I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

"Just now, the Tianji Tower's flying boat arrived in Tushan under the pretext of presenting a gift. Although we already know that the previous Triangle Cat Rebellion was instigated by the Tianji Tower, they are unaware that they have actually been exposed. Their arrival is probably to test my attitude towards them and my physical condition under the guise of presenting a gift."

"So, Moxi, you're planning to use this as a pretext to deceive them by feigning a physical condition?"

“That’s right. In the last battle at Iris Mountain, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion did send a master of the Great Ascension Realm. I might as well pretend that I suffered an irreversible serious injury in that battle, which is why I was in a hurry to abdicate. This way, the people at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will have less to worry about me. In this way, even if I disappear into Tushan afterward, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion should only think that I went somewhere to recuperate.”

"That is one way."

Chen Yuze nodded and said, "In that case, leave the matter of falsifying your physical condition to me. With just silver needles and massage, I can temporarily seal some acupoints on your body and slightly change the flow and nature of your demonic energy. Although at first glance it won't look any different from usual, given the cautious style of Tianji Tower, I'm not afraid they won't notice these changes."

“In this way, we should be able to successfully deceive the people of Tianji Tower.” Mo Xi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she was not completely relaxed: “However, there is still one thing I still don’t understand.”

"tell me the story?"

"Young Master Chen, what do you think is the motive behind Tianji Tower's series of actions?" Moxi frowned and asked carefully.

"Even if I lose the battle at Iris Mountain, the foundation that Tushan has built up over the years will not change in the slightest. Even if Triangle Cat can enjoy a moment of glory, it will absolutely not be able to withstand Tushan's retaliation afterward."

"If the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has enemies of Tushan, they may only be trying to weaken Tushan's strength by using Triangle Cat. But why would they incite the elders of Qingqiu to rebel? Even the poison on Meiting's body may have been administered by people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."

"Looking at the series of actions taken by Tianji Tower, I can't find anything in common. The only result of these actions, which they are pushing behind the scenes, is to create some chaos."

"If even you, Moxi, can't figure it out, then of course I can't figure it out either." Although Chen Yuze really wanted to help Moxi come up with a solution, he...

Humans are really not good at thinking about these things.

Helpless, he could only pat Moxi on the back and comfort her, saying, "In short, if you can't figure it out right now, then don't think about it for the time being. Since the people from Tianji Tower are in Tushan, why not take this opportunity to see if we can get some information out of them without alerting them? At least on the surface, Tianji Tower hasn't broken ties with Tushan yet."

"That's all we can do." After letting out a heavy sigh, Moxi stood up with a bitter smile.

However, just as she was about to leave the side room...

"Moxi, let's pick a time tomorrow and go to the Lovesick Inn again!"

"Xiangsi Inn?" Meixi clearly didn't understand Chen Yuze's meaning immediately.

"That's right, seeing how worried you look, I'll have to put in some effort and personally 'clear the blockage' for you. This time, I'm determined to prove my abilities!"

319. Enthronement Ceremony

Four days later, at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM).

As a resounding bell rang, loud enough to echo throughout every corner of Tushan, the coronation ceremony of Tushan Yan Yun officially began.

It is worth mentioning that the enthronement ceremony of Tushan was not as complicated as that of secular emperors.

First of all, the new empress of Tushan does not need to worship any object.

On the day of her coronation, the new empress was required to embark on a grand procession from the capital city, following a predetermined route.

After the parade, the new empress will receive the imperial seal, representing supreme power, and the jade whip, symbolizing her status as empress, from the former empress.

Once the handover ceremony is over, the new empress will promulgate new laws and, over the next eighty-one days, open the national treasury to use spirit stones to raise the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Tushan region to a higher level, thus nourishing all things within Tushan.

After the new empress had arranged everything, the banquet could begin.

Since most cultivators choose to abstain from grains, the wine and meat served at the banquet are all extremely precious spiritual wine and meat.

Moreover, not only will guests who have come from all over the world to offer their congratulations have a seat to eat, but all the people of Tushan will also receive wine and meat.

In this respect alone, Tushan's scale is already unmatched by any other force.

It's important to understand that not every leader of a power treats their people as human beings.

In the eyes of many, ordinary people are nothing more than cannon fodder in wartime and cheap labor in peacetime.

Of course, all these trivial matters have nothing to do with Chen Yuze now.

Although he had a kind heart, he was a man destined never to become a hero.

The great man is the country and the people.

But all Chen Yuze ever thought about was how to cultivate his own little plot of land.

Don't say things like "with great power comes great responsibility"—that's pure moral blackmail.

Chen Yuze is already very selfless for providing free medical consultations and for readily helping his neighbors when they encounter difficulties.

Now, Chen Yuze just wants to participate in this lively coronation parade as an ordinary person.

clang--

As the second bell rang today, the majestic royal city of Tushan opened its gates.

Immediately afterwards, a large, imposing army of red-clad soldiers marched out, starting from the Acacia mangrove tree, with neat, powerful steps.

Behind this red-clad army was an enormous sedan chair decorated to resemble a float.

Moreover, this enormous sedan chair was propelled entirely by spirit stones, requiring no human assistance whatsoever.

The entire sedan chair was also crafted by the skilled artisans of Tushan to resemble a nine-tailed red fox.

Sitting in the sedan chair, he smiled and glanced at everyone who came to witness the ceremony.

Completely different from the girl who was so easily startled in the backyard a few days ago, Yan Yun now seemed to have quite the aura of an empress.

