Currently, various factions were competing in the East Moon Royal Capital. Although it seemed peaceful on the surface, there was a great deal of fighting behind the scenes.
If Dongyue Xue 'er escorted the Overlord War God back to the royal capital, it might cause a commotion.
Even the commoners in the Imperial Capital could feel the formless tension in the air. It was like the calm before the storm!
However, this was the East Moon Royal Capital after all, the largest and most prosperous city in the East Moon Empire. It was also the city with the most powerful cultivators in the empire.
It was impossible to survive in the East Moon Royal Capital without some ability.
Now, Dongyue Xue 'er had actually chosen to defy the imperial edict. The crime of defying the imperial edict was no small matter.
However, she had no choice, because Eunuch Tu had been killed by the fatty with a single punch, and the Divine Protector General had also been injured by the fatty.
No matter what, the matter could not be resolved peacefully, because the new empress' faction would definitely make a big deal out of this. Dongyue Xue 'er's crime of defying the imperial edict was already set in stone.
Since that was the case, Dongyue Xue 'er decided to be ruthless.
At this time, the news of the injured Divine Protector General and Dongyue Xue 'er defying the imperial edict was spread in the East Moon Royal Capital by people with ulterior motives. For a moment, the entire royal capital was in an uproar.
Everyone was in disbelief.
After all, Princess Dongyue Xue 'er had always been an obedient girl in the eyes of the people in the royal capital, yet she was defying the imperial edict this time?
How was that possible?
The East Moon Royal Lord was furious, and the entire court was shocked.
The people who were the most pleased were the new empress' faction, because in their eyes, Dongyue Xue 'er was on the crown prince's side.
Getting rid of Dongyue Xue 'er was equivalent to getting rid of a great supporter of the crown prince, and the second prince would have a greater chance of ascending the throne.
However, the second prince was currently in a very miserable state. He was locked in a prison carriage by Dongyue Xue 'er, together with the Overlord War God.
Mister Jin of the Golden Sun Sacred Land was also thrown into the prison carriage.
Dongyue Xue 'er planned to set off early the next morning. She wanted to openly and majestically escort Dongyue Yuanliang, the Overlord War God, and Mister Jin into the East Moon Royal Capital.
With Wang Zhan and Fatty as her trump cards, she had nothing to fear.
She wanted to let those who were targeting her in the Eastern Capital know that she, Dongyue Xue 'er, was not to be trifled with. If they angered this princess, the consequences would be dire.
Strength was everything. No matter who you were, as long as you possessed absolute strength, you would be able to crush everything.
Because this was a world where the strong were respected.
Dongyue Xue 'er's people were preparing.
At the same time, she had also made contact with the Crown Prince in the Imperial Capital and learned about the situation in the Imperial Capital.
The situation in the Imperial Capital was very disadvantageous to her.
But so what?
Tomorrow, there would be a good show in the East Moon Imperial Capital.
…
Time passed very quickly. Whether it was the various factions in the East Moon Royal Capital or Xue 'er's people, they were all rubbing their hands in glee, while some factions were already prepared to watch the show.
Would the Crown Prince's faction crush the new Empress' faction, or would the new Empress' faction drag the Crown Prince down? No matter who won, it would be a good thing for the other factions.
"Wang Zhan …"
East Moon Royal Capital, Infinite Sword Sect, on the top floor of the Infinite Sword Pavilion, Swordmaster Dong Yue sat cross-legged in the air. He suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment, a person opened the door and walked in carefully.
That person walked up to Swordmaster Dong Yue with light steps.
"Master, I've already investigated. Princess Dong Yue will leave Tianyue City tomorrow morning and will probably arrive at the Imperial Capital by evening."
The black-clothed person said carefully.
"That's it?"
Swordmaster Dong Yue did not even open his eyes.
"This … That person called Wang Zhan seems to have a powerful background. His master has appeared."
The black-clothed person answered.
"I don't care who he is. Do you think I'm no match for him?"
Swordmaster Dong Yue suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the black-clothed person like a sword.
The black-clothed person trembled in fear and hurriedly said, "No, Master is the Greatest Sword of the East Moon Empire. Those who dare to offend Master must be tired of living."
He hurriedly flattered.
"Keep an eye on them and report back."
Swordmaster Dong Yue said coldly.
"Yes, Master."
The black-clothed person retreated in fear.
"He has a master. Don't I have a master?"
After seeing his disciple leave, Swordmaster Dong Yue's expression also turned grim.
Swordmaster Dong Yue's master was naturally the Sword Saint of the Infinite Sword Sect.
No matter how powerful Wang Zhan and his master were, could they be more powerful than a Sword Saint?
Swordmaster Dong Yue sneered.
…
"That girl dares to humiliate my son. I'll teach her a lesson."
At this moment, in the imperial harem of the East Moon Empire, the new empress directly smashed the jade cup in her hand. The servants around her were all terrified.
"All of you, leave!"
The new empress wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe. She sat upright and still, exuding an imposing aura.
The surrounding servants hurriedly bowed to the new empress, then bowed and left.
A middle-aged eunuch standing next to the new empress did not move.
"Young mistress, that girl is so arrogant. Should we …"
The middle-aged eunuch said as he stretched out his right hand and slashed diagonally in the air.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
A cold gleam flashed across the new empress' eyes.
"Hmm … We can ask the people of the Skypiercing Tower to do it. That way, there won't be any trouble.
After all, they're professionals in this aspect, "the eunuch said after some thought.
"Alright, we'll go all the way this time. We'll send that girl on her way. It'll be best if we can frame the crown prince. That way, we'll have an excuse to depose the crown prince."
Dongxuan Feng squinted her eyes. Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.
"Yes …"
Dongxuan Feng's confidant could not help but admire Dongxuan Feng even more. As expected of the young mistress. This plan of killing two birds with one stone was truly vicious.
At this moment, in another part of the imperial palace, in a warm room, Royal Lord Dong Yue was reading through memorials while the crown prince, Dongyue Haoyang, waited on his side.
"What's going on with the Hu family? Do they want to break off the engagement?"
Royal Lord Dong Yue directly threw the memorial in his hand onto the ground.
"What …"
Crown Prince Dongyue Haoyang was shocked. He quickly picked up the memorial and took a look. It was indeed from General Hu Ben. He wanted to break off the engagement.
The engagement between the number one of the younger generation of the Hu family and Dongyue Xue 'er was not something that could be easily broken off. Furthermore, the engagement could only be broken off by Dongyue Xue' er, not the Hu family.
Clearly, the Hu family wanted to draw a clear line between them.
To the Hu family, the current Dongyue Xue 'er was definitely a huge trouble. Anyone who got involved with her would be in deep trouble!
The news of Dongyue Xue 'er defying the imperial edict had already spread throughout the entire eastern capital.
"Father, this …"
The crown prince looked at Royal Lord Dong Yue in shock.
"The third girl has really gotten herself into big trouble this time!"
Royal Lord Dong Yue felt helpless as well.
…
"It's such a nice day!"
