The queen stared at Feng Qing in a daze.
This daughter born by her had become so unfamiliar to her at some point, so unfamiliar that she subconsciously swallowed back all the curses that were about to rise up in her throat.
"Mother, I have one last question for you."
There was a hint of inquiry in Feng Qing's eyes. "Royal brother said that you were blind because you cried so much about me. Tell me the truth, what's the reason?"
The Queen replied subconsciously, "Yes, it's because your father has been reluctant to appoint a crown prince and has even favored another concubine who gave birth to a prince. I'm worried that he plans to appoint someone else as the crown prince, so..."
"Haha, as expected."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Feng Qing's face.
She knew that her mother had never cared about her, so how could she cry so much that she went blind because she missed her?
Seeing Feng Qing's expression was not right, the Queen quickly said, "Sixteen, your mother is also worried about you. She is worried about whether you have eaten enough and slept well outside..."
Feng Qing frowned unhappily, "Okay, stop talking. It makes me feel sick."
"Sixteen, how could you think so much about Mother?"
The queen looked at Feng Qing with tears in her eyes and a hurt expression, trying to impress Feng Qing.
Every time she cried in the past, Sixteen would come to comfort her. This time would definitely be the same as before. Sixteen would spare no effort to save her and then take her to find Huang'er...
"Mother, I don't have time to coax you anymore."
Feng Qing slowly stood up and looked indifferently at the empress whose breath was gradually weakening. "From now on, you can watch from heaven as I commit such a heinous crime."
After saying that, Feng Qing resolutely turned around and walked towards Jiang Deng who was standing at the door.
"Peak Master, I've made up my mind..."
Feng Qing clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with ambition. "I want to stay! Since there has never been a woman emperor since ancient times, I want to be the first one!"
"Good! You have ambition!" Jiang Deng praised sincerely.
Feng Qing smiled faintly, unperturbed by fame or disgrace.
At this time, Feng Qing had shed her previous hesitations and worries, becoming dazzling and truly grown up.
Jiang Deng had a hunch that Feng Qing’s future achievements would be no worse than anyone else’s.
——
Although the matter of Fenglan Empire was over, Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling did not leave immediately, but stayed for a while.
In the previous battle with Lin Jun, she had consumed too much of her chaotic power, and then she had to cross the sea of fire. It would take a few days for her body to fully recover, and it would not be too late to go to the auction house then.
As for whether Feng Qing can become the emperor?
There is no need to worry about this. As long as Feng Qing wants, she can do anything.
First of all, Cui Ning did not have the ability to be emperor. When he heard that Feng Qing was planning to become emperor, he was stunned for a moment and then firmly supported Feng Qing.
What else can I do if I don't support him? He's an immortal cultivator!
Feng Qing did not abandon Cui Ning and promised to rehabilitate Cui Ning's father after he ascended the throne. At the same time, he appointed Cui Ning as the general of the country and let him continue to guard the border.
Secondly, all the ministers in the court had been killed by Lin Jun, so Feng Qing simply recruited officials who were idle at home and some talented and capable women.
Anyway, there were plenty of people who wanted to be officials. In just one day, Feng Qing organized a team of civil and military officials that was no less than the previous team, and even set a precedent for women to serve as officials.
The male officials in the court were furious. A woman as emperor was already the bottom line they could accept. How could they choose another female official? Wouldn't that take up the quota of their clans and families?
So a series of remarks like "hens crow at dawn, the family is doomed" came out, meaning that if the hens take over the roosters' job and crow in the morning, the family will be ruined.
Facing their doubts, Feng Qing directly retorted, "Father is a man, but why did he destroy the country in less than ten years? Is he a rooster that can't crow?"
“…”
Everyone was speechless for a long time, and finally could only say dryly: "You can't have so many female officials, wouldn't that mean there are more females than males?"
"Oh, it should be more yin than yang. Do you have any objections?"
Feng Qing directly exuded the pressure of a cultivator, and the mortals in the hall immediately fell silent.
A grand coronation ceremony was held the next day. At the same time, Feng Qing changed the name of the Fenglan Empire to the Nirvana Kingdom, which means rebirth in Nirvana and sublimation in rebirth.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
The imperial palace, inside the magnificent palace.
Jiang Deng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
The chaotic power in her body was finally fully restored. Not only that, the Chongguang Sword had also absorbed all of Qingluan's inner elixir and restored to 70%.
The appearance of the heavy sword also changed, from the previous three-foot green blade to a seven-foot heavy sword.
The sword body is thick and majestic, and the color is still a somewhat old bronze, but there is a blue gem the size of a baby's fist inlaid on the hilt, emitting a dazzling light.
Is this... Qingluan's inner elixir?
Jiang Deng sensed something unusual. She walked into the courtyard, injected the power of chaos into the heavy light sword, and swung the sword at the big tree three steps away.
The green sword light lit up!
The sword energy not only carried Jiang Deng's unique destructive sword intent, but also the flame stimulated by Qingluan's inner elixir. As soon as the sword energy fell on the tree, it instantly caught fire.
The heat wave is coming!
Looking at the thick green flame in front of him, Jiang Deng frowned slightly. Why did it feel like the temperature of this fire was even higher than the Heavenly Grade Qingyu Strange Fire?
"It's on fire! Put it out!"
The palace servants nearby, seeing the sudden fire in the yard, immediately picked up buckets and poured water on it. Unexpectedly, the fire was not extinguished, but burned even more fiercely.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Jiang Deng had no choice but to pinch his fingers and release a water spell towards the fire.
Well... the fire is still not out.
In the end, Jiang Deng could only move the Heavy Light Sword closer to the green flame and absorb the flame back into the sword body. Not only was the towering tree gone, but a big hole was also burned out on the ground.
This is not the Qingyu Strange Fire transformed from the Qingluan feathers, but the real divine flame, the Qingluan True Flame!
Realizing this, Jiang Deng had no time to be happy. She touched her lower abdomen. After releasing the unique sword energy just now, only two-thirds of the chaotic power remained in her dantian.
It seems that activating the Blue Luan True Flame consumes too much spiritual energy and must be used at the critical moment.
Although Jiang Deng has not yet refined the Blue Luan True Flame, he can decide on his own whether to use the Chongguang Sword to unleash the sword energy containing the Blue Luan True Flame.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
The female official's voice suddenly rang out.
The next moment, Feng Qing, wearing a brocade dragon robe, walked over with steady steps.
With the blessing of power, a strong imperial aura lingered around her, and she was majestic without even being angry.
Jiang Deng looked over, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Feng Qing, why are you here?"
