As a prince, Marquis Chijun naturally didn't need to care about other people's opinions.
Looking at Ling Zhouxue, he said, "Your Highness, I object to this matter. Although the restoration of the kingdom is your achievement, the rules of our royal family must not be violated!"
The meaning is clear: she wants to call herself empress, but it will be difficult to convince the public.
It's absolutely not for their own benefit; rules are rules.
She's just a little girl.
The two young men beside him wore expressions of barely concealed fervor. This was a great thing; Ling Zhouxue had done a brilliant job. If they could help their father seize the throne, they would be the primary beneficiaries.
Happiness came so suddenly! The shadow of death that had haunted us when we were being hunted everywhere was swept away. I never imagined that the Central Divine Dynasty could be rebuilt so quickly!
As for Ling Zhouxue, she's just a mere maid; she's not difficult to deal with.
Ling Zhouxue's gaze swept across the area.
"Could it be that the Imperial Uncle also has this intention?"
Of course, Marquis Chijun could not admit it.
"Your Highness is overthinking it. I only advise you to consider things carefully before acting."
She has a terrifyingly powerful backer! It's even rumored that he has already become God King!
That's why the Central Divine Dynasty was rebuilt and Tianxia Divine Dynasty were destroyed. It's hard to imagine what kind of good luck this girl had. As for the specifics, he had no way of knowing.
But he was someone they absolutely couldn't afford to offend, so they could only use the rules of their royal family to suppress him.
If no other direct descendants survive, he can rightfully take over everything.
Even if the powerful figure behind Ling Zhouxue is incredibly strong, they won't say much.
Of course, this would require Ling Zhouxue to admit it under pressure... otherwise, she would be offending the person behind her.
The Xu Zu and others called him an old fox, but they couldn't say anything at that moment.
Ling Zhouxue smiled.
"Uncle, there's no need to hesitate. This is what I, the princess, deserve!"
She wouldn't do something like making a wedding dress for someone else. Otherwise, she'd feel very aggrieved having traveled so far.
Marquis Chijun frowned; it seemed she was not convinced.
A young man standing nearby, Ling Jun said somewhat displeasedly, " Ling Zhouxue, my father kindly advised us not to let the Central Divine Dynasty descend into chaos again and lose the hearts of the people!"
"Losing the people's hearts?" Ling Zhouxue wasn't buying it at all. "Your Highness need not worry, this is my matter!"
" Ling Zhouxue, how can you, a mere woman, be in charge of the Central Divine Dynasty!" Another young man, Ling Lang, exclaimed indignantly.
The meaning is obvious: you can't grasp it.
Ling Zhouxue didn't take it seriously, "So, you think you can do it with just yourselves?"
We're laying our cards on the table. Do you have a mentor? You've got plenty of nonsense to say.
Putting everything else aside, Master Murong Yan is her role model. If she can't even learn from that, then there's no point in her becoming a disciple.
"You..." Ling Jun and Ling Lang were speechless.
They definitely couldn't confront her head-on; that would be suicide. The only way was to subtly persuade Ling Zhouxue to back down.
The Xu Zu and others exclaimed how beautiful it was.
"Jun'er, Lang'er, don't be rude." Marquis Chijun knew that his two sons couldn't help him anymore.
" Zhouxue, listen to your uncle's advice. Your uncle doesn't want to do this either, but with your abilities, it's difficult to stabilize the Central Divine Dynasty. Your uncle is only doing this out of necessity for the continuation of the royal lineage..."
He spoke earnestly and patiently.
Xu Zu and the others frowned again. As expected of an old fox. They wondered if Her Highness could withstand both soft and hard tactics.
" Marquis Chijun is probably overthinking it." At this moment, Chen Ang stepped forward. "Why can't Your Highness learn? If you don't have the ability, you can learn. Why can't you!"
It took him several days to accept reality. Although he hadn't had a chance to go back and see his Chen Lineage yet, he couldn't pretend otherwise.
This is the source of our confidence, here we come!
Ling Jun frowned. "This is an internal matter of my royal family. What business is it of yours!"
Chen Ang snorted coldly, unleashing his aura and slapping him down. He had plenty of experience dealing with this kind of person; after all, he hadn't worked for nothing back then.
