Palace banquet on the second day.
Four masked demon foxes appeared on the most prosperous street in the capital carrying a gorgeous vermilion sedan.
Wen Yuan was wearing a black costume embroidered by demon butterflies with Wanmoyuan's skillful hands, sitting under a gauze curtain, surrounded by demons, and the surrounding mist gradually swallowed up passers-by.
Dark clouds cover the moon, and the capital undergoes drastic changes due to the appearance of the Demon King. Wen Yuan, as the last guest of the night banquet, alighted from the sedan chair to the Hall of Supreme Harmony where everyone was.
Just now, there was the sound of celebration inside, pushing cups and changing cups, but now they are frozen at this moment.
"Did I come too late? The new emperor ascended the throne, and prestigious dignitaries gathered together to praise each other, ha..."
Wen Yuan sat in a conspicuous position that did not belong to her, and the owner of this position had just returned from the garden. "Why did this woman take my position while I was sobering up?"
Wen Yuan tonight is very different from usual. Today she is completely in a demonized image. Her coquettish and gorgeous appearance is very different from usual, so it is normal for some people not to recognize her.
The woman stepped forward and wanted Wen Yuan to get out of her way, but she was stared at and flew several meters away. Fortunately, Wen Yuan did not mean to kill her, and the woman was not injured.
She used her demonic power to lift the wine glass on the table out of thin air. The clear wine rippled back and forth in the glass without spilling any.
Finally, after Wen Yuan drank the glass of wine, he controlled the wine glass in his hand and flew towards Wen Yunren who was sitting on top of the throne.
Her thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly as she spoke, "Emperor, your Majesty said yesterday that I was stopped outside the palace gate as Princess Xianyang yesterday, and today I will come here with another identity."
At this time, Wen Yunren's expression was extremely ugly, "It seems that you are surprised by my arrival, right?"
Wen Yunren saw that everyone in His Highness had a layer of suspicion on their faces. He didn't want to be embarrassed by Wen Yuan in front of so many people, so he immediately retorted: "I am really surprised. After all, there are so many demon hunters in the palace. How dare you, a monster like you, come in? Aren't you afraid that you will become their prey?"
He originally thought that his words would make Wen Yuan angry, but Wen Yunren never expected that these words not only did not cause any harm to Wen Yuan, but also made her feel ridiculous, "I used to disdain the monster hunter in this palace, and even more Don’t mention it now. Perhaps the emperor should seriously consider the suggestion I made to you before. If our two clans join forces, what else can we do to make things right?"
What Wen Yunren needs most since he was a child is the recognition of others. How could he agree to Wen Yuan at this time? He had to look disgusted to win the recognition of those who came to the night banquet.
But he was wrong. He shouldn't offend Wen Yuan just for his pitiful vanity.
"I will not listen to the evildoer. Come here! Capture this evil woman for me!"
After saying that, a group of unfamiliar guards rushed into the hall and surrounded Wen Yuan, "Wen Yunren, you really refuse to drink the toast...you have to drink the wine as a penalty."
Wen Yuan had given Wen Yunren a lot of patience before because he was kind to her when he was young, but now looking at these guards with bright swords, Wen Yuan felt a chill in her heart. It was this incident that made her understand. You can't keep the same view you had many years ago for anyone. People will change after all, just like what Shen Huaiyan said.
She waved her hand and tied up all the guards with demon power. When she looked at Wen Yunren, Wen Yuan's eyes showed obvious disappointment, "Emperor, can the demon race and the human race really not be able to coexist peacefully?"
"cannot."
Hearing his answer without thinking, Wen Yuan was disheartened. Well, this is the good emperor he chose. "I made a mistake. The moment the old emperor died, I shouldn't have let my own people replace the old emperor's edict. Otherwise, there should be another person in front of me now."
After saying that, Wen Yuan left without looking back, but what she said today has caused quite a shock to the people present. What does it mean to replace the old emperor's edict?
What's the meaning?
Not to mention these people, even Wen Yunren himself fell into deep doubts, "Is what Wen Yuan said true or false? Did she really replace my father's imperial edict just to make me the emperor? I... …Then…who does the emperor think is the right person to inherit the throne?!”
The palace banquet that night ended in a muddle, and the news spread to every corner of the capital the next day.
Everyone is saying that their current emperor was promoted by Wen Yuan. If it were not for Wen Yuan, Wen Yunren's intelligence would not be worthy of being the emperor at all.
And Wen Yunren, who got the news in the palace, was completely inferior to himself. Yes, he was not born to be an emperor. He didn't even blame himself for going to school slower than other princes and for being playful with his father.
I used to think that my father was kind to me, but now it seems that... he has never placed hope on himself.
