Cangfeng Imperial City, the central imperial palace.

Lan Xueruo's footsteps hurried, passed through the heavy guards, and went straight to the emperor's bedchamber. The palace guards he met along the way saluted.

"Princess Cangyue, you're back. The emperor is thinking about you these days. At the gate of the emperor's bedroom, a middle-aged eunuch bent down and walked up quickly: "Do you want a small report?" ”

"No, I don't. Lan Xueruo shook her head and walked straight into the emperor's bedroom.

Cangwan, the ninety-ninth emperor of the Cangfeng Empire, is the emperor of the world, and he is powerful all over the world. He is fifty-six years old this year, and the palace life is pampered, at this age, it should not be enough for an emperor to show his old age, but Cang Wanyan is lying quietly in bed, his face is dull, and his eyes are even more gloomy, like an old man in the twilight of seventy or eighty years old.

"Your Majesty, Princess Cangyue is back!" his personal eunuch walked in lightly, his face full of joy.

Hearing this, a trace of eagerness appeared on Cang Wanyu's lifeless face, his upper body moved, and he struggled to stand up: "Quick, let her in." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Lan Xueruo walked in, and when she saw Cang Wanyu's obviously much older face and the eagerness in her eyes, she felt a slump in her heart, walked forward quickly, and knelt down on her knees in front of Cang Wanyu: "Father, my daughter is not filial, and it took so long to visit you this time." ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Cang Wanyan nodded happily, at this time there was no trace of the majesty of an emperor on his face, only the love of an ordinary father facing his beloved daughter: "Get up quickly." It's been more than three months since you last came back from Crescent City, and I'm also restless during this time, for fear that something will happen to you, hehe, it's okay. ”

"There was a little incident on my daughter's side, which delayed some time and made my father worry. Lan Xueruo got up and looked at her father's appearance, with a sour nose: "Father, your condition ...... Why does it seem to be aggravated again? With Master Gu personally treating him, how can this still happen?"

"Ahem......" Cang Wanyan was just about to speak, when he coughed violently, he gasped a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Perhaps, I am really old, although this illness is serious, but with Master Gu, it will not kill me immediately, but sooner or later, I will be angry to death by this group of rebels...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

After saying two words, Cang Wanyan coughed painfully again, and Lan Xueruo hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back.

At this time, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." ”

Cang Wanyu's body was stunned, and Lan Xueruo's face suddenly became unpleasant. Then, a roar came from Cangwan's mouth: "Let him go! I don't want to see him!"

"Oh, what made my father so angry. My father is sick now, but I must take care of my body and don't get angry. ”

With the sound of a loose voice, a young man in his thirties, dressed in a gold-patterned dress, walked in with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Lan Xueruo, he squinted his eyes and laughed: "My dear imperial sister, I just heard that you are back, I didn't just come in a hurry, I haven't seen you for a few months, I miss it so much." ”

"You rebel, whoever let you in, get out of here immediately!" Cang Wanyan stretched out his trembling fingers and roared angrily.

"Don't be angry, be careful of hurting your body, your son is just concerned about your father's illness, and he came to visit, if his father doesn't like it, his son will leave immediately. Prince Canglin said with a smile, his casual expression did not have the slightest fear when facing the angry emperor, let alone respect and fear.

"Visit?" Cang Wanyan sneered: "Come and see if I have died violently in bed?" I tell you, as long as I still have a breath of air, you don't want to get this throne! Don't even think about me making a decree to pass on the throne! Get out of here with me!"

"Father, why be so stubborn. The crown prince Canglin pouted: "Xiao Zong's existence is so good, now I have Xiao Zong's full support, as long as I am allowed to ascend the throne, Xiao Zong will be used by me, and our Cangfeng royal family will only be more prosperous and prosperous, and the world will ......."

"Shut up...... cough, cough, cough, cough ......" Cang Wanqi's face turned red, and his chest rose and fell violently: "Xiao Zong has coveted the power of my Cangfeng royal family for a long time, and you rebels dare to lure wolves into the room...... If you are allowed to become the emperor, the thousand-year-old foundation of my Cangfeng royal family will exist in name only, and I will become a puppet of others! I boast that I am a famous and martial artist, and I have raised you rebels! Get out! Get out of here!"

Lan Xueruo was already clenching her fists angrily, she couldn't tolerate it anymore, and said angrily: "Didn't you hear what Father Emperor said! Get out of here! Neither Father nor I want to see you again!"

"Tsk, why bother. Cang Lin shook his head and grinned: "Father, you are not young on the throne, and you should give up, and even if you don't want to, sooner or later it will only fall into my hands...... My dear imperial sister, I heard that you have not stayed in Cangfeng Xuanfu for the past two years, but have been running around outside, are you in a hurry to find a colt?

