"Your Highness, Prince Xue Xing has entered the palace overnight and is kneeling outside the royal study room to beg to see His Majesty. He claims that Spirit Hall Holy Son is arrogant, conniving at Poison Douluo to destroy the prince's order in public, and arbitrarily interfering in the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's internal affairs."
The deep voice of the old man in gray came through the door.
Xue Qinghe The hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, then placed it on the table.
"Did Father summon him?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting in the side hall."
"Keep watching. If there is any sign of trouble, report it immediately."
"Yes." The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.
Xue Qinghe turned his head and looked at Qian Renyuan solemnly. "Xue Xing This old fox rushed to the palace before dawn just to settle this matter first. Cheng Spirit Hall intervenes in Heaven Dou's internal affairs. Once Father listens to his rhetoric, I'm afraid it won't be that easy if you want to enter Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."
"It's just a prince's warrant, but he is very good at putting gold on his face."
Qian Renyuan played with the tea cup in his hand, slowly circling the rim of the cup with his slender fingers, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Actually, Dugu Bo's public separation from him is what he is really afraid of. If Poison Douluo cannot be charged with betraying the royal family as soon as possible, tomorrow the nobles in Heaven Dou City will know that his biggest backer in recent years is gone."
Xue Qinghe heard this and tapped his fingertips on the table thoughtfully. "The analysis is very thorough, but he has entered the palace first after all."
"Then let him sue."
Qian Renyuan put the tea cup back on the table, and his eyes fell on the prince's seal on the side of the desk, which symbolized the power of the prince.
"Since he wants me to trespass on the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, then His Highness, why don't you give me an honest reason."
Xue Qinghe followed his gaze, his eyes moved slightly, and he quickly took out a blank document with the stamp of Crown Prince's Residence from under the case.
"In what name are you going to go in?"
"Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Backlash has been cured. Since Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the highest institution where the empire spends a lot of money to train young Soul Master, it must... not refuse a unique method that can completely solve Martial Soul's congenital defects, right?"
Qian Renyuan leaned back lazily on the back of the Taishi chair, crossed his fingers, and said calmly, "You can formally invite Spirit Hall Holy Son to the academy in the name of the empire., exchange the poisonous attribute Martial Soul's cultivation hidden dangers and treatment methods. If Xue Xing dares to continue to block it, then he will cut off the future and hope of countless young Soul Master in the empire."
Xue Qinghe's hand stopped in mid-air, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This conspiracy is simply impeccable.
But she did not write immediately, "You... really would give that kind of treatment to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"
"I only said that we could communicate, but I didn't say that I would give them free things."
Qian Renyuan laughed in a low voice, with an unabashed capitalist look in his smile. "If you want to get benefits from me, you must first come up with chips that can impress me."
Xue Qinghe Looking at the determined smile on his face, he finally stopped hesitating and quickly wrote down the content of the invitation.
The tip of the pen crossed the paper and finally landed on the words Xue Qinghe. Then she picked up the prince's seal and pressed it hard on the end of the document.
"Tomorrow morning, this invitation will be sent to Dugu Bo's manor, and another copy will be sent directly to the desks of the three education committee members Heaven Dou Imperial Academy." Xue Qinghe put the documents aside to dry, then stood up and began to tidy up the cuffs of his regular clothes.
"However, since Xue Xing has already staged a painful plot in front of his father, someone still needs to enter the palace to finish him off."
"Are you ready to go now?" Qian Renyuan raised his eyes.
"Uncle Wang filed a complaint all night long. If I, the crown prince, hide in the palace and wait until dawn to show up, wouldn't I have given him an advantage in vain?"
Xue Qinghe straightened his clothes and his eyes became sharp, "Father has been playing a balancing act between the prince's party and Xue Xing over the years. As long as I can prove to father that your entry into the academy will be of complete benefit to the Heaven Dou Empire, he will never take the risk of completely falling out with the Spirit Hall for a so-called prince's warrant."
Qian Renyuan also stood up from the chair and brushed off the non-existent dust from his clothes. "Then I will go back to the manor and wait for the invitation from His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xue Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of probing in his tone. "Aren't you worried that I went to the palace and messed up the matter?"
"If you can't even deal with a prince who only knows the power of a fox and a tiger..." Qian Renyuan passed her, paused slightly, and whispered in a joking tone that only two people could understand, "Then you might as well pack up and go back to Spirit City. Just in time, you can still watch those Immortal Herb plants in the back garden for me."
"You--" Xue Qinghe looked at his arrogant back, her teeth itching with anger. She clenched her fists tightly, took several deep breaths, and then resisted the urge to smash the tea set on the table.
"Gray Shadow, see you off!" she shouted through gritted teeth.
The door reopened, and the old man in gray walked ahead with a lamp, sending Qian Renyuan back to the side door on the west side.
Outside the side door, Jiangmo Douluo was still standing where he was. Seeing Qian Renyuan walking out safe and sound, he immediately went up to meet him and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, is there nothing wrong inside?"
"It's okay. We just negotiated a win-win deal."
Qian Renyuan turned his head and glanced at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace in the distance in the night.
"Go back to the manor, the show has just begun."
At the same time, Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, side hall.
Prince Xue Xing stood in the center of the hall with a pale face. The steward who followed Heaven Dou Imperial Academy during the day was now kneeling behind him like mud.
Right above the main hall, Xue Ye was sitting on a large dragon chair. He was only wearing a bright yellow robe, and the collar was not even fully arranged. His eyes were full of exhaustion and sullenness.
"Your Majesty! Spirit Hall Holy Son entered Heaven Dou City this time. He acted extremely arrogantly and did not take our royal family seriously at all!"
Prince Xue Xing knelt on the ground and looked at Xue Ye on the dragon throne. His voice was stern, as if he had been greatly wronged. "Dugu Bo openly destroyed my brother's warrant in front of so many people! And Qian Renyuan not only did not say anything to stop it, Instead, as Spirit Hall Holy Son, he threatens the people of Prince's Residence in public! Your Majesty, if they are allowed to trample on the majesty of the royal family like this, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, is it still my Heaven Dou Empire academy?!"
Xue Ye's ravaged face showed no emotion or anger. His muddy but sharp eyes swept across it lightly, and his voice was low:
"I just want to ask you, Dugu Yan, at that time, were you willing to leave with your people?"
