Princess Promotion

Lin Wan knelt on the bluestone slab, watching the marquis in tears and making a disgraceful scene on the execution ground.

It was really enjoyable. Lin Wan was not the kind of person who would feel sad about the passing of time. Others might feel confused after getting their revenge.

But Lin Wan just felt that she had finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish since childhood, and that it could comfort her Aunt Liu, her mother, and her grandfather who were in the afterlife.

From now on, she will live for herself, live a wonderful life and live like a human being.

Emperor Qi looked at the hall which had become quiet again and felt a little bored.

In the past, there were endless twists and turns and things waiting for Emperor Qi to deal with every day, and he rarely had time to rest.

Now he was just sitting there with nothing to do, so he said he wanted to see some singing and dancing, otherwise it would be too boring to watch these old men all day long.

Ministers... We just want to sit quietly. Can't you, the ancestors, do what normal rebels and prisoners should do?

Yao Chuguang: "No, they have work to do."

Emperor Qi: "What kind of work?"

Yao Chuguang: "This is the imperial court. They are ministers and of course they should handle government affairs. They haven't had time to deal with government affairs these past few days because they have too many things to do."

Emperor Qi: "That makes sense."

Lin Wan walked in dressed in mourning clothes and said, "Princess, the memorials you requested have been sorted out."

Emperor Qi asked: "Are you wearing mourning clothes to observe mourning for the Earl's Mansion?"

Lin Wan: "Of course. The Marquis is my daughter's father after all. Even though he made a grave mistake, he's dead. I should still follow the ancestral laws and observe mourning for my father."

The Emperor of Qi sighed: "What a filial child."

Lin Wan: “It should be.”

The ministers were so shocked by the conversation between the two that they knew what to say. If they had not lost their memories, Lin Wan's father would not have been beheaded by her own hands.

The palace maids pushed in several screens that were several meters long. What was peculiar was that there were no usual paintings of flowers, birds or landscapes on the screens.

Instead, the unfolded memorials were neatly arranged and fixed to the screen with clips.

Xiao Ge Lao also woke up at this time. Looking at the rows of screens in front of him, he asked with some confusion: "What is this for?"

Lin Wan: "Of course, I read the memorials."

Everyone looked at Lin Wan with eyes that said, "You think we are fools." Even if one could read at a glance, they would still be reading one book at a time. Who would hang up the memorials to read? Could they remember the contents at a glance?

Lin Wan: "Haven't you heard of photographic memory? The princess has a very good memory and can remember everything she sees. She's just been hiding her abilities for years so no one knows."

Everyone saw Yao Chuguang just standing in front of a screen, walking from left to right, and then walked to the next screen.

The palace maids have begun to take down and put away the memorials on the screen in front, and replace them with new ones.

The Emperor of Qi walked down in shock and randomly picked up a memorial, which turned out to be from ten years ago.

I randomly picked out a few paragraphs and asked Yao Chuguang, and Yao Chuguang recited them all without even stopping to read the memorial.

Emperor Qi: "Since you possess such magical powers, you are not hiding them now because you feel that the throne is secure."

Yao Chuguang: "Yes, Father, you no longer have any chance of turning the tables."

The Emperor of Qi was not annoyed: "Since you feel that everything has been settled, why don't you sit on the dragon throne and read the memorials?"

Yao Chuguang: "I won't sit on it, of course, because there are hidden weapons on it. If I sit on it and you use the hidden weapons, I will die, and you can take advantage of the chaos to get into the secret passage and escape."

Emperor Qi couldn't laugh anymore. "How did you know this? Lin Wan also found out about this."

Yao Chuguang stopped and looked back at Emperor Qi: "The hidden weapon on the dragon throne was a trick I tricked you with. As for the secret passage, I just found it."

Yao Chuguang pointed to a corner that had been covered by the screen just now. The screen was moved again and the place where the bookcase was originally placed was moved away. Inside was full of unconscious soldiers.

Yao Chuguang didn't drag the person out, but instead ordered people to seal the secret passage directly.

Yao Chuguang: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. How could the people who built this palace not have thought about what to do if someone rebelled? They had to leave a way out for their descendants."

"Ever since I entered this hall, Father, you've been intentionally looking away, but it's this deliberateness that caught my attention. You look at other places casually, but there's one angle you've deliberately avoided."

Emperor Qi: "I didn't expect to fail. I was too arrogant."

Yao Chuguang: "Father, in fact, before we attacked, you could have escaped through the secret passage immediately."

The Emperor of Qi naturally knew it, but he couldn't leave.

He knew that if he escaped at that time, he might never be able to find the person who provided information to Yao Chuguang behind the scenes.

