Douluo: Emperor of Light

Chapter 223

At the court meeting, relying on his previous prestige and decisive courage, Emperor Xue Ye handled all the tasks extremely quickly, and even felt a little urgent and rough.

This is an unimaginable thing for Emperor Xue Ye, who is deeply versed in politics. Maybe he did this in the early days of his succession, but now he is rarely so rude.

However, even so, even leaving some disasters behind, he still had to do it.

Because, my time is running out.

"Cough cough cough...cough..."

With Xue Luochuan's support, Emperor Xue Xueye, who was about to go back to the bedroom, suddenly coughed, and the dark red blood oozes from the handkerchief, feeling an unspeakable sense of shock.

However, Xue Ye reacted as usual, and quickly squeezed the handkerchief into a ball to hide the bloodstain.

"Father!"

Xue Luochuan looked anxious, and was about to send an order to the doctor, but was stopped by Emperor Xue Ye.

Xue Ye put away the handkerchief as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the palace with her steps still calm.

If he hadn't felt that trembling hand, Xue Luochuan might have thought that his father was fine, but now, he can only imagine the pain that Xue Ye endured.

"Calm down, don't make a fuss, O'Neillette will take care of the outside affairs, and we'll talk about everything when we get back to the bedroom."

Xue Ye's voice reached Xue Luochuan's ears, making him slightly stiff, trying to hold back the sadness in his heart, and try his best to maintain his facial expression.

Fortunately, nothing happened by accident. When he returned to the bedroom, Xue Luochuan hurriedly helped him take off his gorgeous and heavy coat, only to see that Emperor Xue Ye's lapel was already covered with sweat stains.

The most critical thing is the black blood seeping from the well-wrapped cloth on the chest.

This is a deadly and unsolvable toxin, and it also carries some kind of power, the wound caused by it!
"Father, your injury has worsened, you must pass it to the court physician, otherwise..."

Xue Luochuan's tone was anxious, and there was a sense of persuasion in his words. He no longer took this kind of disrespectful words to heart.

When Xue Ye was assassinated back then, it was naturally a real thing, not a self-directed and self-acted one.

Therefore, the injuries that fell were also extremely serious. This is confirmed by everyone, and it cannot be faked at all, otherwise the ministers and nobles would not be so blatant.

It was precisely because of his serious injuries that Emperor Xue Ye had paid a huge price for his current awakening.

Under the special martial spirit and means of the court physician, the life potential was forcibly consumed and turned into burning in a short period of time. Xue Ye's pale and weak face fully explained the current state of this man.

Xue Ye was sweating coldly, lying on the bed, and began to let out a sigh of relief.

Such a few simple movements have already made him feel strenuous, and it seems that he can't feel the vitality that seemed to be inexhaustible in his body in the past.

Now, in this body, there is only weakness.

"No, let's not talk about this now, you are here, listen to me, remember my words, and then do whatever you want, understand?"

Emperor Xue Ye had a serious face, emphasizing that he was not joking.

Xue Luochuan pursed his lips, finally nodded slowly, stopped his movements and said nothing.

Xue Ye's body relaxed slightly, and her eyes looked towards the void ahead, with the color of memories.

Not long after, he was awakened by the pain in his body, and his brows frowned.

"There is no need to talk about the previous things. They have all failed anyway. Compared with it, the biggest problem now is to maintain the existence of the empire."

"I told you before that once the empire collapses, the status of the royal family will be meaningless. No matter how noble the family is now, it will be so desolate by then."

Emperor Xue Ye's voice was flat, but with a little sigh, as if he didn't bring any pain over.

Perhaps because he was temporarily out of the situation during this period, he was able to observe everything that happened from the perspective of the outsider. Many things in the past are now extremely clear.

"Ok, I know."

Xue Luochuan responded with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Xue Ye didn't care about this, and continued: "Right now, I have excluded Xue Xing, maybe there will be some disasters in the future, but at least for now, there is nothing wrong with it."

"If you want to succeed to the throne, your biggest opponent is your elder brother Xue Qinghe. With the support of the Spirit Hall, I really can't think of any chance for you to win against him."

