"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
A loud voice sounded along with the chime of the bell. When everyone saw the figure walking out of the inner hall, the discussion stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a touch of heat.
Xuan Haoran, the current leader of the Xuanyue Empire, is very old. Over the years, Prince Xuan Jiuding has been basically handling the affairs of the empire, and he has managed the empire in an orderly manner, almost as good as Nai's father.
It's just that all the people present here are prominent figures in the Xuanyue Empire. They are either heads of large families or heads of major sects. They all have speculations about some rumors.
For example, people like Yu Shu, the leader of the Yuhu Sect, had a great change in Xuan Jiuding's behavior because of what happened in Yuhu Cave.
That day in Tianyue Pavilion, although Xuan Jiuding denied the affairs within the Yuhu Sect, who was Yushu? How could a mere third prince of the empire, Xuan Zhi, allow the commander of the Xuantie Army to lurk in the Yuhu Sect for more than ten years?
Behind this, there must be Xuan Jiuding's instructions.
However, compared to the Yuhu Sect, which has immediate interests, the heads of other sects and families know that Xuan Jiuding is not as gentle as it seems on the surface, but they also know that if they want to govern a country, they must rely solely on
Compassion is absolutely impossible to achieve.
Even Xuan Haoran, who is known as the wise king of the generation, dare not say that he has never done anything to harm others and benefit himself in his life. It's just that those things have been covered up by the superficial glory.
As long as you still want to gain a foothold in the Xuan Yue Empire, you cannot be disrespectful to the future king. Even the heads of the three major sects will not dare to break up with Xuan Jiuding.
Therefore, at this moment, Yushu, even if he wanted to question Xuan Jiuding, he could only hold back first, not to mention that he did not have complete evidence, and Xuanzhi and Yan Chun were not here, so it could be said that there was no evidence.
"Haha, welcome everyone to my Xuanyue royal family. Here, Father Jiuding would like to say hello to you!"
Xuan Jiuding had a high-spirited look on his face, and his eyes swept over the many guests in the Lan Yue Palace, and finally rested on Yun Xiao for a moment. Although it was just a glance, it made Li Yue of Qingshan Sect extremely uncomfortable.
It’s really Li Yue who doesn’t like Yun Xiao no matter how he looks at it. You boy is obviously only at the late stage of Chongmai Realm, why can you let His Highness the Crown Prince take another look?
Naturally, Yun Xiao wouldn't care about these nonsensical thoughts. Compared to Li Yue, a guy who spoke only in words, what he cared more about was the imperial prince Xuan Jiuding.
This person is really difficult to deal with, not only because of the powerful background of the Xuan Jiuding royal family, but also because of his own cultivation and mind. In Yun Xiao's view, he is actually his number one enemy in the Xuan Yue Empire.
In front of this crowd, Xuan Jiuding couldn't do anything to Yun Xiao, so after scanning Yun Xiao, he loudly said again: "Everyone, I'm a little sorry, my father is temporarily busy, and it may take a while before he comes.
Sorry for the long wait, everyone."
"Haha, Your Majesty is busy in advance. We are just here to ask for a birthday drink. What's the big deal if we wait a little longer?"
This time, it was Qingshan Sect Master Li Feng who made the interface. After hearing his words, Prince Xuan Jiuding turned his head, smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with the Qingshan Sect Master's understanding.
However, except for the heads of sects like Qingshan Sect who deliberately curry favor with the royal family, others such as Yushu Jiayi could not help but frown.
Today is the birthday of the King Xuan Haoran. This is not an imperial political matter. There is no need to let Xuan Jiuding handle such things. Could it be that something happened to the King?
Thinking of this, Yushu and the others all turned their attention to His Highness the Crown Prince, but at this glance, they only saw Xuan Jiuding smiling happily and constantly greeting the guests, without any sadness at all.
Under such circumstances, Yushu Jiayi and the others could not say anything. They could only wait patiently. Who would have thought that after two hours, the figure of the leader of Xuanyue Kingdom still did not show up, which was a bit strange.
.
Just when everyone was getting a little restless, a figure dressed as a guard suddenly walked in from the entrance of Lan Yue Palace. He walked straight to Xuan Jiuding, bowed, and said softly, "Before the Crown Prince,
After nodding, he turned around.
"Excuse me, who is Master Yunxiao?"
The guard asked quite politely, but the meaning behind his words made everyone a little puzzled. Lan Yue Palace, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on it.
A young man in rough clothes appeared.
Who is Yun Xiao? This is no longer unfamiliar to everyone in the palace, but what they didn't expect was that after waiting for the leader of Xuanyue Kingdom for two hours, a guard who suddenly appeared actually named him
The meaning behind Di's search for Yunxiao is somewhat elusive.
