Chapter 184: Chapter 184, A Shocking Scheme

“We would like to invite Your Highness to ascend the throne!” Fang Yuanqing said.

It was an earth-shattering statement.

Since ancient times, there had been no precedent of an Empress ascending to the throne.

“Are you guys crazy? After killing Lana, can’t Cheng’an still lead you to stabilize the Great Zhou Empire?” Princess Changning never thought that they would suddenly say this.

She had never thought of such a thing.

This was even more difficult than killing Lana. Moreover, what would happen to Cheng’an?

“Eldest Princess, do you think that after killing Lana, His Majesty will become his former self? His heart is no longer on the state affairs.” In the past, Fang Yuanqing also thought that Cheng’an could turn back.

Thinking that the Emperor had been bewitched by the demoness, there must still be hope.

However, now that Lana was basically in control of the Imperial Court, but Cheng’an didn’t care about it at all. He continued to hang around with his newly-selected concubines.

Thus, he had already seen through Cheng’an’s true nature. Cheng’an was a fatuous ruler who indulged in beauty, but it had only been stimulated.

It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

Even if he could change his mind this time, there was no guarantee that a new woman would appear one day, and Cheng’an would still fall for her.

Furthermore, the Xiongnu Tribe already knew about the weakness of the Great Zhou Emperor, so they would definitely continue to use this strategy.

“Prime Minister Fang is right. Eldest Princess has to think about the Great Zhou. His Majesty is indulging himself with women every day. I’m afraid his body is already…” Qin Yuntian did not continue.

Cheng’an spent twenty-nine days a month playing with beauties. If Lana was pregnant, they would have accepted it.

At most, he would just cripple Lana’s martial arts and have her give birth to the future Crown Prince.

However, the women of the harem did not have any news. Coupled with the fact that Cheng’an did not care about his body, it was probably very difficult to leave behind an heir.

A dynasty without an heir was very dangerous. Emperor Cheng’an’s only sibling was Princess Changning.

If an outsider were to inherit the Zhou Dynasty, it would be no different from destruction.

Most importantly, after Cheng’an’s death, everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty would want to be Emperor, but in the end, there would still be internal strife.

The only way was for Princess Changning to inherit the throne and for Cheng’an to become a free and unfettered Prince.

When Princess Changning’s child was born, it would be fine to give them surname Zhou. At that time, the throne could be naturally handed over.

It was the best of both worlds.

“This Princess can’t quite accept it now, let me rest a bit.” Princess Changning held her forehead, unable to make up her mind.

On one side was the Great Zhou Dynasty, and on the other side was his closest brother.

What if Cheng’an couldn’t accept it?

“I understand the Eldest Princess’s difficulties, but have you ever thought that the current life is what the Emperor likes? Perhaps he will be very happy to accept it.” Fang Yuanqing was an experienced man. He knew that Princess Changning did not reject them directly, which meant that there was hope.

Besides, men understood men. Cheng’an wished he could lead a drunken life every day.

“The life he likes?” Princess Changning repeated this sentence.

He Chuan’s figure appeared in front of her again.

Back then, she did not understand why her omnipotent Master was willing to cultivate in the Central Library Pavilion.

Year after year, day after day, he never thought about climbing up for power.

After being granted “nine thousand year” title, he immediately left the palace with Cai Lian and traveled to various places to see the local customs.

Perhaps this was the life He Chuan liked.

He could cultivate without restraint, go wherever he wanted to go, and not be bound.

Fang Yuanqing saw that Princess Changning’s expression kept changing and knew that he should increase the dosage. He quickly signaled to the other ministers.

“If the Eldest Princess does not agree, we will kneel for as long as needed!”

“Alright, but we’ll talk about it after we kill that wicked witch.”

For the sake of the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Princess Changning decided to accept Fang Yuanqing’s suggestion.

The ministers stood up and began to plan for the purge.

“The Eldest Princess is a saint cultivator. She should be able to capture and kill that wicked woman.” Some officials were very optimistic because as far as they knew, there were only a few saint cultivators in the entire Central Plains.

Now that they didn’t have to worry about Cheng’an, the plan could be easily implemented.

“No! It should be a fierce battle. Master once taught me a method to conceal one’s aura, so it will be difficult for opponents of the same realm to discover This Princess’s true strength, so This Princess feels that this demoness also knows the aura concealing technique!” Princess Changning was not so optimistic.

She always remembered He Chuan’s teachings and never looked down on anyone.

Cheng’an had been bewitched to the point of losing his soul. He had probably told her about her strength as a saint cultivator.

When Lana met her, she didn’t show any signs of fear.

Then, it was possible that the other party was also a saint cultivator.

“Is that demoness really that strong?” Qin Yuntian was in disbelief. As a general, he knew how terrifying a saint cultivator was.

“We have to prepare for the worst. However, Master only taught me the highest-grade martial arts. I have the advantage in the same realm. You don’t have to worry too much.” Princess Changning was confident in her martial arts, but she was afraid of accidents.

“There’s no time to waste. This subject will immediately contact the Imperial Guards to enter the palace!” Qin Yuntian hurriedly left.

…

In the Imperial Palace.

Cheng’an’s head was resting on the beautiful woman’s plump thighs, and there were three new beauties serving him.

“Ever since the establishment of the Ministry of Supervision, the crime rate has been plummeting. However, there has been a shortage of manpower recently. Your Majesty should consider expanding it. How about 5000 people?” Lana sat to the side and helped to review the memorials. Although she was asking, she had already made her decision.

“The Empress can do as she wishes, when will the next batch of beauties be sent over? I’ve already tried all the tricks of these beauties.” Cheng’an only cared about beauty and pleasure now.

He didn’t have the time to worry about political affairs.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. In a few days, I’ll send over 30 beauties. They’re all one-in-a-million beauties. I’ve already helped you train them to be very obedient.” Lana’s lips curled up into a mocking smile.

She had only added 5000 men to better control the situation in the court.

“Hahaha! Then I’ll wait for two more days.” Cheng’an said excitedly.

“Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess requests an audience!” A palace maid wearing a thin veil walked in, which couldn’t hide her beautiful scenery at all.

There weren’t even eunuchs in Cheng’an’s resting place. It was filled with all kinds of beauties, including palace maids, for him to enjoy at any time.

“Oh no, hurry up and help This Emperor get up and change clothes. You guys should also quickly change your clothes!” Cheng’an hurriedly got up. He still had a lot of respect for this sister of his.

After quickly packing up, Cheng’an sat on Lana’s seat and pretended to be handling political matters.

“Hmph! You’re good at acting.” Princess Changning went forward to pull Cheng’an’s ear.

The beauties could only lower their heads and pretend that they didn’t see anything.

“It’s impolite of the Eldest Princess to do this. His Majesty is priceless. How can you hit and scold him so easily? ” Lana was currently thinking about how to get Princess Changning out of the palace so that she could rest easy.

“Don’t give me that. It’s impolite to talk about it now. You all are playing here without even wearing clothes. Do you think This Princess doesn’t know? Cheng’an! You’ve let father and Grand Tutor Liu down! Today, you will go to mother and tell her yourself!” After Princess Changning finished speaking, she pulled Cheng’an’s wrist and walked out.

“Your acting skills are not bad!”

Lana clapped her hands, and the eight Western beauties from before suddenly appeared and surrounded Princess Changning and Cheng’an.
