Chapter 443 Chao Chao's Promise
The empress is three and a half years old.
It's ridiculous.
Since the founding of the Southern Kingdom, there has never been such a young emperor.
"At the age of three and a half, can she shock the court officials and the surrounding countries?" As soon as the imperial edict of succession came out, the first reaction of the court officials was to question.
Lu Chaochao was born and raised in Beizhao, and she was also Princess Zhaoyang of Emperor Xuanping!
Her butt is always facing Bei Zhao!
"What do the gods' servant families think?" The court officials looked at the adults.
The adults looked calm and composed, with even a hint of smile on their faces.
"Announce the decree of succession to the throne to the world, and invite the monarchs of all countries to attend the coronation ceremony of the new emperor." The old emperor fell sickly on the bed.
He still held on to his breath and gave Lu Chaochao some instructions.
"In the mortal world, there are five great nations."
"Southern Kingdom, Northern Zhao, Eastern Ling, Western Yue, and Brahma. The Southern Kingdom has divine servants, so the Southern Kingdom is the leader."
"Now, I... ahem, if I die, you're only three and a half years old, I'm afraid you won't be able to scare them."
"Besides..."
"The barrier between the mortal world and the spirit world is in the southern sea. You need to pay more attention..."
"In the spirit world, there are demons, monsters, and monks, and mortals are like ants, with no ability to protect themselves in front of them."
"If the barrier is opened, the mortal world will be flooded with blood."
"Be sure to check the barrier at all times."
After the old emperor said this, he was already out of breath, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were wide open, and he was breathing with difficulty.
The new emperor is only three and a half years old. How can he make all the countries submit and how can he ensure peace in the mortal world?
Although Lu Chaochao did not want to take over the Southern Kingdom, she did not recognize this cheap royal grandfather.
But she has great love in her heart.
She attaches great importance to the people.
"I never make any promises, because once I make a promise, I will risk my life to fulfill it."
"Today, I promise you."
"As long as I am here, I will never let mortals be corrupted by demons." This promise was not made to the old emperor. It is for millions of ordinary people!
The old emperor wanted to raise his hand to touch her head, but he had no strength left.
"Grandfather... Grandfather feels bad for you... I feel bad for your mother, your grandmother..."
He looked at Xu Shiyun slowly.
"Yun... Yun'er..."
"Yun'er..." He called Xu Shiyun's name in a low voice.
Throughout his life, all the women he married into the harem were for the purpose of consolidating his rule.
The only person I truly loved was Ning'er.
I had been looking forward to the birth of this child and even fantasized about my future with them.
But he was unwilling to give up his kingdom and his grand plans! He stared at her intently, his voice becoming more and more urgent, but he had no time.
He had never even heard his daughter call him father.
He looked at her expectantly.
Xu Shiyun turned her head indifferently.
Perhaps, he would be a competent emperor, perhaps a wise ruler. But he is not a competent husband and father.
His mother saved his life, but because of him, the entire village was destroyed.
Because of him, mother and daughter were separated.
She did not forgive.
Her forgiveness is like a sharp knife stabbing her mother, like a stab in the back of her suffering mother!
"Ning'er..." he murmured in a low voice.
His breathing became weaker and weaker, and the light in the old emperor's eyes gradually faded.
Life is cut off.
The princes and princesses behind him knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, you have passed away!"
"Your Majesty, He has passed away!"
"Your Majesty, He has passed away!"
Voices were heard one after another, and all the court officials prostrated themselves on the ground with tears in their eyes.
The death knell rang in the city of Nandu.
People stopped one after another.
"One, two, three...six, seven!" The people showed fear and sorrow.
"Seven sounds, the number of times the king will die!"
On the streets of Nandu, countless people knelt quietly on the long street to bid farewell to the emperor.
When the old emperor was old, he was obsessed with power and the art of immortality, and did many foolish things. But when he was young, he was frugal, loved the people, and worked hard to govern the country.
Now that he has passed away, all his merits and demerits will be judged by future generations.
