After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife asked for forgiveness

at this time.

In the main hall.

As time got closer, Ye Shaoqing became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the hall.

In the past, the ceremonies were all presided over by my grandfather, but now his life or death is unknown.

His father was the temporary head of the family and had been missing for such a long time. How could he, a young boy with little experience of the world, be able to handle such a grand occasion!

Moreover, Ye Badao's clan is eyeing him covetously and may kill him at any time.

"Young Master, you'd better get ready quickly. You are the only descendant of Emperor Ye at home. We can't let Ye Badao take charge." Eunuch Gao on the side bowed and persuaded.

The more he was urged, the more nervous Ye Shaoqing became.

Even with Ye Xinyi around, he still had some confidence, but now...

"No, my father will definitely come back on time, just wait a little longer."

"Ugh!"

Eunuch Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "Young Master Shao Qing, in order not to affect your mood, this old servant has concealed one thing from you. Patriarch Wujiu will not be returning."

"what?"

Ye Shaoqing's body shook.

Eunuch Wei immediately knelt down, not daring to look up. "To be honest, on the day Patriarch Wujiu disappeared, his guards reported to me that they were worshipping at the West Hill when they encountered members of the Dragon Clan and suffered heavy losses. Patriarch Wujiu was captured by the Dragon Clan."

boom!

Ye Shaoqing was struck by a bolt from the blue.

Got taken away?

His father was captured by Longmen?

Looking across Daxia, apart from Ye Badao's men, who would dare to touch his father? If he was captured by Longmen, it was very likely that Ye Badao bribed Longmen.

If this were true, his father would surely die.

"How could this be?"

"Ah...how could this happen?"

Ye Shaoqing was already nervous, and now when he heard the news of his father's death, he completely collapsed.

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "Young Master Shao Qing, you are the only one who can preside over the ceremony now. You must be strong. Don't worry, we will definitely protect you."

Ye Shaoqing took a long time to come back to his senses, and shook his head with a sneer, "Protect? How can you protect him? Ye Badao is a martial arts master. Can you two defeat him together? Can your manpower defeat the Far East Army's 150,000-man army?"

He became more and more discouraged as he spoke.

suddenly!

"Boom!"

"Dong dong dong..."

The deep sound of the bell spread throughout the Ye Palace, extremely heavy!

One ring, two rings, three rings.

There were nine rings in total!

It indicates that a grand ceremony is about to begin.

Although Ye Shaoqing was afraid, after learning of his father's death, he knew that he was the only one who could rely on his grandfather's lineage.

As a descendant of the Ye family, he had no choice.

Suddenly, a look of determination appeared in Ye Shaoqing's eyes.

"Okay, change for me!"

Upon hearing this, the two eunuchs immediately took out a black silk robe and put it on him.

After putting on heavy clothes, Ye Shaoqing's whole temperament changed, and he looked more mature and steady.

Immediately afterwards, led by the two eunuchs, Ye Shaoqing slowly walked out of the hall.

"The auspicious time has come!"

"Emperor Ye is ill and unable to preside over the ceremony. Now, Ye Shaoqing, a descendant of the Ye family, will preside over the ceremony. Everyone below the altar, please take your seats and observe silence!"

A eunuch's voice sounded.

Suddenly, thousands of dignitaries in the Temple of Heaven Square stopped talking and fell silent.

Everyone looked towards the direction of the hall.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Shaoqing calmed himself down and walked out slowly. Behind him followed two rows of eunuchs and maids, all of whom were extremely solemn.

"Meet Young Master Ye!"

"Meet Young Master Ye!"

"Meet Young Master Ye!"

"..."

On the Temple of Heaven, everyone bowed and saluted.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Shaoqing walked down the steps and headed towards the altar.

Under the guidance of the ritual officer, Ye Shaoqing, on behalf of the head of the Ye family, led the descendants of the Ye family to begin the altar ceremony.

Step one: The eunuchs in charge of ceremonies sang praises to "welcome the gods"; Step two: The musicians played "The Chapter of Shiping"; Step three: Ye Shaoqing led the descendants of the Ye family to perform the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the gods in heaven.

After completing these three steps, Ye Shaoqing placed the jade disk and silk on the altar, and then knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.

Then, the music "Jingping Chapter" was played.

This step-by-step process was extremely complicated and tedious. Everyone in the audience looked pious and no one dared to speak out.

The real successor ceremony was about to begin. Tang Ruoxue looked around nervously, hoping to find Old Lady Ye.

But the strange thing is that she was not seen in the worship team or anywhere else.

"What's going on? Why hasn't the old lady come yet?" Tang Ruoxue became more and more anxious. The core of her plan was the old lady. If the old lady was present, she believed that she would definitely succeed.

However, if the old lady was not there, facing so many doubts, neither she nor Wu Siren would be able to keep the situation under control.

"Now, come to the table!"

Eunuch Gao's voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen eunuchs carried the slaughtered animals to the altar and placed them in front of the altar.

At this time, music sounded, and Ye Shaoqing once again led the descendants of the Ye family to perform three kneelings and nine kowtows.

After the offering of the sacrificial altar is completed, the first offering ceremony will be performed, praying for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and finally sending off the gods!

A series of tedious processes are completed.

Next is the Ceremony of Successors.

"Everyone!"

"I am grateful to all the great families for their kindness in attending the succession ceremony of my Ye family. I, Ye Shaoqing, will preside over the ceremony on behalf of the head of the Ye family."

“I believe you all know that my Ye family’s ancestral legacy can only be inherited by the eldest son and grandson.”

"Unfortunately, our eldest son, Ye Wudi, murdered his compatriots and was expelled from the Ye family, where he died. And our grandson, Ye Feng, disappeared twenty years ago and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day! But our Ye family cannot be without a head for even a day."

"Today, by the will of Heaven, a day is chosen to select a successor!"

Ye Shaoqing's tone was extremely bitter when he said the last sentence.

All his uncles were stationed at the frontier. The most suitable person for the position of head of the family was his father Ye Wujiu, but he was also missing.

He is the only one left in his family now.

But he just doesn't like being bound, and he doesn't like pressure, and he has no intention of being the head of the family.

Holding a succession ceremony now is simply a joke.

"Emperor Ye has not yet come out of seclusion, so we should not rush into matters of succession!" Suddenly, an old man spoke.

In fact, everyone could guess that Ye Huang was dead. They just wanted to buy time for Ye Wushuang and other princes.

Wait for Ye Wushuang and other descendants to come back and inherit the position of head of the family.

"That's right. We have to wait until the temporary head of the family comes back before we can make a decision. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace."

"I agree!"

"I second the motion!"

One by one, loyalists began to make suggestions.

In their hearts, they only recognize the lineage of Emperor Ye and will not allow anyone else to usurp the throne.

Hearing someone say this, Ye Shaoqing immediately agreed, "Yes, today's ceremony ends here. The matter of the successor will be decided after my father returns."

at this time.

A deep voice suddenly appeared from the audience, "I object."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chengpeng, holding a long banner, slowly walked up to the Temple of Heaven and came in front of Ye Shaoqing.
