"The three elders of the palace! They are not dead?"
The appearance of these three old men was far beyond Hua Ling's expectations, and there was a bit of shock in their eyes.
Ever since he met Hua Ling, Qin Shi had never seen Hua Ling so surprised. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "What kind of old man are these three elders in the palace?"
Facing Qin Shi's inquiry, Hua Ling was silent for a long time, and then gradually regained his composure: "These three old guys, if I remember correctly, should have lived for more than 200 years, and they were members of the empire during the ancestors of the late king. The princes are named Fang Qingyuan, Fang Qinghu, and Fang Qingyu. When the empire was invaded by foreign tribes several times, it was because of them that it was defended. However, these three people should have died of illness a hundred years ago, how could they be alive today?"
"Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa!" When the three old men appeared, the eyes of the three Fang Xin sisters turned red, and they stepped forward excitedly: "Three grandpas, are you still alive?"
However, in the face of the three sisters' inquiries, the three old men remained silent as if they were deaf. They pushed the three of them away and stood firmly beside Fang Heng.
This action shocked everyone.
Qin Shi frowned. For some reason, he always felt that these three people were a little weird, but he couldn't explain what was weird.
Concubine Lin's heart sank as the three of them stood, and she trembled in disbelief: "Three seniors, what do you mean by this?"
"Hey, sister, can't you see it? The three seniors support Heng'er. Let me just say, people still have to live longer before they can understand the truth." Xiao Chong stopped him proudly. Concubine Lin smiled softly.
As soon as these words came out, the previously shaken people's hearts clearly stabilized. These three old men still had a very huge weight in the empire.
However, Concubine Lin and others could not understand that these three elders of the palace were once heroes of the empire, and Fang Chong was also very respected. How could they support Fang Heng at this time
Seeing that Concubine Lin didn't speak, Xiao Chong wanted to raise the corner of her mouth to her ears: "Sister, come and count the votes to see who won. Don't delay the auspicious moment of registering the new king."
Xiao Chong's aggressiveness made the three sisters Lin Fei, Lin Yu, Hua Ling, Qin Shi, and Fang Xin look embarrassed. Is it necessary to count the votes? There are three more people on each side, eleven to ten, it is obvious who wins and who loses.
"It seems we have all underestimated Xiao Chong."
"Little guy, get ready, it may be a fierce battle soon." Hua Ling lowered her beautiful eyes and stared at Fang Qingyuan, showing unprecedented fear.
Even Hua Ling did not dare to look down upon the auras revealed by Fang Qingyuan and the other three.
"Um!"
Qin Shi took a deep breath, already preparing for the worst.
"Little guy, can you hear me?"
At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded from Qin Shi's space ring.
Hearing the sound, Qin Shi couldn't help but be startled, and then he was overjoyed: "Senior Xiaoyue?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yue's voice sounded again, with a bit of chill: "Huh, this Xiao Chong, in order to get her son to the throne, is really unscrupulous, even the dead are not spared!"
"Dead person?" Qin Shi frowned in confusion and said, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Yue said bitterly: "You still can't tell that I personally brought my three younger brothers into Tibet a hundred years ago. I can't feel the slightest bit of life from their three brothers. They were clearly used by Xiao Chong. By means of this method, his corpse was manipulated.”
"What?" Qin Shi was shocked: "Is there such a thing? No wonder I felt that the auras of these three people were a little weird before."
"Well, let me out. I didn't want to participate. Since Xiao Chong resorted to such despicable methods, there is no need for me to hide." These words were almost squeezed out from under Xiao Yueya's roots. come out.
At this time, Xiao Chong pulled Fang Heng proudly and turned around to walk towards the dragon chair above the court hall, with sharp and disgusting laughter echoing all the way.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing Fang Heng about to sit on the dragon chair, Qin Shi suddenly stepped forward.
This sound attracted a lot of attention. Xiao Chong looked back and frowned: "Master Qin Zong, do you have anything important to do? If it's not important, I think it's better to wait until Heng'er takes over. This will be delayed. It would be bad if a new king takes the throne!"
Facing Xiao Chong's angry rebuke, Qin Shi smiled indifferently: "Haha, the new king's accession to the throne cannot be delayed, but it seems that who will be the new king has not been decided yet, right?"
"Undecided?" Xiao Chong was stunned. Not only Xiao Chong, but everyone was stunned: "The number of votes is already obvious. Don't you know how to count?"
Regarding this kind of doubt, Qin Shi just smiled disdainfully: "Haha, His Highness Fang Heng is indeed slightly better in the number of votes present, but how do you know that no other royal relatives will stand up to support Xiao Yuzi? ?”
"Other relatives of the emperor?" Everyone was stunned in surprise.
"It's a joke. In the royal family, among the relatives of the emperor in the past two hundred years, except for Fang Wanyan, who has disappeared, all the others are already present. You think there is still someone who can stand up. Are you talking about Fang Wanyan?" Xiao Chong's tone was cold and he glared at Qin Shi.
Regarding this, Concubine Lin and Fang Xin also questioned Qin Shi. Xiao Chong's words were not wrong. Besides Fang Wanyan, who else would be in this royal family
Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Shi always had a leisurely smile on his lips, and stepped forward: "Haha, you will know who it is when you see him."
