Chapter 273 Suspicion
Duan Tao and Xiyingtuo finally dealt with these enthusiastic ministers, and then Duan Tao accompanied Xiyingtuo to deal with the aftermath of the palace. After all this was completed, the two came to the princess's bedroom. At this time, Princess Xixi had woken up, her expression was dazed, and there were tears in her beautiful eyes. Her gentle and weak look made people feel pity.
Duan Tao looked around and didn't see the ghost master. This was a strange thing. The ghost master has always been sticking to Xixi like a fly, but now he is not here?
Xiyingto couldn't help but sigh and walked to Princess Xixi, "Xian'er, don't think too much! Be strong! You are the only legal heir to the imperial royal family. If you don't become strong, what should you do in the Ximan Empire?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone present was shocked. Xixi looked at Xiyingto with a look of surprise.
Xiyingto smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I really care about the throne? You are wrong! I have never thought like this! If I really wanted the throne, I would have done it long ago!"
Princess Xixi couldn't help but look puzzled in her eyes.
Xiyingto showed a look of memories, "His Majesty the Emperor and I have been playing a show. We agreed not to reveal this matter before His Majesty's death. We hope to use this method to train you into a strong queen. This method may be cruel, but it is also a helpless move. After all, you are the only heir of the Siman royal family! In fact, His Majesty the Emperor also wanted to pass the throne to me, but I did not accept it! If I inherit this position, it would open a very bad precedent, which is extremely unfavorable to the stability of the empire! Qian'er, can you forgive us?"
Princess Xixi couldn't help but feel sad and cried, and tears were like raindrops under the eaves.
No one knows what to say, and Xiyingto's heart is full of guilt.
After a while, Princess Xixi finally stopped crying and raised her head, "I don't blame you!" Although she said that, she looked a little aggrieved.
Xiyingtao sighed with relief, stroked Princess Xixi's hair, and said with emotion: "I remember that when you were young, you always liked to pester me, but over the years we are like enemies, and it makes people feel distressed to think about it!"
Princess Xixi couldn't help but show emotion.
Xiyingto said: "You have to be stronger, there are still many things waiting for you to do!"
Princess Xixi nodded, and her delicate face with tears was full of determination.
Princess Xixi walked to Duan Tao, Yingying bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you for avenging my father!"
Duan Tao said half-jokingly: "Don't! You are the queen!"
Seeing his exaggerated appearance, Xixi couldn't help but burst into laughter. Thinking of what was happening in front of her, her sad expression climbed up to her beautiful face again.
Xiyingto said: "I will hand over all the military and political rights to you tomorrow morning!"
Xixi hurriedly said, "Uncle, there is no need to be like this!"
Xiyingto waved his hand and said firmly: "No! This is a must! Otherwise, your queen will not deserve it in the eyes of others! Some people will also have thoughts that they should not have! The current situation is chaotic and the war is about to begin. You must succeed to the throne immediately. I don't think you have to choose time, just tomorrow!"
Princess Xixi nodded, "Just follow the Emperor!"
On the way back, Duan Tao said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that the prince had no intention of fighting for power with Princess Xixi! Is this true?"
Xiyingto smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's true! Just like what I said just now! With the strength I have accumulated over the years, I can take action long ago. Why wait until now! There is no need to say such a thing!"
Duan Tao thought for a moment and nodded, "You are right! Haha, it seems that I misunderstood you!"
Xiyingto waved his hand, "It's not your fault! This is an illusion that Your Majesty and I want to create!"
Duan Tao nodded and smiled, "It seems that I don't have to ask you to let Princess Xixi go!"
Xiyingto smiled and asked curiously: "Little brother, why do you want to plead with me for Qian'er? Could it be that you are interested in Qian'er?"
Duan Tao was stunned, "How can it be?"
"Don't be excited! Is Qian'er worthy of you? Qian'er must look good, be smart, and be about to become the queen!" Xi Yingtuo was like a matchmaker.
Duan Tao rolled his eyes, "Please! Who said she is not worthy of me anymore? But this matter has to be about fate and feelings! There is no call between Princess Xixi and I! Besides, I think she hates me and I are not too late!"
Xiyingto smiled and said, "I can talk about it for you!"
Duan Tao waved his hand quickly and said angrily: "I said to Prince, don't worry about the love between children!"
Xi Yingto sighed, "Now Qian'er is the only relative left, so how can I ignore it?"
Duan Tao quickly changed the topic and said, "Prince, I want to ask you something!"
