If the confrontation could drag on until the prince returned to the capital, the relatives would still have some hope. Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of Shangguan Leng, the Imperial Preceptor of Dongling, shattered their dream of controlling the throne.

The myth of the Shangguan family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Dongling since Ximen Weide. His transcendent status makes the national preceptor second only to the emperor in dignity.

Thirteen years ago, Emperor Sidi Ximen Lian's ascension to the throne was not without objections. It was finally successful, firstly, because King Jingxi, who had the loudest voice, voluntarily withdrew, and secondly, because of the approval of the Shangguan family.

Although Shangguan Lengyi has been in the Western Regions for more than ten years, the influence accumulated by the Shangguan family from generation to generation cannot be worn away in a little time.

It turned out that King Jingxi was not the only one who saw Emperor Si for the last time. Shangguan Leng was also in the palace that day. Even the queen could not deny this, because the "miraculous doctor" she had tried her best to invite had returned to the capital.

Shangguan Leng.[

The imperial edict was true, and what King Jingxi said was also true. Shangguan Leng treated Ximen Xuan with the dignity of a master, completely breaking the last hope of his relatives to control power.

The Si She Jian, Qin Tian Jian, Shang Bao Si, and Jiaofang Si immediately prepared all the ceremonial tools and procedures needed for the enthronement, and the overall situation was decided.

"That day, early in the morning, send an official to inform the Tiandi Sect."

"When the time comes, ring the bells and drums, and the emperor will serve at the Donghua Gate."

In the first year of Zhanhong, Ximenxuan, the tenth emperor of Dongling and the Emperor Ximenxuan who had mixed reputations in history, immediately launched a bloody purge after he ascended the throne. Within five years, the Queen Mother was deposed and the Prince was expelled.

, half of the imperial officials were killed or demoted. Of course, to Xiang Xue, all of this was nothing more.

There were two lines of guards outside the royal study, with cold faces.

Ximen Xuan was half leaning on the back of his chair, with a sneer hanging on his thin lips, and the loss and anger that could not be hidden in his eyes.

The man in front of him has flowing silver hair, and his appearance that never seems to age can still confuse people. Although he was once the teacher of these two brother emperors, Shangguan Leng is not actually old, he is only three years older than Ximen Xuan.

It's just that his qualifications are so good that even in the Shangguan family where there are many strange people, he is still an odd one. Being able to become the prince's teacher at the age of only sixteen is very impressive.

"After so many years, sir, it seems that he has not changed at all. Even his thoughts of escaping from this palace are surprisingly similar."

His slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and those who were most familiar with Ximen Xuan knew that this was a precursor to his rage.

"Your Majesty, this is what you promised yourself. You have no words for it. I will prove the authenticity of the imperial edict for you. You agree to Wei Chen's conditions."

"Why five years? After five years, are you really willing to return to the imperial court to assist me? How can I be sure that this is not a delaying strategy by my husband? Five years later, I will disappear without a trace! Although I will one day rule the world, I still can't.

I don’t want to use it to find anyone. I’ve searched enough for the past fourteen years!” He stood up suddenly and put his hands on the table. The pressure of the emperor filled the imperial study room.

Shangguan Leng was not afraid. He raised his right hand and made an oath, which was able to slightly dispel the concerns in the emperor's eyes. No one in the Shangguan family could escape the punishment of violating that oath.

"Your Majesty, you don't take that child seriously. She is just a bait to lure Wei Chen to show up." He sighed softly: "Wei Chen also admitted that half of returning to Beijing this time was for the fight for the Dongling throne.
