Chapter 154: The Truth

"Princess Cangyue...... She turned out to be ...... Princess Cangyue ......," Yun Che muttered a little distracted. As a citizen of the Cangfeng Empire, the name Princess Cangyue, of course, Yun Che would not be unaware. Today's Cangfeng Emperor Cangwan has a total of seven sons and one daughter, the prince is the "Canglong Prince" Canglin, and the only daughter is the "Cangyue Princess" Cangyue. When they were young, the emperor and princess were both legendary saves, and although he and Xiao Lingxi often fantasized about what the emperor and princess would be like, they never imagined that they would come into contact with each other one day.

As a boy, there is always a special fantasy about "princess", because the title of "princess" symbolizes nobility, elegance, beauty, and is the most perfect and noble woman in the world. Yun Che didn't expect that Lan Xueruo would be the princess of Cangyue that he had longed for and fantasized about countless times when he was a child, like many men.

He was sure that Lan Xueruo's identity must be extremely noble, but he never thought of her as a "princess". Because the princess was born in the royal family and is the only daughter of the emperor, she must have a strong squeamishness and domineering, but these can't be found from Lan Xueruo at all, only gentleness and kindness. is so kind to anyone, never arrogant, never discriminates and looks down on anyone, when she sees others in trouble, she will want to help as soon as she sees others...... These temperaments are completely different from the image of Princess Cangyue in his heart. At all, they are more peaceful and approachable than ordinary women from official families.

She is the princess of the moon...... And herself, just a wanderer from a small Liuyun City, with no background, no power, and no relatives, why did she treat herself so much in the first place?

"Since she is the Princess of the Moon, why was she in Crescent Moon City at that time?" Yun Che said distractedly.

Qin Wuwu didn't answer him directly, and asked rhetorically, "Yun Che, do you know the current state of the Cangfeng Imperial Family?"

Yun Che thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "I know a little bit, Senior Brother Sikong said it briefly before." It seems that the emperor is seriously ill, and the crown prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo are secretly preparing to compete for the position of the next emperor, and they hooked up with Xiao Zong and Burning Heaven Gate respectively. ”

Speaking of this, Yun Che's heart was blocked, and the emperor was seriously ill...... No wonder there was always so much sadness hidden in the depths of her eyes, so it was.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Qin Wuwu nodded, and then elaborated on it.

"About three years ago, the emperor suddenly fell ill and couldn't afford to get sick, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless. Later, I invited Gu Qiuhong, the first divine doctor recognized by my Cangfeng Empire, to diagnose and treat the emperor, and came to the conclusion that the emperor had been overworked all these years, and he had already been covered with dark diseases all over his body, and that time he was infected with wind and cold, so that all the dark diseases broke out, hurting the lifeline, so that the vitality became extremely weak, and the lifeline was damaged, and there was no medicine to treat, so he could only nourish day and night with great supplements, and there was no other way. ”

"Years of dark disease?, hurting the lifeline?" Yun Che's brows suddenly locked, there is still such a disease?

Later, dozens of famous doctors from all over the country were invited, and they came to the conclusion that the emperor was not sick at all, but his body was inexplicably weak. And these conclusions all point to the truth of what the miracle doctor Gu Qiuhong said. And Gu Qiuhong also said that if the lifeline is damaged, there is no medicine to treat, and if it is properly recuperated, the emperor can live for five years at most. As the first divine doctor of the Cangfeng Empire, Gu Qiuhong has never lied to his words in the medical Tao, and now three years have passed, that is to say, the emperor's remaining longevity is only two years at most. Last month, my brother also went to the palace to meet the emperor, and came back to say that the emperor's complexion was extremely poor, and his breath was weak, let alone two years, it was difficult to say whether he could support it for a year. ”

Yun Che: "......"

"Since the emperor's lifeline was damaged and bedridden, there was smoke and clouds in the royal family, and the crown prince Canglin began to knock on the side to let the emperor pass the throne to him as soon as possible, and the third prince Cangshuo has coveted the throne for a long time, and the two were initially just various secret fights, but with the escalation of the struggle, it began to turn into a clear fight known to everyone in the Cangfeng Imperial City. The crown prince is supported by the second prince and the seventh prince, and the third prince is supported by the fourth, fifth, and sixth princes. The two sides have always been evenly matched, and neither has been able to completely overpower the other. ”

Originally, this kind of struggle for the throne was normal within the imperial family, and almost every new emperor would have such a prelude before succession. The emperor has always let it go, but what no one expected was that the crown prince Canglin borrowed the power of Xiao Zong in order to suppress the power of the third prince Cangshuo. In order to compete with it, the third prince Cangshuo also borrowed the power of the Burning Heaven Gate. ”

"Alas. Qin Wuwu let out a long sigh and said: "For a long time, Xiao Zong and the Burning Heaven Gate have hidden ambitions, coveting the right to manipulate the world, and the royal family has been careful to deal with them all these years, plus the royal family has a good relationship with the Heavenly Sword Villa, and with the constraints of the Heavenly Sword Villa, Xiao Zong and the Burning Heaven Gate do not dare to really snatch the power of the royal family." But they take the initiative to snatch and the royal family takes the initiative to borrow their power, which are two completely different concepts. The latter, they can infiltrate their power into the royal family little by little through guΓ² Canglin or Cangshuo, and when the time comes, although the royal family is still surnamed Cang, the sovereignty is controlled by Xiao Zong or the Burning Heaven Gate, even if it is Tianjian Villa, they can't say anything. ”

"In this way, it is more likely that Xiao Zong and Burning Heaven Gate will take the initiative to lure Cang Lin and Cang Shuo. Yun Che said calmly.

