Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 251 Sense of Crisis

The Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

With Xue Qinghe taking action, the Tiandou Imperial Palace was now completely under control. Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe in front of his bed with a complex expression.

Due to the poisoning, Xueye was already critically ill and weakly said, "Are you really that impatient? This position will be yours sooner or later, won't it?"

Although the deaths of two princes in succession had aroused Xue Ye's suspicion of Xue Qinghe, who believed that there must be something fishy about the deaths of those two princes.

However, the dead cannot be brought back to life, leaving only the two princes, Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng. At that time, Xue Beng was still young, and Xue Qinghe had also done a good job. Since some things were beyond our control, we did not pursue the matter further and could only accept it.

However, at this time, Emperor Xueye was unaware that the current Xue Qinghe was no longer the Xue Qinghe of the past.

Xue Qinghe said expressionlessly, "Father, don't you think it's a bit redundant to say these things now? You should know that you are already terminally ill. Passing the throne to me now would be a better way to stabilize the empire, wouldn't it?"

Xue Qinghe still needs to maintain his identity as a member of the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family and cannot afford to be exposed.

Moreover, this is also to prepare for the Spirit Hall to smoothly control the Heaven Dou Empire in the future.

Seeing that Xue Qinghe did not answer his question directly on a snowy night, he knew that his life was nearing its end.

However, in the end, Xueye still asked a question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

Xueye asked again, "Before I die, I want to know if the deaths of the second and third princes are related to you?"

Xue Qinghe didn't expect Xue Ye to ask this question at the end. It seems that she has always had doubts about herself!

However, at this crucial moment, Xue Qinghe naturally wouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble. Although there were only two people in the room, no one could guarantee that the truth wouldn't get out.

So Xue Qinghe said, "Father, wasn't the matter of my second and third brothers settled long ago? Why do you need to ask so many questions now? You should quickly issue the edict of succession."

Seeing that Xue Qinghe's answer was irrelevant, Xue Ye roughly understood the truth. After all, the competition within the royal family was a matter of life and death.

Moreover, Xueye herself went through the same process; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

What Xueye didn't expect was that she would eventually experience the same thing herself, which was quite regrettable.

Then, Xueye said, "Since you're so eager to take that position, let the people outside in now and let them be witnesses!"

As the ministers who were close to Xue Qinghe and had been waiting outside Xueye's palace filed in, Xueye handed the edict of succession to Xue Qinghe in their presence.

After receiving the imperial edict, Xue Qinghe sealed off the palace and then successfully ascended the throne, becoming the new emperor of the Tiandou Empire.

During this process, Xue Xing and Xue Beng also witnessed Xue Qinghe becoming the new emperor of the Tian Dou Empire.

However, the two also had many doubts in their hearts, and originally wanted to ask Xueye, the retired emperor, for the reason.

However, the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace is no longer the same as before, where the two of them can simply enter whenever they want.

Because of this, Xue Xing and Xue Beng are somewhat afraid now. After all, Xue Xing has never liked Xue Qinghe and has secretly caused him a lot of trouble.

Avalanche was aware of all this, but its fear stemmed from another reason: to avoid being harmed, it pretended to be a spoiled brat under Xuexing's advice.

However, now that Xue Qinghe has successfully become emperor, he shouldn't be able to harm Xue Beng anymore. But because he was too close to Xue Xing in the past, he might be affected.

After Xue Qinghe became the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he also began to arrange for his subordinates to take control of Heaven Dou City and monitor some unstable factors within the city.

After that, Xue Qinghe began to place people into the army, not to seize control of the army, but simply to have his own spies in the army. If he did this, even the marshal of the three armies, Ge Long, would have nothing to say.

Although doing so will not allow you to control the army in the short term, it will at least let the army know who they should be loyal to.

...

Inside Xue Xing's Prince's Mansion, Xue Xing and Xue Beng are now like ants on a hot pan. With Xue Qinghe's ascension to the throne, the two of them have become uneasy, fearing that they will be held accountable later.

Seeing Xue Xing's worried expression, Xue Beng also lost his composure and anxiously asked, "Uncle, what should we do now? Do you think Xue Qinghe will drag us down with him?"

At this point, Xuexing didn't have any good ideas either. Her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking of some solution.

Seeing Xue Xing remain silent for a long time, Xue Beng asked again, "Uncle, say something!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Xing could only helplessly say, "We don't have any real power right now, and we can't even see your father. What can we do? We can only wait and see."

"However, if we want to survive, we must first plan out our escape route so that we can get out of danger if a real crisis occurs."

"Secondly, we still need to find a way to see your father, but the palace is currently sealed off by Xue Qinghe. To get in, we'll need..."

