A genius girl with her own space

Hu Boyuan was watching from the sky, not coming down, to see how they would deal with the old emperor.

The man in black took off the mask on his head. "Father, let me be frank. I want you to write a letter of abdication, and I will become the emperor of the Great Zhou. I don't think the prince's ambition lies elsewhere. Please grant my wish! I don't want to wait any longer. Your health is getting better and better, and I can't wait any longer."

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have wandered off to who knows where, and they have no intention of governing the Great Zhou. It has been us brothers who have been running the country all these years. "Father, there is no need to struggle any longer. If you don't agree, I will kill all your secret guards and the old steward who has been with you for so many years. I will kill them one by one until you agree."

He still didn't know Zhou Jingze and Qiqi were back. Neither of them had made any public appearances since their return. Even the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't know they were back.

"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. Jingze asked me to choose one of you brothers to inherit the throne. Are you so anxious? Is this how you treat father? You even poisoned me. Are you hoping that father will die now? You don't even want the decree of succession." The old emperor was dealing with his fifth son. He was hoping that Jingze and Qiqi would come and catch them.

Hu Boyuan watched as he sent a message to Qiqi and Zhou Jingze. They had already received a report from the secret guards that something was amiss in the palace, and several of the Crown Prince's secret guards were already monitoring it. They hadn't intervened, waiting for Zhou Jingze and Qiqi to resolve the situation. The two messages arrived simultaneously, and they both instantly appeared in mid-air, spotting Hu Boyuan.

"Brother, how is our father? Thank you for watching over them." Qiqi said.

"They didn't hurt anyone, so I didn't try to stop them and waited for you to deal with them. But they have a poison master, and you got their idea, so they poisoned the guards. I heard your father say that it was his fifth son. He is such a piece of shit that he dared to threaten the old emperor to write him a decree of succession. Humph, he doesn't want to live anymore." Hu Boyuan said.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze were relieved to know their father was alright. Zhou Jingze waved, and the leader of the secret guards came forward. Qiqi gave him some high-level detoxification pills and told them to rescue the guards first, then have them summon the ministers to the palace to see the emperor.

The leader of the secret guards took the order and left. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze landed in the emperor's bedroom. The old emperor was relieved when he saw them coming.

"Fifth brother, what do you want to do? You poisoned our father. You are worse than an animal." Zhou Jingze went up and slapped the fifth brother in the face. He didn't even try to dodge. He immediately pressed his acupuncture points.

Lao Wu instantly stopped moving. The poison expert next to him sprinkled a handful of poison at Qiqi and Zhou Jingze. Zhou Jingze flicked his sleeves, and the poison instantly flew in front of him, knocking out the black-clad men behind them, and they all fell to the ground with a thud.

When the poison master saw that he failed to poison the two of them and poisoned his own people, he panicked and wanted to retreat and run away.

Qiqi had no way of getting his way. She took out the poison she had developed and threw it at him, instantly bringing the poisoner to his knees. He was then given a taste of the pain of a thousand swords piercing his heart. There are always higher mountains than the one above, and harming others will only harm yourself.

The poisoner lay on the ground, writhing in pain. Zhou Jingze, annoyed by his howling, stepped forward and pressed his mute point. Instantly, the bedroom fell silent.

Qiqi hurried forward to check on her father. "Father, where are you hurt? Let me take a look." She stepped forward to feel her father's pulse. The old emperor's poison had been partially resolved, apparently from the antidote she had given him.

"Qiqi, I'm fine. You go check on the old butler and the secret guards first. They have all been poisoned." The old emperor is still concerned about others.

Qiqi took out a detoxification pill and gave it to her father first. She then gave Zhou Jingze a few more pills and asked him to give them to the others in the hall. She then walked over to the old steward and gave him a detoxification pill. Then she helped the old emperor to his feet and had him sit on the throne.

After a while, the old steward and the eunuchs in the main hall woke up. They saw the Crown Prince and Crown Princess and wanted to greet them. Zhou Jingze waved his hand. They also saw the black-clad men lying on the ground. They stepped forward and tied them up, waiting for the old emperor's decision.

When Lao Wu saw that the situation was hopeless, he stopped talking and kept silent. No matter what was asked of him, he refused to answer.

The old emperor was furious and threw him into death row. He arrested the entire royal palace and was scheduled to be executed at the Meridian Gate the next day. All the ministers who had submitted to him had their property confiscated and were all exiled to the frontier. All the officials in the court were trembling with fear, afraid of being implicated.

The man in black who had poisoned the people was taken to the Meridian Gate and executed by slow slicing. Twenty other men in black were also beheaded.

Soon, the court returned to peace and the princes were all at peace.

Qiqi also thanked her senior brother. The old emperor wanted to give Hu Boyuan some rewards, but he refused them. He had many treasures of his own, so how could he be interested in these things from the human world?

After this incident, the old emperor had aged a lot. Among the princes he favored were the fifth and eighth princes.

That day, he summoned Zhou Jingze and Qiqi to discuss giving the throne to the Eighth Prince, who was both civil and military, and kind-hearted. As early as Qiqi and Zhou Jingze's wedding, the Eighth Prince had a good impression of Qiqi's wife and often came to the Prince's Mansion to eat Qiqi's cooking and had also eaten Qiqi's barbecue.

His character hasn't changed at all over the years. Zhou Jingze and Qiqi both have high hopes for him. Who are they? If you can't tell who's good and who's bad, then there's no point in going to the Immortal Realm.

These days, Zhou Jingze has also summoned his eighth brother to the Crown Prince's residence to guide his cultivation. He wants him to become stronger as quickly as possible, so he can stand on his own. Qiqi also gave him some elixirs to increase his cultivation. He wants him to improve himself as quickly as possible, so that he can quickly control the Great Zhou, and they can leave with peace of mind.

The old emperor was very pleased to see Jingze's good intentions. "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Just take care of yourself in the future. Just don't cause trouble for Qiqi and the others."

The old steward has been training successors these days to serve the next emperor. He also hinted to these disciples that they should intensify their training and improve their cultivation so that they would be qualified to stand by the emperor's side and protect them.

Zhou Jingze also assigned a dozen of his own secret guards and those trained in Lingxiao Sect to follow his eighth brother to protect him. This was also a chance for him to build up his own strength.

The Eighth Prince lived up to the expectations of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, quickly establishing his own secret guard battalion. His cultivation also advanced by two realms. His own secret guards were no longer able to defeat him, and now held him in high esteem.
