Chapter 112: Chasing a Wife is a Bit Difficult
Emperor Xuanyuan's expression became increasingly ugly. He knew very well that although his third prince Xuanyuan Yu had great ambitions, he did not have the corresponding strength and talent to support them.
He didn't believe at all that the demons that appeared everywhere in the empire were his work. It seemed that the demon clan had already started planning behind the scenes, and the situation was not optimistic.
"I never thought that my third prince would actually do something like colluding with the demons. It is extremely disappointing. I will also give him a severe punishment. Our royal family will not disappoint the people of the world on this point."
When the Song family ancestor heard this, he shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty, do you know what happened to the Luo family in the imperial capital a few days ago?"
"I just heard that all the masters and servants of the Luo family disappeared overnight. The specific reason is still unclear." Emperor Xuanyuan shook his head and said.
"I don't know since when all the more than 100 people in the Luo family turned into demons. They were taken away by a group of black-clothed men whose strength was at the Mo level. We are still tracking down their specific destinations. I guess they were sent to various places in the imperial capital."
"What? They all turned into demons?" Emperor Xuanyuan was so shocked by the news that he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.
"Yes. As for whether the Third Prince is involved in this, I'd like to trouble Emperor Xuanyuan to ask him carefully. However, when the Luo family got into trouble, the Third Prince should have been on his way back to the imperial capital."
Although she disliked the third prince, some things still needed to be clarified.
Emperor Xuanyuan nodded in agreement after hearing what the Song family ancestor said. He also didn't want the catastrophe of Qianming Continent to have nothing to do with his third prince, but it was a fact that he colluded with the demons to kill the king and seize the throne.
But the consequences of these two things are different after all, and they really need to be questioned. So, he looked at Xuanyuan Lei, "Lei'er, you should go and ask that evil creature carefully what he did, and the people who have been following him."
Only after hearing what Emperor Xuanyuan said did Xuanyuan Lei withdraw his attention from Luo Qingran. He quickly stood up, agreed, and left the side hall.
At this time, Xuanyuan Yu had already been pressed into the Heavenly Prison by the Imperial Guards. He was only a peak Green Rank, and those guarding the Heavenly Prison did not take him seriously. However, the Emperor had not issued any orders, so Xuanyuan Yu was only imprisoned.
But when Xuanyuan Lei entered the Heavenly Prison and came to the place where Xuanyuan Yu was imprisoned, he found that Xuanyuan Yu had lifeless eyes and was sitting on the floor of the prison motionless.
When the guard in Xuanyuan Leimingtian Prison opened the cell door and squatted in front of Xuanyuan Yu, he found that Xuanyuan Yu had no reaction at all. However, he found the same dark red in Xuanyuan Yu's eyes as his own.
Xuanyuan Lei grabbed Xuanyuan Yu's shoulders and shook him, but Xuanyuan Yu didn't react at all. His eyes were empty and lifeless, and even after being shaken hard, there was no change.
Although he already knew at this time that the dark red in the eyes was the mark of being planted with the magic poison, because his current strength was not as good as Ranran, the woman named Mei Niang fell into Wei Changgeng's hands.
Even if he wanted Mei Niang to hand over the method to remove the evil poison, he was powerless.
Xuanyuan Lei felt extremely frustrated at this time, especially because he didn't want to lose to Wei Changgeng. Although he still didn't understand why he was going to marry Luo Qingran in his previous life, why was he struck to death by thunder. But in this life, he wanted to pursue his Ranran again, and would never give his woman to Wei Changgeng.
In his previous life, he and Ranran had already been husband and wife. So what if Wei Changgeng and Ranran were engaged? They would still be thousands of miles away on the day of their wedding.
Although his strength is really weak at this moment, fortunately his strength is not much different from Ranran's at this moment. If they can ascend to Tianxuan together, and Ranran is used to having him accompany her all the way, then that would be a different matter.
Humph, Wei Changgeng, you just passed by a beautiful lady in your last life, but I actually had her. You will also miss out on a beautiful lady in this life!
Xuanyuan Lei looked at the dumbfounded Xuanyuan Yu again, pushed him to the ground with disdain, and left the prison. This trip was a waste of time. He felt very indignant when he thought about asking Wei Changgeng for help after returning.
When he returned to the side hall of the imperial study, he saw a man in black in the hall. He was the one who had just taken Mei Niang away. He stood in front of everyone and reported the results of the interrogation of Mei Niang.
In fact, several important families in the demon clan had gradually disappeared from the world when the demon lord was replaced. Wei Changgeng could roughly guess what Mei Niang had done, so he did not hold out much hope.
But why he still wanted to sit here and drink tea with Qian Ming and others, probably only he and Xuanyuan Lei who just returned knew the answer.
