C178 heart-wrenching

As the day of Xuanyuan Chen's and Xie Qingrong's wedding drew closer, the scent of flames in the imperial court grew stronger and stronger, especially when Emperor Xuanyuan was sick in bed. He passed all the authority over to Xuanyuan Chen.

Many people who wanted to take the spot had already smelled the true intentions of Emperor Xuanyuan's actions. Maybe the last place that the Emperor Xuanyuan considered to be a Crown Prince was Xuanyuan Chen.

However, there were also those who were still hoping for a fluke and believed that this matter still had a sliver of hope.

The day before they found out about Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong's wedding, Prince Chen's Mansion and the general's mansion busied themselves preparing for the wedding banquet, extremely busy.

On this day, lightning streaked across the sky and ripped open deep holes in the sky. The thunderous roars echoed through the sky like drums. The torrential storm swept over.

However, the weather was so harsh, those who wanted to go to the morning assembly had to quickly enter the palace, including Xuanyuan Chen who was about to get married.

Originally, he did not need to go to court today, but yesterday, the Emperor Xuanyuan had specially instructed him not to be late because of being too excited, so Xuanyuan Chen had a plan.

He could probably guess the real intention of the Emperor Xuanyuan telling him to come to the court.

An intense and solemn atmosphere enveloped the great hall of the Dry Clear Palace. Today, the Emperor Xuanyuan did not speak any more nonsense before the discussion, and directly ordered Fu Quan to announce the imperial edict.

"In accordance with the heaven's will, the imperial edict states:

Since the ancient emperors had succeeded the emperor to stand at the zenith and to control the region of the world, they would set up the Yuan Dang and Mao Long as the foundation of the nation, and the Yi Zong Society would have no territory to rest on. I was trembling with fear all through the night. In the face of death. The delivery was extremely heavy. I will help you to celebrate your actions in Yuan Liang.

The first son Chen, the second son of the Sun Shou-ying. Her talent was pure and beautiful. The empress dowager and empress dowager are to be merciful. The presentation ceremony. They would obey the public's wishes. I am pleased to inform the heavens and the earth, the Temple of the Ancestor, and the State of Nations.

In the 32nd year of the Heaven realm, Yin He was bestowed with a precious treasure. He was named Crown Prince. the true Eastern Palace, with ten thousand years of history and the heart of the four seas. "

Fukuhara's shrill voice instantly spread throughout the entire hall. The officials kneeled down and kowtowed as they said, "Congratulations your majesty, congratulations Prince Chen."

From this moment onwards, Xuanyuan Chen became the crown prince of Heavenly Sage Kingdom, with great honor and disgrace.

Xuanyuan Jing clenched his fists tightly, the anger in his heart reaching its peak, and at the same time, he bent down.

Why? Even after working so hard, his machinations were still not as easy as Xuanyuan Chen's to obtain what he wanted.

It was once the gentle love and careful guidance of my royal father, but now it has become the crown prince.

It was a pity that he wasn't able to bring down Xuanyuan Chen. Back then on the battlefield, he should have listened to the words of the matriarch and eradicated Xuanyuan Chen, saving him from any future worries.

Now, it was too late to say anything.

Prime Minister Ye knelt on the ground and sighed deeply in his heart. Even after planning so far, Xuanyuan Jing still wasn't able to successfully obtain the position of crown prince.

If Xuanyuan Chen became the crown prince, the Emperor Xuanyuan would eventually abdicate. Moreover, the dragon body of the Emperor Xuanyuan was injured, so it was only a matter of time before Xuanyuan Chen ascended the throne and became the emperor.

At that time, with the new and old debts added together, the Ye Family would sooner or later fall.

A vicious look flashed past Prime Minister Ye's eyes, it was so fast that no one could catch it.

The court officials standing behind Prime Minister Ye all felt threatened.

Xuanyuan Chen received the title of crown prince but was not surprised at all, it was as if he had already known that he would become crown prince.

Prime Minister Changsun watched Xuanyuan Chen receive the imperial edict with gratitude, and felt like he was on the verge of tears.

