Chapter 260: The palace changes!

After returning to Pengzes City for about half a month, Ling Xiao stayed in seclusion and went out to the emperor every day to talk about ancient culture, or talked to a few girls to enhance their feelings. Ling Xiao's treatment of feelings has gradually changed from passive to active. This change really made several girls happy. However, Isha and Huang Puyue were about to go to the imperial capital, because there was a new Ling auction house there.

Going to the imperial capital to do business was also the result of careful consideration by Ling's team. As the center of the economy and politics of the Blue Moon Empire, the imperial capital Yalan has been an ancient city that has experienced more than a thousand years of ups and downs. Its cultural heritage and wealthy nobles are not comparable to that of Pengzes, an important southern town.

Moreover, opening the auction house in the imperial capital to a certain extent is equivalent to appeaseing the heart of His Majesty the old king. The thing that His Majesty the king is most afraid of now is probably that the Ling family wants to move out of the imperial capital. Once the Ling family makes such a move, it may mean that the Blue Moon Empire will change!

Fortunately, Ling announced that he would open an auction house in the imperial capital and gradually increase the supply of beauty pills in the future. After receiving this news, the person who was most happy was not those noble ladies who were looking forward to it, but His Majesty the old king.

Although he had sent people to ask for help from the Li family in the Western Regions behind the royal family, His Majesty the King was always in a position to be sure. Finally, Ling Xiao's actions dispelled the suspect of the Ling family's rebellion to a certain extent.

In the palace, the old Marshal Qiu Chen sat opposite His Majesty the King, and the two chuckled and talked.

His Majesty the King had no airs of a country ruler in front of the old Marshal Qiu Chen, with a modest smile on his face and was wearing a black casual outfit with gold thread hand-embroidered with the pattern of the Blasting Lion King.

"Master, you really want to tell me right. The boy from the Ling family does not seem to be rebellious. Alas, after all, I did this wrong and I feel ashamed of others! I hope that my behavior of increasing the title will allow him to understand my kindness!"

His Majesty the King sighed softly, Xiang Ming in front of him calmly closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and then said: "In the past two years, with the birth of the Ling family boy, those hidden aristocratic sects have begun to become restless, just like cats that smell the fishy smell, they are all ready to move. Alas... Our puppet has been obedient for more than a thousand years. Grandmaster, when did you say it was a beginning? These hidden aristocratic families, even the Li family in the Western Regions behind the royal family, have always been above the imperial power. I really feel very uncomfortable in my heart! Humph, I hope now that this pool of water can be more muted, so that the Ling family boy can completely destroy those hidden aristocratic sects! Their existence makes the imperial power unable to truly concentrate!"

Qiu Chen had known what kind of personality His Majesty the King was. Although the old king had nothing to do with his strength, his ambitions have always been very ambitious since he was young!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight from a small third-rate country step by step to a super empire that runs side by side with the Zichuan Empire in the Eastern Continent! Speaking of which, the only role played by the Li family in the Western Regions behind the royal family in the expansion of the territory of the Blue Moon Empire is probably to shock other hidden families.

The so-called things in the secular world are solved by the secular world, but if there is no strong hidden family as support, you can't help but rule a big country safely. Therefore, the old king did not deny the Li family in the Western Regions behind the royal family, but one thing is obvious. If there are no strong hidden family sects, with his ability, he can create more brilliant achievements and build a larger territory!

Achieve immortal achievements and achieve hegemony for generations!

Unfortunately, because of the existence of those hidden families, the old king's idea can only be regarded as a complaint.

"Your Majesty, I have always admired the child of the Ling family. Moreover, as an old man who has lived for so many years, I believe in my own eyes. That child will never easily develop a rebellious heart unless His Majesty pushes him hard and angers him."

Qiu Chen said, laughed a few times, and then said, "Your Majesty obviously doesn't like to hear what the old minister said, because although Ling Xiao is not a member of the Hidden Family, has His Majesty not felt that the current strength of the three sons of the Ling family... is no worse than those Hidden Family?"

His Majesty the King sighed softly, his hand that had been dry, gently tapped the table twice, and said with a slightly bitter face: "Of course I know very well, so the purpose of my visit today is also this, Grand Marshal, how do you think this matter should be solved to eliminate future troubles forever? After all, the three sons of the Ling family did not rebelliously, which does not mean that his descendants did not rebelliously either."

"Unless, you can give it to the Ling family forever like treating those hidden families." Qiu Chen's eyes flashed and he said softly: "However, this will definitely affect the power of the Second Highness."

