Chapter 331 How can a woman become an emperor!

The more Xiao Zheng looked at them, the more he felt that the two looked very similar.

"Brother, do you think...she and Sanlang have any relationship?"

Xiao Xun glanced at Xiao Ning and said, "What could it possibly be? It can't be..."

It's not impossible.

"Perhaps she is a relative of the Yang family."

"Isn't Yang an orphan? Is there anyone else in her family?"

Xiao Xun didn't know this either.

Because they never cared about the second brother's wife at all.

Apart from being good-looking and having some rudimentary medical skills, Yang was completely useless. Xiao Xun still didn't understand what Xiao Rong saw in Yang in the first place, and why he wanted to marry her even if it meant going against his family.

Speaking of appearance, there are quite a few noble ladies with outstanding looks in Shengjing City.

As for medical skills, marrying a wife is not about finding a doctor, not to mention that they are marquises and nobles, so they can hire not only ordinary doctors but also the imperial physicians in the palace.

Shen stared at Xiao Ning who was standing high up in the sky. Finally, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "She is Sanlang. We have all been fooled by this mother and daughter!"

The sound was not loud, only loud enough for a few members of the Xiao family around her to hear.

Several people looked at Xiao Ning, and the more they looked, the more they felt that it was Xiao Ning.

So... she had been disguised as a man and served as the crown prince for eighteen years right under their noses?

That's right, they don't care about this prince at all. If they paid a little more attention to her, they might be able to discover her secret!

Shen stared at Xiao Ning hatefully.

This bastard is really lucky!

Her repeated calculations at the beginning helped her escape danger. Later, when she was sent out to fight with only 5,000 people, she was able to come back safely.

Now it is even more...

Who could have imagined that the Princess Duanhui with an embarrassing reputation would actually be a prince, and that her palace coup was successful!

If he becomes the emperor, then that damn girl Xiao Ning will have to become the queen!

Xiao Ning felt her gaze and turned around, but Shen hurriedly lowered her head.

No matter how much she hated him, Xiao Ning was the queen for sure. Judging from the look of that prince, he trusted and doted on her very much.

Thinking of what she had done in the past, Shen's face turned pale.

Her eyes swept across the several unmarried girls in the Marquis's Mansion. Perhaps...

Xiao Ning was really speechless.

This group of people won’t stand up even if you ask them to. So, they’ll just kneel down.

"I believe most people know me. It doesn't matter if you don't. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future. I won't say much more for now. Today I'll just say one thing: I, Xiao Ning, am preparing to become emperor. Please note, it's me, not the person next to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace was in an uproar.

Everyone stared at Xiao Ning in shock, as if she was telling some fairy tale.

"Your Highness?"

Someone turned to look at Shang Xi.

I thought Shang Xi must be joking with them.

It's just that this joke isn't funny at all.

Shang Xi finally looked at everyone and said helplessly, "It's no use calling me that. I'm just General Xiao's prisoner... well, or rather, I'm her male favorite."

Everyone: “…”

For a moment, the whole audience was silent.

Someone couldn't help but shout out, "This is ridiculous! How can a woman be emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning sneered disdainfully: "So what if they are women? As long as they receive the same education as men, women may not be unable to be stronger than men."

"At nineteen, I led five thousand soldiers into battle to suppress the rebellion. Over three years, I fought hundreds of battles, recovered the thirteen northern states, rescued Cangzhou, crossed the desert, penetrated the heart of the Xiongnu, and disintegrated their fighting power. Since then, there has been no royal court in the northern desert."

"I, a woman, have achieved such great feats. Who among you present here can match them?"

Xiao Ning said this with a light chuckle and a mocking look in his eyes.

"Sorry, I forgot. When foreign enemies invade, you don't think about how to repel them. Instead, you think about pushing out the woman you despise the most, marrying her off, ceding land, or paying compensation."

"you!"

Someone stood up angrily.

Immediately, soldiers of the Xiao family army stepped forward with swords raised.

The soldier who had experienced countless wars was so frightened by just one look that the man took a step back and swallowed all his angry words.

"My Lords, I am putting this before you today. If you agree that I should be the Emperor, we can rule the world together as monarch and minister. If you do not agree, then I do not mind sending you to reunite with the late Emperor."

Everyone looked at each other.

Someone stood up in disbelief, pointed at the soldiers watching from behind, and cursed, "Are you still men? You let a woman ride on your heads and bully you like that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Ning utter a cold word "kill".

Then a soldier drew his sword swiftly, and with a flash of the blade, the man's head fell to the ground, rolling to the legs of another adult.

The man was so frightened that he fell to the ground, crying out in deafening voices.

The women were so frightened that they trembled and screamed.

People who had never seen blood in the past, today watched the blood spurt three feet high and the human head fall to the ground, rolling around.

The body with its head chopped off twitched twice before falling to the ground with a bang.

These young men and women from the aristocratic families have always thought that their lives are precious, but when the butcher's knife fell today, they realized that their necks are as fragile as those of the common people.

When they looked at Xiao Ning again, there was no more contempt in their eyes, only fear.

If that knife can fall on others, it can fall on them.

They succumbed to the tyranny of this woman.

But they still refused to accept!

Those who can serve as officials in Shengjing, let alone other things, at least can control their emotions freely.

Someone took the lead and knelt, bowing deeply and shouting, "I wish to honor General Xiao as the emperor and assist Your Majesty wholeheartedly to achieve lasting achievements!"

Others followed suit.

The voices were loud and firm, as if they were truly loyal subjects.

As for what they are thinking, no one knows.

Xiao Ning looked at the ministers kneeling and was very satisfied with their tact.

"My Lords, please do not try to play tricks on me behind my back. I am different from the previous emperors. I will not tolerate or condone any humiliation. If I am caught, I will kill without mercy."

Everyone said in unison: "I dare not..."

But whether I really don’t dare or just pretend, I can only wait for the future.

but……

Xiao Ning's lips curled up slowly.

It has been more than half a year, and I still don’t know how Brother Zhang is progressing.

How many of these people's backings have been broken?

Even if there comes a future, they probably won't be able to trip her up.

Either be a good subject or send them back to their hometown.

Xiao Ning said, "Everyone, please get up quickly. It's almost time. Let's take our seats together."

"Tonight marks our first banquet as king and subject. Please don't be shy and enjoy yourself!"

Everyone: “…”

They looked at the headless body still lying on the ground and the head swaying slightly in the wind, and silently took their seats.

The relatives of the murdered officials were trembling all over but dared not make a sound, for fear that they would be killed as well. They could only grab their clothes desperately and control their emotions.

At the same time, while he hated Xiao Ning in his heart, he couldn't help but blame that person for having to be the first to speak out.
