Chapter 72: Succession

After these things are settled, there is still the question of the succession of the new emperor.

King Rui gave the jade bone flute to Jiang Luo'an, and the meaning was already very clear. He didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the court anymore, he wanted to let it all go.

But Su Chenyu didn't want to take on this burden now, and with his current prestige, it was difficult to convince the public. In King Rui's house, the two men argued.

King Rui believed that he had been in a coma for many years, and that he knew very little about the current situation, and that there was not much left of the original power in the court, and that his succession was not suitable. But Su Chenyu said that in the hearts of the people, the former emperor had a very good relationship with him. If he rashly succeeds now, I am afraid that it will arouse public resentment.

Both men have their own reasons and both want to convince each other.

After some quarrels, King Rui was the first to lose.

He said helplessly: "That's it, I'll take this matter." I'll give it to you in a few years. ”

That night, King Rui went to the dungeon to see the emperor.

The emperor's cultivation was abolished, and when he was weak, he stayed in the cold dungeon, and the whole person curled up in a ball.

Hearing someone coming, he reluctantly raised his head and struggled to open his eyes.

When he saw the visitor, his eyes widened in shock, "You-how could it be you, you're not even dead!" ”

After reacting, he smiled sadly, "I see, no wonder I haven't found your body for so many years." You've been hiding so well all these years, I haven't found you no matter how much I look for it. ”

King Rui's entanglement with him is already in the past, and he doesn't want to mention it anymore, nor does he want to listen to the chatter of the person in front of him.

He only said expressionlessly, "Where is the jade seal?" Leave it to me. ”

The first emperor laughed, "If you want it, you can find it yourself, I won't give it to you." ”

King Rui asked him again, but he refused to give it to death, so he stopped talking nonsense with him, and directly cut off the meridians of the emperor.

Few people can bear the pain of broken meridians, let alone the former emperor who has been pampered for many years. He immediately screamed and almost passed out.

Originally, he was abolished by Su Chenyu for cultivation, but he only had no spiritual power around him. If he still wants to continue cultivating, he can start all over again. But now that his meridians are broken, even if he can ask a master to pick it up, it is absolutely impossible to go back to the past. His path of cultivation is broken.

Seeing that the emperor was no longer powerless to resist, King Rui stepped forward, rummaged in his arms, and took out the jade seal.

With the jade seal in hand, the next thing you can prepare is the enthronement ceremony.

King Rui first summoned the ministers in the name of Su Chenyu. These people thought that Su Chenyu and the Jiang family joined forces to rebel, just so that Su Chenyu could ascend to the throne as soon as possible, but they didn't expect that it was King Rui who called them over.

Shouldn't King Rui have been a dead man long ago? Some of the people present were shocked, some were in tears, and some felt that it was just a change of emperor, which did not have much impact.

Seeing the different expressions of the people present, King Rui glanced around, distinguishing what they were thinking from the subtle expressions on their faces.

Among these people, there are people who joined forces with the emperor to assassinate him, and there are also people who have been loyally protecting Su Chenyu for so many years. Now that he is in power, this account can be left for later and slowly settled.

When asked what objections he had to King Rui's accession to the throne, none of the ministers said anything against it.

The throne itself should have been his, and now that he has woken up, it is only natural that he should return it to him. Even if someone wanted to talk about his disappearance for many years, they were afraid of the jade bone flute in his hand and Su Chenyu's power, so they silently shut their mouths.

The enthronement ceremony took place shortly after. Although the ceremony was held suddenly, it was still orderly, and all affairs were prepared, and there was nothing missing.

The first emperor was taken by someone and forcibly finished reading the ceremony.

If you give him a change of clothes, let him sneak to see it. But Su Chenyu decorated him in brocade clothes, and pretended to have a guard, saying that there were many people here and wanted to protect him.

Fortunately, everyone present could notice him.

The first emperor hated it in his heart, knowing that this was a means used by Su Chenyu to humiliate him, so that he could watch his former subordinates ascend to the throne under the gaze of everyone, while he could only be a wasted person.

He was so angry and humiliated that he immediately snatched the sword from the guard beside him, and tried to kill himself.

The guard was succeeded by him because he didn't pay attention to him. Seeing that the emperor wanted to commit suicide, he had to do it, so he quickly snatched the sword.

The guards didn't expect that the first emperor would be deposed of his cultivation, so he easily took the sword away. He even injured the wrist bone of the former emperor because of the force used.

Seeing the appearance of the emperor covering his wrist in pain, the guards couldn't help but sigh. The originally high-ranking people would end up in such a miserable end.

It just so happened that Jiang Luoan came over at this time. She wanted to see what happened to her former enemy, but she saw the scene where the emperor wanted to kill himself.

Jiang Luoan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter, can't you stand this humiliation anymore?" Anyway, he was a person who used to be the emperor, why didn't he even have the ability to bear it? ”

The emperor looked at her indignantly, but did not say a word. For fear that he would say something wrong again and incur more ridicule.

After the enthronement ceremony, King Rui can no longer stay in the prince's mansion as before, drink tea, tease the birds and enjoy the flowers. The twists and turns of the batch and the affairs that should be handled are indispensable.

There were too many twists and turns that had accumulated during this time, and King Rui was just in good health and couldn't overwork, so Su Chenyu shared a part of it for him.

After the inside and outside of the palace gradually returned to calm, Su Chenyu and Jiang Luoan entered the palace to meet King Rui, who is now the saint.

When they passed, the emperor was tired of playing and folding in the study, and he was playing with the jade seal of the country.