"I'm Yun Xiao, what's the matter?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Yun Xiao was filled with doubts. He took a step forward and spoke out to reveal his identity.
"Master Yunxiao, His Highness the Second Highness invites you!"
The guard's face remained respectful, and he quickly walked up to Yun Xiao and bowed. The words he spoke made everyone sigh in relief, and they had another guess.
The "Second Highness" mentioned by the guard must be the second prince of the royal family, Xuan Jing. Compared to everyone's guesses, Yun Xiao suddenly understood.
After all, Yun Xiao and Xuan Jing had a close relationship in Maizang, which could even be said to be a life-long friendship, and later when they were in Luo City, he even had his life saved by Xuan Jing, and even more so.
He must be escorted back to the Yuhu Sect, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Yun Xiao did not doubt what the guard said. It seemed that His Highness the Second Prince knew that he had come to the royal family, so he sent someone to invite him and wanted to catch up with him.
"Haha, brother Yunxiao, since it is my second brother who invites you, then you should go and meet him. I heard that you two have a good friendship!"
Just when everyone was confused, Prince Xuan Jiuding smiled lightly and spoke, but no one saw the flash of light in the depths of his eyes. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple.
"Teacher, I'm going then!"
Yun Xiao had this intention, so he turned his head and bowed to Yushu. After saying this, he followed the guard and left the bustling Moon Palace.
Yushu had also heard about the friendship between Yun Xiao and Xuan Jing, so he didn't say much. Yun Xiao could establish a good relationship with the second prince of the empire, which could also ease the deadlock between the Yuhu Sect and the royal family.
Seeing Yun Xiao disappearing at the entrance of Lan Yue Palace, the sparkle in the eyes of the Imperial Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding could not help but become a little more intense. There was also a sneer mixed in, but it was too obscure and no one saw it.
clang!
However, at this moment, a bell chant sounded again in the Moon Palace. When everyone turned around, an extremely majestic figure walked out of the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has arrived!"
A loud voice was heard, and now no one had any doubts, because that old but majestic golden-robed figure was none other than Xuan Haoran, the leader of the Xuanyue Empire today.
For some reason, when the king of the country Xuan Haoran appeared, all the unhappiness in everyone's hearts disappeared in an instant, and what came with it was an unusual awe.
Xuan Haoran, who has been in charge of the Xuanyue Empire for nearly two hundred years, brought a sluggish empire back from decadence and achieved the resurgence of the empire.
Even though Xuan Haoran has stopped taking care of things in these years, it is impossible for any cultivator of the Xuan Yue Empire to forget those amazing deeds during his heyday. This is the deterrence of the Lord of Zhongxing.
Even Yushu, the leader of the Yuhu Sect, was unhappy because the treasure of the sect was taken away by the royal family, but when he saw the king, he could only put away his thoughts first. On such a birthday,
It would be disrespectful to say these things.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. There is something urgent that I need to deal with. I will punish myself with three drinks later!"
The king of the country, Xuan Haoran, said apologetic words, but at this time, he seemed to be less domineering than before, but more worried, as if there were some difficult things that had not been resolved.
Since His Majesty the King has said so, it is naturally impossible for many guests to hold on to him, but some strong people who are good at observing faces, such as Yushu Jiayi and others, guessed something from Xuan Haoran's expression.
Clues.
As Xuan Haoran's deadline is approaching, a birthday celebration will be held every year. His Majesty the King will never be late for birthdays.
Today, Xuan Haoran was not only two hours late, but even had a hint of worry on his face. What could have happened that could have caused His Majesty, the king of the Xuan Yue Empire, to have such an expression?
Although it is said that Xuan Jiuding has been managing the empire's political affairs in these years, no one would believe that Xuan Haoran would lose power. As long as he says a word, there is probably nothing that cannot be done in the Xuan Yue Empire.
It's just that no one knows that there are some things that cannot be accomplished with great power. For example, Xuan Haoran's deadline of two hundred years, as long as he does not break through to the third level of the earth, he will definitely not be able to survive that moment.
Another example is the illness of the second prince Xuan Jing. Many spiritual-level senior pulse refiners from the Imperial City of Worshiping Moon City were invited, but they were all helpless against Xuan Jing's illness. Is this something that power can reverse?
Previously, Xuan Haoran hurried to the side hall because Concubine Su sent someone to report that Xuan Jing's condition had worsened, and was delayed for two hours.
Perhaps in Xuan Haoran's heart, the life of his second son is much more important than this birthday, which happens every year. I am afraid that this year's birthday will be spent in sorrow.
