pThe fourth prince looked at Long Chen, gently picked up the teacup in front of him, poured a cup of tea for Long Chen, and chuckled:/p
p "Brother Long is really a dragon among men. No matter what, your courage is admirable"/p
p "Fourth Prince, you are too polite. I still don't know how you recognized me," Long Chen said./p
p He really wanted to know where he had exposed his flaws. He believed that his disguise technique was absolutely infallible./p
p "As the saying goes, a wise man will always make mistakes. To be honest, I really didn't recognize Brother Long, but the ring on your hand reminded me of you, and it was only because of your eyes that I recognized him.
"The fourth prince pointed at Long Chen's hand./p
pLong Chen suddenly realized that the space ring he was wearing was engraved with the unique pattern of the Alchemist Guild, and he had actually forgotten such a big loophole./p
p "The fourth prince is really observant and admirable, but I really want to know why the fourth prince wants to help me?" Long Chen said./p
p "Haha, Brother Long may not believe it when I say it. In fact, I hate Xia Changfeng. Anyway, Chu Yao is also my sister. Although in the palace, family affection is a luxury, but in my heart, it is still more or less
There are some./p
pIn fact, I can’t bear Chu Yao marrying someone she doesn’t like, but you also know that the royal family is like this, only interests and no emotions. This is the helplessness of being born in the royal family./p
pI have made suggestions to the Queen Mother several times, hoping that she could take back her life, but unfortunately to no avail. In the end, I offended the Queen Mother and was kicked out of the Palace of Supreme Harmony./p
pI recognized Brother Long today and came to visit Chu Yao. I can see that you are sincere to Chu Yao, but my ability is limited and I can only help you so much." The fourth prince sighed./p
p "The fourth prince is too polite. Long Chen will remember what happened today." Long Chen said, no matter what, he owed the fourth prince a favor today./p
p "In addition, I have also investigated the matter of your Long family's salary being withheld, but I couldn't continue the investigation halfway through, so I can't do anything about your Long family's affairs," the fourth prince said./p
pLong Chen frowned and asked, "Can the Fourth Prince give some advice to Mr. Long?"/p
p "This, after all, is an internal matter within the royal family. It is like a pool of muddy water. There is also intrigue among siblings. I really can't do anything about it." The fourth prince shook his head and said./p
pLong Chen's eyes lit up slightly. Although the fourth prince did not answer directly, he deliberately mentioned the relationship between siblings, which is somewhat interesting./p
pThere are seven princes in total. In addition to the fourth prince, there are six others. The seventh prince can also be excluded directly./p
p Then there are only the eldest, second, third, fifth and sixth princes left. On the day of the Fengming Lantern Festival, Long Chen was in the audience and looked at these people carefully. Except for the eldest prince, none of them looked like shrewd masters.
/p
p Then the suspicion points directly at the eldest prince, and at Huayun Auction House that day, Long Chen recognized the murderer who killed Li Hao and silenced him. All the evidence pointed the way./p
p "Thank you very much" Long Chen said with a fist in his arms./p
p "Haha, I didn't say anything. I don't dare to accept your thanks." The fourth prince smiled./p
pThe fourth prince sighed again and said: "Sometimes, I envy you princes, you can be free, unlike us who are often unable to help ourselves and have to cater to people we clearly don't like./p
pNo, Xia Changfeng returned to the Daxia Empire ten days later to prepare for marrying Chu Yao. Although I wanted to beat him up, I had to send him off with a smile. This is the sadness of being born into the royal family."/p
p "He will leave in ten days?" Long Chen asked calmly, but there was a fierce look in his eyes, which he quickly suppressed./p
pThe fourth prince seemed not to notice the change in Long Chen's eyes. He took a sip of tea and said to himself: "Yes, he will take a shortcut back to Daxia via Nanguan. After all, there are many things to prepare for the prince's wedding.
”/p
pLong Chen nodded and secretly wrote down the matter. At the same time, a bold idea emerged in his mind. If he succeeded, Chu Yao's matter would be solved./p
pThe fourth prince chatted with Long Chen for a while before politely sending Long Chen away. When the fourth prince returned again, there was an additional woman in the room./p
pThe woman looks to be in her thirties, has a slender figure, and is full of luxury, giving people an awe-inspiring and inviolable feeling./p
p "You are doing something very dangerous," the woman said./p
pThe fourth prince smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently: "Danger is risk, and high risk means high reward. I think it is worth it./p
pIf Long Chen fails, then he will become a corpse, which is beneficial to us. If he succeeds, I can make the next plan. Mom, you don’t have to worry."/p
p That woman was the mother of the Fourth Prince, the Empress of the West Palace of Fengming Empire. At this moment, she shook her head and said: "I hope you know what you are doing? The reason why I married Fengming is with a mission.
