Chapter 148: Inside the Prince's Mansion!
Tiandou Imperial City, Prince's Mansion!
After Qian Renxue came back, the stand-in disappeared again, waiting for the next call, dressed up as Xue Qinghe and sitting alone in the study of the Prince's Mansion, holding a pen in her hand, reviewing documents.
Qian Renxue went out to hunt souls this time and was away for two months. With the decentralization of Emperor Xue Ye, there were too many government affairs that needed her review. She learned about the situation of the Spirit Hall from Sarath. Qian Daoliu was not injured, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. She did not go back to the Spirit Hall to visit him, but planned to speed up the plan. She wanted to go back to the Spirit Hall as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the Spirit Hall would be completely controlled by Bibi Dong, and it was not certain who the Spirit Hall would pass on to.
Qian Renxue had started to make changes to Emperor Xue Ye long before the Soul Master Competition began. Now it was almost time to reap the rewards. After a while, when Emperor Xue Ye died, she could safely take over the power of the Tiandou Empire and ascend the throne as the emperor!
It would be effortless for the Spirit Hall to control the huge Tiandou Empire. Then they could attack the Xingluo Empire and unify the continent!
Suddenly, a figure flashed, and an old man appeared in front of Qian Renxue, with nine spirit rings pulsating around him, looking warily at the dark corner in the distance.
Seeing the old man's battle, Qian Renxue's face instantly became serious, "Who's there?"
The old man was Snake Spear Douluo, one of the two Titled Douluos who had been guarding Qian Renxue! Since the trip to the Xingdou Great Forest, they lost Qian Renxue and were punished by the Great Priest. Fortunately, Qian Renxue was lucky and came back safely.
Qian Renxue didn't let Qian Daoliu continue to ask for punishment because the two had been guarding her for many years. He and the Thorny Pig continued to serve as Qian Renxue's guards, but because of their previous dereliction of duty, they had reached the top level of paying attention to any disturbance around Qian Renxue in the past few days.
Just when Qian Renxue, Shemao and the thorny porpoise in the dark were secretly on guard, Dugu Chen walked out from the corner awkwardly.
"I said I took the wrong road, do you believe me?"
Seeing the person coming, Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, "Elder Shemao, it's okay, he knows my identity!"
Hearing this, Shemao looked at Dugu Chen with strange eyes, secretly frightened, and then disappeared into the shadows.
Feeling the two auras disappearing from his body, Dugu Chen's tense body relaxed.
He came to the Prince's Mansion tonight, and everything was fine, but he was caught red-handed as soon as he arrived. Of course, Dugu Chen had an inherent impression of this and was not on guard against the Prince's Mansion, but it also showed that he was not suitable for lurking and assassination.
"Master Dugu, you broke into my house in the middle of the night. If you don't give me a reason, don't blame me for asking someone to arrest you!"
Seeing Qian Renxue acting like a drama queen, Dugu Chen's face froze and he said, "As the future Grand Marshal of the Empire, I heard that someone wants to harm His Highness, so I came to protect Him!"
"Oh, I only saw you sneaking around. No one wants to harm me? Is Marshal Dugu crying thief?"
"This is absolutely true. Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, wants to harm His Highness, so I came to 'closely' protect His Highness's safety."
Looking at Dugu Chen's solemn face, Qian Renxue always felt that the other party's serious words suddenly became not serious.
"Rogue——" Qian Renxue reacted very quickly, and with Dugu Chen's teasing eyes, she immediately understood what he said and said angrily.
Dugu Chen casually took the memorial thrown by Qian Renxue, smiled, then came to the prince's throne and sat down next to Qian Renxue.
"You are not comfortable as the crown prince, are you? You don't have a beautiful wife or concubines, and silk and satin are even more of a luxury. You are not as comfortable as Xue Avalanche!" Dugu Chen flipped through several memorials casually. He was either short of money here or there was rebellion there. He felt a headache and complained to Qian Renxue.
"It will be fine after this period is over!" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Dugu Chen, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. This day after day of reviewing memorials is finally coming to an end. She can finally practice with peace of mind.
Dugu Chen looked at Qian Renxue with a man's face, rolling her eyes at him, and felt a chill in his heart.
"Xue'er, can you restore your original appearance? I feel uncomfortable seeing you as Xue Qinghe now."
"Hehe——" Hearing this, Qian Renxue sneered, the voice was crisp, but with that man's face, the weird feeling was even stronger!
As a golden light flashed on Qian Renxue's head, it seemed as if a mask had been removed. In an instant, the originally elegant Xue Qinghe became the peerless beauty Qian Renxue!
Dugu Chen looked at Qian Renxue carefully from a close distance. She had beautiful long golden hair, flawless snow-white skin, a high nose bridge, and two slender willow-leaf eyebrows, which added a heroic spirit, and the sacred aura of being high above added a bit of temptation!
Although Qian Renxue's appearance was not among the top beauties he had seen, this feeling of being high above and this strong desire to conquer were the strongest among all the beauties Dugu Chen had faced.
"Is she beautiful?" Qian Renxue asked with a smile as she looked at Dugu Chen looking at her.
"Beautiful! The most beautiful woman in the world!" Dugu Chen exclaimed.
"Is she really that beautiful? How does she compare to Dugu Yan?" Qian Renxue smiled and asked with narrowed eyes.
Dugu Chen's face froze, and his back felt cold. This question was not easy to answer.
"Each has its merits, each has its merits!"
Listening to Dugu Chen's words, Qian Renxue pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Recently, Xue Beng and Xue Xing seem to have colluded with the remnants of Haotian Sect!"
At this time, Dugu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "Haotian Sect? Shouldn't they find a place to hide, and dare to interfere in the drama of seizing the throne? Don't they know that Babao Liuli Sect stands with you? Doing so is tantamount to being an enemy of Babao Liuli Sect."
Qian Renxue shook her head and guessed: "Now there are only a few big cats left in Haotian Sect. Whether they want to rebuild the sect or seek revenge from Wuhun Hall, joining the two empires is the safest way!"
"It seems that Haotian Sect chose Tiandou Empire! And chose Xue Beng! They didn't choose you who have more advantages, which surprised me!" Dugu Chen asked in confusion.
"Nothing, maybe they think that investing in Xue Beng will reap greater benefits!" Qian Renxue was vague.
In fact, after the Soul Master Competition, Qian Renxue started to deal with Yuexuan, also known as Tang Yuehua. Later, the other party joined forces with several nobles and was stopped by Emperor Xue Ye. The two sides reached a settlement on the surface.
Under such circumstances, it was strange that Haotian Sect selected the Prince's Mansion.
Dugu Chen didn't know about these things, and Qian Renxue didn't intend to tell him. In Qian Renxue's view, this was just a harmless little thing. The most important thing was that she didn't accomplish this little thing.
She didn't want to save face!