The old king suddenly raised his head, his two somewhat turbid old eyes raised their heads and looked at Qiu Chen. After a while, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid you are the only one who says such straightforward words in front of me in this country. However, speaking of this, you are a good idea and treat them as hidden families. Then, this hidden family exchange conference held in the East China Sea must be going to Ling Xiao. I should ask my family to propose to absorb the Ling family into the hidden family! It's best... choose the leader of the hidden family sect, haha, that's more perfect!"

Qiu Chen looked at the old king helplessly and shook his head, thinking that as long as he was in power for one day, he would never be able to destroy all hidden aristocratic sects. How to use the conflicts between them to make those hidden aristocratic sects fight themselves is something that His Majesty the King often discussed with Qiu Chen when he was young.

However, those who hide aristocratic sects are not people without IQ after all, how could they make such low-level mistakes? There are also various ways to check and balance each other.

However, Qiu Chen felt that the suggestion made by His Majesty the old king this time was indeed sinister enough! His intentions were sinister enough!

Collect those super families and then suggest that they choose a leader. If this suggestion is really adopted, then for hundreds of years, no one of these hidden aristocratic sects will want to live a peaceful life. In the end, if all the power is exhausted, it will be impossible for them to argue with each other.

This leader is like the emperor in the secular world. Who doesn’t want to be the one?

Moreover, the difference between the high-ranking hidden aristocratic sects and the secular world is that being the leader of all aristocratic sects can be described as a huge thing! What do you want to get the most in the hidden aristocratic sects?

Crystal cores, sword skills, exercises... and various elixirs, as well as various hand scrolls, alchemy, alchemy techniques in ancient ruins... all kinds of these are all in one go.

Becoming this leader means that you can mobilize various resources and manpower at will. It can be said that you have almost become the overlord of the entire continent!

Let me ask, who doesn’t want to be the leader of the alliance as long as there is a little ambition?

Qiu Chen nodded gently and exclaimed: "If this suggestion is adopted, then the royal families of various countries on the mainland should really thank you Your Majesty!"

His Majesty the old king laughed twice, showed a smug look on his face, and then snorted: "Those people always think that strength represents everything, and that if they are strong, they can surpass the imperial power. Those children of aristocratic families have always had no respect for the people in the royal family! Including my family... the Li family in the Western Regions! Therefore, if I were to choose, I would rather let them all be destroyed than let this perverted family affecting the balance of the world continue to exist! I always don't understand why the Holy Land has collected the strong people above the Sword Saint, those Sword Sect, Sword Emperor, and Sword Master! They should not exist in this world! Their existence is simply a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Imperial Power! It makes me... have no peace day and night."

Qiu Chen nodded faintly. No matter what, his friendship with the old king was a friendship that lasted for decades. As long as His Majesty the King didn't think about how to deal with Ling Xiao's words, his heart would still be thinking about the old king!

At this time, a guard suddenly came in outside, looking very frightened and looked at Qiu Chen in embarrassment. The old Marshal Qiu Chen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will also write a book on the Ling family to give the three sons of the Ling family. I believe that he will sell his face to the old minister!"

The old king nodded. The guard was his confidant. His arrival made the old king feel a little uneasy. He looked at Qiu Chen and smiled, "thank you, my friend!"

Qiu Chen smiled on his face, remembering the scene of the two fighting side by side on the battlefield, and bowed slightly: "The old minister is not old. If your Majesty needs it, the old minister will still use swords and guns to kill the enemy!"

The old king felt warm and said, "I hope you, I, the king and the minister, will have the opportunity to kill the enemy side by side!"

After seeing Qiu Chen off, the old king's face turned gloomy and looked at the guard and said, "What's wrong?"

The guard gritted his teeth, knelt directly on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Bei Yi's death sentence! Just now, Bei Yi saw... seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, escaped from... the Queen's bedroom, in a panic..."

"What!" His Majesty the old king was furious, his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were about to pop out, his lips were trembling, and he pointed at the guard who was kneeling in front of him and said gritting his teeth: "You say it again...what happened?"

"A hour ago, I saw His Highness the Crown Prince and went to the Queen's bedroom, but I didn't take it seriously. After all, it was natural for His Highness to visit the Queen. In addition, the Queen had just given birth to the third prince, and His Highness should have gone to visit him without any worries, so he didn't have much thought. Who knew... His Highness the Crown Prince left an hour later. When he left, his clothes seemed a little untidy, and his expression was a little panicked, and he was still..."

"Stop talking!"

The old king was gasping for breath, his face was very pale, and suddenly felt a shock all over. He leaned on the chair, and his voice suddenly became extremely old and hoarse: "How many people have seen this?"

