Douluo's Black Tower

Chapter 57 57. The dying Xue Qinghe
Tiandou City, the secret room deep in the palace.

Emperor Xueye looked intently at the prince lying on the hospital bed with a sad expression on his face.

The eyes are hesitant, entangled, struggling...

Suddenly, an old figure flashed out of the dark shadows and bowed.

"His Majesty…"

Emperor Xueye mocked himself with a bitter look on his face.

"It's really ironic. The majestic leader of a country can't even protect his own son!"

Powerless, deeply powerless.

I... am getting old after all!
After hearing this, the old man acted as if he had not heard anything. There was no expression on his face and he remained silent.

"Why am I telling you this?"

Emperor Xueye didn't think it was strange and asked.

"How...did they react?"

The old man was like a piece of wood and calmly narrated.

"They were talking about assassins..."

Emperor Xue Ye didn't want to hear this, waved his hand to interrupt him, and asked in more detail.

"Did they... laugh?"

"Laughed!"

The old man's words were without any emotion, but they gave Emperor Xue Ye a heavy blow.

The prince was stabbed and dying of poison.

Not only were they not sad, they were laughing.

This is the "family affection" of the royal family. How ironic!

Emperor Xue Ye felt very uncomfortable.

After a moment, he calmed down and asked.

"Is this assassination... related to them?"

"There's no evidence!"

The old man's words were concise and concise, making Emperor Xueye not sure whether he should be sad or happy.

"This is the royal family!!"

Shaking his head lonely, he looked at the prince who was hanging on the bed and took a deep breath.

"Continue to monitor...protect them."

"Yes."

At this moment, Emperor Xueye finally made up his mind.

"Also, prepare for the ceremony!"

When he heard the word "ritual", the old man who had always been like a robot and had no emotions finally had a different reaction. He shouted anxiously to stop it.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Emperor Xueye felt his weak body and the fatigue that penetrated into his soul, and his imperial aura exploded.

"Nothing is wrong, this is an order!"

"…Yes!"

Under the emperor's majesty, no one dares to disobey!

Emperor Xue Ye gently stroked a strand of his son's white hair and murmured to himself.

"Last time...I failed to save you. This time, I will not give up on you again, Qinghe!"

Emperor Xueye turned around and strode away.

In the empty secret room, only Xue Qinghe was left, alone and motionless.

Suddenly, there was a "swish" sound, and a generous figure appeared in front of his bed...

Imperial Palace, Imperial Prince's Courtyard.

Xue Beng couldn't hide the joy in his brows, he was finally... about to be freed!
In fact, among the brothers, he was the first to realize that something was wrong with Xue Qinghe.

Although the fake second brother plays a very similar role, the details are not much different.

However, who said that children recognize people and things with their eyes? The sense of mystery and mystery... is the standard for children to recognize people.

Ever since he vaguely realized that something was wrong, Xue Beng has completely kept a low profile, and under the guidance of Uncle Xuexing Wang: he is a clumsy, playboy, uneducated and incompetent, just eating and waiting to die...

In short, in the eyes of his three brothers, he was no threat.

Until...he accidentally let his eldest brother and third brother hear it.

Then, the conflict between the three brothers, who had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, completely broke out.

This conflict intensified, and on the eve of the upcoming battle, an assassination occurred...

Both brothers were poisoned and died at the same time.For this reason, Xue Beng firmly believed that... it was the poison under the fake Xue Qinghe River.

For this, he felt "guilty" for a long time.

But now, fake Xue Qinghe has also been poisoned, and things have become confusing again.

"Uncle Wang, do you think this assassination was...directed and acted by him?"

Facing his closest nephew, Prince Snow Star took off his disguise and chuckled.

"It can't be a disguise. He is now... hovering on the edge of death and may die of poison at any time."

"Besides, he is already a prince, so there is no need to take such a big risk!"

"Uncle Wang said so."

Prince Snow Star looked at his nephew who was about to float and educated him seriously.

"Be careful and don't let outsiders see you!"

Xue Beng was too happy and said nonchalantly.

"Uncle Wang is not an outsider!"

Hearing this, Prince Snow Star was also extremely happy, but still warned.

"Beng'er, you still have to pay attention. This assassination shows that there is a force targeting the royal family. Therefore, it is very unsafe outside the palace. Next, you should not leave the palace."

Xue Beng pursed his lips, lowered his head, and spoke in a low voice.

"I see, Uncle Wang!"

Seeing his reluctance, Prince Snow Star smiled and comforted him.

"You have been here for so many years. If you persist for a while, Brother Huang will send experts to protect you in the future. Then you don't have to worry."

"I'm going back home, please pay more attention to yourself."

Xue Beng nodded obediently and agreed.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry!"

"Also, you have to remember that this is a special period. It is better to say less and do less than to make mistakes! Also, the palace is not absolutely safe!"

"I see, Uncle Wang."

Xue Beng looked solemn, obviously listening.

Prince Snow Star's eyes showed satisfaction, he turned around and strode outside the palace.

Today... the sun is shining!
...

"So, the prince is still...dying!"

Ning Rongrong looked in disbelief.

That was the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, the successor of the emperor.

It hasn't even been half a year yet. After the two princes were poisoned, will the prince also be poisoned?

Did the Heaven Dou Empire...offend the God of Plague?
Ning Fengzhi said with a sigh and regret.

"Yes, Qinghe has been poisoned to the bone. He will die soon. It's all thanks to my little friend's Jade Emperor honey. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago."

Zhou Ting was @@, but he didn't want to speak.

There is no way, an old fox like Ning Fengzhi has eight hundred tricks in his body.

I accidentally fell into his rhythm and was led by the nose.

In order not to be a bully, Zhou Ting decided... Silence is golden!
Moreover, Xue Qinghe cannot die!

If others don't know, how can Zhou Ting not know?

According to the information from Ning Fengzhi, the poison was the same as last time.

The last time the prince was poisoned, wasn't Qian Renxue eradicating his rival?

This poison came from Wuhun Palace, so this assassination must have been the work of Wuhun Palace.

And how could Wuhun Palace poison its young master?

You know, the person pretending to be Xue Qinghe is the daughter of the current Pope Bibi Dong and the previous Pope Qian Xunji...Qian Renxue.

She is also the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, the great enshrinement of Wuhun Palace, a level 99 ultimate Douluo, and known as the invincible in the sky.

In short, even if no one saves her, she will not die.

However, what Zhou Ting couldn't understand was why Wuhun Palace would do such a thing.

If the poison is not detoxified, Xue Qinghe's identity will be dead.

If someone is sent to detoxify Xue Qinghe, not only will he not be able to prove his innocence, but he will become more solidly suspected of poisoning the prince.

After all, last time, both princes were poisoned to death, why are you the only one okay?

"What is the purpose of Wuhun Palace doing this?"

This is really a puzzling question.
