Chapter 2718: Domineering Takeover

Ye Liuyun immediately realized that Liu Qianzhong seemed to be choosing a Prince Consort for Liu Yunyao.

Liu Yunyao felt a tightening in her heart and thought, "This is not good."

Liu Qianzhong didn't know Ye Liuyun existed, so the candidate he was helping to select could not be Ye Liuyun.

She hurriedly raised her voice to object: "Father King, I can decide my own marriage; no need to trouble you!"

But Liu Qianzhong misunderstood Liu Yunyao, thinking she was merely embarrassed and didn't want to discuss such matters in front of everyone.

"Ha ha, although you have now inherited the throne, this marriage is a matter that affects the stability of the dynasty."

"And you have never had a suitable candidate, so Father King will decide and has chosen one for you!"

"This man is flawless in status, talent, and reputation, and he is also from one of the two great Liu‑Lin families…"

As he said, he also gestured toward Lin Chengzhou.

Lin Chengzhou, excited, stood up, paid his respects to the crowd, and then walked toward Liu Qianzhong.

Seeing Lin Chengzhou, Liu Yunyao instantly understood Liu Qianzhong's meaning and leapt from the throne: "Father King, I already have someone I love.

My marriage does not need your concern!"

Ye Liuyun also became angry! The Divine Sense pressure of his Zhuanzai Jingjie was released, terrifying everyone in the hall.

Especially Lin Chengzhou, who was the focus of the pressure; he was instantly crushed to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth, unable to move.

Lin Chengzhou thought Liu Yunyao was deliberately targeting him.

He felt he had really messed up today.

He silently swore in his heart to avenge Liu Yunyao later.

Liu Yunyao didn't care about him; she was only trying to calm Ye Liuyun's anger, urging him to cease his fury, and she wouldn't let Liu Qianzhong cement this marriage.

Only then did Ye Liuyun restrain his pressure.

Yet that pressure made everyone realize that Liu Yunyao was angry and clearly refusing the marriage Liu Qianzhong had recommended.

Liu Qianzhong also felt humiliated; he had just ascended the throne, yet his own daughter threatened him.

Earlier, Ye Liuyun had ignored his status and gave him no special treatment, so he also felt that terrifying pressure.

Among everyone, the worst was the National Teacher, who was instantly knocked unconscious by the pressure.

He was the only one without a cultivation realm or any resistance.

In such a setting, he couldn't have guards beside him, so no one could shield him from the pressure.

The banquet hall descended into chaos; lower‑realm maidens stumbled, and the guards hurried to rescue the National Teacher and others who had fainted.

Outside the hall, the guards brandished swords and knives, tense and ready for battle.

"Yunyao, even though you've become the new ruler, do you no longer regard Father King?"

"The marriage of royal children is not something that parents should decide?"

Liu Qianzhong scolded Liu Yunyao disapprovingly.

Liu Yunyao argued logically: "This has nothing to do with the throne.

My marriage, I will decide myself; no one may interfere!"

"Nonsense!"

Liu Qianzhong retorted: "Not even Father King?"

"No!"

Liu Yunyao said firmly.

"Oh?"

Liu Qianzhong's face also darkened.

"Then since you claim to have a beloved, why not name them so I can see for myself!"

Liu Qianzhong asked back.

Liu Yunyao replied: "His strength is unmatched! My conquest of the barbarians is also thanks to him!"

Liu Qianzhong had, of course, long heard that someone was assisting Liu Yunyao and was very powerful.

But he always thought they were ferocious beasts and Martial Cultivators she had subdued, never expecting it to be a man she favored.

If it truly is such a strong figure, he must be cautious.

Unfortunately they hadn't discussed this before, and now both sides are on a tiger they can't dismount.

Liu Qianzhong had already promised the Left Prime Minister; if he doesn't persist, he will not only lose face today but also offend the Left Prime Minister, causing turmoil among high officials of the dynasty.

But if he insists now, he will clearly offend the forces behind Liu Yunyao.

At this perilous moment, the Left Prime Minister suddenly stepped forward and said, "May I ask, Queen Yunyao, is the person you favor surnamed Liu or Lin?"

His son Lin Chengzhou was publicly humiliated, which is not only an insult to his son but also to him! As Left Prime Minister, if he cannot reclaim this situation, how can he command the masses later?

He now intends to use the royal intermarriage surname restriction to block Liu Yunyao's words.

"So what if it's not?"

"The rules are made by people; here I think they should be changed!"

Liu Yunyao gave him no pleasant expression and immediately retorted.

"Hehe, the queen speaks lightly, yet you, fresh in office, already want to change the rules?"

"The two great Liu and Lin families are the foundation of the dynasty; you think you can change that on a whim?"

Lin Yao clearly intended to use the royal regulations to pressure Liu Yunyao into a palace coup.

He continued: "Even if the queen wants to change, she must first ask whether other royal members agree…"

Ye Liuyun knew the old man was formidable; if he kept speaking, he might incite all major forces of the Liu and Lin families to oppose Liu Yunyao.

Given Liu Yunyao's limited experience, she didn't know how to handle the situation and immediately sought Ye Liuyun's help.

So Ye Liuyun instantly ordered Xuanwo to act.

The Black Tortoise again released intimidating pressure, immediately rushed toward Lin Yao, and with one claw tore open his throat, causing his blood to spray on the spot!

Everyone gasped in shock, falling into chaos.

"Father!"

Lin Chengzhou immediately lunged forward to protect Lin Yao, but he himself, due to his earlier shock injury, fell again and could only crawl toward Lin Yao.

They never expected that Lin Yao's petty scheming would lead them to such a fate.

The guards outside the hall also rushed in, hoping to maintain order inside, but they could find no one to apprehend.

Ye Liuyun immediately used his superior aura to rebuke in Liu Yunyao's stead: "By order of Queen Liu Yunyao, Left Minister Lin Yao, you daring traitor, dare to defy the queen to her face, committing the crime of deceiving the sovereign—you shall be executed on the spot!"

Then he also said to Liu Qianzhong: "Grand King, the queen advises that before you make a decision, you should first consult the National Teacher."

Today's matter ends here; from now on, no one is allowed to mention it again.

Queen Liu Yunyao's enthronement ceremony is complete; effective immediately, she will wield supreme authority over the dynasty and take residence in the royal palace.

The Grand King will move to reside in the Ancestral Temple Palace.

Imperial Guard Capital Commander and Deputy Capital Commander, step forward to await the queen's orders! Anyone who dares to defy orders will be killed without pardon!

Ye Liuyun, with swift, decisive measures, eliminated the Left Minister, coerced Liu Qianzhong into consulting the National Teacher, and thoroughly weakened his royal authority.

Liu Qianzhong also realized that he had been negligent, failing to consult the National Teacher.

Now a powerful figure has appeared; if he comes again with force, today's banquet hall may well run red with blood.

And Ye Liuyun is now looking at the Imperial Guard Capital Commander.

If he cooperates, then Liu Yunyao will grasp real power in the royal palace.

If he does not cooperate, then Ye Liuyun will act, implanting a Slave Seal on him to force his cooperation.