"That is, the girls around the Queen, and... and a few guards, including... Husband." The guard knelt on the ground, his body trembling. He knew very well what kind of ending he would end after he said it. However, as His Majesty the King's confidant, he would not hide anything from His Majesty the King.

After a long time, His Majesty the old king let out a long sigh, then stood up with unparalleled eyes and said, "Your eldest son will be hereditary baron. I will find a wealthy fief for him! Your family will always enjoy the preferential treatment of the empire! The empire will not fall for a day, and your family will be a noble one day!"

"Human job... Thank you Your Majesty!" The guard's voice was choked, a little sharp, with red eyes. He pulled out a sharp knife from his waist, and with a puff, he stabbed into his chest suddenly, and was immediately extinguished.

"This... beast!" The old king turned around and looked at the dead guard and squeezed out these extremely cold words from his teeth. Since the Queen took the Yanyan Pill, she has indeed shocked countless people from returning from an old woman to a beautiful woman like a miracle.

The Queen's youthful and beautiful appearance also made His Majesty the old king feel like he was in a second spring. He worked hard every day and actually gave birth to his third son with a bead!

Faced with this third prince, His Majesty the old king's favor for him was extremely unparalleled. After he was born, the third prince was named prince. It can be said that even if he did not inherit the throne in the future, the third prince's position in the Blue Moon Empire will be absolutely supreme!

Unexpectedly, the queen became young and beautiful, which actually attracted the snooping of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince.

But... but that's his biological mother! The old king felt his heart jumping out, his blood vessels jumping, and blue veins swelling on his forehead.

It took a long time to calm down. His Majesty the old king let out a long sigh, then stood up and asked someone to pull the suicide guard out to deal with it. He quietly ordered his confidant to secretly deal with all the palace maids and guards around the Queen within a few days.

After ordering these things, His Majesty the King stood up and said with a plain face: "I want to go to the Queen's Bedroom."

When His Majesty the King brought a group of people to the Queen's Bed Palace, he found that many palace maids looked at him with their eyes flashing, as if they were full of fear. The old king's body in the robe of the Blasting Lion King was trembling slightly, and he barely controlled his emotions.

After entering the Queen's bedroom, he saw the third prince in his cradle at first sight and saw his youngest son. His Majesty's face looked much better. He went over and teased him for a few times, and then said to the palace maid who served the Queen indifferently: "You go out."

The palace maid lowered her head and retreated. The King came to the front of the queen's collapse, looked at the young and gorgeous face of the queen lying in the quilt, sat next to her, holding the queen's hand and said, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Two lines of tears shed in the queen's eyes closed. The couple had been together for decades, and they knew each other too much, and they didn't even need to say anything. They could understand each other's feelings with one look. How could she not see the old king's strangeness?

"Your Majesty, you know that this is a trap, why... you still jump in?"

"You and my husband have been together for so many years, and they often regret that they live differently. If they can die together, there will be no regrets in their hearts." The old king had a calm smile on his face. As soon as he walked in, he realized that all this today was a scam, a scam against him!

Even his suicide confidant might have been bribed by the prince. The Empress was under house arrest long ago and there was no news at all!

"Your Majesty, my life is not important, but I don't understand why the boss is so cruel to kill his father and mother... he doesn't even let his own brother go, he is so young..." The queen's tears kept flowing.

At this time, I heard a lot of footsteps outside, and a few short screams came. The guards brought by His Majesty the King were killed in an instant!

His Royal Highness was wearing armor and surrounded the place with a large number of people in full arms. There was a person standing beside him, and it was the Ye Owl!

At this moment, the prince whispered to Ye Xiao: "All the people over there are in place?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the second highness is currently in the empty period. Our people have gained his trust. The time has come, and they will do it. Your Highness has no thoughts! However, we have not found that Li Tianluo, and that kid is not in the Imperial Academy now..."

"Forget it if you can't find it! Just a child, you can't make any storms!"

His Royal Highness had a faint smile on his face and reached out to pat Ye Xiao on the shoulder: "It's you, you have been working hard for so many years. Don't worry, as long as the big thing is done, you, as a great duke, cannot escape! Haha, then, don't be nostalgic about the status of the hidden family, and not care about this secular official position!"

Ye Xiao bowed with excitement and said, "Your Highness, you have always been your confidant. In the past, now, and in the future! There is no idea that can shake Huyi! Besides, instead of feeling inferior in that hidden family, it is better to enjoy happiness in this secular world!"

"Haha, that's good!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "Speaking of this, you went to Pengzes City a few days ago. Did Ling Xiao insist on not joining our camp?"
Chapter completed!
