"Your Highness, the Left Prime Minister, Yuwen Gui, sent a message."
In the Later Qin Crown Prince's Palace, the guard captain found Dugu Xiu, who was practicing in the training room.
A beautiful concubine was helping Dugu Xiu change out of his sweaty training clothes.
Dugu Xiu took the letter and glanced at it casually. After reading the contents of the letter, Dugu Xiu's expression changed.
"Donghuang Ling 'er of the Eastern Capital is a fake." He waved his hand and pushed the beautiful concubine away.
"The Left Prime Minister said in the letter that he saw the real princess in Tianyi City. He has watched the princess grow up since she was a child. There is no reason for him to mistake her. Crown Prince, should we ask the Eastern Capital about this matter? "The guard captain asked.
The Crown Prince's marriage had been a topic that everyone in the Later Qin was concerned about in the past few years.
Dugu Xiu was already 18 years old. Although he had many concubines and concubines, the Crown Prince's wife who could inherit his bloodline was still undecided.
Donghuang Ling 'er was the princess of the Eastern Capital. Her status was noble. Everyone in the Later Qin approved of this marriage.
Dugu Xiu also planned to get married as soon as possible. After all, marrying the Crown Prince's wife was just a formality.
As long as the woman was not Yun Sheng, it was the same to him.
"Ask the Eastern Capital? Hmph, how do you think the Empress Dowager and Dongjun will answer? How could the Empress Dowager and Dongjun not know about the princess running away? "Dugu Xiu had already asked around about Donghuang Ling 'er.
He heard that the princess was not only beautiful, but also talented in magic. It was said that she was a dual-element magician.
However, her personality was completely different from the current Dongjun. She was a willful and unruly princess.
Unfortunately, in a large country like the Later Qin that worshipped martial arts, a crown prince consort with outstanding talent in magic and an unruly personality was at most a flower vase.
Dugu Xiu's impression of the royal family was that they were weak. Donghuang Ling 'er dared to run away. This news made Dugu Xiu curious about this princess.
However, no matter how unruly she was, if a bird was disobedient, its wings should be broken.
Regardless of whether it was a princess or a dual-element magician, in Dugu Xiu's hands, they were just political chess pieces.
"Then are we just going to drag this matter on? Recently, the Third Prince's henchmen have been saying that the Crown Prince does not have an heir, which is not good for the future of the Later Qin, "the guard captain said respectfully.
Dugu Xiu had a lot of power in Later Qin, but he was only the crown prince. There were still a few princes eyeing him covetously.
No matter how capable the Crown Prince was, he had never had an outstanding heir.
The heir of the Crown Prince had always been a topic of concern for the officials in the imperial court.
The Crown Prince's aides also believed that the Crown Prince should marry the Crown Princess as soon as possible and give birth to a child with an outstanding bloodline. This way, the Later Qin could continue to prosper.
"Men, prepare a carriage. This Crown Prince is going to the Eastern Capital. I want to see how long that fake 'Princess' can disguise herself in front of this Crown Prince." Dugu Xiu sneered.
As long as he could confirm the identity of the other party, even if he had to personally go to the continent's magic elite camp, he would still find out who the person was.
Women were nothing more than playthings to satisfy his physiological needs.
As for Donghuang Ling 'er, even if she had the bloodline of the Imperial Clan, he could still crush her arrogance one by one and throw her into the mud, making sure that she would never be able to rise again.
Before Dugu Xiu set off, he also ordered someone to bring the news of him going to the Eastern Capital to the Eastern Monarch.
The Eastern Capital was a typical Jiangnan city. It was the oldest capital city in the continent, and it had a rich cultural atmosphere.
This place was adjacent to the easternmost Dongyu River of the Boundless Continent. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery was very beautiful.
In an ancient and somewhat majestic palace, an Imperial Guard Captain told the Eastern Capital's Empress Dowager Situ Miaoqing and the Eastern Monarch, Donghuang Tianqi, about the arrival of the Later Qin's ceremonial guards at the border of the Eastern Capital.
"What? The Later Qin's Crown Prince, Dugu Xiu, wants to enter the palace to visit a patient?" The Eastern Capital's Empress Dowager was around 40 years old. She had a beautiful appearance, and her eyes were very similar to Donghuang Ling 'er.
Donghuang Tianqi was Donghuang Ling 'er's elder brother. His face was pale, and it seemed that his body was not very good.
"Mother, what should we do? Did Dugu Xiu find out something? "Donghuang Tianqi was very fond of his younger sister, Donghuang Ling 'er.
Earlier on, he was also against the marriage between the Later Qin's Empress Dowager Situ Miaoqing and Donghuang Tianqi. However, as he was alone and weak, and most of the officials in the imperial court were bribed by the Later Qin, he had no choice but to agree to his younger sister's marriage.
Because of this matter, Donghuang Ling 'er was angry with him for a long time. It was only until he agreed to let his younger sister secretly go to the continent's Magic Elite Camp that the situation became better.
A few months ago, his younger sister even wrote a few letters to him. From the letters, it could be seen that she was very happy in the continent's Magic Elite Camp.
Empress Dowager Situ shook her head and said, "The matter of Ling 'er secretly going to the continent's Magic Elite Camp is very secretive. It is impossible for outsiders to know about it. I think that Dugu Xiu only wants to check on Ling 'er's condition. After all, he is already Ling' er's fiancé in name. "
Empress Dowager Situ had heard of Dugu Xiu's great reputation. Towards this future son-in-law of hers, she also had many taboos.
"If it's just to check on Ling 'er, it would be fine. But if …" Donghuang Tianqi felt somewhat uneasy.
"If Dugu Xiu comes, tell him that Ling 'er has contracted a strange disease and can only see him through a curtain. They are only engaged, and according to etiquette, they shouldn't see each other directly. "Empress Dowager Situ quickly came up with an idea. She immediately instructed her subordinates to keep their mouths shut and not leak any information.
That night, Dugu Xiu arrived at the Eastern Capital.
The first thing he did when he arrived at the Eastern Capital was to bring some medicinal ingredients with him.
Empress Dowager Situ and Donghuang didn't expect that the Later Qin's Crown Prince, Dugu Xiu, would actually enter the palace in the middle of the night. The two of them panicked and hurriedly came out to meet Dugu Xiu.
The magical palace lanterns were lit, and the palace in the Eastern Capital was brightly lit.
This was the first time that Empress Dowager Situ and Donghuang Tianqi saw one of the rumored Wuji Five Annulus, Dugu Xiu.
It was said that the Later Qin's Dugu Xiu was a malefic star, and there was no one in the continent who didn't know of his ferocious name.
Today, when they saw him, they saw an extraordinary man standing in the imperial court.
He had a head full of red hair that resembled flames.
His figure was tall and sturdy, and he wore a crown prince's yellow robe, which made him look extraordinarily noble.
The previous five states of the continent were all vassal states of the Donghuang Dynasty. Although the Eastern Capital had declined, according to etiquette, when Dugu Xiu met Empress Dowager Situ and Donghuang Tianqi, he should still treat them as a subject.
"Dugu Xiu greets Donghuang Tianqi and Empress Dowager Situ." Although it was the etiquette between a subject and a monarch, the Later Qin's Crown Prince, Dugu Xiu, didn't kneel at all, let alone the etiquette between a subject and a monarch.
He only bowed slightly.
When Donghuang Tianqi and Empress Dowager Situ saw this, they were very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.
The current Eastern Capital was nothing in the eyes of the Later Qin.
If the Later Qin's Crown Prince angered him, Donghuang Tianqi's life would be in danger.
