C157

Xuanyuan Zhiling's order to ascend the throne had already been given, the entire imperial court was in an uproar.

The ascension of the new emperor to the throne was an important matter of Phantom Fire Kingdom, so naturally, the old officials of the court could not stand idly by and watch. But Xuanyuan Zhiling was also not someone to be trifled with, he had long since set his eyes on the Hundred Might General Song You, who was opposed to his ascension to the throne.

As the day of ascension neared, Xuanyuan Zhiling's dragon robe was already placed on him, and he only needed to wait for tomorrow to enter the main palace. However, Xuanyuan Zhiling was the clearest at this time. The Hundred Might General Song You would never let him become the emperor so easily, because he had always strongly opposed it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this humble subject requests that the Emperor consider carefully. Do you really want to pass the position of Emperor to the Fourth Prince?"

General Baiwei was famous for being a stubborn old man among the ministers in the imperial court. He would insist on what he said even if it meant death. In his words, it was as if he had just swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The emperor wasn't surprised, because he already knew that Song You wouldn't agree to pass on the throne to Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"Then according to the meaning of General Baiwei, which prince should I pass the throne to?"

The emperor smiled lightly, as though he had already thought of a way to deal with Song You.

"In this old official's opinion, the Fifth Prince is more suited to inherit the throne. The Fourth Prince is arrogant and despotic, I'm afraid …"

Song You said with a face full of determination, and his eyes flashed with a trace of determination.

"But I've made him a Crown Prince since early this morning. If he doesn't pass on the throne to the Crown Prince, can he still be passed on to anyone else?"

The emperor said indifferently with a complicated expression on his face.

"But Your Majesty, are you really willing to give up the throne so early?"

Song You this old official was not only stubborn, he was also extremely smart. He was well aware of the emperor's thoughts.

"How do you know I'm not satisfied? It's only a matter of time before you abdicate and I want to rest as well. "

The king sighed as he spoke and turned away tiredly.

"But can the Fourth Prince really handle the imperial government well?"

When Song You said till here, his face was filled with worry, as if he was worried about the nation and the people.

Hearing that, the emperor laughed lightly and turned to look at Song You.

"That is the matter of the new Emperor. When you go to court tomorrow, report this matter to the new Emperor."

With that, the emperor turned and left, leaving behind an unconvinced Song You.

The enthronement ceremony came as scheduled. Xuanyuan Zhiling finally donned the long awaited Dragon Robe and became the emperor of the Phantom Fire Kingdom.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, for all eternity!"

Eunuch Li stood beside the Dragon Throne and shouted loudly, while Xuanyuan Zhiling walked towards him, step by step.

Xuanyuan Zhiling walked very steadily with each step because he could feel the weight of the dragon robe on his body. He knew that the fate of the entire Phantom Fire Kingdom would be in his hands in the future.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, proclaim the imperial edict!"

When Eunuch Li said till here, the imperial edict was already in his hands, and he began to read the Emperor's edict.

"Our dragon body is getting more and more inappropriate, so we have to hand over the throne to Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zhiling, and hope that he will do his best to support us, and not let our guard down."

After the imperial edict had been read, Xuanyuan Zhiling sat calmly on the dragon throne.

"This subject congratulates the new emperor on his ascension to the throne. Long live and long live the King!"

All of the court officials kneeled down and kowtowed to Xuanyuan Zhiling, but there was one person who stood amongst the group of officials with a smelly face.

"Hmm? Baiwei General Song You, why didn't you kneel? "

Even though Xuanyuan Zhiling was unhappy in his heart, he still maintained his calm and the demeanor of an emperor.

"Humph, forgive me for my bluntness, but I feel that the Fourth Prince is not suitable to be this emperor."

Song You's mouth was always open, but when he said these words, it had already caused a stir in the imperial court.

"Oh? Then who does General Baiwei think is more suitable to be the emperor? "

Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice was extremely cold, it even carried a bit of killing intent, causing the hundred officials and officials in the imperial court to not even dare to breathe.

