Douluo: Marry Shui Binger, reward Puni Martial Soul

Chapter 48 Chapter 48: Emperor Xue Ye is expelled, and the Xue Lingxiao Lion opens his mouth!
In the imperial study, Emperor Xue Ye frowned when he heard the news that Ning Fengzhi and her daughter had come out of Xue Lingxiao's mansion, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was the backing he had chosen for the Crown Prince. Ning Fengzhi's move made it hard for him not to suspect that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wanted to find someone else to support!
But the more this happens, the less likely Emperor Xue Ye will pass the throne to Xue Lingxiao. He doesn't want the next Emperor Tiandou to become a puppet of the soul master sect!
Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can’t do that!
"I have ordered the Fifth Prince to go to Frost Province immediately. He is not allowed to enter the Imperial City without my permission."

Emperor Xue Ye ordered his attendants in a cold voice. He had originally planned to send Xue Lingxiao to Frost Province after the Soul Master Competition.

But Xue Lingxiao was too eccentric and even wanted to unite with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

In this case, don't blame him as the father for being cruel.

Whether Xue Lingxiao is willing or not, he must leave the imperial city and stay away from the throne. Even if he divides the land and establishes a kingdom, Emperor Xue Ye will agree.

"Your Majesty, the Soul Master Competition will be held tomorrow. If you allow the Fifth Prince to leave the Imperial City at this time, no one from the Tiandou Academy will participate."

The attendant couldn't help but remind Emperor Xue Ye.

Xue Lingxiao slaughtered the entire first team of Tiandou Royal Academy, and he was the leader of the second team. If Xue Lingxiao were to be expelled from Tiandou City now, it would be difficult for Tiandou Academy to get a good ranking in the Soul Master Competition this time!

"Humph! Tiandou Academy has been destroyed by him now. Does it matter whether or not we get a place in the Soul Master Competition?"

Emperor Xue Ye snorted lightly. He also regretted that he had so hastily handed over the power of the academy to Xue Lingxiao.

Everyone thought Xue Lingxiao would reform the Tiandou Royal Academy bit by bit in a gradual manner, but unexpectedly he would start a massacre, slaughtering nearly 90% of the academy teachers and even the three major education committee members.

Now, Tiandou Royal Academy has become an empty shell, and years of training have been burned to ashes!
If Xue Lingxiao was not his son, if Xue Lingxiao did not have the support of a Titled Douluo, Emperor Xue Ye would have handed him over to those nobles long ago.

Upon hearing this, the attendant knew that Emperor Xue Ye had made up his mind to expel Xue Lingxiao, so he had no choice but to leave the imperial study and head to the prince's mansion with the intention of dying.

…………

"Your Highness, this is His Majesty's will. Look..."

In the prince's mansion, the attendant tremblingly told Xue Lingxiao the order of Emperor Xue Ye. He lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at the young prince's expression.

Xue Lingxiao remained silent, like the calm sea, and the hall fell into deathly silence.

Suddenly, a pair of tender hands as white as jade were placed on Xue Lingxiao's temples, pressing gently to soothe the young prince's emotions.

"Your Highness understands His Majesty's intention. You may return and report."

Madam Mingzhu opened her mouth slightly and asked the attendants to leave in a gentle voice.

The attendant showed gratitude to Madam Mingzhu and quickly retreated, not daring to stay for even a moment.

Feeling the relaxation of his cerebral cortex, Xue Lingxiao's depression dissipated a lot, but he was still very unhappy and dissatisfied!

The young prince sneered, "Hahaha~ You just crowned me king yesterday, and today you can't wait to send me to my fiefdom. Are you so afraid that I will threaten the crown prince's position and take the throne?"

Originally, according to Xue Lingxiao's plan, he was to confront Qian Renxue and force her to take action in advance.

It just so happened that the attention of the entire continent was focused on the Soul Master Competition, which gave Qian Renxue enough time, definitely enough for her to take action against Emperor Xue Ye.

At that time, Xue Lingxiao will take advantage of the situation to expel Qian Renxue, and then he will be able to ascend to the throne of Tiandou.

The reason why Xue Lingxiao went through so much trouble was simply to justify himself.

