From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 232 Suspicion within the Royal Family

"Your Highness, I wonder why you came to me this time?"

Sitting in a small pavilion in the royal garden, Leng Xiyao held a cup of tea served by a palace tea master and asked directly about the business.

"Sister, can't I come to you if there is nothing wrong?" Xue Ningzhu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Leng Xiyao showed an expression that said "I don't believe you at all". In this world, people are always seeking profit. The two of them are not related, and have no connection. If she said that the other party was looking for her just to make friends, she would definitely not believe it.

"Ahem, since my sister is a sentimental person and doesn't like to talk nonsense, then I will get down to business."

Seeing Leng Xiyao's attitude, Xue Ningzhu felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but drink a sip of tea to cover it up, and then drove away all the servants around her.

Then, she asked with a serious expression: "Sister, what do you think of the current Crown Prince?"

"Crown Prince?" Leng Xiyao raised her eyebrows: "May he live long."

Xue Ningzhu didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of these four words, and continued to talk to herself, "Yes, we also hope that our wise brother can live a long life, so that the rotten chariot of the Tiandou Empire can continue to move, and not fall into the abyss of civil war when the imperial power changes."

"But now, a future more terrifying than civil war lies before us. That is the prince. It is very likely that he has come into contact with people from the Spirit Hall."

Hearing Xue Ningzhu's words, Leng Xiyao couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Your Highness Princess, how did you know that you had contact with people from the Spirit Hall?"

"Of course my sister found out." Xue Ningzhu snapped her fingers, and a figure suddenly appeared in the air and handed over a document.

"It's no secret that people from the Spirit Hall like to plant spies in the royal family, but these spies are very well hidden, making it difficult for us to find them." Xue Ningzhu took a sip of tea and then handed the document in her hand to Leng Xiyao.

This secret guard is a Soul Saint. Leng Xiyao has known about his existence for a long time, so she didn't make a fuss about it. It would be strange for a princess of a country to not have a few absolutely loyal and powerful bodyguards.

Seeing Leng Xiyao so calm, Xue Ningzhu's smile became even more intense: "But my sister is not idle either. She has also tried to plant some spies in the Spirit Hall and has made some progress. This document is the biggest achievement in recent times, and it is also the basis for us to suspect that the prince is related to the Spirit Hall."

Leng Xiyao did not take it and read it directly. Instead, she said meaningfully: "But, Princess, what does this have to do with a commoner like me? Even if I knew the conspiracy, I'm afraid I can't change anything, right?"

"Hey, sister, don't you understand yet?" Xue Ningzhu suddenly took Leng Xiyao's hand and said sincerely, "The current Tiandou Empire is already on the edge of a cliff. The infiltration of the Spirit Hall is probably not as simple as we can investigate on the surface. At least three of the lower four of the seven major sects have clearly thrown themselves into the arms of the Spirit Hall."

"Among the top three sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince leans towards the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi will most likely follow the Crown Prince's lead and be more tolerant of the Spirit Hall. The Clear Sky Sect has remained in seclusion and there has been no news from them. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect is ambiguous about this. According to their sect's policy of neutrality and self-preservation, they will most likely not get involved in the Empire's affairs."

"In this case, the forces we can win over will be very few, and Sister Yao, you are the only person we can be sure will help us fight against the Spirit Hall." Having said this, Xue Ningzhu's expression became much more solemn.

"Ah, Your Highness Princess, how can you be sure that I will definitely go against the Spirit Hall? My only enemy is the Leng family. Assuming that the Spirit Hall is willing to ignore my actions after a period of time, I would still be willing to make friends with them." Leng Xiyao said half-truthfully.

If it were someone else, they would have been deeply moved by Xue Ningzhu's crazy brainwashing and would have been willing to risk their lives to thank the other party for their trust.

However, Leng Xiyao is a complete egoist. To be honest, if all the royal family members died, she might be able to recreate Boss Cao's feat of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes after she returns with Xue Qinghe. She wanted to help Emperor Tiandou simply because she thought he was a good and honest man.

Who doesn’t like honest people?

That was why she did not go to find Xue Qinghe's elder sister at the address he left behind. Instead of cooperating with the other princes and princesses to share the fruits of victory, it would be better for her to accomplish these things alone.

Moreover, up to now, there has not been much hatred between her and the Spirit Hall. If Snake Spear Douluo had been planning to kill her directly before, then there would be hatred.

But Qian Renxue only wanted him to scare her and snatch away the title deed of the Spirit Hall, which made her unsure of his intentions.

"Impossible." Xue Ningzhu said confidently, "The Spirit Hall has set up a dragnet in Spirit City. Our spies reported that the Pope has summoned elders from some remote areas and seems to be preparing to do something during the finals."

"With such a big battle, I don't think even if Tang Hao went there it would be worth it for Bibi Dong to go through so much trouble. But obviously, you are worth it."

Hearing this, Leng Xiyao's expression turned unfriendly: "You're investigating me?"

In fact, she was mentally prepared for the targeting by the Spirit Hall.

Previously, she released sophisticated equipment like siege tanks, and the Terran Chamber of Commerce was selling all kinds of magical weapons. In addition, her own Zerg power was exposed. If she were Bibi Dong, she would definitely want to capture it and study it to find the source of all these secrets.

But no matter what, there was no specific sign that all these mobilizations were targeting her, but the other party was able to point it out, which undoubtedly meant that most of her details had been investigated by them, which made Leng Xiyao very unhappy.

"Hey, sister, don't be angry. This is our responsibility." Xue Ningzhu softened her tone and explained when she saw Leng Xiyao's angry look.

"After all, the reason you called me here is to exchange information, right?" Leng Xiyao narrowed her eyes and re-examined the princess in front of her.

"Yes." Xue Ningzhu nodded and admitted it directly: "In this competition, Shrek Academy is definitely the well-deserved first place in the preliminaries, and the top five teams are eligible to participate in the awarding of medals and the dinner before going to the promotion competition. People from the Spirit Hall will also participate. I hope that you can help us pay attention to the actions of the prince and leave as much substantial evidence as possible."