Ever since the previous crown prince had passed away, he had been looking forward to Xuanyuan Chen becoming the crown prince for far too long.

Xuanyuan Chen took the imperial edict and walked step by step out of Dry Clear Palace's palace gate. On the way, countless of officials congratulated him. Although the disciples of the Prime Minister Ye and Xuanyuan Jing were not satisfied with Xuanyuan Chen obtaining the position of crown prince, they still congratulated him with difficulty.

As for the Prime Minister Changsun and the disciples behind him, they all wholeheartedly congratulated him.

Xuanyuan Chen heard their congratulations, and nodded politely to them, but in his heart, he kept clamoring to see Xie Qingrong.

The downpour did not stop and amidst the howling wind, these threads of rain were blown into the umbrella nonstop. Xuanyuan Chen protected Xie Qingrong who was in his embrace tightly, preventing the ice-cold rain from falling out of his embrace.

Xuanyuan Chen brought Xie Qingrong to a graveyard. The graveyard was extremely clean, as if it was cleaned often by someone, and on the gravestone were carved the words "Xuanyuan Rui's Tomb".

Xuanyuan Chen handed the umbrella over to Xie Qingrong, and he walked out of the umbrella, and knelt in front of Xuanyuan Rui's tombstone.

Xie Qingrong looked at Xuanyuan Chen who was drenched in the heavy rain. Just as she was about to put the umbrella over his head, she heard a burst of "putong" sound.

Unexpectedly, it was Xuanyuan Chen who kneeled down too hard, and made a sound.

The icy cold rain water had been mercilessly sprinkling on top of Xuanyuan Chen's long black hair, sprinkling on top of his blood-red red clothes, sprinkling on top of his peerlessly beautiful face.

"Royal brother, I've come to see you." Xuanyuan Chen's low voice sounded. Along with the rain, they heard Xie Qingrong's ears, which made them feel an unspeakable pain.

Xie Qingrong stroked her heart, and with some heartache, she placed her hand on Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder.

The rain had drenched Xie Qingrong's slender hands.

Xuanyuan Chen lightly patted the back of Xie Qingrong's hand, and introduced him with a smile: "Royal brother, this is my wife, Xie Qingrong. Isn't it beautiful? "

Xie Qingrong waved the umbrella open, and like Xuanyuan Chen, kneeled in front of Xuanyuan Rui's tombstone. Rainwater instantly rained on Xie Qingrong's body, and gradually wet her hair and clothes.

"Royal brother, I am Xie Qingrong. I've long heard that my royal brother is coming to see you today. Xie Qingrong cupped his fist like a child of the martial arts world and said apologetically.

Xuanyuan Chen smiled, extended his arm and put it around Xie Qingrong's shoulders, and said solemnly: "Elder brother, I have two things that I have come here to tell you today. The first thing is, tomorrow will be the day of A Rong and I's grand wedding. If royal brother finds out, he will definitely be happy for us.

The second matter is that royal father has made me the crown prince of Heavenly Sage Kingdom. In the end, I have failed to live up to my royal brother's last expectations. I hope that my royal brother will not blame me. I apologize to my royal brother here. "

The Xuanyuan Chen who had always been calm and composed, with an extraordinary temperament, was actually a little at a loss right now. His face was filled with regret and shame as he spoke of these apologetic matters towards his royal brother.

Xie Qingrong was initially shocked that Xuanyuan Chen would become the crown prince, but at this moment, she felt a little heartache for Xuanyuan Chen.

That day, at the bottom of the cliff, she found out that Xuanyuan Chen had always had a dear older brother, but that brother had unluckily perished, and felt that it was a great pity.

Afterwards, when she heard about Brother Xuanyuan Chen from time to time, the expression on his face made her even more curious.

Now, with Xuanyuan Chen's appearance, she had even more so made up his mind to find out everything about Xuanyuan Rui.

She couldn't let Xuanyuan Chen live on with a guilty conscience, so she had to make clear what exactly happened to the previous crown prince.
