Chapter 496 Who will inherit the throne?
Gao Sui was stunned, and then he remembered his current identity.
Seeing the old marquis' extremely surprised expression, Gao Sui opened his mouth and said something that seemed to be incomprehensible: "I... I used to be a... palace maid in the imperial palace. Yes, a palace maid!"
The emperor was slightly stunned.
The emperor didn't understand why Gao Sui pretended to be a woman, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to it now.
The reason why he let Gao Sui leave the palace was to kill two birds with one stone.
First, he was afraid that Gao Sui would harm him after knowing the truth about the regent, so he sent Gao Sui away;
The second is to take advantage of Gao Sui's loyalty to the Regent and use the scam of impersonation to provoke Gao Sui to take action.
But he didn't expect that Gao Sui confirmed that this was the real regent as soon as he arrived in Heihe City, and there was no such thing as a fake.
"Even a dog slave like you wants to betray me?" The emperor looked at Gao Sui with a grim look.
"You dog emperor, what did you say?!" Lao Hou rushed out and stood in front of Gao Sui, "Who is the slave? There are no slaves in Heihe City! Only people like you who look down on others treat others as slaves!"
"It doesn't matter, no matter what he says, I am free now!" Gao Sui looked at the emperor with disgust.
"After coming to Black River City and learning the truth, I realized that everything was just a pretense on your part!"
"I've served you for twenty years, yet I never discovered your true face! You're truly terrifying, wearing a mask all the time! You're not only like a rat in a gutter, but also like a poisonous snake in a cave. You're always hiding so deeply! Whenever I think of you, my hair stands on end!"
"Don't be afraid, my lady! Let the past be the past! You are a good person, and everyone in Heihe City knows it!" Old Hou pulled Gao Sui back.
Gao Sui followed the old marquis with her head down, looking like a young lady who had been wronged outside.
Feeling Lao Hou's big, iron-like hands, Gao Sui sighed in his heart.
Forget it, just keep pretending like this!
Anyway, no one in Heihe City knew that he was a eunuch.
Anyway, the Regent has a family and no longer needs him.
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to all wrong.
Sometimes in life, you just have to make the best of a bad situation!
…
On the city wall, Ye Buwei said slowly, "The emperor is unworthy of his position. In the name of the Regent of Dayu, I depose the current emperor. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone felt that happiness came too suddenly, and everyone shouted loudly: "No objection!"
The emperor laughed heartily, his eyes showing madness.
"I was right. I knew this day would come sooner or later! You all say I'm a hypocrite, but my uncle is the most hypocritical! He clearly wants to be emperor, yet he acts like he has no desires!"
"He supported me to become emperor, just to have a puppet. He wanted to be the real power behind the scenes! Look, after forcing me into a desperate situation, he finally reached out for the throne!"
"So, as a king, I am protecting my throne. What's wrong with killing him?"
"You're wrong." Ye Buwei said calmly, "If I wanted to be the emperor, why would I hide it? The throne has no allure for me. I had no interest in it before, and I still have no interest in it now."
"Then what are you trying to do by taking my throne?" the emperor gritted his teeth. "Who will rule the Xiao family? Your sons grew up in the countryside. Have they ever been educated? Are they fit to be emperor?!"
"Now, who else is more suitable for this position than me? I have been on the throne for nearly thirty years. I am willing to continue to be the emperor! Just be your puppet! Is this not even possible?"
"You shameless thing, you still have the nerve to ask for the throne. Do you think the Xiao family has no one left?!" Wang Changyang whipped him again.
The emperor shouted, "You are truly going too far! The throne originally belonged to my father's lineage, and now the regent wants to usurp the throne and pass it on to his own lineage! Not only do you not stop it, you applaud and cheer! Are you worthy of the late emperor?"
"You say I'm not worthy of being emperor. Fine! I can abdicate! But I want to pass the throne to my descendants!
Wang Changyang put away the whip and said, "I didn't expect you to have the same idea as us!"
"What?" The emperor was stunned. "You mean you are willing to pass the throne to my bloodline?"
"That's what we've always thought! It's you who's been babbling non-stop!" Wu Pinghou said impatiently, "Shut up, or I'll spank you too!"
The emperor's eyes gleamed with hope, "Uncle! I have five sons. Although I haven't appointed a crown prince yet, the eldest prince is a good candidate to be emperor!"
"Who says only men can be emperor?" the Regent said leisurely.
"What do you mean?" The emperor couldn't believe his ears. "Why don't I understand? If the throne isn't passed on to a man, who will it be passed on to? What are you talking about?"
"Your understanding of this matter is unnecessary, and your consent is even less necessary!" Ye Buwei's tone was filled with unquestionable authority. "Everyone, I now declare that the throne of Dayu will be passed to Xiao Jiulin!"
"From now on, Xiao Jiulin is the new empress of Dayu!"
“Hula!”
"OK!"
Warm applause and cheers echoed over Heihe City.
The people of Heihe City jumped for joy. They had been waiting for this day for a long time!
The Regent made the announcement all of a sudden!
Where are the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums?
They were totally unprepared!
The old ministers looked at each other, stunned and speechless!
The regent doesn't want to be the emperor?
The Regent establishes an empress?
In addition to divorcing the husband, Heihe City now also wants to establish a female emperor?
Has there ever been a female emperor in the world?
No!
Are they too old? Why can't they keep up with the pace of Black River City?
"Who is Xiao Jiulin?"
"Which one is Xiao Jiulin? Is he powerful?"
They asked eagerly at the top of their voices.
The noisy crowd was immersed in excitement and no one paid any attention to them.
…
The emperor looked like he was struck by lightning, and looked angrily at Xiao Jiuer, who had a silly face and wide eyes.
Xiao Jiulin, it can only be her!
This evil creature is indeed a disaster sent by God to deal with him!
Without her, he would never be so miserable!
"Little evil creature, what makes you think you can be the emperor?"
"Why didn't I strangle you to death? Why wasn't I ruthless enough? You deserve to die!"
The emperor suddenly pulled out a dagger from his boots and rushed towards Xiao Jiuer.
"You're looking for death!" Wu Pinghou kicked him to the ground. "Do you think we're dead? I knew a villain like you would use dirty tricks!"
"This bastard actually wants to hurt our empress!" The people of Heihe City rushed forward and beat and kicked the emperor.
Little Jiuer looked at the noisy crowd with her mouth open, scratched her bangs and asked belatedly:
"Who the hell is Xiao Jiulin?!"
"It can't be me?"
