"... Yes, Rong Dao, you are very good. If this trip succeeds in retrieving the sacred fruit, I will go to your majesty to get you up." said the empress.
"I don't care about the merits, I just want to contribute to the Shenhai Dynasty!" Fang Yu said, "Excuse me, the empress, when can I set off?"
"Tomorrow I will come to you again, and then I will open the gate to that ancient city for you." said the empress, "you are waiting for me here."
"Good!" Fang Yu replied.
The empress took a deep look at Fang Yu, and then the phantom began to flicker and gradually dissipated.
When the shadow of the empress completely dissipated, the coercion that belonged to her also disappeared.
"It seems that I have concealed the eyes of this empress... Lin Batian's profound energy is really useful." Fang Yu stood up and said in his heart.
At this time, his eyes were a little awe-inspiring.
The feeling that the empress gave him was that she was deeply concealed.
He couldn't hear anything unusual in his eyes, breath, and tone of speech, so he couldn't explore more.
As for the horrible shadow behind the empress that Cang Yu had said, he couldn't even touch it.
Because, the empress only descended into an incorporeal body, not a real body.
However, Fang Yu's current focus is not on the Empress.
Sacred Fruit, the ancient city...
These two messages are what he cares most about.
"Two sacred fruits appear at once, that is to say... only the last sacred fruit is not present." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said in his heart, "The question is...Where is the ancient city?"
Judging from the description of the emperor, this ancient city should be similar to the existence of ancient relics.
But the sacred fruit has always appeared directly in various places in the summer, why did it appear in such a place this time
Also, the sacred fruit in the southwest mangrove forest, the emperor said he wanted other people to go.
This candidate is probably Cang Yu.
After all, the empress currently wants to protect Cangyu's position as the crown prince.
"That's it... If you want me to go to a dangerous place, should you want me to die there? So as to wipe out a big competitor for Cangyu?" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, and it suddenly dawned on him.
…
In the deep sea, within the main territory of the Shenhai Dynasty.
In a large hall, the empress sat on a high seat, her eyes closed tightly, motionless.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
"Emperor, on the side of His Royal Highness Cangyu, I have notified him of the specific matters..." An old voice sounded.
"Good," the emperor replied.
"Emperor, you let Rong Dao go to that ancient city, do you want to use the Primordial creatures there... to obliterate it?" the old voice asked.
"Not only that, you have to follow into it." A coldness flashed in the eyes of the empress, and said, "There must be no competitors in the position of the crown prince. What I want is foolproof, so... You follow Rong Dao to enter, If he is lucky and is not killed by the creatures in the ancient city, then... you can help me wipe him out."
"In short, Rong Dao must die in that ancient city."
"As for the holy fruit, you bring it out."
"... Empress, if you do this, your Majesty's side..." the old voice asked hesitantly.
"The reason why I let Rong Dao enter that ancient city is to avoid being discovered by your majesty." The empress said, "as long as you enter that place, your majesty will not notice it."
"Understand," the old voice replied.
…
"The queen mother asked me to go to the mangrove forest in the southwest to get the holy fruit!" Cang Yu's tone was a little excited, and Fang Yu said through the soul seal.
"Your mother's queen has also come to see me." Fang Yu said lightly.
"What!?" Cang Yu reacted even more, "You, how can you see her!? She didn't notice... "
"Since I can still talk to you like this, it means she didn't find my disguise." Fang Yu said calmly.
"She, what is she looking for you for?" Cang Yu asked.
"Simply put, she came to see me for you," Fang Yu said.
"What do you mean?" Cang Yu asked.
"Because I killed nine princes in a row and made your mother think that I have the threat of fighting for the crown prince, so she wanted to send me to a dangerous place and let me die in it." Fang Yu said, "I am now. His identity is Prince Rong Dao, you should be able to understand it, right?"
"Understand..." Cang Yu replied, "Then you... do you want to go in?"
"Of course." Fang Yu raised his brows and said, "As long as there is a holy fruit, I will go in regardless of whether your mother mentioned it or not."
"Then the sacred fruit I got in the southwest mangrove...what should I do with it?" Cang Yu asked again.
"The holy fruit is useless if you don't gather six, so... you just give it back to your mother." Fang Yu said, "As for the one I got in the ancient city... I'll talk about it then."
"I'm thinking, what if I go to the mangroves... and can't get the holy fruit? There are many princes who will also go..." Cang Yu said worriedly.
"... Your mother has done it for this purpose, are you still worried about such trivial things?" Fang Yu said a little speechlessly.
"How can I not be afraid!? I don't have the strength of yours! If I die, I will really die!" Cang Yu was very excited.
"Don't worry, I think your mother is determined to put you in the position of prince. If you want to commit suicide, she won't let you do it." Fang Yu said.
Hearing Fang Yu's words, Cang Yu recalled what the empress said to her before.
Indeed... Judging from the empress's importance to the position of prince, he just wanted to commit suicide.
"You said... Why does my mother want me to fight for the crown prince? When my father is still at the peak, even if I become the crown prince, I have to wait for an unknown amount of time before I can sit on the crown..." Cang Yu said again.
"Don't you have an answer to this question yourself?" Fang Yu asked.
Cang Yu's heart jumped suddenly.
He did think about that.
But as soon as this thought appeared, he felt suffocated for a while, and he didn't dare to think deeply!
"What your mother wants to do, our human dynasty often happens, what's so fuss about?" Fang Yu said, "I think your Shenhai dynasty was established by imitating our human dynasty, right?"
"I, I don't think the queen would do this, she..." Cang Yu's heart beat fiercely, and his brain was in chaos.
If the empress really wants to replace the emperor, then he is a very crucial piece.
The problem is that if the empress fails, he will die invincible. After the empress succeeded, as a chess piece, he also lost its function, and it is likely to be erased!
There is a dead end before and after!
Realizing this made him sweat and panic.
After all, what he cares most about is his life.
"Don't worry, since you have been deeply cooperating with me now, I will naturally save your life." Fang Yu said lightly, "but the premise is... you must obey all my orders. If you don't obey... then you will live on your own. Kill yourself."
"I, I know..." Where does Cang Yu have other thoughts at this time? Can only hold on to the last straw!
