Perfect control begins with the Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 168 Palace Assassination
"how come?"

Although Mu Xue's voice was very soft, it exploded in Wei Na's ears like a thunderbolt, making her face extremely pale all of a sudden.

Although the emperor has recently been persecuting Wei Na for the benefit of the Heavenly Soul Empire, wanting her to seek benefits for the empire against her will, this creates a layer of estrangement in the relationship between father and daughter.But how can the years of father-daughter relationship be wiped out?The news was like a bolt from the blue, and Wei Na couldn't accept it for a while.

"go!"

Feeling the sadness in Wei Na's heart, Lu Yishan felt a rare sense of guilt.With a flash of silver light, Lu Yishan and Wei Na had disappeared.

"I hope, father's guess is wrong..."

Looking at the empty scene in front of her, Mu Xue muttered softly.Even the nearest city defense army did not hear her words clearly.

Mu Xue's father is Mr. Yan Qing, the emperor's confidant counselor of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Although his cultivation talent is almost nonexistent, his strategy is the best in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Even before the emperor makes a major decision, he will choose to discuss with him.In addition, Mu Xue is Wei Na's best friend, and the father and daughter know everything that happened recently.

But a few days ago, the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire suddenly summoned the prime minister and the three dukes into the palace to discuss secretly for an hour, and news came out from the palace that the emperor was critically ill.Even the common people in the streets and alleys are secretly rumoring that the Tianhun Empire will usher in the second female emperor in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Everyone is watching the reaction in the palace, but the information to refute the rumors has not arrived yet.Now Tiandou City seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, there is already a dark tide in the dark.

Mu Xue's father, Yan Qing, did not get the slightest word about the secret meeting of the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire a few days ago.Even after learning that the emperor was seriously ill, he asked to see him several times, but was ruthlessly rejected.Coupled with all kinds of news and changes from the palace, Yan Qing had an astonishing guess in his mind.

I'm afraid that the critically ill emperor in the palace at this time has either been replaced by a civet cat for the prince, or has been out of control.

Who will be the black hand behind the scenes depends on who can get the most benefit from it, the greater the suspicion.

…………

In front of a heavily guarded bedroom in the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with a flash of silver light, the figures of Lu Yishan and Wei Na slowly emerged.

"Meet Her Majesty the Princess."

Feeling the fluctuations of the soul power, many imperial guards came, and when they saw Wei Na's figure, they all put away their weapons and knelt down on the ground.

"Father!"

At this time, Wei Na didn't care about these things, and rushed into the bedroom quickly, and came to the bedside of the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The dying Emperor Tianhun slowly opened his eyes after hearing the voice.

After just a quarter of an hour, Wei Na's crying soon spread out of the bedroom.

One day later, the entire Tiandou City was filled with mourning.

In the imperial palace at this time, many high-level officials of the Heavenly Soul Empire gathered together to discuss the candidate for the next emperor.

Although Wei Na has a lot of brothers and sisters, there are only a handful of them who are truly qualified to inherit the throne.In addition to Wei Na, who was rumored to be nominated by the previous emperor, another half-brother, the Second Prince, was the most vocal.Many officials constantly questioned the legitimacy of Wei Na's succession to the throne on the grounds that women should not be emperors and that the emperor became unconscious after a serious illness.

A young man in filial piety with a bit of arrogance on his face was standing in the center of the hall, looking up from time to time at Wei Na who was standing next to the throne, her eyes were red and swollen, the pride and resentment in her eyes could hardly be concealed .

So what if the father is eccentric?How can a woman get the approval of the military and officials if she wants to ascend the throne?
Standing alone in front of the numerous officials were four figures, they were the three Dukes of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the prime minister who was the leader of the civil service.The four of them kept silent all the time, allowing the many officials behind them to perform hard.

"It's time for this farce to end."

At some point, Lu Yishan's figure slowly appeared beside Wei Na, grabbing her cold little hand.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the figure suddenly appearing beside Wei Na, the second prince was startled, and he clearly recognized Lu Yishan's identity from the subtle changes in his facial expression, but he still pretended not to know, and walked to the front and asked loudly.

"From now on, Wei Na is the new emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Who is in favor and who is against?"

Lu Yishan's voice was not loud, but under the effect of his soul power, it covered all the voices in the entire hall.

"A woman, what qualifications does she have..."

When the entire hall fell into silence, an official jumped out from the crowd. Before he could finish speaking, a vigorous old man at the front pulled out the long knife from his waist and cut the official directly. into two halves.

"Night Duke, you..."

Seeing the blood continuously dripping from the long knife soul guide in the old man's hand, the second prince's face changed and he took a few steps back again and again.

The three dukes of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the three together control nearly half of the entire Heavenly Soul Empire's military strength, which can be said to represent the military of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"Uncle, as long as I can ascend to the throne, I will split the land and divide the territory, and canonize the southwestern land as a principality. Uncle, you will become the first king."

Gritting his teeth fiercely, the second prince secretly transmitted a voice with his soul power.

The second prince's uncle is the glorious Duke of the Heavenly Soul Empire, who controls the Royal Guards.If he could get his support, it would be easy to control the entire palace.At that time, he will naturally be able to ascend the throne of the emperor.

"According to the late emperor's will, Princess Wei Na is the best candidate to inherit the throne."

After wiping off the blood from the long knife in his hand, the Duke of Dark Ye stared at the officials in the hall with lightning-like eyes, and said loudly.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

The successive statements of the Duke of Starlight and the Prime Minister caused all eyes to fall on the Duke of Radiance.

"Seconded!"

Following the two words spit out from Duke Guanghui's mouth, the silent officials immediately understood the current situation and said in unison at the same time.

"Princess Weina please ascend the throne!"

Seeing the drastic change in the situation, the second prince's expression was extremely gloomy, and he made a strange gesture with his right palm hanging down at his waist.

A looming illusory figure came out of the shadow in the corner of the hall without a sound, turned into a phantom and rushed towards Wei Na, the speed was astonishingly fast, almost the moment the shadow appeared, it had already arrived In front of Wei Na.

"Shadow Douluo?"

Two or three surprised voices sounded from the hall at the same time, and the two closest dukes subconsciously wanted to intercept them.But the speed of the titled Douluo of the agility attack system, like a fleeting image, made it impossible for the two of them to react in time.

This is a titled Douluo who was active in the Three Kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent, and even an extremely rare killer.He claimed that as long as he could afford the corresponding price, he would not escape his assassination.
