She became a god

Chapter 362 Palace Coup

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Double Ninth Festival, a time of clear skies and crisp autumn air.

Ji Xunxi has been in a great mood lately. First, she saw off Li Xiuning, who tried to steal her boyfriend, last month. Second, she managed to get some spiritual fruit from the little panda a few days ago to give to her mother. Third, the emperor specially ordered her to organize this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.

Of the four seasons, autumn is the most important in the Jiang Kingdom.

Of all the flowers, the Jiang Kingdom loves chrysanthemums the most.

The chrysanthemum appreciation banquet on the Double Ninth Festival has always been organized by the Empress. The fact that Ji Xunxi was chosen this time is a manifestation of imperial favor and power.

If handled well, Ji Xunxi's reputation will naturally rise to a higher level.

Some people are riding high on success, while others remain stubbornly unenlightened.

I can't figure it out!

Wen Xichun found that she could understand Ye Qingzhou less and less!

Li Xiuning and Li Junjing clearly had no talent for cultivation whatsoever. At least Li Xiuning was a princess of a small country, while Li Junjing had nothing.

Why would Ye Qingzhou lend a helping hand to someone who has absolutely no use to him?

This... is so unlike Ye Qingzhou!

Surely Ye Qingzhou isn't really a benevolent demon who gives without expecting anything in return?

If that's the case, then what am I?

Does one give selflessly to others while ulterior motives towards oneself?

Suddenly, Wen Xichun took a swig of wine.

Looking up, I saw a crescent moon hanging high in the sky outside the window.

Wenxi Chun reached out and caught the moonlight; it was so cool!

I hate that the bright moon hangs high in the sky, yet it does not shine on me!

If the moon has abandoned me, why should I wait bitterly for it to shine on me?

My path needs no moonlight to illuminate it, yet I can travel ten thousand miles a day!

That night, Ji Xunxi held the little panda and listened silently to everyone's praise.

At the third quarter of the hour of Xu (7:45 PM), a palace coup occurred.

Crown Prince Yuan Baoshan staged a coup, and Yuan Zhan and Yuan Baoshi died on the spot in the Northwest. Countless other princes were also killed by a hail of arrows.

At the fifth quarter of the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), Grand Commandant Liu Chong and General Ji Bolun of Huaihua captured the rebel Yuan Baoshan and his army.

The following day, Empress Liu Jia usurped the throne, deposed Prince Yuan Baoshan, demoted him to commoner status, and sentenced him to death by slow slicing.

He posthumously honored Yuan Zhan with the temple name "Yingzong" and posthumously conferred upon Yuan Baoshi the title of Crown Prince Zhaowu.

On September 15th, Emperor Liu Jia appointed Yuan Baohua, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yingzong, as Crown Prince, and also recruited Dongfang Shu, the wife of Crown Prince Zhaowu, to serve as the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy.

After Yuan Baohua entered the Eastern Palace, he changed the surname of his only daughter and petitioned to appoint Gibran as the Crown Princess's husband and Yuan Xunxi as the Crown Prince's grandson.

In the side hall of Taihe Hall, Liu Jia glanced at the young man kneeling on the ground and said, "Are you really not going to regret it? If you are, I will swallow my pride and beg for another divine pill for you."

“Mother, I have no regrets. I no longer wanted to be a prince, and I do not regret drinking the poisoned wine for you. You are my mother, you gave me my life, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. Besides, if it weren’t for you, Mother, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have five years left.”

This young man was none other than the late Prince Zhaowu, Yuan Baoshi.

That day, he drank poisoned wine, but was saved by a divine beast.

The mythical beast said he could only live for five more years, but now he has lost his fertility and can no longer have sex.

If he had sexual intercourse, he might not even live for three more years.

For the first time, Yuan Baoshi felt fortunate that her beloved had never liked her, but instead devoted herself to music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

"Mother, call me Liu Shitou! I want to go to the frontier, I want to fight, I don't want to stay in the capital as a rich and idle prince!"

Liu Jia held back her tears and praised, "Good, my son has ambition!"

As Yuan Baoshi was leaving Taihe Hall, he was stopped by Dongfang Shu.

"Does Your Highness not want to leave me a single word?"

Yuan Baoshi said, "This humble general Liu Shitou greets Lord Dongfang."

Dongfang Shu sneered, "You married me without asking my opinion, and now you've faked your death to join the army without asking my opinion either. Yuan Baoshi, in your heart, am I just a puppet to be manipulated?"

"I...I didn't treat you as a puppet. In my heart, you're like a goddess, but..."

Seeing that Yuan Baoshi was stammering and couldn't get a clear answer, Dongfang Shu said angrily, "Enough! In the next life, I'll marry you and let you taste this feeling too."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Baoshi was overjoyed. "Great!"

He added, "You must marry me as your legal husband! Don't have too many other men..."

It would be even better if it were just him!

Seeing his smug expression annoyed Dongfang Shu, she realized she was wasting her breath and stormed off in anger.

September 20th is an auspicious day.

A young soldier named Liu Shitou and some specially selected female warriors went to the frontier.

The reason why some female warriors went to the frontier was naturally due to the suggestion of the little panda.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. For a female-dominated society to continue, a large number of women must be in the top military and political positions.

After all, Liu Shitou has the destiny of a general, and fighting against him will definitely broaden your horizons.

Generally speaking, the destiny of a general is more often associated with women.

However, the human world treats women too harshly. Most ordinary women are malnourished and short in stature, so how could any generals emerge from them?

Among the short men, choosing the best is the right thing to do, so let Liu Shitou take the lead first.

If female soldiers are to truly develop, it is necessary to hold military examinations and recruit more women into the army.

On October 15th, after many hardships, the imperial decree to establish a girls' school and recruit female officials was finally issued.

As for what the future of Jiang Guo will look like, Little Panda doesn't know either, because she's leaving.

Yuan Xunxi tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Wen Xichun abandoned you on the day of the palace coup. Why bother looking for her? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Jiang Kingdom?"

The red panda said, "I left because I wanted to leave."

The little panda couldn't find Feng Hui before, but she stayed because a woman needed her help. Now she's leaving because she's done helping everyone she could, and she'll soon find Feng Hui.

Nature has no reason to remain in the human world.

Oh!

We almost forgot one person!

"Little Panda Queen, don't abandon me!"

Seeing Li Junjing crying with tears in her eyes, the little panda comforted her, "I'm keeping you in Jiang Kingdom because you have your mission."

Li Junjing asked blankly, "What is my mission?"

"Let's carry forward and promote the tradition of castration!"

After saying that, the little panda gave Li Junjing a spiritual fruit, which gave her the cultivation level of the Qi Refining stage, and also gave her a high-grade Yellow-level cultivation technique. If Li Junjing had the talent, it wouldn't be a problem for her to cultivate to the Golden Core stage.

Li Junjing said loudly, "Little Panda Queen, rest assured, I will definitely carry forward the castration sect and never let you down!"

Yuan Xunxi asked, her eyes gleaming, "Zhouzhou, do I have one?"

The little panda glared at her and shouted, "No, no, that's right!"

Yuan Xunxi curled her lips, "Tsk, what a stingy little beast!"

Without saying a word, the red panda immediately ran away.

I could vaguely hear Yuan Xunxi's exclamation, but that didn't matter anymore.

Today's most important task is to find Feng Hui and eat the golden apple!

Golden apples, the most delicious fruit in the world!

I'm here!
