Old General Xia Long narrowed his eyes and remained silent. In his heart, he was actually opposed to Princess Yue Sheng's succession to the throne.

But if Princess Yue Sheng is really the master of the Blood Bamboo Palace, he has no objection. Instead, he is looking forward to the princess being able to unify the Three Kingdoms.

"Regent, Princess Yue Sheng is a woman after all. She is easily emotional and indecisive. I'm afraid she can't handle big responsibilities..." Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Su frowned and pondered.

"Prime Minister Su is wrong. I am An Feng, one of the assassins of the Dark Hall of the Blood Bamboo Hall. Although you are a woman, you are no less than a man. If you are not qualified to be an emperor, who else can unify the Three Kingdoms?"

An Feng, the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, stepped forward and spoke confidently.

Anfeng is a ruthless man who speaks little, but he is very good at interrogating prisoners and prying their mouths open.

All the prisoners who fell into Anfeng's hands confessed without hesitation, and he was appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple by Yue Jin.

"An Feng? You... you are An Feng from the Blood Bamboo Palace?" Prime Minister Su looked at An Feng in shock and asked stutteringly.

"What else?" An Feng asked back in a cold voice.

Everyone was shocked, they thought it was the same name, but they didn't expect that this An Feng was actually the An Feng killer from the Dark Hall of the Blood Bamboo Hall.

Zheng Shuze said leisurely, "What's wrong with the fact that the Master is a woman? Qing Kingdom belongs to our Blood Bamboo Palace. By the way, Yu Kingdom is also under the Master's control. Even if the Master is not a member of the Yue royal family, Yue Kingdom will belong to the Master sooner or later."

"The Yu Kingdom is under the control of the Lord of the Blood Bamboo Palace? Deputy General Zheng, are you also from the Blood Bamboo Palace?"

"Don't I look like it? I am the person that the Lord values ​​the most." Zheng Shuze said seriously.

At this time, a voice came from outside, "The person the Lord values ​​most? You? Zheng Shuze, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you brag now?"

Hearing Zhu Yi's voice, Zheng Shuze's heart trembled, and he suddenly looked out of the hall.

Then the eunuch's hoarse voice rang in my ears, "Her Highness the Princess has arrived—"

Yan Sheng was wearing a black dress embroidered with gold bamboo patterns. She had a graceful figure and her hair flowed down like dark green spring water. She had a bamboo-patterned mask on her face, which gave her a domineering and majestic look.

Zhu Yi followed Yan Sheng into the hall and looked at Zheng Shuze with a smile in his eyes.

Yue Jin looked at Yan Sheng and felt a little moved. His daughter's aura was stronger than his.

Since Yan Sheng is here, let Yan Sheng solve the matter himself and he can just watch the show from the side.

"Your subordinate greets your lord." An Feng, Zheng Shuze and other members of the Blood Bamboo Hall who served as officials in the court knelt down and said to Yan Sheng.

An Feng's eyes flickered, and his heart trembled. Has the Lord finally come to Yue Country? And is he wearing women's clothes?

You are worthy of being the Lord. Whether it is men's or women's clothing, they all look so good.

It has been two years since he came to Yue State and he hasn't seen the Lord.

The Lord is still as stunning and awe-inspiring as ever. He is also more mature than before and has a more imperial air.

Prime Minister Su was suddenly shocked and looked around. He found that half of the ministers in the court were from the Blood Bamboo Palace.

The other ministers saw this, their eyes were filled with fear, and they immediately shouted, "Your Highness, the Princess, are here to see you."

Yan Sheng chuckled and took off the bamboo-patterned mask, revealing her fairy-like jade-colored face.

Her face was cold and noble, her eyes were bright and deep, revealing an imperceptible chill, and her beauty made people dare not look directly at her.

"Get up, I heard someone is questioning my identity? Do you think I am not capable of becoming an emperor?"

Yan Sheng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Prime Minister Su and the ministers, and said in a calm voice.

The minister who had just voiced his opposition, after seeing the mask on Yan Sheng's face, as well as most of the people from the Blood Bamboo Palace in the court, were filled with shock and fear.

The princess wore a bamboo-patterned mask, and people from the Blood Bamboo Palace had infiltrated the court. Who would dare to say that the princess was not the master of the Blood Bamboo Palace?

You must know that the Blood Bamboo Palace is not easy to mess with, and the Lord of the Blood Bamboo Palace can destroy an entire sect in minutes.

For example, Linglan Villa and the evil Wufeng Sect were both destroyed by the Blood Bamboo Palace.

The ministers stood up tremblingly and said one after another, "No, no, how dare we question the identity of Your Highness the Crown Princess?"

"Your Highness is extremely powerful and has established the Blood Bamboo Palace. I admire your Highness very much."

"Yes, Your Highness is a heroine. I hope Your Highness will ascend the throne as soon as possible and unify the three kingdoms."

Prime Minister Su's face turned pale when he saw this, and he said, "A princess is a princess. How can she be a crown prince or an emperor? If a woman is superior to a man, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Yan Sheng glanced at Prime Minister Su and said, "Prime Minister Su is really pedantic and ignorant, and he is also a male chauvinist. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Who stipulates that only men can be emperors?"

"Since ancient times, there has never been a woman who became an emperor. As a woman, the princess should understand the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, stay at home to take care of her husband and children, and not show up in public..."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Su blew his beard and glared, then raised his voice and spoke.

Yan Sheng snorted coldly, "Who says women can only depend on men? In terms of ability and strength, who can be stronger than me? Who is more suitable to be the master of this world than me? Not only do I want to be the emperor, I also want women to serve as officials in the court."

In an era where men are superior to women and boys are valued over girls, women have a low status, even though some women are no less capable than men.

However, she was suppressed by men and constrained by worldly things, unable to display her talents.

Besides, who says there were no women emperors in ancient times? Chen Shuozhen, the female leader of the peasant uprising, and Wu Zetian, the orthodox female emperor, are both outstanding representatives.

In the fourth year of Emperor Gaozong of Tang's Yonghui reign, Chen Shuozhen, a woman of outstanding talent and bravery from Muzhou, led a peasant uprising and proclaimed herself Emperor Wenjia.

In 690 AD, Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor, changed the country's name to Zhou, and established the Wu Zhou Dynasty. She held political power in the Tang Dynasty for more than half a century. The era she created was a continuation of the Zhenguan Era and a prelude to the Kaiyuan Era.

There are also many women who are as capable as men, such as Fu Hao, a female general who served as a commander in the Shang Dynasty and fought wars in the east and the west, Hua Mulan who joined the army in place of her father in the Western Han Dynasty, the talented Princess Pingyang, Qin Liangyu, a female general who led troops to quell the war in the late Ming Dynasty, and so on.

"A woman serving as an official in the court?" Prime Minister Su was stunned and exclaimed.

"It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous. Regent, the princess is a heretic. If the regent insists on letting the princess succeed to the throne, I will die in the court."

Prime Minister Su looked as if he could not accept it and spoke to Yue Jin with a righteous look.
