Chapter 170 Reactions from all parties
The entire palace fell into chaos, and the Royal Guards also became busy immediately.
Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi took action in time and managed to calm down the storm. At the same time, in the name of the prince's teacher, he blocked what happened in the palace.
Qian Renxue probably didn't expect that even though she had already fled, she could still be ripped off.
However, this stability is only temporary. The news of Emperor Xueye's death cannot be concealed forever. Therefore, before the empire is in turmoil, the successor must be arranged.
On the other side, Qian Renxue returned to Wuhun City without stopping under the protection of several titled Douluo.
Lingyuan Douluo and Ghost Douluo sent Qian Renxue and Qianjun Jiangmo back to the enshrinement hall, while Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo returned to the Pope's Hall to resume their duties.
"So she failed?"
In the papal hall, Bibi Dong sat on the papal chair with a scepter in hand, her tone slightly lowered.
"Back to His Holiness, yes."
Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo lowered their heads, nervous inside.
Although this failure was not caused by them, it was the Wuhun Palace's long-planned plan, but now it fell short at the last moment, and they might also be affected.
"Humph, is this the person trained by Qian Daoliu? It's really useless!"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, a sarcastic look on her beautiful face.
The two titled Douluo in the audience remained silent, watching their noses with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths. Their hearts were full of bitterness and they did not dare to make any move at all.
There were some words that Bibi Dong could say, but they couldn't listen.
"Forget it, we don't expect her to succeed anyway. Although we have alerted the enemy, at least we have killed all the men of the Tiandou royal family. The Tiandou empire will inevitably fall into turmoil, which is also beneficial to the Wuhun Palace."
Bibi Dong suddenly spoke without reacting too radically.
This undoubtedly made Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo breath a sigh of relief.
However, what they didn't know was that compared to Qian Renxue's success in inheriting the Tiandou throne, failure was more in line with the Pope's heart.
As early as when Qian Xunji took away her body and ruined her relationship, Bibi Dong's original heart had been swallowed up by evil. She became extremely extreme and believed that every life in the world was evil and wanted to take revenge on the world. everyone.
She not only wants to destroy Wuhun Palace, but also everyone on the entire Douluo Continent.
Therefore, rather than relying on plans to conquer the Tiandou Empire, what Bibi Dong wanted to see was launching a large-scale war, and even wanted to involve the entire continent.
Qian Renxue's failure this time undoubtedly helped her.
'It's finally of some use. It's coming soon. When I finish the assessment...'
A crazy light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but it was quickly hidden by her, so that Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo, who were lowering their heads, did not notice it.
"Go down, get ready, don't let me down again!"
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope!"
The two titled Douluo responded quickly, then turned and walked out of the Pope's Palace.
…
Wuhun City, Worship Hall.
"I'm..."
On the exquisite bed, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.
The severe pain in her body had disappeared. She sat up suddenly and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar layout in the room. Her whole body suddenly relaxed.
This is her room in the worship hall. It is exactly the same as when she was a child!
"Have you returned to Wuhun City yet?"
Qian Renxue murmured softly, caressing her chest with a pair of slender catkins. Everything that happened in the Tiandou Palace echoed in her mind, and her calm face suddenly felt as cold as ice.
After being silent for a while, he finally regained his composure.
After more than twenty years of lurking, the girl's best years were spent lurking, just to be able to take down the Tiandou Empire in one fell swoop, but she failed in one attempt.
Qian Renxue silently clenched her pink fist, feeling quite unwilling in her heart.
It was obviously just one step away. As long as he waited for a while and announced the death of Emperor Xue Ye to the world, he, disguised as Xue Qinghe, could successfully ascend the throne.
Who would have thought that the Qibao Glazed Sect, which had been on guard, did not react, but Lin Chuan, who had disappeared for a long time, ruined the plan!
Qian Renxue clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Linchuan, you win this time, but I won't give up. We will meet again sooner or later!"
The cold voice echoed in the room, as if it was declaring war from a distance.
"Zhiqua——"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Xiaoxue, you finally woke up."
The visitor stepped over the steps and walked into the room, with a faint smile on his face.
"Grandpa!" Qian Renxue quickly stood up and shouted.
The handsome man in front of him, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, was Qian Renxue's biological grandfather, and he was also Qian Daoliu, the chief priest of Wuhun Palace.
He was tall but not strong, dressed in simple gray robes, and had a particularly gentle image, but just standing there gave people an urge to worship him.
Standing next to each other, it is difficult to think of them as grandfather and granddaughter, but more like brother and sister.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I failed."
Qian Renxue lowered her head slightly, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
The plan that had been prepared for many years, and also with the assistance of Wuhun Palace, failed in the end, which made Qian Renxue feel quite guilty.
"I already know the matter, Xiaoxue, you are still too anxious."
Qian Daoliu shook his head, but did not blame him.
Without waiting for Qian Renxue to speak, Qian Daoliu continued, "Since you are back, you should practice well. Now is the time to participate in the Angel God Exam."
"Yes, Grandpa, I will never let you down!"
