Chapter 1: The Empress Ascends the Throne_2

In the beginning, it was with the backing of Monks Cang Long and Fu Hu that the other party agreed to the terms of becoming Emperor.

Now that Monks Cang Long and Fu Hu have achieved their goals, they have left him.

Clearly, Little Lingyin Temple valued Yu Qinghan, not him.

Had he, himself, been played by the people of the Immortal Sect?

"I hope that next time, something like this won't happen again."

Yu Qinghan cast a deep, warning glance at Pei Ming.

Then she turned and left.

Pei Ming watched her retreating figure, and his face couldn't help but darken.

"Your Highness, the princess's tone is so aggressive, it seems she is already unhappy with you."

A subordinate said cautiously.

"Do I need you to tell me that?"

"But there's no other way. The throne must be held by my good niece. We can only think of other ways later."

...

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, at Xiaohan.
