Hearing this, Concubine Jin suddenly frowned, confused, and even more confused.
What is the reason for this?
Although the surname Xiao is not a common surname in Cangyun Empire, there are definitely not a few people with this surname!
But just as Jin Fei wanted to ask further, Ye Wushuang waved his hand and turned away directly.
The golden concubine was left alone, but she stopped talking.
As soon as he walked out of the palace, everyone waiting outside rushed up in unison.
At this moment, Yao Jiaxuan glanced at the palace with his peripheral vision, and saw the golden concubine standing blankly beside her. A wooden table that had been set up turned into powder, and the whole palace was in a mess. He couldn't help but be surprised and amazed in his heart.
Brother Ye was in there just now, and he was having such a violent fight with Concubine Jin...?
Even the table was damaged?
"Master Ye!"
Chu Emperor Chu Xiaoao was all smiles, respectfully held his hands in his hands and said, "Are you done talking?"
"Um!"
Ye Wushuang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have gained something from this negotiation; speaking of this, I have to thank the Emperor of Chu for his help."
After all, Concubine Jin is the concubine of the current Emperor Chu, and there are many taboos in the palace. If the Emperor of Chu had not personally led the way, it would not be easy to meet Concubine Jin.
Of course, Ye Wushuang didn't take it seriously as a mere imperial palace of the Cangyun Empire; but he still had to say the words that deserved the respect.
"What did Mr. Ye say?"
Chu Xiaoao quickly gave in and said humbly: "It is my honor to be able to help Mr. Ye."
"Okay, now that this is over, it's time for me to leave!"
Ye Wushuang didn't say much at the moment, waved his hand and said: "As the Emperor of Chu, you have many things to do, so you don't need to send them away. Just go and do whatever you need to do!"
"yes!"
Chu Xiaoao responded with his hands raised.
Ye Wushuang immediately took Sheng Kang, Yao Wenhao, Yao Jiaxuan and others and stepped away.
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
Just after taking two steps, Ye Wushuang stopped suddenly, turned around and glanced at Chu Yuntian beside Chu Xiaoao, and smiled faintly: "Chu Yuntian, come here!"
"ah?"
Chu Yuntian was a little surprised when he was suddenly called by his name. He subconsciously glanced at his father beside him, and seeing that his expression did not change, he walked over.
Ye Wushuang didn't say much, directly pulled Chu Yuntian aside and whispered; then he patted Chu Yuntian on the shoulder, looked encouraging, and stepped away.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiaoao on the side frowned slightly, and a touch of surprise flashed in his pupils.
His second son seems to be quite fond of Ye Wushuang?
After Ye Wushuang and others disappeared completely, Chu Xiaoao looked at Chu Yuntian, the expression on his face had returned to the imperial state, and said lightly: "Yuntian, what did Mr. Ye say to you just now?"
"Go back to my father, Mr. Ye..."
At this moment, Chu Yuntian's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly bowed: "He just told me the method of opening the Fish Intestine Sword!"
After hearing this, Chu Xiaoao's expression suddenly changed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed through his eyes; but he quickly returned to his original state and nodded slightly.
At this moment, Chu Xiaoao had already guessed what Ye Wushuang meant.
The night before yesterday, in the Ziwei Hall, he personally promised in front of the nine princes that whoever could open the Fish Intestine Sword and take out the Black Spear Obliterating Heaven Jue inside would be crown prince.
Now, Ye Wushuang told Chu Yuntian the method of opening the Fish Intestine Sword in front of him alone; obviously, he was conveying to Chu Xiaoao in disguise that Chu Yuntian could win the title of crown prince!
"Father..."
Seeing that Chu Xiaoao was silent, Chu Yuntian called out cautiously at this moment.
"Um!"
Only then did Chu Xiaoao come back to his senses, and immediately promised: "Don't worry, as long as you can really open the Fish Intestine Sword and let our Chu family obtain the Wuqian Annihilation Technique, the position of crown prince will be yours."
!”
"Thank you, Father!"
Hearing this, Chu Yuntian looked overjoyed and hurriedly leaned over and knelt down.