Qin Shi's actions completely angered Xiao Chong, causing her beautiful eyes to rebuke in a low tone: "Drink, okay, I'll see what tricks you can do!"
"Whether it's a trick or not, you'll know soon." Qin Shi smiled, raised his left hand high, and a faint purple light flashed on his fingertips. After the purple light, there was a raging fire, and the Explosive Flame Pearl emerged from the fire.
As soon as the explosive flame bead came out, Lin Yu suddenly realized: "Yes, it's grandma?"
"grandmother?"
Concubine Lin was startled for a moment, then suddenly stared at the Explosive Flame Pearl.
The Explosive Flame Bead slowly rose into the air and continued to rotate in the center of the court.
During the rotation, a leisurely phantom was gradually exposed in everyone's eyes. This phantom just appeared, causing countless people to open their eyes in horror.
"That is… !"
"Is it Xiaoyue, is it the Empress Dowager?" I don't know who was the first to shout out, causing the field to boil and heat like an erupting volcanic crater.
"Queen Mother! Queen Mother, is it really you?" Concubine Lin and the three sisters Fang Xin's eyes were red with excitement, and tears rolled down their faces.
Xiao Chongjiao's body was trembling violently. She never expected that Xiaoyue would appear. She stared in fear: "You, what, how, how are you still alive? This, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
In response to Xiao Chong's sudden loss of beauty, Qin Shi could only disdain and snort: "Xiao Chong, you thought you had done all the tricks, but you didn't know that you were confused for a moment. In your impression, senior Xiao Yue should be dead, right? Should he be killed? You sent someone to throw it away to the volcano, right? Haha, but unfortunately, you never expected that she would reappear in this court, right?"
Hearing Qin Shi's words, countless people were shocked. The three sisters, Concubine Lin and Fang Xin, looked at Chong angrily: "Xiao Chong, was it you who killed your mother back then?"
Suddenly falling into an embarrassing situation, Xiao Chong took a few steps back in fear, but she immediately adjusted her mentality, took a gentle breath, and said with a smile: "Haha, these sisters are really good at joking, Xiaoyue is also my queen mother, How could I harm her?"
Speaking of this, she smiled at Xiaoyue: "Mother, are you right? I am so happy to see you again. I wonder where you have been in the past hundred years. Why have you never returned to the imperial city?"
Xiao Yue was cold, but she didn't expose Xiao Chong, and she didn't want to push Xiao Chong into trouble at this time, so she just gave a pale smile: "When people get old, they don't like noisy places, and this life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes is just right. "
"Then I don't know why you came back today?" Xiao Chong shouted in a low voice.
Many people frowned. Wasn't this asking questions knowingly
A wisp of breeze blew by, and Xiaoyue's eyes paused for a few seconds on Fang Qingyuan and the other three, and then she showed a look of sadness, but it passed away quickly: "Isn't this a vote? I am an old man, and I should be considered a relative of the emperor." Right? I wonder if I’m eligible to participate?”
After hearing Xiao Yue's words, Xiao Chong's beautiful eyes were obviously downcast, but there was a smile on his face: "Of course, if the queen mother is not qualified, I am afraid that none of us are qualified."
"Haha, this is best." Xiao Yue sneered, bent down and landed next to Lin Yu, patted Lin Yu's shoulder and said, "Yu'er, grandma supports you."
"Thank you grandma."
Xiao Yue's words made Lin Yu's eyes turn red, and he choked up in gratitude. However, what he was grateful for was not Xiao Yue's support, but... Xiao Yue could risk his life for him.
Maybe others don't know it, but he understands very well that Xiaoyue's current physical condition cannot survive outside the Explosive Flame Pearl for a long time. This will probably make her lose her soul and never hope to be reborn.
Looking around, Qin Shi smiled slyly: "Haha, Queen Xiao Chong, you see what I said before is right. Who will sit on this throne has not been decided yet."
Xiao Chong's face darkened and he said coldly: "Huh, don't be too happy. The current vote count is 11 to 11, and Lin Yu is not ahead of Heng'er."
This time, there was a deadlock on the field.
Eleven to eleven, the result was another draw, which made everyone present look helpless.
Qin Shi also looked embarrassed. This situation was not good for them. If they couldn't win this vote, who knows what tricks Xiao Chong would do again.
While everyone was silent, Jade Rakshasa left her seat at some point. She dragged Qianying to Qin Shi's side and said softly: "Shitou, do you really want Lin Yu to ascend the throne?"
The sudden sound made Qin Shi startled. When he turned around and saw Yu Luosha, his eyes immediately softened. He nodded gently and said: "Well, Xiao Yuzi is my brother, the first one to die. Brother, I said that if I want him to become king and emperor, I will definitely let him become king and emperor."
After hearing Qin Shi's resolute response, Jade Rakshasa's charming face showed some complicated emotions, but this emotion was not noticed by everyone behind the cyan silk veil. After a long time, she just nodded lightly: "Okay, I understood."
After saying this, Jade Rakshasa suddenly stepped forward and stood silently next to Lin Yu.
