No one really thinks cultivating immortality is difficult, right?

Tai Shang Xuan Ji replied. The first half of the sentence made Emperor Xia very happy, but the second half made Emperor Xia feel depressed.

"Just what? Xuanji, are you trying to play the same trick on me? Tell me now."

Emperor Xia frowned and said this.

"Your Majesty, I heard from my servant that when we first sent it over, Young Master Chang Yu asked my servant to go back home, and he also asked a lot of questions, such as whether I have any offspring, whether I have any illegitimate children, etc."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji spoke, but what he said was unclear, not intentional, but his servant also told him the same thing, and without explaining it clearly, Tai Shang Xuan Ji also didn't explain it clearly.

But the three words illegitimate child.

Emperor Xia instantly felt something was wrong.

"Why do you ask that?"

At this moment, Emperor Xia seemed a little nervous.

Chapter 224 I didn't expect Ye Ping to be the tenth prince [New book request everything]

Great Xia Dynasty.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Xia seemed a little silent. After he finished listening to what Tai Shang Xuan Ji said, he fell silent.

According to Tai Shang Xuan Ji's meaning, it was obvious that Su Changyu seemed to have guessed something, perhaps he had guessed that he was his son.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia felt both guilty and inexplicably uncomfortable.

"What then?"

Emperor Xia continued to ask.

"Later? I was alert and asked a servant to get information. It was said that young friend Chang Yu seemed to be coming to the imperial capital."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji replied.

These words further confirmed Emperor Xia's guess.

But when Emperor Xia learned that Su Changyu was coming to the imperial capital, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Chang Yu is coming to the imperial capital?"

"Why did he come to the imperial capital?"

"How many people came with him?"

"Is a man?"

Emperor Xia asked several questions in a row, which overturned Tai Shang Xuan Ji's cognition, because Emperor Xia was really too nervous and a little out of control.

This should not be the reaction of an emperor.

However, if it were someone else, they might not be able to understand Emperor Xia, but he could understand it.

After all, Emperor Xia’s favorite woman is the Tenth Prince’s biological mother, and the Tenth Prince’s experience is also pitiful.

After all, he was destined to be a prince, born with endless wealth and splendor, but he was framed by thieves and ended up among the people, becoming an orphan without a father or a mother.

Being looked down upon is fine, but being hungry and cold and having to work every day, which father in the world can accept this? Which father does not feel guilty?

In Tai Shang Xuan Ji's opinion, the reason why Emperor Xia loves Su Changyu so much is because of the guilt in his heart and also as compensation to the tenth prince's biological mother.

But he also knew very well that Emperor Xia would not replace the crown prince because of this guilt and love.

Therefore, he taught the prince not to act rashly, because the throne would eventually belong to him, Xia Qian. But if the prince continued to act recklessly, then it would be hard to say what would happen.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Changyu is indeed coming to the Imperial Capital."

"Why did you come to the imperial capital? I guess you want to end it all. After all, even if Your Majesty wants to hide this matter, I'm afraid Young Master Changyu doesn't want to."

"I heard from my servant that he came alone."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji spoke and answered like this.

"He came alone? Will he be in any danger?"

"Is the security in Jin State good?"

"Could someone be plotting something bad against him? Xuan Ji, how did you do things without anyone sending someone to protect him secretly?"

When Emperor Xia heard that Su Changyu came alone, he couldn't help but angrily scold Tai Shang Xuan Ji.

I feel that Tai Shang Xuan Ji is incompetent.

Tai Shang Xuan Ji was a little confused.

Can you blame me?

Can this be blamed on me?

How would I know that Su Changyu was coming to see you?

Besides, would he encounter any danger if he came to the imperial capital alone?

When the prince was heading to the border, he wanted to take some of his generals with him, but you wouldn't let any of them. Oh, Su Changyu is coming, and you need to protect him?

Your Majesty, you are so partial.

Filled with depression, Tai Shang Xuan Ji didn't dare to say a word and could only lower his head.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't do this well."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji lowered his head and said so.

He had no other choice. There was nothing he could do. If the king ordered his subject to die, the subject had to die. There were no wrong kings, only wrong subjects.

"Humph, Xuanji, you are really old. You haven't even thought of this. Why don't you send someone to escort Changyu?"

Emperor Xia was indeed a little angry, and Tai Shang Xuan Ji could hear it.