"Empress Yan Yun! Empress Yan Yun has arrived!"

"It's the new Empress Mom! I have a new mom!"

"Protect the best Emperor Yan Yun!"

"Ah, I really want Her Majesty Yan to stomp my face hard with her heel!"

"His Majesty must be very strong, right? If I had the chance to have a sword fight with His Majesty, my life would be worthwhile!"

"You bunch of traitors, you promised to be members of the Meixi Party for life, where have you all gone?"

Amid cheers, the parade had only just begun, but the enthusiasm of the crowd remained at its peak.

Thanks to the incredibly lively crowd, Chen Yuze's family also felt elated.

"Hey Moxi, was it this lively when you ascended the throne?"

Chen Yuze smiled and pointed to several male foxes not far away, who were shouting loudly: "Back then, weren't there many people calling you Moxi's mother?"

"No one calls me 'Mom,' but there are plenty of people who call me 'Queen.'"

As if recalling some unbearable past, Moxi said with particular helplessness, "Back then, I thought they were too noisy, so I tried to whip them a few times in the air to scare them and make them quiet down. Who knew that after I whipped them, they became even more excited."

"It seems that no matter which generation of Empress fans,

They're not easy to take care of...

With a mix of sympathy and amusement, Chen Yuze patted Moxi's hand. Watching the parade gradually leave the royal city, he couldn't help but ask, "Should we follow them?"

“No, we have to stay in the royal city. After Yan Yun returns, the handover ceremony will begin. As the former Empress of Tushan, I have to ensure her safety in the royal city and make sure the handover ceremony goes smoothly. Of course, if you want to go, you can go and watch.”

"Well, I'm too lazy by nature, so I'll stay in the capital and help you out."

Without even thinking, Chen Yuze immediately made his choice.

You see, Yan Yun's parade is going to circle the entire Tushan Mountain. It's fine for Chen Yuze to just watch the show, but if you want him to follow along the whole time, he'll definitely be unhappy.

Of course, Chen Yuze's decision not to participate in the protests does not mean that his daughters will make the same choice.

Those who enjoy lively gatherings, like Yuanbao and Baosi, had already joined the parade with Luoxin and Yourong.

Only the rest of the people chose to remain in the royal city.

"Speaking of which, Moxi, did you see any people from Tianji Tower just now?" After the procession had completely left the royal city, Chen Yuze pulled Moxi aside and asked about the situation at Tianji Tower.

"We haven't seen them yet, but according to intelligence, only two people from Tianji Tower came on this trip. In a little while, they should enter the banquet hall of the royal city along with representatives from the other sects."

"So, does that mean I can start working on faking your physical condition now?"

“Don’t rush. The procession won’t be back for at least two more hours. Until then, I have to stay in the royal palace and can’t see those two guys from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. So, let’s postpone the disguise of my physical condition.” Moxi thought for a moment, then continued to remind him:

"However, Young Master Chen, you can inform the sisters to suppress their cultivation and hide their demonic power. Especially Meiting and Baihua, they need to make some more preparations for disguise. We can't let the people from Tianji Tower recognize them."

……

Waiting time is always tedious.

Fortunately, two hours is not a particularly long time.

As the third bell rang today, Yan Yun and her procession finally returned to the royal city.

However, the procession did not return to the similar mangrove tree that served as the starting point (hx).

Instead, they stopped in front of the royal palace.

Almost the instant Yan Yun's sedan chair heard the news, the prepared honor guard stood on both sides of the palace steps and played their instruments in unison.

Stepping onto the long red carpet that had already been laid out, they were bathed in countless respectful gazes.

After leaving the dumpling shop, Yan Yun ascended the throne in the royal palace step by step.

In the royal palace, Moxi, holding the jade seal and jade whip, had been waiting for a long time.

After delivering a brief yet concise speech, Moxi formally handed the two objects, representing royal power and the empress's status, to Yan Yun.

With Yan Yun promulgating the new laws and making a promise to Tushan and its people regarding the future of Tushan, the transition between the old and new empresses was officially completed.

And what followed, of course, was the much-anticipated feast.

However, to avoid suspicion, Meixi did not travel with Chen Yuze's family, but instead arranged a banquet for them in a very secluded corner.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and eat!"

Seeing the girls sitting at the table, moving slowly, Chen Yuze couldn't help but urge them on: "These are all Yan Yun's heartfelt gifts to everyone, so don't waste them."

"But these dishes already look so unappetizing." Pouting, Bao Si had no idea where to start, even though the table was already full of all kinds of dishes.

Moreover, it wasn't just Bao Si; the other girls present also shared similar troubles to varying degrees.

Only Luo Xin was relatively active with her chopsticks. However, even so, it was still far from her usual ravenous eating habits.

"It's not bad, is it?" After taking a small bite of the chicken that was full of spiritual energy, Chen Yuze was even more puzzled.

“It’s not bad at all.” At this moment, Lu Qianya carefully picked up a small piece of fish with her chopsticks and explained, “It’s just that everyone is used to eating the food cooked by Senior Brother Yuze. So when we suddenly eat food cooked by someone else, it naturally doesn’t taste as good.”

"You guys..."

Upon learning the reason why the girls were so upset, Chen Yuze shook his head, both amused and exasperated: "I cook for you, not to make your tastes so picky. Don't be so fussy. Even if we can't finish all this food today, we have to take it home. I'll cook again myself after we've finished all this food."

"This……"

They looked at each other, bewildered. The girls clearly hadn't expected Chen Yuze to resort to such a ruthless scheme.
