Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2502 Becoming a King

Looking at the body slipping away from his sight, Ying Baoyue's heart seemed to be empty for a moment.

All the blood in her body seemed to have frozen, and her arms were so stiff that she couldn't even hold on to him.

Li Ji's shoulder brushed past Ying Baoyue's palm and fell to the ground.

"Zhaohua?!"

No one expected that Ji Jiashu was the first to notice Li Ji's abnormality. The young man rushed over and quickly supported the limp figure, "Are you okay?"

Li Ji hung his head and did not move. Just when everyone thought he had fainted, he struggled to raise his head and looked at Ji Jiashu.

Li Ji seemed also surprised when he looked at Ji Jiashu.

It was also the first time that Ji Jiashu looked into the eyes of Li Ji after he took off his mask. The two looked at each other quietly, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Finally, Li Ji gave the young man a gentle smile.

"I'm fine, thank you, Chunhua."

Ji Jiashu stared at the familiar dark eyes and felt something strange. He always felt that something was wrong with Li Ji, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue who was standing stiffly on the side, and this strange feeling became even stronger.

Under normal circumstances, Ying Baoyue would have rushed to Li Ji long ago, but at this moment she stood one step away from Li Ji, just staring at him blankly, as if she didn't dare to get close.

"Hug the moon."

Li Ji held Ji Jiashu's shoulders and looked up into Ying Baoyue's eyes. His dark eyes were full of comfort and understanding. "I'm fine. Go and do your thing."

"You have important things to do, don't you?"

There was silence in the air for a moment, and everyone realized that there was still an important problem that had not been resolved.

Ying Hanri and the ghost fetus are both dead.

Ying Xun has not yet officially ascended the throne.

The Mu family and the Gui family have returned to the court, but they did not pledge allegiance to Ying Xun.

So who will be the next ruler of the Qin Dynasty?

The Former Qin officials behind Ying Xun realized that the atmosphere was wrong and became nervous.

Ying Xun and Ying Baoyue had been standing in different positions before, and the throne was now divided into two distinct factions. The officials of the Former Qin Dynasty who supported Ying Xun stood behind him, on the left side of the throne, while Li Ji and Ji Jiashu stood behind Ying Baoyue, on the right side of the throne.

The clones of Tengshe and Zhuque looked at each other and disappeared on the spot.

According to the rules, the gods are not allowed to interfere in such matters.

However, the real body of Teng Snake God was still hovering above Ying Baoyue's head, clearly expressing His attitude.

As the divine avatar disappeared, the atmosphere on the platform became tense.

At this time, the people in the square began to split into two factions. The Mu family army and the Gui family army moved to the right, some civil servants who supported the older people quietly moved to the left, and some immortal officials stood in the middle and swayed left and right.

Many older officials raised their heads and looked at Ying Baoyue standing on the high platform with complicated eyes.

Before, no one would have thought that a woman could participate in the fight for the throne.

Before today's battle, no one would have considered such a heinous act.

But after today's battle, no one can ignore the name Ying Baoyue anymore.

Whether she is the Princess of Former Qin or Shao Siming, there is no doubt that this woman has enough power to influence the succession to the throne of Qin.

The question is, who should sit on the throne?

Having power and breaking tradition are not the same thing.

The official standing behind Ying Xun looked at Ying Baoyue with vigilance in his eyes, as if he wanted to yell at Ying Baoyue but tried hard to hold back.

The atmosphere on the platform was quite subtle.

Ying Xun is undoubtedly the most legitimate heir to the throne. But after today's battle, everyone realized that Ying Baoyue's power is too great.

If she wanted, she could even depose Ying Xun and choose to pick a young emperor from the royal family and put him on the throne as a puppet.

At this time, an official behind Ying Xun finally couldn't bear it anymore. A young official walked out from the crowd and knelt down towards Ying Xun.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne quickly and calm the people's hearts."

The official seemed to want to take the opportunity to show his loyalty to Ying Xun. He turned around and looked at Ying Baoyue and his group, and said coldly, "As for those who are irrelevant, please leave immediately..."

Before he could finish the word “step back”, the white-bearded old man who had scolded Ying Baoyue the demon girl before shouted, “Wang family kid, it’s not your turn to speak here, get out of here!”

As soon as the older official spoke, the other young officials behind Ying Xun who were ready to take the opportunity to show off all shrank their heads.

The old man with white beard walked up to Ying Baoyue and looked at her seriously.

"Your Highness, we have seen all your achievements. We are very grateful for everything you have done for Daqin."

"However," the old man said earnestly, "your actions are really too presumptuous for a princess. If you are willing to stay where you should be, then the position of the state teacher of the Great Qin..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Ying Baoyue sheathed his sword and walked straight to the ghost fetus' corpse lying at the bottom of the throne steps.

