Sheng Fu

Chapter 1227 Secret Reliance
In the imperial court, the sounds of ceremonial music filled the air.

Bei Hanfei sat on the throne, holding the young emperor in her arms. Yuwen Jun stood at the very front, and the ministers of the Spirit Clan stood in order. Although the atmosphere was very festive, Tang De and Qiu Yu both had a look of loneliness on their faces, and many ministers of the Spirit Clan also felt heartbroken.

In the days since the two lords left, many changes have taken place in the court and among the people. Today, nearly half of the officials attending court are unfamiliar faces that Tang De and Qiu Yu have never seen before.

"Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory letter from our human race. We hope Your Majesty will take a look." Qianling held the letter in her hand, walked slowly to Yuwen Jun, bowed slightly, and presented the letter with both hands.

Then, Zun Hong humbly approached Yuwen Jun and presented the congratulatory letter with both hands.

Yuwen Jun accepted the congratulatory letter and opened it under the watchful eyes of Linghe Wang, Bei Hanmeng, and other bigwigs.

"There are so many miraculous elixirs and master metals for forging weapons!" Yuwen Jun said, slightly taken aback.

Upon hearing this, Linghe Wang's expression changed slightly, and Tang De, Qiu Yu, and the others also had their eyes twitch slightly. They knew that the human and demon delegations had come with sincerity, and judging from Yuwen Jun's surprised expression, their sincerity was even greater than they had imagined.

Qianling bowed slightly and replied gently, "It is our duty to support each other as the three races are of one mind and support one another in the alliance."

Zun Hong echoed, "It is also the duty of the demon race."

Unlike Qianling's slightly casual manner of speaking and acting in front of Yuwen Jun, Zunhong always felt an oppressive aura, as imposing as a mountain, when facing Yuwen Jun.

Yuwen Jun chuckled and said, "Not bad, very sincere."

With a slight wave of his hand, two congratulatory letters landed on the imperial platform.

Bei Hanfei also subconsciously opened the document to look at it, initially not taking it seriously, but her pupils gradually dilated.

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, allies!" Bei Hanfei said, emphasizing her words slightly.

Qianling and Zunhong bowed deeply to express their respect.

If this weren't in the imperial court, Qianling would have really wanted to go up and see what Gu Yong's descendants looked like, so she could tell her father when she got back.

Thinking that she would be visiting Lingdu in the next few days, Qianling felt that she would definitely have a chance to see the appearance of the young master of the Ling Clan.

Yuwen Jun smiled and said, "In that case, let the banquet begin. Today, you can drink to your heart's content."

"We're all family, so there's no need for formalities. The Spirit Clan will always remember this deep affection."

Linghe Wang's lips twitched slightly. In the court, Yuwen Jun spoke so casually. This regent was really dashing.

As a result, Qianling and Zunhong bowed deeply once again, extremely humble, and said, "We will obey the Regent's decree."

The members of the human and demon delegations treated Yuwen Jun with utmost respect and awe.

The high-ranking officials in the Spirit Clan's court all witnessed this scene closely.

Yuwen Jun's regal aura has been fully revealed.

Seeing this, Bei Hanfei felt quite relieved. Although she had known for a long time, it was naturally very good to have such a thoughtful junior to solve these unavoidable procedures.

Then, the maids began to serve the dishes.

The fine wines that the late emperor had once treasured were also served one after another.

Yuwen Jun slowly walked up to Qianling and Zunhong, and said with a smile, "Today's delicacies are the flavors of the Spirit Clan. You must enjoy them properly, so that all the hardships you have endured on your journey will not have been in vain."

Zun Hong quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Highness is too kind."

Qianling replied softly, "You're getting more and more experienced."

"But I get the feeling that you have something on your mind."

The human princess was always quick-witted. Yuwen Jun seemed witty and cheerful, but there was always a hint of melancholy between her brows. Yuwen Jun paused slightly, then chuckled and said, "There are many official duties. If you were in my position, you would probably have quit long ago."

