Girl, let me check it out.

Ning Bai said softly.

"An angel came to the palace and said that His Majesty wanted to summon Your Highness to the palace to talk."

What the hell?

Fang Weihan shuddered and woke up instantly.

The emperor is looking for himself?

Fang Weihan quickly reviewed what had happened recently.

I guess it’s because they wanted to commend themselves as advanced role models for the annihilation of the Song Clan Gang and the destruction of the Zoroastrianism den last night?

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Fang Weihan turned over and was about to get out of bed.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness. You cannot wear this when you meet His Majesty. I will go get you another set of clothes."

Ning Bai ran out in a hurry.

"Go."

Fang Weihan nodded.

He glanced around and saw the Lumen Sword on his desk and the piece of paper under the sword.

What is this?

Is this the message Ning Bai left for himself?

Fang Weihan picked up the Luminous Sword with some curiosity and looked at the piece of paper underneath.

Written in somewhat messy handwriting on it was:

"About twenty-five."

In addition, there are a few inexplicable black dots, like some punctuation marks?

But the surrounding area is completely blank, what is marked here?

Fang Weihan took a closer look and discovered that this was actually his own handwriting.

He looked confused.

Did I sleepwalk last night?

What do you mean around twenty-five?

What on earth am I writing?

Fang Weihan held the paper and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Chapter 109: The Royal Blood Sword Test

Fang Weihan hurriedly followed the angel out of the palace gate, and saw Master Zhao who was still sleeping on the way.

Fang Weihan was so angry that he laughed.

There are people in this house, but you are still sleeping?

He kicked over Mr. Zhao's small chair, which frightened him so much that he flipped over.

"Second Master, I'm going to the palace for a while, please keep an eye on the house."

Fang Weihan's eyes swept across the wine jar, then he withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened and gave Mr. Zhao a word of advice.

After saying this, he left without looking back.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This is just a small matter..."

Mr. Zhao yawned and agreed lazily, then picked up the jar of wine at his feet and took a big gulp.

As soon as the liquid entered his mouth, the old man's expression twisted instantly.

Why does this wine smell like history?

"puff!"

He sprayed it out directly, and the liquid was mixed with white minced garlic.

"Fuck, who wants to harm me!"

The old man was so anxious that he cursed and jumped up and down in frustration.

Fang Weihan, who had already walked away, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

The frown relaxed instantly.

Sure enough, human happiness still needs to be stimulated by the misfortune of others.

Ugh.

I don’t know who made the old man so miserable.

He sighed and got into the carriage.

……

Changming Ming Street and the Temple of Heaven.

The altar is several meters high and in the shape of a regular octagon. The altar is carved from a whole piece of Mingjin stone from Mount Beimang. There is often golden light flowing on the surface, which is awe-inspiring.

This is the very center of Changming City and was often used as the place for the emperor to ascend the throne and take an oath.

Fang Weihan's gaze was fixed on the dark gold-colored heavy sword on the central platform of Yingtian Temple.

Xuan Yao, the national treasure.

After Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fang Qianyi, had swept across the world and dominated the world, he announced that he would stop fighting and give the people of the world some time to recuperate.

He personally took off his own sword Xuan Yao and handed it to Baili Hui, a powerful person in the realm of creation at that time, the master of formation known as the "Divine Formation", and ordered him to recast Xuan Yao into a heavy sword to be used as the national treasure of the Great Zhou.

Baili Hui was the master craftsman who personally set up the two nine-turn formations in Changming City, the Lingshan Longtan Formation and the Xuantian Tongming Formation.

After receiving the order, he used countless mysterious materials to add into the Xuan Yao, and caused the sky fire to fall to the ground as a heat source.

After more than a hundred days of non-stop forging all night long, the current Xuan Yao Divine Sword was finally forged.

As soon as this sword came into being, golden light spread out, reaching the sky and the earth. Compared with it, the golden light of the Tai Chi Hall next to it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Fang Qianyi personally inserted the sword into the Yingtian Temple to stabilize the destiny of the Great Zhou.

From then on, whenever the emperor established an heir, he would use the Xuan Yao Sword to test the purity of their royal blood.

This act is called "Royal Blood Sword Test".

