Junior sister took first place again

In the imperial city of Ningguo, the whole city was in mourning. White cloth was fluttering everywhere, and the people were all wearing plain clothes.

Although Ji Yuan's rebellion took place late at night, the noise was so loud that even those who were fast asleep were woken up early.

That night, no one in the capital dared to sleep after waking up. Whether they were from powerful families or ordinary people, everyone, young and old, gathered together, waiting for the final result.

After daybreak, countless court officials poured into the palace like a tide when they heard that the emperor had passed away, Ji Yuan had been killed, and the situation was controlled by the Fourth Prince.

Especially those who did not openly stand on the side, tried hard to recall whether they had offended the Fourth Prince.

Some royalists were skeptical about the timing of the Fourth Prince's appearance. Furthermore, Ji Yuan's head was easily taken by the Heart Demon amidst the vast enemy. If the Fourth Prince had such a capable person under his command, and had recommended him earlier or had him come earlier, His Majesty might not have...

Although the situation has basically settled down now, there is still a gap in the hearts of these people.

According to the Ningguo ancestral system, the coffin of the previous emperor must stay in the palace for 49 days before it can be buried in the imperial mausoleum, followed by the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.

But the situation in Ningguo is turbulent now, and in order to avoid any further complications, Xue Wuying and Xinmo will definitely not wait that long.

After Ji Yuan was killed, no one in the royal family could compete with Xue Wuying's power and reputation, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would become the next emperor.

Therefore, after the rebellion was quelled, Xue Wuying and his followers ordered the preparation of the funeral and the coronation ceremony at the same time on the grounds of stabilizing the situation. No one in the court dared to object, and the coronation ceremony was held seven days later.

Today is the seventh day that Xue Wuying has been keeping vigil for the late emperor, but due to a series of follow-up issues left by Ji Yuan, most of the time he just comes to burn a stick of incense before going back to hunt down the rebels and eliminate the rebel forces.

Xue Wuying lamented that state affairs were too complicated and he could not fulfill his filial duties to the late emperor, so he asked all his brothers and uncles to enter the palace and mourn before the late emperor's spirit for forty-nine days to embody loyalty and filial piety.

Ning Jiasheng listened to the news reported by the people in the Ningguo stronghold, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, frowning, and secretly wondering what his success rate was in sneaking into the palace and killing Xue Wuying.

After thinking hard for a while, he finally shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Tsk, trouble."

With the inner demon and that biased sword, killing him now is harder than climbing to the sky.

Ning Jiasheng had no other choice but to wait for the coronation ceremony tomorrow. She looked at the person in front of her and asked:

"Is everyone here?"

The man quickly replied, "We are all here, resting at the inn. What instructions does the master have?"

Ning Jiasheng nodded slightly: "That's good, everything is fine. We will proceed according to the plan tomorrow. Let's go down and prepare."

The man responded, bowed respectfully, and then disappeared.

The next day, the city was still shrouded in mourning, but it couldn't mask the joy in the air. Although it was a period of national mourning, the ascension of a new emperor was a cause for celebration.

Ning Jiasheng stood on the upper floor of a building facing the street, watching envoys from various countries heading towards the palace. Her figure flashed like a ghost, and she sneaked into the palace first.

At this time, in the Ningguo Palace, Xue Wuying's coronation ceremony was in full swing. The sound of salutes, bells and drums, and congratulations were endless, and the entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and solemnity.

However, the coronation ceremony was long and complicated. Xue Wuying had already taken civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices, so he was not in the palace at the moment, which made it convenient for Ning Jiasheng to make some arrangements in the palace.

however--

Before Ning Jiasheng could make a move, she saw the inner demon that had appeared across from her. Like a venomous snake, its cold pupils stared at her. When he saw her looking over, he smiled faintly and said, "My little beauty, you finally came."
