Everyone looked at each other, all with confused expressions.

What is oil? They just accepted soybean oil, and now there is petroleum. Can oil be extracted from rocks?

Is oil delicious?

Right Prime Minister Du Sui took a step on his knees but was stopped by the guards.

These were the people who followed Prince Yin to open the coffin and get the imperial edict. His Majesty issued an order to keep them in a circle and not allow them to move, awaiting their fate. So they were not allowed to move even while kneeling.

Du Sui knew that forcing the emperor to abdicate had to succeed, otherwise he would die.

So, regardless of the guards' attempts to stop him, he kowtowed again and shouted:

"Now is not the time to discuss whether oil is useful or not. Canglong Mountain is where the dragon veins are located. Let alone stone oil, even a pool of golden water is the tears of a divine dragon, Your Majesty.

The dragon is weeping, Cangwu is about to perish. For the sake of the people of the world, I implore Your Majesty to abdicate."

Everyone was shocked, especially the women who did not know the truth, and they looked terrified.

So the oil is the tears of the dragon?

The dragon is crying, isn’t that scary?

So some timid ladies knelt down and kowtowed, actually praying for God's blessing.

At the same time, the officials behind Du Sui also kowtowed and shouted:

"Your Majesty, I implore you to abdicate and ask for Prince Chu Yin to be exiled. Only then can Cangwu be stable, Your Majesty."

"You really have a problem. You're usually quiet, but now you're so eloquent. You're pouring out slanderous words!"

Song Jinxiu looked at the Right Prime Minister Du Sui who was kneeling at the front:

"Master Du is a spy from Southern Xinjiang, right? Oil is clearly a gift from the Dragon God, so why do you say it's like the Dragon is crying?"

"Your Highness, please do not slander me. I am only speaking for the sake of the Cangwu people. I know that you are eloquent, but I have heard the four words of the Dragon Crown. The late emperor left this message, and I am willing to die for it."

"I, your humble servants, are willing to die in remonstration."

Seeing more and more people kneeling down, and some people hesitating and wandering, Song Jinxiu's face turned completely dark.

She waved her hand and said, "You can wait and die later. As for the four true words of the late emperor, I do have something to say, and I speak with the most authority."

When Prince Yin saw that he had a chance to turn things around, hope rose in his heart. When he heard Song Jinxiu's words, he could not help but say angrily:

"You have authority? What do you think you are, a princess from another family? You're still a weanling, don't you know what the four-character motto means? And you say your words are authoritative? How shameless!"

Humph! When I become emperor, you'll be the first one to be sacrificed.

Song Jinxiu gave him a cold look and spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "I told you, there are four maxims that only I understand, and I have four more maxims for you. Listen: A bright moon shines on the water, but only its shadow can be seen, not its body. A foolish man thinks it is treasure and goes down to take it, but he fumbles around and finds nothing."

Prince Yin glared at her. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm stupid, or that my efforts have been in vain?"

Stupid and incompetent, just guess it yourself!

Song Jinxiu ignored him and said loudly, "I am the Junior Grandmaster of the Xuantian Sect and the only true disciple of Master Feng Yu. We also have the four mottos left by the late emperor."

Thank you Master for accepting me as your disciple. If you want to fool people, at this time, the identity of Xuantian Sect's Feng Yu's disciple is more useful than Princess Cangwu's.

"What? She's a disciple of Master Feng Yu from the Xuantian Sect? No wonder she's so powerful."

"Your Majesty must have known her identity long ago. No wonder he dotes on her so much. If it were me, I would dote on her too."

"Xuantian Sect? It's no surprise that a monstrous prodigy emerged from there."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, now it makes sense. The little master of Xuantian Sect, then you are worthy of being the princess of Cangwu."

"What do you mean by well-deserved? This is a blessing for Cangwu!"

Suddenly, Prince Yin burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Look, my royal brother, even the Xuantian Sect has these four mottos, and they were spoken by Princess Kangle, whom you most trust. I am the master of Cangwu, why don't you untie me now?"

Song Jinxiu looked at him with disdain. "You tyrant emperor, are you calling yourself 'I' now?"

No one paid any attention to Prince Yin. The officials close to him were trapped with Du Sui and were being watched by the imperial guards.

The others looked at Song Jinxiu:

Yes, that's what Princess Kangle said just now. Oh my god! What's going on? Why is Princess Kangle siding with Prince Yin?

A group of old ministers also glared at Song Jinxiu: You traitor, are you the one who is the most undercover?

Everyone looked at the emperor with sympathy: Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. This little girl has deceived your feelings.

Eunuch Hai was stunned and winked at Song Jinxiu: Princess, don't go too far, it will end badly.

Zhu Beichen glanced at Song Jinxiu, then stole a glance at the emperor.

Emperor Liu Renxiu had a calm expression, with no anger, hurt, or disappointment in his eyes, only worry about Princess Kangle.

The relationship between the ruler and his subjects has reached its peak.

Zhu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the envy and jealousy in his heart.

Forget it, I have long been demoted from the position of the most favored minister, why am I still being so pretentious?

Pingyang Hou Chenpi was so envious and jealous that he couldn't suppress his hatred. He pointed at Song Jinxiu and asked loudly, "You, are you worthy of His Majesty?"

Song Jinxiu looked at him with complicated eyes. If it wasn't you who assassinated Prince Yin in the end, I would have strangled you to death for your flatterer-like behavior.

She gave His Majesty a reassuring look, turned to the crowd and said:

"You only know four proverbs, but you don't know where they came from. Is there any other story behind them?

You've taken the words out of context, only understanding their surface and ignoring their deeper meaning. You're taking the late emperor's discarded four-character motto and treating it as the golden rule. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Princess Kangle, please stop talking nonsense. How could the four maxims and the late emperor's will be false? Everyone, please don't listen to her sweet talk."

What does discarding mean?

Right Prime Minister Du Sui knew very well that Song Jinxiu was good at sweet talk. As soon as she opened her mouth, he knew that things were going to go wrong and the plan would most likely fail.

Song Jinxiu: "Did I say this was fake? I admitted it all."

Everyone: "Yes, Princess, tell me, are there any other interpretations of these four maxims?"

"That's natural,"

Song Jinxiu glanced at Prince Yin, Du Sui and the others, "Since you all don't understand, today, I will explain it clearly."

Song Jinxiu climbed two steps and stood right in front of the emperor. Then she turned around abruptly, spreading her arms like an eagle spreading its wings. As she turned around, she brought up a gust of wind, demonstrating her unparalleled dominance and strength.

The sound of her infused spiritual energy resounded powerfully to every corner.

"Ren Zi and Gui Chou spread across the Dragon Crown, Jia Bing Wu Geng started a rebellion, the Qian Kun and Chu Yin emerged, and Cangwu could last for another hundred years.

This is just a bad fortune drawn by the late emperor when he cast the divinatory sticks, which is the Wuwang hexagram."

Everyone was shocked by her aura, and the square fell silent. Song Jinxiu continued, "After receiving this hexagram, the late emperor became restless and asked my master to come and interpret it.

My master took out the Xuanwu Armor, the treasure of my Xuantian Sect, and said to the late emperor: The appearance of the Xuanwu Armor only means the prosperity of the country.

The late emperor was hesitant because of the bad fortune he had drawn earlier. Your Majesty was six years old at the time and was by the late emperor's side, so the late emperor asked your six-year-old Majesty to cast the divinatory sticks for him.

Everyone: What about the matter concerning His Majesty?

Du Sui: It must be fabricated.
