293 Chapter 286: The day of coronation! (1/2)

”I am sure that you've already heard some groups of people are trying to cause trouble for you tomorrow right?” the Principal asked as he stroked his beard slowly.

Duan Li nodded, ”Yes. In fact, her Highness herself had took things into her own hands yesterday. Did she perhaps managed to catch those responsible already?”

”You've met with the Empress?” the Principal raised his brows, a bit surprised before continuing as he shook his head, ”We did managed to catch some people that poked their noses on where they didn't belong last night.. but it doesn't seem like they were the ones who were spreading those false rumors about the Empire!”

Hearing this reply, Duan Li creased his brows together as he cupped his chin in contemplation, ”Weird.. ”

Could there be people so skillful enough that they managed to escape all detection?

The Principal sighed, ”Don't think too much into it for now, just know that we have already prepared something for the worst case scenario. Furthermore, unless the Heavens are not watching over you tomorrow, I wonder which idiot would be daring enough to make an enemy out of you.”

Duan Li's face reddened in embarrassment when he heard this.

Is he complimenting me?

”Anyway, now that you know that, I need you to listen and remember carefully what you need to do tomorrow! If you dare to mess up the ceremony, I don't care what your status are out there, I will still whip the hell out of you!” the Principal said as he changed his demeanor into that of a strict teacher and clasped his hands behind his back.

”Yes!” Duan Li nodded and straightened his back, his face serious like a naive boy that was about to learn the ropes of life.

The next day, the Capital city of the Jiu Empire, Nine Lotus city was filled with people to the brim. The streets were extremely crowded to the point that it makes it quite hard to walk and navigate properly. These were citizens of the Jiu Empire that came from all directions, be it from another city, town or villages.

At this moment, some people could be seen to be wearing happy expression and laughed as they celebrated like it was a festival and decorated the streets, while others were feeling confused and some were even silently infuriated by the whole fiasco!

How could the royal family suddenly declared to them that there will be an Imperial Overseer ruling above them starting today?

Even though not all of them were educated, everybody knows what it meant to be ruled by an Imperial Overseer was!

It meant that their Emperor was nothing but a decoration, a puppet while control was actually in the hands of another!

For someone that had been living long under the rule of the Emperor, how could they tolerate to the sudden changes? Moreover, why does the royal family seemed to agree with it without a fight? Where was their honor and dignity?

These dissatisfactions were even fueled further by the false rumors flying around about the instability of the Jiu Empire. After all, the common people were now scared that civil war might erupt and the Empire would split into factions! That would essentially means that their daily life would be disturbed and the economy would fluctuate unpredictably!

As for the influential nobles and clans, strangely enough, they don't seem to be too bothered with it which caused even more confusion for the people!

”Was this already set in stone beforehand? Otherwise, how could these big families and influential people stay calm like this?” a person said as he chugged down on his drink with a frustrated tone.

”Hush! Don't let them heard you! I think that this is only the calm before the storm!” his friend replied with a whispering voice.
