"That's strange. I also heard that North Wangzhu was originally engaged to the First Prince, but ever since she met the Sixth Prince, she was so shocked that she couldn't eat or drink. The Beixin family came to His Majesty and begged for a decree. His Majesty only agreed to it because of the Beixin family's contributions. He even rewarded the royal family for this."
…
On the streets of the imperial city, in a luxurious carriage, the North Gazing Pearl's cheeks flushed as she listened. She stomped her feet and gnashed her teeth, saying, "Which rumormonger started this nonsense? How did it spread like this?"
When did she plead? Since when did he seek death and hang himself?
What was even more ridiculous was that the whole family of the Beixin family came to the Imperial City to plead. It was ridiculous. Someone actually believed it.
"Sister, you can't blame others." North Wangting, who was beside her, laughed. "You chose the Sixth Prince. To be honest, Grandfather, Father, and Big Brother were all very surprised. They thought you were really interested in the Sixth Prince."
North Wangzhu's face turned red. "I … I couldn't stand his arrogant attitude. Didn't he just save the Beixin family? What right did he have to look down on me? He even mouthed to me and said he wasn't interested in me. He told me not to choose him! Brother Wangting, don't you think he's too much? "
North Wangting couldn't help laughing, but he stared deeply into her eyes. "He is indeed too much, but I'm thinking, when will our calm, steady, and intelligent sister lose her composure and act on her emotions?"
"I didn't!" North Wangzhu hurriedly defended herself.
North Wangting's eyes gradually sharpened, as if he could see through her heart. "Is that so? Then have you noticed that since when did your eyes rarely linger on Big Brother? "
North Wangzhu's expression froze. "Second Brother, what do you mean?"
"You know what I mean." North Wangting said indifferently. "I can see your abnormal feelings for Big Brother. I wanted to stop you, but you've changed. This is all thanks to Su Yu's appearance and that curse."
North Wangzhu felt as if she had stepped on air and fallen into a bottomless cliff. The secret she thought only she knew had been seen through by her low-key second brother.
"Little sister, be at ease as the Sixth Prince's bride. I've met him before, or rather, he once saved my life. I know him better than any of you." North Wang Ting said, "You might still be guessing at the Sixth Prince's goal and plot in saving our North Xin branch."
"But I think he just doesn't want to see our Beixin faction get implicated because of him."
"He is a man of righteousness. If you really marry him, you will be a hundred times better than the First Prince!"
The North Gazing Pearl was stunned speechless.
"I really like him?" The North Gazing Pearl was perplexed. If it wasn't for her second brother mentioning it, she wouldn't have realized that she rarely paid attention to Bei Wang Chen. The feelings she had hidden in her heart in the past had vanished into thin air.
Her mind was filled with hatred for him after she woke up from her dream.
But now that she thought about it, if she really hated him, why had she never thought of killing him?
Was that really hate? Or was he deceiving himself to hide his desire and yearning for the dream?
"We're here," said the coachman.
North Wang Ting patted her on the shoulder. "Don't think so much, just be a good bride. Come, let's customize your phoenix robe."
This was the most famous custom-made clothing shop in the Imperial City. Many members of the royal family came here to have their clothes customized.
If one didn't have a certain status and identity, they might not receive them.
The North Gazing Pearl nodded.
Soon after, they took their measurements and left.
The boss of the custom-made clothing saw them off with a smile. Looking at their receding figures, a strange look flashed across his face.
In the Sixth Prince's mansion, the royal tailor also came to take Su Yu's measurements and customize the groom's clothes.
Su Yu was extremely helpless.
He was grounded by Dongfang Xia and was not allowed to leave the palace.
In fact, even if he was not grounded, with Dongfang Xia's power, once he left, Dongfang Xia would immediately notice.
But until now, Su Yu still couldn't figure out why Dongfang Xia wanted him to marry the North Gazing Pearl.
Why was he willing to offend his eldest son in order to facilitate this marriage?
He didn't think that Dongfang Xia was simply teasing him.
This person was good at planning and every move he made had a profound meaning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lured the Corpse Clan, Dongfang Shenlei, and many other potential enemies to one place and annihilated them in one go.
His seemingly meaningless actions must have some ulterior motive.
After the tailor left, Su Yu simply trained on the spot.
In the ruins of the Great Yu, he had obtained many good things.
One was the Evil Dragon Bible, and the other was the dragon's blood.
"The body that was stolen by the Sinful Lady has been tempered by the divine blood of the World Annihilation Dragon and the Epoch-making Dragon. It has also cultivated the Evil Dragon Divine Body to the divine body level. What a pity."
"However, this time I have obtained the Evil Dragon Bible, which is far more powerful than the Evil Dragon Divine Body. The dragon's blood is also the blood of the fire dragon of the four-crowned emperor. The quantity is far more than the dragon's blood tempered in the past. If I continue to train, the effect will be far better than before."
Secondly, after absorbing the dragon's blood, the power of the Royal Power Dragon Sword could be further enhanced.
With that in mind, Su Yu immediately entered a state of isolation.
Under the state of time acceleration of 500 times, he took out two gourds of dragon's blood and drank it all in one gulp.