The eunuch on the side showed the two of them to sit down. The emperor didn't have a shelf at all, so he still let them sit casually like in the prince's mansion.

Jiang Luoan stared curiously at the jade seal in the emperor's hand. She hasn't seen this heirloom jade seal yet. Such a large piece of jade was carved out completely, and the bottom of the jade was slightly red because of the penetration of ink, which made it even more crystal clear.

The emperor saw Jiang Luo'an's eager eyes, and handed her the jade seal, "Take it and see it." ”

Jiang Luoan was taken aback, and after taking the jade seal, he took a closer look. This jade seal is really extraordinary, and the dragons carved around it are vivid, and they are almost about to take off.

She took it in her hand and looked at it, and she didn't know where her fingers were pressed, and she felt that the jade seal was partially dented.

It's over, it won't break this jade seal, right?

Jiang Luoan hurriedly checked it and found that there was a small depression on the jade seal. But it was a boxy piece that had obviously been cut, and she couldn't have made such a regular shape.

Su Chenyu also came around, and after seeing Yuxi's appearance, he laughed and said, "What should I do, you actually broke it, how can you afford to accompany it now?" ”

Jiang Luoan glared at him and tried to use his spiritual power to take out this small piece.

A hole was carved into this jade seal, and this small square piece of jade was gently stuck on it in order to block the hole. Ordinary people wouldn't touch here, who would have thought that Jiang Luoan would dare to play with the jade seal like this, and then he discovered its secret.

There is still something hidden in the small hole above the jade seal. Jiang Luoan took it out and found that it was a small jade seal.

This jade seal is the same color as the previous ones, and it is one of the nine major fragments.

Su Chenyu asked for this little jade seal. This was of little use to the emperor, and he generously handed it over to the two of them.

On the way back, Jiang Luoan proudly showed off his discovery to Su Chenyu.

"If I hadn't accidentally bumped into it today, I wouldn't have found this so quickly, so it can be seen that I am smart and lucky."

Su Chenyu couldn't help but sigh, "This jade seal has been in the hands of the emperor for so many years, and he hasn't discovered this secret yet, it's really stupid." ”

The two went back to the Prince's Mansion first. This little jade seal is a treasure that everyone wants to get, and it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, so it is better to absorb the energy inside first.

In the bedroom, Su Chenyu protected Jiang Luo'an and helped her absorb it as soon as possible.

This little jade seal was no different from the previous two when absorbed, and Jiang Luoan successfully digested it completely.

When the spiritual power is running in the body, it is constantly washed and strengthened by the energy contained in the jade seal. When the absorption was complete, Jiang Luoan could clearly feel that his cultivation had improved a lot.

She tried the eye's ability, but she didn't find out what the third level was.

Could it be that the energy inside is not fully absorbed? Jiang Luoan picked up the jade seal and took a look, no, it was obviously all absorbed.

So what exactly is this third ability? She was a little puzzled, until she raised her head and looked at Su Chenyu, and then she suddenly realized it.

This third ability turned out to be perspective!

Su Chenyu was obviously standing in front of her, but after he used his ability, he became translucent in his eyes. The doors and windows of the tables, chairs, and windows blocked by Su Chenyu's body were all clearly visible, and Jiang Luoan could even see the delicate patterns on the bronze mirror on the table behind him.

That's all it takes, what makes Jiang Luoan very embarrassed is that as a result, the clothes Su Chenyu is wearing are almost the same as if he didn't wear them.

She lowered her head a little embarrassed, not daring to look up at Su Chenyu again.

Su Chenyu was also a little anxious when she saw that she had tried for a long time and didn't find out what the ability was. Now when I see her like this, I know that she has found out.

"Well, what's this ability?" He asked eagerly.

Jiang Luo'an refused to answer, and only said vaguely: "Where do I know, let me try again." ”

Su Chenyu didn't give up, "Why don't you say it, I still helped you come over this little jade seal, so you have to tell me." ”

Seeing that he was so eager to ask, Jiang Luoan simply gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Perspective, this time the ability is perspective." ”

Su Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"I see, no wonder your face was wrong since you first looked at me. Tell me, what exactly do you see with this ability? ”

It must have been a very impactful scene, otherwise Jiang Luoan's face would not have been so strange.

Listening to his laughter, Jiang Luoan was even more embarrassed.

Where would she have thought that the ability would be this. If she had known earlier, she would have killed Su Chenyu and not looked at Su Chenyu.

Jiang Luoan waited for a long time, but Su Chenyu couldn't stop laughing there. She couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

It's enough to laugh, it's worth laughing for so long.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luoan wanted to turn around and go out to avoid this embarrassing scene. But Su Chenyu's hand was always on her shoulder, and now she felt that she wanted to leave, and she was restrained by a heavy pressure of her hands.

Jiang Luoan couldn't help but struggle, "If you want to laugh, just laugh here alone, I won't accompany you." ”

As soon as her words fell, she saw Su Chenyu's face suddenly change.

"What's going on?" Seeing his pale appearance, Jiang Luoan was also anxious and hurriedly checked his pulse.

Su Chenyu's physical condition is not as bad as before, but it is not much better, and there are often some minor problems. Jiang Luoan hurriedly took out the pill from his arms and poured a glass of water to help him take it.

"Probably because when I was helping me absorb it just now, the consumption of a lot of spiritual power was a little more." Jiang Luoan said while conditioning him: "You have to pay more attention in the future, and remember to take the pill in time after using spiritual power." ”
