Chapter 101: Her Choice

"What's going on? How did this happen?"

Yun Xiyue was shocked.

Everything happening before her eyes now made her feel very uneasy.

She wanted to shout, to loudly rebuke, to go and stop it.

Even, she wanted to run over, rush to Yang Jun's front, and protect him.

But she discovered that she simply had no strength to move.

At this moment, her strength seemed to be sealed; she could not even stand up, let alone speak.

Yun Xiyue was shocked; she couldn't move, but from the corner of her eye she could still see Father Emperor beside her.

Why? Why is this happening?

In Yun Xiyue's heart, she was shouting loudly, constantly roaring.

"Don't get involved."

Yun Fengyun wore a stern face, treating everything before him as if he saw nothing.

When Yang Jun stepped into the ancestral temple, Yun Fengyun had already taken the opportunity to seal Yun Xiyue's acupoints.

So, Yun Xiyue now could not move at all.

Yun Xiyue lost control of herself, as Yun Fengyun reached out and brought her to his side.

Father Emperor is going to strike a deadly blow at Yang Jun!

Yun Xiyue watched the scene before her, her heart feeling as if cut by a knife.

"Hurry up and go!"

"Yang Jun, please leave quickly, I beg you, just go!"

In Yun Xiyue's heart, she kept shouting; at this moment, tears streamed down her cheeks.

At such a moment, she even hoped she would die right then.

Perhaps, she is not Yang Jun's woman.

If at the beginning she could not have heard Yang Jun's voice, then nothing here would have happened.

She even wished that everything here would change.

No longer would she hear Yang Jun's heart; instead, Yang Jun could hear her voice.

That way, Yang Jun could quickly leave.

Would all this not end in tragedy?

The Empress came over, carefully supporting Yun Xiyue, and slowly walked out from the side of the ancestral temple.

Yun Xiyue's gaze drifted among the incense smoke, tears streaming down her face.

Fifth Brother was right; the incense of the Yun family's royal clan is overly flourishing, always making people tear up and unable to adapt.

Zhou Tian was eager to try at this moment.

He had already made preparations.

He was about to, in public, cut down Yang Jun right here.

Without Yang Jun, he could then marry Yun Xiyue.

Then, he would be able to rise rapidly, achieving success in a single leap.

No matter what, today Yang Jun will surely die.

"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to permit a fair duel between me and Yang Heir; the victor shall be worthy to marry the Sixth Princess!"

Zhou Tian's aura surged as he stepped forward and bowed to Yun Fengyun.

The officials looked up to the emperor on high; now everything was up to him to decide.

But isn't everything here under his control?

"To become Prince Consort, one must naturally possess great strength."

"Defeat all competitors; otherwise, how could one be worthy to marry one's own daughter?"

Yun Fengyun's eyes were dim, his words carrying a strange low murmur.

At this moment, he was cold yet noble.

His eyes flashed like lightning as he looked toward Yang Jun.

"Yang Jun, do you dare to fight Zhou Tian?"

At this moment, the royal nobles and the civil and military officials of Great Xia heard these sounds clearly, attentively.

Everyone also understood that this matter represented the most complete possibility.

In fact, when Zhou Tian stepped forward to mock Yang Jun, they were already greatly shocked.

But now, some things need not be overthought to be fully understood.

No matter what, regardless, many problems still followed, changing into another form.

Moreover, precisely because of this, all changes and possibilities between these events become more distinct.

The emperor is about to take action!

Killing with a borrowed knife!

The Pingxi Prince's Mansion has long since declined.

Nowadays, everything between them is utterly meaningless.

No matter how those events turn out, the Pingxi Prince's Mansion probably no longer has any reason to exist.

The officials all lowered their heads, their hearts like clear mirrors.

Each no longer spoke further; especially in this situation, many things among those problems still caused deep surprise.

No matter what, it is all meaningless here.

As for the present matter, no matter who is responsible, and no matter what anyone wants.

In short, Yang Jun has already been put over the fire to roast.

If he were to retreat or yield, then the outcome can be easily imagined.

Even if he does not die, in the future he will have nowhere to hide and no place to stand.

Zhou Tian also sees this clearly; in short, he has the emperor's support, yet he can still launch a strong offensive.

Moreover, from Zhou Tian's perspective, each of these points is advantageous to him.

Either Yang Jun accepts the challenge and dies under his own sword.

Or he refuses to fight, and from then on he will have no place to stand; these things are simply that.

Everyone also holds the same view.

With Zhou Tian's strength, what can Yang Jun do?

Furthermore, the most important point is that Yun Fengyun has already leaned toward Zhou Tian.

This battle hasn't even been fought yet, and it's already tilted.

As for how those events will turn out, in everyone's minds it seems a conclusion has already been reached.

Without Prince Pingxi, Yang Jun now is like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of anyone's slaughter.

In that case, how the final outcome will be is something everyone can understand.

Yang Jun's outcome will either be losing face or losing his life.

"Yang Yizi, why not retreat a step?"

"Yes, life is important; everything else is like floating clouds."

"Your Highness, you really should listen to advice."

An old official stepped forward and advised Yang Jun.

They, to varying degrees, have received favors from Prince Pingxi.

Of course, among them, there are also many who are followers of Yun Fengyue.

Everyone is closely watching Yang Jun.

Faced with this most critical moment, we look at how to deal with such matters.

In everyone's hearts, there are also their own considerations.

Yang Jun did not respond.

At this point, he naturally understands that any choice appears disadvantageous to himself.

However, his trump card, his backing, has not yet been fully revealed.

So he waits, waiting for the arrival of his backing.

Everyone thinks he's foolish, either waiting to see him die or waiting to see him become a laughingstock.

But some things cannot simply be left to others' wishes.

Just then, while everyone was waiting for Yang Jun's response, suddenly a slight tremor came from the ground.
