592: News of the Heavenly Dragon Mystic Lotus

The night was as still as water, but Yingtian Prefecture was not peaceful.

Outside the Ninth Princesss Manor, a group of people knelt; Zuo Tianwei, the head of the Zuo Family, was among them!

Additionally, the heads of the Wei Family, Zhang Family, and Hou Family were also kneeling there, each with a look of panic and unease on their Faces.

Everyone knew that Her Majesty the Queen's health was failing, and she would soon abdicate to enter seclusion to Cultivate.

This period of seclusion would most likely be a death seclusion, with no further chance of coming out in the future!

This also meant that the Ninth Princess, Li Xueqin, would soon become the Queen of the Heavenly Star Dynasty.

Just today, First Prince Li Zhizhou, Second Prince Li Zheling, Third Prince Li Weihao, Fifth Prince Li Xingyi, Sixth Prince Li Yunzhao, and Tenth Prince Li Shusen were all ordered to leave Yingtian Prefecture and go to their respective fiefs!

Although Fourth Princess Li Xueyi and Eighth Princess Li Muya remained in Yingtian Prefecture, they were stripped of all their power.

Like the Seventh Princess Li Muxin, they were required to stay in their own manors; for one year, they were not allowed to leave their manors, or they would be demoted to commoners!

It had to be said that Queen Zuo Chun acted very decisively, cutting through the mess like a sharp knife through hemp, helping the Ninth Princess Li Xueqin clear away all obstacles!

Furthermore, a group of ministers in the court were also dismissed; these dismissed officials were all people close to the various princes.

However, no appointments were made for these vacant positions, clearly leaving them for the Ninth Princess to decide for herself.

As a result, in just one day, the Heavenly Star Dynasty underwent a massive change!

Inside the Ninth Princess's manor, there were now two more Consecrators.

These two Consecrators were not her original ones, but two of the ten great Consecrators by the Queen's side, both with a cultivation base in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Zhao Lianpeng walked in from outside and saw Li Xueqin sitting in the study, flipping through memorials.

Although only a short half-day had passed, he felt that the Ninth Princess was already very different from before, possessing a special majesty.

"Your Highness, those few have already been kneeling outside for an hour!"

After Zhao Lianpeng finished speaking, he remained silent.

Li Xueqin didn't even lift her head; she finished reading the memorial in her hand, wrote down her comments, and only then looked up.

"Tell them, each Family should prepare twenty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and this Palace will turn the page for them."

"At the same time, have each of their families voluntarily give up a position within the Six Ministries!"

Li Xueqin spoke indifferently, then lowered her head again to look at another memorial!

Zhao Lianpeng quickly cupped his hands in a salute and then withdrew!

A moment later, Zhao Lianpeng returned with four Storage Rings in his hand, respectfully presenting them to Li Xueqin!

A figure appeared out of thin air beside Li Xueqin and took the Storage Rings from Zhao Lianpeng's hand.

Li Xueqin looked up again, took out a Storage Ring, and with a flick of her finger, sent the Storage Ring to Zhao Lianpeng.

"Send this to Ji Wuchang and say it's an apology from the four great families; he will understand my meaning!"

After Li Xueqin finished speaking, she sighed.

She knew that Ji Wuchang was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance; if she didn't step in, many more people from the four great families would likely die later on.

She was also helpless, as she temporarily needed the support of these four great families to better control the court.

At this moment, Li Xueqin's mindset had changed; she had completely transformed from a princess into a queen!

She was already thinking about how to stabilize the court while simultaneously unfolding her own plans to completely take control of the court.

The place where Ji Wuchang lived was naturally not bad; in fact, it was very prosperous.

This was the residence Queen Zuo Chun had arranged for Zhou Haotian, the place with the densest spiritual energy in Yingtian Prefecture!

Jiang Qiye and Rongcheng Yiyun were both very curious about the Hundred Cities Great War and the Thousand Cities Great War; after arriving here, they insisted that Ji Wuchang tell them about it.

Left with no choice, Ji Wuchang could only give a brief account.

Even though it was just a brief account, it still took nearly an hour, leaving Ji Wuchang's mouth dry!

Just then, Zhao Lianpeng arrived.

"Young Master Ji, this is what Her Highness asked me to give to you; she said it's an apology from the four great families!"

Zhao Lianpeng walked up to Ji Wuchang and respectfully presented the Storage Ring.

On the Storage Ring, there was a simple Seal, personally placed by Li Xueqin.

Ji Wuchang was slightly taken aback; he took the Storage Ring and easily broke through the Seal.

There were a total of three items in the Storage Ring; the first was what Ji Wuchang cared about most—it was actually a Heavenly Pole Lingzhi!

It was also Ji Wuchang's first time seeing a Heavenly Pole Lingzhi; he found it to be about the size of two palms, pitch black like ink, but with a special fragrance.

On the Heavenly Pole Lingzhi, there were various natural runes that were arranged like a battle formation, following a special pattern.

Looking at the Heavenly Pole Lingzhi, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; he was one step closer to resurrecting Ji Yaoyao!

Because Zhao Lianpeng was still there, he suppressed the urge to tell Ji Yaoyao the good news and looked at the second item!

The second item was a pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stones; his Divine Soul swept over them, and there were a total of twenty-five million.

Ji Wuchang remembered that he had originally given Li Xueqin thirteen million; she had not only returned them but also given an extra twelve million.

His Divine Soul then turned to the third item, which was a Jade Slip.

With a thought from Ji Wuchang, the Jade Slip automatically flew out of the Storage Ring.

His Divine Soul surged, and the contents of the Jade Slip immediately appeared before him.

"Young Master Ji, thank you for your help during the Thousand Cities Great War; I, Li Xueqin, will forever remember this kindness!"

"I have already severely punished the Zuo, Wei, Zhang, and Hou families; I hope Young Master Ji will give me Face and stop pursuing this matter!"

"I am about to take over the Heavenly Star Dynasty and need them to help me stabilize the court; here, Xueqin thanks Young Master Ji again!"

"At the same time, I give you a piece of news: in Changhe Province, there is news of the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus!"

"This news was told to me by a close friend, so it is definitely not false!"

"Xueqin knows this item is extremely important to the Young Master, but my ability is limited and I cannot help you get it; I can only inform you of the news!"

"Finally, I wish the Young Master in advance to get what he desires in the Dynasty's Secret Realm and subdue the Heavenly Flame, Thousand Star Flame!"

This was all the content in the Jade Slip; after Ji Wuchang finished reading, he let out a long breath of turbid air.

This Li Xueqin had actually guessed that he was going to take revenge on the Zuo, Wei, Zhang, and Hou families; now it seemed he wouldn't be able to make a move.

Ji Wuchang had originally planned to act after coming out of the Secret Realm, so he could leave the Heavenly Star Dynasty directly afterward.

Now that the other party had put it this way, not only providing generous compensation but also informing him of the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus news, this matter could only end here!

Ji Wuchang looked at Zhao Lianpeng; his impression of this man was quite good.

"Consecrator Zhao, go back and tell the Ninth Princess that I've received the message!"

"As long as they don't look for trouble, I won't bother looking for theirs!"

Ji Wuchang spoke slowly, putting an end to the matter.

When Zhao Lianpeng heard this, he quickly nodded, and a smile of relief couldn't help but appear on his Face!
