Chapter 561 Consort Liu's Adultery
In order to prevent the enemy from running rampant, to dishearten the loyal ministers, and to protect his family from harm, Zhao Junyue decided that he would take the throne!
The moment Zhao Junyue made up his mind, the imperial star in the sky shone with a dazzling light.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, Ningbao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow...................
At this moment, Zhou Chengxing and his men were fighting hard at the palace gate, and the Second Prince had already returned to the Emperor's bedroom.
Just then, Liu Xuenian appeared at the entrance of the Emperor's palace with a group of people.
Zhao Junyue was also taken aback when he saw Liu Xuenian...
"Hahahaha!" Liu Xuenian burst into laughter upon seeing Zhao Junyue's sinister expression.
"Zhao Junyue, you didn't expect this, did you?"
I dug a tunnel from this palace to the outside. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. It's time for the Liu family to inherit the throne of the Dragon Yuan Kingdom...................
The most shocked by Liu Xuenian's words was undoubtedly the Third Prince, who stared at Liu Xuenian in disbelief.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
What do you mean by saying the throne belongs to your Liu family?
"Haven't you always said the throne is mine? Is it enough for your Liu family to just produce an empress?"
Liu Xuenian shook his head at the Third Prince.
"I'm sorry, my dear nephew, I'm going to take the throne myself."
What glory is there in having an empress from the Liu family compared to the throne?
"We didn't have the chance before, so let's not talk about that. But now that we have the opportunity, who wouldn't want to give it a shot?"
After Liu Xuenian finished speaking, he walked directly to a group of court officials without waiting for anyone's reaction.
"We've been colleagues for years. Some of you have been friends with me, Liu, while others are my mortal enemies. Of course, there are also those who dislike me and don't want to talk to me..."
Regardless of how we got along in the past, that's all in the past.
Now I want to say that I, Liu Xuenian, am going to fight for the throne today. From now on, the Longyuan Kingdom will belong to my Liu family.
If you are willing to follow my Liu family, then all our past issues will be wiped clean.
From this day forward, we are ruler and subject.
I am the ruler, and you are the subjects. As long as you are loyal to me, your ruler, I will love you, my subjects…”
After Liu Xuenian finished speaking, all the court officials fell silent. Among them were loyal ministers as well as opportunists.
Behind these people are large families, even extended clans, involving not just one person or one family, but potentially hundreds of people from an entire clan...
Therefore, this choice is extremely important; one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
Liu Xuenian understood these principles, the Third Prince understood them, and the Second Prince also understood them.
The second prince didn't want to see the adults in a difficult position, nor did he want to see Liu Xuenian continue to be so arrogant, so he took a step forward and looked directly at him.
"Liu Xuenian has quite the ambition, doesn't he?"
It's normal for you to want to be the emperor, after all, you have great ambitions, but whether you're destined to be one is another matter.
Since you want to be the emperor and I've decided to take on this role, let's just get straight to the point and stop wasting time...
After Zhao Junyue finished speaking, he immediately swung his sword at Liu Xuenian, and all of Zhao Junyue's bodyguards and guards joined the battle. Even the Tiger Guards who had just pledged allegiance to him were no exception.
At Zhao Junyue's command, the guards allowed the civil officials to enter the emperor's bedchamber directly. Two of the most skilled Tiger Guards stood guard at the entrance of the bedchamber, creating an imposing atmosphere of "one man can hold off ten thousand."
