Stand on the Left if You Object, on the Right if You Don't
Enter the Main Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The first thing that catches the eye is the civil and military officials standing on both sides, followed by the Imperial Guards in full armor.
Bai Wanwan stood directly in front, holding the unopened imperial decree in her hand, her expression calm, her gaze indifferently fixed on the direction of the Main Hall entrance.
Ning Fengzhi stood beside Bai Wanwan, a gentle smile on his lips.
Xue Ke walked slowly through the Main Hall.
Bai Wanwan raised her hand and made a gesture, and the Imperial Guards closed the main Main Hall doors.
The decree in her hand slowly opened.
Bai Wanwan looked at the contents of the decree and began to announce it, her melodious voice echoing throughout the Main Hall.
"Announcing the last edict of Xue Ye..."
After the will was read aloud, Bai Wanwan slowly closed it in her hands.
"Your Highness Canglan."
"May this old minister take a look at this will?"
An elderly man with white hair and beard took a few steps forward and looked at the will in Bai Wanwan's hand.
Bai Wanwan remained silent, instead handing the imperial edict to the elderly minister with white hair and beard.
Upon receiving the imperial edict, the old minister reopened it and examined it with the other ministers.
Soon, the ministers' brows furrowed slightly.
In their view, this will was somewhat problematic.
But before the ministers could even ask any questions...
Clang, clang, a sound rang out in the Main Hall.
Everyone glanced to both sides and saw that the Imperial Guards on both sides had drawn their long swords from their waists.
The longsword, gleaming with a cold light, was held in the hands of the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards stared Youyou at the minister before them.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of the show?"
"Is there anything wrong with this will?"
"Those who have concerns, stand on the left, and we'll discuss it further. Those who have no concerns, stand on the right."
Bai Wanwan tilted her head slightly, looking at the minister in front of her.
As for how the imperial edict came about, Xue Ye was in a coma, so it was naturally impossible for him to have written it himself.
As for who wrote it on his behalf, that's none of your concern.
As long as the will is genuine, that's all that matters.
The Main Hall doors were already closed.
Ministers who believe the imperial edict is fake can go and ask Xue Ye for themselves.
The Imperial Guards, armed with sharp blades on either side, were tasked with escorting them to Xue Ye.
"No problem!"
"This old minister has served in office for forty years; this imperial edict is genuine."
"Yes, I think it's true too."
Many ministers spoke up and walked to the right.
Soon, only the white-haired and white-bearded minister remained on the left side of the Main Hall.
Bai Wanwan looked at the white-haired minister, a hint of admiration in her eyes.
But soon, the admiration in Bai Wanwan's eyes disappeared.
"Cough~ cough~"
"This old minister is getting on in years, and my legs are not as nimble as theirs. I can't react as quickly as they can, nor can I walk as fast."
As the minister spoke, he returned the imperial edict to Bai Wanwan and then walked to the right as quickly as possible.
Your Princess Your Highness.
"A country cannot have a ruler for only one day. Now that the ministers have made their decision and the will is genuine, Princess Your Highness, please honor the will and succeed to the throne."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Ke as she walked to the throne and bowed slightly to Xue Ke.
The other ministers also bowed to Xue Ke at this moment.
Looking at the scene before me.
Xue Ke suddenly felt completely at a loss.
I want to say something, but I don't know what to say.
After a while.
Xue Ke sat down on the throne and slowly said, "Then... let's follow the will and hold the Inauguration Ceremony three days from now."
"During this period, all matters will be handled by the ministers and the Two Prince-level Highnesses."
Xue Ke looked at Bai Wanwan with a questioning gaze.
Bai Wanwan smiled gently and returned the smile.
Oh my god~
"Suddenly becoming the ruler of a country, without any preparation whatsoever."
"The main problem is that I don't know anything about this, and I've never studied it before!"
Xue Ke thought to herself silently.
His gaze swept over Bai Wanwan, Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, and the others.
Suddenly I realized that she could actually be a mascot.
Internal affairs, such as government affairs, are entrusted to Ning Fengzhi.
Military and other foreign affairs were entrusted to the Two Princely Titles, Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue.
For internal matters, consult Ning Fengzhi; for external matters, consult Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue.
Xue Ke was secretly plotting her own schemes while her gaze swept over everyone.
Although she doesn't understand politics or military affairs, that doesn't mean she's stupid.
The throne is not an easy place to be.
Your Highness's ministers are all ministers of the Heaven Dou Empire. With a weak ruler and strong ministers, even if you sit on the throne, you won't be able to hold it securely.
The two forces they could rely on were right in front of them.
Rather than managing things haphazardly without understanding anything, it's better to let capable people quell the situation and prevent further instability within the Heaven Dou Empire.
As for what happens next, we'll just have to take it one step at a time.
As Xue Ke sat on the throne, the Imperial Guards on both sides sheathed their swords, and the doors of the Main Hall slowly opened.
The ministers also left the Main Hall to prepare for the Inauguration Ceremony three days later.
On the other side...
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
In the antique-style room, Yu Luomian's gaze was quietly fixed on the direction of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, her eyes swirling with thoughts.
The news of the Tang Sect's Night Raid on the Imperial Palace last night has spread throughout the entire Heaven Dou City, and Yu Luomian naturally knows about it as well.
The Tang Sect's Night Raid on the Imperial Palace had nothing to do with him.
But among those who followed the Tang Sect into the Night Raid on the Imperial Palace was his daughter: Liu Erlong.
So this is related to him.
What he's thinking about now is how to get the person out of Death Row Prison.
Night Raid on the Imperial Palace to murder the prince, which led to the Xue Ye.
Each of these three issues is difficult to handle individually, and when they are combined, it becomes virtually unsolvable.
After all, sometimes the dead are more useful than the living.
Based solely on the chain reaction triggered by Liu Erlong's Night Raid on the Imperial Palace, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has every reason to place the entire blame on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Even if we take action against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it will be with a legitimate reason.
Sigh~
"This is difficult, really difficult."
Yu Luomian let out a somewhat helpless sigh.
"If all else fails, we'll have to take that step."
Yu Luomian muttered to herself, her gaze gradually turning towards the direction of Spirit City.
Although Yu Yuanzhen led the charge against the Spirit Hall.
However, he maintained connections with the Papal Hall Yu Luomian consistently aligned himself closely with the Pope.
The step he was referring to was, of course, to completely align himself with the Pope and see if the Pope could get the person out.
After a while.
Yu Luomian withdrew his gaze from the direction of Spirit City, rose from his seat, walked out of the room, and headed towards the King Canglan's Mansion.
He wanted to go to the King Canglan's Mansion first to see if things would take a turn for the better; if all else failed, he would have no other choice but to take that step.
