Chapter 429 The Princess from the Cold Palace Who Was Sent to the Throne (40)
Chi Yunjian secretly curled his lips and endured it.
He endured it.
Everything is for the little princess, so the little princess must give him some rewards.
Thinking of this, Chi Yunjian's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly, and a light flashed in his deep eyes. It was a smile that concealed excitement and anticipation.
He Liming, who was standing by, naturally saw Chi Yunjian's expression clearly.
His mind was as clear as a mirror, so how could he not know what strange thoughts the lion was thinking in his mind at this moment?
He snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for Chi Yunjian without any concealment.
wishful thinking.
If it weren't for Awu...
He Liming also believed that he would always occupy the most important position in Awu's heart.
As long as he could do this, he felt that he could endure everything no matter what he faced.
Creaky—the palace gate slowly opened, and the scent of sandalwood mixed with morning mist blew in my face.
Qing Wu climbed up the 360 white marble steps. The hem of her dragon robe trailed ten feet of bright yellow, and the golden dragon embroidered with gold thread seemed to be about to break through the fabric and soar under the dome of the Golden Throne Hall.
All the ministers were so shocked by this scene that they held their breath.
I haven't seen this new king for many years. How come he is so beautiful and transcendent?
It even makes them afraid to look any further.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!" Amidst the thunderous cheers of worship, Qing Wu finally ascended the nine-dragon golden lacquer throne and sat down steadily.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes looking down at the ministers crawling on the ground below the stairs. The crown tassels swayed gently, just covering the dark tide surging in her eyes.
At this moment, she was no longer the puppet who was manipulated by others, nor was she the princess in the cold palace who was ignored by everyone, but the emperor who truly held the power of life and death.
He is about to write his own legendary chapter in this solemn and dignified court.
Behind her, He Liming followed closely.
They stood together under the gilded coiled dragon pillar. He Liming stood on the left side of the imperial steps with his hands hanging down, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and the python pattern on his Feiyu suit rose and fell slightly with his breathing.
On the other side, Chi Yunjian strode across the line of generals, like a lion, and walked straight to the front.
The black armor on his body shone with a cold iron-like light in the morning light, like a silent deterrent to all the civil and military officials in the court.
When the crimson official robe swept across the white marble steps like a wisp of flowing cloud, the air seemed to freeze in an instant.
Wen Xingzhi's wide sleeves fluttered lightly, his steps were graceful and steady, and his elegant face still had his usual smile.
Only the dark light in his eyes quietly revealed the sharp edge that had been dormant for many days.
He slowly walked to the foot of the Danchi. The long trail left by his scarlet robe was like a bloody line that cut through the court, clearly separating the camps of civil officials and military generals.
At this moment, Wen Xingzhi seemed to have regained all his peace.
Beneath his elegant appearance, he was as calm and composed as usual, like a bottomless lake, making it impossible to glimpse into his true thoughts.
It really is worthy of being called Wen Xingzhi.
Facing their aggressive attitude, he was able to remain so calm.
To be fair, Chi Yunjian couldn't do that.
However, Chi Yunjian did not feel pity or sympathy for Wen Xingzhi because of this. On the contrary, he was more happy to see Wen Xingzhi become helpless in this situation.
In this competition, one less opponent is one.
Unlike Chi Yunjian, He Liming, who was standing aside, frowned at Wen Xingzhi's appearance at the moment.
Wen Xingzhi's confident attitude really makes people wonder whether he has already prepared a response plan?
Even though Chi Yunjian and himself had taken layers of precautions and were well prepared today, Wen Xingzhi was definitely not an opponent to be underestimated.
In any case, let’s go to court first.
As the first eunuch, He Liming naturally shoulders the responsibility of presiding over the overall situation.
He shouted loudly: "If there is something, please play it——"
But the moment he announced that he would go to court, the entire court fell silent, with only the sound of light breathing echoing in the air.
And in this silence, the Prime Minister, the chief among all civil officials, suddenly took a step forward.
The crimson official robe drew a long trail in the air.
"I have something important to explain to the ministers, Your Majesty."
All the ministers held their breath and focused their eyes on him.
Wen Xingzhi walked slowly to the center of the Danchi, and every step seemed to step on the heartstrings of everyone.
The civil officials behind him were lined up in an orderly formation like geese, their crimson and purple official robes stacked one upon another. From a distance, it looked like a splendid road paved for him.
He Liming's heart skipped a beat, and Chi Yunjian did not hide his emotions at all. His murderous gaze shot straight at Wen Xingzhi like a sharp arrow.
Wen Xingzhi pretended not to hear anything. His gaze passed Chi Yunjian and fell directly on Qingwu who was sitting on the throne.
Qingwu sat there quietly, her beauty was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, soft and warm.
Wen Xingzhi's gaze stayed on her for a moment, then slowly moved away and began to narrate the various deeds of the Da Ning Dynasty.
From our ancestors to the late emperor, the Daning Dynasty went from prosperity to decline.
When it came to the previous emperor, it was even more absurd.
"Emperor Taizong expanded the territory by thousands of miles, Emperor Gaozong cultivated culture and laid aside military power," his voice suddenly dropped, his eyes sweeping across the mottled palace pillars, "but when it came to the previous emperor..."
The sigh at the end of the words startled the birds on the beams and made them fly away in panic.
"Bang!" Chi Yunjian's black armor hit the pillar hard, making a dull loud noise, and the wolf-head wrist guard rubbed against the pillar, producing sparks.
His eyes widened: "If you have something to say, just say it."
The Cloud-Breaking Sword at his waist swayed slightly as he moved, casting a ferocious shadow on the blue bricks.
Wen Xingzhi, however, seemed oblivious to Chi Yunjian's roar. He suddenly turned around, facing the throne, and bowed deeply, his crimson robes spreading out like a blooming peony. "Fortunately, the late emperor left behind a little princess, so our Daning Dynasty is not without a successor."
Wen Xingzhi's voice echoed in the silent hall, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.
The hall suddenly exploded with all kinds of sounds intertwined.
The court beads of the white-haired old ministers clashed with each other, making a crisp sound;
The young officials gasped, their faces filled with astonishment;
The armor of the military officers also made slight noises due to the vibrations of their bodies.
These sounds mixed with the scent of submerged incense wafting from the incense burner, stirring into a ball under the dome.
