C519 Farmers and Snakes

Longyuan Empire, Imperial Palace.

"Ye Lan."

In a luxurious palace, Dragon Abyss Emperor summoned Ye Lan alone. At this moment, his face was full of smiles when he saw Ye Lan's safe return.

"Your Majesty."

Ye Lan greeted Dragon Abyss Emperor. He found that Dragon Abyss Emperor's hair had turned completely white, and he looked much older than before.

It could be seen that during this period of time, he had to deal with the Myriad Devil Cult's counterattack at any time. He also had to consider the invasion of the Skywind Empire, and he had to be constantly on guard against the rebellion of the Spirit King. This had exhausted the man in front of him.

When he thought about how he had brought a lot of troubles to Dragon Abyss Emperor, Ye Lan couldn't help but feel guilty.

"During this period of time, I have troubled His Majesty."

Ye Lan said.

"What are you talking about? You are the Lord Yan that Zhen has appointed. If Zhen does not protect you, who will protect you?"

Dragon Abyss Emperor waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, this is the Immortal Void Herb that I have requested from the Profound Moon Sect."

Suddenly, Ye Lan said and took out an Immortal Void Herb.

"Good, good, good, this is great! During this period of time, my mother had a splitting headache every time she saw a rainy night, and she was in so much pain that she wished she was dead.

I have been looking forward to your return with the Immortal Void Herb. Now, I finally have something on my mind."

Seeing that Ye Lan had indeed obtained the Immortal Void Herb from the Heavenly Wind Profound Moon Sect, Dragon Abyss Emperor couldn't help but feel happy and relieved in his heart.

"Time is of the essence. Brat, immediately help the Empress Dowager refine the Divine Void Pill and remove the hidden dangers."

Ye Lan said.

"That's good."

Dragon Abyss Emperor said with a smile.

"My son."

After that, Dragon Abyss Emperor ordered.

"Royal Father, what orders do you have?"

Second Prince stepped forward, cupped his fists and asked respectfully.

"Bring Ye Lan to help Empress Dowager refine the Divine Void Pill and remove the hidden disease. You must listen to Ye Lan's orders. At the same time, the Imperial Physician in your Life Palace is on standby and obeys Ye Lan's orders."

Dragon Abyss Emperor instructed.

"Your son will accept this order."

Second Prince replied respectfully.

"Your majesty, I will take my leave now."

Ye Lan cupped his fist and smiled.

"En! Thank you!"

Dragon Abyss Emperor said with a smile.

Immediately, Ye Lan left and followed Second Prince all the way to Cihua Palace.

At the same time, Second Prince summoned another palace guard and asked him to gather all the imperial physicians in the palace and head to Cihua Palace to await orders.

"Your majesty, the Spirit King requests an audience!"

In the palace, Dragon Abyss Emperor dismissed Ye Lan and Second Prince and sat at the table to review the memorials. Outside the palace, Eunuch Hua walked in hurriedly and spoke.

"Let him in!"

Dragon Abyss Emperor first frowned, not understanding why the Spirit King had suddenly entered the palace to request an audience.

But he still let Eunuch Hua go and fetch the Spirit King.

Currently, the Dragon Abyss was in a critical period of time. Dragon Abyss Emperor couldn't give the Spirit King a cold look for the time being.

Even though he knew that the spirit king had once been in the Heavenly Wind Continent, and had secretly allied with the Heavenly Wind Crown Prince, Lee Cangfeng, in order to kill Ye Lan, he didn't put Dragon Abyss Emperor in his eyes at all. However, Dragon Abyss Emperor still didn't dare to make a move against the spirit king.

There was no other way. The influence and power of the Spirit King was too great. It could be said that in the entire Dragon Abyss, the Spirit King was only second to him.

Once the spiritual king raised his arm and shouted, there would surely be many ministers and generals in the Longyuan Empire who would agree to it and join him, openly rebelling against him!

That was something Dragon Abyss Emperor wasn't willing to face for the time being.

Eunuch Hua received the order and bowed as he left. Not long after, the doors of the palace opened. Under the lead of Eunuch Hua, the spirit king walked into the palace where Dragon Abyss Emperor usually read and read the memorials.

"This official greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

Upon entering the palace, the Spirit King immediately knelt down and greeted Dragon Abyss Emperor, Long live Dragon Abyss Emperor!

"My dear minister, rise!"

Dragon Abyss Emperor stood up and quickly helped the spirit king up with a warm smile on his face.

"Eunuch Hua, order the chefs to deliver some snacks and tea."

Dragon Abyss Emperor first called the spirit king to take a seat, then looked at Eunuch Hua and instructed.

"This old servant obeys."

Eunuch Hua received the order and left.

"May I know why the beloved minister suddenly entered the palace to request an audience?"

Dragon Abyss Emperor looked at the Spirit King and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Yan and Ye Lan have returned to the palace to see Your Majesty. Is this true?"

The Spirit King said solemnly.

Today, he received an urgent letter from Han Fengye. He learned that Ye Lan had returned safely and had returned to Imperial City.

At the same time, he also received news that Second Prince had brought Ye Lan into the palace to meet the Saint. He couldn't help but feel terrified, afraid that Ye Lan would report him and say that he had secretly colluded with the Heavenly Wind Crown Prince. If Your Majesty found out about this, he would surely suffer the wrath of the Divine Emperor!

