Chapter 666: Storm Rising

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, a guard immediately crossed his spear and shouted, "Who is coming!"

"I am Chen Shu, and I come to see His Majesty." Su Chen smiled and said.

The guards' expressions changed slightly. They naturally knew that Su Chen was a hot celebrity in the imperial capital now, and immediately said, "Please wait for a moment, sir, we will go in and report to His Majesty immediately."

As he said, a guard turned and ran in.

About a quarter of an hour later, a sedan chair came out and the sedan bearer asked Su Chen to get on.

After Su Chen got on the sedan chair, the sedan chair immediately went all the way to the emperor's bedroom.

However, halfway through, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.

Then, the voice of Prince Rui was heard outside the sedan: "Who is in the sedan?"

The sedan bearer nervously replied: "Reporting to Prince Rui, it is... a guest of His Majesty the Emperor."

"My brother's guest?" Prince Rui's tone was a little playful, "Who is the guest? Can I meet him?"

"Uh, Your Majesty, His Majesty has specifically instructed that the person should be sent to the bedroom as soon as possible and not to stop on the road..."

The sedan bearer stuttered, causing Su Chen in the sedan to shake his head. The sedan bearer's reaction was enough to show how much prestige Prince Rui had accumulated in the palace.

However, Su Chen then thought that even if Prince Rui's prestige was great, the emperor would not have no useful guard commander around him, but let an ordinary sedan bearer show his weakness here.

The emperor did it on purpose, deliberately wanting Prince Rui to look down on him and let him relax his vigilance.

This also made Su Chen sigh in his heart. Emperor Yunyuan, as a hero-level figure, had to use such means to deal with Prince Rui, a fool. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yunyuan was exhausted, he wouldn't have done so.

And Prince Rui really lived up to expectations, and laughed triumphantly, with a hint of contempt in his tone, saying: "My brother is not going to meet any shameful guests, so you are not afraid of letting me know, right?"

At this time, Su Chen suddenly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and faced Prince Rui.

"Prince Rui, how are you?"

Su Chen said leisurely with a smile on his lips.

"Is it you?"

Prince Rui was stunned. After a long time, it turned out that the emperor's guest was this little brat?

Prince Rui couldn't help laughing. To be honest, if the emperor invited a strange old man or something like that, he might be a little timid, wary of whether it was an old Dan King, and whether he could extend the emperor's life for a few years.

However, the emperor actually invited Su Chen, a young boy, to the palace. What could Su Chen do?

There were so many experienced Dan Kings in the Yunyuan Empire, but they were helpless against the emperor's death. A boy under 20 years old would not be able to do anything.

Thinking of this, Prince Rui looked at Su Chen with contempt, and said arrogantly: "Boy, I remind you that you'd better not get involved in things that have nothing to do with you!"

"I don't know what Prince Rui is talking about. Please tell me clearly."

The smile on Su Chen's mouth did not fade, and he continued to speak leisurely.

Prince Rui snorted coldly, did not continue to speak, and left with his entourage.

The sedan continued on the road, and after a while, it finally arrived at the emperor's palace.

Boom!

The door of the palace opened, and Guan Qiyun walked out from inside. She was wearing a violet silk dress, and her figure was dreamy like smoke.

"Come in quickly."

Guan Qiyun showed a gorgeous smile and waved to Su Chen.

Su Chen walked up the steps and entered the palace gate with Guan Qiyun, and the guards behind him immediately closed the gate.

"About the ingredients you asked me to find..."

As soon as Guan Qiyun opened her mouth, Su Chen shook his head and said, "There is no need to find those ingredients anymore, because I have already refined the elixir."

"What? Refined?" Guan Qiyun showed a look of surprise and joy.

Su Chen nodded and said, "Take me to see His Majesty the Emperor."

Guan Qiyun immediately led Su Chen to a tea room.

Before reaching the door of the tea room, the figure of Emperor Yunyuan was seen from afar through the open door.

Emperor Yunyuan sat with his back to the door, looking as if he didn't know someone was visiting. But Su Chen knew that Emperor Yunyuan must know that he was coming, otherwise he would not have sent a sedan chair to pick him up, nor would he have arranged for Guan Qiyun to wait at the door of the palace.

Su Chen walked into the tea room, and as Su Chen's footsteps approached, Emperor Yunyuan finally couldn't help but slowly stood up and turned to Su Chen, with a slightly moved look on his face.

Although Emperor Yunyuan's expression was already pretending to be calm, his expectant eyes still betrayed his current mood.

Seeing this, Su Chen didn't keep it a secret. He knew that at this moment, the mood of this emperor must be extremely anxious.

So, Su Chen took out the space ring
