Chapter 475 The Throne Ceremony
Chapter 475 The Throne Ceremony
"Someone, help me check if this person has seven moles connected together on the soles of his feet!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Upon receiving the order, Ling Chu walked towards the ice coffin and carefully removed the man's shoes.
Seeing Ling Chu's furrowed brow during the examination, the princess couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"how?"
She asked impatiently.
After completing the inspection, Ling Chu came to the Princess.
"Your Highness, this person does not have a seven-star birthmark on his feet!"
"Oh!"
Upon hearing that he was not the prince consort, the princess instantly dropped the sword she was gripping.
She looked at Shen Bazhi, "He... he really is Ruan Jinpeng?"
"Your Highness, this is the key to Ruan Jinpeng's secret chamber that he gave me before he died. Inside is the truth you want to know."
If you still don't believe me, you can go in and take a look..."
Watching the Princess resolutely walk into the secret room, Liu Shuning's eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Yan'er, don't worry, the Princess will acknowledge you!"
Upon hearing Shen Bazhi's words, Liu Shuning coldly raised her eyes.
"It doesn't matter whether she acknowledges me or not. The most important thing is that she can't go against you, Brother Shen. Ideally, she should support you in defeating Lu Hanting and seizing the world."
Brother Shen, is Yan'er right?
Hearing her words, Shen Bazhi raised his hand and touched her smooth little face.
"Yan'er, you're only half right."
Brother Shen did this so that you could return to the Princess's side and reclaim the title of Princess that rightfully belongs to you!
Instead of letting the imposter obtain everything that doesn't belong to her..."
Soon, the eldest princess emerged from the secret chamber.
Looking at Liu Shuning, who was staring at her coldly, the princess sighed.
In Ruan Jinpeng's secret room, the eldest princess learned the truth about the whole thing.
She also learned that Yan'er's disappearance sixteen years ago was orchestrated by Ruan Jinpeng to avenge her cold treatment of him and to take revenge on her father, the Emperor.
She looked at Liu Shuning, her heart filled with self-reproach.
If she had sent someone to investigate earlier, Yan'er probably wouldn't have suffered so much.
"Yan'er, are you holding a grudge against me?"
"Hold a grudge?"
Liu Shuning scoffed.
"You are the eldest princess of the Great Wei Dynasty, a powerful ruler who commands 300,000 troops and is feared by all. How could Yan'er dare to hold a grudge against you?"
Hearing her sarcastic words, the princess turned pale.
"Yan'er, it's my fault, it's my fault."
"Just name your conditions, and as long as it's within your mother's power, I will definitely make it up to you..."
"compensate?"
Liu Shuning glanced coldly at the eldest princess, then looked at the man in the ice coffin with resentment.
"I will tear him apart by five horses, so that even in death he will not rest in peace!"
If it weren't for Ruan Jinpeng, I wouldn't have been taken away from the Princess's residence, and I wouldn't be in this predicament now...
She should have been a noble princess in the Great Wei Dynasty, enjoying a life free from worries about food and clothing.
As a result, she lost her life of wealth because of the person in front of her.
Looking at the person sleeping peacefully in the ice coffin, Liu Shuning's eyes revealed deep hatred.
But what she hated even more was the eldest princess who kept offering to make amends to her.
But Shen Bazhi said that they now need to rely on the Eldest Princess to get rid of Lu Hanting, so even though she dislikes the Eldest Princess, she has to endure it.
Upon hearing Liu Shuning's request, the princess looked at the man in the ice coffin.
"What, are you feeling sorry for him?"
After all, he was a man she had slept with; was the princess reluctant to part with him?
Seeing the princess hesitate, Liu Shuning's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
"No, he killed your father. I only feel hatred for him, not pity..."
Her hesitation stemmed from the feeling that what Yan'er was doing seemed a bit too cruel.
However, just as Yan'er said, Ruan Jinpeng was the biggest culprit who caused the separation of the mother and daughter. He also killed the prince consort he deeply loved. Even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be a pity.
"Yan'er, I promise you!"
Beijing.
Since Wu Weiwei left with her men that day, Lu Hanting's men have completely taken over the capital.
Even though he was condemned by the people for treason and usurpation, it did not affect his determination to ascend the throne.
"Your Highness, I have already sent invitations to various countries for your coronation ceremony in ten days."
Aside from Qingwu Kingdom, the other two countries have already responded. Do you think we should also send a separate invitation to Aunt Wu?
"No need..."
Since Wu Weiwei doesn't care about him, why should he shamelessly beg her?
Seeing the prince's restrained expression, Liu Yun's lips twitched.
Then he chimed in, "That's right! This Aunt Wu is so ungrateful."
"When the Crown Prince conquers the world one day, she will regret it..."
As she spoke, Ru Feng took out the invitation she had prepared.
"Then, Your Highness, I will tear up this alternate invitation..."
"stop!"
Just as Liu Yun was about to destroy the invitation in his hand, Lu Hanting quickly stopped him.
"Your Highness, what's wrong...?"
Liu Yun carefully observed his master's expression.
Since the prince wouldn't let him destroy it, then he should just send out a new copy.
Lu Hanting glared at him angrily.
"Send her another copy!"
"Yes, I understand, little one!"
"Wait a moment!"
Liu Yun had just reached the entrance of the palace when Lu Hanting called out to her.
The drifting clouds turned back.
His young master frowned deeply and remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "If she refuses to come, then you shall bind her and bring her here for me..."
"Huh? Tied up?"
Liu Yun was taken aback.
"What's wrong? Is it so hard for you to understand what I'm saying?"
Lu Hanting had a sour face, his expression extremely dark.
If Wu Weiwei hadn't been so ungrateful, he wouldn't have needed to resort to this tactic against her.
"Okay, I understand!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely bring Consort Wu here!"
He just said it!
How could the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony be complete without Consort Wu's participation?
Not for any other reason than to let Aunt Wu see the young master's great achievements, even if it means forcibly binding him, he will still bring Aunt Wu here.
Qingwu Kingdom.
Wanqiu handed the invitation to Wu Weiwei.
"Your Majesty, this was specially brought to you by the Flowing Cloud Guard..."
Lingfu, standing to the side, hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
The prince is truly shameless. He knows that his master is unwilling to attend his coronation ceremony, but that doesn't stop them from acting so brazenly.
Wu Weiwei frowned as she looked at the gold-embossed invitation on the table.
"Did Liu Yun deliver it personally?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, he is waiting outside the palace..."
Judging from his posture, it seemed that he was going to refuse to leave unless his master agreed.
Wu Weiwei lowered her eyes.
It seems Lu Hanting is determined to have me attend his coronation ceremony.
So what?
She has never liked being forced by others.
Wu Weiwei looked at Wanqiu.
"Let him wait!"
She wanted to see how long Lu Hanting could keep his people with her.
But before Wu Weiwei could make a decision, Chunxiao brought her bad news.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
