Chapter 154 The truth
"Princess Cangyue... She turned out to be...Princess Cangyue..." Yun Che murmured a little lost. ===== As a citizen of the Cangfeng Empire, Yun Che certainly would not know the name of Princess Cangyue. Today's Cangfeng Emperor Cangwanhe has seven sons and one daughter. The prince is Canglin, the "Canglong Prince" Canglin, and the only daughter is Cangyue. When he was young, the emperor and princess were all legendary existences. Although he and Xiao Lingxi often fantasize about what the emperor and princess would look like, they never thought that there would be a day of contact.
As a boy, he always has a special fantasy about "princess", because the title of "princess" symbolizes nobility, elegance, beauty, and is the most perfect and noble woman in the world. Yun Che never expected that Lan Xueruo was the Princess Cangyue whom he yearned for and fantasized countless times when he was a child, like many men.
He was sure that Lan Xueruo's identity must be extremely noble, but he never thought about her as the "princess". Because the princess was born in the royal family and was the only daughter of the emperor, she must have a strong spoiledness and domineeringness, but these were not found in Lan Xueruo, and only tenderness and kindness. She was so kind to anyone, never arrogant, and never discriminated against or underestimated anyone. When she saw that others were in trouble, she would want to help at the first time... These temperaments were completely different from the image of Princess Cangyue in his heart. They were even more peaceful and close to ordinary women in the official family.
She is Princess Cangyue... and herself is just a wanderer from the small Liuyun City, without background, power, and relatives. Why did she treat herself so much at the beginning?
"Since she is Princess Cangyue, why was she in Crescent City then?" Yun Che said in a daze.
Qin Wuyou did not answer him positively and asked back: "Yun Che, do you know the current status of the Cangfeng Royal Family?"
Yun Che thought about it and nodded slightly: "I know a little bit, Senior Brother Sikong has said it briefly before. It seems that the emperor is seriously ill. Prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo are secretly preparing to compete for the next emperor, and they have hooked up with Xiao Zong and Fentian Sect respectively."
Speaking of this, Yun Che felt a little confused. The emperor was seriously ill... No wonder there was always such deep sadness hidden in her eyes. So that's it.
"Nothing wrong." Qin Wuyou nodded and then explained in detail.
"It was probably three years ago that the emperor suddenly became ill and couldn't get up. The imperial physician in the palace was helpless. Later, he invited Gu Qiuhong, the recognized number one genius doctor in the Cangfeng Empire, to treat the emperor. The conclusion was that the emperor had overworked over the years and had already had secret diseases all over his body. That time, he was infected with wind and cold, causing all the secret diseases to explode, and the lifeline became extremely weak, and his lifeline was damaged and there was no cure. He could only use great replenishment to nourish day and night, and there was no other way."
"Many years of secret disease? Is it hurting my lifeline?" Yun Che's brow suddenly locked. Is there such a disease?
"Later, dozens of famous doctors from all over the world were invited, and the conclusion was that the emperor was not sick at all, but his body was inexplicably weak. These conclusions pointed directly to what the genius doctor Gu Qiuhong said. Gu Qiuhong also said that lifeline damage is not cured, and if he is well recuperated, the emperor can live for up to five years. As the number one miracle doctor in the Cangfeng Empire, Gu Qiuhong has never said anything in his medical field. Now three years have passed, that is, the remaining life span of the emperor is only two years at most. Last month, my brother came to the palace to meet the emperor. When he came back, he said that the emperor's complexion was extremely poor and his breath was weak. Not to mention two years, it is hard to say whether he could last for a year."
Yun Che: "..."
"Since the emperor's lifeline was damaged and he was bedridden, smoke and clouds rose in the royal family. The prince Canglin began to indirectly ask the emperor to pass the throne as soon as possible. The third prince Cangshuo has coveted the throne for a long time. The two initially had various secret struggles, but as the struggle escalated, it began to turn into an open struggle known to everyone in Cangfeng Imperial City. The prince had the support of the second and seventh princes, and the third prince had the support of the fourth, fifth and sixth princes. The two used various means to win over the power of the court, and even gradually eroded the emperor's core forces. Both sides had always been evenly matched, and no one could completely suppress anyone."
"Originally, this kind of dispute over the throne was normal in the royal family. Almost every new emperor would have such a prelude before he succeeded. The emperor always let it go, but no one expected that the prince Canglin actually borrowed the power of Xiao Zong in order to suppress the power of the third prince Cangshuo. In order to compete with him, the third prince Cangshuo also borrowed the power of the Fentian Sect."
"Oh." Qin Wuyou sighed long and said, "For a long time, Xiao Zong and Fen Tianmen have hidden ambitions and coveted the power that can control the world. The royal family has been dealing with it carefully over the years. In addition, the royal family has had good friends with Tianjian Villa. With the constraints of Tianjian Villa, Xiao Zong and Fen Tianmen dare not really seize the power of the royal family. But their voluntary robbery and the royal family actively borrowed their power, which are two completely different concepts. The latter, they can penetrate their own forces into the royal family through Canglin or Cangshuo. At that time, although the royal family still has the surname Cang, their sovereignty is controlled by Xiao Zong or Fen Tianmen. Even if it is Tianjian Villa, they cannot say anything."
