Lan Xueruo hurriedly walked through the many guards and went straight to the emperor's palace. The palace guards he met along the way saluted one after another.
"Princess Cang Yue, you are back. The emperor has been nagging you these days." At the entrance of the emperor's palace, a middle-aged eunuch bent down and hurriedly greeted her: "Do you want to give me a small report?"
"No need." Lan Xueruo shook her head and walked directly into the emperor's palace.
Cang Wanhe, the ninety-ninth emperor of the Blue Wind Empire, has conquered the world and is powerful all over the world. He is fifty-six years old this year and lives a pampered life in the palace. At this age, an emperor should not be old enough.
But Cang Wanhe was lying quietly on the bed, his face was groggy, and his eyes were even duller, like a 70 or 80-year-old old man.
"Your Majesty, Princess Cang Yue is back!" His personal eunuch walked in lightly and said with a happy face.
Hearing this, Cang Wanhe's lifeless face showed a trace of eagerness. He moved his upper body and struggled to stand up: "Quickly, let her in quickly."
As soon as his voice fell, Lan Xueruo walked in. Seeing Cang Wanhe's obviously much older face and the earnestness in his eyes, she felt a pang in her heart, walked forward quickly, and knelt on her knees in front of Cang Wanhe:
"Father, my daughter is unfilial. She comes to see you after such a long time."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Cang Wanhe nodded happily. At this time, there was no trace of the majesty of an emperor on his face, only the kindness of an ordinary father facing his beloved daughter: "Get up quickly. Stay away.
It has been more than three months since you last came back from Crescent City, and I have been restless during this time, for fear that something might happen to you, haha, just be fine."
"Something happened to my daughter, which delayed some time and made my father worried." Lan Xueruo stood up and looked at her father with a soreness in her nose: "Father, your condition... seems to be getting worse again.
How could it still be like this when Master Gu personally diagnosed and treated it?"
"Ahem..." Cang Wanhe was about to speak when he coughed violently. He took a few big breaths and said in a hoarse voice: "Perhaps I am really old. Although the disease is serious, Master Gu
, it won’t kill me immediately, but sooner or later, I will be angry to death by these traitors... cough, cough, cough, cough..."
After saying a few words, Cang Wanhe coughed painfully again. Lan Xueruo quickly stepped forward and patted his back.
At this time, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "Reporting to the emperor, the prince wants to see you."
Cang Wanhe's body paused, and Lan Xueruo's expression suddenly turned ugly. Then, a roar came from Cang Wanhe's mouth: "Let him go! I don't want to see him!"
"Oh, what made my father so angry? My father is ill now, but you must take care of yourself and avoid getting angry."
As a casual voice sounded, a young man in his thirties, dressed in gold-patterned clothes, walked in with his hands behind his back. When he saw Lan Xueruo, he squinted and smiled: "My dear imperial sister
, I just heard from my servant that you are back, so I came here in a hurry. We haven’t seen you for several months, and I miss you so much."
"You traitor, whoever let you in, get out of here immediately!" Cang Wanhe stretched out his trembling fingers and roared angrily.
"Father, please don't get angry, or you may hurt yourself. I just care about my father's illness, so I came here to visit you. If my father doesn't like it, I will leave immediately." Prince Canglin said with a smile, with a completely casual expression.
There was no fear at all when facing an angry emperor, and there was no respect or fear at all.
"Visiting?" Cang Wanhe sneered: "Want to see if I died suddenly in bed? I tell you, as long as I am still breathing, you can't even think about getting this throne! Let alone me passing the throne! Give it to me immediately.
I’m leaving!”
"Father, why are you so stubborn?" Prince Cang Lin curled his lips: "What kind of existence is the Xiao Sect? Now I have the full support of the Xiao Sect. As long as I am allowed to ascend the throne, the Xiao Sect will do it for me.
With my help, our Blue Wind royal family will only become more prosperous and dominate the world..."
"Shut up...cough, cough, cough, cough..." Cang Wanhe's face turned red with anger, and his chest heaved violently: "The Xiao Sect has been coveting the power of my Cangfeng royal family for a long time, but you traitors dare to lead the wolf into the house... If we let
If you become the emperor, the millennium-old foundation of the Blue Wind royal family will remain in name only and become someone else's puppet! I pride myself on being a hero and a warrior, but I have raised you bunch of traitors! Get out! Get out now!"
Lan Xueruo also clenched her fists in anger. She could no longer tolerate it and said angrily: "Didn't you hear what my father said! Get out of here! Neither my father nor I want to see you again!"
"Tsk tsk, why bother." Cang Lin shook his head and grinned: "Father, you have been on the throne for many years, it's time to give in, and even if you refuse, sooner or later you will only fall into my hands.
