Yue Changkong had inherited the throne for over a hundred years and had long since tempered the bearing of a paragon of an empire. Usually, she was graceful, elegant, and extremely charming.
But when he realized that his life was in danger, Yue Changkong no longer had the bearing of a monarch. When he questioned in a loud voice, there was a hint of exasperation in his voice.
Yue Guanshan sighed to himself. No matter what kind of hero or emperor they were, they couldn't help but reveal their weak side in the face of death. In addition, Yue Changkong's personality was sinister and unkind. He was not a hero to begin with.
"Your Majesty, Celestial Master Zhang Jiuhe has just taken a look at you. You were injured by the Netherworld Shadow Dragon Sword, and there is no way to treat it. According to Celestial Master Zhang's judgment, you still have a month's time. "
Not waiting for Yue Guanshan to finish speaking, Yue Changkong abruptly sat up and shouted, "Impossible, impossible! Zhang Jiuhe is from the Dao Sect, how can we believe his one-sided words? "
Yue Guanshan did not refute and continued to say calmly, "Your Majesty, to prevent any accidents, please appoint a crown prince."
Yue Changkong ruthlessly stared at Yue Tianxin, Yue Tianyi and his other children. He coldly laughed, "This emperor hasn't died yet and you guys already want to seize the throne?"
The royal children were all badly frightened by Yue Changkong's malevolent appearance. All of them hurriedly bowed their heads and said that they didn't dare to do so.
Only Yue Qingxue and Yue Qingyu did not move. Although Yue Qingxue hated Yue Changkong for being so ruthless and sinister, she couldn't help but feel some pity in her heart when she saw him in such a miserable state.
No matter what, Yue Changkong could be considered to have many methods and schemes. He was a paragon of an empire. To be reduced to such a state was even more embarrassing than death.
Yue Qingyu also had a look of disappointment on her face. Her feelings for Yue Changkong were very complicated but his performance was weak and useless. This caused her to look down on him.
Yue Changkong was currently in the most sensitive state. The moment he spoke, he also discovered that he had lost his composure. When he saw the strange expressions on Yue Qingxue and her sister's faces, his mood grew even worse.
With a gloomy expression, he questioned, "Qingxue, what are you trying to do by standing here? Do you want to seize the throne as well?"
The Grand Tutor Yue Guanshan's face darkened as well. Although Yue Qingxue could not inherit the throne, her identity was important and she had Gao Zhengyang's support. He was the indispensable Guardian Sword Master of the Moon Nation. He left Yue Qingxue and her sister behind so that they could witness the succession of the throne.
Being afraid of death was pardonable, but the Emperor's mouth was full of nonsense. The Emperor was important, but not as important as the Yue Clan's inheritance. Since they couldn't protect the Emperor, they could only try their best to smooth the transition and pass the throne as soon as possible. To prevent internal and external suspicions from arising and causing trouble.
Yue Guanshan was about to explain when he heard Yue Qingxue's cold voice: "That's right, I want the throne."
A single sentence caused Yue Changkong to be stunned. Even the scheming Yue Guanshan was stunned. Both of them knew Yue Qingxue's temperament. She was proud, but she didn't like to fight for anything. She was probably the only one in the Yue family who had no interest in the throne.
Yue Changkong was only cursing randomly to vent his anger. He didn't expect that Yue Qingxue would actually admit to it.
As for the Empress, Yue Tianxin, Yue Tianyi and the others, they all had looks of realization on their faces. They had always felt that Yue Qingxue was sinister. And as expected, she had revealed her true colors now.
In the bedroom of the Yangxin Palace, an awkward silence descended.
Yue Qingxue's expression was calm, there was no sadness or joy on her face. It was like the words she said earlier about wanting to seize the throne weren't spoken by her. A complacent smile appeared on Yue Qingyu's face. She felt that her elder sister was intentionally angering Yue Changkong.
In the end, it was Yue Guanshan who broke the silence. He spoke in a tolerant tone, "Qingxue, don't say things out of anger now. The lives and deaths of billions of people in the Moon Country are in our hands … "
"I'm not saying things out of anger."
Yue Qingxue bluntly interrupted Yue Guanshan. "This throne is mine for sure."