Qianling was stunned for a moment, then feigned disdain and shrugged, "You think you're so capable?"

Yuwen Jun smiled but remained silent.

He did not tell anyone that the Demon Lord had awakened.

They don't intend to bring this up themselves, because once it's revealed, it will inevitably cause panic among the people.

Let the God Emperor and the Human Emperor handle even the most important matters first.

It is unknown whether the God Emperor has any trump cards up his sleeve that he has not yet used.

Hopefully, the Divine Emperor truly possesses a trump card, after all, he had already inflicted a severe blow on the Demon Lord once in Nanwang City. If Gu Yong and Empress Fuyao hadn't intervened that time, the Demon Lord might have actually died under the Divine Emperor's sword...

During the banquet, everyone chatted freely, and Princess Qianling took the initiative to raise her glass to many officials of the Spirit Clan, her demeanor graceful and charming.

Zun Hong is an honest man who tries to toast with everyone. However, the bloodline of the Golden Lion is powerful, and at least when it comes to drinking, he can easily achieve a majestic and massive capacity for alcohol.

……

The banquet ended in the afternoon.

At the invitation of the Empress Dowager, Qianling and Zunhong also came to the Imperial Garden.

Yuwen Jun and King Linghe accompanied them.

Qianling followed beside Bei Hanfei, secretly glancing at the child in her arms. Seeing this, Bei Hanfei handed the child to Qianling and said softly, "I know you're curious about what he looks like."

Qianling blushed slightly and replied shyly, "Actually, my father is also very curious about his appearance. In private, my father has always referred to Senior Gu Yong as Mr. Gu Yong. He respects Mr. Gu Yong very much, but he cannot show this respect on the surface."

As she spoke, Qianling carefully cradled Bei Hanyong in her arms, observing the little guy's expression with gentle eyes, and exclaimed, "Indeed, his demeanor is outstanding, and his features are unparalleled."

Bei Hanfei asked with a hint of curiosity, "Your Majesty truly admires Mr. Gu Yong. If I remember correctly, Gu Yong's actions back then caused Your Majesty a great deal of trouble."

Qianling smiled knowingly and said, "It is a bit of a headache, but not to the point of being overwhelmed. Sometimes, stance is one thing and integrity is another. They are two different things."

Bei Hanfei smiled subtly, for nothing could be more unfathomable than this.

Yuwen Jun and Linghe Wang walked side by side behind them. Looking at Qian Ling holding the young master in her arms in front of them, with a slightly casual posture, Linghe Wang felt a little displeased, but he had nothing to say.

"There's no need to be so tense. Although Yong'er is the emperor, he hasn't yet developed his mind. Qianling is a very good person. Today, we've formed a bond, which will provide Yong'er with many conveniences in the future," Yuwen Jun gently reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Ling and Wang smiled helplessly and said, "I understand the reasoning."

In fact, for a long time to come, King Ling and King Wang would not be able to accept the fact that the late emperor had passed away.

Zun Hong felt rather restrained along the way and didn't know what to say, so he silently followed behind Yuwen Jun.

Yuwen Jun changed the subject and said, "You need to cheer up. There is something I really need your help with. From a standpoint of principle, Li Hongshan will not do his best for me, and my Panlong and Anlong spy networks are too inexperienced."

“I am the regent of the Eldar. Of all the people I have ever trusted, you are the one I rely on the most.”

"And you, too, are willingly relied upon by me."

Their stance is self-evident. Even if Yuwen Jun were to make a decision to indiscriminately kill innocent people, Ling and Wang would resolutely carry it out to the end.

“You may give me any orders or instructions at will,” King Linghe said with a serious expression.

Yuwen Jun secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Put aside all matters concerning the Spirit Clan for now. I will have Anlong and Chu Yu join forces with you to secretly investigate hidden secret realms and spaces in the world. This matter will be mainly based on Chu Yu's intuition."
