Chapter 412: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Female Matching Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by Co
"The choice for the empress must be made, and it is none other than Shi Miaomiao, the current head of the Huangshang Shi family..."
After Guo Zhen finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head, looking as if waiting for questions.
In the court, the officials were a little confused when they first heard the words "Imperial Merchant Shi Family", but in a flash, they all reacted as if waking from a dream.
Isn’t the Huang Shang Shi family the ex-fiancée of Prince Zhao’s son?
Xiao Jingyuan seemed completely unaware of the waves in the court caused by Guo Zhen's words. His eyes were fixed on Guo Zhen, his brows furrowed, and his deep eyes were full of suspicion and shock, as if what Guo Zhen had just said was a fact that he could not accept at all.
His voice rose slightly, with a hint of questioning.
“Are you sure it’s the Huangshang Shi family?
The Shi family that previously had an engagement with Prince Zhao's palace, but was annulled by my decree?"
After saying this, without waiting for Guo Jian's reply, Xiao Jingyuan quickly turned his gaze to the side of the court.
"Where is Qin Jianzheng?"
At this moment, Xiao Jingyuan looked even more shocked than the other court officials. His furrowed brows looked like a deep ravine as he stared at Qin Sheng, the director of the Imperial Observatory who had been called out.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Qin Sheng was stared at by His Majesty with a deathly gaze. Others saw it as a questioning of him, but Qin Sheng knew that this was His Majesty secretly warning him not to say the wrong thing and cause trouble to the future queen.
Help! He's just a fifth-grade shaman!
He had a thousand curse words in his heart, but Qin Sheng knew that if he said something wrong, the Queen would be fine, but he would definitely die, so he bent down respectfully.
"Has what Guo Zhen said been confirmed? Is the empress chosen for me by Heaven the daughter of the Shi family?"
Xiao Jingyuan's voice sank slightly.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Guo said is true, and I have something else to report.
The Queen's constellation had actually already appeared faintly in the starry sky, but it seemed that the fate star had been covered by a secret method before, so the Imperial Astronomical Observatory failed to discover it in time.
At this stage, it can be clearly seen that the Queen's destiny star and His Majesty's Purple Star Emperor Star echo each other, and their lights are intertwined. This is a fate destined by heaven.
The emperor and empress depend on each other, just like the yin and yang complementing each other, and the heaven and the earth supporting each other. Only in this way can your majesty's dragon body be blessed with a long and blessed life, free from interference from external evil spirits, and the country's fortune will also prosper and flourish.
This is the destiny revealed by Heaven, and I, a humble official, am terrified and dare not conceal it from Your Majesty."
Everyone listened to the old charlatan's words in a daze, and what they could generally understand was that the former fiancée of Prince Zhao was destined to be the queen.
Or even, the reason why it was not discovered before was because some secret technique blocked the stars?
After Qin Jianzheng said this, some people did not react, while some people immediately connected this matter with a recent incident.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report. I discovered this in Prince Zhao's mansion."
Guo Zhen's expression became stern and solemn. He took a step forward and respectfully took out a piece of paper that had been prepared for a long time from his arms with both hands. The paper looked ordinary, but it carried a secret that was enough to shake the court.
Guo Zhen lowered his head slightly, raised the paper above his head with both hands, and handed it to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch took it carefully, walked quickly to the dragon throne, and placed it on the imperial desk.
Xiao Jingyuan glanced coldly at Guo Zhen below, reached out and picked up the paper, only to see that it was covered with densely written tiny characters. After looking at it carefully, it was indeed the familiar handwriting of King Zhao.
As my gaze moved downward, I saw the last line on the paper clearly written in large characters: "He who seizes the opportunity will conquer the world!"
The handwriting was bold and powerful, and it seemed to be announcing King Zhao's ulterior ambition to the world.
Xiao Jingyuan read out these words softly, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"I didn't expect that the Zhao Palace had harbored rebellious intentions for so long!"
Xiao Jingyuan placed the paper on the imperial desk, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy, and even his eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.
"If finding the Emperor and Empress wasn't such a joyous occasion, I would have completely annihilated these rebels in Prince Zhao's mansion!"
Xiao Jingyuan said he would let them go, but in fact he had no intention of letting those two bastards go at all.
However, he couldn't let Miaomiao commit murder right after she was confirmed as the candidate for empress. As long as she left the capital, there were plenty of ways to make people suffer a fate worse than death!
Whenever Xiao Jingyuan recalled the tragic scenes of Miaomiao vomiting blood and dying a hundred times, it was as if thousands of steel needles were piercing his heart deeply. The pain spread throughout his body, causing his hands to clench into fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning white and veins bulging.
The hatred in his heart was like a raging fire. He wished he could immediately grind the people in Prince Zhao's mansion into ashes to relieve the hatred in his heart.
How could he let it go? !
Don't worry, those who have hurt Miaomiao will not be able to escape. But Miaomiao's reputation cannot be associated with these messy things, he will deal with them cleanly!
The atmosphere in the court was solemn and subtle.
Several old ministers looked at each other and nodded slightly. Then a white-haired but energetic minister stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Their words all expressed the hope that Your Majesty would welcome the Emperor and Empress into the palace.
Xiao Jingyuan was silent. He was not in a hurry. The current situation was not enough for Miaomiao to gain a foothold in the palace.
He wanted to give Miaomiao a position that could not be overthrown, even to the point where she was higher than himself in the hearts of the court officials.
"My lords, please don't be impatient. It's better to let heaven decide this matter.
I am the Son of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven will surely provide guidance in this matter.
Please ask God to give guidance tomorrow.
Come, after the court session, please protect the Shi Mansion for me. No unidentified persons are allowed to enter or leave within a three-li radius.
I am here waiting for the answer from Heaven."
Xiao Jingyuan said that he finally announced the adjournment of the court only after all the court officials had no objections and no other matters to report.
At this time, Miaomiao was still immersed in her own little world, and had no idea that the heavy "pot" that seemed to have fallen from the sky had landed firmly on her.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and thought to herself that she could finally sleep in without any worries today.
Today is not the day for the meeting with His Majesty, so Miaomiao plans to get a good sleep.
She didn't sleep well last night and had nightmares all night.
In her dream, she was tightly entangled in layers of spider silk. The more she struggled, the tighter the silk became. Outside the impenetrable silk, there was a huge eye staring at her. The gaze was greedy and scorching, as if it wanted to burn her soul to ashes.
Even Miaomiao shivered unconsciously in her sleep...
Miaomiao didn't know why she had such a nightmare. She just thought that she was thinking too much in this dimension.
Even if she was beaten to death, she would never have thought that this was the embodiment of life. As soon as she arrived in this plane, she was targeted by a greedy man, and the man was even trying every means to make her submit...
But this time she still has three years of mourning period, which will prevent her from being completely eaten up from the very beginning.
"Where's Miss? Are you still sleeping?
Then don’t call her, wait until she wakes up…”
Just when Miaomiao was about to fall asleep, she heard a familiar male voice. The voice was soft, but Miaomiao could clearly tell that it was not the voice of His Majesty.
No, don’t you have an appointment today?
