Volume 16 Chapter 17
Volume 16, Chapter 17 [Parting Gift]
Wang Rui casually transformed into a guest, slowly approaching Prince Augs, and since everyone's attention fell on the emperor and queen, no one noticed him.
Prince Augs behaved almost perfectly in front of everyone, not only looking dignified against the backdrop of a brocade dress, but also showing humility and politeness in words and deeds, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
If you only see this person for the first time, you will think that he is a rare prince, and it seems that he should inherit the throne.
In addition, Wang Rui also discovered the figure of Princess Siqi, in comparison, her whole person seemed to be much more low-key and cold, more just for today's banquet, it seemed that she still had something on her mind, and her brows were a little locked.
Wang Rui's divine sense carefully avoided the king-level powerhouses in the main hall, and only locked on Augs alone.
Next to Augs stood a number of older concubines, but one of them was very young, on a par with Augs, and the two seemed to be communicating, in voices that no one else could hear.
Wang Rui's divine sense was immediately divided into a part of the woman, and soon, he was shocked by the truth of the conversation between the two.
This young concubine is strictly the elder of Augs, and she is a new concubine accepted by the emperor half a year ago, because the emperor is unwell, she has long been resentful, and Augs is tempted by the side, so the two have already secretly hooked up, but no one knows about it for the time being.
Wang Rui suddenly had a plan, and the potion in his hand was released instantly, but it was quickly kneaded into two weapons by Wang Rui's spiritual power, and then instantly came to the front of the concubine Augs, and was inadvertently inhaled by the two.
After about a dozen breaths, both of them felt something strange and wrong, but they couldn't take their eyes off each other, and soon, the two became enthusiastic and hugged each other, which surprised everyone around them.
But what was even more surprising was still to come, the two of them were entangled like out-of-control beasts at the moment, making it impossible to look at them directly, and the screams began to sound, quickly spreading throughout the hall.
The emperor and the queen were a little strange, and soon a chamberlain came to report, and suddenly the two of them turned pale, and soon walked to the place where the accident occurred.
That ugly scene made the emperor faint with anger on the spot, and the emperor directly ordered the two to be sent to the cold palace, waiting for investigation and distribution.
Lei Yun and other ministers were even more disdainful of Augs's disruptive behavior, although they did not clearly state their position, but it was already clear from their eyes that their position had quietly changed.
Princess Siqi finally knew what was going on, but she still couldn't believe it, after all, this was a big hall, and in front of the emperor and queen, she couldn't imagine that the two would put aside their shame desperately.
Soon, she thought that Augs must have been framed by others, but the key is that whether or not he was framed at the moment is not the most important thing, and if something like this happens, it is basically decided that Augs cannot become the heir, otherwise the Fire Phoenix Dynasty will become the laughing stock of Nanyue Continent.
"Who the hell could it be?" Princess Siqi kept searching for possible characters, but found nothing, and suddenly something came to mind, Wang Wei and his Taoist companion mysteriously disappeared, according to her investigation, it is likely that someone kidnapped his Taoist companion, and the identity of the kidnapper seems to be Auggs.
However, she can't know whether this speculation is correct, but there is no doubt that after such a farce, her chances of winning are not good, but from this time on, she will get the support of the Wenchen lineage, with the support of the two major factions of Wenchen and military generals, even if the emperor is reluctant, he will not be able to stop the general trend.
At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion in the main hall again, and it seemed that someone in the teleportation array took the opportunity to forcibly open the teleportation, and also injured some royal worshippers.
"Sure enough, it's him." Princess Siqi was even more sure now, and only Wang Wei was the one who opened the teleportation array and went to the Qingluan Dynasty.
That night, Princess Siqi was secretly summoned by the emperor, and at that time, Lei Yun Wenxiang, another respected military minister, and a large number of core civil and military ministers were gathered in the emperor's room, as well as the royal family.
The emperor was already very weak at this time, and looked like he was about to die.
"Siqi, although you are not my flesh and blood, you have royal blood, and for decades, you have been leading the Yan army to guard Northern Yan, suppressing the demon beast army, and making the Fire Phoenix Dynasty peaceful and peaceful, you have made great contributions. On behalf of the Fire Phoenix Dynasty, thousands of people and thousands of Fire Phoenix monks, I thank you for your great kindness." Although the emperor was very weak at the moment, he still struggled to salute Princess Siqi.
Princess Siqi immediately knelt down, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister, and I don't dare to take credit."
"Okay, what a duty, your duty can make the fire phoenix stronger, Siqi, you tell the widow, if you are allowed to sit in the position of emperor, do you have confidence?" At this time, the emperor's spirit suddenly became much better, and he regained his former dignity and unfathomable dignity for a while.
The civil and military ministers on both sides and the old ministers of the royal family knelt down one after another, they understood that the emperor had run out of oil and was about to go away.
