Chapter 13: Emperor Wu's Compromise
The killer just stared at them with ruthless and indifferent eyes, watching them slowly take their last breath.
The killer cautiously probed the two of them to make sure they didn't have any breath of life before leaving.
Fortunately, that cold light did not pierce Yunhe's heart, and his demon physique relieved him again at the moment when his life was hanging by a thread, and his heart suddenly "thumped" back to beating.
Yunhe survived until the imperial doctor rushed over to rescue him.
However, the beloved Mrs. Yiwen never woke up.
The assassination of the eldest prince made Emperor Wu furious.
Even if Yunhe has demon blood, it is also his biological son, and he can't allow others to hurt Yunhe.
Could it be that Emperor Wu didn't want Yunhe to be the crown prince? Of course not.
Yunhe is his eldest son, and he likes it. It's just that Yunhe's demon clan bloodline will bring too many unstable factors to the Chiyan Country.
Yunhe's life experience is so widely known, causing ridicule and hostility, which is related to the fact that his realm is too low to completely transform into a human form.
Since he was an infant, Yunhe has been a little half-demon with silver hair and blue eyes, fox ears, and a long fox tail dragging behind him.
After being seriously injured, Yunhe was in a coma for three days and three nights, with a high fever that did not go away. The imperial doctors gathered around him in fear and took care of him.
The pendant around his neck was glowing faintly. The imperial doctors asked Emperor Wu several times if they wanted to take down this strange pendant, but Emperor Wu refused.
Emperor Wu knew that Yunhe's mother, Yun Xueji, was not ordinary, and the tokens she left to Yunhe must have a special purpose.
Yi Wen Taichuan's death dealt a severe blow to the young Yunhe, and his consciousness fell into a painful struggle. He longs for power, he wants to become stronger, he wants to avenge Yiwen Taichuan, he wants to settle accounts with all those who have laughed at him and harmed him!
He had enough of such a childhood!
Perhaps sensing the desire in his heart, the pendant suddenly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Yunhe's small body.
The light was so dazzling that it even formed an invisible barrier that covered the space of the room, and no one could break in.
In the light, the power stored in the pendant was helping Yunhe to wash the marrow, and he was in a state of coma throughout the whole process, and the realm broke through from the primordial realm to the Linghai realm, and then from the Linghai realm to the Guikong realm.
After another three days, the light cleared, the door to the room finally opened, and a little human boy with picturesque eyebrows, black hair and black eyes walked out.
Emperor Wu, the imperial doctor, and the guards were already in a hurry outside!
The guards' first reaction when they saw the little boy was to shout "escort", and then they all showed their weapons at their waists, protected Emperor Wu behind, and surrounded the little boy of unknown origin.
The little boy's eyes were full of hatred! that kind of cold and angry look was chilling to the bone, and this was not the expression that a child of his age should have.
What's even more terrifying is that this little boy exudes the threat of returning to the Skyclave, making people think that he is an extremely dangerous person.
"Stop, you can't hurt him...... Emperor Wu's voice trembled, and he was already in tears, and then he roared: "Get out of the way!"
The guards gave way in fear, and Emperor Wu rushed to the little boy's side, spreading his arms and taking him into his arms.
"Yunhe, my emperor...... I'm sorry! It's my father who didn't protect you well and made you suffer! My father promised that that kind of thing would not happen again......" Emperor Wu cried.
After all, blood is thicker than water, although the color of the little boy's hair and eyes in front of him is not the same, and there are no fox ears and tail, Emperor Wu still recognized at a glance that this little boy is Yunhe, the child born to himself and Yun Xueji.
Breaking through to the Returning to the Sky Realm, Xiao Yunhe was finally able to flexibly control his power, and now he could hide the appearance of the demon clan and the breath of the demon clan very well.
Perhaps, my father really hasn't hugged himself like this for a long time, maybe this is the love of his relatives that he longs for the most, and the grievances, pain and resentment in Xiao Yunhe's heart are being washed away little by little.
However, who can compensate for the death of Mrs. Yiwen?
Xiao Yunhe cried in Emperor Wu's arms: "Father, you have to be the master of Yiwen Taifu, he lost his life in vain to save me!"
Emperor Wu said sadly: "Yiwen Taifu has both virtue and ability, loyalty, this death in the line of duty is a loss to my Chiyan country, I am also very heartbroken, the emperor, you can rest assured, I will give you an explanation, give Yiwen Taifu an explanation." ”
Yunhe has trusted his father since he was a child, and since his father said so, he will definitely do so.
"Father, I want to see Mrs. Yiwen for the last time, is it okay?" Xiao Yunhe cried and pleaded in a low voice.
"Of course you can, this is as it should be, you go and give Yiwen Taifu a ride!" Emperor Wu agreed.
Mrs. Yiwen's body had already been buried.
With his hands together, Mrs. Yi Wen, who was sleeping quietly in the coffin, looked so peaceful. The pain and despair of the last moment were skillfully soothed by the mortuary.
When he was a child, Yunhe heard that after a person died and was buried, the body would be eaten away by insects, full of holes, and finally turned into a pile of white bones.
Xiao Yunhe didn't want that to happen to Mrs. Yiwen's body.
He used his small hands to grasp the pale and cold hands of Taifu Yiwen, and quietly crossed into an aura.
He was already a monk of the Skyclave Realm, and having this aura was like an invisible shield, not only blocking the air, but even snakes, insects, rats and ants could not contaminate this body.
