Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1202 Ready to make a move, ready to make a move!

"Your Highness, I think there are some things you need to know in advance, regarding San Shi's current thoughts."

Ye Nanxiao decided to give Xue Lingxun a heads-up first.

Otherwise, Xu Sanshi might find himself caught in the middle and in an awkward position.

Unexpectedly, Xue Lingxun shook her head slightly and waved her hand. "I know what you want to say. The problem of the imperial system cannot be solved in a short time. But if we want to integrate it in the early stages, the Douling Empire can pay a price. You can talk to Xiao Shitou about the specifics."

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao's expression changed slightly. He had anticipated that Xue Lingxun knew part of his plan's purpose.

It's not difficult to deduce this from Xu Sanshi's movements.

What surprised Ye Nanxiao was why Xue Lingxun was so calm.

Since it concerns the imperial system, and is an important foundation related to her family's era.

Ye Nanxiao's actions were essentially the same as digging up Xue Lingxun's family graves.

Therefore, there is no reason for Xue Lingxun to be so calm and composed.

The fleeting look of surprise on Ye Nanxiao's face was precisely caught by Xue Lingxun, who had been paying close attention.

The eldest princess of the Douling Sect smiled and said, "It seems you are quite surprised, the world-renowned Frost Sword Saint."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth and her delicate shoulders trembling slightly.

Ye Nanxiao's lips twitched slightly. This "chuunibyou" nickname is still around?

Wait a minute! I've already reached the ninth ring and become a Title Douluo!

We absolutely must choose a powerful and imposing title!

What name should I choose?

Ye Nanxiao quickly put this thought out of his mind.

Attention remains focused on this negotiation.

"Your Highness, can we not use that title? It sounds a little embarrassing," Ye Nanxiao said helplessly, pinching the little rabbit's hand, which brought a smile to the little rabbit's face.

Xue Lingxun witnessed this scene, and the loving young couple stirred up some memories in her heart.

This made her feel somewhat emotional for a moment.

"What an imposing title! Once you become a Title Douluo, I bet many people will call you by that title too. Back then, I gave Little Stone's father his title on a whim! And he's still using it today!" Xue Lingxun exclaimed.

"The reason I'm telling you all this is so that you'll wholeheartedly help Little Stone. He will surely leave a glorious mark on the history of the mainland!"

"As for everything in this palace, it's nothing more than a prison built of gold bricks and red walls!"

Xue Lingxun's eyes held a mixture of reminiscence and resentment.

She had been in this cage for far too long, and it seemed that touching upon painful memories caused her emotions to fluctuate wildly.

"Are you surprised by my attitude?" Xue Lingxun looked at Ye Nanxiao with a faint smile.

But the next moment, the smile on her face turned into resentment.

"Do you know how many people in this palace wished for my execution when I was forced to become the eldest princess?"

"The royal family even said they would expel me from the clan and arbitrarily execute me, burying me by the roadside!"

"A bunch of old bastards who only think about sucking blood and fighting to grow stronger—even if they get this empire, how long can they maintain its existence?"

After Xue Lingxun finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if trying to calm herself down.

Ye Nanxiao understood; the eldest princess of Douling had long since lost her faith.

The most ruthless imperial family.

However, the eldest princess was fortunate throughout her life, as her biological father loved her dearly.

Long before he left, he had left Xue Lingxun with enough means to protect her life.

Otherwise, as Xue Lingxun said, if she didn't have the means, she would have died in this palace long ago.

Everyone thought she had lived a peaceful life in the palace for more than ten years, but they did not know that she would put her sword on her bed every day and fall asleep while stroking its edge.

All I seek is a sense of security in my life.

Ye Nanxiao expressed his understanding; anyone who could stay in the palace for ten or twenty years would go crazy.

He was considering his next move. Now that he understood Xue Lingxun's attitude, his next target was the two prime ministers above the Six Ministries, who controlled the discourse in the court and among the people.

To take down these two prime ministers of the empire, he really needs Xue Lingxun's support. Otherwise, he doesn't know if such an arrogant prime minister has anyone backing him up.

The only reason I'm afraid is that Xue Lingxun is the backer of the Second Prime Minister.

After Ye Nanxiao waited quietly for Xue Lingxun to regain some of her composure, he said, "Three of the Six Ministries have been eliminated, leaving only the two prime ministers. I wonder if Your Highness has any brilliant plans?"

"have."

"Break in and arrest them."

Xue Lingxun was now filled with a sharp edge, no longer the elegant and noble lady she had been before.

Ye Nanxiao's eyes widened slightly. He had indeed initially planned to fight directly, as that would be the fastest way.

However, taking direct action without a name or authorization would cause turmoil in the court and the country, and even local uprisings, with a large number of rebels emerging overnight to "purge the emperor's inner circle."

Moreover, he doesn't have many people.

Xue Lingxun glanced at Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan's expressions and smiled charmingly, "Since we're all at the end, I'll naturally use all my methods!"

"Let's see who dares to stop my family from reuniting!"

Jiang Nannan slightly opened her rosy lips, her eyes filled with admiration.

Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin. So that's what the eldest princess was planning.

That makes sense, though. There are plots and schemes every day in the palace. If it were him, he would have to scatter his ashes to the person behind it all!

