Seeing this scene, all the onlookers and people in the martial arts world showed expressions of disbelief.
"No, no way?"
"The Lotus Goddess was killed so easily?"
"She's dead! She's really dead!"
"This can't be true, it can't be true."
"You died just like that? Didn't I have to fight you for three hundred rounds?"
Everyone felt very disappointed.
Suddenly someone noticed that there was a fire on the cliff halfway up the mountain.
"Look! There's a group of houses over there!"
"Could this be the lair of the Lotus Cult?"
"In the past, ordinary people were not allowed to approach that place, and it was guarded. I didn't know whose house it was. But it caught fire today. Does it really look like the Lotus Cult's lair?"
"I heard there was a crackdown there last year, didn't they?"
"The Lotus Goddess has returned, so there are traces of people again."
"Is this Lotus Goddess stupid? How dare she set foot in such an ominous place again? She's just waiting to be annihilated!"
The news that the Lotus Goddess was executed on Mount Qi soon spread back to Jinling.
The entire Jinling was suddenly bustling with people filling the streets.
Just like the New Year, everyone was excited and celebrating this happy event with the sound of gongs and drums.
When the prince found out, he felt a little disappointed.
But she followed me for five years...
He also devoted his heart and a lot of financial resources to him, and even the power of the Lotus Sect was almost used for his own benefit.
Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?
What's more, he knew she was different since she was a child.
I was also a little complacent about having such a special woman.
He had even imagined the ideal country she wanted.
only……
It's incredible.
No one in this world would allow such an idea to actually emerge and rule this continent.
Those aristocratic families.
Those noble families.
Those hidden schools of great scholars that have been rooted in this continent for hundreds of years.
If their fundamental interests are touched, not to mention the ideal country, even the entire Daliang Dynasty can be easily replaced by them.
They are the foundation of the entire beam.
Although their Duan family is the helmsman of Daliang, without these foundations, their Duan family will be nothing.
Therefore, Duan Rongyin never really thought about whether there really was an ideal country.
She, Zong Zheng Yu'er, has always been just a chess piece on his chessboard.
If she is obedient, he can hold her in his hands and protect her forever.
If you don't listen, you will be just a grain of sand even if you are crushed.
Soon, Crown Prince Duan Rongyin was quickly overwhelmed by the tide of joy and flattery.
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness, on your outstanding military achievements for Daliang."
"Yes, Your Highness. The Lotus Cult has finally been completely eradicated from Daliang. Even the Lotus Demon Girl has been eradicated by Your Highness. It is Your Highness who has finally restored peace and prosperity to Daliang."
"The people are now singing praises to Your Highness in the streets, saying that Your Highness is a wise and brave prince who cares about the world and loves the people like his own children."
"Yes. How long has His Highness been back in the East Palace? And he's already eliminated a serious threat like the Lotus Cult!"
"He is truly a pillar of the nation, a role model for a crown prince, and a wise ruler admired by the people!"
The prince's trusted ministers all knelt on the ground and sang loudly in the East Palace without any concealment.
Soon, the news here reached the Zichen Palace.
Emperor Yan was sitting cross-legged on the dragon throne, meditating and practicing martial arts.
There is a large tripod in the hall.
Inside the cauldron is the elixir refined by the national teacher, Immortal Yunhe.
So at this moment the entire Zichen Hall was filled with smoke and the aroma of medicinal herbs.
After hearing the eunuch's trembling words, Emperor Yan slightly narrowed one eye.
"You mean, the Crown Prince secretly sent troops to Qishan to wipe out the Lotus Sect and even killed the leader of the Lotus Sect?"
The young eunuch said, "Yes... yes, Your Majesty. Half of the court officials are now in the Eastern Palace, congratulating the Crown Prince on this."
"And everyone in the community is spreading the rumor..."
Emperor Yan: "What are you spreading? Tell me!"
The young eunuch wiped his sweat and said, "People are praising His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a future wise ruler. They say he is so wise and brave, and has the world at heart. When he inherits the throne, he will surely restore the peace and prosperity of our Daliang as it was during the time of Emperor Gaozu."
Emperor Yan frowned tightly: "A peaceful and prosperous era?"
"Could it be that the Liang Dynasty that I lead is in a state of chaos?!"
"And he's already thinking about inheriting the throne before I even die!?"
"I asked him to be regent, and yet he dared to steal the military token and send troops out without even asking for permission!"
"He is truly my good prince!"
He was angry, his eyes wide open.
The Immortal Yunhe, who was sitting below, finally opened his eyes and advised, "Your Majesty, we Taoists believe in following your heart. If you hold onto your anger, it will be a significant hindrance to your cultivation."
"Although all worldly fame, wealth, and honor can be cast aside, Your Majesty is the supreme ruler and must inevitably consider the country and the well-being of the people."
"Therefore, Your Highness, please be patient and discipline yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you must overcome it as soon as possible before continuing your cultivation."
"Thousands of years await Your Majesty. By then, not only will we have a peaceful and prosperous era, but even the unification of the entire continent will be just around the corner."
Emperor Yan then took a few deep breaths and nodded slightly: "I understand your advice."
"Let's stop here for today. Thank you for your hard work in meditating with me, Imperial Master. You can go back and rest."