"This old official did not mean to offend you, I am just speaking frankly."

General Song You knew very well that he had angered Xuanyuan Zhiling, hence his tone had become slightly gentler.

"Today is the day I ascend the throne. I shouldn't have punished you in this hall, but …"

After saying that, Xuanyuan Zhiling paused, and instantly, the entire imperial court burst into an uproar.

"This subject was straightforward to begin with, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Even though Song You had always been direct and straightforward, after offending such a ruthless person like Xuanyuan Zhiling, he knew that he had to restrain himself.

"Fine, today you openly contradict His Majesty in the great hall. I don't want to kill too many people on such a good day, not to mention that you're an old official of the imperial court, so naturally you can't just kill him."

As he spoke till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling looked past Song You, and saw that Qin Feng was walking in step by step according to the hour.

Her long skirt was gliding across the great hall, leaving behind a burst of praising sounds.

"My empress has come. This matter shall be decided by my empress after she is conferred the title of empress, right?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling only said that but he had an idea in his mind.

Qin Feng smiled sweetly, walked up the steps, and arrived in front of Xuanyuan Zhiling. With an elegant turn of her body, her two hands elegantly gripped onto her Orchid Finger as she floated in the air, as if she was a motherly being that governed the world.

Under the greetings of the crowd, Qin Feng successfully sat on the throne of the Queen.

"Long live the empress! Long live the empress! Long live the empress!"

Facing the hundreds officials' congratulations, Qin Feng could only give a dignified smile, and then her gaze shifted to General Baiwei, who was standing in the middle of the officials.

"Your majesty, as chenqie sees it, today is the grand day for you to ascend to the throne. It's best that you don't be unhappy."

Qin Feng knew that although this Song You was straightforward, she did not commit a great crime. Therefore, she only needed to lock Song You up.

"What about Empress Yi?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, his eyes full of love as he looked at Qin Feng's small smooth and clean face.

"Causing trouble during the inauguration ceremony should be locked up in the prison."

Qin Feng's face suddenly became cold. She had already given way to this Song You, because previously, Qin Feng already knew that this Song You would always stop him, but without any success.

"Hmph, then this old subject thanks the empress for not killing me."

The last words Song You said before he was escorted into the dungeon was something he was not willing to back down.

The inauguration ceremony ended without a hitch. Other than this small episode, there were no other mistakes.

Xuanyuan Zhiling officially entered the main palace. The Endless Harmony Hall and study room that was used for the emperor to rest previously were now Xuanyuan Zhiling's territory.

"How does it feel to be a queen?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng with a smiling face, her eyes filled with love.

Qin Feng only smiled faintly upon hearing this. Actually, she didn't care about the position of Empress at all. The most important thing was that she could be together with Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"The feeling is not bad, but sometimes, it is still a bit difficult to take care of the harem."

After saying all that, Qin Feng sighed softly, a trace of helplessness appearing on her face.

"You think it's too tiring to care about the harem? You must know that you're the only one in the harem right now. "

Xuanyuan Zhiling intentionally made an appearance of being wronged and said.

"But there are many maids and servants in the harem. I have to take care of everything."

Saying that, Qin Feng unwillingly pouted her lips.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, his mouth hooked up into a smile: "Then take a look, do you want me to find someone to help you?"

Qin Feng was slightly startled, and immediately after, her face became extremely unsightly.

"You want someone to help you? Then I'll just let her be the empress! "

Qin Feng was so angry that she wanted to throw her hands and leave, but she was pulled back fiercely by Xuanyuan Zhiling and pulled into her embrace.

"If you don't want to do it now, it's too late."

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed sinisterly, and when he said till here, he used even more force to hug Qin Feng's arm, causing Qin Feng to be unable to breathe.

"Don't think that I won't dare to leave you just because you're the emperor right now."

Qin Feng raised her eyebrows, and threatened with a chuckle.