But no one expected that Emperor Xue Ye was so confused. In order to consolidate the position of the crown prince, he first made him a king and then expelled him, and even did not allow him to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

Since Emperor Xue Ye plays it this way, don’t blame him for going to Xuanwu Gate to inherit the law!

"Your Highness, don't be angry. Although Emperor Xue Ye is confused, in my opinion, this is a good thing." Madam Mingzhu lowered her head and leaned close to Xue Lingxiao's ear, breathing sweetly as she expressed her views.

Xue Lingxiao: "Oh, tell me about it."

"Your Highness, Emperor Xue Ye is wary of you. He believes the forces you support are too mysterious and uncontrollable, and he fears you are just a puppet. Therefore, he wants to expel you to ensure the stability of the throne and prevent it from falling into the hands of others."

"And your goal from the beginning to the end has been to legitimately sit on the Tiandou throne. That's why you didn't tell Emperor Xue Ye that the Crown Prince had already been replaced. You wanted to wait for the fake Crown Prince to harm Emperor Xue Ye before you could intervene and turn the tide."

"You just need to wait. In that case, whether you go to the fiefdom or participate in the Soul Master Competition is not important. On the contrary, going to the fiefdom will reassure Emperor Xue Ye, thus giving the pseudo-crown prince more opportunities to strike."

"It won't be too late to take action after the fake prince succeeds. By then, the life and death of Emperor Xue Ye will be in your hands, and you will be able to ascend to the throne smoothly."

Madam Mingzhu carefully analyzed the pros and cons of leaving the imperial city. Now, all the nobles in Tiandou City regard Xue Lingxiao as a thorn in their side. No noble wants him to sit on the throne, nor will they support him to sit on it.

Instead of waiting in an environment full of opponents and hostility, it is better to go to a new place under your own control, enjoy it and wait for the opportunity to come.

Hearing this, Xue Lingxiao felt that Madam Mingzhu was right.

Whether in Tiandou City or somewhere else, it makes no difference to Xue Lingxiao.

If we make a small concession in exchange for everyone letting down their guard, then leaving Tiandou City would not be a bad idea.

But Xue Lingxiao didn't want to leave just like that.

It won’t work if Emperor Xue Ye doesn’t pay a price!
Immediately, Xue Lingxiao asked Madam Mingzhu to prepare the carriage.

The carriage drove out of the prince's mansion and soon arrived at the palace gate. Xue Lingxiao went straight into the palace and came to the imperial study to meet Emperor Xue Ye.

Emperor Xue Ye was not surprised to see Xue Lingxiao coming. He had already expected it and was even prepared to turn against Xue Lingxiao.

"Since you have already accepted my order, why are you still looking for me?"

In response to Emperor Xue Ye's question, Xue Lingxiao said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this is a bit too harsh on me. First you crowned me a king, then expelled me. Are you so worried that I might compete with the Crown Prince for the throne?"

Emperor Xue Ye frowned: "The Crown Prince is the heir apparent, and the throne is destined to belong to him. Don't overthink it."

"Okay, since Father is so partial to the Crown Prince and wants to drive me out of Tiandou City, what if I refuse? Are you going to send the army to drive me out?"

Xue Lingxiao questioned Emperor Xue Ye. Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye knew that his youngest son would not give up unless he paid a price.

Then, Emperor Xue Ye asked in return: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Your son only wants two things: the autonomy of the Frost Province Kingdom, and the Vast Sea Universe Cover."

"No!" Faced with Xue Lingxiao's loud request, Emperor Xue Ye refused without thinking.

Emperor Xue Ye can give the kingdom autonomy of Frost Province. He took this into consideration when he assigned Frost Province to Xue Lingxiao.

But he couldn't give the Vast Sea Universe Cover to Xue Lingxiao because it was a national treasure.

"If Your Majesty Father refuses, I will wait in the mansion until Your Majesty sends the Imperial Guards to drive me away. Then we will see whether the Imperial Guards have more men or the Titled Douluo under my command are stronger!"

PS: The plot of the Soul Master Competition is still there, but the protagonist will not participate. It is mainly the home court of the Tianshui Girls Group.
