"I'll have to trouble Royal Sister in the future!" The Crown Prince said proudly.
"There's no need to be so polite. You and I are both members of the Imperial Family. It's our duty to share Father's worries. He could only hope that His Highness the Crown Prince could settle down and learn. He wouldn't be like before, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, letting down his father's expectations!”Wu Zhao said with a fake smile and coldly retorted.
The Crown Prince's expression was ugly." Thank you for your reminder, Royal Sister. I definitely won't!"”
"One more thing, Zhao 'er. You're 18 now, and it's time for you to get married.”"Father has found a good family for you. It's Xu Liangcai, the son of the current Great General Xu Zhou." I've seen that child. He's good-looking and talented. Moreover, he's proficient in both literature and martial arts. He's more than enough for you. I have already asked someone to pick a good time for you. Choose a day to get married!”
Wu Zhao's heart was filled with sorrow. This was the fate of a royal woman.
No matter how good or outstanding one's performance was, they would eventually be taken away by marriage and consolidate the regime, regardless of whether one was willing or not.
She had investigated Xu Liangcai. He looked like a talented person, but he was actually a big idiot. He was uneducated and had a despicable personality. He was always attached to women and used his father's prestige to cause trouble. He was the biggest scourge in the capital.
What hope was there in marrying such a person?
She did not believe that her father did not know Xu Liangcai's true colors, but he still did it.
Father, you're pushing your daughter into the abyss.
Towards this cold-blooded and heartless father, the last trace of feelings had disappeared.
"Royal Sister, Imperial Father has bestowed the marriage, why aren't you thanking the Lord for his grace?”The Crown Prince urged, feeling very pleased with himself.
After fighting for such a long time, the clouds had finally parted and the sky was clear. He was the one who had proposed this engagement. Not only was it to rope in the general, but it was also to kick him out of the core of power.
From now on, he had the final say in the court.
Wu Zhao cupped his hands and said expressionlessly,""Imperial Father, please forgive your son.”
The court suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The Emperor of Wu Country said with anger,""Zhao 'er, why? Are you going to defy the emperor's orders?"
" Because..." A sword suddenly appeared in Wu Kongzhao's hand. Then, with lightning speed, it surged into the Crown Prince's heart. He shook it hard, and the Crown Prince's heart shattered. There was nothing he could do.
" You…You…" The Crown Prince fell down unsteadily, out of breath.
All the officials present were shocked and speechless.
"Guards, protect the emperor!" The eunuch shouted.
Four Celestial Being experts instantly appeared in front of the Emperor and stared at Wu Zhao cautiously.
Many imperial guards rushed in and surrounded them.
With the protection of the four experts, the Emperor of Wu Country was finally relieved. He said with a pained tone,""Zhao 'er, how dare you? He is your younger brother and you have blood ties with him. How can you kill him? Why did you kill him?"
"I didn't want to harm my brother like this! Although he's the Crown Prince, he's ambitious and incompetent. He's ignorant and incompetent. He's always fighting for power and profit. He's even more of a bastard than you. Wu Country will perish sooner or later if it falls into his hands. I have a clear conscience after killing him!" Wu Zhao said.
" You…" The Emperor was so angry that he was trembling.
"Imperial Father, don't be angry. I'm doing this for the good of Wu Country. Only I can lead Wu Country to prosperity. So let me take your position!”As he spoke, he suddenly charged at the officials with his sword.
The military officers were still alright, they had the strength to resist.
However, the civil servants were not able to do so. A large number of them died instantly.
"Guards, protect the emperor!"
"Quickly protect the spirit beast!"
"Eldest Princess Wu Zhao is plotting to usurp the throne, quickly capture her!”
……
The Emperor was so frightened that he hid under the table and said to the four Celestial Being experts,""Hurry up and capture Wu Zhao, dead or alive!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The four experts accepted the order.
An old man stood in front of them. It was Elder Hua, who had always been by the Eldest Princess 'side.
"If you want to kill the Eldest Princess, you have to go through my clan first!”
"Taibao Hua, you're the chief of the palace, you should listen to the Emperor!" One of the Celestial Masters shouted angrily. The Eldest Princess wants to usurp the throne. Are you going to help her?”
Elder Hua remained silent and expressed his stance.
"I've offended you!"
The four experts had charged in, and Elder Hua was actually able to deal with the four Celestial Beings with ease.
At the same time, the sounds of fighting and killing rang out all over the palace.
This was Wu Zhao's direct subordinates taking action. They were a group of eunuchs that she and Elder Hua had secretly trained. They were usually distributed in the palace. Once they launched a coup, they could quickly take control of the palace.
However, these people were still too few. It was a drop in the bucket.
Because there were too many experts and royal guards guarding the palace, by the time they reacted, this chaos would be quickly extinguished. The longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be.
"It's almost time!" Wu Zhao thought to himself, System Elf, attack! I want you to kill all the enemies in the palace!”
"Are you going to kill those who are related to you by blood?”Lin Beifan asked.
Wu Zhao hesitated for a moment, then his eyes turned sharp."Kill, leave no one alive!"
"Yes, my host!" Lin Beifan smiled elegantly.