To be honest, he was not interested in the position of Emperor Chu; but the contempt, disdain, and humiliation he had suffered since childhood made him determined to win the position of crown prince.
Because becoming the Emperor of Chu is the only chance he has seen so far to make a comeback, and it is also the only way to stop his mother from being wronged!
Now this goal has finally been achieved!
Chu Xiaoao's thoughts were racing at the moment, and his previous warmth and humility was gone, and his expression became much gloomier. He didn't bother to say more, nodded to the golden concubine, and stepped away.
The appearance of Ye Wushuang today made him realize that something was wrong, and he also realized that the Cangyun Empire might be about to undergo some changes. As the Emperor of Chu, he had to make preparations in advance.
Especially that matter must be speeded up!
"Yun'er!"
Seeing Chu Xiaoao leaving, Jin Fei walked over quickly and called Chu Yuntian softly: "Come in, I have something to tell you!"
"Oh, good!"
Chu Yuntian nodded and immediately walked into the palace.
Concubine Jin cautiously looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, she closed the palace door directly, and then looked at Chu Yuntian with a solemn expression.
"Yun'er, you have grown up. There are some things that I should tell you..."
...
After leaving the harem, Chu Xiaoao did not return to his bedroom, but walked directly into the imperial study.
Then, Chu Xiaoao pressed a secret mechanism somewhere on the bookshelf, and a secret door suddenly opened slowly. The pungent smell of blood came out, and a long corridor appeared!
The corridor is very narrow and can only accommodate one person.
Looking around, it was dark inside, with only a faint blue light visible at the end, like a dormant beast, standing in the darkness, watching mercilessly.
Chu Xiaoao's expression didn't change at all at this moment. He took a deep breath, stepped in, and walked deep along the corridor.
As Chu Xiaoao approached, the faint blue light gradually brightened, and a spacious and secret room came into view.
The whole body of this secret room is made of special rocks, which is airtight and very solid.
At this moment, in the middle of the secret room, six cold chains as thick as arms hung down from the roof, tightly locked on the limbs and shoulders of an old man with disheveled hair, bleeding into his bones.
The old man's clothes were ragged, his hair was unkempt, and his body was dripping with blood. His head was slightly hung, his vitality was weak, and he was dying.
Right in front of the old man, a white-haired middle-aged man wearing a black robe and carrying a sword was sitting on a chair, drinking tea and staring at the old man with a sneer.
Sensing the movement behind him, the white-haired man did not raise his head, but put down the teacup and said calmly: "Here?"
"Um!"
Chu Xiaoao came to the side of the white-haired middle-aged man, glanced at the bloody old man, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you still unwilling to say it?"
"This old guy has very strong bones!"
The white-haired middle-aged man sighed: "I have used all possible means, but I have never been able to pry his mouth open!"
"Then break his limbs and cut him into a pig; then, cut off a piece of flesh from him every day and see how long he can last!"
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed across the calm face of the white-haired middle-aged man, and he looked at Chu Xiaoao in shock: "What happened?"
"Do you still remember the eight stone pillars standing in the outer city square?"
Chu Xiaoao did not answer, but asked instead.
"Remember, wasn't it the same old guy who gave it to Emperor Chu Yu to guard the palace?"
The white-haired middle-aged man pointed at the old man in front of him and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the protective formation?"
"Huh, that's not a protective formation at all, but..."
Chu Xiaoao's eyes were full of murderous intent at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "The ancient killing formation, the Eight Desolate Dragon Evil Formation!"
"No way?"
The white-haired middle-aged man said in surprise: "Those eight stone pillars have been standing in the palace for thousands of years. If they were a killing array, they should have been discovered long ago, right?"
"I also hope it's fake, but it's a pity..."
Chu Xiaoao looked at the dying old man and said slowly: "Just today, a young man came to the palace. Not only did he activate the Eight Desolate Dragon Evil Formation, but he also summoned the Nine Nether Blood Dragon hidden within it!"
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the white-haired middle-aged man suddenly widened his eyes, full of shock.