"This is the will of my Chen Lineage ancestor. Do you have any objections?"
As an undercover agent, my job is definitely to help Ling Zhouxue.
The alliances shift so quickly, jumping back and forth.
Everyone's eyelids twitched.
"Release this young master!" Ling Jun's face was extremely ugly.
Ling Lang was furious. How dare outsiders interfere in the internal affairs of their royal family? "Let go of my elder brother!"
Smack
Smack
Chen Ang immediately followed up with a slap, "Prince? Without Her Highness the Princess, what kind of prince is he?"
Ling Lang was also sent flying, completely disoriented.
"And you, big brother my ass."
Their faces were flushed, and they were utterly vulgar!
"And you, Marquis Chijun, you're nothing!" Chen Ang cursed.
Having served within the royal family before, and with the situation so clear, trying to pick up a bargain is just a pipe dream.
No need to be polite at all.
Xu Zu was dumbfounded. This kid... Chen Qing also greatly admired his good brother.
Marquis Chijun's face was grim. He couldn't take action, otherwise everything would be even more difficult to achieve, and he couldn't allow his son to be beaten.
Moreover, this Chen Lineage patriarch? Never heard of him, but he's probably the one behind Ling Zhouxue.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say next, so I could only wait.
Ling Zhouxue, however, didn't take it to heart. "Uncle, my mind is made up. Let's go back."
As a member of the royal family who had managed to survive with great difficulty, she didn't want to make things too difficult for the other party. Even knowing the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Wang Lineage, she still held this belief. Otherwise, there would be even fewer!
It was around this time...
"What kind of behavior is this! What kind of behavior is this!" Several more ministers arrived.
Seeing this scene was extremely displeasing.
Marquis Chijun knew that his reinforcements had arrived; this was his prepared backup plan.
Ling Jun and Ling Lang also breathed a sigh of relief.
The others frowned. Someone else! That old fox.
"Your Highness, what kind of behavior is this, sending someone to injure the Crown Prince!"
"I second that. Our royal family has only managed to preserve a few bloodlines with great difficulty; how can we allow this to happen!"
"That's right. The throne is still undecided, and internal strife will only further delay the matter."
They all chimed in with their agreement.
Her Highness has received first-class merit, but they are not founding heroes; they were merely pursued and killed. If they could support Marquis Chijun, it would undoubtedly be better.
Moreover, even if Ling Zhouxue has powerful backers, it's still hard to accept that the royal family's rules have changed so drastically!
"Ministers, Her Highness the Princess was merely acting out of anger," Marquis Chijun kindly advised.
With ministers exerting pressure, Ling Zhouxue couldn't possibly disregard the interests of the court and the people, could she?
He needs to get her to back down first; he's not stupid.
Ling Jun and Ling Lang breathed a sigh of relief again. They'd actually been attacked!
For the first time, Ling Zhouxue felt pressure. The most difficult thing was pleasing everyone. Ultimately, she wasn't strong enough to be like her mentor, Murong Yan...
but.
Her own support group is also very strong.
He immediately lost his temper and didn't want to waste any more words arguing.
"Elder, kill them without mercy..."
The moment those words were spoken, the air seemed to turn cold.
Marquis Chijun, Ling Jun, and Ling Lang were stunned. Ling Zhouxue had changed! How could she be so sharp and ruthless!
What exactly happened?! Doesn't the Central Divine Dynasty?! What about the overall situation?! Isn't this just selfishness?!
Xu Zu instantly understood, and Chen Qing immediately slapped him down to pin him down.
Several ministers were so terrified they wet themselves.
"Your Highness, spare our lives! We confess our crimes!"
Although the princess herself isn't particularly powerful, her other methods are quite impressive.
Their faces were deathly pale; they had barely survived and didn't want to die at the hands of their own people.
Farewell, Marquis Chijun.
At that moment, a terrifying pressure descended, and everyone's expression turned solemn.
The Xu Zu was also stunned. What was going on?!
A voice could be heard coming from outside.
"I am an elder of the Asura Sect. Come before me immediately..."
" The Asura Sect!" The Marquis Chijun, from the God King faction of the Ember Divine Continent, was quick-witted. It was time to place his bet again, but he wondered what the Asura Sect was up to.
We can only wait and see.