Both you and I need to remember”/p
p "Humph, you were originally the princess of Daxia, and you came to Fengming for this purpose, and what about me? I was born as a chess piece?/p
pThey want to seize Fengming Jiangshan, want Xia Changfeng to rule this country, and then monopolize that treasure land. Then all the credit will be theirs. Can we, mother and son, just become their tools? Why?"/p
pThe fourth prince suddenly turned livid and roared, now he is like a stimulated monster, ready to bite people at any time./p
p "Xia'er, I know you are not convinced. With your talent, you are not inferior to anyone, but this is your fate." Empress Nisigong sighed helplessly./p
p "What fate? Fates are changed by people. My life must be controlled by myself. I don't want to be a puppet anymore. I want to become the emperor of this country." The fourth prince snorted coldly./p
p "This is impossible" Nisigong Empress shook her head and said./p
p "Don't worry, I have already planned it. By the way, what's going on with the Queen Mother?" the fourth prince asked./p
p "She has been hit by my soul-obsessing spell and is basically under complete control. However, just in case, I still add 'stuff' every day." Empress Nisigong said calmly./p
p "That's good, now let's wait for the good news from Long Chen. I hope he won't disappoint me." A smile appeared on the fourth prince's face, and he picked up the teacup in his hand and drank it all./p
p……/p
pWhen Long Chen returned home, he saw several carriages parked at the door. He couldn't help but be startled. As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper told Long Chen that there were guests at home./p
pLong Chen was stunned. It seems that no one from the Long family has visited for several years. When did the guests appear?/p
pHe went straight to his mother's residence. He saw his mother all the way away, talking with a few people. When he saw Long Chen coming, he hurriedly said: "Chen'er, come here, I have seen your two aunts."/p
Among the few people, there were two women who looked slightly older than their mother. Long Chen had to call her aunt./p
p "Haha, good boy, you have grown so big in a flash. Come on, you guys should meet your cousin quickly." A woman hurriedly shouted to a few people behind her./p
pThere were three men and two women, and they looked slightly older than Long Chen. One man said awkwardly: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years."/p
p Long Chen nodded. He had an impression of this person. When they were playing together when they were children, he raped his toys and was bitten by Long Chen to the point of crying./p
pAlthough the arrival of his mother's family was a bit unexpected, seeing the smile on his mother's face, Long Chen couldn't say much, so he could only manage a few words./p
pAfter those people had finished talking and stood up to leave, Long Chen learned from his mother that they were here to apologize to his mother./p
p "Chen'er, when our Long family was in crisis, my mother-in-law's family stood idly by and she did hold a grudge in her heart./p
pBut when they came this time and told the whole story, in fact they also have grievances. It’s not that they don’t want to help us, but they don’t dare.” Mrs. Long sighed./p
p "Now that things have passed, and now you have become a noble alchemist, our Long family has also risen./p
p. Mom has also thought about it. Let the past things go by. I hope you won’t take it to heart. After all, they are my mother’s relatives.”/p
pLong Chen sneered in his heart, why not? The Long family was already in such dire straits that they almost had no money to eat, what were they doing?/p
p Even if you can’t help openly, it’s very easy to secretly help with money. To put it bluntly, it’s hypocrisy./p
p Nowadays, Long Chen has risen, and everyone in the entire imperial capital knows about it. He is also closely related to Master Yunqi, and he dares to compete with Yinghou at the auction, which fully demonstrates Long Chen's domineering power./p
pLong Chen told everyone in this way that his Long Family is no longer the Long Family of the past, and cannot be bullied by anyone who wants to./p
p Only come to the door to admit their mistakes at this time, it is clearly the behavior of a villain who wants to follow others. Although Long Chen feels disdainful, his mother has already forgiven them, and it is not convenient for him to worry about it./p
pAs long as the mother likes it, let her go. If you live in the secular world, you need to endure the secular way of life./p
p Seeing that Long Chen is not that disgusted with her mother's family, Mrs. Long is relieved. After all, no matter how resentful she is, they are all her relatives, and after being alone for so many years, Mrs. Long also longs for family affection./p
p chatted with his mother for a while, and her mother briefly asked about Long Chen's current situation. Long Chen vaguely explained that anyway, it was just a matter of reporting good news but not bad news, which made Mrs. Long feel at ease./p
pAfter returning from his mother, Long Chen entered seclusion. During this time, he has been busy with things and has never really practiced with peace of mind./p
pNow he has an idea, which is to keep Xia Changfeng in Fengming Empire forever. However, Xia Changfeng will definitely have many guards around him. He must be fully prepared and must kill this bastard this time./p
pBut since he condensed the eleventh cyclone, he has become more and more confused about his path of cultivation. He doesn't know how to advance to coagulation in the Nine Star Hegemonic Body Technique./p
pBut now he has no way out. Without his Dantian, practicing the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique is his only way out./p
pEleven cyclones are operating at full strength, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, like eleven huge bellows, continuously sucking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into Fengfu Star./p
pLong Chen found that the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more than ten times that of the past ten cyclones, which made him feel at ease./p
pThree days later, there was an explosion in Long Chen's dantian, with a dull look on his face. It turned out to be just a saturated cyclone, and the vibration it sent out did not break through./p
pLong Chen has an urge to go crazy. When will this happen? If this continues, he will go crazy./p
pJust when Long Chen was about to go crazy for the Nine-Star Hegemon Body Technique, Bao'er's voice came from outside the door./p
