In the Great Xia Dynasty.
In the Heart-Nurturing Palace.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty seemed a little silent. After hearing what Taishang Xuanji said, he fell silent.
According to Taishang Xuanji, Su Changyu clearly seemed to have guessed something, and he might have guessed that he was his son.
Thinking of this, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty felt guilty and upset.
"What happened next?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to ask.
"What happened next? I kept an eye out and sent a servant to find out some news. I heard that Changyu is coming to the capital. "
Taishang Xuanji answered.
His words confirmed the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's conjecture.
However, when he learned that Su Changyu was coming to the capital, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't help but be excited.
"Changyu is coming to the capital?"
"What is he coming to the capital for?"
"How many people does he come with?"
"Is he alone?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked several questions in a row, subverting Taishang Xuanji's understanding because the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was really too nervous and had lost his composure.
That shouldn't be the reaction of an emperor.
However, others might not be able to understand the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but he could.
After all, the woman that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty liked the most was the Tenth Prince's biological mother. Besides, the Tenth Prince's encounter was pitiful.
After all, he was originally a prince who was born with endless wealth and glory. However, he was schemed against and ended up living among the commoners, becoming an orphan who grew up without a parent.
Not only did he suffer from being looked down upon, but he also had to work every day. Which father in the world could accept that? Which father wouldn't feel guilty?
In Taishang Xuanji's opinion, the reason why the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty doted on Su Changyu so much was because he felt guilty and wanted to make it up to the Tenth Prince's biological mother.
However, he also understood very well that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn't change the Crown Prince just because he felt guilty and doted on Su Changyu.
Hence, he taught the Crown Prince not to act rashly. After all, the throne still belonged to him, but if the Crown Prince continued to act recklessly, it would be hard to say.
"Your Majesty, Changyu is indeed coming to the capital."
"Why did he come to the capital? I guess he wants to put an end to it. After all, even if His Majesty wants to hide it, I'm afraid Changyu wouldn't want to."
"I heard from my servant that he seems to have come alone."
Taishang Xuanji answered.
"You came alone? Will he encounter any danger? "
"Is the public security in Jin Nation good?"
"Could it be that someone is plotting against him? Xuanji, how did you do your job? Didn't anyone send someone to protect you in secret? "
When the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty heard that Su Changyu had come alone, he couldn't help but berate Taishang Xuanji.
He felt that Taishang Xuanji was too incompetent.
Taishang Xuanji was a little dumbfounded.
How can you blame me for this?
How can you blame this on me?
How would I know that Su Changyu was going to look for you?
Moreover, he came to the Imperial Capital alone. Would he encounter any danger?
When the Crown Prince went to the border, he wanted to bring some subordinates and generals with him, but you refused to let any of them go. Oh, Su Changyu is coming and you want me to protect him?
Your Majesty, you are so biased.
Filled with frustration, Taishang Xuanji dared not say a word and could only lower his head.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't do a good job."
Taishang Xuanji lowered his head and said.
He was at his wit's end. There was nothing he could do about it. If the emperor wanted his subjects to die, the subjects would have to die. There were no wrong emperors, only wrong subjects.
"Hmph, Xuanji, you're really getting old. You didn't even think of this. Hurry up and send someone to escort Changyu."
Taishang Xuanji could tell that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was indeed a little angry.
He didn't waste any time and hurriedly took his leave.
After Taishang Xuanji left …
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't help but smile and mutter to himself.
"I didn't expect a prince like me to be able to guess his identity so quickly. He's really a genius."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was overjoyed.
However, at this moment …
In the Crown Prince's hall.
During this period of time, the Crown Prince had indeed been much more restrained. He sat alone in the main hall and seemed to be very obedient.
However, at this moment, in the main hall.
A figure appeared in front of the Crown Prince.
The other party knelt in front of Xia Qian, looking extremely respectful.
"Your Highness, the matter has been settled. According to the information, His Majesty passed by Baiyun Ancient City of Jin Nation a few days ago and finally went to a place called the Qingyun Dao Sect."
The other party knelt on the ground and said.
"Qingyun Dao Sect? Why does it sound familiar? "
Xia Qian frowned slightly. He sat on the high seat and looked at the calligraphy in front of him.
"Your Highness, the Qingyun Dao Sect is just a newly promoted third-grade sect, but they have produced an impressive talent."
The other party replied.
"What an amazing talent. Who is it?"
