Under Queen Sophia's summons, the officials of the Habsburg Dynasty quickly gathered in the main hall.
Of course, those who could enter the main hall of the palace were all high-ranking officials. Low-ranking officials were not qualified to enter the palace.
"Why is Her Majesty in such a hurry to summon us? Did something important happen?"
"Where's the Great Elder? Why don't I see him? "
"Yeah, with the Great Elder's temper, he wouldn't be late …"
After the officials entered the main hall, there was a lot of discussion. No one knew what had happened. In the corner of the main hall, the corpses of the Great Elder and his son were lying there, covered with a piece of white cloth. Unfortunately, no one noticed it at this time.
At this moment, both Queen Sophia and Jiang Fei were behind the screen. Sophia looked a little nervous. After all, for a long time, the Great Elder had monopolized power. The entire Habsburg Dynasty was almost under his control. Although Sophia had the ambition to personally rule, she had never thought of using this method to solve the threat of the Great Elder.
"Don't be nervous. Just do as I say. If there are any problems, I will help you solve them," Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"Alright …" Seeing Jiang Fei's smiling face, Sophia felt a lot more at ease. In the end, she made up her mind. Now that things had come to this, it was too late to regret. Moreover, Jiang Fei was the person prophesied in the ancient book. There should be no problems if she did as he said.
After taking a deep breath, Sophia stepped out of the screen.
"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!" a servant shouted loudly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen!" The officials saluted one after another. For so many years, although the Great Elder had monopolized power, the Queen was still the Queen. In terms of etiquette, the officials did not dare to be as presumptuous as the Great Elder.
"Get up." Sophia waved her hand and then sat on the throne.
At this time, Jiang Fei also walked out from behind the screen.
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know … I have never seen this young man before …"
"Could he be the Queen's boy toy?"
"It's hard to say … After all, the Queen is at this age …"
…
The officials were discussing. Although their voices were very low, the space in the main hall was limited. Jiang Fei and Sophia could hear them clearly.
Sophia's face turned slightly red, but Jiang Fei's face immediately darkened.
"How dare you! How dare you slander Her Majesty! Men, arrest him! "Jiang Fei suddenly shouted.
"Yes!" The Palace Warriors roared and held the two ministers down. These Palace Warriors had already received Sophia's orders. So, when Jiang Fei gave the order, they immediately took action.
"Your Majesty?!" The ministers present were all dumbfounded. Usually, the Great Patriarch had absolute power, and the Queen was just a decoration. Everyone respected her out of etiquette, but in fact, no one took her seriously. Only a few royalists were truly loyal to her.
Furthermore, over the years, there had been many officials who spouted nonsense in the Imperial Court. However, they had the authority of the Great Elder, and Sophia had always pretended not to hear them. Thus, these fellows did not take her seriously at all. They did not expect the Queen's "boy toy" to be serious today.
"Your Majesty, these people have no respect for the Queen. They should be executed!" Jiang Fei's first words were to kill them. This made Sophia a little nervous. After all, it had only been a few hours since they had started working together. However, Jiang Fei's murderous intent shocked Sophia.
"Approved!" Sophia gritted her teeth. At this time, she definitely could not undermine Jiang Fei. Otherwise, if Jiang Fei gave up, she would not be able to clean up the mess.
"What?!" The royalists, including the royalists, were all dumbfounded. Although they supported Sophia's personal rule, they did not want to break off their relationship with the Great Elder now. After all, many conditions were not ripe yet.
After Sophia nodded, Jiang Fei waved his hand. The warriors in front of the palace dragged the two ministers out of the palace. Once they left the palace, their heads would be separated from their bodies.
"Wait a minute! We want to see the Great Elder! "
"You can't kill us. We want to see the Great Elder!"
…
When their lives were at stake, the two of them remembered their backer. They clamored to see the Great Elder.
"Alright, then I'll let you see him!" Jiang Fei's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Phew …" The two of them secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In their opinion, as long as they saw the Great Elder, they would at most be reprimanded for their little mistake. Then, the matter would be forgotten.
"Bring them over!" At this time, Jiang Fei waved his hand. A few Palace Warriors immediately went to the corner of the main hall and carried the two corpses to the center of the main hall.
Swoosh! Jiang Fei tore off the white cloth covering the two corpses.
"Did you see them?" Jiang Fei sneered, then said to the Palace Warriors, "Their wish has been fulfilled. Leave. Execute them!"
"Yes!" The Palace Warriors did not say anything. They dragged the two who were already stunned and walked out of the main hall.
At this time, the entire main hall was silent, not to mention the two unlucky people who were about to be beheaded. The news of the Great Elder's death was too shocking. Everyone was caught off guard and did not know how to react.
"The Great Elder and his son intended to rebel. He has now been executed. Do you have anything to say?" Jiang Fei said as he looked at the officials in the main hall.
"…" The entire main hall was silent. The heavy breathing of the people in the main hall was particularly ear-piercing.
"The Queen is wise. We firmly support the Queen and are loyal to the Queen!" The first to react were not the Royalists, but the Great Elder's closest confidants.
These guys knew that once the Great Elder died, they would be the next unlucky ones. Moreover, now that the Great Elder was dead, it seemed that even if they wanted to rebel, they wouldn't have the chance. Now, if they didn't quickly express their loyalty and distance themselves from the Great Elder's faction, then they would end up like the two unlucky guys who were pushed out.
"Long live the Queen!" At this time, the Royalists finally reacted.
"Long live the Queen!" The other officials also knelt down. Although the Great Elder's death was a little sudden, at this time, not only was the Queen not prepared, but the Great Elder's side was also not ready. Therefore, his death meant that the monkeys would scatter when the tree fell.
"All of you, rise." Jiang Fei glanced at Sophia, then said to the officials, "Everyone knows what you have done before. Her Majesty is merciful and will not hold you accountable. However, you must be grateful. Don't have any ideas that you shouldn't have!"
