Hongjuan learned about the current situation in Kyoto from the soldiers outside the city. She was a little worried about the safety of her father and mother, so she rushed to the palace anxiously.
She didn't find anyone on the street along the way, and the entire royal city was completely silent. This was completely different from the lively and prosperous scene when she first came.
It must be that Nangong Yi's army has surrounded the entire capital, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization. Hongjuan couldn't help but become even more angry when she saw the scene in the city.
Because, in Hong Juan's impression, Nangong was considered a gentle and gentle young man. She didn't expect that he had such great ambitions and wealth.
Nowadays, they can actually win over so many people to carry out rebellion.
Although Hongjuan did not want to participate in the affairs of the mortal world, she could not ignore the safety of her father and mother.
Therefore, she wanted to go to the palace to at least ensure the safety of her father and mother.
As for Nangong Yi's rebellion, it depends on how her father wants to deal with it, and she won't interfere too much.
Not long after, Hong Juan arrived outside the palace alone.
But I saw two rows of guards standing neatly outside the palace gate. They were all tall and stern-faced.
However, they wore a white coat outside their heavy armor, and each of them held a white cloth soul-calling flag in their hands.
Hongjuan suddenly realized that something was wrong. Although she had never seen such a formation in the royal city, she knew very well that this was clearly a national funeral!
"Could it be that my father has been killed?!"
Hong Juan's first thought might be that her father had been forced to death by Nangong Yi!
Immediately, she flew into a rage, jumped up, flew to the palace gate, grabbed a guard standing at the side of the gate, at the end of the team, and asked angrily.
"Has father been killed?"
The guard was just an ordinary mortal. In the hands of the second-level cultivator of the Honghua Star, he was lifted up by Honghua like a kitten or puppy.
Many other guards did not react at all when the girl in red appeared in front of the palace, and they did not see clearly how she took action.
However, seeing how easily she lifted a grown man into the air, they immediately realized that this girl in red was a practitioner!
But who is she, who dares to act so boldly in the royal city of the South Vietnam Empire?
Immediately, many guards in front of the palace gate dispersed and surrounded Hong Guan in the center.
Just listen to the guard who was carried in the air by Hong Juan shouting in horror.
"Woman, please forgive me, I'm just a gatekeeper..."
Hong Juan had no intention of listening to his nonsense at this time, and then she used her profound energy and shouted softly.
"I asked if your father was killed?!"
I saw a ring-shaped impact of profound energy suddenly erupted from Hong Juan's feet. A dozen big men around him were instantly blown away by the powerful shock wave and fell two or three feet away.
If Hong Juan hadn't been trying his best to restrain his anger, they might have been killed on the spot!
The man who was lifted up in the air was so frightened that he didn't understand what Hong Juan was asking at this time.
But at this life-threatening moment, he was highly nervous. He suddenly thought of the word "father" mentioned in Hong Juan's question, and immediately reacted.
The girl was asking if the king was dead. Thinking of this, how could he dare to be a little bit negligent? She immediately said to Hong Juan in a trembling voice.
"The king is safe and sound, the queen is safe and sound..."
When Hongjuan heard him yelling hoarsely that the king was fine and the queen was fine, she regained some sense, and then slowly lowered the guard from the air.
The man who was let go fell to the ground because of excessive panic, his legs weakened, and he collapsed on the ground, still repeating what he just said.
Hong Juan had calmed down at this time. When she saw the guards all around her lying on the ground, she suddenly blamed herself for being too impulsive and hurting people before she could figure out the situation.
However, the situation was critical now, and she could no longer care about procrastinating. It was more important to protect her father and mother first.
Immediately, she stepped forward, cupped her fists to the guard who was lying on the ground and said.
"I'm offended. I am Princess Hongyue. I want to enter the palace immediately to see my father and queen!"
After saying that, Hong Juan scurried towards the palace.
However, the guards lying on the ground around them all looked at each other in shock.
They were beaten for no apparent reason, and the other person was a young girl, so who could explain it to them?
Hong Juan flew all the way to the front of the palace hall.
I saw two teams of guards standing in the square of the main palace. Like the guards in front of the palace gate, they were all wearing linen and mourning and holding spiritual flags.
But in the center of the square, stood a tall young man wearing a purple gold dragon robe and a beaded curtain. This man was Nangong Yi!
Everyone in the entire palace was wearing mourning clothes today, except him.
Because today he will ascend the throne!
However, before he ascended the throne, he had to send away the coffin in the main hall first!
This was the condition for Nangong Shuo to agree to abdicate, and he agreed.
