In terms of being exposed, Xuanyuan Qingtian's people could not escape Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes. He had long known that Xuanyuan Qingtian was monitoring him. The subordinates were talking at the same time. Now that something had happened, these simple-minded and brazen men couldn't even think of what to do. They could only gather together and think of a way to deal with it.
Although every place had a boss, because of this baldy's ferocious appearance, the bosses all avoided him. Normally, they listened to him a lot, and after what happened today, the bosses all waited for the baldy to give orders.
"Who cares what the f * ck it is. I will first report it to His Highness and see how he decides." The bald man scolded.
Hearing the bald man's report, Xuanyuan Qingtian had some doubts in his heart. He did not know what was Xuanyuan Zhan's intentions. Or could it be that Xuanyuan Zhan had already found the drop of blood?
He had to investigate it thoroughly first. He couldn't let Xuanyuan Zhan steal the credit in front of the Emperor, so he sent people to find the spy in Xuanyuan Zhan's residence and investigate the truth.
After a while, the servant rushed over and whispered into Xuanyuan Qingtian's ears. Xuanyuan Qingtian's face became uglier and uglier, both of his hands were clenched into fists. After the servant left, Xuanyuan Qingtian angrily threw the items on the table onto the ground, and said fiercely: "Alright, you, Xuanyuan Zhan, actually let you investigate it first!"
When that subordinate heard from the Battle King Manor that Xuanyuan Zhan had already found the blood bead, he would report to the Emperor tomorrow and offer the blood bead to the Emperor. That Xuanyuan Zhan would definitely not allow Xuanyuan Zhan to obtain such a contribution, not to mention that his position in the Yan Fei was closely related to the blood bead.
Xuanyuan Qingtian thought in his heart: This bead of blood is a treasure that can suppress nations, if I help the Emperor find it, then I will definitely reward Xuanyuan Zhan greatly, and at that time, when the ministers in the imperial court see that something is wrong, they will definitely go for Xuanyuan Zhan, then the people's hearts that he had spent so much effort to win over will immediately go down the drain. Xuanyuan Qingtian was very unwilling to accept this.
"Someone, come!" Xuanyuan Qingtian did his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked softly.
They did not look like the scares or guards of the crown prince's residence, but rather, they looked like a well-trained team. It was possible that they were the death guards that the legendary Yan Fei s had placed in the crown prince's mansion. He really did not expect that there would be such a refined dark guard to support Xuanyuan Qingtian.
"I wonder what orders Young Lord has." The leader of the guards asked.
"This crown prince wants you to throw me something." Xuanyuan Qingtian stood up and walked to the side of the shadow guard. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Please give the instructions, Young Lord." The dark guard lowered his head to show his sincerity.
Xuanyuan Qingtian turned around. He arrogantly said: "Go to Battle King Manor Xuanyuan Zhan and bring me the blood bead."
"Yes, Young Lord." Just as the man finished speaking, he heard the sound of wind blowing. Xuanyuan Qingtian turned around and saw that the hidden guards had already disappeared, their speed was extremely fast.
Xuanyuan Qingtian smiled, he did not expect the dark guards trained by the matriarch to be so powerful. If he had known this would happen, he would have executed Xuanyuan during the hunting trip, no need to go through so much trouble now.
Xuanyuan Qingtian sat in the courtyard, leisurely drinking his tea. Looking at his situation, he seemed to be waiting for the good news of the night.
Battle King Manor
Xuanyuan Zhan and Lei Yushandian were both in the study room, their expressions heavy. Their anger was extremely bizarre, and their hearts were all worried about the Blood Bead. Although they had already found it, if Xuanyuan Qingtian didn't take the bait right now, they might as well not have found it. Now, Xuanyuan Zhan was waiting for Xuanyuan Qingtian to take the bait.
Xuanyuan Zhan thought: If the crown prince's spies invade the palace and find out about his current situation, they would definitely be suspicious. According to common sense, after he solved such a major problem, the entire palace should celebrate.
"Alright, you can all go now. Don't worry, we won't make any mistakes."
Xuanyuan Zhan pretended to be relaxed as he said this. Seeing their loyal and devoted expressions, Xuanyuan Zhan could not bear to let them worry.
"Yes, Your Highness." The thunderstorm slowly withdrew.
Xuanyuan Zhan stayed in the study room for a while by himself before arriving at Feng Yu's room. Seeing that Feng Yu was actually drawing, he carefully didn't dare disturb his for even a moment, and went closer to look at the painting. What was this? However, he also looked very cute.
"What are you drawing?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.
Feng Yu jumped up due to the sudden voice, her hand trembled as she pointed at a black dot on the ground beside him. She then turned around and angrily said to Xuanyuan Zhan, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm drawing? "
When Xuanyuan Zhan found out that he had destroyed Feng Yu's painting, he was extremely angry at him and hurriedly apologized.
Feng Yu turned around and ignored him. She drew something else on the black dot. After a while, she put down the brush and looked at the painting again. There was no longer any black spot; it just so happened to be a complete painting.
It turned out that Feng Yu had changed the black dot into a kite, which matched the scene just now. It was just like a family out on a trip, the scene was unique and had a unique charm to it.
Feng Yu told Xuanyuan Zhan that she was drawing a comic-book, a new invention of hers. In the ancient times, Feng Yu was also considered to be the first person to draw a comic-book …
Normally, at this time he would be in the study or out on business, but why would he be so free today? Furthermore, it was already late at night and he should have been sleeping long ago. If it wasn't for the fact that Xuanyuan Zhan was tired of staying here, he might have already snored at this time of day.
