Douluo: The First Empire
Chapter 18 Prince Xue Qinghe
On the second floor of Tiandou Newspaper Office, Lu Yu was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed comfortably. He turned his head and opened his mouth, but there was no response. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Shui Bing'er had already sat next to him to revise the draft. He coughed twice. He hummed loudly, looking like he was still recovering from a serious illness.
Shui Bing'er, who was engrossed in the situation, was disturbed by the movement next to her. She turned around and saw Lu Yu pretending to be sick. Shui Bing'er also knew that she was at fault. She originally just wanted to wake him up from the cold, but she didn't expect that her soul skills would be directly destroyed by his. The martial spirit was dispelled, and he tried to test his martial spirit for the second time, but it froze him.
So in the past few days, Shui Bing'er has been able to tolerate Lu Yu's extravagant advances. Whether it was serving tea or water, or squeezing his shoulders and back, she just wanted to squeeze Lu Yu to death every time, which made Lu Yu grin. .
Who told him to tease his sister every time she was around? Even though he was practicing in the academy, he would inevitably be teased by his sister about it.
The clay figurine was still angry, not to mention Shui Bing'er. Just when she was about to throw the pen in her hand at Lu Yu's face, there was a commotion on the first floor of the newspaper office. Not long after, several people ran upstairs in a hurry. , panting and saying:
"President, the Tiandou Royal Knights are waiting for you below."
Lu Yu no longer had any intention of teasing Shui Bing'er. The Royal Knights coming to pick him up in person must be as big an event as Lu Xu's promotion to the title Douluo. But now the only big thing that can happen is the third prince's life.
When I thought about Qian Renxue's promise to help me as soon as possible, I was afraid that she would have already done it by then.
Silly girl, what are you doing in such a hurry? When the time comes, I have ten thousand ways to kill them.
She was blaming Qian Renxue in her heart, but she moved very quickly. She ran straight to the carriage where the Royal Knights had been packed, and then she started to tidy up her appearance. She took out the Peacock Prince's court clothes from the soul guide and put them on one by one in the carriage. It's neat, it will be very dangerous for a while, don't let them take advantage of it.
Everyone in the newspaper office is also astonished now. How could the president be invited by the Tiandou royal family?
Everyone in the newspaper office only knew that the president knew Huang Wei Si and that he was a wealthy young master in Tiandou City, but they did not know his other identities. But how could such an ordinary identity be invited by the royal family?
At this moment, curiosity about the identity of the boss was aroused, but in the end it was the chief executive who put an end to everyone's increasingly outrageous imagination.
Shui Bing'er, who was standing on the balcony on the second floor, clutched the railing tightly with her fingers and looked at the carriage going away with worry. She just saw that Lu Yu's performance was completely different from his usual laziness. state, and very anxious, this time must not be a good thing.
Shui Bing'er didn't know why she was worried about him. That bastard scared her when they first met, and later deliberately made herself embarrassed in front of her sister. Why should she worry about him? She must be afraid that if he dies, her job will be gone.
Well, that must be the case, Shui Bing'er deceived herself, but she didn't notice that the railing had cracked due to the cold.
Lu Yu was thinking about the various situations he would encounter next in the carriage. The worst case scenario was that Qian Renxue was eager to take action, and the evidence had been found by Emperor Xueye. He was currently detained in the palace. Calling him over would only serve as a witness. The prince is just being judged.
Then he needs to do something to give Qian Renxue a chance to escape. Lu Yu does not believe that the Tiandou royal family has the ability to keep Qian Renxue.
If Emperor Xue Ye didn't catch any substantive clues, then this matter would be promising.
When Lu Yu arrived, there were many people in the palace. The leader of the Tiandou Royal Knights and the Minister of Dali Temple were kneeling on His Highness, and in front of them was the body of the third prince Xue Haizang.
Zhongshu Fu Ling, the six ministers, the four cabinet bachelors and the chief ministers of the cabinet, as well as the princes still in Tiandou City were all present.
Xue Qinghe was standing behind Emperor Xue Ye with his head lowered. The ministers looked at Xue Qinghe with disbelief and fear in their eyes.
When Lu Yu saw this scene, he no longer had the initial worry. Although Emperor Xue Ye had no evidence that it was Xue Qinghe, he was already well aware of the matter, but he had not yet pulled off the fig leaf.
The royal family chose to keep the news of the eldest prince's death secret because the eldest prince's death was suspicious and had such a great impact that it was impossible to determine which party was responsible. But now that the eldest prince and the third prince died in exactly the same way, there is no doubt that Point the murderer at the biggest beneficiary.
The Tiandou Empire had always succeeded to the throne through the eldest son, which made them very uncomfortable with such a bloody battle for the right to inherit the throne. Therefore, without evidence, they did not know how to treat Xue Qinghe.
It has probably been ten years since the Tiandou Empire saw such a spectacular scene of all the princes gathering together. However, this group of high-ranking officials who were usually very imposing and scolded Fang Qiu did not dare to move at this time. Emperor Xueye glanced at him and lowered his head. The ministers finally found their target.
Said: "Master Dali Temple, do you have any clues?"
The minister of Dali Temple who was named stood up tremblingly and said:
"Weichen didn't find any useful clues."
"Yeah." Emperor Xueye did not get angry, but changed the subject and said:
"I wonder if my beloved will live a long life this year."
The Minister of Dali Temple suddenly turned pale and sobbed:
"Wei Chen is now seventy-two years old, and he has reached the age of taking care of himself."
