Yu Qianqian glanced up casually, but before she could find Mu Beichen's face, she was met with countless disdainful gazes from people all around her, just like when her identity was exposed and she was subjected to slander and violent abuse from everyone.
It turns out that the most terrifying thing in this world is not war, but the human heart!
As she drew closer to the man before her, she finally regained her composure. Even though she could clearly sense that the ministers still harbored resentment towards her, at least for this moment, due to Mu Beichen's influence, they still felt some fear towards her, which gave her the courage to continue.
Although she knew in her heart what had affected the officials' emotions, the thought that she would forever have to carry this ugly mark on half of her face caused her heart to ache, and the sudden oppressive aura in the room made everyone feel suffocated.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But then she thought that she had reached the pinnacle of her life, and now that all the obstacles to her future had been cleared away, she could no longer be greedy. If she could become the Empress of the Northern You Kingdom and rule the world, that would be terrifying enough. Even if she had suffered so much pain, it would be worth it.
Amidst the scorn of the crowd, Yu Qianqian stood tall and took several deep breaths, trying to relax. She didn't look at anyone else, only at Mu Beichen. When Mu Beichen saw her coming, he couldn't wait to go up to her, tightly holding her slender hand, and they walked side by side to the top of the steps and sat down together.
At this moment, she could finally look him in the eye, her lips slightly pursed, her smile dazzling, as if the half-mask on each other's faces had disappeared.
"Achen, Achen—" Yu Qianqian glanced at the ministers below the stage, then quickly leaned her face towards Mu Beichen and whispered, "Do you really think I can be the empress?"
Yu Qianqian's thick, long eyelashes pressed against someone's face, blinking incessantly. Her dark, clear eyes sparkled, making Mu Beichen want to laugh. He then nodded meaningfully in response.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Beichen resolutely stood up, looking down at the ministers below the high platform. His eyes were firm and composed, and his demeanor exuded the majesty of an emperor. At this moment, Mu Beichen in her eyes was outstanding and noble, like a god descended to earth. Scenes from the past flashed through her mind.
I still remember not long ago, all those things that happened with Hua Mancheng, Su Yu, and Mu Wange. Those vibrant lives are all imprinted in my heart.
“I, Yu Qianqian, was born into a noble family, but I never imagined that every step of this bright future would be made possible by the blood of my relatives and friends. In the next life, I do not seek wealth and glory, but only wish that all my dearest and most beloved people will be blessed with happiness as long as the Eastern Sea and live a long and peaceful life.”
With a gentle flick of her sleeve, Yu Qianqian slowly rose from her seat, gazing at the azure sky, and silently said in her heart: "Hua Mancheng, now I have become the most honored woman in the world, and no one will dare to bully me anymore. Are you happy for me?"
Suddenly, a voice as clear as shattered jade rang out across the Wuji Palace Square: "Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Empress!"
This voice... why does it sound so much like Hua Mancheng's?
Yu Qianqian quickly turned around upon hearing the sound and vaguely saw the handsome man in white standing among the officials!
Finally, with someone taking the lead, all the civil and military officials in the arena knelt down in rows and shouted "Long live the Emperor!" in unison. The echoes reverberated in the square in front of the Wuji Palace, and the shouts of tens of thousands of people were amplified, making it as shocking as an earthquake.