Si Qi knew that she had no way out at this time, even if she didn't want to inherit the throne, these civil and military ministers around her would forcibly put it on her head, and she inherited the throne, which met the expectations of most people.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say that he has 100% confidence, but the soldiers of my Fire Phoenix Dynasty are second only to the Qingluan Dynasty and stronger than the Black Snake and Red Dragon Dynasty. As long as the country is stable, the people are abundant, and more war materials are delivered to the front-line soldiers, the minister is confident that he will build the Huohuang Dynasty into the first dynasty in his lifetime." Princess Siqi said in an oath.
The emperor nodded approvingly and said, "Okay, I really didn't misunderstand the wrong person, historians, all Aiqing, today I have decided to give the inheritance of the throne to Princess Siqi, and I will be the new monarch from now on.
"The ministers swear to die to repay the king's grand wish!" At this moment, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs temporarily abandoned the intrigue and swore allegiance.
"Okay, so...... I can smile too...... Nine springs...... Prince Augs was demoted to a concubine and exiled for thousands of miles, and Concubine Yun was buried by my side, so good...... I...... Go...... Also!" After speaking, this generation of emperors who had reigned for nearly a hundred years closed his eyes and passed away suddenly.
"Your Majesty's ......" Suddenly, the ministers of civil and military affairs all cried loudly, and the historian quickly recorded the scene before the emperor's death, and at the same time wrote an edict of succession, read it out in public, and then handed it to Princess Siqi.
At this moment, Princess Siqi was still in a trance, she suddenly felt that all this came too easily, and what she originally thought was almost difficult was at this moment, and it came easily, which made her even feel a little unreal.
"Wang Wei, I owe you a favor, I hope you can find the reincarnation of the person you love......" Princess Siqi silently thought to someone in her heart.
She received a letter left by Wang Rui to her, which mentioned some hidden truths, and she didn't expect that she looked so similar to one of Wang Rui's Taoist companions, but obviously, she was not her, so Wang Rui decisively left and continued to embark on the journey.
The edict soon announced to the world that the first empress of the Huohuang Dynasty was born, causing a sensation among the major dynasties of Nanyue Continent, and for a time, the fame of Empress Siqi spread all over the continent.
Besides, Wang Rui took Ha Na to forcibly enter the teleportation array in the palace, injured the royal worship guarding the formation, and also suffered some injuries, but it was fine.
When I opened my eyes, I found that there were many people around, close to hundreds of people, and these people were not ordinary monks, let alone mortals.
Everyone came from all over the world of South Vietnam, so they all bowed to each other and said hello.
Walking out of the teleportation array, Hana asked with concern, "Big brother, how is the injury?"
"It's okay, just rest for a few days." Wang Rui coughed a few times, feeling that the meridians were still a little damaged, after all, there were two king-level powerhouses in the royal worship, and it was still difficult for him to deal with king-level powerhouses in his current appearance, but unfortunately the injury of the Yuan Shen could not be solved overnight.
This is the royal capital of the Qingluan Dynasty - Tianyi City, compared to Tianhuo City, the scale of the city here is more majestic, and the streets are more prosperous, worthy of being the first dynasty of the four major dynasties.
The two people who walked out of the teleportation array soon found that they were in the power of a sect, and the large teleportation array was established in it, this sect was called "Qingluan Sect", and after some inquiry, they understood that this sect had a very high status, which was equivalent to the state religion of the Qingluan Dynasty, and many elders were born in the royal lineage.
The surrounding space is forbidden, and it is impossible to fly with objects or qi, even if it is a Yuanying monk, and he has to honestly take the road of the teleportation array down the mountain, which shows that the strength of the monks of the Qingluan Dynasty is higher than that of the fire phoenix.
He Na helped Wang Rui down the stone steps, and at the same time looked at the surrounding scenery, and found that the scenery of the Qingluan Sect was very beautiful, all kinds of strange flowers and plants abounded, and there were tall tree people walking near the sect, these tree people were often hundreds of meters high, and even thousands of meters high, which was very spectacular.
A particularly crisp birdsong came, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Wang Rui couldn't help but look up, and suddenly saw a different big bird flying through the sky.
This big bird's entire body is covered with emerald feathers, dotted with Taoist light, with a slender neck, a head a bit similar to the ancient dragons, a very long tail, a full hundred meters, when flapping its wings, there will be spiritual rain constantly falling, so that the demon beasts or plants moistened by the spiritual rain will get benefits, but it is ineffective for monks, just ordinary rain.
This mysterious bird soon disappeared from the sky, which is impressive.
"Could it be that this is the Qingluan Divine Bird?" Wang Rui said to himself.
Naturally, Han Na didn't know, the two continued to descend the mountain, and finally came to the foot of the mountain after about an hour, and soon, the other monks summoned the magic weapon or directly rose into the air and left the Qingluan Sect.
This should only be a part of the outer part of the Qingluan Sect, which belongs to the teleportation position area, as for the real Qingluan Sect Mountain Gate, I'm afraid not anyone can enter it.
