"The traitor! The traitor!!!"

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Qinghe was reporting on everything that had just happened. When he heard Xue Beng insult the Lord of the War God Temple, he almost fainted.

"Father, calm down."

Seeing this, Xue Qinghe dutifully came up behind Xue Ye and patted his back, while also pretending to plead for Xue Beng:
"Father, perhaps my fourth brother was just confused for a moment. In his heart, he probably really wants to inherit the throne, which is why he did this. If he really wants it, I will give up the position of Crown Prince. But today, for his own benefit, he not only offended the Lord of the Temple of War, but also insulted him in front of so many people. I'm worried... the Temple of War will..."

Xue Ye understood the meaning behind his son's words. If Xue Beng was only fighting for the throne, he wouldn't say anything, since he had come this far himself. But this rebellious son dared to insult the palace master like that. Wasn't that pushing the Tian Dou Empire into a fire pit?
"Qinghe, you have some connections with the master of the Temple of War, do you think you could mediate between them?"

Xue Qinghe sneered inwardly, "Mediation? If mediation really succeeds, wouldn't that good-for-nothing Xue Beng still be alive and kicking? If he doesn't completely destroy Xue Beng today, he'll definitely come out and cause trouble again in the future."

"Father! In my opinion, the War God Temple is the foundation of our Heavenly Dou Empire. My fourth brother's actions have already greatly displeased that temple master. If he doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid I'll have to leave empty-handed even if I go. At that time, not only will other forces laugh at us, but the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire will also lose faith in our royal family. After all, my fourth brother's actions were indeed excessive. You should know that there are quite a few nobles dining at the Heavenly Dou Grand Hotel."

"He went in and kicked everyone out without saying a word. He not only offended the Lord of the Temple of War, but also the commoners and nobles. If these three things erupt at the same time, the pressure on us will be enormous. We will be the ones who make a fool of ourselves."

"Therefore, in my opinion, we must give an explanation to the Temple of War, the common people, and the nobles."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye closed her eyes tightly and finally sighed helplessly. Xue Qinghe was right. If all three parties erupted at once, it wouldn't be as simple as just having an army to suppress them. The commoners and nobles could be suppressed, but what about the Temple of War? This force was not one to be trifled with.

Once this temple master orders the powerful warriors of the War God Temple to storm the palace and slaughter them all in revenge, they will have no power to resist. After all, no matter how large the army is, they can't start a war in Tiandou City, right? And what's the use of starting a war after you're dead? Isn't living the most important thing?
However, Xue Ye was still somewhat hesitant, after all, he only had two sons, Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng. But when he thought of the War God Temple's revenge, he immediately came to his senses!
He then shouted loudly to the guards outside:

"Guards! Drag that rebellious son Xue Beng out and give him a hundred lashes in front of everyone! Furthermore, exile him to Dragon City. From this day forward, he will no longer be my prince, and without my summons, he will never be allowed to enter Heavenly Dou City again!!!"

Emperor Xueye ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill his son, but the hundred lashes did leave Xue Beng half-dead, especially in front of everyone.

At the time, the nobles and commoners of Tiandou City cheered, after all, Xue Beng had done too many things to bully the people and women, and the incident at Tiandou Grand Hotel had angered many nobles and commoners, so he really deserved it this time.

Moreover, after being stripped of his princely status, he could only eke out a living in that remote Dragon City. This time, he truly had no chance of turning things around.

As for Xuexing, he's not having an easy time either, since he was there too. If you, as his uncle, had stopped him in time, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.

"Xue Xing! From this moment on, you are relieved of all your duties and sent to Idov City. You are not to return without my summons."

"Your Majesty! I..."

"Ok?"

Xuexing wanted to explain, but Xueye glared at her, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat. In the end, Xuexing could only sigh and say:

"Your subject obeys the decree." Xue Xing left. As he walked out of Tian Dou City, he realized that he had completely bet on the wrong person and had utterly lost to Xue Qinghe.

After all these things were done, Xue Qinghe went to the Temple of War God under the pretext of apologizing.

In Wang Yi's room, Qian Renxue sat on his lap, her whole body leaning against Wang Yi's chest, and began to recount everything that had happened since they left that day.

"It seems there shouldn't be any problem for you to inherit the throne."

Wang Yi gently stroked Qian Renxue's golden hair and spoke upon hearing this.

"This is all thanks to your help; otherwise, I might not have been able to solve their big problem."

You know, Xue Beng and Xue Xing would pop up and cause him trouble from time to time. Xue Xing was Xue Ye's younger brother, so he couldn't take action against him. Xue Beng was also one of his last two princes, so he couldn't kill him either. Otherwise, he would have gotten rid of these two troublesome guys long ago.

Now, with Wang Yi's help, she can finally secure her position as crown prince.

"Although Xue Beng and Xue Xing have been assigned to other places, you still need to be wary of them. They will definitely rebel after you ascend the throne. They didn't dare to do so while Xue Ye was around, but if Xue Ye is gone, they will become a disaster."

Wang Yi's statement implies that such a thing is absolutely possible. After all, in Douyu II, the Heavenly Dou Empire was ultimately divided into the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douling Empire due to differences in power and ideology.

If we don't guard against them, they might create two different empires and each claim the throne. At that time, the Star Luo Empire will definitely not give up this great opportunity, and it's not impossible for them to annihilate the Heaven Dou Empire in one fell swoop.

"In that case, I'll just have someone secretly take care of them!"

Qian Renxue said ruthlessly, as a person in power, he would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

“No!” Wang Yi shook his head. “The reason Xue Ye didn’t kill Xue Beng and Xue Xing was because he still had feelings for them. If you kill them now, he will suspect you first, which will be a great obstacle to your ascension to the throne.”

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to leave them alone?"

Wang Yi gently flicked Qian Renxue's forehead, saying with a hint of exasperation:

"You little idiot, why didn't you secretly have someone kill them after they died on that snowy night?"
