Chapter 1515 Life-Saving Straw

"...Yes, Rong Dao, you are very good. If I can successfully retrieve the holy fruit this time, I will mention you to His Majesty." The Empress said.

"I don't care about the credit, I just want to contribute to the Shenhai Dynasty!" Fang Yu said, "Excuse me, Empress, when can I set off?"

"I will come to you again tomorrow, and then I will open the gate to the ancient city for you." The Empress said, "Just wait for me here."

"Okay!" Fang Yu replied.

The Empress looked at Fang Yu deeply, and then the shadow began to flicker and gradually dissipated.

When the Empress's shadow completely dissipated, the pressure that belonged to her also disappeared.

"It seems that I have deceived the eyes of this Empress... Lin Batian's Xuanran Qi is really useful." Fang Yu stood up and thought to himself.

At this time, his eyes were a little stern.

The Empress gave him the feeling that she was hidden.

There was no abnormality in her eyes, breath, and tone of voice, and it was impossible to explore more.

As for the terrifying phantom behind the emperor and empress that Cang Yu mentioned, he couldn't even touch it.

Because the emperor and empress only descended as a phantom, not a real body.

However, Fang Yu's current focus is not on the emperor and empress.

Holy fruit, ancient city...

These two pieces of information are what he cares about most.

"Two holy fruits appeared at once, which means... only the last holy fruit has not appeared in the world." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and thought, "The question is... where is the ancient city?"

From the description of the emperor and empress, this ancient city should be similar to the existence of ancient ruins.

But the holy fruit has always appeared directly in various places in Yanxia before, why did it appear in such a place this time?

Also, the emperor and empress said that they would let someone else go to the holy fruit in the southwest mangrove.

This person is likely to be Cang Yu.

After all, the emperor and empress currently want to keep Cang Yu as the crown prince.

"I see... Let me go to a dangerous place, should I want me to die there? So as to eliminate a major competitor for Cang Yu?" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized.

…

In the deep sea, in the main territory of the Divine Sea Dynasty.

In a hall, the empress sat on a high seat, her eyes closed, motionless.

After a while, she opened her eyes.

"Empress, I have informed His Highness Cangyu of the details..." an old voice sounded.

"Okay." The empress replied.

"Empress, you let Rong Dao go to that ancient city, do you want to use the ancient creatures there... to wipe him out?" the old voice asked.

"Not only that, you have to follow him in." A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the empress, and she said, "There must be no competitors for the position of the crown prince. I want to be foolproof, so... you follow Rong Dao in. If he is lucky and is not killed by the creatures in the ancient city, then... you help me wipe him out."

"In short, Rong Dao must die in that ancient city."

"As for the holy fruit, you bring it out."

"...Empress, if you do this, His Majesty..." the old voice asked hesitantly.

"The reason why I let Rong Dao enter that ancient city is to avoid being discovered by His Majesty." The Empress said, "As long as he enters that place, His Majesty will not notice it."

"Understood." The old voice replied.

...

"My mother asked me to go to the mangroves in the southwest to get the holy fruit!" Cangyu said to Fang Yu through the soul seal with a little excitement.

"Your mother also came to see me." Fang Yu said lightly.

"What!?" Cangyu reacted even more, "You, how can you see her!? She didn't find out..."

"Since I can still chat with you like this, it means that she didn't find my disguise." Fang Yu said calmly.

"She, what does she want to do with you?" Cangyu asked.

"To put it simply, she came to see me for you." Fang Yu said.

"What do you mean?" Cangyu asked.

"Because I killed nine princes in a row, your mother thought I was a threat to the position of crown prince, so she wanted to send me to a dangerous place and let me die there." Fang Yu said, "My current identity is the prince of Rongdao, you should understand, right?"

"I understand..." Cangyu replied, "Then... do you want to go in?"

"Of course." Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as there is a holy fruit in it, I will go in regardless of whether your mother mentioned it or not."

"Then what should I do with the holy fruit I got in the southwest mangroves?" Cangyu asked again.

"The holy fruit is useless if there are not six of them, so... just give yours back to your mother directly." Fang Yu said, "As for the one I got in the ancient city... we'll talk about it later."

"I was thinking, what if I go to the mangroves... and can't get that holy fruit? There are many princes who will go there..." Cangyu said worriedly.

"... Your mother has done this, and you are still worried about such a small matter?" Fang Yu said a little speechlessly.

"How can I not be afraid? I don't have your strength! If I die, I will really die!" Cangyu was very excited.

"Don't worry, I think your mother is determined to make you the crown prince. Even if you want to commit suicide, she won't let you do it." Fang Yu said.

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Cangyu recalled what the emperor and empress had said to her before.

Indeed... considering how much the emperor and empress valued the crown prince position, he couldn't commit suicide even if he wanted to.

"You said... why does my mother want me to compete for the position of crown prince? My father is still at the peak of his powers. Even if I become the crown prince, I have to wait for an unknown amount of time before I can sit on the throne..." Cangyu said again.

"Don't you have the answer to this question yourself?" Fang Yu asked.

Cangyu's heart jumped suddenly.

He did think about it in that direction.

But as soon as this thought came up, he felt suffocated and didn't dare to think deeply at all!

"What your mother wants to do often happens in our human dynasty. What's the fuss?" Fang Yu said, "I think your Shenhai Dynasty was established by imitating our human dynasty, right?"

"I, I don't think my mother would do that. She..." Cangyu's heart beat violently and his brain was in chaos.

If the emperor and queen really want to replace the emperor, then he is an extremely critical chess piece.

The problem is that if the emperor and queen fail, he will die invincible. And after the emperor and queen succeed, he will lose his role as a chess piece and may be wiped out!

There is only one way to go!

Realizing this, he was sweating and panicking.

After all, what he cares about most is his life.

"Don't worry, since you are now deeply cooperating with me, I will naturally save your life." Fang Yu said lightly, "But the premise is... you must obey all my orders. If you don't obey... then you will die on your own."

"I, I know..." Cang Yu didn't have any other thoughts at this time? He could only hold on to the last straw!
