"Um?"
Bai Yanyan looked at him in confusion.
The prince no longer looked as frail as he did when we first met. Although he was still thin, his eyes were brighter and more confident than before. He also no longer had that indifferent look as before, not caring about life or death, not caring about living...
At this moment, he was wearing a dragon robe, which was specially made for him. It fit him very well and made him look tall. His black hair was neatly crowned, but he had no time to put on anything else.
That face was even more serious.
"I…"
But after saying one word, he fell silent again, and the serious expression on his face deepened. Bai Yanyan suddenly became nervous and took a step back. "You don't want the Tianxuan Fruit, do you?"
"You gave it all to me, you can't take it back."
She planted the Tianxuan Fruit on the Divine Island. It has grown very well during this period and even bloomed and bore fruit!
Seeing the nervous look on the girl's face, Xuanyuan Ye's frown suddenly relaxed, and he chuckled softly, "Since I've given it to you, I naturally won't take it back."
"That's good."
Bai Yanyan patted her chest and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"
"I…"
"I want to ask you, if I ascend to the throne, can we still be friends?"
"what's on your mind?"
Bai Yanyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Forget about you ascending to the throne. Even if you didn't, we'd still be friends. I wouldn't look down on you just because of your status. Of course..."
Don't expect me to respect you after you become the emperor. I won't change my attitude."
"Um."
Xuanyuan Ye smiled and said, "That's good."
"Prince, the auspicious time is approaching. Please hurry and prepare."
The guard behind him urged, Xuanyuan Ye looked at Bai Yanyan deeply, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and then said: "Then I will go and get busy first."
"Go!"
Bai Yanyan encouraged him and then left.
Xuanyuan Ye watched her figure disappear completely from his sight, then he withdrew his gaze and turned back to the palace. However, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes were lowered with a hint of sadness.
"Prince..."
"I'm fine."
Xuanyuan Ye interrupted the guard, "Wei He, I'm fine."
The guard sighed slightly.
He has been with the prince since he was a child and has been taking care of him until now. He knows more or less what the prince is thinking. He also knows that the prince likes Miss Bai, and he knows more about the prince's thoughts.
During these two days, he saw that the prince was even sad and entangled. Then the prince finally made a decision and wanted to tell Miss Bai his feelings, but he didn't expect that he didn't say it just now.
"Now this kind of relationship is enough."
The way Miss Bai looked at him seemed calm and ordinary, no different from that of an ordinary person, but she said that she was his friend. If he had really said those words just now, he was afraid that the two of them would not even be friends.
"It's enough if she treats me as a friend. That way, I can still watch her for the rest of my life."
——
The coronation ceremony was grand and spectacular.
However, some princes and ministers in the court had some opinions.
Although the crown prince had been decided long ago, he had been deposed before, so he was just a waste. Even if he was not a waste, what happened on New Year's Eve was too coincidental.
Prince Ding, who had been bedridden, suddenly led his troops to attack the palace at night, killing Emperor Yongding, seriously injuring Princess Yongning, the crown prince... and several princes also died.
Although the prince's injury was cured by the Hua family's superb medical skills, Princess Yongning died, and even Princess Nanyue was missing.
Except for the crown prince, almost no one in Chongming Palace was alive.
No one knows whether Emperor Yongding was killed by Prince Ding!
Moreover, the prince was unable to completely win the support of the people after he ascended the throne.
Many ministers in the court had different thoughts, until--
"Bai Yanyan from the Bai family came to offer congratulations."
"Situ Yan, the head of the Situ family, comes to offer congratulations."
"The second young master of the Hua family came to offer his congratulations."
"Master Liu of Baihua Villa has come to offer his congratulations."
The three great families and Baihua Villa have all come?! To support the Crown Prince?
The ministers were somewhat surprised, but even so, they still had some strange ideas in their minds until they heard the eunuch continue to report:
"Master Cangshu of Wuyou Villa has come to congratulate the new emperor."
Atractylodes Alchemist!!
He actually came!
Even if Emperor Yongding were still alive, he might not come to Emperor Yongding's invitation!
Moreover, a few days ago, when it was learned that something happened in the palace, someone went to invite the alchemist Cangshu, but the alchemist refused to come on the grounds that he was busy refining the elixir. Unexpectedly, he came on his own initiative now.
"Gu Qingyu, the Young Master of Medicine King Valley, has come to congratulate the new emperor."
Medicine King Valley…! Young Sect Master!!!
The Qingyou Nation couldn't even concede to the Medicine King Valley, let alone the Young Master of the Medicine King Valley coming in person to congratulate them!!!
Even when Emperor Yongding was alive, they had never seen such a large formation.
A group of ministers felt their legs go weak and they all wanted to kneel on the ground.
It would be a great thing for Qingyou Nation to be able to establish a relationship with Yaowang Valley! Even Qingyou Nation would rise with the tide. Soon, Qingyou Nation's status would be second only to the two empires!
Not only the ministers were surprised, but Xuanyuan Ye was also a little surprised.
He looked at Bai Yanyan in surprise, and when he saw the girl giving him a thumbs up, his mood suddenly became complicated.
This should be the arrangement she mentioned.
It is indeed a prestigious position. With so many people backing him up, even if his ministers have ulterior motives, they dare not act rashly. And this period of time is enough for him to secure the throne.
Naturally, the ministers did not dare to say anything, and were even a little happy.
"Thank you all for coming..."
"That's ridiculous!"
An angry voice interrupted Xuanyuan Ye's words, and then a gray-robed old man appeared in front of the hall. He walked towards Xuanyuan Ye and said angrily: "I am the Mu Zun of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, and I have protected the emperor for generations.
Emperor Yongding is the true dragon emperor, how could he be assassinated by a mere Prince Ding? "
Others don’t know, but Venerable Mu knows the true strength of Emperor Yongding.
He is in the late seventh stage!
There is no one as strong as this one in the Qingyou Kingdom who is in the late seventh stage. Let alone one Prince Ding, even if there are ten or a hundred of them, they cannot kill Emperor Yongding!
It's a pity that he was injured by the mysterious Venerable before, and has been in seclusion for cultivation during this period. When he finally came out of seclusion, he heard that Emperor Yongding was murdered by Prince Ding, and the prince was about to ascend the throne. It was ridiculous!
"You must have done something!"
Venerable Mu glared at Chong Chong, thinking of getting rid of the prince right away.
The guards behind Xuanyuan Ye immediately stepped forward.
But Master Mu’s cultivation level was at the sixth level, and they were no match for him at all.
Seeing that Master Mu was approaching Xuanyuan Ye, Bai Yanyan quickly took action, holding a long sword and blocking Xuanyuan Ye, blocking Master Mu's attack.
“It’s you…?!”
