Crown Prince

Qing Lan regained her strength, hurriedly stood up and stepped forward.She took out a jade box from her sleeve, carefully and respectfully took the pill in Nian Xing's hand.Before the jade box was buttoned, the white beads inside reflected a faint red light like smoke, Qing Lan's fingertips trembled, and her eyes showed surprise.

"Dijun, this is not..."

Yan Xing said indifferently: "He gave this to me." He fixedly glanced at Qing Lan, and beckoned him to come closer, "Come here."

Qing Lan frowned slightly, but there was still deep confusion in her eyes.But she still walked in front of Nian Xing without hesitation, and then squatted down gently.

The female officer looked up at the Dragon Emperor. From this point of view—Ranxing is also perfect. There should be no more handsome, colder, and more elegant man in this world... He has always been indifferent, and everything is out of sight Therefore, there are very few opportunities for Qing Lan to look up at him humblely at such a close distance.

Ever since she was a little girl, the first time she saw their emperor at the ceremony...she kept thinking, what should she do to get closer to this man?

And now... have you done it yourself?

Rang Xing glanced at the woman, but didn't try to check her mind.Except for Li Ying, he seldom spends such thought on other people - why bother?The other party's thoughts can neither affect his mood nor change his decision.

He stretched out his hand, and a diamond-shaped emerald green stone floated in his slender, white palm, slowly emitting a white halo.

Qing Lan opened her almond eyes wide, her red lips parted slightly.

"Close your eyes." Yan Xing said lightly.

As soon as he was urged by his spiritual power, the stone in his hand turned at a high speed, the white light gradually blazed, and then there were continuously entangled blue-green light threads released from the stone, slowly condensing into a ball above the stone.When no more green strands were released from the stone, Nian Xing raised his other hand and pushed the ball of green strands to the center of Qing Lan's forehead.

"Hmm—" Qing Lan closed her eyes, her cheeks turned red, as if she was trying her best to endure the pain.

Yan Xing said calmly: "Hold it...you usually need a hundred years to absorb and refine this top-grade spirit stone, but now this gentleman directly refines this spirit energy with you, although it is a little bit...but it can equal your hundred years of work."

This process lasted for an hour before resting, and when Nian Xing withdrew his hand, Qing Lan was already limp on the ground.When she opened her eyes again, the brilliance in her pupils was radiant, her facial features became brighter and younger, and her spirit was completely different from before.

"Thank you, Emperor." Qing Lan kowtowed excitedly.Although her qualifications in Xuanyuan Palace are far higher than Jiaojiao's, Jiaojiao has reached the realm of dragon transformation one step earlier than her. Now that the emperor is helping her with a top-quality spirit stone, she must be the day she becomes a real dragon It's not far away!

But Nian Xing didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "You finish the matter in hand... then go back to the cave to retreat by yourself."

Qing Lan was taken aback for a moment, and the joy on her face also faded.

"Dijun, now the inside and outside of Dragon City are in danger, you only have the prime minister and servants by your side..." She looked at Dragon Emperor worriedly.

Yan Xing shook his head, turned around and sat down at the head, the dragon case that was broken between his sleeves was intact as before.

"You don't have to worry, the prime minister can still protect himself. If you don't retreat, how can you help me with your current ability?" He looked at the jade box that had just been put aside just now, and it took him a long time to look away. With your ability, if you can transform a dragon, you must be able to occupy a place in the Dragon City Guard."

Yan Xing watched her quietly: "Do you understand... what I mean?"

Qing Lan stopped talking, only kowtowed deeply again.There is no repayment for such high hopes, and she can only do her best to smash her body to pieces.She kowtowed three times, then got up silently, and retreated out holding the jade box.

After a while, Gui Yannian stepped into the Longyuan Pavilion, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas was already on his way.

"Have you heard about Ao He?"

Gui Yannian bowed and saluted: "The Dragon City Guard has reported."

Nian Xing hummed for a moment, and asked, "Have you ever inspected his bones?"

The young prime minister raised his head, and replied in confusion: "Minister, we have indeed investigated... but it seems that Elder Ao He's inner alchemy has... been poached already, and logically, he would not be able to support him until now before he died."

Dragon Emperor frowned.

Neidan was poached...?If the dragon's inner alchemy is dug out, the end will be the same as sawing off the dragon's horns, just like his dead brothers, I am afraid that even the dragon shape will not be able to maintain it.Dragon City is in his eyes, and he knows it like the palm of his hand. If there is a change in the elder, he will notice it immediately... But this time until Ao He died, he didn't perceive it. It's really weird.

"Let's put this matter on hold for the time being," he paused, "I want to know the truth... the elders other than Ao He should check one by one."

"Yes." Guicheng responded.He looked at the anger in Dragon Emperor's eyes, hesitated for a while and said something in a low voice.

"Emperor, there is something... I don't know if I think too much."

Nianxing looked at him.

Gui Yannian felt a chill when recalling the scene he saw in Aohe House.

"When I inspected Elder Aohe's bones, I found a problem," he said: "Although there is no wound on the surface of the elder's body, the traces dug out of the dragon pill have also rotted away, but after careful identification, I still feel that the wound is very similar to the body." It was caused by... the Dragon Queen's Hongyan Saber."

Ran Xing was taken aback for a moment, his face suddenly a little dazed.

Prime Minister Gui caught a glimpse of the Dragon Emperor's reaction, and couldn't help but start to twitch his eyelids.

"Dragon Empress, Emperor." He couldn't help reminding in a low voice.