"Get out!" Lan Xueruo gritted her teeth, her heart was extremely angry.

"Hahahaha! Cang Lin let out a burst of wild laughter, turned his hands behind his back, and walked out unhurriedly.

"This bunch of rebels...... Rebel!!" Cang Wanyu's face turned red with anger and trembled.

"Father, they are already crazy, it is not worth it because they are angry, and their bodies are important. Lan Xueruo patted her father's back and tried to calm the anger in her heart.

After being silent for a while, Cang Wanyan finally calmed down, he smiled sadly, and said, "All along, I thought that I had cultivated seven sons of tigers and leopards, but I didn't expect that my seven sons ...... It's all a pack of jackals. Fortunately, the heavens have given me a little mercy, so that I still have your daughter. It's a pity that you are a daughter, otherwise, I can directly pass the throne to you...... But if you do, it will hurt you...... Cang Lin and Cang Shuo, the two rebels, one colluded with Xiao Zong, and the other colluded with Burning Heaven Gate, hehe...... No matter who of them succeeds in the end, we, the Cangfeng Royal Family, will become the puppets of others...... The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes. ”

"Father, don't worry too much, I will definitely do my best to stop them. Lan Xueruo bit her lip, and her eyes were covered with a faint mist.

Cang Wanyan smiled and shook his head: "These seven rebels are divided into two camps, and the power of the court and the central government is basically controlled by them, as well as the secret help of Xiao Zong and the Burning Heaven Gate, what do you do to stop them? I hope the most, if that day comes, you will leave this imperial city and hide as far away as possible, I am afraid that this group of rebels will treat you as a pawn for interests...... In that case, I will really be blind. ”

"No, father, with Master Gu here, your illness will definitely be cured, and you will live a hundred years. Lan Xueruo held back her tears and shook her head vigorously.

"Hehe," Cang Wanyu smiled desolately, he knew best what his physical condition was, and he had even been wondering if this inexplicable serious illness had fallen into the conspiracy of Cang Lin or Cang Shuo? He closed his eyes and said in disappointment: "I have reigned for nineteen years, and in the end I know that this emperor has been a failure. Regardless of teaching these rebels, my first wish to ascend the throne back then was for my Cangfeng royal family to wash away the shame in the 'Cangfeng Ranking Battle', but, nineteen years later, I have only gotten the shame that has never been interrupted again and again...... How sad it is that no one in the royal family of my majestic Cangfeng Empire can enter the top hundred, and I have become the laughing stock of the people of the world again and again, and I will never be able to raise my head in front of those sects!"

Lan Xueruo's eyes flashed, and Yun Che's figure appeared in her mind, and a warm feeling also grew in her heart, which made her heart calm down a lot, and she said softly: "Father, this wish of yours will definitely come true." In the past two years, my daughter has traveled to the major Xuanfu Mansions, looking for such a person with the emperor's heart, and her daughter's efforts have not been in vain, just a month and a half ago, her daughter found this person, and she has brought him to Cangfeng Xuanfu, and her daughter will try her best to let him represent our royal family in the next Cangfeng Ranking Battle...... The daughter believes that he will definitely enter the top 100, achieve his father's wishes, and wash away the shame of our royal family. ”

"Next term...... I'm just afraid that I won't be able to wait for that time, cough, ......cough,

Lan Xue knew that with her father's body, it was not suitable to say too much. She helped her father cover the quilt and said softly: "Father, you have a good rest, you must take care of your body." The daughter still has some things to do, and she will come to visit her father tomorrow...... Uncle Dongfang, please be sure to protect my father. ”

After Lan Xueruo's voice fell, an old and deep voice came from above the dormitory: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, with the old man here, no one will be allowed to hurt a single hair of the emperor." ”

Lan Xueruo nodded gratefully and left the emperor's bedroom.

No one knows how much pressure she, the only princess and the youngest child of Emperor Cangfeng, carries a lot of pressure on her thin shoulders, and how much hesitation and heaviness is buried in her heart......

――――――――――――――――――――

The central square of Cangfeng Xuanfu was huge, and since this was the last day of recruiting disciples this year, it was filled with dense crowds. More than half of them are young Xuanfu disciples who have been assessed, and a small half are Xuanfu disciples who have come to see the excitement.

Although it was already the last day of the assessment, the number of young Xuanmen who were assessed was still quite huge, and the assessment was divided into three hundred groups, and with Qin Wuwu's intervention, Yun Che was inserted into the ninety-ninth group halfway.

The assessment is divided into two parts, namely the Xuanli test and the combat power test, which sounds the same, but there is an essential difference in the form of the assessment.
