Chapter 451 Shen Yaobeichen
Emperor Xuan Ye felt like he was being weighed down by a huge rock these days, his heart filled with heavy worries.
He was looking forward to it all day long, and every minute and every second was filled with anxiety, hoping that there would be news from Jinghai Town.
Finally, after several days of agony, an urgent report was presented to him.
Seeing this, Xuan Ye almost pounced over and snatched the report. His fingers trembled slightly with anxiety and he couldn't wait to unfold it.
His eyes eagerly roamed between the lines, and as he read deeper, his facial expression changed rapidly. First, his pupils shrank suddenly in shock, as if he had seen something unbelievable;
Then, her cheeks flushed with joy and the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably.
After reading the last word, he could no longer suppress his inner excitement and laughed out loud with his head raised: "My Fuxi is truly my Beichen's lucky star! No matter how difficult the problem is, as long as she is here, it can be solved easily!"
Li Quan stood aside, his curiosity aroused to the extreme. He stretched his neck and widened his eyes, wishing he could stick his head directly on the report.
But unfortunately, Xuan Ye's figure completely blocked his sight. He tried for a long time, but could only see Xuan Ye's back.
He felt like a kitten was scratching his heart, making it itch uncomfortably. However, based on his understanding of Xuan Ye and Shen Li, he knew that anything related to Shen Li was most likely a happy event.
However, the laughter did not last long before it stopped abruptly as if it had been cut off.
The smile on Xuan Ye's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an inextricable worry.
He frowned, the wrinkles on his face seeming to deepen a little, and slowly spoke: "Now, Emperor Lichen, Prince Xiqi, the Master of Cangyue Pavilion, and the Master of Tianji Pavilion are all willing to follow her wholeheartedly. The Master of Cangyue Pavilion has even transformed himself into the new Emperor of Dongsheng. So, except for me, Beichen, the forces behind them are all..."
Xuan Ye paused at this point, not continuing. His gaze was solemn, filled with worry, and he remained silent. However, his solemn expression and hesitant attitude made it easy to guess that he was worried about a possible major change in the situation and the various unknown risks lurking behind this complex situation.
Li Quan's heart skipped a beat after hearing the emperor's previous words. He secretly wondered: Could it be that His Majesty thinks Princess Fuxi will cause trouble for Beichen? Just as he was secretly speculating, he heard the emperor change the subject and said in annoyance, "Doesn't that mean that if Li'er gets married, she will either go to Lichen, Xiqi, or Dongsheng, and will not stay in Beichen anymore. My lucky star will be snatched away by them!"
The more Xuan Ye thought about it, the more upset he felt. He paced back and forth anxiously in the hall, his steps hurried and chaotic, muttering to himself, "It's a pity I adopted her as my adopted daughter. Even if I hadn't, Xuan Chen is too old, and Li'er would definitely not like him. Besides, as for Xuan Heng, I've already decreed that Heng'er be demoted to a commoner. No, no, even if their bodies have recovered and are no longer disabled, it doesn't change the fact that Heng'er is a bastard! He's always so dishonest and behaves so absurdly. How can he be worthy of Li'er in the slightest?"
Xuan Ye paced back and forth in the hall, his brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character, and anxiety completely overwhelmed him like a tide.
Just as he was feeling upset, he suddenly turned around and saw Li Quan standing beside him. As if he had grabbed a lifeline, he spoke anxiously, "Little Quan, come over here and take a look at this report! You've been by my side for many years and have always been smart. Help me figure out what I should do to keep Fuxi in Beichen."
As he spoke, his eyes were full of anticipation, as if as long as Li Quan took a serious look at the report, he would be able to come up with a brilliant idea to resolve the heavy worry in his heart.
Li Quan took the report with trembling hands, his eyes full of awe and uneasiness.
He held his breath and read carefully word by word. As he read deeper, the expression on his face changed from initial concentration to shock. When he saw the content that all the forces of the three kingdoms followed Princess Fuxi, his hand shook uncontrollably and the report fell to the ground with a "pop".
His face turned pale, his legs gave way, and he trembled as he fell to his knees with a plop, banging his head heavily on the ground. He cried, "Your Majesty, I deserve death. I dare not speak nonsense!"
Xuan Ye was so anxious that he didn't have the energy to think about these things. He waved his hands impatiently, and said in a tone of urging: "Get up, get up. I said I forgive you. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hesitate!"
Li Quan slowly stood up, his knees still trembling slightly. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, gritted his teeth, and said bravely, "Your Majesty, based on the talents Princess Fuxi has demonstrated and her outstanding contributions to Beichen, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has the qualities of an emperor... I'm afraid these three kingdoms have already worshipped the princess as their lord!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ye's brows knitted even tighter. He paced around the hall anxiously, saying angrily, "How could I not know? Do I need you to remind me? But she's my daughter. Am I really going to marry my son to her?"
Li Quan's eyes darted around, as if suddenly enlightened. They lit up, and he said excitedly, "Your Majesty, there's a solution! Why not make Princess Fuxi the Crown Princess? That way, since the princess will stay in Beichen, the emperors and princes of the other three kingdoms will inevitably frequent Beichen to visit her. Wouldn't all the forces in the world be closely connected to our Beichen?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ye's eyes instantly lit up like the brightest stars in the night sky. He slapped his thigh in excitement and shouted in a loud voice, "Great! This is a fantastic idea! I'm a little tired of being the emperor. Chen'er has never had any interest in the throne. Although Heng'er has some ambitions, his style and ability are really not enough for the task. Now the sky has been blessed with a fairy-like treasure like Fuxi for Beichen. Hahaha, isn't this the heavens helping us Beichen!"
At this moment, Xuan Ye was filled with joy and danced with excitement, like a child who had obtained a favorite toy.
He turned to look at Li Quan, his face full of smiles, and praised him generously, "Little Quan, you still understand my thoughts the best! You are worthy of being the most capable person by my side!"
After saying this, he strode to the table and carefully put away the memorial. "Let's put this memorial aside for now. Tomorrow morning, I will announce to the world that Fuxi will be crowned the Crown Princess! Anyway, those ministers still think that my two sons are now disabled. This is a perfect opportunity. They can't find any fault with it!"
