Inside the Crown Prince's palace.
Xia Qian paced back and forth in the Crown Prince's Hall while the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty told him to go back and reflect on himself.
But how could he remain calm after something like this happened?
He really couldn't figure out why the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would suddenly cancel the engagement with the Great Ze Dynasty without any warning.
Could it be that Imperial Father was suppressing him?
An idea came to Xia Qian's mind.
He was responsible for facilitating the marriage between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Ze Dynasty. Once the marriage with the Great Ze Dynasty was established, he would naturally have more say and receive more support.
Previously, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked him to reflect on his actions and also took away his responsibility of supervising the nation.
After that incident, his Emperor's subordinates began to make small moves in secret.
If the marriage alliance between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Ze Dynasty that he was in charge of was canceled by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, there would definitely be a lot of rumors in the imperial court that he had fallen out of favor.
Many thoughts appeared in Xia Qian's mind, causing his expression to turn ugly.
"Your Highness."
Right at this moment, Yan Shi walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.
"How is it?"
Xia Qian stopped thinking and asked.
As soon as he returned to the Crown Prince Hall, he sent someone to check who the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had met previously and if anything had happened to Xia Qingmo.
"Your Highness, I found out that before His Majesty gave the order to cancel the engagement with the Great Ze Dynasty, Eunuch Li brought someone to the Heart-Nurturing Palace to meet His Majesty. As for Princess Qingmo, Ye Ping went to look for her to have some fun."
Yan Shi said.
When the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty heard Ye Ping's name, he froze in disbelief.
In an instant, Xia Qian's face turned extremely gloomy.
Ye Ping.
Tenth Prince.
In an instant, Xia Qian knew why his father canceled the engagement with Xia Qingmo.
Ye Ping appeared in the palace and met Xia Qingmo. Soon after, his father canceled the engagement between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Ze Dynasty.
It was obviously because of Ye Ping.
How could he not believe that there was no relationship between them?
It was no wonder.
It was no wonder.
It was no wonder that when he went to ask the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he didn't explain anything at all and even berated him.
The jealousy and hatred in Xia Qian's heart surged out like a flood, causing his body to tremble.
"Why is Ye Ping here!?!"
Xia Qian's tone was extremely cold.
Today, he received news that Ye Ping went to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty after returning from the King's Territory.
However, he didn't expect the other party to appear in the Great Xia Dynasty Palace in the blink of an eye.
When Yan Shi saw Xia Qian's gloomy expression and furious voice, he could not help but shiver and lower his head.
"According to my investigation, after Ye Ping and his Senior Brother arrived at the capital today, they went straight to Chancellor Xuanji's residence. Soon after, His Majesty left the palace and brought them back to the palace."
Yan Shi lowered his head and answered honestly.
"Head to the Grand Supreme Residence. Father will personally bring him back to the palace."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qian's body trembled even more violently, and his eyes turned red.
As expected.
This was the Tenth Prince.
He was his father's favorite son.
After arriving at the capital, he immediately went to the Taishang Xuanji Mansion, and his father personally welcomed him into the palace.
His father, the emperor, had originally agreed to the marriage alliance, but because of the appearance of the Tenth Prince and Ye Ping, he changed his mind and canceled the engagement.
He even gave his least beloved daughter the right to choose.
What kind of bias was this!
If the Tenth Prince wanted to be the emperor, his father would change his mind too.
No matter how hard he worked, what could he do in front of the Tenth Prince?
In Xia Qian's mind, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's words, "Do you think I don't dare to replace the Crown Prince?"
Now that the Tenth Prince had been brought to the palace by his father, it was obvious what he meant.
Xia Qian's body trembled and he kept taking deep breaths.
There was a red pill next to his trembling arm. It was a Mind-Calming Jade Pill that had the effect of calming one's mind.
However, when he looked at the red pill, Xia Qian threw it away with a menacing expression.
At this point, how could he remain calm? How could he remain calm?
However, at this moment, Xia Qian's expression instantly changed and he regained his composure. His eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Okay, I got it, you may leave."
Xia Qian's voice was so calm that it was frightening.
Yan Shi looked at Xia Qian, who had suddenly calmed down, and was a little dumbfounded.
He had never seen Xia Qian so calm, so much so that he was terrified.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Yan Shi did not dare to say anything else and immediately retreated.
Xia Qian was the only one left in the hall. After a moment of silence, he returned to his room and crushed a token before taking out an ancient lamp and lighting it up.
The next day.
Xia Qingmo arrived at Ye Ping's residence.
Yesterday, after she tried on the wedding dress that she had prepared for her wedding, a eunuch came to tell her that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had spoken to cancel her engagement with the Third Prince of the Great Ze Dynasty.
After hearing these words, Xia Qingmo was dumbfounded.
She was in disbelief.
She couldn't help but think of what Ye Ping said before he left that day. "If you don't want to get married, I'll help you."
She didn't expect that there would be an outcome so soon and that her father would cancel the engagement.
She knew the importance of the marriage alliance.
'How did Ye Ping make my father change his mind? '
If it weren't for the fact that it was already dark, she would have gone to Ye Ping to thank him.
She didn't sleep at all, and as soon as the sky brightened, she arrived at Ye Ping's residence.
When Ye Ping heard the guard informing him that someone was looking for him, he walked out of the hall.