Qian Renxue looked solemn and her tone was also very firm.
"When I have practiced successfully, I will definitely defeat Lin Chuan head-on and wash away this humiliation!"
"Lin Chuan... I didn't expect that there would be another Tang Hao on the mainland, and he was also an enemy of my Wuhun Hall. These forces are really talented!"
Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, "Grandpa, Lin Chuan is much stronger than Tang Hao, but I have the confidence to defeat him and lead the Wuhun Hall to glory!"
"Grandpa believes in you, come with me!"
Qian Daoliu waved his hand and took Qian Renxue to the Douluo Hall.
...
Not long after, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the Tiandou Empire.
Emperor Xue Ye died, and the crown prince Xue Qinghe, the fourth prince Xue Beng, and the prince Xue Xing were also assassinated one after another.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately set off an uproar in the Tiandou Empire. Countless people were shocked, but soon many nobles became active.
When the imperial power was transferred, it was also the most chaotic time.
Not only the nobles in the empire, but also all the principalities and kingdoms had their own little thoughts. At the same time, the neighboring Xingluo Empire was also ready to move.
However, before they could make any move, the Tiandou Empire also responded quickly.
With the support of the Qibao Liuli Sect and the Imperial Marshal Ge Long, the two of them overcame all objections and let the daughter of Emperor Xue Ye, Princess Xue Ke, inherit the throne.
The waves set off by this result were no less than the death of Emperor Xue Ye.
However, one was a powerful force of one of the top three sects, and the other was the head of a military officer with a large number of troops. The two reached a consensus that even if the villains wanted to make trouble, they would not have the courage.
The Xingluo Empire tried at the border, but finally did not act rashly.
On the surface, the death of Emperor Xue Ye did not bring too serious consequences, and the Tiandou Empire was barely able to maintain its rule.
Tiandou City, Dugu Bo's guest residence.
A captain of the imperial guards from the Tiandou Palace suddenly came here.
Lin Chuan was stunned, "You said the empress summoned me?"
"Replying to Lord Lin, His Majesty wants to invite you to the palace for a chat!"
Xue Ke had just ascended the throne not long ago. He didn't think about how to stabilize the court, win over the officials, and build his own team. Why did he suddenly summon him?
Win over? !
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chuan responded softly, "I know, you report to the empress first, wait for me to wash up, and then I will come!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The captain of the imperial guards breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and hurriedly turned away.
Dugu Bo on the side interrupted, "I didn't expect Xue Ke to become the emperor, the empress... This is probably the first case on the continent!"
"Lin boy, the palace suddenly summoned you to win over the marquis!"
Lin Chuan also smiled and nodded, "It should be the same as what you said, senior Dugu, but a princess has just ascended the throne, and her identity has changed so much, so her thoughts can't be so fast. I'm afraid that Master Ning is behind it!"
"So what do you plan to do?" Dugu Bo asked again.
Lin Chuan shook his head, "Let's meet this empress first. After all, I am also a marquis of the Tiandou Empire, and my fiefdom is also within the territory of the Tiandou Empire. It would be best if we can live in peace."
"That's right. With your current strength, your territory is so close to Tiandou City. If I don't figure out your attitude, I'm afraid the entire Tiandou Empire will be restless!"
"Then I'll go to the palace first."
Lin Chuan slowly stood up and walked towards the Tiandou Palace without haste.
At the same time, inside the palace
Xue Ke sat on the dragon throne in her imperial robe, her delicate face full of fatigue. It seemed that she was still a little uncomfortable with the life after inheriting the throne.
But as the daughter of Emperor Xue Ye and one of the few direct descendants of the royal family, she had to do this.
It was impossible to leave it alone and let the Tiandou Empire decline or even be destroyed, right?
"Master Ning, is Lord Lin really as important as you said?"
While waiting, Xue Ke couldn't help but ask softly.
Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting below, smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, Marquis Linchuan is the most talented soul master I have ever seen. He joined forces with His Majesty Poison Douluo and repelled six titled Douluos from the Spirit Hall. Even the former Haotian Douluo could not compare with him."
"Now that your majesty has just ascended the throne, even with the support of Marshal Ge Long, it is inevitable that the foundation is unstable. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most important thing to win more support from people. Marquis Linchuan is not only powerful, but also a powerful noble. The most important thing is that he will definitely become a super Douluo in the future."
"If we can get his support, it will be a great help to stabilize the rule of the empire and prevent the invasion of the Spirit Hall."
Hearing such a detailed explanation, Xue Ke probably understood it in her heart.
The girl clenched her fists slightly and silently cheered herself up.
"Your Majesty, Lord Linchuan has arrived!"
An eunuch suddenly reported.
Xue Ke took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "Let Marquis Lin come in!"
The eunuch quickly responded, turned around and hurried all the way to pass on Xue Ke's order.
After a while, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Lin Chuan was not stopped by anyone and walked all the way to Xue Ke and Ning Fengzhi.
Lin Chuan glanced at Ning Fengzhi and was not surprised that he was here.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress and to Sect Master Ning!"