At this time, Luo Qingran was sitting alone beside the ancestor of the Song family, not drinking tea or talking, just sitting there looking like she was thinking about something. She didn't even notice the glances Wei Changgeng cast at her from time to time.
Xuanyuan Lei walked in front of everyone and bowed, then said, "Father, I just went to the prison and saw that my third brother had a dull look in his eyes. He had no reaction to anything in the outside world. I also found that my third brother had been poisoned by a magic poison. I would like to ask Dean Wei if he has any good advice."
Xuanyuan Lei gritted his teeth a bit when he mentioned "Dean Wei", and it sounded like Wei Changgeng was in a good mood.
"The one who tied the bell must untie it. I'm afraid Mei Niang will have to come here to remove the magic poison. However, the magic poison belongs to the demon clan after all, and it can affect the mind. It's not clear whether the third prince can recover as before."
After Wei Changgeng finished speaking, he glanced at Xuanyuan Lei who had an unhappy look on his face, and thought to himself: He must ask Mei Niang to restore the Third Prince to his original state, so that this kid can be busy and don't have to always appear in front of Ranran to show his presence.
"Alas, although the demon this time was not instigated by that evildoer, he is still wrong. I only have three sons, and I can't bear to lose any of them. I hope Dean Wei can help me more."
Although Emperor Xuanyuan kept cursing Xuanyuan Yu in his heart, he was one of his few sons after all. Even if the demon had nothing to do with him and the regicide was possibly caused by the influence of the magic poison, wrong was wrong. I hope he can learn a lesson from his lustful nature after this incident.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is your Xuanyuan royal family's business. It is not convenient for me to interfere. When the time comes, I will have someone bring Mei Niang to remove the magic poison, but I will still take her away. After all, she is from the Tianxuan Demon Clan."
Wei Changgeng didn't want to care about Qian Ming's affairs. The main reason he came this time was to wait for Ranran to ascend and take her to Tianxuan to save him from running back and forth between the two continents. He also had a lot of things to do in Tianxuan.
If it wasn't for the need to get his own body back as soon as possible, he wouldn't have wanted Xuanyuan Lei to recover his memories of his previous life and cause trouble for himself.
There is also Xuanyuan Lei. Since he is the young master of the Demon Realm, he will help him and let him ascend to Tianxuan as soon as possible and throw him directly into the Demon Realm, so that he can out of sight and out of mind.
After Wei Changgeng complained inwardly, he stood up and told the black-clothed man how to remove the magic poison for the third prince, and then he left the palace with the Song family ancestor and others. Xuanyuan Lei could only sigh regretfully as he watched Luo Qingran and their backs gradually walk away.
"Why, you can't bear to leave?" Emperor Xuanyuan looked meaningfully at Xuanyuan Lei who was standing there.
Hearing his father's words, Xuanyuan Lei immediately came back to his senses and replied with a wry smile: "Father, Luo Qingran is incredibly talented. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for me to pursue my wife."
"Hahaha, you are born noble and royal, and the setbacks you have suffered are just a part of your life." Emperor Xuanyuan stood up and walked in front of Xuanyuan Lei, raising his hand to pat his son who was worthy of his pride, "When you ascend to Tianxuan, it will be like a fish entering the sea. In the future, there will be a wider sky for you to roam. If the two of you are destined to be together, you will naturally come together."
Xuanyuan Lei looked at his father's eyes that were flashing with loving care, and he treasured this father's love even more in his heart. He calmed himself down, smiled and nodded to his father.
"As for your third brother, ah!"
Xuanyuan Lei could see that his father was quite good to their few children, but what his third younger brother had done in recent years really disappointed his father.
But he knew that his father mentioned Xuanyuan Yu at this time because he didn't want to punish him too severely, but he didn't want to make him unhappy. So Xuanyuan Lei said with a smile: "Father, although the third prince was planted with the magic poison and made a big mistake, it was not his own will. Why don't you take the trouble to teach him well after this time? I think the third prince will definitely appreciate your kindness and change his ways."
"Okay, okay!" Emperor Xuanyuan felt comforted after hearing Xuanyuan Lei's words, "You can go down first. Remember to get along well with Dean Wei. You will have to rely on him in the future."
"Yes, I understand. Father, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Xuanyuan Lei saluted solemnly.
"Go." Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Xuanyuan Lei's back as he walked out of the side hall door. It had been a long time since anyone in the Qianming family had been able to ascend to Tianxuan. If someone from the royal family could go to the upper realm to develop, there would be no need to worry about the royal family's status being shaken for at least a few hundred years in the future.
He thought again of some of the small actions of the Lei family some time ago, and his brows furrowed deeply.