After making up his mind, Ye Nanxiao inquired about the Douling Emperor.

"Don't worry about him. I'm gone. No one can protect him. If he wants his life, he'd better give it up," Xue Lingxun said domineeringly.

If he can promote his nephew to power, he can also bring him down.

Ye Nanxiao nodded. This current Douling Emperor did not have much power. Even after more than 20 years on the throne, he had no ability to restrain the development of the aristocratic families, which showed his mediocrity.

Since Xue Lingxun is so confident, then Ye Nanxiao doesn't need to concern himself with this matter.

What remains are the two prime ministers who control the court, and the Xue family, represented by the former prime minister Xue Mo, who are their powerful backers.

"The Xue family has five combatants at the Title Douluo level. Three of them are guest elders that Xue Mo acquired with high resources, two are from the Xue family, and one is a son-in-law of the Xue family." Xue Lingxun revealed the information about the Xue family's combat strength.

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao thought to himself, "No wonder the Xue family dares to control the court so much. Their fighting strength is comparable to that of the empire. You should know that the Douling Empire's current high-end fighting strength is only five or six titled Douluo."

"All of the Xue family's combat power is called guest elders. Even if we know what this old guy is up to, there's no good way to deal with it. Even if Tianyang Douluo comes forward, it won't make a difference. I heard that the highest-ranking guest elder in the Xue family seems to be called Mad Poison Douluo, whose martial soul is Mad Poison Blade. His blade energy is strange and highly poisonous! Old man Xue paid a high price to invite him." Xue Lingxun said, glancing at Ye Nanxiao.

"Alright," Ye Nanxiao said, raising his hand to indicate that he would take charge of this person.

I like people who play with drugs.

It means that there has never been an ultimate poison in this world, otherwise none of them would be his match, even if the Mad Poison Douluo's cultivation level is Super Douluo.

"Apart from the Xue family, the remaining five great families basically rely on their patriarchs for their high-end combat power. However, I heard that the Gu family's patriarch has been seriously injured, the Gu family is in turmoil and has split up, and the Gu family's main patriarch cut off his hand to survive." Xue Lingxun took a sip of tea.

He glanced meaningfully at Ye Nanxiao.

She received intelligence about the division of the Gu family's main branch into separate households, the forced departure of the main branch, and the usurpation of their territory.

Ye Nanxiao nodded slightly; Gu Xiyu and Mo Cheng were now his loyal tools.

However, Gu Xiyu has not yet mentioned the injuries of the Gu family patriarch.

Xue Lingxun casually picked up five candied fruits from the fruit plate and placed them on the tea tray in the middle.

"In order to ensure control over the Left and Right Prime Ministers, the Xue family has not allowed them to produce any Title Douluos. Even though those two cunning old men have been secretly contacting outsiders to seek guest elders, they are not a threat at the moment. As for the remaining four great families, my wife and I will take three of them, and let Little Stone take the rest."

Of the five candied fruits, Xue Lingxun took four.

Clearly, the power she wielded, which even the Great Emperor of Douling coveted, was enough to breach the gates of aristocratic families.

With the battle schedule finalized, Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan took their leave.

Xue Lingxun asked her personal maid to escort the two of them.

Before leaving, the beautiful maid subtly revealed her admiration for Ye Nanxiao.

Ye Nanxiao ignored her completely; it was impossible for Xue Lingxun to tie him to the warship.

After seeing Ye Nanxiao off, the maid naturally reported the results of her attempt to win him over.

Xue Lingxun tapped the table lightly, her expression thoughtful.

"Fine, don't blame yourself. The women around him are the most beautiful women in the world. It's normal that the palace's charm spells didn't work."

"It's just a pity that we can't win Ye Nanxiao over to our side."

After listening quietly, another personal maid suggested, "Your Highness, why don't we let the princesses try?"

Men in this world generally find it difficult to resist women who are in high positions and extremely beautiful.

Even the current Guardian Douluo of the Douling Empire married the daughters of the previous two Douling Emperors.

Xue Lingxun reached out and pulled the maid, her childhood friend, closer. She gently tapped the maid's cheek with her jade-like finger. "You're in such a hurry, aren't you? Haven't you heard that Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire is unusually fond of him? She's the Empress now, isn't that high enough?"

"Fine, as long as Little Stone can maintain his relationship with him."

"We've been secretly preparing for this for so many years, it's time to make our move!"

Meanwhile, Ye Nanxiao and his companion returned to the Imperial Residence bestowed by Xu Sanshi, where the Tang Clan members reunited.

"There's no time to lose, let's start tonight."

"I'm going to meet the legendary Emperor behind the Battle Spirit. You guys lead the teams to help the other families break through! Don't be stingy with your soul tools, you wretched one, conserve your energy, we still have to go to court tomorrow and give those parasites a piece of our minds!"

Xu Sanshi patted his chest, indicating that there was no problem. His vocabulary of trolls had already broken records, and he could easily take on five people at once.

Ye Nanxiao helped Jiang Nannan put on her soul-guided armor, then took two more spare soul-guided armors from his storage ring and tossed them to Gu Xiyu and Mo Cheng.

"There are instructions; you two can look at them first."

The two: ... (End of Chapter)