If the Xuan Yao is not bright, it means that the blood is impure and cannot withstand the good fortune of the Great Zhou.

Only the royal family members who can make Xuan Yao light up can be recognized by destiny and become the heir to the throne.

The Great Zhou had never had any system of primogeniture; everything was based on the results of the imperial blood sword test.

After all, maybe someone could deceive the emperor, but no one could deceive the Xuan Yao Divine Sword.

I heard that people with a high enough concentration of royal blood and recognized by Xuan Yao can even draw the Xuan Yao sword. Unfortunately, no one has been able to do it in the thousand years since Taizu's death.

Compared to being a weapon, this sword now has greater significance as a landmark of Changming.

The Imperial Blood Sword Test has been passed down for thousands of years, and even the aristocratic families have not thought of breaking this rule by secretly supporting their heirs who are on good terms with them.

Because if the emperor is unable to bear the pressure of luck, it will be a devastating blow to the Great Zhou.

The aristocratic families also did not want the Great Zhou to perish.

The most astute families would not make the mistake of exhausting all resources.

They would often wait for the results of the Royal Blood Sword Test before communicating with the future emperor, building a good relationship in advance and seeking greater benefits for their family.

"Is your highness looking at the Xuanyao Sword?"

The old eunuch in front of Fang Weihan noticed Fang Weihan's eyes and asked with a smile.

This is Eunuch Xue, the most trusted eunuch of the current emperor. It was he who went to the Guangling Palace today to summon Fang Weihan into the palace.

"Yes."

Fang Weihan replied after hearing this.

"When I was nine years old, I came here to undergo a Royal Blood Sword Test."

Eunuch Xue also asked back with great interest:

"Oh? I don't know about this matter. What was the result of your sword test, Your Highness?"

Fang Weihan sighed.

"Not very good, I can only make this sword flicker slightly once."

"After all, I am just a vassal king. When it comes to the purity of my bloodline, I am naturally not as good as my two cousins."

The current emperor has two sons, but neither of them is the queen's biological son.

Rather than saying that none of them are the Queen's biological children, it would be better to say that the current Emperor has not established a Queen at all.

Not only was the queen not appointed yet, but even the heir to the throne had not been chosen.

No one knows what the current emperor is thinking.

But fortunately, he is now in his prime and there are no major enemies at hand, so this matter is not urgent.

"Your Highness, please do not underestimate yourself. Bloodline cannot explain everything. In my opinion, your Highness's talents are not inferior to those of the two princes."

Eunuch Xue waved the whisk in his hand and said these words with deep meaning.

Fang Weihan was stunned when he heard this.

What does the old eunuch mean by saying this?

As the person closest to the emperor, Eunuch Xue must know the emperor's thoughts better than ordinary people.

By saying this, was he implying that the emperor did not want to choose an heir from among his two sons?

Fang Weihan was thoughtful.

Eunuch Xue carefully avoided the covered area of ​​Yingtian Temple and smiled kindly:

"Alas, it almost hit the Yingtian Temple. If it had hit, my body wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

There is a field formed by the Xuan Yao sword energy around the Yingtian Temple. If it is not touched by the Fang family's royal bloodline, it will be knocked away at best, or directly crushed into debris at worst.

This is also the reason why the Yingtian Temple was built directly on Tianjie, and there were not even any imperial guards guarding it.

After all, no one dared to touch it.

"You must be joking, sir. With your advanced cultivation, even a touch would not be a big deal."

Fang Weihan smiled.

The old eunuch's cultivation level has always been a mystery, but since he can serve as a close guard beside the emperor, his cultivation level must be very strong.

Eunuch Xue also smiled when he heard this.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the south gate of Changming North Palace, under the Suzaku Gate.

"Open the door and let us in."

Eunuch Xue gave orders to the guards at the gate.

"Yes."

The gate guard held his spear and respectfully agreed.

The cold iron gate with a relief of the Vermillion Bird slowly opened in front of the two of them, revealing Changming's North Palace.

"Your Highness, please."

Eunuch Xue smiled and motioned Fang Weihan to follow him in.

Chapter 110 Emperor

Fang Weihan looked at the Suzaku Gate slowly opening in front of him and hesitated.

He remembered that night when he was inexplicably attacked by the Lingshan Dragon Pond Formation.