The moment the coffin was sealed, tears blurred Xiao Yunhe's vision, and he couldn't see the last appearance of Taifu Yiwen.
The tomb was located on the Yongnan slope, ten miles away from the palace.
When he was buried, Xiao Yunhe cried so much that his eyes were swollen.
How reluctant he was to let Mrs. Yiwen sleep forever, because once he was buried, he would never see him in the future.
He was afraid that the craftsmen who built the tomb would move too much and disturb Yiwen Taifu's sleep, so he used his small hands to fill in the loess one by one until the coffin was covered with loess.
Yunhe personally carved an epitaph for Mrs. Yiwen, and then began to guard the tomb.
In order to facilitate the guarding of the mausoleum, Yunhe also lived directly in the village of Yongnanpo. Emperor Wu once persuaded Yunhe, but Yunhe did not listen. For three years, Yunhe has not left the Yongnan slope.
During Yunhe's stay at Yongnanpo's mausoleum, several more groups of assassins came. But all of them were hypnotized inexplicably, and their consciousness came back in a daze.
They were all repelled by the Yunhe. The reason why they are still alive is not that Yunhe is incapable of taking their lives, but that Yunhe does not want Taifu's mausoleum to be stained with blood.
Since he got the power of the pendant, Yunhe's innate fox clan inheritance has awakened, and all kinds of supernatural tactics, formation mysteries, and even advanced hypnotism are in his mind, as long as he needs to, he can use it easily.
It can be said that Renyunhe is now different from the past, and he is no longer the little fox who was bullied at the beginning, and it is not so easy for the queen and various forces in the court to take his life.
Before moving back to the palace, Yunhe not only laid a lot of enchantments for the tomb of Yiwen Taifu, but also specially explained to several honest families in Yongnanpo that they should guard the tomb for Yiwen Taifu.
These families are not only exempt from paying a lot of taxes, but also get a lot of benefits every year, and Yunhe treats them well during their stay here, so they should be conscientious.
Due to the lack of extravagant burial goods such as gold, silver and jewelry, Yiwen Taifu was thrifty during his lifetime, with excellent merits, no shelf in life, and often helped poor families, people respected him very much, and no one ever came to rob the tomb.
Even if someone really comes to rob the tomb, they are not afraid, isn't there still an enchantment laid by Yunhe?
At that time, Yunhe's cultivation had already reached the first level of the Returning to the Skyclave Realm, and with the help of the power of the pendant, he was able to exert the strength of the Returning to the Skyclave Realm.
In other words, the resistance level of the Tomb's enchantment reaches the Triple Realm of the Skyclave, and only monks who have returned to the Void Realm Quadruple or higher can break it.
More than twenty years ago, there were not as many monks in the Returning Skylet Realm as there are now, and the Triple Returning to the Skyclave Realm was almost the pinnacle of peerless masters.
Over the years, Mrs. Yiwen's grave has been safe and sound, and it can be regarded as returning Yunhe's wish, so that the beloved Mrs. Yiwen can get peace after his death.
As for Emperor Wu's promise to Yunhe, he will give him an explanation, and he has practical actions.
Just a few days after Yiwen Taifu was buried, the killer who assassinated Yunhe was inexplicably killed in a remote alley in the imperial capital. Apparently silenced, all information seems to be cut off.
But who did this, in fact, Emperor Wu knew it.
The palace seems to be calm, but in fact, the guards are even tighter. Whether it was Yunhe's three years of guarding the tomb on Yongnanpo, or his later move back to the palace, he was surrounded by various hidden guards to protect him in secret.
Of course, these hidden guards often haven't made a move yet, and those assassins have been repelled by Yunhe with hypnosis, and the hidden guards can't help but be secretly surprised by the strength of the Great Prince, and report the situation to Emperor Wu truthfully.
In addition to the guards, the dining room is also more strictly controlled, and for a while, those with bad intentions have no way to start.
One day, Emperor Wu took Xiao Yunhe's hand and talked for a long time in the imperial study until dawn. No one knows what the two fathers and sons talked about.
Soon after, the second prince Helian Yunlie, who was only ten years old, was canonized as the crown prince.
It is said that this is a compromise between Emperor Wu and the empress and the major forces. Emperor Wu made the second prince Helian Yunlie the crown prince as the queen wished, but from now on, no one was allowed to harm Yunhe again.
In fact, Emperor Wu had the intention to cultivate Yunhe into a talent, and even thought that he would inherit the throne by Yunhe a hundred years later.
Therefore, Emperor Wu canonized Yiwen as Taifu and arranged Yiwen Taifu by Yunhe's side.
Emperor Wu's meaning is not only to let Yiwen be Yunhe's enlightenment mentor, but also to need Yiwen to assist in the future.
In the Chiyan Kingdom, Taifu refers to the mentor of the emperor or crown prince.
Therefore, letting Taifu tutor Yunhe is equivalent to saying that Yunhe is the future king of a country by default of Emperor Wu.
also issued a secret decree to make Duanmu Chong, the rising star of the Duanmu family, a military general, assist Yunhe. However, the premise is that Yunhe must have the qualities of being an excellent successor.
Over the years, Emperor Wu has been silently cultivating and testing Yunhe.
The unification of the human race and the demon race, let me ask if a Taifu can casually teach the prince this way of governing the world that is completely contrary to the tradition, without the acquiescence of the emperor, can the Taifu talk nonsense? In fact, the meaning of Taifu is the meaning of Emperor Wu.