Xiyingto smiled and said, "Tell me!"
"That's right! You know, I have some confidantes in Lanling Academy!~~~~"
Xi Yingtuo laughed and joked: "Little brother, you know that I am a lonely man, are you deliberately saying this to stimulate me?"
Duan Tao smiled, "How can it be? They will come to Torret in a few days. I want to ask the prince to take care of them. I will return to the territory in two days!"
Xiyingto nodded with a smile, "No problem! I will send a team of people to take charge of their safety!"
Duan Tao said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xiyingto waved his hand, "Why are you polite to me?"
His eyes turned back to the princess's mansion.
"Teacher, are you saying that the Emperor's words just now true?" asked Princess Xixi, with a sense of suspicion in her beautiful eyes. It's not her fault. She has been spending all these years intrigue, and Xiyingto's confession is too abrupt.
Talong frowned and said, "If he had any other thoughts, there was no need to say such a call! Judging from the past situation, what he said was likely to be true!"
Princess Xixi frowned and asked, "Teacher, you are also a close confidant around your father. Don't you know the inside story?" There was a clear look of suspicion in your beautiful eyes.
Talong smiled bitterly and said, "If it is true as the Prince said, only two people may know about this matter, that is Your Majesty and the Prince!"
Princess Xixi nodded, "No matter what, we still have to take necessary precautions tomorrow!"
Talong nodded and said, "Of course! I will put our people around the palace. If an emergency occurs, they will resist the prince's troops, and the ghost master and I escort the princess out of the siege! Alas! I hope our worries are unnecessary!"
Duan Tao bid farewell to the prince and returned home. The women immediately surrounded Duan Tao, each of them bulged their cheeks, looking very objectionable.
Duan Tao asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"
Sophia hurriedly asked, "What happened just now? Long Xiaomei said, you usually won't use such a trick!"
Long Rui and Naga nodded and looked at Duan Tao, Yaqin, Nayun, and Chris also looked concerned.
Duan Tao was so moved when he saw the girls caring about him so much. He hugged Sophia's slender waist and kissed his red lips, and sighed: "I think I am so happy!"
Sophia stepped back with a red look on Duan Tao, "Hmph! Don't want to get away with it, you have to honestly explain!"
Duan Tao stumbled his head, "Actually nothing! There is a spy from the Pope in the palace, and I fought with him! This guy arranged a powerful magic circle in advance! So I used 'Sky Split'!"
The girls nodded suddenly. Yaqin glanced at Duan Tao, with a clear look of suspicion in her eyes. Yaqin was different from the girls, and there was a very obscure sense between her and Duan Tao.
Torret should have been very lively at night, but it was different tonight. There were few pedestrians on the streets and the taverns were deserted. The only drinkers were talking about what happened during the day today. "There must be a big thing in the palace today!" "I heard that a spy from the Pope had set up a powerful magic circle in the palace! Everyone was helpless! Fortunately, the good lord took action to destroy the magic circle in time and eliminated the spy!" Everyone couldn't help but look in a daze.
The human said, "So that's the case! Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"It's so beautiful here!" Sophia sighed as she looked at the scene in front of her. They were in Duan Tao's dimensional space. What's interesting is that this time, there are also day and night alternating between the earth space. Now it's night, and there are stars and moons in the sky, but I don't know if these are true or false.
"Junior brother, is this really your dimensional space?" Naga asked in disbelief. No wonder, even if you have seen such a dimensional space, you have never heard of it!
Duan Tao nodded with a smile, feeling a little proud.
Long Rui smiled and said, "This bad guy has so many secrets!"
The girls couldn't help but smile. Duan Tao glared and said, "If you talk nonsense, I'll throw you back!"
Long Rui bulged her cheeks and snorted.
There were several bonfires in the village in the distance, and the blood elves and night elves were singing and dancing, a joyful scene.
Duan Tao said: "Let's not bother them!" He looked at the hill with a waterfall in the distance, "Let's go there and take a look!"
The girls nodded with smiles. Long Rui slapped her hands and said excitedly: "Okay, okay! There must be very beautiful there too!"
Duan Tao led the girls to walk towards the waterfall slowly. In fact, Duan Tao could have taken the girls to teleport there, but this way he would have an artistic conception.
While walking and chatting, Long Rui seemed the most lively and always argued with Duan Tao. The sound of the two of them echoed in the small field in front of the hills.
Suddenly a figure ran towards him from the front.
