As he said till here, Xuanyuan Mocheng's expression could not help but carry traces of worry and seriousness.
”But if it's really like this, then the emperor can just directly use his evasion to force us down. Why did he have to resort to such a superfluous tactic?”
His subordinate frowned, he did not understand Xuanyuan Zhiling's plan at all.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Mocheng frowned, and sighed: ”This matter is definitely not that simple, do you really think that Xuanyuan Zhiling is that easy to deal with?”
After his subordinates heard Xuanyuan Mocheng's words, they did not say anymore, but the two of them felt a faint sense of unease.
On the second day, Wen Yahan's crowning ceremony smoothly happened, the scene was extremely grand and grand. The reason Xuanyuan Zhiling gave the officials present was a little unclear, it was only because he said that Wen Yahan had rendered meritorious service by saving Xuanyuan Zhiling's life before, that was why he conferred the title of princess to Wen Yahan.
All the officials were opposed to Xuanyuan Zhiling in the beginning, but Xuanyuan Zhiling's determination was too strong. All the officials could only allow Xuanyuan Zhiling to bestow the title of princess upon them, but all the officials present realized that Wen Yahan's expression had turned ugly, and did not say anything.
, who had smoothly become the princess of Phantom Fire Kingdom, was not as happy as everyone had imagined, but was instead as pale as a sheet every single day. Furthermore, he never spoke a word, and the palace maids who served her felt that she was strange, as if she was a mute.
Suddenly, one day, when the palace maids went to help Wen Yahan change her clothes, they found him unconscious in the bathroom.
Xuanyuan Zhiling ordered for Wen Yahan to be secretly sent to the Endless Harmony Hall and told the outside world that Wen Yahan had been paralyzed due to her heavy injuries.
A series of strange things happened, and suddenly, everyone in the imperial court was drawn into this whirlpool.
Many people said that although Xuanyuan Zhiling had been conferred the title of princess by Xuanyuan Zhiling, because they were worried that she would reveal their secret, they drugged him and made him mute and paralyzed.
This news had also reached Xuanyuan Mocheng's ears. He absolutely did not expect that Wen Yahan would become paralyzed the moment she became a princess and suffer from aphasia. It was not as if the rumors were completely illogical.
Xuanyuan Mocheng also felt that this matter was extremely strange. Since Xuanyuan Zhiling hated Wen Yahan so much, then why did he bestow her with the title of a princess?
There were a lot of questions, but Xuanyuan Mocheng was very sure of one thing, which was that he wanted to keep a distance from them.
”My lord, I heard that the reason why Xuanyuan Zhiling was bestowed the title of Princess by the people outside was because Wen Yahan's mouth contained many secrets of Soaring Wind Kingdom that Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to know, so she was bestowed with wealth and riches. However, I was worried that Wen Yahan would form a clique with her, hence I turned her into a cripple and allowed Xuanyuan Zhiling to control his.”
After Xuanyuan Mocheng heard the news, he nodded his head and said: ”This is the most reasonable explanation. This time, in order to save the invisibility, even if we know that what is in front of us is a scheme, we will still have to bravely charge in.
Speaking till here, Xuanyuan Mocheng's face became gloomy, with a serious face.
”Yes, Your Highness, your subordinate will definitely pay attention.”
After saying that, the subordinate walked out of Xuanyuan Mocheng's room, but Xuanyuan Mocheng's face had been extremely ugly the entire time.
”Xuanyuan Zhiling, what exactly do you want?”
Xuanyuan Mocheng's voice carried a trace of heaviness and sorrow.
However, inside the palace, Xuanyuan Zhiling's plans were proceeding step by step in an orderly manner. Wen Yahan became a cripple who did not move at all, lying on the bed as if she was a corpse with her eyes wide open.
Just then, a person walked into the room. This person was none other than the person who had been captured by Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”You are finally lying down and becoming a cripple. Aren't you capable of changing your mind endlessly? ”Now, I will let you transform into my appearance. After that, you can lie down here in peace for the rest of your life.”
The voice belonged to a girl, and this voice actually belonged to Wen Yahan.
Wen Yahan who was lying on the bed opened her mouth wide, but was unable to say anything. Her eyes revealed traces of anger and helplessness.
”Escape? Do you know why the emperor transferred you to me?” The purpose is to lure out your master. Do you think you're the only one who can change into someone else? Don't forget, I am also a member of the Soaring Wind Kingdom, and I know some of the spells that you know.
As he said that, his figure suddenly started to distort, and turned into Wen Yahan's appearance! Originally, the real Wen Yahan had long been hidden away by Xuanyuan Zhiling, and from the second day of the bestowment, Wen Yahan had already been switched out. The real Wen Yahan had already transformed into her camouflage form, and was prepared to sneak into Xuanyuan Mocheng's side.
The true movement had long been drugged by Xuanyuan Zhiling, and he was now a cripple who had lost all his skills and could not even speak or move.
With a sneer, Wen Yahan turned back into her original form, a little pleased with herself.
She admitted that she had a trace of private revenge in her heart. Thinking back to back then, she and Xuanyuan Mocheng was partners, but when she was trapped, Xuanyuan Mocheng had to bite back then.
Thinking about this, Wen Yahan became even more determined to cooperate with Xuanyuan Zhiling. After all, she had the poison Xuanyuan Zhiling gave her in her body, and if it was used on him, not only would he be able to preserve her life, he would also be able to enjoy wealth.
”Good, now leave everything to me and continue being your cripple.”
Wen Yahan laughed as everything was under her control.
That day, Xuanyuan Mocheng stood alone at the window of the inn. The sky was already dark, and as night approached, the number of people on the streets lessened.
”Master, there's someone who wants to see you.”
With this subordinate's voice behind him, Xuanyuan Mocheng didn't even turn his head around. Who is this person? ”
The subordinate suddenly laughed. His voice was filled with mixed emotions, but it was extremely friendly.
”Master, it's me.”
