Chapter 1456: The Empress's Heart
owever, this situation for the prince...was definitely bad news.He was very clear that if he couldn't quickly deal with the bone snake in front of him, then... other forces would arrive.Then things wi..."No, no need..." Cangyu hurriedly climbed to her feet. 。The Empress and Emperor stood up, Cang Yu immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet their gaze. 。Every time he looked at God's eyes, he felt like he was being seen through and through, that nothing he hid could escape his gaze. 。Even if my thoughts were seen through, it wouldn't matter. 。But now... if their relationship with Fang Yu was discovered, it would be over! "Cangyu, look up..." 。Then, the Emperor and Empress spoke. 。
Cang Yu's heart jolted violently, her body trembling. 。Whatever happens, it's bound to happen!Cangyu still lowered her head, not daring to look up 。But at that moment, the Empress extended her left hand, lightly lifting his chin with two fingers. 。
Cang Yu had no choice but to raise her head. 。But his gaze, still dared not meet the Empress's. 。"
"Cangyu, are you also going to Tiannan Mountain Range today to compete for the Cangtian Overbearing Body" 。“The empress spoke in a calm tone, “Although you weren't directly involved, I want to know... your feelings.” 。"What do you feel" Cangyu was now extremely nervous, completely clueless about the meaning behind the Emperor and Empress's question. 。
"Feel free to express your feelings, about anything you like" 。The emperor's face behind the veil, seemed to have a smile. 。"I... I'm just very afraid." 。"Cang Yu swallowed nervously and replied truthfully." 。"Afraid Of what" the Empress asked. 。"Scared, scared of death!" Cangyu replied. 。
"Since you didn't directly participate in the fighting, why are you afraid of death" The Empress continued. 。They...they are too strong, even watching could get you injured. 。"Cangyu replied," 。That's right. 。The Empress and Emperor nodded slightly and said, “Those without sufficient strength are not even qualified to spectate.” 。Changyu didn't speak, only dodging the Empress Dowager's gaze constantly. 。"Cangyu, you've experienced this feeling firsthand, you should feel ashamed, shouldn't you" the Empress asked. 。
Cangyu did not speak. 。In fact, when he first fought against Fang Yu and lost, having his silver furnace taken away and being controlled at the same time, he truly felt incredibly humiliated. 。However, Fang Yu continued to showcase his exaggerated strength. 。To this day, even Guangchen, who had merged with the Cangtian Badi, was not Fang Yu's opponent....
So what did he have to be ashamed of
Within the royal family, Cangyu's strength had always been at the bottom... Even Cangrong and Guangchen, who were among the best, were defeated by Fang Yu. He really didn't have anything to be ashamed of. 。Fang Yu's strength has already surpassed all the princes by a dimension. 。But that's what he was thinking, though Cang Yu couldn't say it directly. 。He knows his mother very well. 。Since mother asked that, she must want a positive answer. 。So, Cang Yu could only reply, "Yes, I feel ashamed." 。"
To feel shame is a good thing" 。“From today onwards, mother will help you wash away this disgrace,” the Empress said softly, her left hand gently stroking Cangyu’s cheek. 。Upon hearing this, Cang Yu was stunned. 。The Empress... what does she really want to do
"Cao Rong... has been deposed" 。Then, the Emperor and Empress spoke, their voices suddenly turning cold. 。But he was defeated by his lack of brains and insufficient strength, so being deposed was only natural. 。The Empress said coldly, 。
Cangyu dared not speak. 。From now on, I will put all the resources that were originally going to Cang Rong into you. 。"The Empress and Emperor's eyes were fixed on the jade before them. In a soft voice, the Empress spoke, “Grand Celestial Master, he will also become your mentor, accepting you as his disciple and helping you increase your strength.” 。“
Cang Yu… is completely stunned at the moment.” 。My demands aren't high, for the next three sacred fruits... you at least have to obtain two of them. 。The Empress Dowager said again: 。。"Both I and Da Chongtian will help you" 。The empress said calmly, "The sacred fruit must be obtained by you." 。"Mother, I…" Cang Yu's face was pale, wanting to speak. 。
"Cao Yu, with that feeling of shame... strive to improve your strength. " 。The Empress turned around and said coldly, "The trend of the times is unstoppable. If you don't make progress, death awaits you." 。"
Becoming the Crown Prince is your only way out." 。Upon hearing this, Cang Yu felt a chill run down her spine. 。"Cangrong was stripped of his title, Guangchen died, and the remaining heirs in line for succession pose no threat." 。“The Empress said, ‘Child, your mother has already paved the path for you. You just need to follow it… there will be no accidents.’” 。"
Cangyu looked at the empress's back, speechless. " 。Speaking of which, we have to thank that human cultivator Fang Yu... If he hadn't intervened, there wouldn't be such a perfect way to eliminate Guangchen. 。“His appearance gave us a perfect opportunity,” the empress said, turning back to him. 。At that moment, Cang Yu looked at the Empress, as if he saw the terrifying phantom he had seen before! That face, it seemed to appear under the empress's veil, grinning at him. 。
Cao Yu's jade body trembled violently, almost collapsing to the ground. 。"Cang Yu, please don't let Mother down." 。“I certainly don't want to spend time nurturing another emperor… It’s such a waste of time.” 。After finishing her words, the Empress's figure rippled like water and slowly faded away. 。The Grand Celestial Master will arrive at your palace very soon. You must obey all its commands and arrangements, and strive to increase your strength as quickly as possible. 。Although her figure became blurred, the Empress's voice still echoed in the palace, "The next sacred fruit will appear soon." 。After the last word was spoken, the Emperor and Empress vanished completely within the palace. 。
Cangyu stood on the spot, only feeling a chill run down her spine. 。He only just realized…The Empress’s thoughts. 。"To kill Guangchen and make him the crown prince... isn't this going against the Emperor's will!" Cangyu's heart pounded wildly. 。
Last time Fang Yu gave him a sacred fruit, asking him to bring it back and take credit for it. 。
And surprisingly, he really became a candidate for the crown prince. 。He originally thought it was because of the sacred fruit. 。Now it seems the Empress and Emperor had always intended to elevate him to this position, as a backup for Cang Rong. 。That sacred fruit, it just happened to coincide with the Empress's plans...
Now that Cang Rong is truly in trouble, the Empress pushes Cang Yu forward as a replacement, continuing to do what she wants!
"Mother... what exactly are you trying to do Kill Guang Chen and make me the Crown Prince... That's what she wants!" Cang Yu's heart pounded faster and faster, his forehead covered in sweat 。He had a vague awareness of what the Emperor and Empress wanted to do. 。But... he couldn't believe it, nor could he understand!
Why... would the Emperor and Empress do this!
However, there was no way to get an answer to this question, nor was it particularly important. 。Right now, the most important thing is that Cangyu realizes she is in extremely dangerous circumstances. 。Anything the emperor and empress conspired about, if even a whisper leaked out, he would be finished. 。But if he really takes the throne of the crown prince, he will have to see the emperor frequently, it will be hard not to reveal his true identity!
But if he disobeys the empress's order, death is still his only option. 。Whether it was the emperor or the empress, if they found Fang Yu's mark in Cang Yu's body, and thus knew about their relationship... that would be death on top of death! "It's over, completely over..." Cang Yu collapsed to the ground, staring blankly ahead, filled with despair. 。relaxed a little.It seems that Lord Xuanbing was well-prepared.But, that's not enough!"Master Xuan Bing, we must inform the Heavenly Pavilion and ask them to send reinforcements..." the elder transmit...
