Chapter 484: Entering Secretly (1/2)

Since she wasn’t as good as Pei Qingfeng when it came to taking crap, she could only promise him for now. Anyway, she still had a lot of time left to decide on what to do.

Now that they settled their matters in the Ling Yun Sect, they returned to the Cloud Water Nation.

They had no idea the state of chaos the Cloud Water Nation was in...

When Pei Wuchen was placed under house arrest, Pei Rumo turned into the biggest candidate for the throne. Even though many of his subordinates had urged him to ascend the throne quickly, he refused. Instead, he found excuses to reject them as he felt that he would be no different from Pei Wuchen if he were to ascend the throne immediately.

However, many of the senior officials obviously didn’t think of it the same way he did. In their eyes, a nation couldn’t be without a ruler and they begged him to ascend as soon as possible. Pei Rumo eventually gave in under the pressure and picked a date to crown himself as the emperor.

However, Pei Rumo had planned to crown Bai Luochu as the empress when he ascended the throne. But how could anyone agree to that? Back when Bai Luochu had died, it was already absurd to bestow her a position as his consort. Now, instead of marrying the daughter of a high ranking official, he wanted to crown a dead person as his empress. The ensuing argument shook the imperial court and both sides had to take a step back.

Even though Bai Luochu’s title didn’t change, Pei Rumo had to take the Su Clan’s daughter as his concubine in order to stabilize the kingdom.

When the edict was announced, everyone felt confused. Wasn’t the daughter of the Su Clan in love with the Second Prince? Why is she getting married to the First Prince?!

However, these discussions only happened privately. After all, they didn’t wish to incur the wrath of their newly appointed emperor.

When Bai Luochu arrived back at the capital, Pei Rumo was already undergoing his coronation ceremony.

The senior officials standing under the stone steps twisted their face when they saw a servant walking forward with a plaque. Originally, they had decided to support him due to his ability to lead. However, after seeing how stubborn he was, they were having second thoughts.

“Mistress, it’s going to get exciting today. The First Prince is holding onto a plaque. He’s planning to announce the identity of the new empress!” The moment Bai Luochu arrived at the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence, Ying Lan reported the events that happened in the past few days.

However, Bai Luochu had a nagging feeling that she was related to this matter.

“This…” Ying Lan looked at the two of them awkwardly and didn’t know how he should explain this matter to them.