"Hah ~ ~ ~" Feng Yu couldn't help but yawn. She was already dozing off.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Feng Yu, who was fighting with her eyelids up and down, and felt that it was kind of cute, but it also felt a little heartache, so he quickly let Feng Yu go to bed.
Xuanyuan Zhan walked into the courtyard, raised his head and looked at the starry sky, thinking: It's about time...
"Your Highness, as expected, they just left." Lei Yu arrived beside Xuanyuan Zhan and reported.
The corner of Xuanyuan Zhan's mouth revealed a smile, this hot potato was successfully thrown to Xuanyuan Qingtian who wanted to snatch the credit, and this was called returning the favor.
The reason why Xuanyuan Zhan was here today was so that the hidden guards could steal the blood droplets off him. However, everything was planned, so Xuanyuan Zhan returned home to sleep in peace.
Crown Prince's Palace
Xuanyuan Qingtian looked at the blood droplets that he had just obtained, his eyes emitting light, he thought: In the end, the blood droplets still fell into his hands, hmph, I never thought that Xuanyuan Zhan would still be so careless, I think the blood droplets must have gotten too happy, at tomorrow's assembly, he will definitely be surprised.
"Hahahaha ~" The moment Xuanyuan Qingtian thought of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
On the second day, Xuanyuan Qingtian woke up early and allowed Qin Yue to tie her hair and change her clothes. She was dressed in high spirits and prepared to take credit in front of the Emperor.
"I wonder what good news His Highness has today. Chenqie feels that there is something different about His Highness the Crown Prince." Qin Yue asked.
The crown prince was grinning from ear to ear, he could no longer control his emotions, and said, "There is indeed something good to do, royal father will treat us well from today onwards, just like before, maybe he will reward us handsomely!"
"Really? "It's just that a few days ago, chenqie was worried about His Highness the Crown Prince. How did something good happen so quickly?" Qin Yue asked suspiciously after hearing what Xuanyuan Qingtian said.
Xuanyuan Qingtian smiled mysteriously and whispered a few sentences beside Qin Yue's ear. For a moment, Qin Yue's face was covered with worry, and then she immediately became happy.
"Then chenqie will congratulate Your Highness."
Xuanyuan Qingtian nodded his head, he walked out the door happily and prepared to enter the palace.
What happened last night, Xuanyuan Zhan did not sound like it was happening, as if something unexpected was happening. Only Lei Yushandian knew about it, because at that time, he was still unsure of a lot of things …
throne room
The emperor sat majestically in the main hall. The eunuch beside him said in a sharp voice, "The court..."
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" A senior official knelt down and kowtowed.
"Rise, what do we need to report to our beloved officials?" The emperor's deep voice resounded within the great hall.
The Crown Prince was about to step forward and present the drop of blood to the Emperor, but the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry beat him to it.
Xuanyuan Zhan was silent as usual. The old emperor looked at Xuanyuan Zhan and asked, "Battle-King, how is the progress on the blood droplets?"
"Reporting to royal father, this son …" Just as Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Xuanyuan Qingtian.
"Reporting to royal father, this son has something to report." Xuanyuan Qingtian had finally gotten the chance, so he hurriedly interrupted Xuanyuan Zhan and said.
The Emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Qingtian, changed the subject, and asked: "Does the crown prince have anything to report?"
"This son has an item that he wishes to present to royal father. After he sees it, he will understand." As he spoke, he walked forward and handed the box to his father-in-law.
Xuanyuan Zhan watched this scene from below with a smug face. He wanted to see what the Emperor's reaction would be when he saw the drop of blood.
The emperor took the box and opened it. There was actually a drop of blood inside! He could not help but feel extremely surprised. He did not expect that the blood drops would be recovered so quickly.
"How did the crown prince obtain the blood droplets?" The Emperor was excited at the moment, to make things difficult for Xuanyuan Zhan, so as to cause the loss of the blood droplets, he blamed the Yan Fei and the crown prince for not keeping a watch on him, and so he kept a cold eye on the two of them. After all, the blood droplets were treasures of the kingdom, so losing them would definitely cause a commotion.
When the officials in the imperial court heard the emperor's words and knew that the box contained the nation's treasure, the Blood Bead, they began to discuss in hushed voices.
"Ever since this son knew about the loss of the blood bead, he had always been worried, and wanted to solve royal father's problem, so he had always been secretly investigating the traces of the blood bead. Although royal father had handed this matter over to the Battle King, this son thought that if he could find the blood bead, it would also allow A Zhan to rest for a bit, so he decided to investigate the case on his own.
The Crown Prince's words were touching. He was worried about the matters of the kingdom and was very dutiful about it. He was sympathetic to his brothers and sisters and showed that he was truly capable.
Upon hearing the crown prince's words, the emperor nodded his head in admiration. He felt that his Tian Er had finally grown up. He gently swept the blood droplets with his peripheral vision. His expression was slightly startled. He felt that the blood droplets were a little strange, but in front of the civil and military ministers of the court, it was not appropriate to take them out to carefully observe.
"Cough cough …" "His Highness the Crown Prince is really worried about the nation. He is very considerate to us. He has shown us great kindness and appreciation."
"This son thanks royal father. Long live royal father!" Xuanyuan Qingtian happily accepted the order, after which, everyone followed and knelt down, paying their respects to the Emperor.
Xuanyuan Qingtian lifted his chin and looked at Xuanyuan Zhan with a bit of complacency, very contemptuously. Xuanyuan Zhan's expression was very relaxed, he smiled and gave Xuanyuan Qingtian a congratulatory gesture. Seeing such a calm and indifferent expression on Xuanyuan Zhan's face, some anger welled up in his heart. How could Xuanyuan Zhan not care at all about such a heavy blow …
