Douluo 2: Miss Noumenon wants to be the ultimate villain
Chapter 321: Died? Passed on?
Qing Li knew that she was not as smart as Xu Xiao, so she was extremely cautious with every step she took. She would only take action after replaying the situation hundreds of times in her mind.
Moreover, the only apparent enemy Qing Li has to deal with is Xu Xiao, while Xu Xiao has thousands and thousands of enemies.
Becoming an emperor above everyone else and holding supreme power means he is destined to be a lonely man.
This Liao Mengkai was the man who cut off the heads of Xu Ning and his son and went to surrender to Xu Xiao!
How could he be an ordinary person who could make such a ruthless move on the spur of the moment? Only such a person could carry out such a plan.
Liao Mengkai endured humiliation and hardship just for the only remaining orphan in the Ninth Prince's Mansion and for his young master Xu He.
Liao Mengkai became a traitor in Riyue. Although Xu Ning was blamed for treason, the people of Riyue still did not let Liao Mengkai go.
The Korean and Japanese troops, who were unaware of the truth, hated Liao Mengkai to the core, because they could not believe that the general they had followed all their lives could do such a thing.
Afterwards, Xu Xiao naturally promoted this man and kept him by his side, and the remaining North Korean and Japanese troops were split up and reintegrated into the new army.
The soldiers in the North Korean and Japanese armies are each worth a hundred men. Although splitting them up would destroy their strength, it would be too dangerous to keep them.
From then on, there was no more Asahi Army in Riyue. The number disappeared, the military flag was surrendered, and Asahi completely disappeared in the history of Riyue.
Although Xu Ning and the other were willing to die, Liao Mengkai killed his most beloved general with his own hands. How could he not hate Xu Xiao?
He swallowed all the pain and endured the fact that the Joseon-Japanese Army and Xu Ning became a thing of the past.
Because as long as Xu He is there, as long as their prince is there, all of this can still be done again.
Qingli naturally did not provoke Liao Mengkai casually. The two of them met when he was asking for forgiveness.
Liao Mengkai didn't know Qingli, he came here because of something.
What Xu Qing gave Qingli was a star sapphire ring, which could hold more than just the silver heart.
This thing is even more important than Xu He himself. It is a fiery red metal token with intricate sun patterns engraved on it with golden lines!
The Chaori Order! It was equivalent to the military token of the Chaori Army. Seeing this token was like Xu Ning himself coming!
Although there were a lot of people surrounding Liao Mengkai on the day he came to ask for forgiveness, this was exactly the effect Qingli wanted. Perhaps no one thought that she would dare to recognize someone in such an occasion?
Fengyue Wushuang was also present at the time. It was with the help of Time Douluo that Qingli and Liao Mengkai met quietly!
After climbing the last flight of stairs, Qingli finally walked into a heavy and magnificent hall under the guidance of Liao Mengkai.
The atmosphere inside was very solemn. The outer hall was full of people. Standing in the front were the four princes who were still in Mingdu. Standing respectfully on both sides were the important figures of the Sun and Moon Empire. Even Feng Menglu stood among them.
At the deepest part was Xu Xiao, who was lying on the dragon couch. He seemed to be in a coma, and was surrounded by eunuchs and imperial doctors serving him.
No one dared to breathe too loudly. Qingli stood at the back with an expressionless face.
Couldn't she see that Xu Xiao had called her here because he was critically ill?
But everyone knew that Xu Xiao would never let Qing Li touch his body, and he would probably even abandon Feng Menglu, a master of the Sun and Moon Sect.
If one hopes to fight against the enemy as they arise and act according to circumstances, it will not work at all. Qingli will definitely not be his opponent if he relies solely on intelligence and strategy.
Therefore, she must know Xu Xiao’s real purpose in order to truly solve the problem.
Under the current circumstances, it would be better if Qingli could get a little closer. If Qingli could know the specific condition of Xu Xiao's body, he would be more confident.
Although Qingli stopped Liao Mengkai's restlessness, how could the real purpose of people like Xu Xiao be easily known to others?
What if this situation is just a return to simplicity, without any conspiracy, and he is really going to die?
This situation is the most dangerous. A dying person may do anything. Could it be that he is targeting Cai Meir?
If President Cai knew that Qingli was taken away by Liao Mengkai, he might really break into the palace...
Every second in the palace is tormenting. The longer the time goes, the more restless people become. If Xu Xiao really dies, it will be a major change in the Sun and Moon Empire. Naturally, everyone has to consider their future.
Who will be the next to succeed to the throne: the eldest prince Xu Tianran, or the seventh prince Xu Tianyang?
