Chapter 405 Crisis 4
She called him father, how could Elder Tao not know that she was feeling resentful and unwilling at the moment?
He sighed helplessly, "Chan'er, Daddy is doing this for your own good. Ye Xuanqi is a son abandoned by heaven. Song Wentian insisted on helping him ascend to the throne against heaven's will, which gave me the opportunity to completely defeat him and replace him as the head of Shengyun Mountain."
"Being abandoned by heaven like that is not a good fate for you."
"Dad promises you that I will let Ye Xuanrong ascend to the throne and make you the most noble woman in the world, a person that Song Yunxi can only dream of but cannot reach."
After hearing Song Yunxi's words, all the resentment in Tao Yuechan's heart disappeared.
That’s right, she wanted to become someone who was out of reach of Song Yunxi, and all that romantic stuff would only be stumbling blocks that hindered her from reaching her goal.
As long as she thought about being looked up to with envy and jealousy by Song Yunxi in the future, her resentment towards Ye Xuanqi for not being able to love him would fade away.
"I know Dad is doing this for my own good."
Ye Xuanqi will soon no longer be the crown prince, and may even be completely abandoned by Emperor Qinglong. What benefits can you get from marrying a man like this?
Seeing that his daughter had figured it out, Elder Tao was also very relieved: "I knew that my Chan'er was an extraordinary woman."
Three days later, Ye Xuanrong and Tao Yuechan were married by imperial decree. As it was to bring good luck to the people, their wedding was simple. However, due to the rainy weather, there were no people on the streets, not even stray dogs were to be seen.
Even the wedding banquet at the Sixth Prince's Mansion was made even more depressing and gloomy by the rainy weather.
No one even cared about the part where the groom was given wine to drink and had fun in the bridal chamber. They just dealt with the wedding banquet in silence and left in a hurry.
Tao Yuechan naturally didn't care at all, but Ye Xuanrong felt suffocated, always feeling that the court officials were not giving him face.
After the guests had left, Ye Xuanrong, Elder Tao and Shen Zhikang, who had appeared quietly, were all in the study room of the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Shen Zhikang looked at the silent Elder Tao and said, "The Sixth Prince has married Miss Tao as you wished. If the rain continues to fall..."
Elder Tao naturally understood what he had not finished saying. Since they had released the news that they wanted to bring good luck to this natural disaster, the rain must stop after the Sixth Prince and Tao Yuechan got married. Otherwise, not only would it not bring any benefit to the two of them, but it would also backfire.
So he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Master Shen, the rain will stop tomorrow."
Hearing him say this, Shen Zhikang and Ye Xuanrong both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Zhikang smiled and said, "We naturally believe in the ability of the Sect Leader."
Shen Zhikang and Ye Xuanrong's flattery finally eased Elder Tao's gloomy expression. Late that night, he sneaked into the palace without anyone noticing and found Qingyun Pavilion.
At this time, Qingyun Pavilion had long lost its former warmth and liveliness, and was as cold as an abandoned palace.
Elder Tao looked around and finally sighed to himself: "It is indeed a place where dragon energy gathers. Song Wentian really knows how to choose a place."
He sneaked into Qingyun Pavilion to absorb the dragon energy here and cast a spell to stop the rain.
He wanted everyone in the capital to know that his daughter was blessed by God.
At daybreak, the originally calm sky was suddenly filled with lightning, thunder, and strong winds. Instead of stopping, the rain showed a tendency to get out of control.
puff!
Elder Tao spat out a mouthful of blood, felt a dull pain in his chest, and his pupils trembled: "How could this happen?"
He gathered his energy and cast the spell again, and another mouthful of blood gushed out.
This time, not only did he feel a dull pain in his chest, but even the true energy in his body began to surge wildly, as if it was a sign of being possessed.
This time, Elder Tao felt fear in his heart: "How could this be?"
"Of course it's because you practiced forbidden techniques."
The originally dark Qingyun Pavilion suddenly lit up, and Emperor Qinglong, Crown Prince Ye Xuanqi and court officials all appeared in the Qingyun Pavilion.
And who else could be the man who was walking side by side with Emperor Qinglong, with the appearance of an immortal who seemed to be able to fly away with the wind but Song Wentian?
Elder Tao's pupils dilated: "Song Wentian, are you okay?"
Song Wentian said calmly, "Elder Tao, you think that my heart meridians should be destroyed and I should lie there like a living dead from now on, right?"
Is not it?
He had been practicing in secret for thirty years and had already mastered the forbidden technique. Song Wentian had been cursed by him and it was impossible for him to wake up again.
Song Wentian asked coldly, "Tao Zhengchong, you practiced forbidden techniques, harmed your fellow disciples, and brought disaster to the people. Do you know your crime?"
Although Song Wentian's tone was gentle, it was filled with inner strength. The strong sense of oppression made the court officials following behind him feel a pang in their hearts, and they almost fell to their knees due to weak legs.
Tao Zhengchong was also frightened, but he suppressed his fear and forced himself to face the enemy head-on.
"What is my fault?"
Tao Zhengchong was also strong: "I have been practicing hard since I was young, and I have never dared to slack off. I didn't have the support of my master or the care of my senior brothers, so I had to rely on myself step by step."
"But what about you? You were born in Shengyun Mountain with auspicious signs. You were born to be a child of destiny, with everyone's support. Not only do you have the support of your father, the head of the sect, but you also have a senior brother who is a prince."
Tao Zhengchong glanced at the gloomy Emperor Qinglong, laughed at himself, and continued to vent the dissatisfaction that had been pent up in his heart for decades: "The entire Shengyun Mountain knows that this prince brother will inherit the throne of the Jin'an Dynasty in the future. All disciples respect and fear him and dare not get close to him. He is also cold and distant to everyone and never says a word. He has never even looked at me, his senior brother."
"But he treats you like a brother. He has protected you and kept you by his side since you were young. He is completely a loving brother."
"You grew up in the indulgence of your father and brother, without having to pay attention to the sect rules or practice hard. You traveled around lazily and freely, but you still effortlessly got everything that I couldn't get even if I tried my best. How can I accept this?"
Listening to his accusation, Emperor Qinglong was dumbfounded at first, and blurted out subconsciously: "Is it wrong for me to love my junior brother?"
He was his direct junior fellow apprentice, so he was naturally different from other disciples of Shengyun Mountain.
"You are of course wrong!"
Tao Zhengchong yelled hysterically: "You are a high and mighty prince, why are you only trying to please him in a humble way?"
Emperor Qinglong: “…”
For the first time, I felt the feeling of a thousand horses galloping in my heart as Song Yunxi described.
Tao Zhengchong continued to glare at Song Yunxi: "It's fine that I was suppressed by you, but why did you bring back Song Yunxi, that bastard whose origins are unknown?"
Emperor Qinglong glanced at his fellow apprentice who looked calm, and murmured weakly, "Is this wrong?"
"Of course I'm wrong!"
Unexpectedly, Tao Zhengchong heard it. He yelled loudly, scaring Emperor Qinglong so much that he trembled.
"I have been suppressed by Song Wentian for half my life. Why should his bastard daughter suppress my daughter?"
