Chapter 144: Emperor Xue Ye Learns the Truth

~8 min read 1,416 words

Inside the Imperial Palace bedchamber, the Chief Eunuch had already given Dugu Bo's Pill to Emperor Xue Ye to consume.

After consuming it, the toxins within Emperor Xue Ye's body were instantly neutralized.

Emperor Xue Ye successfully escaped the torment of the toxins.

"I am truly recovered; this Pill is so miraculous!" Emperor Xue Ye said excitedly.

"Your Majesty is safe and sound!"

The Chief Eunuch knelt on the ground, moved.

"I heard a great commotion outside; what exactly has happened?" Emperor Xue Ye asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, Xue Qinghe has colluded with people from the Spirit Hall and wants to rebel and seize power!"

"The poison in your body was very likely also the work of the Spirit Hall or Xue Qinghe!"

"The Spirit Hall arranged for two Title Douluo to assist Xue Qinghe, and the rest of the Royal Imperial Guard has also rebelled, now sealing off the entire Imperial Palace."

"I brought Poison Douluo here, and he is currently fighting them alone outside, allowing this subordinate to bring the Detoxification Pill to you to consume."

The Chief Eunuch's expression changed as he spoke of Xue Qinghe's affairs.

Because he had already entered, he did not know that Xue Qinghe was an undercover agent for the Spirit Hall, nor did he know that the opponent's martial soul was an Angel martial soul.

However, it did not matter; they would know soon enough.

"What!? It really is him!"

"Xue Qinghe, why would you collude with the Spirit Hall to rebel!"

"You are currently the Crown Prince; when I retire, you will be the Heir Apparent!"

"Why were you so impatient!"

"Now you have ended up in such a state!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye's pupils shook violently, and he was furious.

"Cough, cough."

Because his anger affected his injuries.

The toxins in his body were resolved, but the injuries the toxins had caused to his body had not yet healed, so he coughed up blood.

His whole person slumped weakly on the bed again.

"Your Majesty!" the Chief Eunuch said anxiously: "Please calm your anger; with Poison Elder taking action, he will certainly be able to take them down."

"Now that your toxins have just been cleared, you cannot let anger cause a relapse of your injuries."

The Chief Eunuch was extremely loyal.

"I understand."

"I never thought this unfilial son would be so unworthy; it was truly a waste of all my painstaking efforts!"

"I will strip him of his position as Crown Prince and throw him into the dungeon!"

"Moving forward, which of my sons can I still use? Who else can inherit my position as Heir Apparent?"

Emperor Xue Ye looked blank.

He never expected that the Xue Qinghe he had favored for so many years would be such a vicious person.

It is truly a case of knowing a person's face but not their heart! He is simply a beast in human clothing, a brute! And his other few sons have also died.

"Your Majesty, there is still one person," the Chief Eunuch said.

"Who?"

Emperor Xue Ye asked.

"Xue Beng."

The Chief Eunuch said.

"Xue Beng? That's right, his schemes are also very deep; perhaps he is not as stubborn as he appears."

"Of all my imperial princes, he is the only one left; if he doesn't inherit it, there is truly no one else to choose."

Emperor Xue Ye muttered.

"Emperor Xue Ye, how are you feeling?"

Just at this moment, as a voice rang out, the figure of a middle-aged old man walked in from outside.

Both men looked over; the person who had arrived was none other than Dugu Bo.

Ma Hongjun had not followed him in, but had gone elsewhere to play. "Your Excellency Poison Douluo."

Emperor Xue Ye said.

The Chief Eunuch was also incomparably respectful.

If not for Dugu Bo's help, he would not have been able to enter the Imperial Palace so smoothly to deliver the medicine under the obstruction of two Title Douluo, sparing Emperor Xue Ye from the risk of death.

And he himself would have died at the hands of the two Title Douluo.

"Qinghe, he..." Emperor Xue Ye had a bad feeling.

Dugu Bo said indifferently: "I killed those two Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall; as for Xue Qinghe, he escaped."

"Escaped? How is this possible?" Emperor Xue Ye and the Chief Eunuch's eyes flashed with incredulous light.

Even Title Douluo had been killed, so how could Xue Qinghe, a guy without Title Douluo soul power, escape from the hands of a Super Douluo? Both of them revealed expressions of confusion.

"That person was not Xue Qinghe at all; the real Xue Qinghe died long ago."

"Because that Xue Qinghe's martial soul is a Six-Winged Angel, which is a martial soul that only the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, possessed."

"Emperor Xue Ye, do you understand what I mean?"

Dugu Bo said eerily.

Upon learning this news, Emperor Xue Ye was struck as if by lightning, and he was once again filled with sorrow.

"How could this be? But I didn't notice anything wrong with him at all, nor were there the slightest flaws. I am his father, after all; if there were anything wrong, I would certainly have been able to see it," Emperor Xue Ye said.

"Among the god-level inherited martial souls of the Spirit Hall, the Six-Winged Angel, one of the soul bones in the divine equipment possesses the ability to disguise one's identity. As long as the martial soul is not summoned, there will basically be no changes to one's appearance. I did not expect the other party's ambition to be so great, having someone disguise themselves as Xue Qinghe to poison you, wanting to replace the Heaven Dou Empire and establish the Spirit Empire."

"However, now that their plan of so many years has failed, they certainly will not let it go. One day in the future, they will definitely make a comeback, or directly mobilize all the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall to launch an attack on the Heaven Dou Empire and forcibly replace it!"

Dugu Bo spoke, analyzing the situation logically.

These things were also what he had learned from the Principal, Ma Hongjun.

Moreover, just a moment ago, his Phoenix Eyes had also seen through the true identity of Xue Qinghe; she was actually a very beautiful golden-haired girl.

After learning of this situation, he himself was also very surprised.

He did not expect that the person disguised as a man was a woman! He did not inform the other party of this news.

"Then why did he run away?"

"This shouldn't be."

The desperate Emperor Xue Ye felt as if the whole world was about to abandon him.

Now, he was anxious.

If the Spirit Hall really made a comeback and tore off the mask to attack the royal family, then they would all be in danger.

It was impossible for Dugu Bo to protect him by his side at all times.

Strength! His own strength was still too weak!

"The Six-Winged Angel martial soul is extremely fast, and with two Title Douluo using their lives to stall, naturally, they ran away. Moreover, Your Majesty's injuries are more important than that fellow's, so I came to check on you first." Dugu Bo spoke nonsense very calmly.

"So that's how it is. I am grateful for your concern, Your Excellency Poison Douluo. From now on, our country will enter a state of highest alert." Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath: "You go and have someone call Xue Beng back for me later."

Afterward, he looked at the Chief Eunuch.

"Yes." The Chief Eunuch nodded.

"Take this Pill; it can allow your internal injuries to recover quickly."

Afterward, Dugu Bo took out a Pill and handed it to Emperor Xue Ye.

"Many thanks. Our Heaven Dou Empire will remember this kindness!" Emperor Xue Ye took it and ate it directly.

He did not even consider whether it was poisonous.

After all, he was someone who had already walked through the gates of hell once.

Moreover, this was a Super Douluo; it would be very easy to kill him.

"Can I request that the Phoenix Academy arrange for people to be stationed in the imperial palace to protect my safety?"

Emperor Xue Ye lowered his posture and said.

"What about the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Dugu Bo did not agree directly.
