to reveal the emperor's list to appear.
But now it happened!
Even the king of the country, Dugu Ao, had a glimmer of light in his eyes again.
But his eyes quickly regained their composure.
Perhaps, a conceited person appears?
Only he, Dugu Ao, knew how serious his injuries and condition were.
