Chapter 172: The Emperor's Secret

Of course, Your Majesty will not destroy the Starry Night Mouth, not to mention that even if the mouth is extinguished, right now, he and the Starry Night are really fighting, and it is not certain who will destroy whom.

Through the perception of the power of the Imperial Spirit, there was no one around, and it was only him and His Majesty right now.

Unless, hidden in the shadows, the power of the spirit is far greater than his, so that he can avoid his perception.

"Come on. His Majesty beckoned again.

Starry Night walked up to a high position and came to His Majesty,

His Majesty pointed to the dragon chair and asked with a smile, "Do you want to sit?"

Starry Night hurriedly shook his head, this is going to lose his head.

"It's not a big deal to sit here, it's important to be able to take on the responsibilities that this position entails. You see what this is. ”

His Majesty stood up, the entire dragon chair was empty, and Starry Night saw that the back of the dragon chair was carved with a pattern of a real dragon.

At first glance, it is no different from the real dragons around it.

"What's the difference?" asked His Majesty, a small test.

Starry Night said casually: "There are only dragons, no phoenixes." ”

In the main hall, there are many patterns, but they all follow the meaning of the dragon and phoenix, and even the handrails are there, but there is no here.

"And what?" asked His Majesty again.

Starry Night looked at the dragon pattern map carefully, and didn't see any difference, but after releasing the perception of the spirit master, he faintly seemed to detect some breath fluctuations.

His face changed, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that there is a real dragon sealed in this?"

His Majesty shook his head and said, "I don't know, the secret I want to tell you has something to do with it." ”

Starry Night looked at His Majesty with a straight color, and there was really a secret to tell him.

"Actually, we are not the bloodline of the Star Martial Emperor......"

Just this sentence startled Starry Night.

Everyone in the empire knows that the royal bloodline comes from the Star Martial Emperor, but His Majesty actually vetoed it today.

"A thousand years ago, after Emperor Xingwu founded the Xingwu Empire, he picked up a baby and gave it to the surname Li, which is our ancestor. When the ancestor grew up, the emperor passed the throne to the ancestor, and at the same time entrusted him to use the emperor's blood to warm this dragon pattern. ”

"Over the past thousand years, the throne has changed for more than ten generations, and each generation of emperors has not been able to sit on the throne for a hundred years, because of the loss of a large amount of their own essence and blood, and their lives ended early. ”

Starry Night remembered the scene when he saw His Majesty in the Imperial Study, and His Majesty at that time looked like an old man in the twilight.

He thought it was his own delusion, but now it seems to be the result of the loss of sperm and blood.

"After Emperor Xingwu, the cultivation potential of every emperor in the next generation is not high, and it is also because of this reason. ”

His Majesty looked at the dragon pattern and said, "I have been cultivating the dragon pattern for decades, and my essence and blood have suffered a serious loss, and I can't last long, so let Li Xian come back and take the throne." ”

Starry Night said, "But does the prince know?"

The emperor shook his head, "I don't know yet, but the moment I become an emperor, I will naturally inform him." ”

"It's not fair, Your Majesty should tell him in advance and let the prince make his own choice. Starry Night said.

Becoming an emperor means that life begins to count down, and you may die after decades, which is not acceptable to everyone.

"Emperor Xingwu has conquered the country, but we have enjoyed the glory and wealth and supreme glory, so naturally we have to pay these corresponding prices!"

His Majesty said: "As the crown prince, this is his duty! ”

"Why did Your Majesty tell me?"

Starry Night looked at His Majesty puzzled, this is the biggest secret of the empire, and saying it will inevitably cause a great shock.

"Because the emperor said back then, we use the emperor's essence blood to warm the dragon pattern, just to wait for a person to come. ”

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the starry night and said this.

Starry Night was stunned for a moment and said, "That person is me?"

"Quite possibly. ”

This is the main reason why His Majesty told the truth about Starry Night, after all, this is the biggest secret of the Starry Empire.

Starry Night thought back to what the Great Emperor's clone had said, he had obviously not seen him, but he could guess who he was.

Now, His Majesty has said such things again.

Could it be that Li Xiuxuan knew that he was coming here thousands of years ago?

"But what can I do?" Starry Night wondered.

His Majesty is also not clear about this.

Regarding this secret, it has been passed down by generations of emperors themselves, except for Li Qingqing's accident, only His Majesty the Emperor knows.

Now even the crown prince Li Xian does not know, unless it is the day of his accession to the throne.

This time, His Majesty called Xingye over to tell him the truth, and at the same time let Xingye know that he was not long dying, so it was urgent to arrange for the crown prince Li Xian to ascend the throne.

Because other people don't know this secret, they all have ideas about the throne, and there will inevitably be turmoil during the period.

Starry Night, the dragon protector, is a big backhand to protect the prince in the turmoil.

During this period, of course, His Majesty will try his best to eliminate dissidents and help the crown prince ascend the throne smoothly.

Starry Night left the palace with doubts, but it was Gonggong Yan who sent him out, and the starry night in the chariot seemed to be preoccupied.

Coming to this place by himself was purely an accident, and he escaped aimlessly for his life.

But Li Xiuxuan predicted it thousands of years ago, and even gave a prophecy, knowing that Starry Night is only a teenager this year.

"How so?"

Starry Night was puzzled, "Could it be that he has the ability to predict the future?"

However, what does the dragon pattern that needs to be guarded by the emperors of the past dynasties with essence blood have to do with themselves?

Along the way, Starry Night was thinking about all kinds of possibilities, guessing all kinds of possibilities, but she couldn't figure it out.

In the end, he smiled dumbly, the empire has been established for more than a thousand years, and has experienced more than a dozen emperors, and they have not discovered the secret, and it is natural that they can't figure it out.

After all, the previous kings of the past dynasties were able to lead the Xingwu Empire to prosper for thousands of years, and their wisdom was much higher than their own.

When he was about to return to the inn, Starry Night didn't bother about it anymore.

Not long after returning to the inn, the third prince came again.

There are already some negative rumors about the two of them, which makes Starry Night very embarrassed, and secretly thinks about whether to avoid suspicion.

At this moment, the third prince came in, and no one dared to stop him.

Every time he came over before, he had a smile on his face, but this time he was preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" Starry Night asked.

"I'm going home. The third prince said.

"Isn't it nice to go home?"

Starry Night looked puzzled, isn't it normal for the other party to come here and tell him that he wants to go home?

"I'm leaving the imperial capital. The third prince said again.

Starry night suddenly, it turned out to be this meaning.

"Although I was a little reluctant, I had to leave after all. ”

The third prince looked at the starry night and said, "Before leaving, I thought I should say goodbye to many people, and there should be many friends to see me off, but in the end I found that there was no one, so I came to you and took the initiative to say goodbye to you." ”

Starry Night said: "When to leave, I will send His Highness." ”

"No, I don't want you to see me go, I want you to see me back. The third prince said, "I hope that when the time comes, you will be in the welcoming column." ”

"That's nature. Starry Night said.

The third prince left, and it is said that he left the imperial capital that night and left in a hurry.

Also on that night, the elders of the Qingniu Sect in the imperial capital told Starry Night that they could go back to practice.

The next day, the group set off back to Qingniu.
