Chapter 5562

In the early morning, the sun shines on Dongdu, giving the tall buildings a light golden hue, making the city even more magnificent.

The imperial palace, located in the center of Dongdu, covers an area of ​​10,000 acres, equivalent to a city within a city, and is built in a very grand and magnificent way.

At the gate of the palace, a carriage stopped, and Lian Shang, who was driving the horse, got off the carriage and handed the token in his hand to the guard at the gate.

After the guard saw the token, his face was solemn, and he immediately opened the palace gate to let him in.

Among all the princes, only Prince Hui has the right to pass through the palace.

Because he did not participate in the fight for the throne that year, this was a privilege given to him by the emperor and the elders after consultation.

The carriage drove slowly in the palace, and soon it arrived at Dongyang Palace.

Dongyang Palace is the bedroom of the current emperor of the Anxia Dynasty. It is heavily guarded, and no one can enter without Wanyan Canglan's order.

The carriage stopped in front of Dongyang Palace, Lian Shang stood on one side, Wanyan Hui got off the carriage, and the soldiers guarding outside Dongyang Palace saluted together, but did not make any sound, as if they were afraid of disturbing the emperor in Dongyang Palace.

"Lian Chong, report it."

Wanyan Hui stopped in front of an old man and said calmly.

The old man named Lian Chong looked and looked a bit similar.

In fact, they were cousins.

The Lian family has always served the Wanyan family, and the elite among them will become the close confidants of the elites of the Wanyan family.

Lian Chong and Lian Shang are such elites.

Of course, they each serve different masters, and they have no feelings for each other, and they will only obey their masters' orders.

"Prince Hui, wait a moment."

Lian Chong bowed slightly and immediately entered Dongyang Palace.

Not long after, Lian Chong returned, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, saying: "Prince Hui, please come in."

Wanyan Hui nodded and walked into Dongyang Palace.

"Fifth Emperor, your sudden visit to Beijing really surprised me."

Inside the palace, a man in a dragon robe stood behind a desk, holding a brush in his hand, writing something. He heard footsteps and looked up at Wanyan Hui who walked in.

The man was dignified, handsome, and restrained.

This man was the emperor of the Anxia Dynasty, Wanyan Canglan.

"Greetings, brother."

Wanyan Hui bowed slightly and walked to the desk, saying, "Brother, to be honest, I came to Beijing this time to ask for something."

"What is it that requires you to go there in person?"

Wanyan Canglan put down the pen in his hand. On the rice paper on his desk, there was a word written with only one stroke, "one".

This word is vigorous and powerful, with a majestic momentum, quite like a dragon soaring into the sky and looking down on the world.

Wanyan Hui looked away from the desk and said, "Royal brother, I want to ask you to open the portal and send a friend to the Sea of ​​Gods."

"Go to the Sea of ​​Gods?"

Wanyan Canglan was silent for a moment and said, "You know that since that incident, the number of places for the Great Xia Dynasty to travel to the Sea of ​​Gods has been greatly reduced, and there are only a few opportunities a year.

Although there is still one quota this year, it will never be used easily unless it is necessary.

I am afraid that your friend will not be able to go to the Sea of ​​Gods."

Wanyan Hui complained, "Royal brother, I have already promised that friend. I believe you will not embarrass me, right?"

"The portal is in my hands. I haven't agreed yet, but you agreed. Are you making the decision for me, the emperor?"

Wanyan Canglan looked calm and his tone was calm, but it gave people a sharp feeling.

Wanyan Hui found that Wanyan Canglan's attitude seemed different from before.

Although Wanyan Canglan was a cold person and used all means to fight for the throne, he was always very enthusiastic towards Wanyan Hui.

But Wanyan Canglan's attitude today seemed very cold, even a little hostile.

Wanyan Hui frowned slightly and said, "Brother, I promised that friend that I would ask for your permission. Please don't embarrass me."

"Is it a very important friend?" Wanyan Canglan asked.

"It is indeed a very important friend."

Wanyan Hui did not elaborate. He was worried that the poisoning of Wei Lingyin would be exposed, which would make Wanyan Canglan on guard.

"Since it is a very important friend, I can't refuse your face. However, it is too hasty to allow this person to use the last opportunity to go to the Sea of ​​Gods this year."

Wanyan Canglan thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "My 500th birthday is coming. At that time, I will choose the one I like best from many gifts and then fulfill a wish of the gift giver.

At that time, you let that person give a generous gift, I will choose his gift, and then agree to his wish to go to the Sea of ​​Gods.

In this way, it is reasonable and reasonable, so that the royal family and the officials of the court will have nothing to say."

Hearing this, Wanyan Hui hesitated.

After all, he was planning to question Wei Lingyin about the poisoning on Wanyan Canglan's birthday.

At that time, the elders of the clan and all the civil and military officials would be present, which was a great opportunity.

There must be an explanation for who was right and who was wrong.

"Why, Fifth Brother, you don't agree?"

Wanyan Canglan smiled and said, "I have already promised you, just wait a few days, you can't make it difficult for me."

Wanyan Hui said, "That's not the case. I'm just thinking about what kind of gift my friend needs to be liked by you, my brother."

Wanyan Canglan said, "Any gift, I say I like it, can anyone refute it?"

"If the gifts are too bad, it's hard to guarantee that others won't say you're doing something behind the scenes." Wanyan Hui joked.

"Haha."

Wanyan Canglan smiled and said, "Even if it's a secret operation, I'm the emperor, the king of the Anxia Dynasty, who can't accept it?"

Wanyan Hui said, "Thank you, brother. I'll go back and tell my friends the good news."

Wanyan Canglan smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you can't let other brothers know about this, otherwise they'll say I'm biased."

"Don't worry, brother, I won't tell anyone else about this."

Wanyan Hui bowed and left.

After Wanyan Hui left the palace, Wanyan Canglan's eyes gradually became gloomy. He snorted coldly, looked at the word "one" on the rice paper on the table, and said in a deep voice: "The Anxia Dynasty is my territory, and everyone is my people. I want you to live or die, and no one can disobey."

After the voice fell, Wanyan Canglan pressed his palm on the rice paper, and the rice paper with the word "one" suddenly burned, and the raging fire fluttered up, and then gradually disappeared into the void.

At this time, Lian Chong walked into the palace and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, do you want me to..."

"No."

Wanyan Canglan interrupted in a deep voice, saying: "If the fifth brother is sensible, then wish me a happy birthday. If he has bad intentions, my birthday will be his death day."