Qingli was brought here at noon, and now it was starting to get dark.
Xu Xiao woke up several times, but his complexion became worse and worse.
There was an old man in holy robes standing in front of Xu Xiao's bed. This man was the first priest of the Sun and Moon, named Xu Shengji. He was in charge of the sacrifices and inheritance of the Sun Temple. All major activities could only proceed with his presence.
The coiled dragon holy light staff in his hand is also a symbol of the empire's first priest. This holy staff is connected to the life breath of emperors of all generations.
This is the ancient ritual that Feng Lie mentioned. The dragon body is closely related to this holy staff. The old man is present to ensure that no one can do anything to Xu Xiao's body at this time.
This Panlong Holy Light Staff is black and purple in color, and is shaped like a purple-bright sky-destroying dragon holding the sun in its mouth. The sun on the top of the staff is currently flashing with a flickering light.
The shadows on everyone's face are constantly changing under the illumination of this light.
As the evening hour approached, the sky completely darkened. Xu Xiao seemed to finally sober up. He looked at the officials standing in neat rows below and coughed desperately, "I'm not dead yet, why are you all so upset!"
After Xu Tianran knelt first, the other princes followed suit, followed by the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, may you be blessed with great fortune and good health. You will live as long as the sun and the moon!" They all bowed down.
Qingli hid behind the pillar without moving. She couldn't even think about kneeling down.
So far, Qingli has been able to keep his composure, because compared with everyone present, Qingli has very little to do with this game.
On the surface, Xu Xiao’s life or death has little to do with her, and Cai Meir did not break in here because of her, so this is the most correct choice.
As long as Qingli did everything right, they would release Qingli no matter what the final situation was.
"Report! Lord Zhaolan has rebelled, and two cities in the Western Region have fallen into his hands!"
As soon as this notice came out, Xu Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his golden pillow red.
The holy light staff in Xu Shengji's hand immediately dimmed a little, and all the princes rushed to the dragon bed at once.
Xu Tianyang immediately turned around and stood up, shouting angrily at the civil and military officials, "Who was that just now! How could you pass such news to my father? Drag him out and chop him off!"
There were also many angry curses around, what a bunch of bastards! Taking advantage of His Majesty's serious illness, they actually did such a thing!
As Xu Xiao's spirit became weaker and weaker, many people shed tears.
The sixth prince Xu Tianyin burst into tears, the third prince Xu Tianyuan only shed a few tears, and the remaining two princes all had tense faces and said nothing.
Xu Xiao seemed to be inspired by the sad environment around him. When he opened his eyes again, his four sons appeared in front of him.
He sighed deeply, his words becoming somewhat unclear, "Please come back, Zhao Zhang'er. I miss him a little."
Xu Tianran held back his tears and said, "Father, my fifth brother is still in the north. I will call him back right away."
The fifth prince Xu Tianzhang will be recalled to Mingdu, and all five princes will return to the court, which means that Xu Xiao's body may really not be able to hold on.
Xu Xiao gathered up a little strength and sat up from the couch. "Call the Minister of State Wen Ruoxuan, the Ministry of Administration Si Minghai, and the Prime Minister Chang Houqingping. I want to leave a letter for you."
For a moment, tears were flowing in the hall. Xu Xiao looked like he was going to leave a suicide note.
He had just summoned dozens of people, all of whom were important officials from various departments of the Sun-Moon Empire, but the number of people from the four families among them was pitifully small. Even Feng Menglu only had a hereditary title and did not hold any official position in the court.
Xu Xiao kept talking about his affairs after his death, and the civil servants recorded them one by one after polishing them.
But how many people in this scene are expressing their true feelings? What they really care about is who Xu Xiao will pass the throne to.
"The eldest prince Xu Tianran has noble character, is dignified and polite; the third prince Xu Tianyuan has an upright character, a jade in the rough; the fifth prince Xu Tianzhang is loyal and brave..."
Just as Xu Xiao was talking about this, Xu Shengji, who had been standing next to him, suddenly interrupted him.
At this moment, Xu Tianyang's face looked very ugly, because his name was almost mentioned.
What Xu Xiao said at this moment might very well be a symbol of passing on the throne, but the previous princes were all described in very ordinary terms and did not specifically refer to the throne of the emperor, so how could Xu Tianyang not place hope on himself at this time.
Just when he felt that his hope was growing, Xu Shengji said, "Your Majesty, the Sun Moon Empire cannot do without you now. I cannot bear to see you return with regrets, so I beg you to allow me to use the life-saving method that has been passed down by the Sun Moon for thousands of years to cure this stubborn disease for you!"