The old man with white beard didn't expect that he would be ignored. His face suddenly turned purple and he pointed at Ying Baoyue's back with shaking fingers.

"you you……"

Ying Baoyue didn't say anything, but just squatted down and reached out to pick up the little corpse.

Ying Xun stared at her back, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.

The old man with white beard turned his head in exasperation and said, "Your Majesty, in the name of heaven, please ascend the throne as soon as possible to comfort the spirit of your father in heaven."

His words were like a signal. All the old Qin warriors behind Ying Xun knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

Some officials in the square also knelt down, but more officials hesitated and looked around.

"His Majesty!"

However, in the face of these people's shouts, Ying Xun just stood there motionless.

He stared at Ying Baoyue's back for a long time.

Ying Baoyue stood up holding the ghost fetus's body, turned around and looked at him.

"His Majesty!"

"Young Master!" The white-bearded old man became anxious and knelt down to pull the corner of Ying Xun's robe.

Ying Xun pulled out the corner of his robe and walked quietly to the bottom of the steps to the throne.

The white-bearded old man and the Former Qin officials' eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

However, at this moment, Ying Xun suddenly turned around and looked at Ying Baoyue who was standing aside.

He lifted the corner of his robe and knelt on one knee towards Ying Baoyue.

"His Majesty?"

"Eldest Young Master?"

Everyone present was stunned.

"Young Master! What are you doing? Stand up!" The old man with white beard was almost going crazy after seeing this scene. He screamed heartbreakingly, "Are you worthy of your father? You..."

"shut up."

Ying Xun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and said coldly, "Shut your mouth."

This was a tone that Ying Xun had never used before, and even Ying Baoyue was a little shocked.

Ying Xun raised his head, looked into Ying Baoyue's eyes, and said softly.

"I want to be the boss for once."

"In this world, there is only one person I am willing to bow down to, and that is you."

Ying Xun looked into Ying Baoyue's eyes and asked earnestly, "Are you willing to be my king?"

Ying Baoyue stared at the boy's eyes for a long time, which were very similar to his father's eyes, and nodded.

"I am willing, but not just because of your request."

Ying Xun smiled, "I know."

This throne was not given to her by anyone, but something she was determined to obtain.

Then there is no one more suitable than her in this world.

Ying Baoyue looked back at the people behind her, her eyes slowly sweeping over these familiar people.

Mu You, Gui Chen, Gui Li, Mu Rongyin, Huo Zhan, Ying Xun, Ji Jiashu, Li Ji...

There are many, many more people who are not here at this time.

She has come a long, long way.

She has been through a lot.

And she will eventually become king.

This time, she herself will become king.

Ying Baoyue turned around, holding the ghost fetus's body, and walked up the steps to the throne step by step.

Under the throne was still stained with blood and a pool of black mud left by Yelu Jing during childbirth.

Ying Baoyue bent down and gently placed the ghost fetus's body next to his mother's corpse, then turned around and sat on the throne.

There was silence for a moment under the platform, and then thunderous cheers broke out, starting with the Mu Family Army and the Gui Family Army.

"Long live the King of Former Qin!"

Gui Chen raised his fist in the crowd and was the first to shout this sentence.

"Long live the King of Former Qin!"

The Teng Snake God flapped its wings above Ying Baoyue's head, and the Qin people's cheers resounded throughout the Afang Palace, and at the same time, throughout the entire mountain and sea continent.

"Long live the King of Former Qin."

Ji Jiashu stood in the crowd, looking at the girl sitting at the highest seat with infinite emotion, and repeated this sentence softly.

However, at this most lively moment, Ji Jiashu suddenly discovered that Li Ji, who was originally standing next to him, was missing.

"Zhaohua?"

Ying Baoyue sat on the blood-stained throne, and the first thing she looked at was the person she wanted to see most below, but she discovered.

She couldn't find him.

Ying Baoyue froze all over and was about to stand up from the throne when she suddenly felt a warm touch on her lips.

The man's hair brushed against her cheek. Li Ji was standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile in his eyes, but the edges of his body were a little blurry, as if he was in a dream.

"Thank you for giving me so much more time."

Li Ji lowered his head, as if he was talking to a certain existence in his body.

"Ah... Ji?"

Ying Baoyue touched his lips, his voice trembling slightly.

Li Ji smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

This was their first and last kiss.

He looked at the girl sitting on the throne, his eyes showing reluctance and pain, but more of it was relief, pride and pity, "I'm sorry, I've tried my best."

He really had used up every last bit of his strength.

His time has come.

It's time to say goodbye.

"When you left me, you promised me that we would meet again in the next life."

Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue with a pure smile, as if he was still the boy waiting for her to come home in the misty forest.

"Now I make a promise with you too."

"See you in the next life."
