Chapter 363 -216: Asking His Majesty to Abdicate, An Imperial Family Ancestor Steps Forward!_2
What status does he have to offer the Saint Heir a seat!?
How dare he use the word “grant” towards the Saint Heir!
Not to mention that both of them have now clearly pledged allegiance to the young master, but even without that relationship, the Saint Heir of the Sword Sect is too noble to be spoken of in such a manner, how could he have the audacity to offer a seat!
“Please, there’s no need for me to sit,”
“Could Your Majesty help guide me to meet the Ancestor of the Imperial Family?”
Gu Changge waved his hand, showing no intention of wasting time here.
“…”
The Emperor of the Northern Domain’s eyelids twitched slightly; even he couldn’t easily meet with the former Emperors in the Imperial Mausoleum.
For a moment, he didn’t even know how to respond.
If he misspoke, the two Sages from the Central State would become dissatisfied.
Eventually, an Eighth Grade Old Prince stepped forward, cupping his hands and apologizing with a smile: “The Ancestor is not someone we can meet at will; may I ask if there is any matter with which the Saint Heir needs assistance, and if possible, I shall fulfill it.”
“This… I’m afraid you really can’t fulfill it.”
Gu Changge shook his head slightly.
“Why not talk and see, perhaps I can manage it.”
The Emperor of the Northern Domain frowned slightly; he too had his pride. He, the mighty emperor, was now being side-stepped as this fellow only wished to meet the Imperial Ancestor; was there something he couldn’t address himself?
Having risen to power, he was so arrogant that he no longer considered anyone else worthy of his attention!
“All right…”
“I have come here for a very simple purpose, I ask that His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Domain abdicate.”
Since the conversation led here, Gu Changge proceeded to speak his mind directly in front of everyone.
“What!?”
Hearing his words, the Northern Domain Emperor stood up!
His eyes widened in shock!
Utter disbelief was written all over his face!
He had thought the young man was here to ask for benefits, looking to divide the Imperial Family’s cities and resources in the Northern Domain.
But…
He actually had his eyes on the throne!?
“This…this!?”
The Great Powers of the Northern Domain Imperial Family were also stunned, speechless for a long moment.
No wonder he wanted to meet with the Imperial Ancestor; this matter…
Indeed only the Imperial Ancestor could manage!
In the hall, the Crown Prince Wang Xing tried to become as inconspicuous as possible.
Prince Wang Cheng, upon hearing these words, felt his mind buzzing.
He was serious!
Everything he had said before was serious!
And he wasn’t planning to use any schemes or plots; he intended to brazenly come to the Imperial City and make the Emperor abdicate!
“You want to take this position!?”
The Northern Domain Emperor, beyond shocked, looked at him incredulously.
Never had he thought this young man, like himself, also harbored the ambition to unite the Northern Domain!
“No, I am not interested.”
“But if my wife likes it, I’ll help her fulfill a dream, just for the thrill of it.”
Gu Changge shook his head; he truly had no interest in the throne.
But the thought of Wang Yue becoming Empress, wearing the Emperor Robe, and waiting for him upon the Dragon Bed appealed to him.
“…”
“She?”
The Northern Domain Emperor opened his mouth, turning to look at his smiling daughter Wang Yue.
Little did he expect that sending her to the Gu Family to gather information would now be his downfall…
“This…”
Everyone else was also taken aback, not expecting that Saint Gu was contending for the throne for Wang Yue. In this way, it seemed the throne did not fall into outsiders’ hands, but remained with the Wang Family.
The only one who would lose out was the Northern Domain Emperor himself.
Others had nothing to lose as Wang Yue was of the Wang bloodline, and would not make things difficult for the Old Princes, and even the former officials would still be useful; there likely wouldn’t be much change.
At most, they would grow closer to the Gu Family.
But now, with the Gu Family’s unstoppable momentum, growing closer to them might even be a blessing!
The people present began to feel tempted.
“The tide has turned against Father Emperor…”
Wang Xing sighed inwardly as he watched the scene unfold.
Even Wang Cheng understood now.
No one dared to disobey the Emperor on a normal day, but now… their attitudes had changed.
They started leaning towards the Little Sister; these astute people could see the Emperor was powerless to change the outcome.
“Yue’er, if you want the throne, why should I not grant it to you.”
“Why the need for all this?”
After a moment of pondering, the Northern Domain Emperor spoke indifferently.
“In that case, Yue’er would like to thank Father Emperor.”
“When shall the abdication take place?”
Wang Yue asked with a slight smile, offering a bow.
She held no affection for this Emperor; once neglected by him for giving birth to a girl instead of a boy, her own mother had been shunned and ridiculed, and ultimately succumbed to grief with her already weak Realm.
“…”
The Northern Domain Emperor opened his mouth, but now he seemed out of options.
“Your Majesty, this might not be a bad turn of events.”
“It has no disadvantages for our Wang lineage.”
That Eighth Grade Old Prince said with his hands clasped together.
“Yes, if Your Majesty abdicates in favor of Princess’ Highness, it might not be a bad thing at all!”
“You might even leave behind a good reputation!”
“Besides, even after abdicating, you are still the Supreme Emperor!”
Many Imperial Family Great Powers also echoed in agreement.
“Do you want to rebel!?”
The Northern Domain Emperor, already overwhelmed, became furious at their words; had it not been for the presence of the two Sage Realm Great Powers from the Sword Sect, he would have wanted to slap these people dead!
The dogs he had raised were daring to help others today!?
Hearing his angry words, those present simply bowed and did not respond.
It was as if the rebellious one was the Northern Domain Emperor…
Wang Yue, the wife of the Saint Heir, had already become the consensus.
Just as the Northern Domain Emperor was about to say something else,
Three figures appeared in the hall.
Besides Gu Haitang, two others were dressed in Emperor Robes.