The bitter and spicy feeling hit him like a flood, and then turned into a flame burning in his body.
Even the current Su Yu felt waves of pain from it.
"This dragon's blood is quite fierce. I wonder if it originated from the fire dragon," Su Yu muttered to himself and began to train with his eyes closed.
Three days later, Su Yu had already spent more than two years.
The dragon's blood in the two gourds had been completely tempered.
His skin was fiery red, and dragon scales were faintly visible under his skin, emitting bursts of heat.
His eyes were engulfing and spitting flames. At first glance, it was somewhat similar to True Lord Fire Dragon's Real Dragon Divine Fire.
He had seen the power of the Real Dragon Divine Fire with his own eyes. The body of the four-crowned emperor, Evil Dragon Lord, had been incinerated by the divine fire.
"This …" Su Yu was secretly surprised. He did not expect that tempered divine blood would bring about a faint wisp of Real Dragon Divine Fire.
Although it was not as powerful as True Lord Fire Dragon, it could still easily burn a single-crowned emperor to death. Even a double-crowned emperor would lose a layer of skin in the face of this flame.
Apart from that, his physical strength had also greatly increased!
Compared to the past, his strength had increased tenfold, comparable to when he did not have the Law of Great Strength.
Combined with the Law of Great Strength, he should be able to double his previous limit.
The Tianyi Bow was pulled back three inches, and the power that erupted from it would definitely increase dramatically.
Of course, the most important thing was the Evil Dragon Bible.
After two years of training, he had barely reached the Lower Class of the first stage, Nirvana of the Evil Dragon.
He could transform into an evil dragon and fight with his enemies.
However, he would only know its specific power after some testing.
He had wanted to continue training, but Princess Ruchen and Emperor Wu Hen had come to visit.
"Congratulations, brother. You have found a marriage," Princess Ruchen said with a smile as soon as she saw him.
Emperor Wu Hen could not stop smiling. "I really have to congratulate you. The North Facing Pearl is a famous beauty of the empire. Many people are envious of her."
Su Yu invited them in, closed the door gently, and said calmly, "You are not here to congratulate me, are you?"
He sat down casually and said, "There is no need to hide our relationship. Just tell me what you have to say."
Just when he was upset, the two women were being secretive and not as free and easy as they used to be. He was even more displeased.
Princess Ruchen stuck out her tongue apologetically and massaged his shoulders in an ingratiating manner. "Brother, don't be angry. We were just joking."
Emperor Wu Hen also apologized. "We are treating you like an outsider. This time, we have indeed come to ask you something."
They were nervous, but they did not know if they should ask.
Glancing at them, Su Yu knew what they wanted to ask. He sighed and said, "There is no need to guess. Dongfang Xia knows everything. From the moment I, the 'Sixth Prince', appeared, he knew I was a fake because he already knew about the fall of the real Sixth Prince."
All of a sudden, the two women's beautiful faces turned pale, and they were extremely shocked.
Emperor Wu Hen's face was ashen, and he slumped weakly into the chair.
"However, you do not have to worry too much. If Dongfang Xia wanted to punish me, would he have let me live until now? Would he have forced me to marry the North Facing Pearl in the name of the Sixth Prince? "Su Yu tried to calm them down.
He analyzed, "Although my identity is fake, not only did I not do anything to harm the empire, but I also saved the empire's fate. Dongfang Xia should be well aware of this, so he will not blame you."
Hearing this, the two women thought about it carefully, and their heavy hearts eased.
"Sigh, we did not expect things to turn out this way. Now, Mister Su has suffered, and we have an engagement for no reason." Emperor Wu Hen sighed.
Su Yu shook his head. "It is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame it on me for thinking too simply of Dongfang Xia."
"Brother, why don't you stay here?" Princess Ru Chen squeezed his shoulders diligently, and said with a smile, "Since father pretends not to know anything, let it go on like this. I quite like you, my brother."
Su Yu rolled his eyes. "Cut it out! How is my current situation any different from being imprisoned? "
"Moreover …" He frowned deeply. "I still have to find someone."
Princess Ru Chen patted her chest with her small hand. "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you, and help you find those two friends."
Now that she was the heir to the throne, she had ten great feudal lands, and powerful officials from all over had come to visit her.
It was not a big deal to ask them to help her keep an eye on two people.
"Don't go, brother," Princess Ru Chen said coquettishly.
Su Yu patted her hand, and sighed with a bitter smile. "Do you think there is any hope for me to leave now?"
He could feel a gaze sweeping over from time to time, probing his movements.
It was Dongfang Xia, who was staring at him like he was a thief!
He did not think that Dongfang Xia would really see him as a son.
Such an ambitious and ruthless person would never allow an existence that he could not control to remain by his side.
He would definitely take action to get rid of the Sixth Prince, or use a reasonable method to remove him from the Sixth Prince's name, so that he would no longer be a threat.
This was the question that had been on his mind for the past few days.
What was Dongfang Xia up to?
"Your Highness, the young princess of the North Gazing Pearl and the young prince of the North Gazing Pavilion are requesting an audience."
Them? Su Yu sighed. "Let them in."