As the sound of her voice faded, both Yue Guanshan and Yue Changkong's expressions changed. The experts at the peak of the Moon Country were both enraged. They felt that their dignity was being challenged.
If Gao Zhengyang was here, they might have some trepidation and wouldn't dare to act out. But just based on the strength of Yue Qingxue and her sister, wanting to seize the throne? Wasn't this looking down on them a little too much?
"Qingxue, this matter concerns the lives of billions of people, the bloodline of the Yue Clan, as well as the ten thousand years of glory. Don't be impulsive."
Yue Guanshan thought of Gao Zhengyang and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He then had an amiable expression on his face as he reminded Yue Qingxue that this wasn't a place for her to vent her impulsiveness. If the emperor couldn't do it, it was even more so for her.
The Empress involuntarily laughed. When Yue Qingxue said that she wanted to become the emperor, she was given a fright. However, Yue Guanshan and Yue Changkong's attitude was very clear and firm. They would never allow Yue Qingxue to inherit the throne.
"There's an order of seniority. Qingxue, you are just a junior, you should just listen to the matters of the country. How can there be a reason for you to butt in? “
The Empress put on airs and impolitely reprimanded Yue Qingxue. Since she was the mistress of the harem, as well as Yue Qingxue's mother, she naturally had the qualifications to say such words.
She only thought that the Empress feared Gao Zhengyang and didn't dare to antagonize Yue Qingxue. But today, this matter concerned the throne. She could no longer sit idly by. Seeing the cold attitude of Yue Changkong and Yue Guanshan, she hurriedly stepped on Yue Qingxue.
This time around, if she didn't crush Yue Qingxue's delusion, things would be troublesome when Gao Zhengyang arrived!
Yue Qingxue who was reprimanded didn't get angry. She stared at the Empress and spoke, "You stepped on my mother's corpse to ascend the throne, yet you still have the face to bare your fangs and brandish your claws in front of me? Who gave you the guts to do this?"
The Empress' face turned ashen from anger. Yue Ziye's death had nothing to do with her. Yue Ziying was the one who was pushed away by her. However, she didn't wish to explain. Yue Qingxue's arrogant and rude words had deeply provoked her.
"Impudent!" The Empress lifted her finger and pointed at Yue Qingxue. Just when she was about to scold her, she saw Yue Qingxue's eyes flashing with a cold might. The Empress was so frightened that she couldn't speak anymore.
Yue Changkong, who was sitting on the bed, had a look of anger on his face. "Yue Qingxue, what do you want?"
Yue Qingxue actually unleashed a sharp sword intent to scare the Empress. This was something Yue Changkong absolutely couldn't accept. He wasn't dead yet. Madam Yue Qingxue was simply too arrogant!
"Heh …"
Yue Qingxue smiled. Her smile wasn't as cold as before, it was filled with arrogance instead. "Nothing much, I just want to seek justice for my mother first."
Yue Guanshan was shocked. He hurriedly spoke in a low voice, "If you act here, I definitely won't sit idly by."
"So what?" Yue Qingxue didn't care about Yue Guanshan's warning. She commanded in a low voice, "Xin Yue."
Xin Yue, who was wearing a phoenix crown and purple robes, stepped out from the air. Her jade-like fingers stretched out and tapped the plum blossom imprint on the Empress' forehead.
A saint-ranked sword intent that reigned supreme over all mortal energy. Yue Guanshan, Yue Changkong and the others could only watch on helplessly. They were basically powerless to stop it.
A saint-ranked sword qi slashed down and the Empress' consciousness was severed. Her divine soul transformed into an origin imprint that had no consciousness and sank into the depths of her boundless consciousness.
The Empress didn't even have time to react. She lost all consciousness and fell backwards.
Yue Tianxin, who was standing at the back, reacted the fastest. He took the initiative to hug the Empress. He noticed that the spiritual light in the Empress' eyes had dissipated, turning completely gray. Although she was still breathing, she was no different from a dead person.
Yue Tianxin was horrified. Had Yue Qingxue gone mad? She actually killed the Empress in front of the Empress! Not only that, she even called an outsider over for help. He originally wanted to say something, but Yue Qingxue's abnormal behavior caused him to not dare to say a single word.