Xue Ye's voice was a little turbulent, but overall it was still calm.

It's like telling the doomed facts from the perspective of others, even if the battle for the throne is mentioned, there is still not much emotion revealed.

It seems that he doesn't care about the competition between brothers, just like he used to be.

Xue Luochuan raised his head and looked at his father with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.

Xue Ye also kept looking at him, silently waiting for his answer.

After a long silence, Xue Luochuan spoke up: "My brother is excellent in all aspects, and he has the support of the Wuhun Palace. If you want to succeed the throne, it is also a very good choice."

Xue Ye nodded, glanced at the expression on his face, and then continued: "That's true, but the biggest problem is that he is too close to the Spirit Hall."

"Before, he had been covering it up very well, deliberately keeping a distance from the Spirit Hall, and kept getting closer to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It wasn't until recently when I wanted to come that I realized that if we talk about alienation, he is still on the side of the Spirit Hall."

Xue Luochuan lowered his head and didn't say anything. He already knew these things, but he was the one who discovered these problems first.

Xue Ye hadn't paid too much attention to their brothers before, so it was normal to make mistakes, but he was different.

It's just that, after a certain guess in his heart, he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't say it.

Not only because of evidence, but also because of his own emotions, and because Xue Ye has already discovered the problem, it doesn't matter whether he makes this guess or not.

Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "I think you should know what will happen in the long run, so I want you to succeed me more than Xue Qinghe."

"Unfortunately, time is waiting for me, and now I don't have the ability to push this matter..."

Sighing slightly, as if expressing his regret for the past, Xue Luochuan listened quietly, without saying a word.

"So, what you should do and what you should not do in the future is up to you to judge. You have been smart since you were a child, and you can handle these things after you think about them."

As if to explain the funeral, Xue Ye still had the tone of a superior who ordered, appearing extremely indifferent, without too much personal affection.

But Xue Luochuan knew that it was because his father was not optimistic about the competition between him and his brother, so he specially reminded him to prevent himself from miscalculating the strength of both sides, and finally ending up in pieces.

Although he didn't show it, what was revealed in it was the only concern.

"Father, I remember, I know what to do with these things, you don't have to worry..."

Xue Luochuan said with a trembling voice, making Xue Ye nod slightly.

As if letting go of his last scruples, after he sighed softly, he finally told Xue Luochuan: "Go and invite Elder Li Xue from Wuhun Temple, and Prince Xue Qinghe to come to my place."

After finishing speaking, Xue Ye closed his eyes and stopped speaking, but these words had already consumed a little of his strength.

Xue Luochuan bowed down, then stood up, took a deep breath and walked outside.

Wuhun Temple.

Xue Qinghe was working opposite Elder Lianxue, and their desks were filled with news from Wuhun Palace.

The largest number of them was the far-reaching court meeting before.

These days, for the sake of safety, Xue Qinghe has always been in the Wuhun Temple, after all, the palace is not his home field.

"Elder, what is the specific situation?"

Seeing the pricking blood in deep thought, Xue Qinghe couldn't hold back his temper, and asked a question directly.

Usually, when facing this kind of thing, he needs to think and make his own judgment, but in Wuhun Temple, he obviously doesn't want to do these things.

Lianxue was interrupted from thinking, but he wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled kindly and explained the current situation for him.

"Prince Xue Xing, I'm afraid he won't be able to make a comeback. The nobles and ministers in the city will also be suppressed for a period of time. Just looking at Xue Ye's appearance, it seems that he wants to pass the throne to Xue Luochuan."

Having said this, Li Xue couldn't help frowning, rubbing his chin.

Xue Luochuan, he knew it, he was not a young man who was easily fooled, once Xue Ye really made up his mind, he would be quite troublesome.

However, that's all.

"Xue Luochuan? It seems that the old guy still has doubts about me, he is not so old and foolish."

"Unfortunately, it's already too late now, the Wuhun Palace has become a big trend, even if a problem is discovered, what can the royal family use to object?"

Xue Qinghe was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand indifferently, and said confidently.