"If you say so, it is more likely that Xiao Zong and Fentian Sect will take the initiative to lure Cang Lin and Cang Shuo." Yun Che said calmly.
"That's right." Qin Wuyou nodded: "The emperor was furious after knowing all this, but it was too late, because at that time, both the prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo had already spread all over the imperial court. Even if he was their father, he could no longer force him to shake it, let alone Xiao Zong and the Fentian Gate secretly assisted on both sides. Even if the emperor had not had some deeply rooted core forces and the protection of Tianjian Villa, the prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo might have forced him to throne long ago."
Speaking of this, Qin Wuyou was full of anger. After calming down his mind, he showed a heartache expression on his face: "In recent years, Prince Canglin and Third Prince Cangshuo have become the protagonists of the royal family, and the emperor has been lying in the bedroom for many years and has been almost forgotten. Among the emperor's seven sons and one daughter, in the end, the only daughter who is truly devoted to him and accompanying him is the only daughter, Princess Cangyue. Alas... She has really suffered in the past three years. Fortunately, she is just a girl, without any power or threats, otherwise, she might have been secretly persecuted by the prince and the third prince, alas."
"She wants to stop the prince and the third prince from bringing the wolf into the house?" Yun Che frowned.
"She tried, but gave up because she could not stop it." Qin Wuyou shook his head sadly: "In this battle, our Cangfeng Xuan Mansion was in a neutral place, only loyal to the emperor, and at the same time, he became Princess Cangyue's only backing. However, the disciples' wishes are beyond our control. Most of the hundred disciples in the inner palace have been pulled over by the crown prince Canglin and the third prince Cangshuo, including Feng Bufan, the second place in the inner palace's Tianxuan List and Fang Feilong, the third place."
"Since knowing that she has low power, she cannot stop the ambition of Prince Cangyue, the princess Cangyue, who has been with the emperor. Two years ago, in order to save the emperor's regret, she joined Cangfeng Xuan Mansion as the "Lan Xueruo". She left a month later, and then left the imperial city and traveled to Xuan Mansions of various branches in China to find someone who can help her father achieve her wish."
Speaking of this, Qin Wuyou looked at Yun Che with a steady look.
"I am the one she found?" Yun Che said, with no expression on her face: "What is her father's wish? Why did she choose me? Why did she think I can help her father realize this wish?"
"Cangfeng ranked battle." Qin Wuyou said five words lightly.
These five words made Yun Che's heart shocked and he blurted out: "Is it..."
"Alas~~" Qin Wuyou sighed again, and mentioned the "Cangfeng Ranking Battle", and his face became very gloomy. He stood up, walked to the bamboo window with his hands behind his back, and slowly said: "When it comes to Cangfeng Xuan Mansion, everyone knows that it is established by my Cangfeng Royal Family. The largest Xuan Mansion in the entire Cangfeng Empire is the dream place for countless young Xuanmen to cultivate Xuan. However, there are many sects in the Cangfeng Empire and countless strong people. In the eyes of those sects, my Cangfeng Xuan Mansion is just a joke."
"The Cangfeng ranking war was originally held every ten years, but later it was reduced to five years, and a hundred years ago, and then to three years. From the first Cangfeng ranking war to the end, it was already exactly ninety-nine. As the core of the country's regime, each session will naturally be invited. However, in the past, the Cangfeng Royal Family has never been able to enter the top 100, and has never been! What a joke and humiliation. When the emperor ascended the throne, his greatest wish is
During his reign, he saw the Cangfeng royal family squeeze into the top 100 of Cangfeng ranking battles... but for nearly twenty years ascended the throne, and after six Cangfeng ranking battles, this wish was never realized. Now that life expectancy is over, this has become a lifelong regret for him. In order to help him realize this wish before the emperor passed away, Princess Cangyue left the royal family and looked for a genius Xuanzhe who could represent the royal family and win the top 100. After two years, she chose you."
"……I see."
Why did Lan Xueruo treat him so well, and even risked great danger to save him, he finally solved this doubt. After learning the truth, he could not tell what it felt like.
"The Cangfeng Royal Family has a special mysterious skill called the "Emperor Heart Art". Only those who have the blood of the royal family and have a pure heart and nature can practice it. Among the seventh prince and one princess, Princess Cangyue is the only one who has achieved the "Emperor Heart Art". With the "Emperor Heart Art", you can see a person's fate and fortune to a certain extent. Princess Cangyue should have seen extraordinary fate and fortune in you through the "Emperor Heart Art". Coupled with your amazing performance in the New Moon Xuan Mansion, you chose you without hesitation."
Yun Che: "..."
"Now, do you understand what I mean by 'enlightenment'?" Qin Wuyou turned around and said meaningfully.
"I basically understand. At least, I want to represent the royal family in the Cangfeng ranking battle for her." Yun Che's expression was plain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"No, this alone is not aware of it. After all, participating in the Cangfeng ranking battle only has success or failure, but not life or death." Qin Wuyou continued: "Two years ago, Princess Cangyue left the imperial city and found a suitable person. And the more important reason is... in order to escape a terrible person."
"Who?" Yun Che looked up slightly.
"The fourth place in the last Cangfeng ranking battle - the eldest son of the Fentian Sect leader Fen Duanhun, and the young master of the Fentian Sect - Fen Juecheng!"