Xia Qian asked directly, looking a little anxious.
"Your Highness, that person's name is Ye Ping, and he's a student of the Jin Nation Academy. During the Ten Nations Grand Tournament this time, he even suppressed all the heroes and came in first. He also wrote a supreme essay and became a great Confucian of heaven and earth."
"However, I don\'t know what\'s going on with this Ye Ping. He clearly won the first place of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, but he didn\'t enter the Ten Nations Academy. Instead, he went straight back to the sect. Besides, the time he went to Baiyun Ancient City happened to be the same time as His Majesty."
As soon as he said that, Xia Qian's gaze instantly became extremely sharp.
"Ye Ping? It's him? "
He came in first in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, wrote a peerless essay, and was a great Confucian of heaven and earth. Yet, he didn't join the Ten Nations Academy?
There was clearly something wrong with this.
He even encountered the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty as soon as he returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Clearly, his father had found the Tenth Prince a long time ago.
Besides, he didn't expect that he actually knew the Tenth Prince and even wanted to rope him in.
This was really … a little ridiculous.
"Go and investigate this Ye Ping. I must see all the information about him within an hour."
Xia Qian instructed the other party to investigate Ye Ping.
"Yes."
The latter disappeared right on the spot.
Just like that, an hour later, some information indeed appeared in front of him.
Xia Qian looked at it carefully. The information was not only obtained through the powerful intelligence agency of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also through some of the power of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
However, Xia Qian did it very discreetly. He didn't use his own identity to look for Ye Ping, and instead, he got his subordinates to do that.
It would be normal even if they found out something. At most, he would just say that it was because of the non-poisonous pill.
Although Taishang Xuanji told him not to continue to get involved in that matter, how could Xia Qian not do so?
He would never forget the day the Tenth Prince was born.
All these years, he had been conscientious and conscientious, and no matter how much his father reprimanded him, he didn't complain at all.
It was because he knew that his father was doing it for his own good and wanted to groom him into the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, at this moment, Xia Qian felt that things were not that simple.
His Imperial Father had always been thinking about the Tenth Prince.
If it were ten or twenty years ago, Xia Qian definitely wouldn't have anything to say if he knew about this matter.
However, things were different now.
He had worked hard for decades without any complaints, and now it was time for him to inherit the throne.
Who could stand the sudden arrival of the Tenth Prince?
Who could stand it?
He was indignant.
He was extremely indignant.
Xia Qian looked at the information on the table seriously.
After a full 15 minutes, Xia Qian fell completely silent.
Most of Ye Ping's records were on it.
At the age of 24, he could suppress the elites of the Ten Nations and even write peerless essays.
That was obviously the Tenth Prince.
Rumor had it that the Tenth Prince's luck was unparalleled and he could bring endless luck to the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was only natural for such a son of luck to be able to suppress the elites of the Ten Nations at the age of 24.
Thinking about what happened before, Xia Qian couldn't help but smile.
He smiled deeply.
"Uncle, I didn't expect you to still hide something in the end."
At this moment, Xia Qian was already certain that Ye Ping was the legendary Tenth Prince.
Not only was he the Tenth Prince, but he was also a prince with unparalleled aptitude and luck.
Compared to Ye Ping, he was inferior.
If Ye Ping wasn't the Tenth Prince, why did he suppress the elites of the Ten Nations and not go to the Ten Nations Academy?
Why did he insist on returning to the sect? It was just because his father didn't want Ye Ping to continue exposing his identity.
Besides, why did Ye Ping meet his father as soon as he returned to the sect?
Clearly, the two of them had known each other for a long time and they were just keeping the world in the dark.
His uncle obviously knew about it, but he didn't tell him because he was afraid that he would do something that he shouldn't.
At the thought of this …
Xia Qian couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Qian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He didn't say anything and the people of His Highness didn't dare to say anything either.
They could only wait quietly.
After a long while, Xia Qian finally spoke up.
"Make a trip to the Qingyun Dao Sect and lurk in the surroundings. Investigate everything that has happened in the sect. You must investigate the origins of everyone, understand?"
After saying that, Xia Qian fell silent.
"Yes."
The latter did not dare to ask any more questions, nor did he want to. Hence, he turned around and left.
After his subordinates left …
Xia Qian also fell into deep thought.
He knew that his father doted on the Tenth Prince very much. Otherwise, he would have revealed the Tenth Prince's identity.
