"Who?" Yasuda frowned, displeased by the other party's incomplete sentence.

The minister quickly said, "Prime Minister, you seem to have forgotten that Her Highness Princess Zhenzi, the biological daughter of the late Emperor Longyu, who is living far away in another country, is also of pure royal blood and is qualified to inherit the throne!"

"Your Highness Mako?"

Yasuda's eyes lit up.

He certainly remembered Mako Longyu; she was once the most beautiful woman in Japan.

She only married a security guard after experiencing heartbreak and went abroad.

It's a great pity, and it's a tragedy for the entire country of Japan.

"Princess Mako has already gone to Hawaii and withdrawn from the Imperial Family. I'm afraid she won't be coming back!" Yasuda shook his head.

He knew a lot about Mako's affairs. When she left, she wasn't in a good mental state; she had tried to take medicine and even attempted suicide by hanging. How could a great nation like Japan allow such a person to be its monarch? Absolutely not.

However, a minister suddenly revealed some news.

"Prime Minister, you may not know this, but His Highness Mako and Young Marshal Lin of Great Xia have a deep connection. It was because of him that His Highness suffered a heartbreak and left the country to settle down!"

"What?" Yasuda looked incredulous.

They seemed to find it hard to believe.

"Are you sure this is true?" he asked again.

The minister in charge of intelligence immediately patted his chest and said, "Prime Minister, Lin Yu has now stepped into the limelight, and many things are already secrets. According to our intelligence, he is the same divine physician who came to the Japanese royal family to treat the princess back then, and he is also the head of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. I can guarantee with my life that it is definitely him!"

Oh my god!

Yasuda seemed to have discovered a new continent.

This is incredible.

I mean, is there really such a coincidence in this world?

To be able to sit in the position of prime minister, one must naturally be very clever.

Through these events, he can think of many problems.

The two had a romantic history. Since Longyu Mako did not get the person she loved, will she turn her love into hatred?

Or perhaps the two had a past relationship, and even if they didn't end up together, is it possible that if they met again, things would still be the same?

These are all points that can be used, so this Mako is indeed a suitable candidate to inherit the throne.

"Quickly, prepare the private jet! I'm going to Hawaii to personally bring Princess Mako back to the country!"

Yasuda impatiently ordered his men to prepare a connecting flight, intending to bring Mako back to Japan.

...

Hawaii.

The sunlight shone on the clear sea, making it sparkle.

A woman is sitting on the beach, setting up her easel, and recording this beautiful scene on rice paper.

She paints watercolors, with a touch of Han Dynasty style.

In fact, Mako studied in Daxia, specializing in Chinese language and traditional Chinese painting. Through long-term study and appreciation, she gradually integrated the traditional Chinese painting styles of the two countries, forming her own unique style and characteristics.

Her paintings are mostly characterized by somber colors, rarely featuring bold and vibrant hues.

But today, she focused on rendering on the paper, adding rich, bold watercolors.

It's clear that she's in a special mood today.

"Your Highness!"

A tall man in a suit slowly walked over and knelt on one knee.

"Zuo Mu, I've already said that you are my husband in name only, there's no need for such a grand ceremony!"

Over the years, this security guard has remained loyal and protective of her, which has deeply moved Mako.

However, he was not the one she loved.

Actually, her departure from the royal family wasn't due to any emotional intelligence; that was just a pretext.

She is a very intelligent woman.

She knew better than anyone how many power struggles there were in the royal family, and she also knew that her useless brothers were incapable of upholding the royal family's banner. But as a woman, she was not qualified to inherit the throne, so she left because she did not want to get involved in the vortex of power struggles.

Asian constitutional monarchies place great emphasis on gender succession; since women are not eligible to inherit the throne, they might as well stay away from it.

She is very happy with her life in Hawaii now.

only……

As she spoke, she looked up at the sea and sky to the east, and the sight of the sea and sky merging into one stirred up a certain emotion within her.

It seems to be called longing.

"Six years and eighteen days since I left you, I miss you!"

She murmured to herself.

It wasn't until the sun was blocked by clouds and a slight chill crept over her that she came to her senses.

"You've come to see me, is there something you need?" She resumed her cold and arrogant expression and asked in a deep voice.

Zuo Mu looked up and pursed his lips, even though the woman in front of him was his wife in name only.

He desperately wanted this woman, but he knew he wasn't worthy of her.

He was nothing more than a bodyguard from a security background. If it weren't for Her Highness the Princess, he and his family would have perished long ago in the power struggles within the royal family.

As a servant, the only thing he could give this beautiful woman was his life and his loyalty!

After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke, "The Prime Minister has arrived!"

"Oh? Yasuda's here?"

Mako Ryūhimi was quite surprised, but the next second, she realized something.

“Hehe, the fact that he came to see me means that the royal family needs me. So, does that mean there are no men left in the royal family? No, even if there are no men, there is still my elder sister, Longyu Tongren. She is a figure like Princess Taiping, and she admires Wu Zetian the most in her life. This throne should belong to her!” Longyu Zhenzi analyzed carefully.

“They…are all dead!” Zuo Mu uttered these words with his head down.
