"What are you laughing at? Are you kidding me? Get ready and line up!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao replied calmly, "I advise you to reorganize your words before you start talking to me. Of course, it would be even better if you poisoned yourself to the point of muteness."
"Did you take the wrong medicine today? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"What's the matter? Are you still planning to treat me like your grandson?"
The fat man felt a chill run down his spine from Shen Zhao's strange laughter and couldn't help but roar.
"Don't think that just because His Majesty ascends the throne, you can marry into the royal family and do whatever you want. As long as you don't marry His Majesty, you must obey my orders."
"Yo he~"
Shen Zhao was all too familiar with the fat man in front of him.
Not only the fat man, but everyone in the Jing'an Division was at odds with Shen Zhao.
The reason is quite simple.
Because Shen Zhao is more handsome...
Actually, being handsome is secondary. The key is that Shen Zhao is the emperor's chosen son-in-law. After the empress ascends the throne, half a year later, when she turns eighteen, she will marry into the royal family and become Yu Xiyan's husband.
How enviable this is!
Yu Xiyan is a "national" goddess. How could a poor boy like you marry the current empress? It would be strange if she could be nice to you with this attitude.
In his previous lives, Shen Zhao wouldn't have bothered to care so much about his colleagues, no matter how much he disliked them, because there were system restrictions that prevented him from going too far.
But now...
I have really tolerated you for a long time!
Seeing that his fat boss had such a foul mouth, Shen Zhao didn't hesitate. Without saying a word, he raised his iron palm and slapped him across the cheek.
The fat man fell to the ground before he could react, and his insomnia that had plagued him for years was instantly cured.
"You dare to hit our Tiger Brother? You are courting death!"
Upon seeing this, the two little karami immediately prepared to draw their knives, intending to teach Shen Zhao a lesson.
"Yoho~ Are you rushing forward to get beaten?"
However, before the knife could be drawn, Shen Zhao appeared in front of the two of them and slapped them both with a "pfft, pfft" sound.
The two little Karami fell unconscious on the spot, and deeply experienced what it meant to have a mother.
After dealing with the three insignificant bystanders, Shen Zhao realized that his strength was greater than the sum of his previous nine lives, and he could control it with ease, achieving impressive results without needing any fancy combat techniques.
Before he could think it through, a large group of little karami rushed over at the sound. When they saw the three people lying on the ground and Shen Zhao standing there shaking his wrist, they immediately understood what had happened.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Zhao asked innocently.
"How dare you, Shen Zhao, commit insubordination! Kneel down and confess your sins!"
To demonstrate his loyalty to his superior, a young karami immediately drew his knife and declared he wanted to spar with Shen Zhao.
Just as Xiao Karami leaped into the air towards Shen Zhao, Shen Zhao punched him directly in the abdomen.
Little Karami bounced out like a missile without a word, and crashed heavily into a wall of the courtyard and fell asleep on the spot.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. A tall, thin captain immediately stepped forward and asked, "Shen Zhao, do you want to rebel?"
Shen Zhao said, "I am leaving the capital. I hope that my brothers will not try to stop me out of consideration for our past as colleagues. We have worked together for so long, let's part ways amicably."
The captain immediately roared, "Insolence! Shen Zhao, do you know what you're saying? Today is the day the new emperor ascends the throne, and you're here fighting with your colleague? Do you have no respect for the law?! You think you can leave so easily? Not so fast!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao stopped talking and pointed at the group of little Karami in front of him, saying, "Since you don't want to discuss this properly, then I have no choice. Come at me all at once. Don't waste each other's time. I'm very busy!"
If it were the previous nine incarnations, Shen Zhao would absolutely not have left the capital during this period; he would have simply followed the system's instructions to fawn over Yu Xiyan.
But now the system is gone, no one can stop me even if they come!
Before crossing over to this world, I had never been anyone's bootlicker, and now I can finally vent the humiliation and anger of these nine lifetimes.
Seeing Shen Zhao's arrogance, the captain stopped wasting words and shouted, "Take him down!"
...
The square outside the Taiji Hall is magnificent, with a bright red carpet extending from the palace gate to the outside of the hall. Combined with the fragrance of petals covering the ground, it looks particularly solemn and elegant.
On both sides of the red carpet, there were fully armed guards wearing golden armor, who looked very imposing against the backdrop of the morning sun.
Behind the guards, all the civil and military officials in the court stood, all bowing their heads towards the purple-gold dragon throne on the white jade steps, which symbolized the pinnacle of imperial power.
On the dragon throne, a peerless and beautiful girl, dressed in a gorgeous imperial robe with bright red borders, sat quietly on the throne above thousands of people, with an air of majesty without even being angry.
Her beautiful eyes wandered as she quietly watched the master of ceremonies read out the abdication edict to all officials.
The young woman, aged seventeen, was the most talented cultivator in the history of the Yintian Dynasty. She was none other than Yu Xiyan, the wife whom Shen Zhao had longed for for nine lifetimes.
Yu Xiyan's face was as cold as frost, and she exuded the aura of a superior that was completely different from her age.
But at this moment, Yu Xiyan's beautiful eyes looked towards the spacious palace gate in the distance from time to time, as if waiting for some important person to arrive.
When the master of ceremonies finished reading the imperial edict and all the officials shouted "Long live the emperor!", Yu Xiyan came back to her senses, looked at the officials, stood up and raised the imperial seal:
"I have been summoned to the throne today to fulfill my duties as ruler and shoulder the Emperor's mandate. I will ensure that the Yintian Dynasty enjoys peace and prosperity for all."
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
As all the officials shouted in unison again, Yu Xiyan's coronation ceremony was completed.
