Emperor Wu Hen's expression turned serious.
The giggling Princess Ruchen's eyes, which seemed to be ignorant of worldly affairs, also flickered with a hidden depth.
The atmosphere became much heavier.
"Could it be that the two of you want me to do something shady?" Su Yu could not help but laugh.
Emperor Wu Hen looked at Su Yu solemnly and sighed. "Now that things have come to this, I can only tell you. Do you still remember the contents of our agreement?"
Su Yu's eyes flashed. Of course he remembered.
In exchange for giving Su Yu a first-class area of Dao Rain, Su Yu would help Princess Ruchen fight for the position of crown prince.
However, he did not specify what they wanted Su Yu to help them with.
"Our Dayu Empire's decision to appoint a Crown Prince is never based on who has the most supporters. It's also not something that the Emperor of the Dayu Empire can decide at will. Instead, it has to go through the competition for Karmic Luck since ancient times."
"And what we want you to do is to help Princess Ruchen seize destiny!" Emperor Wu Hen's words were clear.
Su Yu's expression was calm, not surprised.
"The contest will take place in the secret realm of the Dayu Empire, the Dayu Ruins. The nation's destiny is scattered there. Mister Su, please enter it to collect the nation's destiny and hand it over to Princess Ruchen."
The Dayu Ruins? Su Yu thought about it and nodded slowly. "Since I have agreed, I will not go back on my word. Please tell me the details of the ruins."
Emperor Wu Hen's face lit up, and his tone changed. "The selection of the crown prince will only take place after the Dao Rain descends, so there is no hurry. However, I will need to explain to Mister Su about the Dao Rain."
Su Yu's expression turned serious. Hadn't he come to the Dayu Empire for the Dao Rain?
"Emperor, please explain." Only members of the royal family could enter the first-class area of Dao Rain's blessing, and there would be a strict test upon entry. There was no way to bluff your way through.
Emperor Wu Hen stared at Su Yu, his lips curling into a thoughtful smile. "Mister Su, do you have the time to become the sixth prince of the Dayu Empire?"
The Dayu Empire had only five princes and one princess.
There was no sixth prince!
He immediately understood what he meant and frowned. "You want me to pretend to be a fake prince?"
Emperor Wu Hen chuckled. "Not a fake prince, but a real prince! Our Dayu Empire does have a Sixth Prince! "
There was actually such a thing? There were only five princes in the world!
"In the past, when the king, Dongfang Xia, was patrolling the borders, he had a one-night stand with a concubine who was conferred the title of king, pregnant with the seed of a dragon and gave birth to it. This matter involved the face of the royal family, so the news was strictly sealed. The world did not know that there was such a prince, and the royal family did not recognize the sixth prince's position."
Su Yu clicked his tongue. The monarch had laid his hands on the woman who had been conferred the title of king.
This was a great humiliation to the King. Was the monarch not worried that the King would hold a grudge and raise his troops to rebel?
"A few years ago, Dongfang Xia was looking for an opportunity to break through to the Three Crowns Emperor Stage. He was worried that he would not be able to pass the Gate of Life and Death, so he hoped that he would regret it all his life. Just like that, he remembered the Sixth Prince that he had almost forgotten."
The words of a dying man are kind! It was probably because of this mentality.
"Unfortunately, Dongfang Xia sent someone from the royal family to welcome the Sixth Prince. Unfortunately, it was Princess Ruchen and I who personally led the team." Emperor Wu Hen's lips curled up. "Unfortunately, the Sixth Prince happened to be out training."
Su Yu raised his brows. The matter did not end just like that.
"We waited for several months, but the Sixth Prince still did not return. This made me suspicious," Emperor Wu Hen said. Emperor Wu Hen said, "But just as we were about to report it to the King, the Sixth Prince suddenly returned!"
Everyone could tell that there was something fishy going on. The identity of the Sixth Prince was somewhat suspicious.
"We used the royal family's special testing technique on the Sixth Prince, and it was indeed found that he was of Dongfang Xia's bloodline. There was no doubt about it!" Emperor Wu Hen said something that surprised Su Yu. "I had thought that the matter had ended there, but I never expected that on the way back to the Imperial City, the Sixth Prince would suddenly die!"
"After careful inspection, we found that there was a mysterious crystal filled with the blood of the royal family embedded in his body. It was this item that provided the royal blood that allowed him to avoid the inspection! It turned out that the real Sixth Prince had died unexpectedly when he was young due to cultivation deviation. However, he was worried that the monarch would be furious, so he kept it a secret! Only a few people knew about this! "
Emperor Wu Hen said meaningfully. "So, you should understand how panicked the King must have been when we returned to his fief."
It would have been fine if he had merely failed to protect Dongfang Xia's dragon seed, but attempting to use a fake dragon seed to deceive the monarch was a capital offense!
"The King begged me for a long time, promising me many benefits and even agreeing to support Princess Ruchen. He asked me to help him hide the truth." Emperor Wu Hen took out a crystal, which was filled with traces of dark red blood essence.
Looking at Su Yu, she pursed her lips and smiled. "I also told the monarch the truth. The Sixth Prince is traveling outside and has yet to return!"
