94: Chapter 94 The Conspiracy of the Great Wu Dynasty!

"Alright, Prince Zhou, this matter has been resolved. Can you accompany me into the palace?"

After handling the matter and watching Yang Tian leave with Mu Chen, General Longhuang asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, General Long!" Zhou Yuxuan nodded and agreed.

Immediately after, he left the green wood cloud boat behind and headed towards the Great Shang Imperial Palace with General Longhuang.

...

Great Shang Imperial Palace,

At this moment, with the arrival of several Elders from the Great Wu Dynasty, the entire vast palace was incomparably silent.

"Your Majesty, General Long and Prince Zhou have arrived!"

Empress Donghuang Baiqing, who was resting against the dragon throne, heard this and slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the people from the Great Wu Dynasty kneeling on the ground below, not daring to look directly at her, yet seething with rage at the mention of Prince Zhou, she gave a cold smile in her heart.

"Summon them!" Empress Donghuang Baiqing said indifferently.

Immediately after, as the eunuch at the palace entrance shouted in a shrill voice, General Longhuang and Zhou Yuxuan entered the palace together.

The moment those Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty saw Zhou Yuxuan enter, they, who previously dared not make a sound, instantly began to wail and complain about their miserable state.

"Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for us! Our Great Wu Dynasty has served the Great Shang Dynasty diligently, offering tribute faithfully every year. Yet this Young Master of the Zhou Family killed our Old Ancestor who was out a few days ago, causing our Great Wu Dynasty's overall strength to decline. Such behavior, showing contempt for imperial law, is disrespectful to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, although our Great Wu Dynasty has not achieved great merits for the Great Shang Dynasty, we have worked hard. All these years, our Great Wu Dynasty has kept to itself, maintaining peace for the Great Shang Dynasty. Now that our Old Ancestor has died, some rebels have seized the opportunity to cause chaos, turning a peaceful land into a mess. All of this is the doing of that Young Master of the Zhou Family. Please, Your Majesty, punish him severely and strictly deal with Zhou Yuxuan!"

"..."

As one Elder of the Great Wu Dynasty after another knelt and pleaded, some officials who already had grievances with the Zhou Family also stood on the side of the Great Wu Dynasty, requesting Empress Donghuang Baiqing to severely punish Zhou Yuxuan.

However, compared to the officials in the entire palace, those who stood out were only a small minority.

Most of the officials kept their heads lowered, as if they hadn't heard anything, as if those Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty had never come.

After all, those with higher official ranks already knew early on that Her Majesty the Empress had betrothed the Eldest Princess to this Young Master of the Zhou Family.

Now, barring any accidents, the Zhou Family was already part of the same Family as the Great Shang Dynasty. How could Her Majesty the Empress severely punish this Young Master of the Zhou Family?

"My dear officials from the Great Wu, I deeply regret the loss of several Old Ancestors from your Great Wu Dynasty, but one cannot listen to only your side of the story in all matters."

Empress Donghuang Baiqing shook her head, then looked at Zhou Yuxuan and said: "Prince Zhou, does the loss of the two Old Ancestors of the Great Wu Dynasty have anything to do with you?"

Zhou Yuxuan made no attempt to conceal it and nodded directly, admitting: "Your Majesty, the fall of the three Old Ancestors of the Great Wu Dynasty was indeed my doing!"

"However, there is a reason for this."

"What is the reason?" Empress Donghuang Baiqing asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan slowly stood up, then walked in front of the kneeling Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty, looking down at them condescendingly.

"The Old Ancestors of the Great Wu Dynasty wanted to kill me. I only managed to kill these Old Ancestors by relying on my Family's treasures, barely escaping with my life."

"However, your three Old Ancestors plotted to ambush me for no reason. I haven't even gone to settle the score with you yet, and you have already come to Her Majesty to complain about me. This seems unreasonable, doesn't it?"

Zhou Yuxuan said every word clearly, and a terrifying murderous intent emanated from his body, turning the faces of these Great Wu Dynasty Elders pale.

"Wait, Your Majesty, it's not like that, it's not like that!"

"This brat is twisting the truth! Your Majesty, you must not believe his words!"

"..."

The several Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty repeatedly tried to voice their grievances, but unfortunately, before they could say much, Empress Donghuang Baiqing waved her hand and said: "Enough!"

"This matter was originally the fault of your Great Wu Dynasty. You were the ones who attacked first, plotting to ambush Prince Zhou, but you were outmatched and killed in return. You deserve it!"

Although Empress Donghuang Baiqing already knew that the matter was not that simple, she still needed the power of the Zhou Family to do some things for her at the moment, so she chose to favor Zhou Yuxuan this time.

However, what surprised her very much was that Zhou Yuxuan, who appeared to be only in the Immortal Realm, was actually able to kill three God King Realm Old Ancestors of the Great Wu Dynasty. This was not simple. Could it be that the Zhou Family possessed some supreme treasure she didn't know about?

Countless speculations flashed through Empress Donghuang Baiqing's mind at this moment.

At this moment, as Empress Donghuang Baiqing spoke, the several Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty lowered their heads. They knew that the matter was irreversible and that it would be very difficult to get the Zhou Family severely punished.

However, the intense anger that flashed in their eyes after they lowered their heads also meant that this matter would definitely not be this simple.

"Alright, if you dear officials from the Great Wu, if you have no further important matters to report, then withdraw first. I have things to discuss with my dear official Zhou."

Upon hearing this, the several Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty respectfully bowed and then left the palace, walking outside the imperial palace.

In a restaurant outside the imperial palace, several Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty with gloomy faces sat and discussed in low voices.

"Grand Elder, are we just going to let this matter pass? The pent-up anger in my heart is hard to dispel!"

"Yes! Grand Elder, I didn't expect Her Majesty to favor that Young Master of the Zhou Family. This truly chills our hearts. When she wanted to ascend the throne, our Great Wu Dynasty contributed quite a lot!"

The words of the several Elders fell into the ears of the oldest, most ancient-looking Elder among them.

He kept a gloomy face, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph! Since Her Majesty is unwilling to uphold justice for us, then we will do it ourselves!"

"Although our Great Wu Dynasty is not as good as the Great Shang Dynasty, we are not a soft persimmon that anyone can bully. If we dare not speak up when our own Old Ancestor has died, then in the future, more people will step on our Great Wu Dynasty and defecate!"

The Grand Elder said, taking out a recording stone, which clearly showed the scene of the Great Wu Dynasty's Old Ancestor's fall.

At the very last moment of the image, one could see the figure in the image holding a pen that emitted divine light and was surrounded by Dao charm.

"This is the supreme treasure, the Primordial True Word Brush, which has been missing for who knows how many eras!"

The Elders of the Great Wu Dynasty saw this scene and spoke in surprise.

"Hehehe! The Young Master of the Zhou Family holds the Primordial True Word Brush, one of the seven supreme treasures. If this news spreads, all the influential forces in the world will target the Zhou Family."

"By then, no matter how powerful the Zhou Family is, they will be hard-pressed to fight against so many!"

"Perhaps such a supreme treasure will eventually attract the attention of Her Majesty the Empress, and then the relationship between the Zhou Family and the Imperial Family might break down. Let's see who can protect the Zhou Family then!"