In fact, the physical fitness of the residents of Tiandou is very good. They are generally fourteen years old. Ordinary people without war basics can live to more than 80 years old. What's more, although their cultivation is not high, senior officials who are good at taking care of themselves can even retire in their nineties. It's a common thing.
Now that the Minister of Dali Temple has been removed by Emperor Xueye, the remaining people are even more in danger.
"The leader of the Royal Knights failed in his duty to guard the imperial court, resulting in the third prince being killed by an assassin and thrown into a prison."
By now, everyone understood what Emperor Xue Ye wanted to do. The Minister of Dali Temple knew too much, so he needed to go home to take care of himself. This pot was too big, so he had to ask the leader of the Royal Knights to carry it on his back. It is very difficult to end well.
Prince Snow Star, who was originally hiding in the corner with Xue Beng, now wanted to hide outside the palace.Unexpectedly, the elder brother turned a blind eye to the second prince who killed his brother, and even found someone to help him take the blame.
Asking people to take away the bodies of the two suffering ministers and Xue Haizang, Xue Ye said:
"Ahem, two princes have been assassinated in succession, and my body has also been damaged by the Japanese drama. In order to protect the inheritance of our Tiandou Empire, now we need to establish a prince, strictly protect him, and stabilize the people's hearts. Dear princes, do you have a candidate?"
There is only one prince of the right age left, and the other is still a child. Who else can I choose?
But still no one dared to say this, until Cai Gongyan, the chief minister of the cabinet, took the lead and said:
"I believe that the second prince is a quick thinker, good at both civil and military affairs, familiar with government affairs, benevolent and caring for the people, and is indeed the best choice for the crown prince."
Lu Yu couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Cai Gongyan. Why did he speak faster than me? It was actually inappropriate for Lu Yu to speak at this time, but someone had to take the lead.
Seeing that the chief assistant had made a good start, everyone followed suit.
"Wei Chen also thinks that the second prince is really the best candidate."
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal for the second prince to be the crown prince."
Emperor Xueye pressed down and said:
"Since all the beloved ministers have recommended the second prince to be the crown prince, Xue Qinghe will step forward to hear the appointment."
Xue Qinghe, who was behind him, walked to the front of the hall and knelt down and said, "Xue Qinghe is here."
"From now on, you will be the crown prince of our Tiandou Empire. You must be diligent and studious, know people well and be responsible for their duties, and be diligent in government and love the people."
"Yes, Qinghe will definitely live up to the Tiandou Empire."
Xue Qinghe stood up and walked to the left side of the hall. When he saw Lu Yu in the crowd, he blinked and greeted him.Lu Yu couldn't help but put his forehead with one hand. Aren't you afraid of playing with such excitement?
The next step is for Emperor Xue Ye to arrange the funeral of the third prince. Since the news of the death of the first prince has not spread, the funeral of the third prince is also unknown to others, but it is much better than that of the first prince. At least everyone present must be present. .
After the ministers dispersed, Xue Ye relaxed his body and leaned on the throne. The second son Xue Luochuan and the third son Xue Haizang died in the hands of Xue Qinghe successively. It would be false to say that he was not angry or heartbroken, but Xue Luochuan died. Qinghe's viciousness also touched Xueye a lot.
If the method could be brighter or more perfect, Xue Ye would give way to him now. Unfortunately, it is still lacking a little bit and needs to be polished before he can do better than me.
Qian Renxue exchanged pleasantries with the officials who wanted to build relationships at the gate of the palace for a while, and then hurriedly ended the conversation. The officials did not dare to be unhappy, but this man was too cruel. He poisoned his two brothers, and Emperor Xue Ye still stood. He is the prince, and everyone is afraid that he will be remembered in the future, which will really offend the living king of hell.
When Qian Renxue returned to the room of Rensheng Palace, Lu Yu had already prepared two cups of tea and waited for her to come back. Qian Renxue sat down and looked at Lu Yu with a smile and blinked, but Lu Yu put down the teacup and patted Qian Renxue gently. Ren Xue rubbed her head and said:
"Don't do such a dangerous thing next time."
Qian Renxue felt the temperature coming from the palm of her head and said softly:
"I won't take the chance next time."
After hearing the answer he wanted, Lu Yu put down his palm, bowed to Qian Renxue and said:
"The common people have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Qian Renxue and Lu Yu were so amused that they laughed and feigned anger:
"If you dare to slap this prince on the head, what crime do you deserve?"
Lu Yu straightened up, held Qian Renxue's hand and said:
"Just punish the common people to follow the prince for the rest of their lives."
Qian Renxue's face turned slightly red with embarrassment, she took out her palm and said:
"Do you think this is punishment?"
"Of course not. This is the honor of my life."
Hearing Lu Yu's almost confessional words, Qian Renxue's heart beat so fast that her soul power couldn't hold it back. She quickly pushed Lu Yu out of the room and said:
"You are so brave, you unruly man. Get out quickly. I don't want to see you today."
Lu Yu, who was driven out of the door, smiled slightly and shouted into the room:
"Then the prince tomorrow still wants to see me, a cunning man like me."
Qian Renxue, who was curled up on the bed in the room, replied softly:
"Think about it, I really want to see you every day for the rest of my life, and I want you to see the real me even more."
Lu Yu outside the door seemed to hear the whisper inside:
"We will definitely have the opportunity to be together every day in the future."
Shui Bing'er, who was engrossed in the situation, was disturbed by the movement next to her. She turned around and saw Lu Yu pretending to be sick. Shui Bing'er also knew that she was at fault. She originally just wanted to wake him up from the cold, but she didn't expect that her soul skills would be directly destroyed by his.