Even if he could escape and lead his troops back, he would not be able to deal with Duke Li for a while.

Ever since Yao Chuguang attacked the imperial capital, there was bound to be a battle between him and Duke Li.

However, even if Yao Chuguang was eliminated, the person behind the scenes still could not be found. Once the war broke out, he would be attacked from both sides.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and even the slightest change may affect the outcome of the war.

Even if it means taking risks, Emperor Qi has to stay and eliminate this hidden danger.

Emperor Qi looked at the dragon throne that had been moved away and replaced with a couch.

Emperor Qi: "I thought the first thing you would do after entering the palace would be to sit on that throne."

He really didn't expect that Yao Chuguang, who was always fearless in everything he did, would be so cautious.

Yao Chuguang did not answer. In fact, she did not go up and sit because she was simply lazy.

In film and television dramas, rebellion is about killing people indiscriminately, and then sitting on the dragon throne and making a speech.

Yao Chuguang had nothing to say to these ministers, and she still had to deal with a bunch of subsequent issues.

She couldn't just sit there and make all kinds of harsh remarks, and then run to the side hall to discuss matters.

This will only make you tired, apart from showing off meaninglessly.

Emperor Qi: "Although I can't leave now, Commander Wu can't just sit there and wait. Even if I die, there are still your brothers."

Yao Chuguang: "There is nothing to do with my brother. Before the city was sealed, I used your imperial seal to issue two edicts, stating that after your death, the throne would be passed to my uncles."

The Emperor of Qi could no longer maintain his usual composure: "Are you crazy?"

At this time, Commander Wu outside the city wall also wanted to go in and curse, saying that this crazy woman was simply going to drag everyone to her grave.

Looking at King Rui on the left, who was dusty but not tired, and the strong soldiers behind him.

Looking to the right, there was King Kang, who was also in high spirits, and the endless army behind him.

Both of them were holding the imperial edict of the Qi Emperor's succession to the throne.

No matter how nice the two of them say now, as long as he steps aside and lets them attack, being granted a title of nobility or a position of prime minister will not be a problem.

Commander Wu didn't believe a word of it. The best outcome for him now was to rush in. If he could save the Emperor of Qi, that would be the best. If not, he would choose a prince to assist him in ascending the throne.

But now it is no longer possible, because both princes have imperial edicts, so even if he wants to assist the prince in the future, it will not be legitimate.

Yao Chuguang cut off Commander Wu's retreat and he had no choice but to stay outside the city and fight to the death with the two princes.

As for joining the two princes, that would only mean following in the footsteps of Duke Li, and his situation would be no match for Duke Li's.

Duke Li is at the border, and it's not easy to take the initiative given the high mountains and long distances, but he is right in front of us.

Commander Wu even dared to say that if one of these two princes was really allowed to settle in the imperial capital, the first person to be killed would definitely be himself.

On the contrary, Yao Chuguang is unlikely to get into trouble, after all, he is the Duke of Li who has to maintain a stable border.

Commander Wu had no other choice but to fight to the death to stop the two aggressive princes.

Overnight, Commander Wu went from attacking cities to defending them.

He was also very desperate about this change of identity.

Emperor Qi: "Since there are two imperial edicts and only one king, General Wu, we can pretend to seek peace and let them fight it out first. Then, when they are exhausted, we can take them down all at once."

Yao Chuguang: "Why did I issue two edicts? It's because if they only come one way, they are no match. They certainly won't be stupid enough to fight in front of Commander Wu."

Commander Wu actually went to tell the two of them that there was only one throne, and he would let whoever's edict was genuine pass on.

Naturally, both King Rui and King Kang claimed that their own edicts were authentic and that the other's was fake.

But the two of them are not stupid. The one with the strongest military force here is Commander Wu. If the two of them fight among themselves, Commander Wu can easily wipe them out.

After Yao Chuguang finished reading the memorials on the last screen, he turned around and looked at the piles of memorials.

She can read so much information in one day, but it takes some time for her to remember it all.

Yao Chuguang looked at Emperor Qi and said, "So Prince Rui and Prince Kang will eventually join forces to eliminate Commander Wu, and then they will come back to fight it out."

As if to confirm Yao Chuguang's prediction, Prince Rui and Prince Kang joined forces. They unanimously replied that they would first go to the imperial capital to rescue the ministers, and then sit down together to discuss the throne.

The worst situation for Commander Wu has yet to come. Once these two princes enter the imperial capital, it will be a fait accompli.

Whoever becomes emperor will end up dead.

The Emperor of Qi seemed to have regained his usual calm demeanor and asked, "Then according to your estimate, who will win in the end?"

Yao Chuguang: "Of course it's me."
