Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 132 Exposed
"Someone, please take Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng down."

"Prince, please stop making trouble. Only Crown Prince Xue Qinghe can lead the Tiandou Empire now."

"Xue Xing, you are slandering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you want to betray the Tiandou Empire?"

People belonging to Xue Qinghe's faction began to make a move. Xue Ye was in a coma. Xue Beng was only a teenager and was hanging around in brothels. He was really not fit to be an emperor. The ministers and generals had no more choices.

There were also several ministers who had invested all their fortunes in Xue Qinghe and tried to gain credit for being his successors. They directly turned their spearheads onto Xue Beng, saying that he was crazy about wanting to become emperor.

Xue Qinghe, who was sitting beside the throne, looked at this scene and felt very satisfied. This was the best proof of the effectiveness of his more than ten years of lurking.

However, when he saw the Fourth Prince Xue Beng standing steadily next to Prince Xue Xing, he couldn't help but mutter, why did this dandy boy look so calm today.

Based on his previous impression of this fake brother, he should be hiding behind Xue Xing now.

"My fellow ministers and generals, please be patient. You are all the pillars of our Tiandou Empire. Don't quarrel over such a small matter. Maybe Brother Xue Beng was just confused for a moment.

Our most important task now is to stabilize the morale of the army and people of the Tiandou Empire and minimize the impact of my father's coma."

"The prince is wise."

"Your Highness is right. Let's do it right away."

Amid the compliments of the crowd, Xue Qinghe left first without even looking at the uncle and nephew Xue Xing standing in the main hall.

He would not argue with them. In today's Tiandou Empire, from civil and military ministers to major clans and families to ordinary people, everyone knew that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was countless times better than Xue Beng.

The more you argue, the more guilty you appear. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Maybe these two uncle and nephew will find some loophole and turn the tables on you.

Xue Xing watched Xue Qinghe leave in despair, shouting non-stop, and was then asked to leave by the generals who surrounded him, and was placed under house arrest along with Xue Beng.

Xue Xing, whose mouth was covered, felt very sad. Perhaps all he could rely on now was the rumors he had sent his followers to spread before entering the palace. That was his last hope.

Standing in front of the crowd, Marshal Gelong, who had rushed back because Emperor Xue Ye was unconscious, looked at the scene in silence, with mixed feelings in his mind. It seemed that this Crown Prince, whom he was not very familiar with, had too much power.

Emperor Xue Ye is just unconscious, not dead, but these ministers are acting like this, eager to clear the obstacles ahead for Xue Qinghe. Aren’t they a little too impatient?

Although Golong is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces with poor command ability, he still has some political acumen.

Even though only Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing are under house arrest now, maybe in the future when Xue Qinghe takes complete power, he will take away his position as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and replace it with his own confidants.

Xue Beng's coming to power seems to be more in line with the interests of these powerful officials than Xue Qinghe? An idea arose in Ge Long's mind.

What Prince Xuexing said just now was true. In order to ascend the throne, Xue Qinghe not only poisoned his brothers, but now he is also assassinating his father.

After thinking about it, Marshal Ge Long chose to give up supporting Xue Beng to take the throne. The Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire were eyeing them covetously, and the current Tiandou Empire could no longer withstand any turmoil.

However, this idea has taken root in his heart, waiting for an opportunity, and it will sprout and grow into a towering tree. Xu Mingxi brought Dugu Bo to Tiandou City and went directly to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Soon Ning Fengzhi came to greet them in person and took them to the reception room.

He had already seen signs of chaos in Tiandou City. Most people had worry on their faces. Regardless of whether they supported Xue Qinghe or not, the fall of Emperor Xue Ye was a huge blow to the Tiandou Empire.

Even when Xu Mingxi just arrived in Tiandou City, he heard people talking about how the current Tiandou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was willing to kill his own relatives for the throne, and that allowing such a cruel person to take the throne would do more harm than good to the Tiandou Empire.

There were many people who said so. Xu Mingxi told Ning Fengzhi about this matter. After they thought about it, they guessed that it was most likely Prince Xuexing's doing.

"It seems that our Prince Xuexing has no other options and has come up with such a stupid move."

Ning Fengzhi sat in a chair and sipped the tea in his hand leisurely. Regardless of whether Prince Xuexing's move was effective or not, the prestige of the Tiandou royal family would decline, which was really not very clever.

He put down the teacup and looked at Xu Mingxi. He had only invited Dugu Bo, but now this guy from Xingguan Sect came along, he must have his own purpose.

He must determine the Xingguan Sect's position in this incident. This matter concerns the situation of the entire Tiandou Empire and even the continent, and there must be no carelessness.

"Xingchen Douluo came here this time, is there anything that requires the assistance of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Master Ning, you are too polite. I came here just to ask you a question."

"But it doesn't matter."

"As far as I know, there are no Titled Douluo in the Tiandou Imperial Family. But why did the elders of my Xingguan Sect see two Titled Douluo following Crown Prince Xue Qinghe some time ago? I wonder if Sect Master Ning can answer this question for me."

After the beast tide, Xu Mingxi was conferred the title of Star Douluo by the Spirit Hall and was hailed as the continent's number one genius, in an attempt to arouse the fear of other forces.

As soon as he asked the question, Ning Fengzhi's face changed instantly. This statement was very clear, telling him clearly that there was something wrong with the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Ning Fengzhi thought of his previous suspicions, and his worries became stronger. After he became the prince's teacher, the cooperation between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tiandou Empire became closer. It can be said that if there was a problem with Tiandou, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would also be seriously damaged.

"Xingchen Douluo, can you guarantee that what you said is true? I wonder who those two Titled Douluos your elders saw are."

He looked at Xu Mingxi, his voice trembling, trying to get an answer from him that he could accept. Perhaps the two people with titles were just casual cultivators invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"The two Titled Douluo that the elder saw were called Thorny Pig and Snake Spear. Have you ever heard of them, Sect Master Ning?"

With a clang, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. Ning Fengzhi sat on the chair in a daze.

Of course he had heard of them. These were the only Titled Douluo on the continent. Basic information on most of them was available in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Thorny Porpoise and Snake Spear were both from the Spirit Hall.

Bone Douluo, who was sitting next to him, even opened his eyes wide in shock. He had met Xue Qinghe many times before, but he had never seen him have any contact with anyone from the Spirit Hall.