"There is indeed such a thing."

Dragon Abyss Emperor nodded.

"May I ask, what did Lord Yan say to Your Majesty?"

The Spirit King asked.

If it was an ordinary general, who would dare to ask Dragon Abyss Emperor this question?

However, the Spirit King was different. He had a high position, so naturally, he would dare to do so.

"Report your safety and return to the palace to get rid of Mother's hidden disease."

Dragon Abyss Emperor replied.

"Is that all?"

The Spirit King looked at Dragon Abyss Emperor with suspicion.

"My dear servant, have you forgotten your identity? Don't tell me you dare to question me?"

Dragon Abyss Emperor's brows knit slightly, and a displeased expression appeared on his face.

Although he knew that the Spirit King had the intention to rebel a long time ago, he didn't expect that the Spirit King would be so bold as to question him, the ruler of a country, in front of him!

"This official doesn't dare. Please calm down, Your Majesty."

The Spirit King was startled. He quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Rise!"

Dragon Abyss Emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Spirit King stood up and sat down again.

"My dear minister, if there's nothing else, you can leave for now! I still have many memorials that I have yet to review."

Dragon Abyss Emperor said.

He did not want to talk too much about Guan Yelan with the Spirit King. Now... He already had the intention to send the Spirit King away, and then think of a way in the future... Weakening the influence and power of the Spiritual King in the court and secretly controlling the Spiritual King. He wanted to prevent the Spiritual King from jeopardizing his position.

"Your majesty, this official has one more thing to discuss."

The Spirit King hurriedly said.

"What is it?"

"Your majesty, King of the Celestial Wind State has ordered Your Majesty to hand over Ye Lan, or else he will send troops to invade Dragon Abyss.

This official is bold. I hope that Your Majesty will take the bigger picture into consideration and hand Ye Lan over to Skywind Empire to deal with, and return peace to our Dragon Abyss!"

The Spirit King said.

This was the reason why he came here today.

He would use this opportunity to speak to Dragon Abyss Emperor and hand Ye Lan over to Tian Feng to deal with him.

This way, he would be able to get his revenge, and also prevent Dragon Abyss from being invaded by Tian Feng.

"My dear minister, have you heard of the story of the farmer and the snake?"

Dragon Abyss Emperor asked slowly.

"I have never heard of it."

The Spirit King was a reckless man, and he had the status he had today. He had to fight on the battlefield and obtain outstanding achievements in order to become the current Spirit King.

Below one person, above ten thousand people.

He usually did not have enough time to read poetry. Naturally, he had never heard of the stories of farmers and snakes.

"The farmers and snakes are talking about a poisonous snake that fell into a trap and was rescued by a passing farmer.

However, the poisonous snake didn't know how to repay kindness, so it bit the farmer to death"

Dragon Abyss Emperor explained.

"I don't know why Your Majesty told me this story?"

The Spirit King was puzzled.

"Do you know what happened to the poisonous snake that bit the farmer to death?"

"I don't know?"

"It was punished, the man said. After it bit the farmer to death, other passers-by saw it, and then it was killed!"

Dragon Abyss Emperor let out a long breath, his face calm.

"Do you understand the meaning of this story?"

"This lowly subject is stupid, I don't know."

"This story tells us that a person must know how to repay kindness with gratitude. One must not repay kindness with ingratitude. Once one is devoid of conscience, one will definitely receive retribution!"

Dragon Abyss Emperor said with a serious expression.

His words were warning himself that in order to treat his mother's illness, Ye Lan did not hesitate to go through life and death situations to seize the Immortal Void Herb from the Heavenly Wind Profound Moon Sect. This was a favor to his royal family.

If he, Dragon Abyss Emperor, returned kindness with ingratitude, he would be despised by the world. If that was the case, how would he have the face to be the ruler of this country in the future?

At the same time, his words were also meant to persuade the Spirit King in secret, hoping that the Spirit King would know how to repay kindness with gratitude!

After all, the Spirit King's current status was all because of him. He was also the one who personally conferred the title of the prince.

Dragon Abyss Emperor did not wish for the Spirit King to become the poisonous snake in the story in the future!

On the opposite side, after the Spirit King heard Dragon Abyss Emperor's words, he seemed to have understood something and vaguely understood the meaning of Your Majesty's words.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."

After a long time, the Spirit King spoke.

"You're welcome."

Dragon Abyss Emperor replied.

"Your majesty, I will take my leave first."

Finally, the Spirit King stood up and left.1

He knew very well that it was impossible for Dragon Abyss Emperor to make a move against Ye Lan, and it was even more impossible for him to hand Ye Lan over to Skywind Empire to deal with.

Otherwise, the people of the world would definitely scold Dragon Abyss Emperor for being ungrateful, and would forever be despised by the people of the future.

However, the Spirit King was unwilling to accept this. After leaving the Imperial Palace, his eyes were filled with a cold and furious expression.

Walking on the path out of the Palace, the Spirit King raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.

"This sky will change sooner or later! His Majesty was too merciful. He was not worthy of being a king. With this king, our Dragon Abyss will never prosper. "
