Chapter 217 The Throne of the Empress
Taking advantage of the break in everyone's meal, Shen Qingge walked over to Grandma Hua and sat down again, saying softly:
"Grandma Hua, to be honest, I just happened to be attacked by several assassins from the West Moon Country today.
So I can't help but feel a little suspicious and wary about your and the children's sudden visit.
And right now I am very distressed because I cannot get the latest information about Xiyue Country!
If you know even a little bit of news or information about the West Moon Nation, I hope you can tell me without reservation."
When saying this, Shen Qingge's eyes, as clear as water, were full of earnestness.
When Grandma Hua heard this, her expression changed drastically. She hurriedly placed the chopsticks she was holding on the table, her face filled with anxiety and concern. She asked hurriedly:
"Oh my God! How could such a thing happen?
"My dear, are you injured? Let me take a good look at you!"
As she spoke, Grandma Hua couldn't wait to get closer to Shen Qingge and look at him carefully in the dim flickering candlelight.
You don’t know until you see it. Grandma Hua was really scared when she saw it.
Shen Qingge's fair face, slender neck, and even hands were covered with several wounds, some large and some small.
The wounds varied in depth, and some were still oozing blood.
Shen Qingge just smiled faintly, as if he didn't care.
She responded softly:
"Grandma Hua, don't worry too much, these are just minor injuries, nothing serious.
But the group of people I met today were really weird, and they didn't have good intentions.
I wonder if you, Grandma Hua, have heard of these people?"
Then, Shen Qingge described the appearance and characteristics of that group of people in detail.
“There were four of them traveling together, three men and one woman.
The outfits of these four people were extremely bizarre. The leader was a one-eyed man with a half-mask on his face; the other one looked like a jade-faced scholar with a womanly voice;
The other was a bald, large man with a sturdy build; and the last woman was charming and alluring, skilled at controlling a flock of colorful, poisonous butterflies.
After hearing Shen Qingge's words, everyone present suddenly froze.
The children had different expressions, some shrank back in fear, while others showed strong hatred.
Grandma Hua's eyes were also filled with worry, and she asked:
"Then... where are they now? Are they coming back to cause trouble again?"
Faced with Grandma Hua's worries, Shen Qingge remained calm.
She raised her head slightly and said in an unusually calm tone:
"Don't worry, Grandma Hua. I've already taken care of them all!"
The tone was as if what she just said was not a thrilling life-and-death battle, but just an ordinary little thing.
Hearing this, Grandma Hua's tense heartstrings relaxed a little and she let out a long sigh.
The children sitting nearby all looked at Shen Qingge with gratitude and admiration.
But Grandma Hua was still worried. She said with concern:
"My dear young master, although your abilities are already very impressive, I still feel it is necessary to remind you to be more careful!
These guys were originally the capable generals under Queen Shi, with great martial arts skills and special abilities!
I really don’t know how many shameful and dirty things they did for the cruel Queen Shi in the past!
Moreover, they are the culprits who killed the parents of these poor children!
We have a blood feud!
Who would have thought that they would now point the finger at you? They acted so quickly!
But think about it, if even an old woman like me knows about you, how could those people with so many eyes and ears and minions everywhere not know about you?"
When the name "Queen Shi" was mentioned, Shen Qingge couldn't help but frown slightly and asked:
"So, who is this Queen Shi?
Why does it sound like it has a close connection with us?"
Grandma Hua sighed softly and replied in a heavy tone:
"In fact, I didn't want to mention this person to you, for fear of arousing more resentment and hatred in your heart.
After all, these are the grievances left over from the previous generation.
This Queen Shi is your mother's stepmother.
If she hadn't deliberately supported the power of her mother's family, the court would have become chaotic and turbulent.
The Xiyue Kingdom will not be destroyed when invaded by foreign countries.
Later, a burning ambition ignited in her heart, and she was determined to ascend the throne of empress.
But how could those old ministers who had assisted the previous dynasty and the powerful aristocratic families agree so easily?
Faced with numerous obstacles, she became more ruthless and determined.
To achieve her goals, she would do anything to achieve them. In recent years, she has begun to eliminate those who stand in her way.
I'm afraid that the entire royal bloodline of the Feng family will be wiped out by her!"
"Then, why does Queen Shi keep looking for the Seven Treasures Glazed Ring? What is it for?" Shen Qingge asked in confusion.
"Young Master, you actually know about this Seven Treasures Glazed Ring?
Come to think of it... the princess finally passed it to you!
To be honest, at first I thought the princess would never act like this!"
"My mother didn't specifically pass this ring down to me. I just happened to find it while sorting through her belongings, and by chance, I activated it with my blood."
Grandma Hua sighed when she heard this:
“Alas… maybe everything is destined.
Back when our Xiyue Kingdom was first established, we were blessed by heaven and given divine power, which we used to forge this unique seven-treasure glazed ring.
From then on, a woman of pure blood and chastity would be selected in each generation to guard the ring, and she would be called the Saint.
As long as one has the Saint by his side, it is equivalent to mastering the mysterious divine power, and it is said that one can rightfully ascend the supreme throne."
“However, not every saint possesses extraordinary divine power. All they can do is activate this ring.
If we are unfortunately held hostage by the rebels, the consequences will be disastrous and may even lead to a catastrophe."
Grandma Hua paused for a moment and then continued:
"Your mother went through countless hardships and suffered a lot in order to protect this extremely precious ring.
I remember she once told me that if possible, she would find a way to destroy this ring and never let it pass to future generations..."
After hearing this, Shen Qingge finally understood the whole story:
“So that’s the reason!
In my opinion, the reason Queen Shi is so eager to get hold of this Seven Treasures Glazed Ring is probably because she wants to use the powerful divine power it contains to help her ascend the throne of Empress!"
