Chapter 763: You, you actually know me?
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Not long after Cheng Guang left the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, the commotion that had arisen due to him subsided, and the palace gradually regained its tranquility.At the same time, even if the various ministers within the Court were not present, the Great Zhou Imperial Family had already decided that Wu Ling would become the new Emperor Zhou.
Inside the sleeping chamber of Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li sat at the head.
At this moment, Cheng Guang had previously instructed sect master Xue Yao of the Long Sword Sect and others to maintain the status quo and not to let Great Tang or the Great Tang Emperor perceive anything unusual.
Thus, sect master Xue Yao of the Long Sword Sect and others had not left the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
...
Empress Dowager Li looked around and, after glancing at the congregation of princes and princesses, and the royal family and relatives, she slowly began to speak, “This year, our Great Zhou Imperial Family has experienced such disgrace; fortunately, we received assistance from my grandson, alleviating the crisis.”
Having said this, many among the royal family and relatives, princes and princesses, lowered their heads in shame, unable to meet Empress Dowager Li’s gaze directly.
After all, they also understood that they had truly embarrassed themselves this time.
After Empress Dowager Li finished speaking, she paused for a while, then spoke again,
“This incident, although it has brought shame upon our Great Zhou Imperial Family, was not entirely without benefit; at least it has made it clear to this old woman the gap between all of you and Wu Ling.”
“The Emperor’s judgment was not wrong.”
“In the Emperor’s absence, this old woman will take charge. Let Wu Ling ascend to the Great Zhou throne today.”
As soon as Empress Dowager Li’s words fell, murmurs erupted among the royal family and relatives.
Although they had long suspected that Empress Dowager Li might allow Wu Ling to inherit the position of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, the realization of such a reality still instinctively made them uncomfortable.
After all, in their view, Wu Ling was an outsider, fundamentally unsuitable to continue the Great Zhou throne.
But now, even though they felt uncomfortable, no one stood up to oppose it at this time.
Even Empress Wang, who had always wanted her son Wu Ming to inherit the throne, kept her head down quietly, and did not speak out, let alone the rest of the princes, princesses, and the beauties of the palace.
Now that Wu Ling’s position as the Empress of Great Zhou was almost certain, if they were to stubbornly oppose Wu Ling’s ascension to the throne at this juncture, then once Wu Ling eventually inherited the throne, it would likely not bode well for these consorts.
Whomsoever Wu Ling wished to exact revenge on, she could.
It was as easy as child’s play.
At this time.
Inside Empress Dowager Li’s sleeping chamber, including Empress Wang, the assembly of palace concubines, princes, princesses, and the royal family and relatives, all remained silent, and the chamber fell into quietude.
After Empress Dowager Li looked around once more and saw that no one spoke again, she nodded slightly.
“Since everyone has no objections, then after this matter settles, let Wu Ling inherit the throne.”
Empress Dowager Li said, turning her gaze to Wu Ling.
Not only was Empress Dowager Li looking at Wu Ling, but at that moment in the chamber, everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.
Previously, Wu Ling, as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, was unremarkable and overlooked by many; now, Wu Ling was truly the future heir of Great Zhou.
The difference was like night and day.
“Wu Ling, come,” beckoned Empress Dowager Li with a wave of her hand.
Wu Ling stepped forward slowly to Empress Dowager Li’s side and bowed slightly, “Empress Dowager.”
Empress Dowager Li gently patted Wu Ling’s shoulder and couldn’t help but sigh, “These days have been hard on you.”
Wu Ling shook her head.
Empress Dowager Li remembered something else and said, “Although I have already taken the decision to let you inherit the Great Zhou throne, it is not yet time; we must wait a while longer.”
“My grandson Guanger, I don’t know what he intends to do. He did not exterminate all the Sky-Men including sect master Xue Yao, nor did he annihilate all those audacious criminals who dared to cause chaos in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.”
Empress Dowager Li furrowed her brows slightly as she spoke, clearly puzzled.
Not only was Empress Dowager Li somewhat baffled, Empress Wang felt the same.
“Indeed, Empress Dowager, the Princely Heir’s intentions are unclear,” said Empress Wang, her pretty brows knitted in confusion, but then, upon another thought, she began to reassure Empress Dowager Li and Wu Ling,
“Fortunately, after the Princely Heir’s involvement, people like sect master Xue Yao dare not do anything to our royal family. Aside from the presence of several people from the Martial World’s factions in our Imperial Palace, there’s no other difference.”
“You, Wu Ling, just wait peacefully to inherit the throne later. Nothing unexpected will happen.”
Wu Ling nodded slightly.
She was, in fact, not worried at all.
Wu Ling knew that Princely Heir Cheng Guang, with a single move, had nearly killed the four Sky-Men including sect master Xue Yao.
Now, intentionally leaving sect master Xue Yao and the others was also part of Princely Heir Cheng Guang’s plan.
At this point, there was probably no danger to sect master Xue Yao and the four others.
Even if sect master Xue Yao and the four Sky-Men were given ten times or a hundred times more courage, it would not be of much use.
Princely Heir Cheng Guang would not give them the slightest chance.