In my hands, what if my dear Imperial Brother Cang Shuo climbed up to the Burning Heaven Clan? In my eyes, he has never been worthy of being my opponent... My dear Imperial Sister, I heard that you have been away from Cangfeng Xuanfu for the past two years.
Instead of staying here, you are running around outside. Could it be that you are in a hurry to find a consort? Your brother, the emperor, has many young talents here. Do you want to introduce him to the emperor's sister? "
"Get out!" Lan Xueruo gritted her teeth, feeling extremely angry inside.
"Hahahaha! I'm taking my leave." Cang Lin laughed wildly, put his hands behind his back, and walked out unhurriedly.
"These traitors... traitors!!" Cang Wanhe's face turned red with anger and his whole body was shaking.
"Father, they have gone crazy. It's not worth getting angry with them. Your health is important." Lan Xueruo patted her father's back and tried hard to calm down the anger in her heart.
After being silent for a long time, Cang Wanhe finally calmed down. He smiled sadly and said: "I have always thought that I have cultivated seven sons of tigers and leopards. Unexpectedly, my seven sons...are all from a group of people."
Jackal. Fortunately, the sky gave me some mercy and allowed me to have you as my daughter. Unfortunately, you are a daughter. Otherwise, I could directly pass the throne to you... But if I really do this, it will also
It will make you miserable... Cang Lin and Cang Shuo, the two villains, one colludes with Xiao Sect and the other colludes with Fentian Clan, haha... No matter which one of them succeeds in the end, our Cangfeng royal family will become the puppets of others...
The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes."
"Father, don't worry too much, I will definitely do my best to stop them." Lan Xueruo bit her lip, her eyes covered with a light mist.
Cang Wanhe smiled and shook his head: "These seven traitors are divided into two camps. They basically control all the power in the court. They also have the secret help of Xiao Sect and Fentian Clan. What can you do to stop them?
They? What I hope most is that if that day comes, you will leave this imperial city and hide as far away as possible. I am afraid that these traitors will regard you as a pawn for their own interests... Then I will really die with my eyes open."
"No, father, with Master Gu here, your illness will definitely be cured and you will live a long life." Lan Xueruo held back tears and shook her head vigorously.
"Haha," Cang Wanhe smiled sadly. He knew best what his physical condition was like. He had even been wondering whether this inexplicable serious illness was caused by Cang Lin or Cang Shuo's conspiracy.
? He closed his eyes and said in despair: "I have been in power for nineteen years, but in the end I realized that this emperor was a complete failure. Regardless of how I taught these rebellious sons, my first wish when I ascended the throne was to make me immortal.
The Feng Royal Family washed away their humiliation in the 'Blue Wind Ranking Tournament', but after nineteen years, all I got was humiliation that never stopped... No one in my majestic Blue Wind Empire's royal family could compare to me.
If you advance to the top 100, you will become the laughing stock of the world again and again, and you will never be able to raise your head in front of those sects. How sad this is!"
Lan Xueruo's eyes flashed, Yun Che's figure appeared in her mind, and a warm feeling also grew in her heart, which made her feel much calmer inside. She said softly: "Father, this wish of yours will definitely come true.
Realized. In the past two years, my daughter has traveled to various major Xuanfu, searching for such a person with the Emperor's Heart Secret. Her efforts have not been in vain. Just a month and a half ago, her daughter found this person and brought him to Cangfeng Xuanfu.
, my daughter will try her best to let him represent our royal family in the next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament...My daughter believes that he will definitely enter the top 100, fulfill her father's wish, and wash away the shame of our royal family."
"Are you coming to the next session...I'm afraid I can't wait until that time, cough, cough, cough, cough..." Cang Wanhe coughed violently again, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Lan Xueruo knew that her father's body was not suitable for talking too much. She helped her father cover the quilt and said softly: "Father, you have a good rest and you must take good care of your body. My daughter still has some things to do.
, I will come visit my father tomorrow...Uncle Dongfang, please protect my father."
After Lan Xueruo's voice fell, an old and deep voice came from above the palace: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never allow anyone to harm a hair of the Emperor."
Lan Xueruo nodded gratefully and left the emperor's palace.
No one knows how much pressure she, the only princess and the youngest child of Emperor Cangfeng, carries on her thin shoulders, and how much hesitation and heaviness is buried in her heart...

The central square of Blue Wind Profound Palace is extremely huge. Since this is the last day to recruit disciples this year, it is filled with dense crowds. Most of them are young practitioners undergoing examinations, and the other half are disciples of the Profound Palace who come to watch the fun.
Although it was already the last day of the assessment, the number of young profound practitioners who took the assessment was still quite large. The assessment was divided into three hundred groups. With Qin Wuyou's intervention, Yun Che was placed in the ninety-ninth group midway.
The assessment is divided into two parts, namely the mysterious strength test and the combat strength test. They may sound the same, but there are essential differences in the form of the assessment.