A crisp sound rang out.
"Senior Brother Ye Ping!"
Xia Qingmo stood outside the hall, dressed in green and with long hair that reached her waist. She was slender and elegant, giving off a peaceful vibe.
"Princess Qingmo, why are you here?"
Ye Ping smiled gently. He didn't expect Princess Qingmo to be there to look for him.
Xia Qingmo was his only friend in the palace and no one else would look for him.
"I'm here to thank Senior Brother Ye Ping."
Xia Qingmo's beautiful face was full of smiles as she said so.
Yesterday, there was a hint of melancholy on her face, but now, it had disappeared.
"You're welcome, Eldest Senior Brother was the one who did this, I didn't help much."
Ye Ping shook his head and said.
Su Changyu was the one who did it and he didn't contribute at all.
"Senior Brother Changyu?"
Xia Qingmo was a little surprised.
She didn't expect Su Changyu to be the one who helped her.
She remembered that Ye Ping said that he came to the palace because Su Changyu had something to do.
He was indeed worthy of being a peerless expert who could once scare the Wei-Wu Marquis away.
"Yes, let's talk inside."
Ye Ping nodded. Since he was already there, he would naturally let him meet Su Changyu.
Su Changyu had some troubles on his mind, and now that he saw Princess Qingmo, his former friend who was also his sister, he might be in a better mood.
"Eldest Senior Brother, Princess Qingmo is here."
Ye Ping knocked on the door.
"Come in."
An indifferent voice sounded.
In the next moment, Ye Ping pushed the door open and walked into Su Changyu's room.
Su Changyu stood by the window and looked at the sky with an aloof and transcendent aura like an immortal.
"Eldest Senior Brother."
Ye Ping bowed.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Changyu."
Xia Qingmo bowed to Su Changyu gratefully.
When she first saw Su Changyu, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
However, because Su Changyu was too tall and aloof, she couldn't get close to him.
At this moment, when she saw Su Changyu again, he seemed even more aloof and transcendent, but she felt a sense of familiarity towards him.
"You're welcome."
Su Changyu glanced at Xia Qingmo and said indifferently.
At this moment, a servant brought over the prepared breakfast that was extremely elaborate and luxurious.
Xia Qingmo looked at the standard in front of her with some surprise.
She was very clear about the standard of dining in the palace, but after thinking about it, it made sense. Since Su Changyu could make the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty cancel his engagement with her, how could the standard be ordinary?
Just like that, the three of them began to eat quietly.
After breakfast, Su Changyu continued to return to his room and told Ye Ping and Xia Qingmo to go out for a walk.
The Great Xia Dynasty Palace was huge, and Xia Qingmo had only taken Ye Ping to three or four scenic spots yesterday. Hence, they wouldn't be able to finish the tour even if they spent ten days to half a month.
After a day of strolling, Ye Ping felt a little tired.
For some reason, he felt a little tired even though he had condensed the Qi and Blood True Dragon and the Ancient Godfiend Body.
"Princess Qingmo, it's getting late, let's go back early."
Ye Ping said after seeing that the sun had already set.
"Yes."
Xia Qingmo nodded, feeling a little reluctant. She then said shyly, "Senior Brother Ye Ping, you can just call me Qingmo. Calling me princess sounds too distant."
When she brought Ye Ping to the palace to enjoy the scenery, she was the one talking, but she felt that her relationship with Ye Ping had improved greatly.
When Ye Ping heard this, he immediately thought that Xia Qingmo was usually not favored despite being the Tenth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. Hence, he reckoned that she definitely didn't like the title of princess.
"Okay, Princess Qingmo."
Ye Ping nodded and said so.
The two of them went back.
Ye Ping returned to his residence and saw Su Changyu in the hall.
"Eldest Senior Brother."
Ye Ping bowed and greeted him.
"You don't have to be so polite. How was your time with Princess Qingmo today?"
Su Changyu said.
"Not bad, I'm just a little tired."
Ye Ping said.
'Tired? '
Su Changyu was confused and wondered what he had done. He picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea for Ye Ping.
"Ye Ping, I've thought it through."
Su Changyu said calmly.
After thinking about life today and calming down, he confirmed his inner thoughts.
He couldn't accept the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and his identity as the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Hence, he decided to give up that identity and return to the Qingyun Dao Sect to be his Eldest Senior Brother.
"Have you thought it through?"
Ye Ping was a little surprised. 'No wonder he's the Eldest Senior Brother. He made up his mind so quickly.'
"Yes, I'm going to tell Old Xia tomorrow that I'm going to leave the palace and return to the Qingyun Dao Sect."
Su Changyu's tone was very calm and there were no fluctuations at all.
"Okay, I support your idea."
Ye Ping didn't say much. No matter what Su Changyu did, he would support him.
"When the time comes, will you return to the sect with me or continue to stay in the palace?"
Su Changyu asked as he thought about the matter between Ye Ping and Xia Qingmo.
"I'll naturally return to the sect with Eldest Senior Brother."
Ye Ping was a little puzzled as to why Su Changyu would ask him that.
"What about Princess Qingmo?"
Su Changyu continued to ask.
"We'll meet again in the future."
Ye Ping said after thinking about it.
Su Changyu nodded and didn't say much. If Ye Ping wanted to see Xia Qingmo in the future, he would at most help him.
