Chapter 304: There Is No Two Suns in the Sky, and No Country Has Two Rulers

Wu Mei frowned, "What do you mean?"

"In that case, let me explain it to Your Majesty."

Chai Hong put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and walked under the statue.

"As your Majesty knows, this was once the location of the Demon Suppression Tower."

"And you, with the essence and blood of a hundred dragons, personally ended the traces of the Yuchen Empire's existence, making the Panlong Great Seal a lost object that can no longer suppress Dawu's national destiny."

"After that, the three princes will all die, and you will officially ascend the throne as the co-lord of the world, and use the great power of heaven and earth to upgrade Dawu."

"This Great Martial Emperor's Seal in my old minister's hand is a symbol of what you have done."

While speaking, Chai Hong took out the imperial seal, and saw that the imperial seal was directly out of Chai Hong's control and slowly flew into Wu Mei's hand.

Holding this brand new imperial seal in her hand, Wu Mei only felt that it was extremely hot.

"I've never done any of these things!"

"No, of course you did!"

Chai Hong interrupted Wu Mei and looked here with his white eyes.

"Is it the past, the present, or the future?"

"Your Majesty, do you believe in destiny?"

As soon as these words came out, they successfully ignited the anger in Wu Mei's heart.

"So you treat Ling'er as a chess piece in your hand, just for the sake of destiny?"

"No no no."

Chai Hong slowly shook his head, "Your Majesty, you have made a mistake about the relationship between you and the Ling family and me."

"If it weren't for the veteran, you and Ling Yaning would never have the chance to meet each other."

"What did you say?"

Wu Mei's mouth opened slightly, as if she realized something.

Chai Hong smiled slightly, "Then, Your Majesty, let me tell you a story about you."

In the story told by Chai Hong.

Wu Mei did not get the support of the Ling family, and she never recognized Ling Yaning.

She did not rebelliously travel around the mountains and rivers, searching for clues about San Gong.

Instead, he stayed in the Dawu Palace, learning the ways of being a king from Gongmen Quan, and treating Chai Hong as his grandfather.

Everything was so peaceful, Dawu's national power was growing day by day, and no soldiers died due to the turmoil.

Until Chai Hongshou died, Wu Mei also ushered in the end of her life more than ten years later, and passed the throne to the next heir.

There were no surprises. It seemed that that was the path Wu Mei should take.

"So, what's going on now?"

Wu Mei stared at Chai Hong, as if she wanted an explanation.

"Because of me!" Chai Hong said decisively.

"I have been in Dawu for more than eighty years and have spent my whole life in Dawu. Your Majesty, including your parents, are all children I have watched grow up!"

"I have used my whole life to repay the kindness of the Wuji Alliance for raising me for eighteen years, and I have nothing to do with the Wuji League since then."

"Then after I die, I will at least do something for Dawu."

"So I discovered that the culprit who hindered Dawu was none other than the three nobles in the palace, the old minister himself!"

Looking at Wu Mei, Chai Hong seemed to have an expression of reminiscence.

"Your Majesty, do you know why you have been assassinated since you were a child?"

Wu Mei was stunned, "Why?"

"Because of me!"

"I was aware of my existence when I was alive, and he knew that only by killing you could he end this wrong time."

"And the Ling family is my tool to protect you."

"You have felt it too. Since two years ago, you have never been assassinated again."

"Because at that time, it happened to be the day when the old minister died."

Listening to Chai Hong's words, the look of horror on Wu Mei's face became more intense.

Now that Chai Hong has revealed his plan, everything makes sense.

"So, everyone is your pawn, and you calculated everything for your promotion?"

"That's not to say everything."

Chai Hong glanced at Gao Qiang, who was eating melon on the side.

"At least the Gao family shouldn't exist. It seems that there was an accident somewhere that caused the Wuji Alliance to interfere with the trajectory of the world."

"But in the end, everything fell into place."

While talking, Chai Hong took out a dagger and walked slowly towards Wu Mei.

"There are no two masters in a country, just as there are no two days in the sky. Now I have created the best environment for you."

The dagger was handed to Wu Mei's hand by Chai Hong.

Then Chai Hong pointed at Gao Qiang.

"Kill him, and you can go back and regain the throne. After you are promoted, even the Wuji Alliance will no longer be able to interfere with you."

"At that time, Dawu will be truly free!"

"And I, old minister, can rest in peace under the spring."

Why does the topic keep getting brought back to me?

It felt like the atmosphere on the court was not quite right.

Gao Qiang got off the sedan and took a few steps back.

In this current situation, he seems to have arrived at a certain point in time in the royal forbidden area.

No one expected Chai Hong to have such an ability.

Therefore, neither Shasha and others nor Heituanzi followed, and Gao Qiang didn't know whether Genman was still protecting him.

In addition, Gao Qiang himself has almost no combat power, and he can only use the Jingzhao obtained through the fourth-level miracle path.

However, there are only nine marks left, and Gao Qiang is not sure whether it will be effective on Wu Mei or Chai Hong.

However, at this time, before Gao Qiang could use Jiao Zhao, Wu Mei took the dagger and suddenly became violent and stabbed the dagger into Chai Hong's heart.

"Enough!"

Gasps for air, Wu Mei stares at the blood gushing out of Chai Hong's heart, staining her hands.

"I've always treated you as my grandfather." Wu Mei trembles as she speaks.

"At least once, I treated you as my grandfather."

She takes out the dagger, and the amount of blood that bleeds like a fountain directly stains Wu Mei's clothes even more red.

"But no matter what excuses and reasons you have, you shouldn't treat Ling'er as your chess piece, let alone Da Wu as your chessboard."

"I'd rather live a peaceful life and die like you said, rather than watching my relatives and friends die one by one and living a truly lonely life."

As she speaks, two lines of tears fall from Wu Mei's eyes.

"If possible, I'd rather Ling'er never knew me and live her own life!"

A trembling old arm is raised to wipe away the tears from Wu Mei's eyes.

Wu Mei raised her head in shock, only to see Chai Hong looking at her kindly.

"Your Majesty, you have grown up too."

The old arm slowly drooped, and Chai Hong gradually lost his vitality.

But at this moment.

Behind Ling Yaning's statue, another figure walked out again.

Chai Hong, alive again!

The returning Chai Hong continued: "But Your Majesty, you are destined to become the Lord of Dawu, and this is how it should be."

"Why don't you turn around and take a look?"
