Xiao Rui'an was ice-cold all over, but his reason wouldn't allow him to make the slightest mistake.
For some reason, Chu Qianxue's image kept flashing in his mind. He shook his head and continued to follow Ye Lanyin.
"Ruian, are they trying to freeze us to death? How can the Dragon King survive if he's frozen here?"
Xiao Rui'an lowered his voice and said, "Shh, let's go see first."
"Um."
The group walked to the innermost part of the hall and finally saw an ice bed, on which lay a person dressed in a dragon robe.
"This is the Dragon King." The Dragon Queen glanced at the middle-aged man with his eyes closed on the ice bed.
The man appeared to be asleep, with a faint bloody gash visible on his neck.
"After the Dragon King was tricked into the forbidden area of the Dragon Tomb, he was injured by a hidden weapon. If he hadn't climbed out by his own willpower, he would probably have died in the Dragon Tomb." The Empress's eyes were filled with a faint sadness, as if she regretted it and blamed it.
“We tried everything, but in the end we could only leave him here to keep his dragon god calm. My grandfather said that only by finding my great-uncle could we save him.”
The Dragon Queen's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Ye Lanyin.
"Madam Ye, please save the Dragon King! The Dragon Clan cannot be without a king. For over a year, the Yan family has been eyeing the Dragon Clan's throne. If the Dragon King cannot awaken and Xing'er cannot inherit the throne, then our Ye family will likely..."
The Empress did not mention what would happen the year after next, but as for the outcome, she didn't need to say it; Ye Lanyin and the others probably already knew.
Xiao Wanwan reached out and flicked the Dragon King's hand, startling the Dragon Queen.
"No..."
"He's dying..." Xiao Wanwan's words plunged the Dragon Queen into deep sorrow once again.
I don't know if they can save the Dragon King. If they can't, what will she do?
Their maternal family will definitely be controlled by the Yan family.
Just then, Ye Jian walked forward and told the Dragon Queen the results of the examination of the life stone in the Holy Kingdom.
"Mother, this child is the chosen one of the true dragon blood."
The Dragon Queen's eyes flickered, and her palms trembled involuntarily.
Chosen One?
Her pupils shone with disbelief, "The...chosen one?"
"Mm." Ye Jianxing nodded.
The Dragon Queen panicked for a moment, but she managed to calm herself down and looked at Xiao Wanwan, who had only said half a word.
"Can you...save the Dragon King?"
Xiao Wanwan thought for a moment, "It should be possible."
Ye Jianyi behind him clenched his fist, his heart trembling, before finally relaxing it after a long while.
"If you can save the Dragon King, young lady, I will reward you handsomely." The Empress was delighted.
Saving the Dragon King is the priority. Once the Dragon King wakes up, we can directly pass the throne to Xing'er.
As for this little girl, she is both a woman and a child; how could she possibly shoulder such a great responsibility?
Xiao Wanwan nodded calmly, then placed her hand in front of the Dragon Queen's eyes, "Then bring me a basin."
"What do you need a basin for?" the Dragon Queen asked, somewhat surprised.
"Save the Dragon King!"
[You asked me to save you, but you won't listen to me?]
Then, Xiao Wanwan pointed at Yao Qianshu and said, "Brother Qianshu, come and help me."
Ye Lanyin stood to the side, worriedly saying, "Wanwan, if she can't..."
"Yes, Wanwan, if we can't save her, Father will find a way."
Ye Jianyi walked around from behind them, glanced at the Empress, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that your father is still alive? If you recklessly save people and your father dies as a result, even nine heads won't be enough for you?"
Ye Lanyin looked displeased after hearing this. She was the one who sent them, and now he was the one stopping Wanwan from saving people.
What exactly does "dragon race" mean?
Could it be that they deliberately used the excuse that the Dragon King had something to do to bring them here?
"Young Master Ye, you are the ones who sent us here. Now that Wanwan is trying to save someone, you are questioning her. What are your true intentions?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Queen glared at Ye Jianyi, signaling him to shut up.
Ye Jianyi gritted his teeth.
"Someone, go and get a brazier."
Upon hearing this, the palace servant hurried out and quickly returned.
Looking at the basin, which was bigger than her face, Xiao Wanwan was extremely satisfied. She clapped her hands, turned around and said to everyone, "You all go out."
"Get out?" The Dragon Queen raised her voice several decibels, her tone becoming somewhat shrill.
Even the Regent and General Yao were somewhat stunned.
So, I came here just to overhear their conversation.
"It's just me and Brother Qian Shu here, you can leave now."
"If you don't get out, I won't save you. I'll let you in later."
The Dragon Queen was skeptical. Looking at the two children, who were not even as tall as herself, she simply couldn't believe it.
"Perhaps I shall stay, and the rest of you shall leave?"
Xiao Wanwan's face immediately fell.
How can I handle important matters if you don't leave?
【What if you think this method is detrimental to the Dragon King? Wouldn't you kill me?】
Upon hearing the last sentence, Ye Lanyin turned pale with fright. She immediately said, "In that case, Wanwan's mother will wait for you outside. Call out when you are ready."
"Okay, Mother." Xiao Wanwan smiled gently at Ye Lanyin.
My mother understands me best.
Upon hearing this, the Regent Prince retorted, not to be outdone, "Let's go, let's go out."
Seeing them all leave one after another, Ye Jianxing could only persuade the Dragon Queen, after all, he had witnessed Wanwan's abilities.
As for how he was saved? Surely he wouldn't have made his father eat shit, would he?
He smiled and shook his head, "Mother, let's go out. I trust her."
After hearing her son's words, the Empress had no choice but to agree. Before leaving, she glanced at Xiao Wanwan and instructed, "Hurry up."