Therefore, now he is preparing to order the memorial ceremony to begin.
But at this moment, everyone present focused their attention on Hong Juan, who was standing behind Nangong Yi, and they looked at her with various eyes.
Some are amazed, some are obsessed, and some are enthusiastic...
Although the expressions on all of their faces are very inconsistent with the current scene, they all come from their true intentions, or in other words, from their nature!
Nangong also naturally noticed the strangeness of everyone around him. Originally, all of them were watching him, and they should be watching him, because he was about to become the king of the South Vietnam Empire. From now on, everyone could only look up to him!
However, at this moment, how could anyone make everyone present look away from him? This was something he couldn't understand!
However, he is not a practitioner, and he cannot sense the sudden appearance of Hong Juan behind him. However, now he can guess without sensing that there must be someone behind him who is enough to shock everyone present!
Nangong Yi's insight is so sharp, and it is precisely because of this that he has reached where he is today.
Therefore, he quickly judged from the eyes of the people around him that the person behind him could not be someone else!
Nangong also turned around slowly, dragging his heavy dragon robe and golden crown.
The person who appeared in front of him was exactly who he had inferred, and only she could make those people's eyes appear intoxicated, amazed, enthusiastic and greedy!
"Sister Royal!"
Nangong was still as calm as ever. He politely greeted Hong Juan with his fists clasped.
The beautiful red eyes are cold and stern, and the red lips are slightly parted.
"You want to seize the throne?!"
"Sister Huang has misunderstood. I just want the people of the South Vietnam Empire to live a better life."
"Are they doing well now?"
"I mean I'm going to make their lives better."
"Then what did the father say?"
"He said yes!"
Hong Juan did not continue to talk about this topic, because since her father had already agreed, she was not willing to interfere too much with the imperial power of the South Vietnamese royal family.
As for whether Nangong could lie, Hongwen naturally didn't need to ask.
Because he doesn't dare!
Immediately, Hong Juan turned his attention to the main hall.
I saw a dark coffin placed in the center of the main hall, with a bunch of white silk tied at each end. The entire hall was filled with candlesticks.
There are dozens of people kneeling in rows on both sides of the main hall. They are all young men and women of the same age as themselves. They are all wearing sackcloth and mourning, guarding both sides of the coffin.
There is a spiritual tablet directly in front of the coffin, but there is nothing written on the spiritual tablet.
Hong Juan's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. She looked at Nangong Yi in confusion and asked slowly.
"Who is this honoring?"
Hearing Hong Juan's question, Nangong Yi's face suddenly turned a little ugly, but he couldn't lie, and he didn't dare to lie.
However, he could also guess that if Hong Juan knew about the person being commemorated in this coffin, the lives of everyone present would be in danger!
However, Hong Juan is asking him now, not someone else, so he can only answer.
"It's a boy!"
"What kind of boy?"
"A boy just like you!"
"what is his name?"
"He said his name is Xiaoyun!"
Hong Jing's beautiful eyes trembled unnaturally, and her expression showed no change at all.
However, when she spoke again, her voice had turned cold.
"Don't you dare lie to me!"
"Yes!"
Nangong Yi's tone was firm and decisive.
However, a hint of murderous intent flashed through Hong Juan's beautiful eyes!
This made Nangong also instantly feel as if he had fallen into an endless cold pool. His whole body was bone-chilling, and the chill penetrated deep into his bones.
"You said you didn't lie to me, but there is no one in the coffin!"
Nangong also immediately understood why Hong Juan questioned him. Obviously, with Hong Juan's cultivation level, it was easy to detect that there was no one in the coffin.
However, Nangong Yi knew very well that Nangong Yun was indeed dead, so he could only tell Hong Juan this fact!
"Wan Zhentian killed him with his own hands!"
After hearing these words, Hongjuan suddenly felt that her heart seemed to be grabbed by something. She felt that her heartbeat was slowing down little by little, and her body was getting colder.
Naturally, Nangong noticed something strange about Hong Juan. He was worried that Hong Juan would misunderstand something, so he continued.
"You know, he is the master of the Wanxiang Sect in the Western Region, and it is said that his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the stars!"
Nangong Yi's words once again made Hongjuan's heart tighten and start to sting a little. Her eyes no longer had the previous light, but were replaced by doubt and disbelief!
Nangong can also see that Hongjuan's current state is very fragile and also very dangerous.
However, he is the closest to Hong Juan, which means that he can only rely on himself now. No one can help him or save him!
However, he can't just give up. He still has too many things to do and want to do.
So he must speak!
Because if he continues to be silent like this, he will most likely be the first to die!