"If you dare to try walking, I will find you even if you have to dig three feet into the ground."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a smile, his expression carrying a little bit of danger. Qin Feng slightly froze, as a bit of coldness appeared in his expression.

"Right now, you have even more power. Naturally, I will not be able to escape from your grasp. However, my life and death are in my hand."

Qin Feng said indifferently, but it caused Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression to become ugly.

"You want to force me to death again? This trick will not work because I will not give you the chance to leave me. "

Xuanyuan Zhiling raised his chin, complex emotions flickering in his eyes.

As he shook off Xuanyuan Zhiling's hands and thought of what Xuanyuan Zhiling had just said, Qin Feng's anger unconsciously rose up from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't worry, I'll only have you as my empress in this lifetime, and you'll always be the only one in the harem. I don't want any other women anymore."

As Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his eyes stared straight at Qin Feng, but the certainty in his eyes moved Qin Feng.

"This is for the best. Otherwise, I will deal with you!"

Qin Feng held onto Xuanyuan Zhiling's neck, as if she wanted to kill Xuanyuan Zhiling, and threatened playfully.

"What I, the emperor, did was not as powerful as you, the empress. What's the point of being the emperor?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling complained with unspeakable pain.

"You don't want to be the emperor. There are a lot of people who do."

Qin Feng rolled her eyes at Xuanyuan Zhiling as she blandly said.

Unknowingly, Qin Feng had already become the empress of this world, and Xuanyuan Zhiling had also become the person with the most authority in the Phantom Fire Kingdom. However, inexplicably, Qin Feng felt a sense of loss in her heart.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? "

Xuanyuan Zhiling noted that something was amiss with Qin Feng and frowned.

"You're the emperor now, and no one can control you anymore. I keep feeling that …"

Qin Feng's face revealed a complex expression, but Xuanyuan Zhiling could still tell that she was worried.

"Do you always think that I would disappoint you?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling asked somewhat displeased. His fingers pinched Qin Feng's white and tender chin, and his eyes had a sharp glint of light that closely stuck to Qin Feng's body.

This kind of fatal suppressive feeling made it difficult for Qin Feng to breathe, but she still maintained a calm expression on her face.

"Do you really promise that you will only love me alone forever? No matter how many beauties try to seduce you, you will not be tempted? "

Qin Feng opened her eyes wide and stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling, as if only Xuanyuan Zhiling could promise him anything.

"I can guarantee that I will only love you alone, but I cannot guarantee that I will only marry you."

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, he let out a soft sigh.

The answer that Qin Feng hoped for did not appear, but when she heard it, her face immediately turned cold, and she stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling with a complicated expression.

"Why? Didn't you say that you only love me? "Then why did you marry another woman?"

Qin Feng could not understand Xuanyuan Zhiling's answer, and asked with furrowed brows and a questioning tone.

Xuanyuan Zhiling's gaze moved away from Qin Feng's body and looked out of the window, her expression somewhat complicated.

"It's like I don't love Wen Yahan, but I almost married her. What I said was the same logic, as the emperor, there are many things that he can't necessarily decide for himself."

As Xuanyuan Zhiling spoke, his expression grew a little colder.

"But now that you're the emperor, can't you control your own happiness?"

Her beautiful brows were tightly locked together. Could it be that she, Qin Feng, was the only one left by his side?

Was she going to share a husband with other women even though she was a queen?

Qin Feng shook her head firmly. She really didn't dare to imagine such a scene, she didn't want to fight with other women every single day, and she didn't want to have to wait for Xuanyuan Zhiling's fortune in the room every single day. She also didn't want to compete with other women to see who would give birth to the dragon for Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"Being an emperor isn't such a simple thing. Many things can't be helped. If marrying a woman can easily achieve my goal, do you think I should marry or not?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said as he stared at Qin Feng with mixed emotions.

In his heart, Xuanyuan Zhiling yearned for Qin Feng's tolerance, but he also felt that he had let down Qin Feng.