The other party even dared to act against the Empress. Killing him was as easy as raising a hand.
Yue Tianyi and Yue Qingyun were also stunned by Xin Yue's saint-ranked sword intent.
Among the people present, only Yue Guanshan and Yue Changkong could barely maintain their consciousness. However, the two of them were also stunned by Xin Yue's saint-ranked sword intent.
Within the Moon God Capital, the Royal Heavenly Six Paths Reincarnation Sword possessed supreme might. Any saint-ranked experts would be suppressed in the Moon God Capital. The restrictions in the royal palace were even stricter. All external powers were restricted to heaven-ranked and below.
This woman who suddenly appeared was actually able to openly use saint-ranked energy in the royal palace. She was even more terrifying than Gao Zhengyang.
After Yue Changkong panted and forcefully calmed down, he carefully surveyed the other party. His heart almost exploded from fear.
The woman in purple robes and phoenix crown looked exactly the same as Yue Ziye. It was just that the aura between her brows was different.
Yue Changkong suppressed the shock in his heart and did his best to act calm as he asked, "Who are you?"
Xin Yue inherited a portion of Yue Ziye's memories. She didn't have any favorable impression of Yue Changkong. She looked at him indifferently, as if she was sizing up a dog.
Yue Changkong was both angry and afraid, but he didn't dare to act up. He could only turn his head and look for Yue Qingxue, "Have you gone mad? She is your mother. You are unfilial and unfilial. How are you qualified to be the emperor? "
"She isn't my mother. I didn't kill her either."
Yue Qingxue calmly spoke, "Because she was worried about my royal father's injuries, she was overwhelmed with grief and lost her consciousness."
Everyone was astonished. Yue Qingxue casually made up a reason. Such a perfunctory attitude clearly indicated that she didn't care about this matter at all.
Yue Qingyu who was standing behind Yue Qingxue involuntarily widened her eyes. Only today did she discover that Yue Qingxue's bones were extremely similar to Gao Zhengyang's. Or rather, Yue Qingxue had learned Gao Zhengyang's way of doing things.
Simple, direct, violent. However, it was extremely powerful, causing people to not dare to resist.
Yue Changkong was so angered that his vision turned black. The sinister and sinister underworld energy in his body continued to radiate outwards. On one hand, he had to suppress the Nethershadow Dragon's sword intent. On the other hand, he had to suppress his agitated emotions. He actually didn't have the strength to speak.
Yue Qingxue also didn't have any interest in talking nonsense with Yue Changkong. He didn't have much time left, he basically didn't have the strength to control the situation. She spoke to Yue Guanshan, "Imperial Preceptor, can I become the emperor?"
Yue Guanshan glanced at Xin Yue, feeling extremely sullen in his heart. However, the situation was stronger than the person. With Xin Yue's help, Yue Qingxue could ignore the Royal Heavenly Six Paths Reincarnation Sword. If they fought, no one would be a match for her.
He hesitated. "Qingxue, becoming the emperor isn't child's play. You have to be responsible for the lives of millions and millions of people. You have to be responsible for the country, you have to be responsible for the survival of the human race … There are too many things to do. It isn't something that can be done with strength alone."
"If not me, who else can do it?"
Yue Qingxue only said these four words, causing Yue Guanshan to be unable to say anything else.
There was Xin Yue internally, Gao Zhengyang externally, and Yue Qingxue herself was exceptionally resolute. Yue Guanshan didn't dare to choose someone else. Indeed, the internal affairs of the country were extremely complicated. Yue Qingxue couldn't use violence to rule the country. However, as long as she steeled her heart and destroyed it, the Moon Country would be finished.
Yue Qingxue dared to fight, but Yue Guanshan didn't dare to. He had long since lost his sharpness and didn't dare to take on such a huge responsibility. Yue Qingxue becoming the emperor wasn't a bad choice. In truth, Yue Guanshan already had no other choice.
The exceptionally domineering Yue Qingxue used the crudest method to suppress all voices.
That day, Yue Changkong announced that Yue Qingxue would be the crown prince and that the inheritance ceremony would be held seven days later.
