Xuan Siling stood on the small building of the hot spring palace, quietly looking at the misty rain in the distance. Her subordinates in the palace quietly came to her side and reported softly: "To the eldest princess, the warriors sent out did not find the two The traces of the assassin, but..."

Xuan Siling suddenly turned around: "Nothing,"

"The emperor led five hundred Longlin Guards to block the road at the foot of the mountain,"

Xuan Siling said angrily: "He is so brave. What are you doing, demonstrating to me?"

The maid was too frightened to say anything.

Xuan Siling bit her lower lip and said, "Give me the order to carefully search every inch of Qiudong Mountain. Even if they turn into ashes, I will find them."

The palace maid whispered: "What should I do with the emperor?"

Xuan Siling sneered and said: "Let him go, I want to see what tricks he can come up with."

Xuan Yuan sat quietly in the waterside pavilion, his cold eyes like the moist air, looking at the water with confusion, looking at the vast scene of water mist.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the silky drizzle slightly moistened his face. Xuan Yuan subconsciously wrapped her robe tightly, and suddenly let out a rapid cough.

His pale face turned completely blue due to the violent coughing and wheezing. Xuan Yuan covered his lips with a handkerchief, and his chest heaved violently.

Tang Lie and Mo Wuhen were brought into the waterside pavilion just at this time.

Xuan Yuan waved her hand vigorously, signaling the warrior to let them go, removed her handkerchief, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sit down,"

Tang Lie and Mo Wuhen looked at each other and sat down opposite Xuan Yuan.

Xuan Yuan's eyes fell on Mo Wuhen and whispered: "The special envoy came from afar and was so frightened. This is all my fault."

Mo Wuhen politely replied: "Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. There are some things that we don't want to let happen. Maybe God is not willing to let our two countries enter into an alliance." Ever since hearing the conversation between the eldest princess Xuan Siling and Adams, Mo Wuhen Hen had already made up his mind to no longer form an alliance with the Xuanwu Kingdom.

Xuan Yuan didn't seem to be surprised at all and said calmly: "This is how it should be. After the special envoy returns to Crystal City this time, I hope you can apologize to the Queen on my behalf."

His attitude surprised Mo Wuhen.

While they were talking, Tang Lie was quietly observing Xuan Yuan's face, and found that Xuan Yuan's face was extremely pale, with a face of severe anemia. He obviously lacked energy when speaking, and thought to himself: "Could it be that Xuan Yuan is sick?"

Xuan Yuan chatted with Mo Wuhen for a while and said, "I won't delay the special envoy's rest. I just have a few words that I want to say to him alone." The person he was referring to was naturally Tang Lie.

Mo Wuhen nodded, stood up and said goodbye to Xuan Yuan.

Tang Lie and Xuan Yuan looked at each other. In Tang Lie's heart, he didn't have the slightest fondness for Xuan Yuan. If it weren't for him, Xuanwu Kingdom would not have fallen to where it is today.

Xuan Yuan whispered: "Is Xuan Bo okay?"

Tang Lie was startled in his heart. He didn't expect that the conversation between Xuan Yuan and him would start like this.

Tang Lie nodded and said, "Very good,"

"That's good," a rare smile appeared on Xuan Yuan's pale face. He began to cough again. He covered his lips with white silk for a long time before he calmed down. When he removed it, the white silk was already stained with a pool of There were blood stains, Xuan Yuan whispered: "You should be able to tell that I am seriously ill,"

Tang Lie remained silent and thought to himself: "This bastard doesn't want me to treat him, right?"

Xuan Yuan said: "I'm afraid I won't survive..." There was infinite sadness in his eyes.

Tang Lie hesitated for a moment but then walked towards him and whispered: "Can I check it for you?"

Xuan Yuan nodded and handed his wrist to Tang Lie. Tang Lie stretched out his fingers and placed them on his pulse gate. He felt that his pulse was messy. It was obvious that his condition was extremely serious, and his face immediately became serious.

Xuan Yuan said: "Someone put chronic poison in my diet. By the time I found out, it was already too late."

Tang Lie sighed and said, "As long as it's poison, there should be a way to save it."

Xuan Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "This time is different. I can feel that it will be difficult for me to escape this disaster."

Tang Lie whispered: "Prince, do you want me to help you?" He still addressed Xuan Yuan as before.

Xuan Yuan shook her head: "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid you can't do anything about it this time."

Tang Lie knew that what he said was indeed the truth. He was not good at detoxifying. What's more, he knew nothing about the poison in Xuan Yuan's body and had no way of starting.

Xuan Yuan said: "As the saying goes, a person's words are good even when he is about to die. I have realized a lot of things now." He stood up, walked slowly to the west window, looked into the distance and said, "I admire you." My father, I once hoped that one day I would become a leader like him... But today I just realized that I cannot be like him..." Tears blurred his eyes.

Tang Lie's disgust for him suddenly turned into sympathy.

Xuan Yuan said: "My father's decision to hand over the power to Xuan Bo is undoubtedly a huge blow to me. I can't understand this matter. I even want to prove my ability at all costs."

Tang Lie whispered: "Have you ever thought about why Xuan Bo has never thought about competing with you for the throne, and why she keeps hiding the secret edict? It's all because she wants to preserve your relationship as brother and sister."

Xuan Yuan nodded: "It's a pity that it was too late when I understood that Adams colluded with the eldest princess and wanted to seize my Xuan family's foundation. Sima Tai supported me on the surface, but secretly developed his own power. The whole The kingdom is in disarray,"

Tang Lie suddenly discovered that Xuan Yuan was not useless. He had a very clear understanding of the empire's situation and his current environment.

