"What's going on? It's already the time to go to court. Why hasn't the Holy One arrived yet?"

"Yes...it's already time to go to court."

Bai Zili knew that this was Mu Lingyan trying to act. After all, Mu Lingyan issued the edict in the name of the emperor, but the emperor couldn't come. Since the emperor couldn't come, it was necessary to be late. Only then could he find a sufficient excuse. Come.

It's just a little trick.

Because the emperor did not show up for a long time, the court began to talk.

The current Cangqian Dynasty is full of undercurrents. Everyone knows that the old emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and he will die sooner or later. They have received the imperial edict today, and everyone knows what will happen. Clearly.

Now it is time to truly determine who will hand over the throne.

That's why everyone cares so much, even those who wouldn't appear in the past are here.

"Stand still!" Mu Chengze said coldly.

Because Bai Zili was looking around, but this is what Mu Chengrong would do in the court.

Mu Chengrong is considered to have a high level of cultivation among the younger generation of the Mu clan. After all, the cultivation level of Dongxu Realm is only that of Cangzhi Realm. Even Mu Lingyan is only at Cangzhi Realm level, but he is much older than Mu Lingyan. , there is nothing we can do about it, after all, we have practiced for so many more years.

Bai Zili glanced at the other princes and sons. The cultivation of these people was almost at the level of Dongxu Realm. They really had enough resources and high bloodline that even dogs could cultivate to the level of Dongxu Realm.

But those civilians without resources and blood have difficulty even reaching the Cangzhi realm.

The clan was afraid of being overturned by the power of bloodline, so they destroyed the Cao clan. After all, the power of bloodline is really important. Bai Zili also understands this. After all, he himself also has emperor-level qualifications and enough resources. He cultivates so quickly.

It is common knowledge that everyone knows that the power of blood almost determines a person's qualifications.

The court began to become chaotic, because it was already this time, but the emperor still did not appear, and everyone began to talk about it.

"Why hasn't the Holy One shown up for so long?"

"Yeah, it's been so long"

Mu Chengze was very calm. Rather, if the emperor died at this time, he could take the opportunity to attack now.

No one here is his opponent, and no one can stop him from ascending to the throne. The only trouble is his eldest brother's daughter, but how can a mere woman become the emperor!

Mu Chengze is very confident about this. Now it is just because his father is still alive, so he is more restrained. When his father dies, he will no longer have to restrain himself. He can do whatever he wants then. How to do it!

What he is afraid of now is only the shaky old dragon who has been ill for a long time. After all, he is his son after all, and he will never rebel against his father.

But what is Mu Lingyan?He is just the Lord of the East Palace with no real power, and he just has such a useless title.

This person is a little too calm.

Bai Zili looked at Mu Chengze. This man was a little too calm. Everyone else was getting nervous because the emperor had not appeared for a long time, but this man seemed to be very calm as if he did not want the emperor to appear.

But yes, if it were Bai Zili, it would be like this at this time. After all, if the old guy dies, Prince Ming will have nothing to worry about. Mu Lingyan will be nothing at that time. Even if he kills Mu Lingyan today, these People from the Canggan Mu clan didn't dare to say anything.

After all, King Ming has a strong enough power, but the others are just a piece of loose sand, and it is impossible to fight King Ming.

I have to say that Bai Zili is getting excited now. This is what he wants. The more arrogant King Ming is, the better!Those who are attached to him will be afraid and will show their loyalty, and those who are already afraid of him will be even more afraid. When the time comes, they will hug together for warmth, and Mu Lingyan can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.

Of course...it is not ruled out that those people will directly surrender to King Ming. This is extremely possible. Therefore, the Floating Flower is very important. These people want to get the Floating Flower. The Floating Flower is really important to the Mu clan.

However, judging by the time, it should be almost time. If Mu Lingyan doesn't show up, there will probably be trouble by then. Even if she is waiting, she can't wait too much. It's almost time to show up.

"What's going on! No! I'm going to the Yangxin Hall to see how my father is doing!" Some people were already unable to sit still.

"What do you want to do?" Prince Ming stopped him immediately.

"Father has not shown up yet, I must go and see him!"