Just at this time, the queen came to bring nourishing soup to Wen Yunren. The man grabbed his wife's hand and asked her if she was useless. This frightened the queen, who had always been gentle and kind, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" How could you be useless? Now you are the emperor of the ninth rank."
After hearing what the queen said, Wen Yunren let go of his hand. Seeing this, the queen quickly found an excuse to leave. She didn't want to stay with this crazy man all the time.
At this time, Concubine Shu came in from the outside. When she saw the queen, she not only refused to greet her, she even taunted her, "What's wrong with the queen? She looks lost. Could it be that she was kicked out by the emperor?"
She smiled sarcastically and bumped into the queen on purpose. Although the queen was angry, she was too lazy to argue with her.
Seeing Concubine Shu coming, Wen Yunren's face finally looked a little happy, "My concubine is here, sit down quickly."
However, after the woman sat firmly, he still asked the question just now, "Do you think I am useless?"
Concubine Shu was sweeter than the empress, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I have already heard about what happened yesterday. If you want me to tell you, it is just the witch who is talking nonsense to deceive people. This is the way she wants to do it." Let Your Majesty and your brothers be suspicious of each other, and in the end the snipe and the clam will fight over her, and the fisherman will gain."
After hearing Concubine Shu's words, the man suddenly understood. Yes, why didn't he expect this? Wen Yunren hugged Concubine Shu next to him, "Sure enough, you are the one who can make me most comfortable."
"Then the emperor will come to my concubine's palace tonight. I will be ready to wait for the emperor's arrival."
After the queen returned to the palace, the eldest maid next to her dared to vent her dissatisfaction, "Queen, you are the head of the palace now, so Concubine Shu dares to talk to you like this even with the concubine."
"She is the most favored, so naturally she dares to talk to me like this. It doesn't matter, I just need to avoid her."
The eldest palace maid was about to say something more when another woman's voice suddenly came from the palace, "The queen is so submissive, no wonder a concubine dares to bully you."
"Who?! Who is talking?!" Although the eldest palace maid had a bad temper, she was really loyal. When she heard the voice, she immediately protected the queen behind her.
Wen Yuan walked out from behind the screen. Her charming smile charmed the queen, "It turns out to be Princess Xianyang. Please sit down, princess."
The eldest palace maid wanted to stop the queen, "Your Majesty, this is..."
"Go make tea."
The queen was a smart person. She could tell at a glance that Wen Yuan came to her for something important, so she found an excuse to send the eldest palace maid away.
After the palace maid left, the queen invited Wen Yuan to sit down and said, "Princess Xianyang came to me today after careful consideration. She just doesn't know what help I can do to Princess Xianyang?"
"I need you to control the Emperor so that I can complete my plan, a plan I have been plotting for a long time."
Control the emperor? The Queen couldn't stop laughing immediately after hearing these words, "If it were other matters, I might be able to help Princess Xianyang, but I can't do anything about this matter."
Her eyes were dull and she looked like a puppet, "The Emperor and I have no relationship as husband and wife, so how can I control him?"
"Of course I have my own way to let you control him."
At this time, Wen Yuan took out a small bottle from his pocket and said, "There is a brain-eating worm inside. As long as you put this worm into the emperor's ear, he will obey you soon. By then, this palace will On the surface, it belongs to him, but in fact, the power is completely in your hands. Don’t you want to experience this kind of pleasure that is superior to that of ten thousand people?”
"But I am always inferior to one person, right?" A shrewd light flashed in the queen's eyes.
Wen Yuan knew what she meant, "Of course, that insect obeys my orders, and I can also let him change his host."
"But Princess Xianyang, why do you think I will definitely help you?"
"Because you hate the Emperor, don't you?"
And... there is another important reason. Wen Yuan leaned close to the queen's ear and whispered: "Your biological father is in Wanmoyuan now. He asked me to take care of you."
The queen's pupils shrank obviously when she heard this, and her expression soon became calm, "It turns out that Princess Xianyang already knows that my biological father is a demon."
"Naturally, I am also a half-demon myself, so I am happy to accept all half-demon who are not looked down upon. As long as you complete the tasks I give you, you will have a place in the Abyss of Demons."
This condition made the queen very excited. She took the brain-eating worm from Wen Yuan's hand and said, "I will definitely handle the things assigned by the commander-in-chief. Don't worry."
"With you, I feel relieved."
When Wen Yuan was about to leave, he remembered what happened just now, "Ah... To thank you, I'll help you play tricks on Concubine Shu. Just wait and see."
To be honest, the queen was really curious about how Wen Yuan was going to play tricks on Concubine Shu, but with her methods... wouldn't she kill Concubine Shu?
The more the queen thought about it, the more frightened she became, but when she lowered her head and saw the bottle in her hand, she felt courageous enough.