Nian Xing came to his senses and touched his chin subconsciously.He almost forgot... It turned out that there was a Luanfeng Palace behind it, and people were still locked in it.Dragon Queen...he thought, Hongling has been imprisoned by him for hundreds of years, why is he still restless?How stupid to hit his son's attention like this?

He rubbed his chin with his fingers, feeling a little pain.At the beginning, the little guy was so wronged because he sneaked to the Luanfeng Palace and was spanked by him. If he had a stepmother, he would have a stepdad, and he left a small tooth mark on his chin for half a month. remove…

Hongling?

No one helped her escape the seal she set herself?In other words, even if she came out, with her temper, why didn't she rush directly to the Prince's Hall but collude with Ao He?This woman has no prestige in Dragon City at all, and Ao He is already in her late [-]s... It's not because of her beauty that she opposes him, right?

"Are you sure it was caused by her knife?" He said coldly.

Gui Yannian hesitated instead.This... the knife edge is so messy, and Elder Aohe's body is already rotten, it is certain that he will never say such words...

He sincerely said to Yan Xing: "This is just... just a little suspicion of the minister, and there is really no conclusive evidence."

Yan Xing suddenly laughed, but his eyes looked a little cold.

"It's simple, just see if she has been out of the Luanfeng Palace?" He recruited two Longcheng guards and ordered, "Go and check the seal at the entrance of the Luanfeng Palace, and come back and report to the Lord no matter what the situation is, don't worry about it." We must scare the snake away."

Let's talk about Li Ying.

He didn't sleep well that night, tossing and turning just felt uncomfortable.So the bedtime scene that was supposed to be played every morning was abnormally absent today.When Bolan heard the commotion in the hall, and walked into the screen with the washing utensils, Long Tuantuan was already fluffy, sitting in the middle of the bed with dazed eyes, and his long nightgown was rolled up like twists, revealing his white and tender belly .

"Your Highness?" Bolan carefully squatted beside the dragon bed, trying to wake up a certain cub who was under pressure.

Li Ying wandered for a long time with swollen eyes, and then asked in a childish voice, "My father... pinch?"

Bo Lan looked at the little prince with a smile: "The emperor didn't come back yesterday, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas is discussing matters with him, and he is still in Longyuan Pavilion."

Li Ying suddenly woke up.

His father didn't come back to sleep! !Without a pillow, no wonder he didn't sleep well! !He wiped his saliva, hummed and climbed out of bed to wash his face, thinking about it while washing... Obviously he was fine during the day yesterday, he played with his father on the street all day, what else could he do when he came back at night?He rolled his eyes, thinking that it was Bolan who called his father out last night, and...in the name of Qing Lan.

"Where's Qing Lan? Tell her to come here." After washing his face, he threw back the handkerchief and said casually.

Bo Lan hurriedly reached out to take the handkerchief, blinked and replied in a low voice: "Your Highness, Aunt Qinglan is now going back to the cave to practice like Sister Jiaojiao."

What? !

Li Ying was shocked.Why did he fall asleep and the sky changed?Isn't Qing Lan his father's female officer?He looked at Bolan up and down, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this guy in his family would not be the material for the chief female assistant of Dragon Palace... Once Qing Lan left, his father would have no one to replace him!

He looked up at his female officer seriously: "I ask you seriously, and you have to answer me seriously."

Bolan blinked, and squatted down to salute: "This servant should answer seriously, Your Highness will ask."

Li Ying coughed lightly, then hurried over and whispered: "Yesterday, what did Qing Lan and my father want to talk about? Why is she about to level up all of a sudden?"

Bolan looked at His Highness the Crown Prince in confusion, thought for a while, and said seriously: "My servant...I don't know."

Li Ying rolled his eyes and went out with his sleeves flung.

Inside Longyuan Pavilion, the atmosphere is very heavy.The elders may not even be able to compare with the Dragon King of the Four Seas in terms of strength, but they are the dragon clan closest to the Dragon Emperor's direct lineage, and their prestige in the dragon clan is also long-lasting and very important.At this moment, just a few hours ago, Ao He, who had been teaching in the ethnology, died suddenly. Obviously, this matter could not be hidden for long, and it would definitely spread among the elders and even the whole Dragon City.

Why did Ao He commit suicide?Was it murder?These questions will have to be answered sooner or later.

Nian Xing propped his forehead, and the young dragon kings below were thinking hard, their faces were very ugly.They thought of all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and the more they thought about it, the more dangerous they felt, and they wished they could be stationed in Xuanyuan Palace from now on, protecting their brothers and nephews from both sides and killing them.

However, after Nianxing calmed down, he felt that this matter might not have much to do with Fuxi from the upper realm.This method is not clever, not even concealed, the purpose is so clear - it is aimed at his child.Fuxi would never have Li Ying's idea until the last moment.Because the most effective period of time has passed.

His eyes were faint, and he thought of the woman who was still in the Luanfeng Palace, which was shaped like a cold palace.If she had such a devious mind, she wouldn't have been caught and locked up by him back then... Could it be Ao Ze?It is true that Hongling is still in Luanfeng Palace, and he has not broken free from his seal, so if Ao Ze wants to vent his anger on his sister, he must consider Hongling's safety.He didn't kill Hong Ling, not because he feared her, but because he disdain her.

"Anyway, big brother," the Red Dragon Wang Zhaoming couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "Those elders must have something wrong! Why don't we arrest them all and torture them separately - we will surely know that Ao He wants to harm the little thing." The reason, maybe, there are fellow party members!!"

The Red Dragon King's voice was loud and full of anger.

Almost at the same time, Nian Xing frowned, felt a slight sound outside the hall, the lively dragon energy seemed to leak out accidentally, and retreated furtively.

"Li Ying, come out!!" he shouted.
