Since the defeat in Chihai battle.

The demon clan, who learned from his mistakes, carefully planned a game of chess with a time span of up to a hundred years.

And the spearhead of this game of big chess is directly aimed at the foundation of the Jade Ding Dynasty.

More than a hundred years have passed now.

When the half-demon chess piece arranged by the demon clan was finally exposed, the demon clan's plan was clearly put to the surface.

Yes.

Through years of penetration of Half Demon chess piece.

The demon clan has captured all the royal family of the Jade Ding Dynasty in one go.

To be precise.

In addition to the new seventeenth prince in recent years, all those who are qualified to inherit the throne in the Jade Ding Dynasty are involved in the Half Demons without exception.

Even though some princes are not aware of it, sometimes the yellow mud falls into their crotch, and it’s either shit or shit.

To some extent.

They have all lost the qualification to inherit the throne.

After all, out of concerns in all aspects, no one wants to see a prince who was once suspected of colluding with demons ascend to the throne.

Because no one dares to take this risk.

Especially the deaths of the crown prince and the fourth prince and the third prince indirectly illustrate the seriousness of the matter.

Xia Mingyuan successfully eliminated the demons lurking in the imperial city through the post-production, and on the surface it seemed that he had successfully won a game.

But in fact, this is the result of the demon clan's intentional work.

When Xia Mingyuan found out that the demon had already penetrated the royal family, he immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap carefully set by the demon clan.

Moreover, this trap is a conspiracy that the demons are just making!

Now the emperor of the dynasty is not long, and almost all the heirs are involved in the demons.

They must face a difficult problem now.

Who do they choose to inherit the throne?

"It seems that the demon is better this time."

Headquarters of the Demon-Shenzhen Department.

Dou Yao leaned freely and unrestrainedly by the door, tilted his head to look at Xia Mingyuan who was silently looking at the palace without saying a word.

"Last night, Your Majesty invited me to the palace for a night of negotiations."

Xia Mingyuan said calmly.

“Is there any result?”

Dou Yao raised his eyebrows and said.

"The Seventeenth Prince, he is the only person who is not involved in this storm and is qualified to inherit the throne."

Xia Mingyuan said softly.

"Haha, after all, the Seventeenth Prince was born by the emperor in recent years. It is normal that he has not been involved with the demons. Perhaps the demons did not expect the emperor to become stronger and stronger in such old age."

Dou Yao smiled, his words filled with jokes.

He had no awe of the emperor.

Xia Mingyuan had long been accustomed to this, not to mention that he was not the only one who had no respect for the emperor.

Basically, this is true for all practitioners who are somewhat capable.

Undeniable.

The emperor of the Jade Ding Dynasty did hold considerable power and had a strong deterrent effect on those casual cultivators and small and medium-sized sects.

The problem is.

As long as the practitioners do not do anything that harms the will of heaven, even the emperor cannot control them.

If the emperor dares to interfere in the world of cultivation, the major sects will stand up and oppose it immediately. If it makes too much trouble, even the emperor's position may not be stable.

"Although the Seventeenth Prince is qualified to inherit the throne, he is still too young after all."

Xia Mingyuan shook his head and said.

Compared to ordinary people.

The seventeenth prince, who is only in his twenties, is not young, and even his children may have already been in elementary school.

But if he is the heir to the throne.

The Seventeenth Prince is indeed too young.

Both political means or life experience are too lacking.

"So what if you are young? At worst, you can just treat him as a puppet on the throne."

Dou Yao said lightly.

"The major sects do have the same meaning."

Xia Mingyuan obviously did not care about Dou Yao's rebellious words, and even had the intention to continue discussing with him.

The choice of heir to the throne must be recognized by various sects.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the major sects know that the royal family wants the seventeenth prince to become the heir.

In the eyes of major sects.

Instead of choosing an heir who is involved with the demon, it is better to choose a clean heir.

It doesn’t matter if you are young, it’s important to be innocent.

Anyway, after the emperor's death, Xia Mingyuan's status was still unshakable, and he had no intention of the throne and power. Therefore, no matter who ascended the throne, it was inseparable from Xia Mingyuan's assistance.

Since Xia Mingyuan is in charge, as long as he is not involved with the demon, anyone can do so.

"What does the emperor mean?"

Dou Yao was not surprised by the attitudes of the major sects at all.

"Your Majesty is still hesitating."

Xia Mingyuan said calmly.

"Now Your Majesty has recruited the Seventeenth Prince into the palace. It seems that he is ready to conduct a good investigation. If the Seventeenth Prince successfully passes His Majesty's investigation, the Seventeenth Prince will definitely become the heir."

"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that the final throne would fall on the most unlikely seventeenth prince..."

Dou Yao couldn't help but smacked his lips.

"After that being said, is this seventeenth prince really not a problem at all?"

"Please don't underestimate the abilities of the Demon Suppressing Division and the Royal Family."

Xia Mingyuan shook his head and said.

"If the Seventeenth Prince is really wrong, we will never see him as the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne."

"I just think it's a coincidence, or the luck of this seventeenth prince is a bit extraordinary, so it will inevitably make people suspicious."

Dou Yao said lazily.

"There are also others you can think of."

Xia Mingyuan understates.

"Since that's the case, I won't say more."

Dou Yao shrugged.

"By the way, what will you do next for those two little guys? You miscalculated before!"

"I have my own arrangements about them."

Xia Mingyuan still said calmly.

As for miscalculation.

He naturally knew what Dou Yao meant.

When Li Huan and Nian Fan were in danger, Dou Yao did not take action in secret.

Because Xia Mingyuan wanted to use this to lead Xia Fan.

After all, if the offspring is in danger, he cannot remain indifferent, right?

As a result, he miscalculated.

Xia Fan was really indifferent.

This made Xia Mingyuan have to wonder whether Nian Fan was Xia Fan's descendant, or that this senior had already entered the state of being in a state of being in love with the supreme? Or maybe the other party had already understood his own thoughts?

After all, in front of powerful people, there are few things in the world that can hide from them.

"I finally got what I wanted after taking a walk for such a big round."

at the same time.

Xia Fan, who was sorting out books in Chongwen Academy, suddenly felt something, looked up at the direction of the palace, and a faint smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

In this imperial city.

No one knows the true identity of the Seventeenth Prince better than him.

I have to say that the demon did a pretty job this time. A series of confusing behaviors directly led to the dragon and phoenix and supported his people to the throne of the Jade Ding Dynasty.

But Xia Mingyuan and the major sects and others were unaware of anything.
