Douluo: Soul Devouring Spider King

Chapter 96: Crown Princess (Part )

"This this……"

In the Tiandou Palace, Emperor Xue Ye was slumped on the dragon throne, his old and turbid eyes fixed on a photo in his hand that was shaking. It was not his hands that were shaking, but his old body. Those who didn't know would think that the emperor was doing the shoulder dance on the dragon throne.

That’s right, this is the photo taken at the gate of Tiandou Royal College yesterday!

In the picture, a boy and a girl who are a perfect match are walking lightly, with youthful smiles on their faces. The little girl's beautiful wine-red eyes filled with sweet smiles are looking at the boy, and the boy responds to the girl's gaze with full of "doting"!

At least that’s what Emperor Xue Ye thought. The two of them looked so well-matched and in love in the photo, as if they were born in the world for each other!

The young man in the photo was Xue Qinghe, and as for the loli... Emperor Xue Ye had of course seen Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and he recognized at a glance that this was the princess who had caused so much commotion yesterday.

But now it is no longer the minor fight of yesterday. The news spreading today is not just about causing an earthquake in the Tiandou Imperial Capital, but is doomsday news that is enough to cause an earthquake in the entire continent!

"Who spread this rumor? Just based on this one photo?"

"Your Majesty, there is more than one!"

Xue Ye looked at Prince Xue Xing who was smiling bitterly below the stage: "There are many more pictures, all of which are pictures of Qing He and the princess interacting with each other. And because of the angle, each picture makes the two children look very intimate, as if they were destined to be together."

Xue Ye calmed down a little and said without comment: "Even if that's the case, there shouldn't be such news!"

"It's indeed not enough, but..." Xue Xing glanced at Xue Ye, and he said with a stiff upper lip: "Yesterday, the princess was invited by Qing He to visit his Prince's Palace."

"It's reasonable to be a guest. This doesn't mean anything at all!" Xue Ye frowned and interrupted Xue Xing's words. It can be seen that he is a little anxious. Xue Xing gritted his teeth and said, "But the princess did not go out all night. She must have stayed in the Crown Prince's Palace. There are even servants who say that Qinghe took advantage of the moon and stars when they were few... when..."

"What's wrong? Qinghe...what did he do!!!" Xue Ye's old body trembled again, and his face was filled with tension.

Xue Xing closed her eyes: "Qinghe sneaked into the princess' bedroom at night..."

"..."

"Not only did the two children sleep in the same room, but there was also a noise that lasted for half the night... uh~ some kind of noise!"

Xue Xing didn't need to open his eyes to know Xue Ye's dumbfounded expression at this moment, because he had the same expression when he first learned about it, but he still continued: "It is said that early in the morning, Qinghe walked out of the princess's dormitory in disheveled clothes. After encountering a servant, he also ordered him to bring tonic soup for the princess."

"..."

"Well, actually, all of this can be explained, but the servants said that His Highness Qinghe also took out a bed sheet with scarlet blood flowers printed on it from the princess' room..."

As soon as the voice fell, the huge palace became silent. After Xue Xing finished speaking, she finally opened her cloudy eyes and glanced at the old man who was slumped on the throne with a dazed look on his face.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Are you okay?"

Xue Xing called out several times, and Xue Ye finally came back to his senses, but his eyes were still a little dull, and he said hesitantly: "No... Impossible... Qinghe... There is no way he would do such a thing!"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Ye's cloudy eyes regained their spirits, and his expression became excited: "That's right! Qinghe has been cultivating himself since he was a child, and his every move is gentle and elegant. He has never been greedy for women. Even if the princess looks cute and lovely, Qinghe can't help but have a good impression of her, but he will never do such an overstepping thing!"

"And Qinghe is not that bastard Xue Beng. He has a broad perspective and is familiar with politics. He knows the current situation on the continent. How could he have anything to do with the Spirit Hall, let alone do something like this with the princess..."

"Where's the man from Qinghe? Call him over quickly!"

"I had already informed His Majesty Qinghe before I came here." Xue Xing paused, and said solemnly, "But Your Majesty, when I got the news as soon as possible, I specially sent someone to find out who was spreading the rumors."

"Oh? Have you found the culprit?"

"Martial Spirit Temple."

"Is this true?!" Xue Ye's eyes bulged: "Is it that old man Saras?"

"I'm not sure, but the photo in your Majesty's hand was first passed on by one of the soul masters under this old man!"

"Moreover, this matter spread throughout the city in less than an hour this morning. Apart from our royal family and those great nobles, only the Spirit Hall has the strength to do this, and only his Spirit Hall has the motivation to do so!" Xue Xing said firmly:

"So all this must be directed by Sarath!"

"And behind Sarath stands the Pope..."

Without waiting for Xue Ye to speak, Xue Xing immediately said, "Your Majesty, we have all been fooled!"

"Oh?"

"Do you remember our discussion yesterday? After doing all these things that annoyed me, Tiandou, how did the Pope take the princess from us?"

Xue Ye took a deep breath and pondered: "The female pope doesn't need to pick up the princess..."

"That's right! Your Majesty! The Pope never intended to take her away from the beginning! And we have to take good care of her daughter!"

Xue Xing gritted her teeth and said, "Making friends, being a saint, splitting the nobility, etc. are all fake. They are all used to attract our attention. His Highness Qinghe is her real target!"

Xue Ye's lips trembled: "But why did she look for Qinghe? It can't be that she wants to give her daughter to Qinghe to be the Crown Princess, right?"

"..." Xue Xing did not answer, but stared at him, which made Xue Ye's heart jump: "This...you...could it be that the female pope really plans like this!?"

"Although it sounds strange, there is no other explanation."

"There must be something hidden behind this matter..."

"Your Majesty, the truth of this matter is meaningless. The news has spread everywhere. Soon, everyone in the whole continent will know that the princess of the Spirit Hall will become the Crown Princess of Tiandou!"

“And we can’t deny the connection at all!”

"..." Xue Ye opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. Her expression was filled with confusion. Not even 24 hours had passed since Xiao Dong started making trouble, and the entire imperial capital had already been turned upside down by her!

And the pace was so fast! So fast that he didn't have any time to react!

The situation in Tiandou Imperial Capital changed almost in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of another eye, the whole continent would know about it!

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Xue Ye in a daze, Xue Xing's eyes flashed slightly.

I'm a bit stuck, I can't say a word for three hours~
