"Aren't you going to mention it anymore?"
"I haven't decided yet, we'll talk about it later!" Qian Renxue glared at him through gritted teeth, then chewed the braised pork in her mouth fiercely, as if she were eating Lin Chen's flesh.
"You have to grant me a hundred requests, and you said it yourself."
"Okay, okay, I told you~" Lin Chen poured her a cup of tea. "Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."
Aside from Bibi Dong, he had never been so gentle with any woman. He truly loved Qian Renxue, his nominal daughter who had a dark childhood.
Tap tap tap...
Just then, the personal maid Xiao He rushed in to report, " Your Highness Xue, something terrible has happened! Dugu Bo, Tang San, and the others have entered the Imperial Palace."
"What?!" Qian Renxue stood up instantly, her eyebrows furrowed, and shouted, "When did this happen?!"
"Just a quarter of an hour ago."
Qian Renxue anxiously approached the dressing mirror. "We absolutely cannot let them wake Xue Ye, otherwise my identity will definitely be exposed, and it will be difficult for us to regain control of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Having said that, she didn't care about Lin Chen standing to the side, and directly took off her platinum dress and boots, revealing her tall and fiery figure wearing only two white undergarments.
Before long, Qian Renxue became the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Lin Chen chuckled lightly, "No rush, they can't escape. Xue'er, do you want to Heaven Dou Emperor?"
"Nonsense!" Qian Renxue her eyes at him. "Otherwise, what would I be busy with?"
"Since you want it, I'll help you fight for the throne!"
Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him strangely. "Aren't you afraid that if I become the Heaven Dou Emperor, I'll compete with her for the position of Emperor of the Spirit Hall Empire?"
Lin Chen said calmly, "I'm not afraid, because I've got you covered."
Qian Renxue glared at him and said irritably, "How do you plan to help me?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Let's go. Right now, the most important thing is to prevent Xue Ye from waking up," Lin Chen said calmly.
A quarter of an hour later, in front of the imperial bedchamber
' Xue Qinghe ' led a group of royal guards and quickly surrounded the imperial palace, causing the surrounding palace maids and guards to show signs of panic.
What's going on?
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince intend to stage a coup?"
"That can't be! His Highness the Crown Prince is the chief heir to the Heaven Dou Emperor's throne. How could he possibly stage a coup?"
Xue Qinghe said in a low voice, "Everyone, don't panic. According to reliable information, assassins have infiltrated the Imperial Palace and intend to assassinate Father."
"Guards, surround the Imperial Palace!"
"Yes!"
Tap tap tap...
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of royal guards surrounded the imperial palace in layers.
Meanwhile, inside the imperial palace
The second elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Yu Yuanheng, exclaimed with extreme graveness, "This is terrible! Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has surrounded the palace with his men!"
Tang San's face darkened. "The Crown Prince is indeed suspicious. Are they trying to prevent us from reviving Xue Ye?"
Flender quickly asked, " Xiao San, what do we do now?"
Dugu Bo revealed a hint of certainty. "There's no time to waste. If we can't revive the Emperor this time, then there will be no chance. We must fight them and take the Emperor out!"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen. "But if that's the case, we can't explain ourselves at all. The royal guards only listen to the Emperor and Xue Qinghe. If the Emperor doesn't wake up, it will be very difficult for us to break out."
Tang San's expression was also extremely grim. "We have to charge, no matter how difficult it is. If Xue Ye dies, the Heaven Dou Empire will truly be doomed. If the Spirit Hall deals with the Heaven Dou Empire, the next one will be our Upper Three Sects!"
"Run!"
Then, the group dared not waste any more time, and they carried Xue Ye on their backs and rushed out.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing this, Xue Qinghe growled, "How dare they kidnap my father! Guards, kill them!"
"Yes!"
Dugu Bo shouted, " Little Monster, you take the Emperor and go first. I'll clear the way and cover your retreat!"
" Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Squeak...
Suddenly, a Bi Phosphorus Snake Emperor, over ten zhang long, appeared below the main hall, tearing a gap in the encirclement of the Heaven Dou Royal Guard.
Bang! Boom boom boom...
"Ahhhh..."
More than twenty royal Soul Master fell to the ground.
"Let's go now!"
Tang San gave a low shout and led everyone to rush out through the opening. Yang Wudi, Yu Yuanheng Flender, and others protected them, while a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan carried Xue Ye on his back, and Tang San protected them from attacks by the royal guards.
A few breaths later, the group managed to escape from the imperial palace.
In the distance, the top of a palace
Five figures stood upright above, none other than Lin Chen and the four Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall.
Seeing this scene, Mad Lion Douluo volunteered. " Your Emperor, why don't you let me go? It's probably difficult for the Heaven Dou Royal Guard to capture them all."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "No rush, Elder Wild Lion has his own mission."
Enshrined Qian Jun asked anxiously, " Your Emperor, what about us?"
" The Heaven Dou Empire doesn't have Titled Douluo. If you suddenly make a move, it might raise suspicions about Xue'er's identity," Lin Chen explained.
"You just need to observe and wait. If other Titled Douluo intervene, don't hold back."
Qian Jun frowned deeply. "But if that's the case, can Your Highness resolve the hidden danger posed by Xue Ye?"
"If that doesn't work," Lin Chen said with a slight smile, "I still have the people I brought."
Imperial Palace
Seeing that Tang San and his group had broken out of the encirclement, Poison Douluo quickly followed and covered their rear to prevent the Heaven Dou Royal Guard from catching up with them.
Sizzle sizzle...
The enormous Jade Phosphorus Snake smashed through a group of royal guards, and just as it was about to escape from everyone's sight, a beautiful figure blocked its way.
Dugu Bo's face changed drastically, and he immediately stopped in his tracks. " Yanyan?! What are you doing here?!"
Dugu Yan, dressed in a purple strapless mini-dress, stood tall and graceful, her short purple hair parted to the side. Her large, bright green eyes stared intently at him. "Why can't I be here? Grandpa should know whose daughter she is now, right?"
Dugu Bo said anxiously, " Yanyan, we can talk about your matter later. The Emperor has treated me very well. You don't want your grandfather to be an ungrateful person, do you?"
"Alright then~" Dugu Yan put her hands behind her back. "Since Grandpa insists on repaying his kindness, then I'll have to find another way to stop him."
A moment later, Dugu Yan ran to Xue Qinghe's side. "Your Highness, if my grandfather insists on working for Tang San and the others, then just kill me."
" Yanyan... you!" Dugu Bo was completely stunned.
Xue Qinghe glanced at him indifferently. " Senior Dugu, you don't want Yanyan's life to be in danger, do you?"
Dugu Bo was furious and thought to himself: This damned granddaughter who's siding with outsiders.
Although he didn't quite believe that Xue Qinghe would really dare to harm Dugu Yan, he didn't dare to gamble. He only had this one granddaughter, who was also the only heir left by his son.
Xue Qinghe's lips curled slightly upward. "Guest Dugu has reformed. Everyone, continue the pursuit! Surround all the assassins within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!"
"Yes!"
