Afterwards, the candidates and the host will be teleported to the Taimiao together. The host will sprinkle holy water on their eyebrows and let them undergo the examination of dragon energy. If someone is selected, a small golden dragon will enter their body from the holy water on their eyebrows. This is the dragon energy entering the body, indicating that this person is the one destined by heaven.
If one wants to change the result of the Emperor's Choice by human power, they can only tamper with the holy water or the formation. Of course, this tampering is only a possibility. Since the founding of the Beijiang Kingdom, no one has ever heard of anyone tampering with the Emperor's Choice.
The Great Wizard had previously promised Lin Jinghan that he would be impartial when presiding over the Emperor's selection, and he really did not tamper with the formation.
The eldest prince stared at the holy water in the queen's hand. Seeing the queen walking towards him with the holy water, he thought that she wanted to give him some holy water first.
"The royal brother is still young. As the elder brother, I should naturally give way to him. Mother, please light the holy water for him first." The eldest prince said respectfully, and then stared at the holy water in the queen's hand to make sure she could not play tricks.
The Queen didn't bother with her at all. She actually applied holy water to Tan Tai Yu first, and then to the eldest prince Tan Tai Ming. The moment her finger brushed across Tan Tai Ming's eyebrows, a smile appeared on the corner of the Queen's mouth.
The eldest prince thought he was smart, but he didn't expect that his behavior had been predicted by Lin Jinghan. This was exactly the result the queen wanted. The eldest prince's behavior was called - too clever by half.
A beam of green light flashed, enveloping the two princes. Finally, as expected, a trace of dragon energy appeared above the jade eyebrows of Crown Prince Tan Tai.
"No, this is impossible!" The eldest prince could not accept such a result and pointed at the queen angrily.
"It was you! You did it! You're not from Beijiang at all. How could your son be chosen by the dragon energy of Beijiang? I am the one who should inherit the throne!"
The queen ignored the eldest prince, and with the attitude of a victor, she took Tan Taiyu's hand and walked towards the teleportation array - she finally completed her mission and made the child with her blood become the emperor of Beijiang. The next step was to carefully plan for her own freedom.
While there is no one else here, kill Tan Tai Yu and take back his dragon energy! A crazy idea grew in his heart. Tan Tai Ming jumped off the altar and launched an attack on Tan Tai Yu!
Before marrying into the Beijiang royal family, Rongyue was a master as famous as Xiang Yuanqing and Guchuan. Even though she had less time to practice martial arts during these years in the royal family, wasn't she more than capable of dealing with Tan Taiming, who was obsessed with power and intrigue?
Bang!
Tan Taiming was knocked flying, hit the altar, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood flowed down the altar into the formation, and a dazzling green light suddenly appeared on the altar.
Gradually, the green light dissipated, and the shadow of a green dragon appeared on the altar.
"Who will awaken me with blood?"
The eldest prince was startled by this sudden change, but he quickly reacted. He endured the pain in his body and stood up firmly. He bowed deeply to Long Ying and pointed at his forehead and said:
"I am the eldest prince of Beijiang. Today, I have come with my younger brother to participate in the Emperor's Heavenly Selection. Someone has tampered with the holy water of the Emperor's Heavenly Selection and interfered with the outcome. Please help me!"
Long Ying exhaled a breath of dragon's breath towards the eldest prince, then glanced at Tan Taiyu. "The result of the Emperor's selection has been announced. No one is allowed to object. Please leave immediately and do not disturb me!"
As soon as the words fell, the dragon shadow disappeared.
"What do you mean? Ah!" The eldest prince was unwilling to lose the opportunity to obtain dragon energy that he had been waiting for so hard, and he roared heartbreakingly.
Rong Yue didn't even give Tan Tai Ming a spare glance. She covered Tan Tai Yu's ears, stood on the teleportation array, and left the Tai Temple.
"The result of the emperor's choice has been announced. God has chosen Crown Prince Tan Tai Yu as the new emperor." The queen announced the result in a domineering manner. Dragon energy lingered between Tan Tai Yu's eyebrows, and he looked extremely sacred.
Seeing this, all the officials came to pay their respects.
"Welcome the new emperor!"
"Ah! She cheated. The dragon couldn't possibly choose that child!" The eldest prince also teleported out, looking frantic.
"The Queen openly tampered with the holy water, deceived the Dragon God, and tampered with the results of the Emperor's selection! Everyone, follow my command, and capture that witch!"
The eldest prince's party all looked hesitant. Regardless of whether the queen had really done anything, the fact that the dragon energy chose Tan Tai Yu was an established fact. Since the founding of Beijiang, no one had ever dared to question the result of the emperor's choice.
"Hahaha, do you think you will have a good time after Tan Taiyu ascends the throne? How did you treat the queen before? You don't really think she will let bygones be bygones? Haha! Naive!" The eldest prince has completely given up.
"Capture the Queen and the Crown Prince, and you will be the founding heroes of the nation! Death or glory and wealth? It's your choice."
Eighty percent of the ministers here were already attached to him, and all the guards were his men. Since they had already chosen him, Tan Taiming, and were already on his ship, they still wanted to change boats midway? Dream on!
So many people have already attached themselves to the eldest prince. If they really want to rebel, the queen will be powerless to do anything on her own. Therefore, she cannot let them rebel. She must give them a reassurance that they will not rebel against her.
"The Crown Prince's ascension is in accordance with the will of Heaven. Moreover, the Emperor has chosen the Crown Prince, so he is the true Son of Heaven. As long as you support the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, I promise that the Crown Prince and I will forgive the past, and you will still be my loyal ministers to Beijiang!"
Everyone, especially the eldest prince's party, was in a state of confusion. They didn't know what the consequences would be if they defied the emperor's will. Moreover, the queen had already promised not to pursue them. Was there really any point in them rebelling now?
However, after their previous treatment of the Queen and the Crown Prince, could the Queen really hold no grudges? Once the Crown Prince secures his throne, there's no guarantee he won't come after them!
It seemed like no matter how they were chosen, they would be taking a huge risk. Blame it on the eldest prince; why wasn't he so lucky as to be recognized by the Emperor's chosen one?
But there are also some who are determined to support the eldest prince, such as his mother's family.
"The Queen has tampered with the result of the Emperor's choice and deceived the world. She will surely anger the Dragon God and everyone will be able to kill her." They gave an excuse to take action, and then they attacked the Queen and the Prince.
The Queen lifted the Prince high up in her arms, calmly and majestically.
"The Emperor's Chosen One represents the will of the Dragon God. No one can tamper with the result! You who disregard the will of Heaven will surely suffer Heaven's punishment! Whoever takes their heads will be promoted to a higher position, and their wives and children will be blessed with titles!"
As the saying goes, a great reward always brings out brave men. Many people were tempted and raised their weapons to fight against the eldest prince's men, "We swear to protect the queen and the new emperor to the death!"
In front of the Taimiao, there were flashes of swords and the flashing of sabers, and civil and military officials were in chaos.
The eldest prince has gone mad, and only the queen remains calm as she holds the prince in her arms, looking down at everything coldly.