Cold Palace.
The abandoned queen was combing her white hair with a broken comb when she heard the death knell ringing again and again in the palace.
"One, two..." As he counted, the voice paused.
"Seven sounds!" The wooden comb in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
She sat in front of the wooden table in a daze, crying and laughing: "Your Majesty, is he dead? Is your Majesty dead?"
The little palace maid who hurried in knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, you have passed away!"
The queen stood up frantically and said, "Hahaha, in order to achieve immortality and to survive, he deposed the queen and married another one."
"Why did he die anyway?"
The little palace maid pursed her lips, with a hint of hesitation in her expression.
"When the queen was appointed, the Elf King who was away experiencing disasters suddenly appeared and stopped the marriage!"
The abandoned queen was slightly stunned: "Elf King?"
The palace maid lowered her head and said, "Yes, it is said that she was raised in the mortal world from birth to experience hardships. On the day she was made queen, she showed her true form, holding the scepter in her hand!"
The deposed queen couldn't help but sneer: "It must be extremely glorious."
"Your Majesty, you have no intention? Is there any woman in this southern country that he cannot get?"
The palace maid shrank back.
He stammered and said, "The Elf King is your Majesty's ex-wife who just destroyed the marriage certificate."
The deposed queen suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her.
"You said, the Elf King is from the Ning family? It's the Ning family!! Hahahahaha, it's the Ning family!!"
"Retribution, it's all retribution."
"Where is the new emperor? His Majesty has passed away. Who will be the new emperor? Is it the third prince? No, the third prince is a coward by nature."
"Is that the Seventh Princess? The Seventh Princess is quite intelligent. But unfortunately she has no divine power..." She stared at the maid with burning eyes, and the madness in her eyes was frightening.
There was no charcoal in the cold palace, and it was extremely cold in the winter. The young palace maids were all scared and broke out in cold sweats.
“Neither…neither.”
"Who is that?" The deposed queen, with her hair loose, thought hard but could not think of the best candidate.
"It's Princess Zhaoyang."
"Princess Zhaoyang possesses divine power, and the national spirit recognizes her as its master...it is said that she opened the dragon-patterned jade!" As soon as these words came out, the deposed queen's face changed drastically.
"Impossible! Lu Chaochao is only three and a half years old, how can she be the new emperor?"
"A three and a half year old empress, ridiculous!!"
"Ning, I lost to the Ning! Hahaha, I actually lost to the Ning. I lost everything!"
"After all the defense, I lost to the descendants of the Ning family!"
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it, hehehe... My Fengyu is the daughter that His Majesty values the most. Yi'er is the reincarnation of a goddess... Hehe, I am the Queen Mother..."
"I am the Queen Mother... why don't you kneel down quickly and pay your respects to the Queen Mother!" Her last string broke on the spot.
The whole person was laughing wildly and talking to himself in the cold palace.
The little palace maid sat on the ground and cried bitterly.
…………
"The imperial edict of succession should be sent to all countries as soon as possible, inviting the monarchs of all countries to watch the coronation ceremony of the new emperor together."
The sound of funeral bells spread throughout the southern capital. Madam Ning stood in front of the window, listening to the bells intently, and remained silent for a long time.
Biyue and Linglong are a pair of twin elves, and at this moment they are both kneeling behind her.
"King, you have finally returned from your ordeal."
"The elves are peace-loving and have lived in seclusion for generations, not competing with the world. But they still cannot escape the greed and killing of the outside world..." Bi Yue's eyes were red and her voice was trembling.
"Over the years, the elves have been hunted down and trafficked like commodities."
“They were even sent to various circles as playthings…” Bi Yue gritted her teeth.
"Send it to the demon world, send it to the devil world, send it to... the god world!"
"We ask the king to seek justice for our people! The elves have never made enemies with anyone, but now they are facing the disaster of genocide!"
Madam Ning sighed softly, restrained her breath, slowly walked out the door and said, "Give me a day."
