Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 393 Prince
"Your Majesty, the three great empires are doomed. You should take care of your health."

If anyone else had said such a thing, the ministers might have just taken it as polite talk, but considering Ju Zi's achievements, they all stood up and tried to persuade him.

"I am aware of the priorities, but His Majesty is still recovering from his serious injuries, and such rumors are spreading among the three great empires. We cannot let this go so easily, otherwise, what will become of His Majesty's reputation, and what will become of the prestige of our Sun and Moon Empire?"

Orange looked around and said, "I wonder which talented person is willing to go to the front line and defeat the enemy?"

Just moments ago, the ministers were all indignant, but now that they heard that Ju Zi wanted to send people to the front lines, they fell silent.

It's not that they don't understand military affairs; on the contrary, those who become important ministers of the Sun Moon Empire, even if they are not good at commanding, still have some knowledge of military matters.

But that's precisely why no one dared to speak up easily.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires had been locked in a stalemate for nearly two years. If there really was such a talented person, he would probably have been sent to the front line long ago.

After much thought, perhaps only the Empress, who commanded the army at the very beginning of the great war, is worthy of consideration.

But at this moment, the orange's condition...

"boom--"

Ju Zi suddenly stood up, slammed the memorial in her hand heavily on the table, and was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed and her body involuntarily bent down.

Those who could rise to such high positions in the government were all shrewd and capable; they could easily see through Ju Zi's condition, and the study immediately descended into chaos.

"Quickly! Quickly! Summon the imperial physician!"

"boom--"

The study door was suddenly flung open, but it wasn't the imperial physician who rushed in upon hearing the noise, but Kong Deming.

He looked at Ju Zi, whose face had turned deathly pale, and frowned slightly.

The maid beside Ju Zi wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead and helped her walk out of the study.

Seeing this, Kong Deming slightly stepped aside to make way. After watching Ju Zi's figure disappear into the study, he looked around again before following her.

Inside the harem, Ju Zi's bedroom was in complete chaos, with even the normally soundproof room unable to conceal the tense sounds emanating from within.

Kong Deming stood in the courtyard, his gaze fixed on the direction of the oranges, and he did not look away for a long time.

Until a baby's cry rang out in the room.

Kong Deming took two quick steps forward and pushed open the door without thinking, but when the door opened, he suddenly froze on the spot.

"Your Majesty, you are also a member of the royal family. His Majesty and I are your juniors. At this critical juncture, it is probably inappropriate for you to intrude into the palace of a junior like me."

Inside the room, Ju Zi looked nothing like someone who had just given birth to a prince. She was sitting perfectly fine on the bed, looking up at Kong Deming with a slight frown.

Sure enough, things still took the worst possible turn.

As the only Super Douluo in the Sun Moon Empire and a Level 10 Soul Master, Kong Deming could investigate anything, and no matter how careful he was, there would inevitably be loopholes in his eyes.

But as that time drew closer, Orange couldn't think of a better way.

Kong Deming's gaze swept past Ju Zi, and his eyes narrowed slightly when it landed on her.

There lay a newborn baby.

He closed his eyes, and the whole incident was already in his mind. "It was precisely because you are considered my junior that I did not realize that you have never been pregnant in the past few months."

"Then I must thank Your Majesty Silver Moon."

Seeing Ju Zi's calm demeanor, Kong Deming frowned even more deeply. "Although His Majesty has his flaws, there is no one else in the harem besides you. Why would you conspire with outsiders to harm His Majesty?"

"Ha, doting on me alone? It's just that Xu Tianran no longer has that ability."

"What did you say?"

Ju Zi didn't explain much, and slowly stood up. "Your Majesty Silver Moon, as a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire, you should not interfere in the matter of the succession to the throne. Why do you insist on getting involved?"

"I shouldn't be involved in the succession to the throne, but if I stand idly by, do you expect me to watch an outsider like you, who has plotted against the Sun and Moon royal family, seize power?"

"I am already the Empress of the Sun and Moon Empire, so how can you call me an outsider?" Ju Zi said, turning to look at the infant on the bed. "In the future, won't this throne still belong to the Xu family?"

"It would be best if this matter could be left to its own devices, so why are you forcing it?"

Kong Deming shook his head, not wanting to continue arguing with Ju Zi. "I've already seen through your plan. Do you really think that without you, the Sun Moon Empire will be helpless against the three great empires?"

"You, a mere seventh-ring Soul Saint, will never understand the immense power that a Soul Master can wield."

"I admit that you are a top choice in terms of intelligence and strategy, and it might not be a bad thing to put you in a position of power. But unfortunately, there is one thing you are still far from lacking, and that is ability."

As Kong Deming spoke, he walked towards Ju Zi, but he didn't see any panic on Ju Zi's face. For some reason, he felt a strange unease in his heart.

"So, that's the reason."

Ju Zi suddenly spoke, causing Kong Deming to look somewhat surprised. "What do you mean?"

"As Your Majesty Silver Moon said, I lack the strength, which is why I have no choice but to collude with outsiders, just as you described."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Deming felt a sudden tightness in his heart. However, before he could make any move, his body was as if it were bound and he could not move at all.

impossible!
A familiar aura rose from behind Kong Deming, and a sense of disbelief flashed through his mind.

He was a level 95 Title Douluo, and he possessed the only level 10 Soul Tool on the entire continent. Even if the opponent was also a Super Douluo, it was impossible for him to subdue him so easily.

Moreover, he didn't have this kind of power when he fought his opponent a few months ago. How could such a big change have happened in just a few months?

"Your Majesty, Silver Moon, would you now be willing to follow my advice and let things take their natural course?"

"I am but a woman, and the throne will always belong to the Xu family. You did not stand up when Xu Tianran usurped the throne, so why must you suffer such humiliation now?"

Kong Deming glanced at Ju Zi and asked, "What if I don't agree?"

"That is because Her Majesty the Silver Moon, as a member of the royal family, coveted the throne after advancing to the tenth level of Soul Master. She concealed the news of His Majesty's death and then broke into my palace at this time, intending to eliminate any future troubles..."

Ju Zi also looked at Kong Deming, "I suppose many people have already witnessed what just happened."

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming remained silent for a long time. Ju Zi glanced at the maid beside him, who immediately understood and stepped forward.

"Her Majesty the Empress has given birth to a prince for the Sun Moon Empire, and all the imperial physicians will be rewarded—"
