153 Xue Qinghe's Thoughts"Brother Qitian, Your Majesty Dugu, what brings you here?" Xue Qinghe saw the two figures through the window. He put down the paper and pen in his hand and hurried out to greet them.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Qi Tian bowed.
"You guys chat, I'm just here to keep you company." Dugu Bo said casually and stepped aside without saying anything else.
Xue Qinghe chuckled and said, "Brother Qitian, this is your first time here. Let me take you around this mansion. If you have anything to say, we can talk while we walk."
The decoration in the Prince's Mansion is not luxurious. There are mostly flowers and plants in the courtyard. The stream that runs through the entire courtyard is clear and you can clearly see the fish in the water.
"Your Highness, this place is a paradise on earth." Qi Tian said with a smile.
If possible, he would also like to build a courtyard like this.
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, "In my spare time, I will spend time in this yard. By the way, is there anything important that brought you here this time?"
Qi Tian nodded and told him about Wang Sheng's situation.
Xue Qinghe pondered for a moment before speaking, "This incident has a great impact on my sister. My father was also angry about it. If it was a mistake, I will seek justice for your classmate."
"However, this matter is under the charge of the Emperor's uncle. I need some time to understand the details, and I cannot give you an answer for the time being."
"Well, let's put it this way. Tomorrow morning, whether there is a conclusion or not, I will take you to the prison to check out the situation."
In a place like the Heavenly Prison, a normal person could not survive more than three months. Xue Qinghe didn't think that Wang Sheng could still be alive.
Therefore, he said with an apologetic look: "Brother Qi Tian, don't worry, if he is really wronged, I will give a certain amount of compensation to his family in the name of the royal family."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like his own children. On behalf of Wang Sheng, I would like to thank Your Highness the Crown Prince first. Of course, if it is not an injustice, I also hope that Your Highness the Crown Prince can deal with it according to the law." Qi Tian said.
Xue Qinghe joked, "There are not many earls in the empire who abide by the law like Brother Qi Tian. Don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly. It is my duty to redress the injustice and bring down the criminals."
After finishing their business, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before parting ways.
After leaving the Prince's Mansion for a distance, Dugu Bo said in a deep voice: "Little monster, I can feel that this Prince Xue Qinghe has many secrets."
"What do you mean?" Qi Tian asked.
Dugu Bo whispered, "There are Titled Douluo masters in the Crown Prince's Mansion. The auras of these two guys are extremely concealed, and I cannot tell their identities."
Qi Tian recalled in his mind and then remembered.
These two people should be Snake Spear Douluo and Thorny Porpoise Douluo. Among them, Thorny Porpoise Douluo's martial spirit can restrain Dugu Bo.
However, it would not do him any good to bring down Xue Qinghe. With his current strength, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to.
"Old monster, let's keep this a secret for now. At least, the Crown Prince is kind to the people. We can't stand against him just because of something unclear."
"At present, there are only two princes in the Tiandou Empire. If Xue Qinghe collapses, given the avalanche's nature, the people of Tiandou City will probably suffer."
Dugu Bo knew the reason very well. If it weren't for the debt of favor, he would not have taken a fancy to Xue Xing uncle and nephew.
At an auction not long ago, Xue Xing was so embarrassed that he threatened others for a cat woman. It was truly despicable.
"Well, I will just pretend I didn't see it. Those two Titled Douluo may be the strong men secretly recruited by Xue Qinghe."
…
"Young Master, Dugu Bo's strength has improved a lot. He should have discovered our existence." She Long and Cixue half-knelt in front of Xue Qinghe and said in a serious tone.
The two of them are also well-known figures on the mainland. Once their identities are exposed, Xue Qinghe's identity will also be exposed. They have to take this matter seriously.
There was no emotion in Xue Qinghe's eyes. He sat at his desk and continued to review the memorials in his hand.
She Long and the other man didn't dare to say a word and still maintained their current posture.
They didn't expect Dugu Bo to suddenly come here, and they didn't expect that Dugu Bo's strength would break away from the "weakest Title Douluo".
"Do you think Dugu Bo will tell Qi Tian about this?" Xue Qinghe asked slowly.
She Long thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, "Young Master, based on my recent observations, Dugu Bo and Qi Tian have a very good relationship. Dugu Bo even treats him as his own son."
"Then do you think Qi Tian will tell this to others? Or will he turn to Xue Xing?" Xue Qinghe asked again.
"This..." She Long and the other man were speechless for a moment.
They are not the worms in Qi Tian's stomach, so how can they know what he is thinking.
After pondering for a moment, She Long said with a stiff upper lip: "Young Master, we should prepare for the worst. We must not let him ruin the Spirit Hall's plan for so many years."
Xue Qinghe did not express his opinion, but said: "Qi Tian is much smarter than you. He took the initiative to leave Tiandou Royal Academy to avoid being involved in the struggle of the royal family. He is not familiar with Xue Xing. Huo Mu went to find Xue Xing with the idea of killing someone with a borrowed knife. Since he can't benefit from both sides, why bother?"
She Long said anxiously: "Young Master, Dugu Bo is from Xuexing, what if..."
Xue Qinghe put down the memorial in his hand and snorted, "If it weren't for that woman, would Dugu Bo owe Xue Xing a favor? A strong man who is tied to a favor, do you really think he would be willing to work for Xue Xing?"
She Long thought it made sense, but there were many things they couldn't figure out, so they simply said, "Young Master, please forgive our stupidity and explain it to us."
Xue Qinghe certainly wouldn't argue with them, "Even if Dugu Bo guessed your identities, Qi Tian would not tell anyone but would keep it a secret for me."
Qi Tian is a nobleman who was promoted from a commoner. There are two situations for such a person. One is that he is quite hostile to commoners, and the other is that he knows the suffering of commoners. Even if he becomes a noble, he will not alienate himself from these commoners.
The Tiandou Empire only has two successors. Xue Beng is bullying and bullying everywhere. Qi Tian definitely doesn't want such a person to be the emperor. And his style is in line with Qi Tian's idea.
Therefore, it is impossible for Qi Tian to overthrow himself and allow a devil to take the throne.
Besides, when Xue Qinghe wanted to win over Qi Tian, he didn't want to win him over to the Tiandou Empire, but to the Spirit Hall.
Since the truth will be revealed sooner or later, Qi Tian has some guesses about his identity, and perhaps he will be able to better win over the other party in the future.
She Long and the other man lowered their heads in shame, "We were so stupid that we almost ruined the whole thing. Please punish us, young master."
Xue Qinghe waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "Grandfathers, don't worry about it. Find out everything about Wang Sheng as soon as possible. If he's alive, we need to find him. If he's dead, we need to find his body. We need to ask the guards in the prison and the executioner about it."