Whoever makes a move at this time proves that he is ambitious, and now it is obvious.

Bai Zili was used to these overt and covert fights, so he wouldn't be surprised.

King Ming's action proved one thing. King Ming hoped that the old emperor would die and seize power directly when the time came.

"His Royal Highness Mu Lingyan from the East Palace has arrived!!!" the eunuch's high-pitched voice shouted outside.

Everyone immediately looked towards the main hall door!

Mu Lingyan walked in with steady steps: "The Holy Emperor is feeling unwell! I will be in charge of the meeting today!"

47. A good chess move

what happened?

In the court hall, everyone began to discuss, and everyone watched Mu Lingyan walk up to the throne.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Chengze walked out and asked.

"That's the throne! Only the current Holy One can be worthy of it! Mu Lingyan! You are so brave!"

"Uncle, did you misunderstand something? I am the master of the East Palace and the heir to the throne of the Cangqian Dynasty," Mu Lingyan said righteously.

"Even if you are the Lord of the East Palace, don't forget that the Holy Emperor is still alive. You are just the Lord of the East Palace. Why should you sit on the dragon's throne?" Bai Zili stood up and said.

"Besides, why do you, a prostitute, sit on the dragon throne? Just because you are the daughter of the prince? The prince has been dead for so many years. If you ask me, you are not worthy of sitting on the dragon throne. Only the current Holy One!"

Although Bai Zili was too much, it was also in line with Mu Chengrong's temper. Mu Chengrong had always disliked Mu Lingyan because Mu Lingyan was more talented than him and got Fu Sheng Hua. For this reason, Mu Chengrong hated Mu Lingyan. Mu Lingyan was extremely hostile.

But what Mu Chengrong was thinking about was not killing Mu Lingyan, but what he could do to make Mu Lingyan his own.

How could such a lustful person not covet a stunning beauty like Mu Lingyan?

"Who told you to speak? Stand back!"

"Humph!"

Bai Zili laughed secretly and retreated to his original position.

Mu Lingyan glanced at the dragon chair. She actually had no intention of sitting on the dragon chair. For her, the weight of the dragon chair was too heavy and she couldn't sit on it now. Even if she sat on the dragon chair... .Does she really have that qualification now?

Mu Lingyan asked herself, she was not qualified to sit on the dragon chair yet, but she was the master of the East Palace. Even though she had to cooperate with Bai Zili in acting today, there were some things that she absolutely could not compromise on.

Mu Lingyan gritted his teeth, turned around and faced the crowd and said: "Holy Lord Long is not feeling well, so I will be in charge of this court meeting on my behalf! The topic of this court meeting is the Crown Prince of the Cangqian Dynasty. Ministers, please speak directly if you have anything to say. I will be in charge of this meeting." A report to the Holy One"

"How qualified are you, the master of the East Palace, to preside over such a big event?" Mu Chengze asked.

"I am the Lord of the East Palace. Who is the Lord of the East Palace? The East Palace is the place where the prince lives. My father is the prince, and I am also the Lord of the East Palace appointed by the Holy One. Even if I succeed to the throne and become emperor in the future, it is reasonable. , Uncle Emperor, you are overstepping your bounds now.”

Mu Lingyan is very calm. She has not raised her status too high. The owner of the East Palace is the crown prince and the heir to the throne. There is no doubt about this. She is only controlling this time as the owner of the East Palace. It's just the court.

"That's fine if it's the past, but you said it yourself, today is for the sake of the crown prince. How can you, a woman, stand here! Has there been a reason for women to be in power since ancient times?"

"The leader of the Immortals Alliance, Xiyue, the Empress Feng Xiyue, is the co-leader of the world. Is she not a female?" Even if he wants to act, Mu Lingyan cannot let his power be overwhelmed by Mu Chengze!

She wanted to tell the clan members and these ministers that she, Mu Lingyan, was not afraid of Mu Chengze!Therefore, Mu Lingyan will never give in or compromise!

"Do you think you are Feng Xiyue?"

"Although I am not Empress Xiyue, I can still be a woman like Empress Xiyue. What if a woman is in power? I carry the blood of the Canggan Mu family! She is the daughter of the Crown Prince! The Holy One has designated the master of the East Palace! Even if the Holy Emperor presides over the government this time, why should I not do it?"

