"...Yes, Rong Dao, you are very good. If I can successfully retrieve the Holy Fruit during this trip, I will mention you to His Majesty," the Empress said.
"I don't care about credit, I just want to contribute to the Shenhai Dynasty!" Fang Yu said, "Excuse me, the empress, when can I set off?"
"I will come find you again tomorrow, and then I will open the door to that ancient city for you." The Empress said, "Just wait for me here."
"Okay!" Fang Yu replied.
The emperor and empress took a deep look at Fang Yu, and then the shadow began to flicker and gradually dissipate.
When the shadow of the empress completely dissipated, the pressure belonging to her also disappeared.
"It seems that it was hidden from the eyes of the empress... Lin Batian's Xuanran Qi is really useful." Fang Yu stood up and thought to himself.
At this time, his eyes were a little stern.
The feeling this emperor and empress gave him was that it was deeply hidden.
There is nothing unusual about his eyes, breath, or tone of voice, and he cannot explore more.
As for the terrifying phantom behind the emperor and empress that Cang Yu said, he couldn't even touch it.
Because, the emperor and empress only descended into a virtual body, not the real body.
However, Fang Yu's current focus is not on the empress.
Holy fruit, ancient city...
These two pieces of information were what he cared about most.
"Two holy fruits appeared at once, which means...only the last holy fruit is left." Fang Yu squinted and thought, "The question is...where is the ancient city?"
Judging from the description of the emperor and empress, this ancient city should be similar to ancient ruins.
But the Holy Fruit has always appeared directly in various places in the hot summer. Why does it appear in such a place this time?
Also, the emperor and empress said that others should go to the sacred fruit in the southwest mangrove forest.
This candidate is most likely Cangyu.
After all, the emperor and the empress currently want to ensure that Cangyu remains firmly in the position of crown prince.
"I see... You want me to go to a dangerous place because you want me to die there? So that you can eliminate a major competitor for Cangyu?" Fang Yu's eyes flashed as he suddenly realized.
…
In the deep sea, within the main territory of the Divine Sea Dynasty.
In a large hall, the emperor and empress were sitting on a high throne, their eyes closed and motionless.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
"Empress, His Highness Cangyu, I have informed him of the specific matters..." An old voice sounded.
"Okay." The emperor replied.
"Empress, when you asked Rong Dao to go to that ancient city, did you want to use the ancient creatures there to... obliterate them?" the old voice asked.
"Not only that, you must also follow him into it." A coldness flashed in the empress's eyes, and she said, "There must not be any competitors for the position of crown prince. What I want is to be foolproof, so... you follow Rong Dao into it.
, if he is lucky and is not killed by the creatures in the ancient city, then...you can help me erase him."
"In short, Rongdao must die in that ancient city."
"As for the holy fruit, you bring it out."
"...Empress, if you do this, Your Majesty..." the old voice asked hesitantly.
"The reason why I let Rong Dao enter that ancient city is to avoid being discovered by His Majesty." The Empress said, "As long as you enter that place, Your Majesty will not notice it."
"Understood." The old voice replied.
…
"The queen asked me to go to the mangroves in the southwest to get the holy fruit!" Cang Yu's tone was a little excited, and she said to Fang Yu through the soul seal.
"Your mother also came to see me." Fang Yu said lightly.
"What!?" Cangyu's reaction became even greater, "You, how can you see her!? She didn't notice..."
"Since I can still talk to you like this, it means she didn't notice my disguise." Fang Yu said calmly.
"She, what is she looking for you for?" Cang Yu asked.
"To put it simply, she came to see me for you." Fang Yu said.
"What do you mean?" Cang Yu asked.
"Because I killed nine princes in a row, your mother thought that I was a threat to the throne, so she wanted to send me to a dangerous place and let me die there." Fang Yu said, "I am now
His identity is Prince Rongdao, you should be able to understand, right?"
"Understood..." Cang Yu replied, "Then... do you want to go in?"
"Of course." Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as there is a holy fruit inside, I will go in regardless of whether your mother has mentioned it or not."
"Then what should I do with the holy fruit I got in the southwest mangrove forest?" Cangyu asked again.
"The Holy Fruit will be useless if you don't gather six of it, so... just give yours back to your mother directly." Fang Yu said, "As for the one I got in the ancient city... I'll talk about it then."
"I was thinking, what if I go to the mangrove forest and... can't get the holy fruit? There are many other princes who will go..." Cangyu said with concern.
"...Your mother and queen have done this, and you are still worried about such a trivial matter?" Fang Yu said a little speechlessly.
"How can I not be afraid!? I don't have the strength like you! If I die, I will really die!" Cang Yu was very excited.
"Don't worry, I think your mother is determined to get you the crown prince. Even if you want to commit suicide, she won't let you get your wish." Fang Yu said.
Hearing what Fang Yu said, Cang Yu recalled what the emperor and empress had said to her before.
Indeed... given how much the emperor and empress valued the position of prince, he would not be able to commit suicide even if he wanted to.
"You said...why does my mother want me to compete for the position of crown prince? When my father was still at his peak, even if I became the crown prince, I would have to wait for an unknown amount of time before I could sit on the throne of God..." Cangyu said again
said.
"Don't you have the answer to this question yourself?" Fang Yu asked.
Cangyu's heart skipped a beat.
He had indeed thought about that.
But as soon as this thought appeared, he felt suffocated and did not dare to think deeply!
"What your mother wants to do often happens in our human dynasty, so what's the fuss about?" Fang Yu said, "I think your Shenhai Dynasty was established by imitating our human dynasty, right?"
"I, I don't think the queen would do this. She..." Cang Yu's heart was beating fast and her brain was in chaos.
If the Empress really wants to replace the Great Emperor, then he is an extremely crucial chess piece.
The problem is that if the emperor fails, he will be invincible. But after the emperor succeeds, he will lose his role as a chess piece and will probably be erased!
Both front and back are dead ends!
Realizing this made him sweat profusely and panicked.
After all, what he cares about most is his life.
"Don't worry, since you have cooperated with me deeply now, I will naturally save your life." Fang Yu said lightly, "But the premise is... you must obey all my orders. If you don't obey... then you
Just fend for yourself."
"I, I understand..." Cang Yu has nothing else on her mind at this time. She can only hold on to the last life-saving straw!
