293 Ning Fengzhi's Little ThoughtsTiandou Palace.

Xue Qinghe happened to bump into Ning Fengzhi when he entered the palace.

"Teacher, why did you think of coming to the palace?" Xue Qinghe asked puzzledly.

Ning Fengzhi is the kind of guy who will not do anything without benefits. He hasn't been to the palace for some time and no one knows why he came today.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and responded, "Qinghe, I have something to tell your majesty. I wonder if you know anything about Prince Xuexing?"

Xue Qinghe smiled in his heart, he understood the other party's purpose of coming here.

Ning Fengzhi pulled him and brought him to a secluded corner of the palace. Gu Rong cast a soul barrier to isolate himself from all outside perception.

"Qinghe, Ning wants to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Xue Qinghe was puzzled.

Ning Fengzhi looked around for a while, and when he was sure that no one was around, he spoke, "Qinghe, how is His Majesty's health now?"

Xue Qinghe responded, "Alas, Father's health is getting worse day by day, and the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital haven't found the cause. A few days ago, His Majesty Dugu also came to see him and just thought it was natural aging. At present, Father can only barely take care of himself."

"I hope Sect Master Ning can say as little as possible about my brother's affairs. I'm worried that my father's health will completely collapse."

Ning Fengzhi was very satisfied after hearing this.

In his mind, Xue Qinghe was a humble and kind person. Such a character would be more helpful to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in the future and would also make it easier for them to control him.

After pretending to think for a moment, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Qinghe, I have my own plan for this matter. Prince Xuebeng and Prince Xuexing are really too presumptuous this time. If Your Majesty does not step in to stop them, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause in the future."

"Qinghe, have you ever thought about why Xue Beng did such a dirty thing to His Majesty Dugu's granddaughter?"

Xue Qinghe cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to hear the details."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and continued, "Qinghe, you are too kind. Prince Xuexing wants Xue Beng to replace you all the time. This time, if it weren't for His Majesty Dugu's keen observation, their uncle-nephew plan would have really succeeded. By then, Xue Beng and Dugu Bo will be happily married, and His Majesty Dugu will naturally be his backer."

"With the help of the Titled Douluo, do you think they are still willing to maintain the status quo? Who knows, when Xue Beng offers some tempting conditions, the ministers in the court will start to side with them."

Xue Qinghe pretended to be shocked for a moment, then said with a look of relief: "I have always regarded Xue Beng as my brother, but I never thought he would do such a thing. Fortunately, the teacher reminded me, otherwise I would probably still be kept in the dark."

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, "It's okay, you only see the glory of the royal family, but don't notice the darkness of the royal family. Since ancient times, the emperor and the prince have been rivals, not to mention brothers. However, Qinghe, you can rest assured that the teacher will handle some of the dirty work for you."

Xue Qinghe certainly understood what he meant.

Ning Fengzhi is not a person who is content with what he has to live with. He took the initiative to say all this, isn't he just trying to gain some benefits?

However, according to the Spirit Hall's soul hunting plan, it is hard to say whether the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will still exist in the future. Even if he promises the entire empire to the other party, what can it do?

"After I ascend the throne, you will be the imperial teacher. I intend to appoint you as the imperial teacher to assist me in handling state affairs. I hope you will not refuse." Xue Qinghe bowed slightly and said with a cupped hand.

The position of the National Master is second only to one person and above all others. In the future, Ning Fengzhi can seek many benefits for the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect by taking advantage of his position.

However, he couldn't be too active, lest someone discovered something.

"Qinghe, there is no rush to discuss this matter. Ning can't teach you much anymore, and you will need to be independent in the future."

…

Qianlin Palace.

Since Xue Ye fell ill, he has been living in this palace in the harem.

This place was originally the Queen's palace. Ever since the Queen passed away, Xue Ye had no plans to appoint another Queen, so this place has remained empty.

The palace has been surrounded by the Royal Knights and no one is allowed to approach.

But in fact, the soldiers of the Royal Knights have gradually been replaced by Xue Qinghe and people from the Spirit Hall.

Seeing them coming, the head of the Royal Knights asked as usual: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Xue Qinghe responded, "General Roxon, I came to report state affairs to my father. It just so happens that my teacher also has something important to report to my father, so I brought people here with me."

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is a supporter of the Heaven Dou Empire, so Roxon dared not offend them.

Besides, since he was the prince's teacher, there was no need for him to commit regicide.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Sect Master Ning, and His Majesty Bone Douluo, His Majesty is not in good health. Please do not spend too much time reporting on your work, so as not to delay His Majesty's rest." Roxen clasped his fists and took the initiative to make way.

As for Roxen, Xue Qinghe wanted to recruit him but also wanted to kill him.

This guy is only loyal to Xue Ye. If he is not transferred away from Qianlin Palace, the next plan will be difficult to implement.

Enter the palace.

Xue Ye was sitting at his desk with his eyes closed, resting. The deceased was serving him, not daring to say a word.

"Your son greets you, father!" Xue Qinghe bowed.

As the leader of the top three sects, Ning Fengzhi's status is equivalent to that of a Titled Douluo, and he has the power to meet the king without bowing.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for disturbing you."

Xue Ye did not fall asleep.

As his health deteriorated, his energy was far from enough to handle state affairs. He felt tired after just reviewing a few memorials.

Slowly opening his eyes, he whispered, "Qinghe, did anything big happen during your time as regent?"

If it wasn't a big deal, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't have entered the palace with him.

"Your Majesty, Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng are simply outrageous." Ning Fengzhi said straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Xue Ye was shocked. If these two people offended the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it would be a big trouble.

"If my brother and son have been offended, I hope that Master Ning will forgive me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood."

"Father, this is what happened." Xue Qinghe told Xue Ye everything that happened during the day.

"Someone, tell Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng to come see me immediately!" Xue Ye's face was extremely ugly, his brows gradually raised, showing signs of being angry.

"Father, please calm down. I will handle this matter properly." Xue Qinghe spoke quickly.

Looking at the fully-fledged prince in front of him, and thinking of the evil Fourth Prince Xue Beng, Xue Ye felt very uncomfortable.

They are all born from the same parents, so why is there such a big difference between them?

Now it seems that letting Xue Beng follow Prince Xue Xing to learn is definitely not a wise choice. (End of this chapter)
