Phoenix Returns - C75
In such a short period of time, getting rid of all the powers in Tian Chen, he would definitely feel that he had made some small achievements.
But who was Tian Chen? If it was so easy to destroy it, he would not be Tian Chen.
“Your Highness has been killing red eyes recently, why have you become so impetuous? If he loses his power now, he will definitely think of another way to turn the situation around. Why not wait for him to reveal his final trump card before taking action? ”
“Then what is his last trump card? If it’s something you and I can’t withstand, then what happens? ”
Master Chu lifted his charming lips. Of course, he had to be on guard against people like Tian Chen at the moment. Currently, he was too anxious, so who knew what kind of crazy actions he could take?
Protecting everyone in the Imperial City was the most important matter. It was a pity that this Seventh Princess of Da Cang was the greatest sacrifice to Da Cang and Xue Lan.
Master Chu smiled without saying a word. Finally, his son landed in the middle of Xue Wu Hen’s white piece. Xue Wu Hen saw that his chess board was completely destroyed.
“You’ve won. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t match up to the Grand Princess’s profound chess skills. Wu Hen admitted defeat.”
A blood Gu slowly crawled onto Master Chu’s arm, and his blood-red stomach suddenly burst open.
Seeing this, Master Chu immediately stood up and said, “He’s already begun. Go to the imperial concubine palace, quickly ~”
Xue Wuhen followed Master Chu over to the Tai Chen Palace. When they met the Grand Concubine, a maid was carrying a cup of soup into her mouth.
Seeing this, Master Chu immediately slapped the maid’s hand out, and white smoke slowly rose from the soup that had fallen to the ground.
“Is this medicine poisonous?” You lowly slave, you actually dared to poison the grand imperial concubine? ”
Xue Wuhen was about to draw his sword, but the two maids saw that the situation had been exposed, they immediately pulled out their daggers from their sleeves and stabbed towards Grand Concubine Yi.
Surprised, Chu Shiyu pulled away the grand concubine with one hand and sent the two maids flying with a single palm.
He saw Xue Wuhen charge forward with a sword in his hand, slaying two of the maids on the spot.
Only then did the grand imperial concubine regain her senses! This… What was going on? How did they get killed? ”
“Royal Grandmother, they were sent by the State Grandmaster from Heavenly Stardust. They wanted to poison you. That bowl of poison was poisonous, take a look ~”
The Grand Imperial Concubine lowered her head to look at the soup lying on the ground. White smoke rose from her mouth as a burning smell assaulted her nostrils.
She pulled on Chu Shiyu’s arm and took a deep breath!
“Fortunately, you came in time. However, I have lived enough. As long as you are safe, I will be at ease.”
The old imperial concubine wasn’t concerned with herself, but with the safety of her children.
Xue Wuhen was the crown prince, the hope of Xue Lan. The only way he could save Xue Wuhen was to preserve his Xue Lan bloodline.
She did not know Chu Shiyao’s true identity, but Xue Wuhen had recently pulled out many of the dirty Hall’s treacherous officials, so she had probably guessed a little.
Grand Concubine Yi pulled on Master Chu’s throne and comforted, “Although you are not the successor of the Nightmare Tactic, Xuelin also does not wish to implicate you. I am very grateful that you have helped Scar’er so much, but from now on, you will meet with pressure from the big warehouse.”
“Grand Concubine, don’t worry. If the Heavenly Master doesn’t fall, then the snow orchid will be fine today. The big warehouse is flourishing once again and the entire world will be facing it. The evil will never win!”
The grand imperial concubine nodded in consolation as she looked up at the sky.
In order to prevent Tian Chen from harming him again, Xue Wu Hen reinforced his defenses, once again flanking the palace guards and maids.
After confirming that there was no mistake, he left in relief.
Since he couldn’t poison the grand imperial concubine this time, he definitely wouldn’t act rashly from the imperial palace. Seeing that the Blessing Assembly was about to arrive, when it came to tampering, it was the best opportunity.