"Unless what, Imperial Uncle, the situation is extremely urgent, why don't you just finish what you were saying!" Xue Beng asked anxiously when he saw Xue Xing not finishing her sentence.

Xue Xing sighed and said, "Unless we have a powerful expert to help us, preferably a Title Douluo, it will be very difficult for us to enter the palace."

Xue Beng was speechless upon hearing this. Title Douluo weren't as common as cabbages; there was only one person with a name in the Douluo Continent right now.

Then, Xue Beng thought that Xue Xing had a good relationship with Poison Douluo, but he wondered if he could invite him this time.

Then Xue Beng said, "Uncle, do you think it's possible for us to ask Poison Douluo for help?"

Xue Xing thought for a moment and said, "Although I have some relationship with Poison Douluo, it is only a normal relationship. It is definitely impossible for him to get involved in our royal family."

"After all, a Title Douluo isn't someone you can just invite casually, and besides, this doesn't involve their interests."

"However, since you mentioned Poison Douluo, I think we should still pay him a visit. Perhaps our escape route lies with him."

Xue Beng then said, "So we're just going to leave it at that, and just watch Xue Qinghe become emperor?"

"Then tell me what good ideas you have? If you do, why are we sitting here anxiously?" Xuexing retorted.

Hearing Xue Xing's words, Xue Beng could only sit helplessly in the chair. After all, Xue Qinghe's becoming emperor was now a fait accompli, and it would be extremely difficult to turn the tables.

Seeing the avalanche, Xuexing knew that if the two of them couldn't get through this, they would only have two paths left: either die or embark on a journey of escape.

Then, Xuexing said, "We still have some time. You should pack some important things and make preparations in advance. This will be our asset if we really have to do something against the odds."

Xue Beng could only nod helplessly and said, "Understood, Imperial Uncle. I'll go make preparations soon. What about you?"

"I'll secretly go see Poison Douluo again tonight and see if I can get his help," Xue Xing replied.

Avalanche nodded in agreement. After all, this was a critical time, and the two of them could guess that someone was watching them. They couldn't afford to cut off their own escape route because of momentary carelessness.

Other events happening on the Douluo Continent have not yet reached Tiandou City, and Xue Xing and Xue Beng are unaware that the situation has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The reason Xue Qinghe's actions were carried out at the same time as the Spirit Hall's was to prevent the Heaven Dou Empire from having time to react.

Otherwise, Xuexing and Xuebeng wouldn't be so calm.

...

As night fell, Xue Xing disguised herself and quietly left her princely mansion through a secret passage. After taking a long detour, she arrived at Dugu Bo's residence.

When Dugu Bo saw that Xue Xing had come to see him so late, he guessed that it might be related to the change of emperor in the Tian Dou Empire.

After gesturing for Xue Xing to sit down, Dugu Bo, though already having a guess, still asked first, "What brings Your Highness to see me this evening?"

Xue Xing quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I won't hide it from you. You should know that the Heavenly Dou Empire has a new emperor, and my current situation has become somewhat difficult."

"Because I have always had a bad relationship with Xue Qinghe, Your Majesty may know this. Now that he has become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, I think I will be in trouble once he has free time."

"Therefore, in order to protect myself, I came here tonight mainly to ask Your Majesty for help."

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Didn't you go to find Emperor Xueye? He should still be here, right? Aren't you going to look for something far away from where you could find it?"

"Alas, Your Majesty, if I could see my elder brother, I wouldn't be so troubled. The problem lies here," Xue Xing sighed.

He then continued, "Xue Qinghe probably anticipated that I would go to see my elder brother, so the Heavenly Dou Palace is now sealed off. Anyone who wants to enter cannot do so without Xue Qinghe's warrant."

"So now I can't even get into the palace, let alone see my elder brother. Sigh!"

Dugu Bo then asked, "So what do you want me to do for you? You don't want me to escort you into the palace to see your elder brother, do you? If that's the case, then you don't need to say anything."

"After all, this is a matter for your royal family, and I will not get involved."

Dugu Bo had no interest in the power struggles within the Heavenly Dou royal family. There were plenty of troubles involved; why not just live a peaceful life instead of making things difficult for himself?

Moreover, Yuan Changqing had previously warned him not to get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Although he didn't know the specifics of what those affairs were, he figured they must be quite serious.

Therefore, even though he was a Title Douluo and not afraid of trouble, Dugu Bo was still afraid that too much trouble would affect his family.

Therefore, before Xue Xing could even explain what specific help he wanted to give him, Dugu Bo had already blocked some of the paths ahead of time.

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Xue Xing realized that it was unrealistic to ask Dugu Bo to help her enter the palace.