"Mu Lingyan! Don't be rude! Don't forget! My father is the second prince! When the prince dies, the throne should belong to my father! You, a prostitute, can only use some sweet words to confuse the current emperor! You! What do you think you are? You are only in the Cangzhi realm, but you have annexed Fushenghua without permission! Do you know what Fushenghua means to our Mu clan!"

"The Floating Flower is what I got from the secret realm of Tianqu. It is also the test you gave me, uncle. Did the Emperor forget? At the beginning, the Emperor asked me to get the Floating Flower before he could admit that I was the Emperor of the East Palace. Lord! I got the Floating Flower and swallowed the Floating Flower. In this case, I am the Lord of the East Palace recognized by you. Since I am the Lord of the East Palace, the Floating Flower is originally a thing of this palace. Besides, the Floating Flower is my palace. After all the hard work, I found it from the secret realm of Tianqu. I risked my life and went deep into Jueyuan Valley, and even encountered a sneak attack by gangsters! I almost died. If Feng Qiluo, the young master of Hanyun Sect, hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. Tianqu Secret Realm! The gangster who attacked me said that someone asked him to kill me, so I am very curious about who that person is."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar!

Although Mu Lingyan did not say clearly who did this, if it really happened, then it was obviously King Ming who did it.

The ministers couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Mu Chengze.

Mu Chengze did not open his mouth to explain, but wanted to wait for Mu Lingyan to continue. If he opened his mouth to explain at this time, he would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Don't stop spouting nonsense! My father is definitely not that kind of person! What do you mean! Do you want to say that my father did this? If my father wants to kill you, why do you need to find someone? Do you think you Can you be so arrogant and insult people's innocence after receiving the blessing of the Holy One?"

Bai Zili followed Mu Chengrong's idea and started scolding him directly!

"Shut up!" Mu Chengze scolded loudly!

"What are you yelling at me for? Am I not doing it for you?"

"You!" Mu Chengze's face was filled with anger, but he couldn't say anything else. This loser standing up to defend him would only put him in trouble. Even if Mu Chengze didn't do this, these people They will also say that Mu Chengze did it!

Of course, this matter was not done by Mu Chengze but by Mu Chengrong. Mu Chengrong originally wanted to destroy Mu Lingyan's cultivation so that he could get Mu Lingyan safely. Who could Knowing that Mu Lingyan would rather die than obey, she would rather jump into the Jueyuan Valley...

Bai Zili saw this incident from Mu Chengrong's memory. Everything was arranged by Mu Chengrong.

Mu Chengze really didn't send anyone to kill Mu Lingyan.

Everything was a deal between Mu Chengrong and one person from a certain clan.

But when Bai Zili yelled like that, even if it wasn't Mu Chengze who did it, even if he jumped into the Yellow River now and couldn't clean it up, everyone would think that it was Mu Chengze who did it. Who gave him a good son?

Mu Chengze himself was very calm and did not refute, so Bai Zili jumped out and deliberately refuted, this is the so-called 300 taels of silver here.

Bai Zili must convince him of this crime.

"What am I! Didn't I do it for you, my father? This woman is insulting my father's innocence! How could my father do such a despicable thing! Mu Lingyan! Don't talk nonsense here! "

Mu Lingyan saw that this was Bai Zili's intention, so Mu Lingyan had to cooperate at this time.

"That's right, I can't provide any evidence, but the Young Master of Hanyun Sect is my savior. This is something that everyone in Cangling Immortal Academy knows. I don't care who sent people to kill me. , then can we start today’s topic now?”

Mu Lingyan also played a good game. Now Mu Chengze may be speechless, after all, he has such a useless son!

48. Cruel enough!

Some clues can already be seen in the court about this matter. These ministers and the Mu clan can be said to dislike each other. One side is a member of the Ming Dynasty, and the other side is loyal to the emperor.

Bai Zili glanced at it. It was almost the same. In this case, the minister's side could be said to be evenly matched, but...

On the clan side, there is some vacillation. After all, Prince Ming is the most powerful now. Everyone knows that if the emperor dies, Prince Ming will definitely rebel and seize the throne.