Three days later would be the Blessing Assembly, which was also the day of Xue Wuhen’s and Sikong Qianqi’s wedding. Sikong Qiqi was already dressed in her big red wedding dress, waiting for Xue Wuhen to come to escort her.
However, she was disappointed. Xue Wu Hen was not part of the group to escort the bride. Instead, it was a few of the more ordinary old wet nurses from the harem.
At the meeting, the bridegroom is to go with the bridegroom to the altar for a prayer ceremony, and then return to the palace to perform the kowtow ceremony.
She was the princess consort now, and she would be the mother of the world later on. Xue Lan had always followed the custom of following the blessings ceremony.
Although Xue Wuhen did not personally welcome him, Sikong Qiqi felt a little sad. The thought of marrying Xue Wuhen’s wife made her sad. No matter how bad the matter was, it was no longer that important.
The Imperial Advisor, Xue Feiyang, arrived at the altar early in the morning. The entire city was crowded around the altar, witnessing the blessings event that happened every three years.
First, the people paid their respects to the emperor. Then, the king carried the dragon scales and offered sacrifices to the heaven and earth on the altar in order to protect Fuze.
He said that the dragon scales had already been sent to the snowy orchids with the dowry, and that they would be used to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Chu Shiyu and Yu Wuyou mingled in the middle of the crowd and discovered that in the middle of these ordinary citizens lurked a large number of people with powerful martial arts skills.
All of these were within Chu Shiyu’s expectations. They had chosen to make their move on this day, and believed that Tian Chen would also make his move on this day.
However, how many commoners would be affected by the fight between these two clams?
In order to not let more citizens be implicated, Master Chu had ordered a large number of Gu worms to lurk on both sides of the altar, as long as these people dared to go up, they would immediately die.
Xue Wu Hen, dressed in fiery red, walked up to the altar side by side with Sikong Qiqi. First, they paid their respects to the emperor, then Sikong Qiqi took out the Dragonscale Treasure Box and gave it to Xue Feiyang.
Sikong Qianqi held the treasure box and said, “Royal father, the treasure of our country is here. Please begin to pray for the blessing of Xue Lan.”
“May Your Majesty begin to pray for blessings on my Xue Lan …” Everyone kneeled down and shouted loudly.
With the return of the dragon’s scale, Xue Feiyang was extremely shocked. However, he was also worried about whether the dragon’s scale inside the box was real.
The commoners were all watching. If they could not take out the true dragon’s scale, then wouldn’t they be despised by the world?
Xue Feiyang’s hands were trembling as he slowly received the treasure box. Opening it, he saw a huge purple dragon emerging from the box and swimming on the altar.
“Is it really the national treasure, Dragon Scale?”
Xue Feiyang was so excited that he almost fainted. The people around the altar were all cheering.
“The heavens protect Xuelan’s golden age, the national treasure protects the peace of tens of thousands of people, Xuelan will forever exist …”
“Xue Lan will forever exist …”
His original plan was to make sure that Sikong Xun wouldn’t take out the dragon’s scale, then during the blessing conference, he would use the reason of stealing the dragon’s scale as the reason to capture Sikong Qiqi.
However, now that Long Lin was telling the truth, what sort of scheme was that?
Zhu Shiyu whispered into Yu Wuyou’s ear, “Look at this dragon scale, is there something wrong with it?”
“The dragon’s scale is real. Merely, the spiritual energy in this dragon scale seems to be very weak. It seems that something is controlling the release of the spiritual energy from the dragon scale.”
Yu Wuyou observed the giant dragon on the altar. Its eyes were lifeless and it did not have the slightest bit of deterrence.
Chu Shiyu could also tell that the soaring dragon was real, but there was something wrong with this dragon scale. Otherwise, how could Sikong Xun give it up so easily?
“That’s not right, the dragon’s scale should not be like this. This huge dragon does not have any spiritual energy at all. That’s why Sikong Xun handed it over so generously. In a moment of chaos, the dragon’s scale will not be able to serve as a deterrent. ”
While he was kneeling and praying, someone had already pulled out a sword from his waist. There was a loud sound from the crowd!
“Kill!”
