Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 89
Chapter 89: I Wonder If Father Emperor Regrets It
“Elder Sister, I’m back. ”
Ye Qingwan was thinking, when Ye Qingshuang’s voice came.
Seeing that the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi on Ye Qingshuang had been resolved, Ye Qingwan’s face showed wild joy, and she quickly asked, “Where’s Ye Yu? ”
“It’s only me. ” Ye Qingshuang pulled Ye Qingwan, who was constantly looking outward, and spoke.
“The Hundred Dynasties War just ended, he should not have had time to return yet. What did he say? Did he say when he’d be back? ” Ye Qingwan anxiously said.
She couldn’t help but be anxious. Ye Fan had once said that as soon as the Hundred Dynasties War ended, he would marry her and Ye Qingxuan to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Ye Qingshuang took a deep breath and said, “Elder Sister, I came to find you because of Ye Xuan. ”
After leaving the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield that day, Ye Qingshuang originally wanted to find Ye Fan directly to clarify Ye Xuan’s matter with the Demon Race.
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was inappropriate. The Hundred Dynasties War location was too chaotic. If others overheard, they might also be implicated.
After much thought, she decided to return and discuss it with Ye Qingwan first.
“Little Xuan? What happened to him? Was he injured? ” Ye Qingwan asked with a frown.
“Elder Sister, Little Xuan… he… he… he is a spy for the Demon Race. ” Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth and finally spoke.
Ye Qingwan’s expression changed upon hearing this. She looked around. Fortunately, there was no one else around. She immediately said coldly, “Qingshuang, how can you say such things carelessly? Although I don’t like Little Xuan’s recent actions, connecting him to the Demon Race isn’t good. ”
“Elder Sister, what I said is true, and Little Yu also knew this a long time ago. That’s why, for all these years, Little Yu has been…”
Ye Qingshuang didn’t finish her sentence before she was rudely interrupted by Ye Qingwan.
“I knew it was Ye Yu. Besides him, no one would target Little Xuan like this. Don’t be foolish, Qingshuang, you’ve been used by Ye Yu. ” Ye Qingwan said decisively.
“Elder Sister, I saw it with my own eyes. ” Seeing that Ye Qingwan was going to misunderstand Ye Yu, Ye Qingshuang quickly explained.
And she told Ye Qingwan everything that happened on the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield.
“Alright, alright, I understand. Tell Ye Yu that once he returns, I will help him regain his position as Crown Prince. Don’t use such underhanded methods. ” Ye Qingwan was a little impatient and waved her hand.
“Qingshuang, don’t be deceived by Ye Yu. That guy is very cunning. I don’t know what Ye Yu told you, but you can’t frame Little Xuan like him. ”
Seeing Ye Qingwan like this, Ye Qingshuang clicked her tongue. Now she finally understood why Ye Yu knew about Ye Xuan’s collusion with the Demon Race but was unwilling to say anything.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have reacted the same way as Ye Qingwan.
“Elder Sister, we’ve all been deceived by Ye Xuan for all these years. Wake up. ” Ye Qingshuang said through gritted teeth.
Ye Qingwan’s face instantly fell, and she looked at Ye Qingshuang coldly.
“Qingshuang, I watched Little Xuan grow up. I know better than anyone what kind of person he is. You’ve been blinded by Ye Yu. Don’t say such things again. If you continue to slander Little Xuan maliciously, don’t blame Elder Sister for getting angry! ”
Looking at Ye Qingwan’s expression, Ye Qingshuang felt a sharp pain in her heart. She let out a wry smile and turned to leave.
A few days later, many people from the empires who participated in the Hundred Dynasties War gradually returned to their respective courts.
Ye Yu and several people returned to Great Qin.
But as soon as they arrived in Great Qin, before they could even settle down, several guards rushed over.
“His Majesty, many refugees have appeared at the Great Qin border. Please instruct His Majesty on what to do. ” A guard asked Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang frowned upon hearing this. He hadn’t heard of any battles in Qingzhou. He immediately asked, “Refugees? Where did these refugees come from? ”
“Your Majesty, those refugees fled from Great Yan. ” The guard replied.
Hearing that they were from Great Yan, Qin Wushuang glanced at Ye Yu beside him and instantly understood, “Is it because of the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring? ”
The guard then recounted the whole matter.
During the Hundred Dynasties War, the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring in Great Yan erupted again. The Nine Nether Bl00d Qi, which had been previously blocked, broke through the formation previously set up by Ye Xuan and others.
Because of their participation in the Hundred Dynasties War, the experts within Great Yan were all taken away, and no one could stop the spread of the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi.
Now, the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi has spread to Nine Counties and Fifty-Six Cities in Great Yan.
“What about us? Are we unaffected? ” Qin Wushuang’s face darkened, and he quickly asked.
“Thanks to the formation set up by the Prince Consort at the border, Great Qin has not been affected. ”
Hearing this, Qin Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Ye Yu, “Son-in-law, what do you think we should do now? ”
Hearing Qin Wushuang ask Ye Yu, Qin Han’s expression darkened. Ignoring his own position as Crown Prince to ask an outsider made Qin Han very uncomfortable.
“Find a small town at the border and take in all these refugees, providing them with food and lodging, but only this batch. ” Ye Yu pondered for a moment and spoke.
Qin Han frowned and said, “Nonsense! Providing food and lodging? Father Emperor, in my opinion, we don’t need to care about their lives or deaths. Once Crown Prince Ye Xuan has time, he will naturally take care of it. ”
Qin Wushuang ignored Qin Han and said, “Do as the Prince Consort said. ”
After the guard received the order, he withdrew. Ye Yu didn’t stay any longer but returned to his residence, eagerly pouring his spiritual energy into the Xuantian Cauldron.
After obtaining a broken piece of the Xuantian Cauldron on the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield, Ye Yu clearly felt that the Xuantian Cauldron’s function had returned. The daily lottery function should have been restored.
With the infusion of spiritual energy, the mysterious patterns on the Xuantian Cauldron reappeared. After a long while, the cauldron lid opened again, and a stream of light shot out from the Xuantian Cauldron.
Ye Yu quickly reached out to catch it and took a closer look. It was just a Purple Zenith Fruit.
But this did not diminish the joy on Ye Yu’s face. Although the Purple Zenith Fruit was useless, the Xuantian Cauldron’s function had returned. Who knows what good things it might produce in the future.
On the other hand, Ye Fan also returned to Great Yan, while Ye Xuan was taken to the Nine Spirits Sword Sect by Xu Xiaoyao and would not return for a few days.
As soon as he returned to the Imperial Palace, he heard urgent reports.
The Nine Nether Bl00d Qi had spiraled out of control, spreading to Nine Counties and Fifty-Six Cities.
Great Yan’s population had suffered massive losses.
Lingyun Pavilion had cut off trade with Great Yan.
The national treasury was empty, reaching its limit.
….
Every single piece of news was bad, adding fuel to Ye Fan’s already gloomy mood.
Ye Qingshuang, outside the hall, listened to the ministers’ reports, her heart aching. She didn’t know when it began, but Great Yan, which once had the strongest momentum in Qingzhou, was now on the verge of collapse.
Ever since Ye Yu went to the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring and Ye Qingwan took over as Regent, Great Yan had begun to decline.
Ye Qingshuang looked at Ye Fan, who was filled with worry on the dragon throne.
I wonder if Father Emperor ever regretted…
