Chiwen was incredibly successful during that time, walking with his head held high every day.
If only that piece of blue ice hadn't melted a month later.
Although everyone initially found the taste somewhat disgusting, they figured that the tea offered by the Dragon King must be something special and must have some effect, so they all drank it with furrowed brows.
Until a young man couldn't help but raise an objection.
What is this thing that tastes like poop and looks like a pile of poop?
Like the Emperor's New Clothes being punctured, everyone finally realized that this so-called ancient divine object, Blue Ice, was nothing but a pile of dried-up shit wrapped in ice.
Then they brewed it with tea...
Everyone vomited on the spot, and the entire Dragon Palace was filled with the smell of vomit.
The Dragon King was enraged and picked up his stick, beating Chiwen until he cried out in pain.
If the Queen hadn't happened to return from visiting her relatives among the mermaids and stopped him, Chiwen would probably have been killed on the spot.
This incident became a dark chapter in the history that the Dragon King and all the important ministers of the sea tribe found difficult to talk about.
Everyone tacitly kept the whole thing a secret.
It's important to understand that with a large number of people involved in history, leaks are inevitable, and information can't always be kept secret.
But this matter is quite strange, as only those high-ranking officials knew about it.
Because nobody wants others to know about what they did, no one will leak the news.
The culprit behind the whole thing is naturally Chiwen. Everyone is so angry they want to kill him. Who would want to support such an unreliable guy as the new king?
The thought that if Zaun supported this guy to ascend to the throne of the Sea King, then every time they paid homage to him in the future, they would remember the time he treated them to a meal would make their faces turn extremely ugly.
After responding to Chiwen, Zuan went to the mourning hall to offer incense to the Dragon King. Looking at the Dragon King's portrait, he sighed inwardly. This guy was a mediocre ruler, indulging in lust and forgetting his duties. Demons took advantage of his weakness so easily, almost causing the entire sea race to perish.
The other sea creature ministers exchanged glances as they watched him stand silently before the portrait. It seemed the Regent and the Dragon King indeed shared a deep friendship. Alas, we had misunderstood him before.
Shang Hongyu's face flushed slightly. After all, she had just fought fiercely with Zu An, and now she felt a little strange standing side by side with him in front of her deceased husband's portrait.
After a while, Zuan lit the incense and turned to look at the many sea tribe ministers: "I heard you are selecting a new Sea King?"
The ministers looked at each other, but dared not refuse to answer: "Indeed, now that the Dragon King has passed away, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Therefore, everyone is thinking of first electing a new king so that people's hearts can be at peace."
"It's just that everyone is arguing about who should be chosen, as each of the princes has their own merits."
The most promising ministers, including the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the eighth prince, began to describe how wise their princes were, citing various classics to prove how suitable they were to inherit the throne.
Seeing that the mourning hall had once again descended into a chaotic mess like a marketplace, Zu'an interrupted everyone directly: "No need to argue, I have someone in mind."
The ministers of the sea tribes changed their expressions slightly, thinking that he had indeed interfered in the election of the Sea King.
However, the other party was simply too powerful, and no one dared to oppose him, so they could only ask in a low voice, "Who does the Regent favor?"
The other eligible princes and their officials all secretly glanced at Chiwen, wondering if he was going to recommend the Ninth Prince.
However, none of them panicked. They knew that the Ninth Prince was far too unreliable, and the Blue Ice incident had offended almost all the important officials. Such a person could not possibly be the Sea King, and they had countless reasons to openly and legitimately reject him.