Xuan Yuan sneered: "They thought I was kept in the dark and wanted to take advantage of me. In fact, I have already seen through their wolfish ambitions. Unfortunately... God did not give me a chance."

Tang Lie nodded and said, "Sometimes it's true that people's calculations are worse than God's calculations."

Xuan Yuan whispered: "Although Adams is a dragon knight, he is not the most terrifying person in the empire."

Tang Lie was slightly startled and subconsciously took a step towards Xuan Yuan.

Xuan Yuan said: "The truly terrifying person is Sima Tai. After I ascended the throne, he relied on my trust to rapidly develop his own power. Now his minions are all over the court. Adams and the eldest princess are allied with the Sea Clan.

Supporters, they want to use the power of the Sea Clan to eradicate the forces in Chuanyun City, and then replace me in my position. No matter what their purpose is, they ultimately hope that Xuanwu Kingdom will enter a unified and pacified situation as soon as possible,"

Xuan Yuan changed the subject: "Sima Tai is completely different. He does not want the alliance between the Sea Tribe and the Empire to succeed. His purpose is to let the Xuanwu Empire continue to be consumed by the civil war. The assassination of Pu Long Qi on the way is probably caused by him.

What he did,"

Tang Lie couldn't help but said: "What good does this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself do him?"

Xuan Yuan whispered: "I suspect that he is the most mysterious dragon knight in the empire, and he is most likely a subordinate of Demon Emperor Qiu Chan..."

Tang Lie took a breath of air. Things inside Xuanwu Kingdom were far more complicated than he imagined. If everything was really as Xuan Yuan said, the power of Demon Emperor Qiu Chan was really terrifying to the extreme.

Xuan Yuan said: "Although I am stupid, I don't want the inheritance of my ancestors to be destroyed in my hands. I don't want to face my father shamelessly under the spring. I don't want to become a sinner of the entire empire." His tears fell silently, and in his heart

It was the first time that my regret was revealed in front of outsiders.

Tang Lie nodded movedly. The reason why Xuan Yuan told him everything in his heart was so that he could relay his words to Xuan Bo. Tang Lie said: "I think Princess Xuan Bo knows all this and will definitely not

I blame you again,"

Xuan Yuan turned around and said with a sad smile: "I'm telling you this not because I want to use you to gain my sister's forgiveness. I don't have a long life. I just hope that my sister can preserve the inheritance of our ancestors during my lifetime."

, I will do my best to help her,"

Tang Lie said: "The special envoy and I happened to overhear the conversation between the eldest princess and General Adams. I'm afraid they can't wait for your throne."

Xuan Yuan sneered: "In their eyes, I have always been just a puppet."

Tang Lie thought to himself: "What's wrong with you?"

Xuan Yuan said: "Adams and the eldest princess seem to want to drive you all away,"

Tang Lie smiled calmly and said, "It's inevitable that we broke through their conspiracy."

Xuan Yuan said: "I'm afraid there is something you don't know. They have fabricated evidence that you and the special envoy conspired to assassinate the eldest princess and kill the Xuan Bing Sage. It will soon be spread to the ears of the Queen of the Sea Clan,"

"So, doesn't it mean we have no way out?"

Xuan Yuan said: "Don't worry, I will arrange for you to leave the imperial capital. As for what happens next, it depends on your own destiny."

After Tang Lie bid farewell to Xuan Yuan, he returned to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying. Mo Wuhen heard the news of his return and walked out of the room. He asked curiously: "What important matter does the emperor want to talk to you about?"

Tang Lie smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid we'll be in trouble again. That dagger was indeed used by them."

Mo Wuhen sighed softly and said: "Now that things are like this, we can only take one step at a time. In fact, I have no face to face Her Majesty the Queen."

Tang Lie didn't understand what she meant for a while and asked: "Why?"

Mo Wuhen was ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but said: "It's not because of you..." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and there were two blushes on his pretty face.

Tang Lie coughed in embarrassment. He didn't expect that he and Mo Wuhen would have had so many things happen during his confusion. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Have you noticed anything wrong with Xuan Yuan?"

Mo Wuhen nodded. She was an expert in using poison. She had already noticed that Xuan Yuan was poisoned when she first saw him. She sighed softly: "Judging from his face, he is chronically poisoned." It's a sign that the poison has penetrated deep into his internal organs, and even if we find an antidote, it won't be able to save his life."

Tang Lie said: "Although I don't have much research on poisons, the poisons I have been poisoned should not be as bad as Xuan Yuan's. Since I can recover, why can't he?"

Mo Wuhen said: "Your physique is extremely special, not to mention that you were poisoned for a short period of time, which is completely different from him."

Tang Lie nodded silently, knowing in his heart that Xuan Yuan was indeed hopeless, and he felt inexplicable sadness.

Mo Wuhen secretly looked at Tang Lie. It was hard to believe that the kind and chivalrous man in front of him was the devil who shamelessly raped him before. They were all trying their best to avoid that incident in the past, but no one could truly forget that incident. Wuhen silently asked himself: "How should I treat him?"

That night, Xuan Yuan personally took a boat and sailed down the Laishui River to send Tang Lie and the two out of the imperial capital. When leaving, he handed Tang Lie a bamboo tube and said solemnly: "I must give it to my sister with my own hands..." …”
