The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 167: Shocking the Entire City, The Primordial Emperor Issues an Edict!

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Shocking the Entire City, The Primordial Emperor Issues an Edict!

The Primordial Emperor, seated on the Dragon Chair, wore a Purple Gold Crown, the beaded curtain trembling, his majesty as vast as the sea.

"Have her wait in the Imperial Study Room!" the Primordial Emperor said coldly.

During the early court session, no one from the harem could appear!

This was the rule in the Tianyuan Dynasty!

"Yes!"

The young eunuch retreated outside the hall.

The Empress stood proudly in her phoenix robe, expressionless, her eyes glazed over.

*Everyone who saw her felt a chill down their spine.*

The young eunuch hurriedly ran over, kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has asked you to wait for him in the Imperial Study Room."

The Empress turned coldly, boarding the phoenix carriage, which the eunuchs lifted.

"Tell the Emperor, I’m fine!" the Empress said indifferently.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the young eunuch bowed his head and said. "Wishing Your Majesty a safe journey!"

As the eunuchs turned with the phoenix carriage, they encountered a woman approaching in her sedan chair.

The woman wore a luxurious robe, her eyes sharp, exuding untouchable majesty.

She was the Noble Princess Consort Hua!

The mother of the Fifth Prince, Tang Feng, and the Eleventh Prince.

Seeing the Empress’s phoenix carriage, the bearers immediately stopped.

Noble Princess Consort Hua stepped down.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" she said with a slight bow beside her sedan chair.

The Empress didn’t even glance at Noble Princess Consort Hua, about to have the eunuchs carry her away.

"Your Majesty, supporters of the Eighth Prince have comprehended the eighty-one sitting forget divine monuments," Noble Princess Consort Hua said with a heavy tone as she saw the Empress about to leave.

The Empress lifted her hand.

"Stop!"

The eunuchs immediately halted the phoenix carriage, gently setting it down.

"Your Majesty, my son Tang Feng asked me to find the Emperor, requesting him to issue an imperial decree to execute that person.

Moreover, my son and the Third Prince Tang Ning have already allied.

I believe today, there is no need for us to fight any longer.

Let us go together to request an imperial decree from the Emperor, shall we?" Noble Princess Consort Hua said, her eyes slightly lifted.

The Empress’s gaze tightened.

"Turn around!" she said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuchs lifted the phoenix carriage, turned back, and headed towards the hall.

Noble Princess Consort Hua returned to her sedan chair, carried by the eunuchs, following behind the Empress’s phoenix carriage.

All the way to the entrance of the hall, then stood before the door, requesting an announcement.

A young eunuch approached the hall, whispered a few words next to the chief eunuch by the Primordial Emperor’s side.

The message was conveyed to the Primordial Emperor, whose expression remained steady and unchanged.

He listened to the voices of the ministers below, slowly opening his mouth.

"Esteemed ministers, let us call the discussion to a close today, and adjourn the court," the Primordial Emperor said.

The debating voices below halted, and the ministers returned to their places, bowing and retreating.

"Ministers, take your leave!"

The ministers backed away one by one, leaving the hall.

Once they had all departed, the Primordial Emperor’s eyes subtly shifted.

The chief eunuch beside him, understanding, called out.

"Summon the Empress and Noble Princess Consort Hua to the hall!"

After the call, the Empress and Noble Princess Consort Hua entered the hall together.

Both kneeled, calling out their greetings to the Emperor.

"What matters do you have that cannot wait until I have adjourned court?" the Primordial Emperor asked in the coldest tone.

His imperial authority pressed down, causing both the Empress and Noble Princess Consort Hua to tremble.

*They knew the Primordial Emperor was displeased.*

*If unable to provide a satisfactory answer, the two would face reprimand today.*

"Your Majesty, supporters of the Eighth Prince, that Emperor of the Tianquan Dynasty, have offended you, deserving execution!" the Empress said.

Noble Princess Consort Hua also bowed her head.

"I believe so too, Your Majesty!"

The Primordial Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"They have offended me? Who told you this?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

The hearts of the Empress and Noble Princess Consort Hua sank.

"Your Majesty, isn’t it true that he has offended you?" the Empress asked softly.