Staring at the blood essence in her hand, Su Yu's expression was as calm as still water. "So, you want me to pretend to be the Sixth Prince?"
"You are not pretending!" Emperor Wu Hen's eyes were deep. "You are the Sixth Prince! In this world, apart from us and the King, who else knows that the Sixth Prince is actually dead? If we say you are the Sixth Prince, then you are! "
This …
It seemed like a bold plan, but after careful consideration, it seemed like it could be carried out.
The King would not dare expose Su Yu, and Emperor Wu Hen wanted Su Yu's support, so she would not expose him either.
However, there was only one thing to consider.
"To be honest, I have offended many people. If I show myself as the Sixth Prince, I believe I will attract a lot of attention, and no one will be able to recognize me," Su Yu said honestly.
However, Emperor Wu Hen's face was calm and composed. "You are the Sixth Prince of the Empire. No one can doubt you, unless someone has witnessed your entire life from the moment you were born."
Su Yu's eyes narrowed. Indeed, so what if King Beiwen and the Corpse Clan recognized him?
He was the Sixth Prince, and he was traveling at that time. What right did they have to doubt him?
As long as he could survive the identity test, who could doubt him?
"It seems like you agree. These are the information about the King. Read them carefully, and don't miss out on any details," Emperor Wu Hen said.
Su Yu took it, flipped through it casually, and shook his head slightly. "It's not enough, I need more details."
Since he was going to disguise himself, he had to disguise himself thoroughly.
Emperor Wu Hen was a little surprised. Su Yu's cautiousness was unexpected.
However, the more cautious he was, the better it was for them. "I will contact the King immediately. When you are done, get ready to meet your father!"
There was less than a month before the First Rain.
For the rest of the time, Su Yu carefully read through all kinds of information, not just about the King, but also about the appearance of the servants in the King's mansion, and even their eating habits.
Half a month later, Su Yu spat out a mouthful of turbid air.
He had understood everything that needed to be understood. Even if someone from the King's mansion came in person, he would be able to answer them fluently.
"How is it?" Emperor Wu Hen looked at Su Yu, who was calm and composed.
Su Yu nodded. "I am ready!"
"Good! I will inform the royal family immediately. The Sixth Prince has returned. If nothing goes wrong, Dongfang Xia will meet you in person soon! "Emperor Wu Hen was a little nervous.
Such deceitful behavior would be a great crime if it was found out.
Su Yu was also a little worried. He had seen the terror of the Three-Crown King with his own eyes. He could not be sure if the Three-Crown King would see through him.
Once he was seen through, he would not be able to escape from the Three-Crown King!
The two of them bid farewell with heavy hearts. Emperor Wu Hen reported the matter to the royal family.
Five days later, Emperor Wu Hen came to Su Yu's room with a mixture of joy and worry.
"Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?" Emperor Wu Hen looked a little uncertain.
"Okay."
"The good news is that you do not have to meet Dongfang Xia. Two months ago, a fire dragon at the level of the Two-Crown King appeared in the empire. It wreaked havoc in all the feudal lands, capturing the kings and devouring their blood and souls. One of the three great Two-Crown Kings, the Gray-Robed King, was seriously injured and only managed to escape to the Soul Crystal!"
"This dragon is too powerful. Dongfang Xia personally led two great Two-Crown Kings to hunt it down. He will not be back for a while."
Su Yu's eyebrows rose with joy, and he heaved a long sigh of relief.
However, where did the fire dragon of the Two-Crown King come from?
To be able to seriously injure the Gray-Robed King, who was also a Two-Crown King, meant that its strength had probably reached the peak of the Two-Crown King.
"You are extraordinarily lucky." Emperor Wu Hen could not contain his joy, but he immediately frowned. "You do not have to meet Dongfang Xia, but you cannot avoid having your bloodline tested."
Su Yu said, "Since the special methods of the royal family that you used the other day could not detect any problems, there should be no risk in this trip."
Emperor Wu Hen's frown deepened. "I am not worried about the test. What I am worried about is that during the test, all the children of the royal family will be present to observe, including the eldest prince, Dongfang Wudi!"
This was not the first time Su Yu had heard of this person.
He was the only one among the younger generation of the entire Dayu Empire who was as famous as Bei Wangchen.
"This person is overbearing and ruthless. If he is present, I am afraid there will be complications!" Emperor Wu Hen's face was filled with worry.
Su Yu did not care. He said calmly, "Don't worry. As long as Dongfang Xia does not come personally, I can solve any problems on my own."
Emperor Wu Hen smiled in relief. "I am really relieved that you are so confident. Fortunately, Princess Ruchen will be accompanying you on this trip. If necessary, she can mediate for you."
The day of the bloodline test was set for the next day.
However, what surprised Emperor Wu Hen and Su Yu was that not only would the children of the royal family be present to observe the test, but the representatives of the Ten Great Kings were also invited to witness it!
The Ten Great Kings were naturally unable to attend the test personally. However, when the Dao Rain came, they had sent their descendants to the Imperial City.
Therefore, they had come as representatives of the Ten Great Kings to observe.
When he learned about this, Su Yu could not help but feel uneasy.
