"What is the purpose of your visit to the palace today, Your Majesty the Marquis?"
the guard asked.
Su Chen didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose: "I'm here to see His Majesty the Emperor."
The guard bowed respectfully and invited Su Chen into the palace.
Arriving at the emperor's palace, after a brief announcement, he saw the emperor walking out of the inner room.
"You came."
The emperor casually greeted Su Chen.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Su Chen didn't waste any more words. He took out the token with the word "Yao" engraved on it from the space ring and handed it over.
The emperor took it and glanced at it, with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, the emperor asked: "Where did you get this token?"
"A few days ago, someone assassinated me, and I found this token from him." Su Chen said.
"Someone assassinated you?" The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of person?"
"An old man at the eighth level of the Lingtai Realm." Su Chen said.
The emperor was even more surprised when he heard this: "Ha! I still underestimated you. Even an eighth-level expert in the Lingtai realm would be defeated in your hands."
"Your Majesty misunderstood, it's not me this time." Su Chen said with a faint smile.
When the emperor heard this, he didn't ask any more questions and looked at the "Yao" token again.
After a moment, the emperor said thoughtfully: "Since you brought this token to see me, you must know about the Yao family among the eight ancient families in Dongzhou."
Su Chen nodded: "Yes, this token should represent the identity of the Yao family."
"Hmph." Emperor Yunyuan sneered, "I never thought the Yao family would dare to run wild in Yunyuan's territory!"
Su Chen said calmly: "Since the old man of the Yao family was able to enter the residence of the royal relatives, and during the whole process, the red-clothed guards in the surrounding areas were dispersed, it means that this old man has colluded with the royal family, and the most likely person among them is
That’s Prince Rui.”
"That's right." The emperor nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that Prince Rui would be so bold now that he would actually be connected with the Yao family."
Su Chen smiled and said nothing. The purpose of his coming here was to remind the emperor that Prince Rui might be colluding with people from the Yao family. Since the emperor already understood, there was no need for him to say more.
After all, the Yao family is an external force outside the empire, and it is still an external force that may have bad intentions. If Prince Rui really colludes with the Yao family, then the Yunyuan Empire will be in great danger.
The emperor fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said calmly: "Some time ago, a few flies came to my side. Prince Rui wanted to know if I had really recovered from health, or if I was just doing it to show him.
Therefore, he sent several groups of people one after another to explore my reality."
Su Chen chuckled: "Then I'm afraid he will be disappointed, because your body is really restored to health, and it is not a deliberately created illusion as he imagined."
The emperor also nodded, sneered slightly, and said: "I'm afraid he has lost his mind now. In addition, the old man of the Yao family who assassinated you has also been killed. Now he should be very anxious. I plan to let him go for a while.
Get rid of him when the time comes."
"Well, Prince Rui himself no longer poses a threat, but what you need to pay attention to is the Yao family." Su Chen reminded.
In the eyes of the emperor
With a flash of light, he said: "Yes, I was wondering a while ago why Prince Rui still had the confidence to jump around. It turns out that his confidence lies in the Yao family."
After saying that, the emperor looked at Su Chen again and said, "Since you have met the Yao family, I think it is necessary to tell you something about the current situation of the Yunyuan Empire."
"I would like to hear the details." Su Chen said.
The emperor then spoke: "As we all know, our royal family of the Yunyuan Empire is a branch of the Liu family among the eight ancient aristocratic families."
"But in fact, the Liu family doesn't pay much attention to our branch of the Yunyuan Empire. They have even been left alone for a long time and tend to let us fend for ourselves."
When Su Chen heard this, he understood that it turned out that the relationship between the Yunyuan royal family and the Liu family was not close.
This also explains why the Yunyuan Empire is obviously a branch of the Liu family, but its national power is weak. It can be said that it does not enjoy any of the benefits of being a branch of the eight ancient aristocratic families.
The emperor added: "So, even if the Yunyuan Empire encounters any crisis, or the Yao family wants to take any action against the Yunyuan Empire, there is a high possibility that the Liu family will ignore it."
"So, if the Yunyuan Empire is really in crisis, we can only rely on ourselves to save ourselves."
After hearing the emperor's words, Su Chen couldn't help but feel curious, and said, "Can the Liu family really ignore its own branches?"
The emperor nodded and said: "You don't understand the true relationship between the Yunyuan Empire royal family and the Liu family. Although the Yunyuan royal family is indeed from the Liu family, when you understand the ins and outs, you will know that the Liu family will turn a blind eye.
, not surprising at all.”
"I would like to hear the details." Su Chen said curiously.
The emperor closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then said: "In fact, the founding ancestor of the Yunyuan royal family was not only born in the Liu family, but he was also a direct descendant of the Liu family and the heir to the original head of the Liu family!"
"It's just that later on, he was deprived of the position of heir by his powerful younger brother, and his cultivation level plummeted and he was thrown into the barren land of Yunyuan Empire."
"This is why the Liu family has always been indifferent to the Yunyuan royal family."
"I see." Su Chen nodded. This was the first time he knew about the grudges between the Yunyuan royal family and the Liu family.
Emperor Yunyuan added: "As for the Yao family, their purpose should be to get rid of me and then support Prince Rui to take the throne. In this way, the Yunyuan Empire will change from a branch of the Liu family to a branch of the Yao family.
It’s an accessory.”
Su Chen finally understood. To put it bluntly, the current Yunyuan Empire is in a state of indifferent. The Liu family does not care about the Yunyuan Empire, while the Yao family is eyeing the Yunyuan Empire and wants to turn the Yunyuan Empire into meat in their bowl.
.
As a result, the Yunyuan Empire's current situation is as precarious as being on the edge of a cliff.
"Okay, you have done me a great favor by telling me about the Yao family. Now, I will have to worry about these things. You can go back first."
Emperor Yunyuan said.
Su Chen walked out of Emperor Yunyuan's palace, still thinking to himself.
The situation in the Yunyuan Empire suddenly became a bit tricky. Of course, Su Chen had no problem protecting himself.
However, the Yunyuan Empire is in some troubles and there is no guarantee.
If the Yunyuan Empire became a subsidiary of the Yao family, it would lose its sovereignty, which Su Chen did not want to see.
While thinking about it, Su Chen walked back to the Marquis' Mansion. "Why did the Marquis come to the palace today?"
the guard asked.
Su Chen didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose: "I'm here to see His Majesty the Emperor."
The guard bowed respectfully and invited Su Chen into the palace.
Arriving at the emperor's palace, after a brief announcement, he saw the emperor walking out of the inner room. .??.
