Gu Qianqiu looked at the face under the hood in shock.
At this moment, he felt so unfamiliar.
It was as if he was seeing Jade for the first time.
"Jade, I can't borrow the power of the demons. This is my bottom line! If Imperial Father finds out about this, this prince will definitely die without a burial place!”
Gu Qianqiu growled in a low voice.
"It's not borrowing, but a small cooperation.”
Jade's tone was calm as she slowly told him the method to regain his Saint Heart.
"…Only in this way can Your Highness regain His Majesty's appreciation. Is Your Highness willing to give up the throne?”
Gu Qianqiu's expression changed. His eyes flickered as he hesitated.
"Your Highness, this is the only way now.”
Jade's words caused Gu Qianqiu to reveal a ferocious expression. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Alright, this prince agrees, but this matter cannot be known to a third person other than you and me!”
"Don't worry, no one else will know about this.”
Jade's eyes flashed as she revealed a faint smile.
"Alright, I'll go and beg my father tomorrow. No matter what, I have to get his permission to go to the Demonic Abyss City.”
……
Imperial City, city gate.
After the Zhao Dynasty's diplomatic mission left the Imperial Palace in a hurry, they packed their luggage and left the Imperial City without stopping.
In the spacious carriage, Zhao Tianyi, who had been lying down, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
"Sixth Prince, you're awake?"
In the Four Poles Palace, the External Emissary who had once stood in front of Zhao Tianyi cupped his hands in delight.
Zhao Tianyi rubbed his head and said blankly,"
"Where am I now?"
"Your Highness, we have already left the Ancient Imperial City and are on our way back to the capital of Zhao.”
The foreign envoy immediately replied.
"Oh."
After a long time, Zhao Tianyi's expression returned to normal.
"Humph!"
Zhao Tianyi looked in the direction of the Imperial City through the window and said coldly,"
"You wasted my time for nothing. I didn't expect that old man, the Emperor of the Ancients, to place so much importance on his useless daughter.”
"Your Highness, it seems like the rumors are not true. Furthermore, Emperor Gu doesn't seem to care about Gu Qianqiu.”
The external envoy stroked his beard and said slowly.
"I don't know what Seventh Brother is thinking, forcing me to come here. Fortunately, Emperor Gu didn't agree to this marriage.”
Zhao Tianyi adjusted his Qilin crown and complained.
"His Highness Xingchen is the prince that His Majesty admires the most. He is also the prince with the strongest talent in beast taming in the history of our dynasty. He is extremely intelligent and has far-reaching strategies.”
"Seventh Prince's actions must be profound.”
When the envoy mentioned Zhao Xingchen, the Seventh Prince of the Zhao Empire, his expression and words were filled with admiration.
"Alright, this prince will report it truthfully.”
Zhao Tianyi was older than Zhao Xingchen, but he had a tone that followed Zhao Xingchen's lead.
……
In the Fourth Prince's mansion.
After Gu Tianque finished listening to his subordinate's report, a thoughtful look surfaced in his eyes.
"As expected, Second Brother couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to apply to go to the Demon Abyss.”
"I don't think Third Brother will give up so easily and go to the Devil Abyss to atone for his sins?”
"... Hmm, this possibility is very high..."
"Should I also apply to go to the Devil Abyss?”
Gu Tianque muttered to himself and shook his head.
"The Demon Abyss is too dangerous. It's better to stay in the Imperial City and help Imperial Father deal with government affairs.”
"It's just that I didn't expect that my royal sister would also apply to go to the Demon Abyss…My royal sister is indeed my greatest enemy on the road to the throne.”
……
In the Second Prince's mansion.
Situ Tong looked at the second prince, Gu Zang Tian, with a nervous expression. His back was already drenched in cold sweat.
Gu Zang Tian was wiping a Guan Yu Saber in his hand. The Guan Yu Saber was flickering with a cold and eerie luster.
"Situ Tong, this prince will ask you one more time. What secrets does the Fire Sparrow that Fifth Sister contracted have?”
"Your Highness, I really don't know.”
This was the tenth time that Ancient Zang Tian had asked this question.
Situ Tong's answer was always the same.
He was also speechless and depressed.
Situ Tong indeed did not know Dao Yi's secret.
He was also confused by what had happened in the Four Supreme Palace. He couldn't understand.
Whoosh!
A white blade light lit up.
A cold Guan Yu Blade appeared above Situ Tong's head.
Situ Tong was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy,
"Second Prince, this old minister truly doesn't know. Even if you behead this old minister now, this old minister will still give this answer.”
"Your Highness, it's true. This old minister is absolutely not lying to you.”
Situ Tong's old face turned pale from fright.
This was Ancient Zang Heaven, and he really dared to kill people.
Gu Zang Tian did not speak, but his eyes shone brightly.
"Alright, this prince will believe you this once. If this prince finds out that you're not telling the truth, you know what the consequences will be.”
Gu Zang Tian put away his Guan Yu Saber and said indifferently.
Situ Tong felt as if he had been pardoned. He repeatedly apologized before fleeing from the Second Prince's mansion.
……
Within the Four Extreme Palace.
Wu Ling and Mu Yunlan had already left and returned to the Nine Mystic Beast Tamer Academy.
There was only a father and daughter in the hall.
And Dao Yi.
"Xuan 'er, you must be careful when you go to the Demonic Abyss. During the Demonic Abyss trials, the trial-takers will travel alone.”
the Ancient Emperor said with concern.
Gu Shenxuan glanced at Dao Yi, who was perched on her shoulder.
"Father, don't worry. I know how dangerous the Demonic Abyss is.”
The Emperor of the Ancients nodded slightly and sighed." That's the only way. Don't do it!" You must prioritize your own safety. Dao Yi…I'll leave Xuan 'er to you.”
Dao Yi, who was lying on Gu Shenxuan's shoulder, curled his lips and rolled over.
Seeing this, the Ancient Emperor shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Father, do you have any Space Crystals?”
Seeing that Dao Yi didn't want to talk to Emperor Gu, Gu Shenxuan's red lips curved up slightly.
Hmm?
Dao Yi immediately stood up and looked at the Ancient Emperor with fervent eyes.
"There is a palm-sized piece in the treasure vault…"
The Emperor of the Ancients paused for a moment and said.
"The size of a palm? Enough, enough! It's definitely enough!"
Dao Yi said happily when he heard that.
Hmm?
The Ancient Emperor looked at Gu Shenxuan in confusion.
? A conflicted expression appeared on Ancient God Xuan's beautiful face.
How could she not be conflicted?
The Space Crystal was an ore that contained the space attribute. It was extremely precious.
There was only one piece in the entire Gu Empire's treasury.
Gu Shenxuan was very worried. She said that she wanted to use the Space Crystal to build a bed for Dao Yi.
The Ancient Emperor might even faint from anger.
Seeing Gu Shenxuan's hesitation, Dao Yi couldn't help but say to Emperor Gu,"
"Gu Shenxuan promised to use the Space Crystal to build a bed for me and put it in the Imperial Beast Space.”
——！！
Hearing this, Emperor Gu's eyes widened in shock.
Although Gu Shenxuan wanted to say that Dao Yi was trying to extort her, she was the future Empress.
The emperor's words were written by the heavens.
Gu Shenxuan couldn't bear to look at Emperor Gu's aged face, so she closed her eyes and nodded.
" Cough…cough…cough…"
"Hey, old man, you can't faint…"
Dao Yi's slightly panicked voice sounded.
……
I need to go out at night, so I updated it in advance.