"No, on the contrary, he has pleased me greatly!" the Primordial Emperor replied calmly.

Yang Yan understood his meaning and persuaded the Eighth Prince to forgo vying for the Crown Prince Candidate’s position.

Such a person, he liked most!

"This..." The Empress and Noble Princess Consort Hua were momentarily speechless.

"Your Majesty, he has pleased you, so why did you abolish the Eighth Prince’s contention for the Crown Prince Candidate’s position?" Noble Princess Consort Hua cautiously inquired.

The Primordial Emperor snorted coldly.

"I have my reasons; do you both need to know?"

"Your Majesty, we dare not," they quickly replied, frightened.

At that moment, the young eunuch again ran in from outside, kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Noble Princess Consort Liu, Princess Consort Li, Consort Yang, Consort Zheng... seek an audience." The young eunuch was shivering as he felt the imperial pressure.

The Primordial Emperor frowned.

"Let them enter!"

"Yes."

In no time, a group of women entered the hall, seeing the kneeling Empress and Noble Princess Consort Hua.

They immediately kneeled, each one speaking.

"Your Majesty, the supporters of the Eighth Prince have offended you, please issue an order to execute him!" Noble Princess Consort Liu said.

She was the mother of the Eldest Prince!

"Please issue an order to execute the supporters of the Eighth Prince!"

The others spoke in succession.

"You all want me to kill him; what exactly happened?" the Primordial Emperor asked.

"If you don’t speak, finding out for myself is quite simple!

If you’re wrong, you know the consequences!"

Noble Princess Consort Liu glanced at the others, boldly revealing the truth.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Tianquan Dynasty is comprehending the Zuowang Divine Stele!

He is about to understand his first hundred slabs!

We fear that the Eighth Prince, supported by him, will regain your attention!

Then the position of Crown Prince Candidate will be at risk, so..."

The Primordial Emperor’s expression changed abruptly.

A hundred Zuowang Divine Slabs!

With his current cultivation and insight into the Great Dao,

even he could only comprehend up to eighty slabs.

The other side was approaching the hundredth slab!

*Such genius...*

"Old Eighth, oh Old Eighth, your ability astonishes me.

I had always thought of you as mediocre.

Unexpectedly, you have gained the support of such an unparalleled genius, how could this not concern me!"

The Primordial Emperor highly valued his own position, and any remarkable ability unearthed among the Princes posed the greatest threat to his throne.

"Recently, even the Prime Minister submitted a memorial suggesting I should follow the precedent of the previous emperor and abdicate.

I deferred it, citing the lack of a Crown Prince.

Immediately, numerous ministers advised, forcing me to establish the position of Crown Prince Candidate, hoping to delay a while.

No one expected you to suddenly emerge." The Primordial Emperor’s complexion changed.

"Today, a minister saw you eliminated from the competition and wanted to restore justice for you.

He said you had the support of a Dynasty and could undertake great responsibility.

Now your supporter has done this remarkable thing." The Primordial Emperor looked outside, able to observe the situation at Wentian Daoist School.

The entire city surged, surrounding Wentian Daoist School impenetrably!

"The whole city is in uproar!"

His eyes shifted, seeing Yang Yan comprehending the ninety-eighth Zuowang Divine Slab.

"Just two more to reach a hundred.

You, oh you!

Ultimately, you never heeded my words.

Though you persuaded the Eighth Prince, you went to comprehend the Zuowang Divine Stele, showcasing your strength.

*This reflects your dissatisfaction with my decision to remove the Eighth Prince from the Crown Prince Candidate’s position!*

*Did you not realize your actions now are mocking me?*"

The Primordial Emperor remained silent, yet the atmosphere around him grew increasingly oppressive.

Kneeling below, the Empress, Noble Princess Consort Hua, and the others looked grim.

*Murderous intent! It’s over, could the Emperor be preparing to punish us?* thought the Empress.

The others were equally worried, their hearts unsettled.

"Convey my decree, that the Eighth Prince Tang Zhenyuan and his supporters, for deceiving the sovereign and disregarding my will, be executed immediately!

Anyone obstructing or disobeying will face the same punishment!"

The Primordial Emperor’s voice echoed, clearly heard within and beyond the Imperial Palace.