He didn't waste any time and left immediately.

After Tai Shang Xuan Ji left.

Emperor Xia couldn't help but smile and talked to himself.

"I didn't expect that a prince like me could guess the identity right away. He is truly a genius."

Emperor Xia was filled with joy.

Just, right now.

In the Prince's Palace.

During this period of time, the prince has indeed restrained himself a lot. He sits alone in the hall, never leaving, and seems to be very well behaved.

But at this moment, in the hall.

A figure appeared in front of the prince.

The other party knelt in front of Xia Qian, appearing extremely respectful.

"Your Highness, the matter has been settled. According to the intelligence, His Majesty passed through the ancient city of Baiyun in Jin State a few days ago and finally went to a place called Qingyun Dao Sect."

The other party knelt on the ground and said so.

"Qingyun Dao Sect? Why does it sound familiar?"

Xia Qian frowned slightly. He sat in the upper seat, looking at the calligraphy in front of him, and asked this.

"Your Highness, this Qingyun Dao Sect is only a newly promoted third-grade sect, but this Qingyun Dao Sect has produced a very remarkable talent."

The other party replied, saying this.

“Who is this amazing talent?”

Xia Qian asked directly, seeming a little anxious.

"Your Highness, that man's name is Ye Ping. He is a student of the Jin State Academy. In this Ten-Nation Competition, he defeated all the other students and became the first. He also wrote a peerless article and became a great scholar."

"But I don't know what's going on with Ye Ping. He clearly won first place in the Ten Nations Competition, but he didn't enter the Ten Nations Academy. Instead, he went straight back to the sect, and his time was exactly the time when Your Majesty went to Baiyun Ancient City."

The other party said so, and as soon as these words were spoken, Xia Qian's eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

"Ye Ping? It's him?"

He who ranked first in the Ten-Nation Competition, had unrivaled literary talent, and was a great scholar of the world, actually did not join the Ten-Nation Academy?

There is obviously something wrong.

And he met Emperor Xia just after returning to Qingyun Taoist Sect?

It was obvious that his father had already found the tenth prince.

What was even more unexpected was that he actually knew this Tenth Prince, who even wanted to win over Ye Ping.

This is really... a little ridiculous.

"Go investigate this Ye Ping. I must see all his information within half an hour."

Xia Qian spoke up and asked the other party to investigate Ye Ping.

"As ordered."

The latter disappeared right where he was.

Just like that, after half an hour, some information appeared in front of him.

Xia Qian looked at it carefully and found that this information was not only obtained through the powerful intelligence agency of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also part of the power of the Tianji Pavilion.

However, Xia Qian did it very covertly. He did not go looking for people in his own capacity, but asked his subordinates to do this task specifically.

Even if some are found out, it is normal. At most, we can say it is because of the non-toxic pill.

Although Tai Shang Xuan Ji told him not to continue to get involved in this matter, how could Xia Qian not continue to get involved in it?

He will never forget the day when the tenth prince was born.

Over the years, he has worked diligently and never complained no matter how his father scolded or blamed him.

Because he knew that his father was doing this for his own good and wanted to train him to become the emperor of Daxia.

But at this moment, Xia Qian felt that things were not so simple.

My father has always been thinking about the tenth prince.

If he had known about this matter ten or twenty years ago, Xia Qian would have had absolutely nothing to say.

But it's different now.

He has worked hard for decades, and is about to inherit the throne.

Who could bear the sudden appearance of the Tenth Prince?

Who can bear it?

He is not satisfied.

Extremely dissatisfied.

Looking at the information on the table, Xia Qian read it carefully.

After a full quarter of an hour, Xia Qian fell completely silent.

Most of Ye Ping's records are on it.

At the age of 24, he was able to surpass the geniuses of ten countries and write outstanding articles.

This is obviously the tenth prince.

Rumor has it that the Tenth Prince has unparalleled luck and can bring endless luck to Daxia.

It is only natural that such a son of destiny can surpass the geniuses of ten countries at the age of 24.

Thinking back to what happened before, Xia Qian couldn't help but laugh.

He smiled deeply.

"Uncle, oh uncle, I didn't expect you to have such a hidden trick in the end."

At this moment, Xia Qian was already certain that Ye Ping was the legendary Tenth Prince.

He is not only the tenth prince, but also a prince with unparalleled talent and luck.

Compared with Ye Ping, I am somewhat inferior.
