Now that only Zhao Fu had come, she had no other choice. Otherwise, if someone else tried to seize power, the Lelai Kingdom might be destroyed. As for Zhao Fu's identity, she could only deal with it in the future.
"Very well, We will betroth the Princess to you," Le Yuyu made her decision and smiled as she nodded and said to Zhao Fu.
A smile appeared on Zhao Fu's face as he took out a spatial ring and said, "The 300 Cities are in this spatial ring; please accept them, Empress Dowager."
A palace maid walked over and took the spatial ring from Zhao Fu's hand and was about to hand it to Le Yuyu.
At that moment, a few middle-aged men with powerful auras walked in, and the leader directly said, "I will not approve of this marriage. Zhiwen is the Lelai Kingdom's Princess Royal; how can she be married off so casually? Also, this person's identity is unknown, and he might have other motives."
Le Yuyu slightly frowned; she knew that these people would cause trouble, and she said, "The Outer Kingdoms are invading, and the Lelai Kingdom's defensive lines have been broken through. The army at the frontlines needs this power, so there's no need for you to bring this up. Zhiwen will marry him in the future."
The middle-aged man felt quite furious. Seeing that Le Yuyu was not giving him any face, he said in a threatening tone, "Empress Dowager, you can consider this carefully. Don't regret it in the future."
Le Yuyu's heart tightened, and she could tell that the other party was threatening her. This meant that they were going to start a rebellion, and Le Yuyu could not help but hesitate.
Right now, she did not have the Lelai Kingdom's Royal Seal. After every King's death, the Kingdom's Fate would fall into chaos, and the successor had to be acknowledged by the Royal Seal in order to become the true King.
However, other people with pure Royal Bloodline and decent Fate could also try to seize power and fight for the throne, which would allow them to receive the Royal Seal's acknowledgement.
As such, Le Yuyu could not use the Royal Seal to remove the power of these branches of the Royal Family. If she could, she would not have to suffer like this.
At first, because of the Outer Kingdoms' invasion, if there was internal strife, the Lelai Kingdom might not be able to protect itself. As such, both sides were quite restrained in order to avoid any large conflicts, which would give the Outer Kingdoms an advantage.
However, things were different now. If Le Yuyu obtained 300 Cities and resolved the problem of foreign invasions, the Royal Seal would officially recognize her son as her master. When that time came, it would be much easier to deal with them.
Directly crippling a City Lord would cause them to lose a large portion of their top-tier battle force. Of course, they had developed their own Cities, but they did not have an advantage in numbers. At that time, they only had an advantage in terms of military strength, as they had always held real power.
However, seizing the throne like this would be more troublesome. There might be some accidents, so he had to stop Le Yuyu now.
Even if they started a mutiny now and seized power officially, it would be better than later.
However, they were mainly worried about external threats. If they started a civil war at this time, the situation would become very bad, so they only used this to threaten Le Yuyu. If she didn't see the big picture, then she couldn't blame them for being unscrupulous.
Le Yuyu was in a dilemma. On one hand, she wanted to obtain 300 Cities to consolidate her power, but on the other hand, she was afraid that the other branches of the royal family would rebel.
Once they started a rebellion, it was possible that they would lose, and the other countries would seize this opportunity to destroy the Lelai Kingdom.
"Heh!"
Suddenly, a light laugh broke the stalemate, and everyone turned to look at Zhao Fu.
The middle-aged man coldly harrumphed and said, "The Lelai Kingdom's Princess won't be getting married. Sir, it's best if you leave as soon as possible to avoid trouble."
Zhao Fu turned and looked at the middle-aged man with his terrifying eyes, causing the middle-aged man to feel a chill in his heart.
"You're all quite daring to talk back to the Empress Dowager like this; are you not afraid of death?"
"I've already given the 300 City Lords to you. Princess Zhiwen should be mine now; this has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to interfere."
Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, how could Zhao Fu allow a few people to ruin it?
Hearing this, Le Zhiwen's face became red and she felt quite embarrassed. Le Yuyu felt quite delighted because this mysterious person in front of her had chosen to help her. Perhaps there was a chance that things would take a turn for the better, and she would have a chance.
The members of the royal family furiously glared at Zhao Fu, and the middle-aged man in the lead became even more furious. The trace of fear in his gaze towards Zhao Fu disappeared, and he said coldly, "You're seeking death. This is the Lelai Kingdom's territory; no matter who you are, even if you're a dragon, you'd better crawl here."
Boom!!
A massive aura exploded out, covering the entire hall. The air seemed to become heavy, and the ordinary palace maids and soldiers' faces became pale. This was the power of a Stage 9 expert with a City Lord's City Lord Seal; how could ordinary people withstand it?
The middle-aged man coldly looked at Zhao Fu, and that massive aura pressed down towards Zhao Fu. If it wasn't for the fact that he was wary of Zhao Fu's identity, the middle-aged man might have directly killed Zhao Fu.
However, Zhao Fu gave a trace of a smile. Under that massive aura, he was completely fine, and he turned to look at the people that the royal family had brought.
"Since you're all gathered here, I'll deal with you all at once."
Hearing Zhao Fu's words, everyone felt quite startled and had a bad feeling. Suddenly, an even more powerful aura exploded out, weighing down on everyone's bodies like a mountain. Everyone's expressions fell, and they felt their bodies sink.
This power was terrifying, and everyone felt as if they had fallen into an icy cavern, causing their bodies to feel cold. They had never thought that Zhao Fu would have such immense power.
Even the Lelai Kingdom did not have such a massive power; just who was this person? Everyone felt quite shocked; Zhao Fu's identity far surpassed what they had imagined.
At that moment, Zhao Fu suddenly acted. He waved his hand, and a formless blade flew out, killing all of the people that the royal family had brought, causing blood to flow all over the ground.
Immediately!
It was not just the royal family that wanted to escape; Le Yuyu's side also felt that the situation was quite bad and wanted to escape. It seemed that this son-in-law selection had recruited an incredible figure.
Clang, clang, clang …
The sound of chains rang out as countless chains shot out from the air towards the royal family members. The royal family members' expressions fell, and they took out their weapons and exploded out with powerful auras as they unleashed terrifying attacks.
However, their attacks were not very effective, and they were only able to break a small portion of the chains. The majority of the chains tightly bound the royal family members, and no matter how they struggled, they could not break free.
