Chapter 66 The arrow is on the string
After seeing Xue Ye, Xue Yu did not leave immediately, nor did he turn his face away. Instead, he was very enthusiastic.
"Brother." He walked over and bowed to Xue Ye with a smile.
"Second brother." Xue Ye also responded with a smile. To others, the two brothers seemed to have a very good relationship, but in fact, they had become strangers.
All this enthusiasm is just superficial. After all, this is the imperial palace, and they still have to put on a show for the emperor.
After saying hello, Xue Yu's gaze lingered on Di Hong for a moment, but Di Hong still noticed it after just a moment.
The moment he turned around, Xue Yu frowned slightly.
Xue Ye is protected by Di Hong, so it is not easy to kill him. He is also wondering why Xue Ye came to the palace at this time. Could it be that he noticed something and came here?
But soon, he dispelled his doubts. His plan was very secretive, and those involved in the planning were all his confidants. Now everything was ready. The only drawback was that the people sent to the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom had not returned yet, and he didn't know what the attitude of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom was.
Now that the arrow is on the string, he has to shoot.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If you have decided to do it, be firm and never give up halfway.
When he arrived at the bedroom, Di Hong did not go in, but waited outside.
Looking around, he found that the guards in the depths of the palace were even more strict than those outside. He sensed the auras of nearly ten Soul Emperor-level soul masters, as well as two Soul Sages and a Soul Douluo. It would not be easy to assassinate the emperor.
Even if you are a Titled Douluo, it may not be possible to accomplish it.
And there are not only soul masters, but also patrolling guards and royal knights everywhere. Not even a fly can fly in.
He could clearly feel that several pairs of eyes were secretly staring at him, and they had been staring at him since he came in.
While waiting outside, the sound of the emperor coughing violently could be heard from the bedroom from time to time, and Di Hong could even smell the odor of medicine.
After a long time, Xue Ye and Xue Yu came out together.
"Brother, I'm going back first."
"Yeah." Xue Ye nodded slightly.
After Xue Yu left, the smile on Xue Ye's face disappeared.
"Second brother thinks the same as us."
"The second prince is also going to mobilize troops?" Di Hong was a little surprised. He guessed it right. Xue Yu was indeed going to mobilize troops when he entered the palace.
Xue Ye said, "That's right. My second brother is also going to mobilize the Imperial Guards to go out for training. There are a total of 30,000 people, and he will go there in person."
"This intention is too obvious, Your Majesty agrees?"
"Yes." Xue Ye sighed.
When they were in the bedroom, he and Xue Yu both proposed to mobilize troops for training. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed to let Xue Yu take the troops out for training.
Di Hong frowned. Could it be that the emperor couldn't see it so obvious? How did he serve as the emperor for decades?
Logically speaking, the emperor should have been able to see it. Could he have done it on purpose?
This idea was soon confirmed. Just after leaving the palace, he received news that several generals had entered the palace, including the commander of the Royal Knights. It was obvious that the emperor also saw that Xue Yu was going to rebel, and agreeing to let Xue Yu take his troops away was also giving him a chance.
If he finished training the troops safely and came back, there would be nothing wrong with handing over the military power. But if there was a real rebellion, he would have no choice but to give it up with reluctance. After all, compared to the throne, his son was nothing.
Anyway, he has three sons.
After returning to the Earl's Mansion.
Tang Yuehua was practicing the piano in the garden. Although he and Xue Ye were close, there were basically no guests coming to the Earl's Mansion, mainly because they were not familiar with the place. He was happy with it as he wanted some peace and quiet.
Standing outside the pavilion, listening to the beautiful piano music coming from the pavilion, Di Hong did not make a sound to disturb her.
After the song was over, the beauty in the pavilion noticed that Di Hong had returned.
"When did you come back?" "Just came back." Di Hong walked into the pavilion.
After sitting down, Tang Yuehua naturally poured him a cup of tea. Although she had not lived there for a long time, she was almost like the hostess of the Earl's Mansion. Everyone knew that she and Di Hong had a special relationship, which was definitely not a normal relationship between a man and a woman.
So Meng Yuan and the others obeyed Tang Yuehua's words. After all, no one knew when Tang Yuehua would become their mistress.
He took a sip of tea, the fragrance of green tea bloomed in his mouth, leaving a refreshing aftertaste. After all, he had the title of earl in the empire, and what he enjoyed was far beyond what ordinary people could enjoy, and he was now deeply trusted by Xue Ye.
I often delivered things to the Earl's Mansion on snowy nights.
For example, the tea he is drinking now does not taste bitter but leaves a long aftertaste.
Looking at Tang Yuehua who was looking at him with a smile, Di Hong suddenly felt emotional.
"Sometimes, having a mistress in the house is not a bad thing."
"Then you should go to Haotian Sect and propose marriage as soon as possible." Tang Yuehua did not avoid this matter and said it very directly. There is no need to avoid such things.
She can't wait.
Di Hong shook his head: "No hurry, no hurry, I'm only fourteen years old, and you're only fourteen years old too."
"We are still children after all."
"It's too early to talk about this now."
Tang Yuehua didn't think it was too early: "We can settle things first."
"Father and the elders of the sect have always wanted to meet you. They have always heard of you but have never met you, and you are not going to the Haotian Sect."
"I'm afraid if I go there, your sect's people will hit me with sledgehammers."
"Why did they swing a sledgehammer at you? You have no conflict with them." Tang Yuehua looked at him in confusion.
Di Hong pointed at her.
"I'm going to kidnap you, do you think they'll stop hitting me with a sledgehammer?"
"Especially Sect Leader Tang, you are his sweetheart. How can he be happy if he raises you with so much effort and then lets pigs eat you?"
Tang Yuehua couldn't help but laughed with her hands covering her mouth, her gem-like eyes full of smiles.
"What are you talking about? You are talking about a cabbage being eaten by a pig. How can you say that about yourself?"
“Don’t worry, my father is not as irritable as you think, and the elders of the sect are not what you think. You don’t have to be afraid to go to Haotian Sect.”
"Then I'll go when I have the chance in the future." Di Hong doesn't have the time to go to Haotian Sect now.
"By the way, I suggest you not go to the hunting competition."
At the hunting conference, Xue Yu would definitely rebel. Tang Yuehua is not a soul master and she is a girl. If something goes wrong, it would be difficult to explain. He also cannot be with her all the time to protect her.
"Did something happen?" Tang Yuehua looked a little solemn.
Di Hong told her this, something must have happened at the hunting conference.
Di Hong did not hide it: "The Second Prince might rebel, and on the day of the hunting meeting."
"The second prince is going to rebel!" Tang Yuehua was shocked. This was a big deal.
"Do you need my help? If so, I can write a letter to my father. With the Haotian Sect here, it will be easy to put down the rebellion."
"No need, we are ready." Di Hong waved his hand. There was no need for the Haotian Sect to get involved in this matter.