There is also a reason for his self-confidence. A few days ago, the Clear Sky Sect had sent news that the most stubborn member of the Spirit Hall for many years had finally bowed his head and was willing to surrender.

Without the indispensable power of the Clear Sky School, whether the royal family still has the confidence to reject the Spirit Hall is still a question.

"It's true, the Haotian School will bow their heads, let alone Xue Ye, but Qingyang is really beyond my imagination, unexpectedly alone, the entire sect can't lift its head."

"This kind of strength and courage is really... It seems that we are really old."

Lixue shook his head and laughed, sighing that the world is weird.

A few years ago, Tang Hao was the only one in Haotianzong who made Wuhundian look pale. Now Wuhundian is also alone, but Haotianzong had to bow his head.

The rapid change made him feel unacceptable.

"That's right, Qingyang's doing this has saved me a lot of trouble. If Xue Ye really doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, Wuhundian will make him realize the reality."

Xue Qinghe's eyes seemed to flash with splendor, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he also said reservedly.

However, he suddenly thought of one thing, and couldn't help asking with doubts:
"Who sent the person who assassinated Xue Ye that day?"

After the words fell, Bloodletting also fell into deep thought, which made Xue Qinghe more and more puzzled.

This point is very suspicious, disrupting the long-standing plans of the Spirit Hall, and due to strict secrecy, until now Xue Qinghe has not obtained any news from the empire.

Or the empire doesn't know.

However, Elder Lixue also frowned at this question, Xue Qinghe understood that this is obviously not a simple question that is easy to answer.

"According to the incriminating evidence just released by the Heaven Dou Empire, on the surface, it seems that it is Prince Xue Xing and some nobles, but the real murderer is still unknown."

Xue Qinghe frowned, this answer was obviously unsatisfactory, with the huge power of the Wuhun Temple, how could such a major matter not be found out for a while?
It's just that now is not the time to pay attention to this point, how to hold the Heaven Dou Empire in his hands is the most important thing to care about.

The unknown secret revealed in this incident can only be explored after waiting.

At this time, there was a knocking sound outside the door, and after obtaining consent, Lianyue walked in with an apologetic face.

Then he said in a crisp voice: "Your Highness, Elder, Emperor Xue Ye sent an envoy to invite the two of you to the palace to discuss the succession of the throne."

Lianxue raised his head in surprise, and subconsciously looked at Lianyue, while Xue Qinghe didn't hold back, and said what was in his heart in surprise: "Could it be that Xue Ye can't hold it anymore?"

The next moment, in Lianyue's awkward and bewildered expression, the two came back to their senses.

Xue Qinghe's words like this are obviously not something that can be said casually. It's true that people don't know how to behave when a son talks about his father like this...

Fortunately, here is the Wuhun Temple.

Lian Xue smiled kindly, then signaled Lian Yue to back down, and then he and Xue Qinghe looked at each other, both of them looked a little more serious.

"It seems that Xue Ye didn't recover, but used some unknown method to forcibly suppress the injury on her body, and the price is probably not small."

"Before I wondered, how did the Heaven Dou Empire solve the problem that our Spirit Hall found difficult?"

"It looks like that now."

Bloodletting commented like this.

As a force standing side by side with the two great empires, Wuhundian has a more or less general understanding of Tiandou's situation, and now it only needs to know the key information to be able to deduce everything.

Xue Qinghe didn't pay attention to these at this time, he pondered for a while, thinking about the purpose of the other party sending someone to pass the message.

After a while, he thought of something and looked slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Majesty has recognized the reality and given up the unnecessary struggle."

"I think so. What I have learned from him these years are all political compromises. If I try my best, I guess he won't be able to do it."

Lixue thought about it for a while, and found that it was indeed the case, and his expression became a little more relaxed.

Since Xue Ye wanted to invite them to the palace to discuss, it meant that he had completely given up his plan to forcibly seal Xue Luochuan. This kind of compromise attitude was considered a good thing for both parties.

"In that case, let's go and have a look."

Xue Qinghe nodded, and there was even a sense of impatience in his expression.

After hiding and pretending for so many years, and finally ushering in the final result, even he couldn't maintain a peaceful heart.
