Yu Yanluo's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be... that something happened to them?"
These kings hold a very special position among the demon race. Like the Golden Crow race, they can be classified as the Feathered Clan, so their relationship with the Golden Crow royal family is closer than that of other races.
Kong Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've had quite a bit of dealing with Madam in Yunzhong County before, and since you're also a friend of Young Master Zu, I won't hide anything from you."
"They have all encountered some trouble. Let's start with our clan's Ming King. Knowing that the Five Decays of Heaven and Man are approaching, the Demon Emperor chose to pass the throne to the Golden Crow Prince. However, the Peacock, Golden Roc, and Elf clans have extraordinary status and great strength. They are worried that the Golden Crow Prince is weak and may not be able to subdue the three clans. Therefore, they want to find him a powerful ally through marriage."
“Our clan’s Princess Nanwu is one of the most suitable candidates in terms of status, age, appearance and character. The Ming King also intends to form a marriage alliance with the royal family. However, Princess Nanwu is very opinionated. She feels that she does not like the Golden Crow Crown Prince and is unwilling to marry him.”
"She understood what the King was thinking and didn't argue. Everyone assumed she was doing it willingly, so no one was sent to keep an eye on her."
"As a result, she found an opportunity to leave a note and run away from home, ostensibly to go to the human race to build an intelligence network or something."
At this point, Kong Qing paused: "Young Master Zu really didn't come?"
The paper bride, who had been bored, suddenly perked up her ears.
"Why is Mr. Kong so concerned about him?" Yu Yanluo asked. Even Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were curious, as this man's interest in Zu'an was rather unusual.
"It's nothing, I just heard he's a good friend of the princess, and the Prince of Ming is a little curious about him too," Kong Qing said with a smile.
Princess Nanwu is extremely arrogant. She wouldn't even marry the Golden Crow Crown Prince, nor would she want to be the future Demon Queen. Yet, she gave the precious Chu Yu to Zu An. Not to mention the Ming King, even he couldn't help but gossip a bit.
I had previously wondered if the princess would be deceived by this human's sweet talk. Although he had performed very well in Yunzhong County, there was still a considerable gap between him and the Golden Crow Prince, who had been famous for many years.
Who knew that not long after, news came that the Golden Crow Prince had been defeated by him.
At that time, Kong Qing was truly in awe of the princess; her taste in men was absolutely superb.
"The princess's good friend." Three sharp eyes fell on Zu An in unison. When did this guy start flirting with the princess of the Peacock Clan?
However, the three women subtly averted their gazes to avoid revealing his identity.
Yun Jianyue asked curiously, "Is the princess you're talking about Kong Nanjin?"
Having saved them before, it's perfectly normal for these young girls to be experiencing their first stirrings of love.
"Of course not," Kong Qing shook his head. "I was referring to Princess Nanwu."
.
The three goddesses' expressions suddenly turned strange. The princess was even giving up being a demon queen to elope. Could it be for him?
What kind of charm does this guy have? He even managed to win the heart of a demon princess from thousands of miles away!
Yu Yanluo suddenly felt a little sour. No wonder Zu'an beat up the Golden Crow Prince so badly before. She originally thought he was standing up for her, but it turned out he was doing it for the Peacock Clan's princess.
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue's eyes also turned dangerous. No wonder this guy made a bet to get someone else's crown princess. It turns out he had it all planned out.
Feeling the rising anger in the background, Zu'an really wanted to cry out that he was wronged, because Kong Nanwu and I were just ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend.
At this moment, Kong Qing said apologetically, "By the way, I also want to apologize to you on behalf of Princess Changning. This time, it was because she let slip that Young Master Zu was with the Snake Clan, which caused the Lion Clan to cause trouble for you. I originally wanted to come over to help you out, but when I learned that Little Demon Queen was passing by, I simply stayed at the city gate to wait for you."
Reading at midnight
Everyone suddenly realized why the Lion Clan had approached them; it turned out that Kong Nanjin had let it slip.
The woman was passable in appearance, but she was definitely a bit stupid.
"It's alright. There were other people present at the time, and this matter couldn't have been kept secret anyway." Yu Yanluo naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against them for this, especially since the Peacock Clan's attitude was so sincere.
"Madam Yu truly possesses the demeanor of a great lady," Kong Qing praised, then continued, "Because Princess Nanwu clearly intended to elope, the royal family was extremely displeased. Ming Wang had no choice but to resign, which appeased the Demon Emperor's anger. Therefore, Ming Wang is currently under investigation, and with the matter of the Great Golden Roc King, Ming Wang is worried about causing unnecessary... trouble, so he basically refuses to see guests."
The group exchanged glances. It seemed that besides the infighting among the princes and the little demon queen, the various families in the royal court were also engaged in open and covert struggles.
"What happened to the Great Golden Roc King?" Yu Yanluo asked curiously.
Kong Qing looked around before lowering his voice and saying, "Not long ago, the Great Golden Roc King was summoned to the palace by the Demon Emperor for a banquet. As a result, the day after he returned home from the banquet, his family found him dead."
Upon hearing this, the group was shocked. The Great Golden Roc King held a transcendent position among the demon race and was a world-renowned powerhouse, yet he had died so suddenly.
"Could it be that the Demon Emperor killed him?" Yun Jianyue asked directly, without any hesitation.
Kong Qing was startled and hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Young lady, please don't speak recklessly. Defaming the Demon Emperor behind his back is a serious crime, especially since this matter is so sensitive."
He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, there are indeed such rumors circulating, but the Great Golden Roc King showed no signs of injury or poisoning. Furthermore, the Demon Emperor was deeply grieved and personally presided over his funeral, appointing his son, the Little Golden Roc King, as the new Golden Roc King, bestowing upon him even greater favor than before. The Little Golden Roc King has also received numerous honors..."
