Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 245 Sikong Cheng's Change of Attitude

As dawn broke, the sounds from Weiyang Palace gradually subsided.

At this moment, Tang Yi's exquisite jade-like cheeks were covered with a bewitching blush. When the curtains inside Weiyang Palace were suddenly blown by a gust of wind, Tang Yi finally came to her senses.

She felt as if she were in a dream.

At this moment, Wu Wanrong's cold voice rang out in Weiyang Palace, "You've watched all night, haven't you had enough?"

"Still not leaving?"

Upon hearing Wu Wanrong's words, Tang Yi left the palace without any hesitation.

Back at her inn, Tang Yi was still somewhat dazed. She had initially thought that the Prince of Xiaoyao only acted that way in front of Su Wanyun, but she hadn't expected him to be the same way with Wu Wanrong...

Is this the power of an immortal?

The thought of sparks flying as the giant sword entered the furnace for tempering sent shivers down Tang Yi's spine.

After Tang Yi left, Wu Wanrong stared absently at her soft couch. When she realized that Lu Ming had been facing away from the side hall last night, she immediately understood.

Wu Wanrong snorted coldly.

That bastard must have sensed someone in the side hall last night, and deliberately chose this angle so that the scene of his crime could be clearly seen.

Wu Wanrong didn't think much of it. Let her see it; maybe if Tang Yi saw all this, she could even drag Tang Yi down with her.

Although she is the Heavenly Maiden of the Nine Heavens Academy, she does not feel that she is very important in the Nine Heavens Academy. Now her ambition is no longer limited to becoming the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She now wants to control the entire Nine Heavens Academy and make it work for her.

Tang Yi holds a high position in the Nine Heavens Academy. If Lu Ming can control Tang Yi and make her one of his own, then he can keep anything that happens in the capital a secret from the Nine Heavens Academy, and he will also have Tang Yi as an extra helper.

With Tang Yi as an assistant, it would be much easier for her to take control of the Nine Heavens Academy.

Of course, that's all for later. Right now, the most important thing is to help Lu Ming complete the wedding. Although she doesn't want Mu Yunyan to marry into the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, it's Lu Ming's request, and she has no choice but to comply.

After Wu Wanrong finished bathing, she went to the Golden Palace.

After attending court, Wu Wanrong directly revealed that Prince Xiaoyao wanted to marry Mu Yunyan.

Upon hearing from Wu Wanrong that the Prince of Xiaoyao was going to marry Mu Yunyan, the entire court was abuzz with discussion.

In the eyes of the ministers, Prince Xiaoyao was nothing but a good-for-nothing and not worthy of Mu Yunyan. Moreover, Mu Yunyan had a high reputation in the Zhenling Guard, and her father was the Zhenling Envoy of the Zhenling Guard. If Prince Xiaoyao married Mu Yunyan, wouldn't that be the same as letting Prince Xiaoyao's mansion control the Zhenling Guard?

Of course, the Star Gazing Tower was originally created by the old Prince Xiaoyao. If Prince Xiaoyao really controlled the Spirit Guard, then the Spirit Guard would simply be back in Prince Xiaoyao's hands.

However, this was clearly not something the ministers wanted to see, especially those ministers from powerful families who already had a grudge against Lu Xiaoyao.

Soon, Wang Zhe stepped forward and said, "This old minister opposes this marriage!"

"Mu Yunyan holds a pivotal position in the Zhenling Guard and is being groomed by the Director of the Imperial Workshop as the next Zhenling Envoy. If she marries the Prince of Xiaoyao, the Zhenling Guard will lose a core figure in the fight against demons."

When Tian Shu was the first to stand up and oppose the marriage, other ministers in the court also stood up to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, I also oppose this marriage. The age difference between Prince Xiaoyao and Mu Yunyan is too great. If Prince Xiaoyao is to marry a princess, he should choose a woman of similar age." "Your Majesty, I implore you to reconsider. For the sake of the Great Zhou, Mu Yunyan cannot marry Prince Xiaoyao!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

For a time, more than half of the ministers in the court stood up to oppose this, especially the ministers of the First Prince's faction. They originally wanted to control the Zhenling Guard, but now the Prince of Xiaoyao has emerged.

If the Prince of Xiaoyao were to marry Mu Yunyan, then the Zhenling Guard would have nothing to do with the First Prince.

Wu Wanrong's gaze fell on the other three Tian Shu who had not yet spoken. Seeing Wu Wanrong looking at them, Lu Yongwang stepped forward and said, "This old minister also opposes marrying Mu Yunyan to Prince Xiaoyao. Now that there are more and more evil spirits in the Great Zhou, it is precisely the time when Mu Yunyan is needed. If she marries and stays in Prince Xiaoyao's mansion to be a wife and mother, it will be a huge loss for Zhenling Guard."

Upon hearing Lu Yongwang's words, Wu Wanrong asked directly, "So you're saying that after Mu Yunyan marries into the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, she can no longer continue to slay demons and monsters?"

This……

The ministers were speechless for a moment. After all, the Prince of Xiaoyao was the offspring of an immortal. How could his queen still show her face in public and do such dangerous things as slaying demons after marriage?

Therefore, it is obvious that Mu Yunyan will definitely leave Zhenling Guard after marrying into the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.
The ministers were puzzled as to why the Empress would ask such a question at this time.

At this moment, Cui Cheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if the Director of the Star Gazing Tower knows about this matter? If he does, he will probably oppose Mu Yunyan's marriage into the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion, right?"

Since the passing of the old Prince Xiaoyao, the Star Gazing Tower has severed ties with the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion. Sikong Cheng would certainly not agree to marry Mu Yunyan, who has such a high reputation in the Zhenling Guard, into the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.

Upon hearing Cui Cheng's words, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. How could they have forgotten about the Director of the Star Gazing Tower? He was the one with absolute authority over the Zhenling Guard.

As long as he opposes it, the Prince of Xiaoyao will not be able to marry Mu Yunyan, and he will inevitably oppose it as well.

Just then, a maid suddenly entered the Golden Palace from a side hall and went directly to Wu Wanrong's side, whispering something in her ear.

Upon hearing the maid's words, Wu Wanrong showed a hint of surprise on her face.

Then Wu Wanrong said directly, "Last night, Mu Yongfeng and Mu Yunyan resigned from all their positions in the Zhenling Guard. The Director of the Imperial Workshop sent someone to tell us that Mu Yunyan has indeed reached the time to get married, and the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion is a good place for her."

Upon hearing this, the ministers in the hall were stunned. How could Sikong Cheng agree to let Mu Yunyan marry into the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion?

Wasn't he always trying to avoid suspicion, afraid that others would think that the Star Gazing Tower and the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion were still related?

However, the ministers quickly realized that Mu Yongfeng and Mu Yunyan had both resigned from their posts in the Zhenling Guard, which meant that from now on the Mu family and the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion had no connection. This was clearly Sikong Cheng's attitude.

Wang Zhe then said, "Since this is the opinion of the Director of the Imperial Workshops, then this old minister has nothing to say."

Sikong Cheng has the final say on everything concerning the Zhenling Guard. Even though he is Tian Shu, he cannot interfere with the affairs of the Zhenling Guard. If even Sikong Cheng has spoken, and they still continue to oppose Mu Yunyan marrying Lu Ming, then they are going against Sikong Cheng.

Wang Zhe didn't want to offend Sikong Cheng.

As soon as Wang Zhe finished speaking, the other three Tian Shu also expressed their agreement to Mu Yunyan marrying into the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

And so, Lu Ming and Mu Yunyan's marriage was officially settled.
