363. Chapter 364. Xue Qinghe Lost His Composure

(two more)

Heaven Dou City.

As the economic, political, and cultural center of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, Tian Dou City covers an area of ​​5,000 square kilometers, and its permanent population is as high as 20 million. If the floating population is added, it will exceed 3,000. With a population of 10,000, this is a huge city and an incredible place in the Douluo Continent, where productivity is not well developed.

The transportation of Tiandou City extends in all directions, and the four vertical and horizontal main roads divide the entire Tiandou City into several large areas, which are commercial area, civilian area, aristocratic area, residential area, college area, administrative area, and the most important and core palace. Area.

The imperial palace alone occupies the most prosperous and expensive part of the entire Tiandou City. Even in the middle of the night, it is still brightly lit, and the imperial guards work in four shifts 24 hours a day, patrolling the surroundings day and night, Don't let go of any trouble.

Since Yang Ming sneaked into the palace last time, the vigilance here has obviously increased several levels.

After all, the last time Yang Ming came, he not only hypnotized Prince Xue Xing to become his own, but also stole a lot of valuable things.

For nobles, the world is not as big as face.

And as the nobles among the nobles, the royal family is even more face-saving. The thief who entered the palace has not been caught until now, so naturally he will not talk about it.

In desperation, the suspicious Emperor Xue Ye had no choice but to severely punish the leader of the Imperial Guard at that time, and ruthlessly screened and checked the Imperial Guard system, kicking suspicious elements out of the Imperial Guard.

For Xue Qinghe and the Wuhun Palace behind her, this can be described as a disaster without reason.

You must know that Wuhundian has invested an astronomical amount of manpower and material resources over the years in order to cultivate its own people in the Imperial Guard. After being set up by Emperor Xue Ye, many years of hard work were directly wasted, except for a few people who were deeply hidden. Except for the Wuhundian people who were not found out, the rest were either killed or kicked out of the imperial guards. The loss was not insignificant.

In the imperial palace, which belongs to the prince's bedroom, the lights are still not turned off at this time.

I don't know why, ever since he ordered Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo to destroy Feng Xiaotian's body, Xue Qinghe has been restless, always feeling that something big is about to happen.

However, at the very beginning, Xue Qinghe didn't think that things would be bad at all.

From Xue Qinghe's point of view, there are only two titled Douluo in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a Sword Douluo Chenxin guarding Yang Ming's side day and night, and only one Bone Douluo, Gu Rong, is left. The Porcupine Fish Douluo's team is no match for the two of them at all.

What's more, Xue Qinghe knew very well that Ning Fengzhi was a man who knew how to advance and retreat.

When Wuhundian played the two cards of Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, Ning Fengzhi should know that Wuhundian would not give up until it achieved its goal. With Ning Fengzhi as a person, he should not choose to fight to the end, and Wuhundian should have turned its face completely.

In this way, Xue Qinghe's plan to destroy Feng Xiaotian's body can proceed smoothly.

Xue Qinghe just blamed the uneasiness in his heart on the fact that Emperor Xue Ye has become more and more wary of her recently.

Originally, before the death of the fourth prince Xue Beng, Emperor Xue Ye trusted the prince Xue Qinghe very much, and gradually delegated power to her, even part of the imperial guards belonged to her management.

But since the fourth prince Xue Beng passed away, and was insisted by the damn Tiandou Royal Academy teacher that she and Wuhundian killed Xue Beng, Emperor Xue Ye became suspicious and kept taking back power from her.

That's fine.

After all, Emperor Xue Ye only had one son left, the crown prince. Even if he took back the power now, after he died, wouldn't he have to give the power to her?

But what made Xue Qinghe angry was that Prince Xue Xing, who had been acting as a mascot all this time, had gone crazy for some reason, and unexpectedly stepped in, diverting part of the power that originally belonged to Xue Qinghe.

More importantly, Emperor Xue Ye acquiesced in all this happening!

It seems that Emperor Xue Ye intends to pass on the throne to his younger brother, Prince Xue Xing!

This is not impossible!

Although the heir to the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire is usually the crown prince, but over the years of the Heaven Dou Empire, there have been precedents where the emperor has no descendants and can only pass the throne to his younger brother.

Xue Qinghe paced back and forth in the room, frowning tightly into the shape of a river, thinking to himself:

"If my father is allowed to continue to deprive me of my power, then I may eventually lead to a complete failure of the mission. This is not acceptable. I have to find a way to promote the implementation of the plan in advance."

Just as Xue Qinghe was thinking about the complicated court power struggle, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

This knock on the door is very particular, one short and two long, this is a secret signal set by Xue Qinghe to his cronies, and it will only be delivered in this way when important matters are announced.

After all, the palace is not so safe, in order to prevent the walls from having ears, it is always a good thing to be careful.

"Enter."

With Xue Qinghe's consent, the door opened, and a man dressed in the uniform of the imperial guards, who was actually one of his own people who had been inserted in by the Wuhun Palace earlier in the morning, touched the ground with his knees, supported the ground with his fists, half-kneeled on the ground, hanging down The head wrapped in the silver helmet whispered at an extremely fast speed:

"Reporting to the prince, the city guards near the morgue had abnormal movements. The subordinates sent people to find out the situation. There were strong signs of fighting in the surrounding area, and they found the dead bodies of Snake Lance Douluo and Porpoise Douluo. Corpse."

Even Xue Qinghe, who always claimed to be smart and able to deal with various complicated affairs indifferently, couldn't help being startled when he suddenly heard such sad news.

Although Wuhundian had many titled Douluo, it lost two titled Douluo at once. As the main person in charge, Xue Qinghe must also be blamed by other Wuhundian elders.

"No, it's impossible."

Xue Qinghe felt a little unbelievable, just with Bone Douluo Gu Rong, even with Ning Fengzhi's support bonus, he was definitely not a match for the two of them working together.

Xue Qinghe stared closely at this subordinate, with suppressed anger surging from his body, he said:

"Have you found out exactly who killed the two Douluo?"

The imperial guard buried his head lower, and said in a low voice:

"The subordinate is incompetent."

"Forget it." Seeing that there was no reason to ask, Xue Qinghe sat down on the chair decadently, waved his hands, and said, "Go down."

"Yes!"

The imperial guard glanced at Xue Qinghe cautiously, seeing that she did not blame him, he immediately left the room.

After a while, he heard the sound of breaking a vase and a burst of suppressed hysterical abuse from the room.