"That's right. Qin Wuwu nodded: "The emperor was furious when he learned about this, but it was too late, because at that time, whether it was the crown prince Canglin or the third prince Cangshuo, their power was already all over the imperial court, even if he was their father, he could no longer forcibly shake it, not to mention that Xiao Zong and the Burning Heaven Gate were secretly helping on both sides." Even, if it weren't for the emperor's still some deep-rooted core forces and the protection of Tianjian Villa, the crown prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo might have forcibly forced him off the throne. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Wuwu's face was full of anger. After he calmed down, a distressed expression appeared on his face again: "Over the years, the crown prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo have become the protagonists of the royal family, and the emperor has been lying in the palace all the year round, almost forgotten. Among the emperor's seven sons and one daughter, in the end, only the only daughter who really cared for him and accompanied him was the only daughter, that is, Princess Cangyue. Alas...... In the past three years, she has really suffered her. Fortunately, she is just a girl, without any power and threat, otherwise, she may have been secretly persecuted by the crown prince and the third prince, alas. ”

"She wants to stop the crown prince and the third prince from luring wolves into the house?" Yun Che frowned.

She tried, but gave up because she couldn't have stopped it. Qin Wuwu shook his head sentimentally: "In this battle, our Cangfeng Xuanfu stands in a neutral place, and only owes allegiance to the emperor, and at the same time, it has also become the only backing of Princess Cangyue. However, the wishes of the disciples are beyond our control. Among the 100 disciples of the Inner Mansion, more than half of them have been brought under the command of the crown prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo, including Feng Bufan, who ranked second on the Inner Mansion Tianxuan List, and Fang Feilong, who ranked third. ”

"Knowing that her strength is low, it is impossible to stop the ambition of the crown prince and the third prince, Princess Cangyue, has always been by the emperor's side. Two years ago, in order to save the emperor's regret, she joined the Cangfeng Xuanfu as 'Lan Xueruo', and left a month later, and then left the imperial city, traveling to the major branches of the Xuanfu in China, looking for someone who could help her father achieve his wishes. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Wuwu looked at Yun Che fixedly.

"Am I the one she found?" Yun Che said, with no expression on his face: "What is her father's wish? Why did she choose me, why did she think that I could help her father fulfill this wish?"

"Cangfeng Ranked Battle. Qin Wuwu said five words lightly.

These five words made Yun Che's heart suddenly shake, and he blurted out: "Could it be ......?"

"Alas~~" Qin Wuwu sighed again, mentioning the "Cangfeng Qualifying Battle", his face also became very gloomy, he stood up, walked to the bamboo window with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Speaking of Cangfeng Xuanfu, everyone knows that it was established by my Cangfeng royal family, the largest Xuanfu in the entire Cangfeng Empire, and it is the dream place for countless young Xuanfu to cultivate Xuan. However, there are many sects in the Cangfeng Empire, and there are countless strong people, in the eyes of those big sects, my Cangfeng Xuanfu is just a joke. ”

"The Cangfeng Qualifying Battle was originally held every ten years, but then it was shortened to every five years, and a hundred years ago, it was shortened to every three years. From the first Cangfeng Ranked Battle to the end, it has been exactly ninety-nine. As the core of the country's political power, the Cangfeng Imperial Family will naturally be invited every time, but in the past ninety-nine years, the Cangfeng Imperial Family has never been able to enter the top 100! What a joke and humiliation. And when the current emperor ascended the throne, his greatest wish was to see the Cangfeng royal family squeeze into the top 100 of the Cangfeng ranking battle during his reign...... It's just that after nearly 20 years on the throne and six Cangfeng ranking battles, this wish has never been realized. Now that his life is coming to an end, this has also become his lifelong regret. In order to help the emperor realize this wish before he died, Princess Cangyue left the royal family and looked for a genius who could represent the royal family and win the top 100. After two years, she chose you. ”

β€œ...... Originally...... So. ”

Why Lan Xueruo was so kind to him, and even risked a huge risk to save him, this doubt was finally solved. Knowing the truth, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

"The Cangfeng royal family has a special kind of mystical skill, called the 'Emperor's Heart Formula', which can only be cultivated by those who have the blood of the royal family and have a pure heart. Among the seven princes and one princess, Princess Cangyue is the only one who has cultivated the 'Emperor's Heart Formula', with the 'Emperor's Heart Formula', you can peep into a person's life and fortune on a certain Cheng dΓΉ, Princess Cangyue should be through guΓ² 'Emperor's Heart Formula' to see the extraordinary number of lives and fortune in you, plus your amazing appearance in the Crescent Moon Xuanfu, so I chose you without hesitation. ”

Yun Che: "......"

"Now, do you understand what I mean by 'enlightenment'?" Qin Wuwu turned around and said meaningfully.

"Basically. At the very least, I want to represent the royal family to participate in the Cangfeng Ranking Battle for her. Yun Che's expression was flat, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"No, that's not much of an enlightenment on its own. After all, participating in the Cangfeng Ranked Battle is only about success or failure, not life and death. Qin Wuwu continued: "Two years ago, the reason why Princess Cangyue left the Imperial City and found the right person was only one of the reasons. And the more important reason is...... To escape from a terrible person. ”

"Who?" Yun Che raised his head slightly.

"The fourth place in the last Cangfeng Ranking Battle - the eldest son of the Burning Heaven Gate Master Burning Soul, and also the Young Master of the Burning Heaven Gate - Burning Absolute City!"