It was because his father was afraid that once the Tenth Prince's identity was exposed, he would be assassinated by the other dynasties.
Hence, the Tenth Prince was his father's sore spot.
He was extremely clear about that too.
If the Tenth Prince did not die, he would never be able to sit firmly on the throne.
Although his uncle had said so much, Taishang Xuanji's words kept echoing in Xia Qian's mind.
He would support the Crown Prince.
That sentence didn't sound problematic, but in fact, it was the most problematic one.
It was because he might be the Crown Prince now, but there was no guarantee that he wouldn't be the Crown Prince one day.
'What if my father really dethroned me and made the Tenth Prince the Crown Prince? '
'By then, wouldn't my uncle support the new Crown Prince? '
Besides, Taishang Xuanji was his uncle, but he was also the Chancellor of the Great Xia Dynasty. He was his father's subject, not his.
The battle for the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was not a trivial matter that the other four dynasties were paying attention to.
Originally, if there were no accidents, he would be able to ascend the throne in ten years at the earliest and twenty years at the latest. He would then become the youngest emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and the youngest emperor in the world.
It was also a kind of honor to be a young emperor.
But now, with the appearance of the Tenth Prince, all of his plans had been disrupted, and his heart was in turmoil.
Time passed bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye.
It was already late at night.
The sky was as dark as ink.
Xia Qian sat cross-legged in the main hall with an ancient lamp in front of him.
The light was crimson and looked very strange.
When the ancient lamp was lit …
In an instant, Xia Qian closed his eyes.
Soon after, in an empty space.
Xia Qian opened his eyes.
Soon, a figure appeared in this space.
"Brother Xia, why are you looking for me?"
The figure appeared. The figure was extremely majestic and his face could not be seen clearly, but he gave off an indescribable sense of oppression just by standing there.
He was the Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty, who was also the most famous Crown Prince among the five dynasties.
The Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty was reputed to have the potential of a True Dragon. His literary and military strategies were outstanding. Be it in terms of cultivation or strength, he was the number one elite in the Great Ze Dynasty. Moreover, his tactics were top-notch.
Hence, when facing the Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty, Xia Qian was obviously weaker.
"Greetings, Brother Ji."
Xia Qian first bowed slightly to the other party before speaking.
"Brother Ji, to be honest, I might have encountered some trouble."
Xia Qian went straight to the point.
"Trouble? Brother Xia, you must be joking, right? You're the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, what kind of trouble can you possibly encounter? "
The other party asked curiously.
"The Tenth Prince has appeared."
Xia Qian said slowly, and his words clearly stunned the other party.
The legend of the Tenth Prince did not only exist in the Great Xia Dynasty. The other four dynasties had also heard of the legend of the Tenth Prince.
Besides, the higher the status, the more things they knew.
In particular, when the Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty became the top elite of the Great Ze Dynasty, someone told him that there was a prince who might not be weaker than him if he was still alive.
That person was the Tenth Prince.
Hence, the Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty was also very curious about the Tenth Prince.
However, according to the rumors, the Tenth Prince had long died. How could he have appeared again?
"Brother Xia, you must be joking. The Tenth Prince died more than 20 years ago, how could he have appeared? "
The other party clearly did not believe him and asked directly.
"What's the benefit of lying to you?"
Xia Qian's words made the other party fall silent.
Indeed, there was no need for Xia Qian to lie to him about this matter. What was the point of lying to him?
"What do you want to do?"
The other party did not continue to be long-winded and asked Xia Qian what he wanted to do.
"A person who shouldn't appear shouldn't appear."
Xia Qian expressed his thoughts with a single sentence.
"Do you want to kill him?"
At this moment, the Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty frowned and couldn't help but ask.
However, Xia Qian did not say anything, but his meaning was clear.
"If the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty is really alive, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty will definitely view him as a treasure. If I attack and get discovered, it might cause a war between the two dynasties. Forgive me, but I can't agree to this."
The Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty was not stupid and immediately rejected.
However, at the next moment …
Xia Qian couldn't help but speak slowly.
"What if I give you a non-poisonous pill formula in exchange?"
His voice sounded.
The latter instantly fell silent.
However, he still did not agree directly.
At this moment, Xia Qian's voice sounded again.
"If I ascend to the throne, I'm willing to give up 108 Hemimorphite mines at the border. How about that?"
As his voice sounded …
The latter's body suddenly trembled.
"Are you serious?"
The Crown Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty was tempted.
