Chapter 527 Succession to the Throne

Qianzuru changed the subject: "So, what do you think of your daughter?"

The emperor answered without thinking: "It is mediocre and not of great use."

"Does she listen to you?"

"good."

Unlike Xi Yeming, Feiya has developed a naive character since she was young under the influence of her parents. Living in the palace, she naturally obeys the emperor's orders.

"The Desire Sacred Will doesn't obey you, but what about him?"

Hearing this, the emperor said reluctantly: "It's OK."

Two are ok, two meanings.

There is no need to elaborate on Xi Yeming, his strong record has already proved his strength.

Qianhe didn't stop talking and continued to ask: "Are the two brothers and sisters on good terms?"

The emperor thought for a moment and remembered that when he questioned his daughter that day, Xi Yeming took the initiative to jump out and take responsibility.

"Ok?"

He suddenly understood what Chizuru meant.

"Are you trying to persuade me to let Feiya inherit the throne and let Xi Yeming assist her?"

Qianhe snapped her fingers and winked at the emperor: "That's right."

Xi Yeming has complicated feelings towards this country. It is not so much that he has feelings for the empire, but rather that many of the people he has feelings for are in the empire.

My younger sister Fia is one of them.

The empire will definitely prosper with Xi Yeming. The reputation of the Ten Aspirations of the Sacred Will alone is enough to make other countries feel intimidated.

The mediocre sister is no match for those old foxes in politics. The kind-hearted brother will not sit idly by, so he uses this method to make Fia a wedge to pin down Xi Yeming.

This is a good way to tie someone up with a rope.

"What if," the emperor recalled the troubles he had experienced in the struggle for the throne, "my son wants to..."

Qianhe guessed what he was worried about, "If that happens, it only means that the throne has returned to the hands of those who should have it."

It is reasonable and logical that the throne should belong to Xi Yeming, but because of what happened seventeen years ago, he was separated from the royal family. Using a puppet emperor sister to tie him down is the best solution at the moment.

But after all, it's not him who is actually in the position, so there are bound to be many setbacks.

Neuhak looked at the wine in the glass, picked up the glass and drank a lot, then said: "If he was more obedient, he wouldn't have caused me so much trouble. He obviously has the title of the Ten Wills of the Holy Will, and lives such a comfortable life, but he still turns a blind eye to the future of this country."

Listening to the emperor's complaints, Chizuru laughed as if she was amused.

The emperor glanced at her: "What?"

Qianzuru put her arms on the wine table and asked without hesitation: "Huck, what were you doing when you were sixteen?"

After hearing this, Neuhak didn't want to recall his decadent time and simply didn't answer her.

Qian He would not indulge him and said bluntly: "Before you met Sister Mi Lian, you were still a prince who spent every day in the tavern, getting drunk and indulging in luxury, right?"

"What exactly do you want to say..." A hint of displeasure appeared on the emperor's face.

"When Sacred Will of Desire was sixteen, he repelled the coalition forces of five nations and defeated a certain force in the real world. Ask yourself, can you do the same at sixteen?"

Neuhac remained silent, which he certainly couldn't do at the age of sixteen.

"You see him being carefree and free, and maybe that's how he wants others to see him. There are people in the world who won't casually show their vulnerability to others, especially to their family members who are very close to them."

One could seem to see the moved expression beneath the emperor's mask, and he listened attentively to Chizuru's speech.

"Even if you are an emperor, if you make an irreparable mistake, you will comfort yourself by saying that human power will eventually be exhausted or that the emperor has the right to make mistakes, and hide your embarrassment."

The emperor finally couldn't hold back his suppressed emotions. "Yes, he defeated the coalition forces of the five nations and performed brilliantly in the competition. He performed better than the previous emperor. He is a genius among geniuses."

"So what's wrong with me being strict with such a genius and having higher expectations?"

In the eyes of the emperor, Xi Yeming's unwillingness to return to the royal family was completely self-righteous and willful. As a father, he needed to show his authority to his rebellious child.

His words really made Chizuru sneer, but fortunately Chizuru would not get angry because of such a small matter.

"I don't know if you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid."

The emperor was angry and asked, "What did you say?"

Qian He said calmly: "You underestimate this world too much, and overestimate the situation your son is in."

Neuhak has been in the position of emperor for too long and can no longer see even the most normal situation. She mocks the emperor for thinking it is too simple.

"It's the first time he faces an enemy, the first time he sees a vast army, the first time he faces millions of people as an enemy. If he's not careful, he'll be torn to pieces. He also has to be careful of the twenty-three families who might stab him in the back at any time."

Chizuru couldn't help but stare at the drink in the cup. She felt deeply sympathetic towards the situation of Milianel's son.

"The World Junction is a place that relies heavily on talent, hard work, and luck. To be able to stand out there, Desire Saint must have gone through a lot of hardships that even he himself could not bear."

Although magicians from the Twenty-Three Families appear in many generations of the Ten Wills of the Holy Will, this does not mean that the Twenty-Three Families are a correct existence.

Sufficient resources can turn an ordinary offspring into an excellent magician, but the children of ordinary people receive insufficient resources. Without the mediation of the Holy Shield Clan and the Kilgore Academy, the world border will only get closer and closer to disintegration.

"He is indeed a genius, but it's just like your excuse - human power is limited, and this was his best at the time and his limit."

Qianhe was so merciless that she even forgot that she was in the empire. If the emperor wanted to, she could die here in a matter of minutes.

The emperor didn't say anything else. He slumped his hands on the table, staring straight ahead, no one knew what he was thinking.

Qian He thought to himself: "Why isn't he talking? Did I break his defense?"

"Humph," Neuhac's mood eased a little after a while, "Anyway, a mediocre emperor like me is pathetic in the eyes of you talented magicians, right?"

Seeing this, Qianzuru couldn't help but snort and laugh, "Anyone who is not a genius, as long as they know what you have done, will think you are pathetic enough, Hake."

……

Xi Yeming, who had nothing to do, was basking in the sun on the roof of the attic. It seemed that he had not been so leisurely for a long time.

There are no enemies.

No disaster.

There is no fighting.

To him, it was an eerily comfortable calm.

Xi Yeming suddenly remembered the relative he had met twice, "I wonder how Grandma Guoxin is doing?"

He hasn't seen his grandmother since Changsheng Village.

"Go visit grandma when you have the chance."

Thinking of this, Xi Yeming smiled.

Suddenly, his eyes were shrouded in darkness, and someone covered Xi Yeming's eyes with his hands from behind.
