Chapter 538 Moving to the Hall of Supreme Harmony
The Ninth Eunuch stumbled to the gate of Taigan Palace. The sword-wielding guards at the gate saw that it was him and opened the door for him to let him in.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
The ninth eunuch went in and rushed straight to the emperor.
The emperor was sitting in a chair reading a book as if nothing had happened. When he saw the Ninth Eunuch stumbling in, he gave him a disdainful look and said, "You've been with me for so long, I've seen all sorts of storms and waves. How dare you scare me like this over such a trivial matter? You're really out of your league! I'm sitting here perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong. You're making a fuss out of nothing."
The emperor really has nothing to fear. He has experienced so many assassination attempts that he can't count them all.
Today, even if there are hundreds of assassination attacks, they cannot hurt him at all. The fourth brother will definitely protect him and let him succeed to the throne smoothly.
So, what is he afraid of?
"Hey, my Lord, I'm worried about you."
The Ninth Eunuch patted his chest and looked the emperor up and down. Seeing that he was indeed fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and did not take the emperor's contempt at all.
"Those assassins are truly outrageous. They actually came to the Taigan Palace to assassinate us. If we catch them, we will execute all nine generations of their clan."
The ninth eunuch stood obediently behind the emperor, muttering to himself.
The emperor looked up at him and said, "You're here at this hour. Are the Fourth Brother and the others ready?"
Ninth Eunuch nodded: "We are ready, just waiting for noon."
"Then why did you come here? Just wait at Lao Si's place."
"Isn't this old servant worried about you? No, no, there is a new situation as soon as I came back."
The emperor chuckled twice: "Those petty thieves are no match for Lao Si's men. Do you really need to worry about me?"
"That's scary too. Swords have no eyes. Who knows if a knife will fall?"
After Uncle Nine finished speaking, he looked towards the roof, where the sound of ping-pong could still be heard.
The emperor said disdainfully, "With your little courage, you still want to follow me to the imperial mausoleum. You'd better stay in the palace and enjoy your retirement."
"I will follow the Emperor wherever he goes."
The Ninth Eunuch said shamelessly without blinking an eye.
"Just follow me."
The emperor ignored him after he finished speaking, as if the fight on the roof didn't exist and continued reading.
Recently he has become interested in reading, mainly because he now has time and can sit down and read. These books were all read when he was young. Now when he reads them, he has already become the character in the book.
After Su Yue and the others had eaten and drunk their fill in the space, they came out and prepared to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
They both arrived before noon.
Because at noon Murong Li had to perform a worship ceremony at the altar in the center of the hall to show respect to his ancestors and gods, and only after the worship was completed would the boarding ceremony begin.
At this time, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with joy and guests from all over the world.
Many people looked at the sand on the table from time to time, wishing that Wu Shi would come soon, and that the emperor and Murong Li would come soon.
They will only have a chance if Murong Li shows up.
Two quarters before noon, Murong Li and his party set off. Leading the way was Eunuch Xiao Liu, the apprentice of Eunuch Nine. There were eight eunuchs in front, with Murong Li and his companion in the middle, followed by four maids, Yueying, Hongying, Hongye and Hongyu, and then officials from the Ministry of Rites. Finally, General Wei himself led a thousand elite soldiers.
The group marched towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a mighty procession.
Su Yue released her mental power to check the surroundings. There were guards patrolling everywhere, but among the patrolling guards, she saw some of them glanced over from time to time, their eyes fixed on Murong Li, not paying any attention to her.
Su Yue sneered. It was obvious that there was something wrong with these guards. She did not take any action, but just let them do what they wanted.
Today she and Murong Li just started to face it head-on, and she didn't know how many people wanted to kill them.
So don't worry, these people are just small characters.
The real tough guy is in the hall.
The East Palace is some distance away from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it takes more than a quarter of an hour to walk there.
Murong Li held Su Yue's hand and walked at a leisurely pace, chatting and laughing.
The reason why we chose to walk instead of riding in a sedan chair was to make it easier for them to check.
Murong Li is now at the second level of Qi Refining. He can use his spiritual sense to inspect within a radius of ten feet, and no movement can escape his spiritual sense.
As the two walked along, they saw no less than ten ambushes, but they did not take action and just watched them pass by.
"What do you think they mean? Are they scared?"
Su Yue asked Murong Li.
"No, they're waiting for the perfect time."
Murong Li replied in a low voice that those people were not strong enough to be attacked by the people in front of them now, so they were waiting for everyone to take action before taking action. Now they were just lurking here, and there was probably no place for them to hide around the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Su Yue understood.
When the group arrived at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor and his entourage had also arrived. The father and son nodded and prepared to enter the hall.
At this moment, a eunuch immediately sang: "The Emperor has arrived, Prince Li and Princess Li have arrived."
After the eunuchs finished singing, the emperor was the first to step into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, followed by Murong Li and Su Yue, then the four Yueying girls. The remaining eunuchs, palace maids, General Wei and others all stayed outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony and kept watch there.
"Welcome to the Emperor, welcome..."
All the ministers in the hall knelt down to welcome him, but they could not shout out the following words. They originally wanted to shout Prince Li and Princess Li, but when they saw them following behind the emperor, one wearing a dragon robe and the other wearing a phoenix robe, they did not know how to shout anymore, and at the same time they were extremely shocked.
At the same time, the ministers all understood that today's ceremony of enthroning the crown prince was actually Murong Li's coronation ceremony.
This meant nothing to the ministers loyal to Murong Mu. They were eager for Murong Li to take the throne. His abilities were obvious to all and he was much more capable than the emperor.
But there were people who did not want Murong Li to ascend the throne. Some of them knew about it, while others did not. Those who knew about it had gloomy faces, and their eyes could kill Murong Li if they said so, while those who did not know about it looked stunned.
But no matter who it was, no one continued shouting.
The emperor was not annoyed. He walked to the front, raised his hand and said, "Let's go to the front office."
The ministers kneeling in the hall slowly stood up, waiting for the emperor's explanation.
Why did they change the emperor so easily without announcing it to the world? They should stand up and express their opinions.
The guests from all directions bowed and then stood up, waiting for the emperor's next words like some ministers.
Among the envoys from the Three Kingdoms, Prince Dongfeng was the one who was most reluctant to see Murong Li succeed to the throne.
Murong Li and his wife act very strangely. Once he ascends to the throne, will Dongfeng Kingdom have any chance of survival?
However, the Crown Prince of Beifeng was happy to see Murong Li succeed to the throne. They had originally come to Xifeng for marriage under the orders of the Emperor of Beifeng.
When Princess Zhaoyang married Murong Li, she was no longer a concubine of the crown prince, but the emperor's concubine, so the nature of the relationship was different.
