Chapter 150 The Rise of the Female Ruler

Someone else shouted, "That looks like the character '生' on the very edge."

"Yes, yes... they are indeed characters... Jun... that looks like the character '日' (sun)..."

"Yeah, that's right... I'm not too sure about the one on the far right, but the one in the middle is the character 'yang'."

...

The crowd stirred, and many people pushed forward.

King Yu stood tall and unmoved.

Princess Yeon-ah, who was keeping her distance, was also puzzled.

The closer Mu Xi got, the less she could see.

At this moment, someone shouted: "Back up, back up... backing up makes it even more obvious..."

Just as Mu Xi was retreating with the others, someone uttered: "Sheng...Yang...Jun...Nü..."

how?

Mu Xi reversed the four characters in her mind, but how come it was "Female Ruler Yang Sheng"?

This isn't right.

Back off, back off some more.

Until she saw the faint characters formed by the "starlight" scattered on the surface of the meteorite.

this……

Isn't that too subtle?

Or rather, it's too scattered. The four characters "女郡主升" (Nü Jun Zhu Sheng) should have been broken up into pieces and scattered too far apart.

As a result, the character "郡" (jun) in the name of a princess was split in two. Not only was the dot on top of "主" (zhu) gone, but the bottom part, which should have been the character "王" (wang), somehow looked like the character "日" (ri).

The last character "升" (shēng) doesn't mean "to rise" or "to ascend," but rather resembles the "生" (shēng) in "to be born."

"A female ruler? Who is a female ruler?" As soon as the words "female ruler" became clearer, the ministers began to discuss it.

According to Mu Xi's plan, the first round would feature a giant golden python, a "divine intervention" to pave the way for a "divine revelation."

The second round featured "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" and "Stars Falling Like Rain," in order to solidify the "divine revelation from heaven."

As for the third round... it should be the "divine revelation" being revealed to the world, first to build momentum for the "female princess's" debut.

But now the "female princess" has become the "female ruler," which is not far off.

However, her current goal is to rise to a higher level, having already risen from "princess" to "female monarch," but the subsequent "Yang Sheng" doesn't make sense.

If she is a "female ruler," then she should be "yin ruling yang." The phrase "yang rising" is not as good as "raising one's voice."

Mu Xi couldn't play these word games and was having a headache.

King Yu's expression was also not very good.

The news spread like wildfire among the officials and the onlookers in the distance.

The four large characters "女君阳升" (Nüjun Yangsheng) on ​​the fake meteorite look increasingly real the more you look at it.

Like a spark thrown into boiling oil, it instantly ignited the crowd that had gathered around Qifengtai.

"A female ruler? This... does this mean a female ruler is about to be born?"

"Oh dear, that's yin and yang reversed, heaven and earth out of order..."

"Has Yan Sheng never been without a female ruler?"

"It's against the will of Heaven; no wonder a hundred birds took flight just now."

"Then what about the 'Golden Dragon Appears in the World'?"

"Imperial Preceptor, Imperial Preceptor...don't you think this is turning the world upside down?"

"So many unusual phenomena and apocalypses tonight, could it be that..."

...

Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency.

Mu Xi couldn't help but ask herself, had she gone to all this trouble, only to find that she had overdone it?

With a clang.

Suddenly, King Yu drew the sword of his Red Carp Guard behind him, strode forward, and leaped into the air, swinging the sword at the fake meteorite: "Falsehood, falsehood... all falsehood..."

The malevolent energy transformed into a cold, white streak that tore through the void, carrying an aura powerful enough to cleave mountains. The sword slashed fiercely, sending shards of stone flying.

Everyone present fell silent.

Sparks flew, grazing Yu Wang Muji's forehead and temples where veins bulged.

However, the scattered characters were sparsely distributed, unless the entire surface of the fake meteorite was shaved off...

All the men of the Mu family came from military backgrounds.

Yu Wang's figure, leaping in mid-air, seemed possessed, slashing and hacking without stopping, showing no signs of fatigue, just like a battlefield battle.

The clanging and banging sounds continued for an unknown amount of time until a muffled groan, twisted with pain, burst from deep within his throat.

The King of Yu lost his sword and staggered back three or four steps before being caught by the Red Carp Guards.

Dead silence.

It was deathly silent again.

A suffocating, deathly silence.

The ministers stood frozen in place, like clay or wooden sculptures.

The Mu clan of the Great Yu Dynasty established their state through military force. This generation of King Mu Ji was also warlike and valued military strength over literature. However, he never suppressed speech and did not exert much pressure on the government through writing or speech.

That's why the officials and ministers dared to speak so boldly just now, but they didn't know why Mu Ji suddenly reacted so strongly.

In the utter silence, Princess Yan Ya suddenly chuckled: "Hehe... 'When Mars guards the heart, the radiant light suddenly shines. The daughter of the dark yin, the phoenix spirit descends upon the lord. The ruler of the North Star, all under heaven submit; when the ruler is lost, the imperial pivot collapses.' It seems Your Majesty still remembers this prophecy. It's a pity that the Yan Kingdom has already been destroyed by you, so why worry that a mere woman like me could be overthrown again?"

His aloofness and arrogance only served to highlight his disheveled and shattered state.

Mu Xi didn't understand the prophecy, but she could guess most of it from the shapes of the two people.

Isn't this the meaning of "whoever wins the princess wins the world, whoever loses the princess loses the world"?

She just happened to walk right into the line of fire.

No wonder a princess of a fallen kingdom could still hold such a position.

To obtain it is impossible; to kill it is also impossible.

Yu Wang Mu Ji may not have loved Princess Yan Ya very much, but Princess Yan Ya was definitely a source of heartache for him.

This is...

No wonder she did it.

This was an "accident".

Mu Xi was pondering to herself. After laying the groundwork for the "Divine Revelation" trilogy, she was supposed to find an opportunity to ask King Yu to let her go to the Western Territory. After all, the prayer for Jin Fangjun Mu Zhen had been completed along with the sacrifice to the gods, and the rest was up to fate.

As the heir of the Jin Fang clan, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to remain in Moyang City indefinitely. Although she lacked the ability to lead troops, she now possessed the "Spirit Shaman" physique, which she could use to "defend the borders and protect the land."

Can……

Judging from Yu Wang Muji's current expression, it's not appropriate to say anything.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate and King Yu remained silent and gloomy, a lone rider came galloping in from afar.

The messenger immediately shouted urgently, "Report...urgent report..."

Upon getting close, they immediately fell off their horses.

The Red Carp Guard went up and took a bamboo tube with sealing wax from the messenger.

King Yu took the bamboo tube, opened it, took out the parchment inside, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.

Gao Quan, who had barely spoken all evening, sensed something was amiss: "Your Majesty, what has happened?"

King Yu's response was just six words: "The southern border has fallen; return to the palace."

The eunuch beside him hurriedly relayed the order: "Prepare the carriage, depart, return to the palace..."

In an instant, chaos erupted below Qifeng Terrace.

King Yu couldn't wait any longer and headed towards the imperial carriage, and all the ministers hurriedly followed.

Mu Xi was the only one who went against the direction of the fake meteorite. The main objective for tonight has not yet been achieved, and it is obviously not appropriate to bring it up again now. But what should be done with this fake meteorite that cost so much money?

King Yu had already taken several steps when he suddenly remembered something: "Where is Prince Jin Fang?"

Mu Xi was still in a daze and didn't hear anything.

The ministers readily made way for them.

King Yu looked back at Mu Xi: "Prince Jin Fang will also return to the palace."

"ah?"

Mu Xi was completely confused. What did the fall of the Southern Border have to do with her?
