Hearing Emperor Xuanlian say these words, Chen Qingle immediately understood.
"Father, you know everything."
Emperor Xuanlian said calmly: "The throne will be passed to one of you soon, and I don't want to interfere too much, but as long as I am in this position, I cannot take it lightly."
Emperor Xuanlian then said: "For a woman, you caused a storm in the whole city. You make me doubt whether you have the overall view of inheriting the orthodoxy."
Chen Qingle couldn't help but say: "But...she...she is Chanbi...if it were anyone else, Erchen would never be like this..."
"I know that she was raised by your mother-in-law and has been growing up with you. But, so what?"
"If you want to have supreme power, you must have the consciousness to make huge sacrifices."
"For the support of the Zilian clan, you went against your heart and married Zihui as the princess. This was a wise decision. But what happened after that seemed stupid. You ignored Zihui and only favored a maid. You are not afraid of the Zilian clan.
Have you lost trust?"
Emperor Xuanlian lifted Chen Qingle to the high dragon chair. Emperor Xuanlian pointed at the dragon chair and asked, "Do you think you can command the world and submit to all people by sitting on this dragon chair?"
"The dragon chair, the throne, and the unification are just a false concept. Anyone can sit on my dragon chair. This dragon chair means nothing."
"As an emperor, the power in your hands comes from those who support you. If no one listens to or responds to an emperor's orders, is he still an emperor?"
"I have sat on this dragon throne for nearly ten thousand years. You are used to seeing me killing people and governing others, but this is not a way to stabilize power. The core of power comes from interests. If you can bring huge benefits to those who support you, they will
I will continue to support you, and only with the support of the majority of people can you have power."
"But now that you are endangering the interests of the Zilian clan because of a maidservant, you will gradually lose their trust in you."
Chen Qingle lowered his head and whispered: "I know I was wrong."
"Is Chanbi the only one who has learned the necromancy spell?"
Chen Qingle knew that there was another person, and that was Shu Han.
"There is only Chanbi, and I did not dare to learn because I was concerned about the Miao tribe."
"Is there really only one person?"
Emperor Xuanlian's tone gradually became cold and stern.
Chen Qingle's heart tightened.
"At that time, I didn't have as much strength as I do now. Even if I wanted others to practice, I couldn't find anyone to come."
"Where is your guard named Wang Xiaohao?"
Chen Qingle immediately replied: "This person is a guard recruited by Chan Bi on the border battlefield. He is here to make up for his son. He is not qualified to let Chan Bi teach the necromancy spells. Now it is true that only Chan Bi can teach the necromancy spells.
.”
"In this case, I will give Chanbi to the Miao tribe as a guarantee to the Miao tribe to ensure that the necromantic curse will not be spread, and the matter will be settled."
When Chen Qingle heard that Chan Bi was to be handed over, she panicked.
"But...can't..."
"No buts!"
Emperor Xuanlian's tone suddenly ignited.
He looked at Chen Qingle who was shrinking with cold eyes.
"Have you forgotten what I just told you?"
"Then your maid by your side will only slow you down. I want you to learn to take into account the overall situation, but you have forgotten?"
Then Emperor Xuanlian gave an order with a cold face: "The trial of Xuanlian is coming soon, don't force me to imprison you in the Lotus Death Cell! You think you dare to disobey me now that you have the bloodline leading to the Xuanlian Heaven Transformation? You
Do you really think that I must give you this dragon chair?"
Hearing Emperor Xuanlian's anger, Chen Qingle trembled all over and quickly knelt down.
Seeing that Chen Qingle still didn't let go, Emperor Xuanlian's tone became gentle again.
"Actually, it's not as serious as you think. Chanbi was handed over to the Miao tribe not to be executed immediately, but to be married to Feng Mumu, the son of the second priest. She has supported you for so many years, and you have to find a good ending for her.
She will always be a slave in the Xuanlian Dynasty and will never be able to be in your palace. Her future in the Miao tribe is much better than with you."
"I say all this for your own good. Don't let me down too much!"
With both kindness and power, Chen Qingle finally relaxed.
He said weakly.
"My son, I will go back and inform Chanbi."
"besides!"
Emperor Xuanlian stopped Chen Qingle.
"I will reward you with the Royal Hunting Ground. You have been closed for long enough. In three days, a new batch of prisoners of war will be sent to the Royal Hunting Ground. At that time, I will take the royal relatives to the Royal Hunting Ground to hunt. I will clean it up and manage it when I return.
hunting grounds.”
"Don't let me down!"
The last two words were said very seriously.
Chen Qingle was confused and immediately knew that Emperor Xuanlian knew that he secretly left behind prisoners of war.
So, Chen Qingle left the palace after bowing.
Emperor Xuanlian looked at Chen Qingle leaving in the distance, shook his head and sighed: "You still have to practice."
…
Chen Qingle returned to the Dragon King's Mansion in despair. Chan Bi immediately came up to her and asked about Chen Qing Le's situation with concern. Zi Hui was observing from the side. She observed Chen Qing Le's guilty look when he looked at Chan Bi, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
A hint of a smile.
She knew that this little bitch Chanbi was done playing.
So Zi Hui wisely took her people away, leaving Chen Qing Le and Chan Bi to say goodbye.
Chen Qingle looked at Chan Bi's concerned look and said, "Chan Bi, come back to the house with me."
Chan Bi nodded obediently, walked beside Chen Qing Le, and entered the house with him. Once inside, Chan Bi acted like a good wife, undressing and changing Chen Qing Le's clothes, and serving tea and water.
Chen Qingle looked at Chanbi's busy appearance and felt sad, making him unable to help but shed tears.
Seeing Chen Qingle like this, Chan Bi immediately panicked. She hurriedly came to Chen Qingle's side and asked worriedly: "Young Master, what's wrong with you? What did the Holy One call you to do?"
Chen Qingle stroked Chan Bi's little face, forced a smile and said: "Chan Bi, do you still remember that we grew up together on my mother's side. I have been weak since I was a child. Every time I was bullied by others, I
I will not go to my mother and concubine, but I will go to you crying."
Chan Bi felt uneasy: "Master, why are you talking about this now?"
Chen Qingle ignored Chan Bi and continued: "You have had a bad temper with outsiders since you were a child, and you are much tougher than me. Every time I see you helping me, I feel very at ease. Later, when my mother-in-law passed away, it was you who helped me all the way.
Only with your help can I reach this point. In fact, in my eyes, you are a more important protector than my mother and concubine..."
When Chanbi heard this, her pretty face turned red.
"Son..."
"Every time I see you standing up to defend me, I always think, if only one day I have the ability to defend you, I will definitely hold you in the palm of my hand and will not allow anyone to bully you."
Chan Bi hurriedly said: "Master, you are already very good to Chan Bi."
However, when she said this, Chen Qingle burst into tears.
"Even if I am now the Dragon King and have the full support of the three major branches, but...but Chanbi, Chanbi, I still don't have the ability or courage to protect you..."
