Chapter 658: Beautiful Fox Demon vs. Unfavored Prince (54)

At the same time, in the Golden Palace.

Nalan Ji, sitting on a high seat, rested his chin on his elbows and looked at the ministers who were trying to commit suicide below.

His deep eyes showed no emotion.

"Your Majesty, over the years, many innocent people have died tragically at the hands of the demon clan. Even though Yin Lucha has helped you, she is a fox demon! Sooner or later, she will lose control and harm people! You must not make her your queen!"

"If the Emperor insists on making Yin Lucha his empress, we will crash into the throne room and die! I only hope the Emperor won't be deceived by the fox demon and bring disaster to the Nalan Dynasty!"

General Qu, standing in front on the left, confronted the ministers, "Instead of talking, why don't you just go and commit suicide by banging your head against a pillar?"

"Not long ago, the Mo Kingdom attacked us. It was only thanks to Miss Yin and the demon tribes she brought with her that our army suffered no casualties."

"If Miss Yin had been capable of harming and cannibalizing people, would the Emperor be alive today?"

Nalan Yan also stood up to speak for the woman: "People are divided into good and bad, and so are demons?"

"Can you all swear to heaven that you have never done anything wrong?"

After these words were spoken, the ministers who were causing trouble were speechless.

At this time, Nalan Ji's voice came: "I am tired, let's stop here today."

The eunuch standing next to Nalan Ji immediately shouted in a shrill voice: "Withdraw from the court——"

After leaving court, Nalan Ji did not return to Qingzhu Cottage to find Lu Cha, but went to the late emperor's bedroom.

Although he has now succeeded to the throne, he still lives in the Green Bamboo Cottage.

Chu Xiang, who was waiting in the courtyard of the palace, saw Nalan Ji coming and handed him a stack of paper money:

"Your Majesty, everything is ready as you ordered."

Nalan Ji waved his hand, signaling Chu Xiang to lead the palace people to retreat.

He looked at the memorial tablet placed in the middle of the yard, squatted in front of the copper basin, and lit the paper money in his hand.

The flickering flames slightly blurred Nalan Ji's face.

"Mother, I turned that man's bedroom into your mourning hall. If you knew about this, would you blame me for destroying his residence?"

Since he was born, Nalan Ji has never seen Concubine Shu, and can only imagine his mother's appearance from the words of others.

Because the late emperor thought that Concubine Shu was a demon and brought bad luck, after ordering her to be burned to death, he also destroyed all things related to her, leaving no portrait.

Watching the paper money in the basin burn out, Nalan Ji felt a little sad for some reason.

He and his mother were just strangers who had never even met each other.

Suddenly a familiar lotus fragrance came over.

Nalan Ji looked up subconsciously.

The woman in red stood not far away, looking at him with tender eyes.

Seeing that he had noticed her, the woman raised her hand and showed him a lunch box, obviously calling him to have dinner.

The depression that was lingering in Nalan Ji's chest disappeared along with the last spark in the basin.

The person who gave him hope from beginning to end was her.

The little fox demon that belongs only to him.

[Ding—Villain's Darkness Value—10.]

[Congratulations to the host for completing all the main tasks. ]

The officials originally thought that Nalan Ji had not mentioned the matter of establishing a queen recently and had given up on this idea.

Unexpectedly, when Nalan Ji went to court that day, he directly dropped a bombshell:

"I have decided to pass the throne to the virtuous king Nalan Yan."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Even Nalan Yan was confused.

The emperor never mentioned this to him!

Lord Wang, who had been leading the effort to prevent Lu Cha from becoming the queen, stood up:

"Your Majesty, the throne is no joke. You've only been on the throne for a month. How can you abdicate and give it to the virtuous king?"

"The wise king doesn't know how to govern a country at all."

Nalan Yan on the side nodded and said: "Brother Emperor, I don't know anything. If you give me the throne, you are destroying the Nalan Dynasty in disguise."

However, Nalan Ji turned a deaf ear and handed the imperial edict that had been written long ago to General Qu.

Then, he glanced at Lord Wang and other officials and chuckled:

"Since the gentlemen and the people of this city do not agree with me making Yin Lucha my empress, then I will no longer be the emperor."

"Do you still want to stop me?"

Lord Wang choked.

Nalan Ji is no longer the emperor, what else can he say?

Yin Lucha is a disaster! He caused them to lose a wise ruler!

Not only Lord Wang thought so, but others also thought so.

General Qu couldn't help but persuade him, "Your Majesty, would you like to reconsider?"

"During this period, the people's impression of the demon race has changed."

Tianya Tower and Changle Palace have been working hard to eliminate people's prejudice against the demon race.

Just wait a few more days and you will see results.

However, Nalan Ji just looked towards the cold palace and said, "I have made up my mind."

In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to let the little fox demon ascend to the throne.

But he never considered whether she was willing to stay in the palace.

The little fox demon likes freedom and likes to eat, drink and have fun. How could she be willing to be trapped in such a big harem?

Human life is limited.

What he wanted was for the little fox demon to spend every day happily with him.

The throne and power are not important to him at all.

Before General Qu could speak again, Nalan Ji had already taken off his bright yellow robe and handed it to Nalan Yan:

"From now on, the Nalan Dynasty depends on you."

He is going to find his little fox demon.