If the emperor did not kill King Ming, it would be equivalent to leaving a huge trouble. No one dared to say that he had offended King Ming at this time, so those clans were very quiet and did not immediately choose which side to support.

But it can be seen that most of these people are afraid of King Ming. As long as King Ming behaves more arrogantly, it's a pity...

King Ming didn't express himself too much at all. From now on, King Ming has been extremely quiet, just listening to the discussions of the ministers.

Bai Zili wants to give Mu Lingyan a chance to show off. Now is a good time for Mu Lingyan to show off. He should not interfere. He should be quiet at this time and wait for King Ming to speak first. Otherwise, it will not be King Ming who is arrogant, but King Ming. That would not be fun for Prince Ming.

"The facts that all the ministers have said are true. Yes, I am indeed a woman. There has never been a precedent for a woman to ascend to the throne of God. However, after all, I am the Lord of the East Palace appointed by the Holy One and the crown prince of the Cangqian Dynasty. I possess the purest bloodline of the Canggan Mu clan, but unfortunately...my son is not worthy of succeeding and becoming emperor, is this what you mean?"

The discussion just now was nothing more than the issue of heirs if Mu Lingyan became emperor. After all, after Mu Lingyan succeeded to the throne, who should succeed the emperor in the future? This is the problem.

The Cangqian Dynasty must have the purest blood of the Mu family to succeed to the throne.

When Mu Lingyan succeeds to the throne, she must either never marry, otherwise she will be a dead child. But if he marries, will her bloodline be considered the purest?

This is how they believe that only the bloodline passed down by men is the purest bloodline.

So Mu Lingyan has already thought about this, and Mu Lingyan has considered this a long time ago.

"I have already told your Majesty about your question. My choice is to choose one of the sons of the princes of the Mu clan as my adopted son and establish him as the crown prince. I can remain unmarried for the rest of my life! "

Mu Lingyan felt bitter in her heart when she said such words, but as the minister said, the Cangqian dynasty must be the descendants of the Mu family...

Only the Mu clan is worthy of ruling the Cangqian Dynasty, so Mu Lingyan had actually considered it a long time ago.

Bai Zili sighed, it seemed like he was really going to end up alone...

After hearing what Mu Lingyan said, the princes of the Mu clan who were originally wavering began to discuss. After all, this matter was a good opportunity for them. After all, it was impossible for them to compete with Mu Lingyan for the throne. It is impossible to compete with King Ming for the throne, but if Mu Lingyan becomes the emperor, then their heirs may succeed as the emperor!

Looking at these people, Bai Zili had to sigh, this woman is not stupid, especially when it comes to politics. Although her ability to play with people's hearts is not as superb as Feng Xiyue's, she is still at a certain level.

As long as such an oath is made, these wavering princes will definitely start to waver. After all, if they do nothing, they may become the future emperor. Anyone will be tempted by such a good thing.

Prince Ming saw Mu Lingyan's plan. She was trying to win people's hearts!

"Can you guarantee it? How can you guarantee that you will not have children after you succeed to the throne?"

"I can... destroy my own nest."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar!

"Your Highness! This is absolutely impossible!"

"Yes, Your Highness! This is absolutely impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Some ministers couldn't stand it anymore. What is this, a group of people bullying a weak woman?

Bai Zili looked at Mu Lingyan and felt for the first time that this woman was so cruel to him...

Mu Lingyan felt bitter in her heart, but what could she do? If she wanted to succeed, she would have to pay the price. She had nothing to regret about it. Becoming the empress of the Cangqian Dynasty and fulfilling her parents' wish was what Mu Lingyan wanted in her heart. I thought, besides, Mu Lingyan didn't think there was any possibility that she would fall in love with someone other than him...

Since she no longer lost his love, there was no need for Mu Lingyan to leave any escape route for herself.

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, this is my palace's decision, and the Holy One has already agreed."

In fact, the emperor's grandfather did not agree with this matter at all, and even scolded Mu Lingyan for being so cruel to him for the sake of the throne!

Is a woman who is infertile still considered a woman?

But Mu Lingyan didn't care anymore, he didn't care at all.
