15: You all agree? I veto!

“Hmm? Even a royal marriage can go wrong?”

After reading the emergency rescue message in the group, Chu Mo hadn't expected that a smooth situation could still go awry.

However, the intervention of the aristocratic families within Great Wu caused this incident, leading to the accident.

This overturning of the carriage was, after all, understandable.

“Although the Great Wu Empress has a hole in her brain, and the imperial court is full of female officials, those aristocratic families are still very normal.”

Sending the Royal Relative out of the Central Plains for a royal marriage with the prairie tribes was giving the other side a legitimate reason to fight back.

A Great Wu Empress on the imperial court.

A Royal Relative with a proper Bloodline.

Given these two choices, most of the border army would surely not hold their ground, but instead follow the Royal Relative, hoping to achieve Dragon merit.

Once the Great Wu Empress was eliminated and the Royal Relative ascended as Emperor, the prairie tribes would easily assimilate the Emperor.

They would then take the position of the Emperor themselves.

Those prairie tribes, the prairie people who had not been influenced by Han etiquette, would not reason with these aristocratic families.

Their great sabers would not stop swinging because of the aristocratic families' status, and this would certainly pose a huge threat to the aristocratic families.

Therefore, the aristocratic families would definitely not allow the Khitan to rule the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo couldn't help but shake his head.

“I never thought it would be a group of aristocratic families propping up the entire Great Wu Dynasty; it’s truly ironic.”

“However, I’ll take this task.”

“Teleport!”

…

At the same time, on the other side.

Qi Kingdom, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

“What do you want to do to Your Majesty? Don’t come near me, or I’ll scream for help!”

“Your Majesty, you have already appointed me Empress, so I am merely performing my duty. Please change and rest, Your Majesty.”

“No, our wedding date hasn’t arrived yet, can’t you wait? What kind of decency is this… Ah…”

Before Qi Xuan could finish speaking, Xia Wuyan tore off his upper garment. He struggled desperately, but in front of the battle-hardened Xia Wuyan, he was like a delicate loli.

Light, soft, and easy to push over.

Soon, he was stripped down to just his pants, his upper body bare and fair.

He huddled on the bed, desperately covering his upper body with a quilt, like a frightened lamb being hunted by a big bad wolf.

[Rating 3.0 Lying-to-Win Dog Emperor: Help me help, @Rookie Cannon Fodder A, @Divorced with Half Cultivation, @Emperor and Royal Relative Number One, big shots, save me! I’m going to die!]

Qi Xuan frantically called for help in the group, hoping someone could help him preserve his chastity.

Xia Wuyan hadn't changed her appearance yet; with that terrifying face, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

If he let her succeed, little Qi Xuan would probably never be able to hold his head high again.

However, no one in the group responded to him.

But he saw an urgent task and was asked if he accepted it.

“Accept, quick!”

“Get me out of here!”

After Qi Xuan accepted the urgent task, he vanished in a flash of white light before Xia Wuyan.

Watching a living person disappear before her eyes, Xia Wuyan was completely stunned.

“Ascended… Ascended? Has Your Majesty achieved Immortal Ascension?”

…

Great Wu World.

The unconscious Li Tian Ce was brought to the Khitan Royal Court. The guard carrying him casually threw him to the ground, then knelt on one knee to report to the Qidan King.

“King, according to reports from our returning spies, ever since this boy disappeared, the entire Great Wu has fallen into chaos. And not just Great Wu; even the Turks, who were to have a royal marriage with Great Wu, have become restless and are demanding Great Wu send another Royal Relative for a royal marriage to forge ties.”

“Royal Relative?” The Qidan King stood up from his seat and laughed heartily: “I knew this boy was no ordinary person. Now I see, it is indeed so.”

The Khitan Prime Minister frowned: “No matter how incompetent the Great Wu Empress is, she wouldn’t go so far as to use a Royal Relative for a royal marriage, would she? Could this be a title deliberately arranged by the Great Wu Empress, and the so-called Royal Relative is actually a Martial King family member?”

The Qidan King waved his hand.

“No, if it were a Martial King family member, that old Turk would certainly not be so eager to have another royal marriage with Great Wu. Those good-for-nothing Martial King family members, I look down on them, and he looks down on them. In fact, no one on the entire prairie looks up to them.”

“But if this is the direct Bloodline of the former Heavenly Khan, then the implications are much greater.”

“We can use him to our advantage, raise the banner of the Li Tang Dynasty, invite the various prairie tribes to join the Li Tang faction, destroy the demon empress, restore the Li Tang Dynasty, uphold the Han Dynasty, and pacify the rebellion by the will of Heaven.”

The Qidan King grew more and more excited as he spoke, even beginning to gesticulate wildly. He could already imagine himself ruling the Central Plains.

Inside the Royal Court, the others exchanged glances.

Huh? We uphold the Han Dynasty?

Then, they reacted: Yes! We are the legitimate ones, we must go to the Central Plains to uphold the Han Dynasty.

The Khitan Prime Minister even shouted: “Quick! Imperial physicians, bring imperial physicians! Quickly treat our Khitan son-in-law! Oh, and have someone sew a yellow robe. The son-in-law is weak and cannot withstand the cold.”

“Also, quickly gather the army! And order the other tribes to take down the Khitan banners! What? Take them down and replace them with what? Of course, replace them with the great banner of Li Tang!”

The entire Khitan Royal Court became bustling. At the same time, they sent out team-up requests to other tribes on the prairie, and a mighty host began to converge on the Khitan Royal Court.

Meanwhile, the unconscious Li Tian Ce was sent to the main tent, and the Qidan King’s seven daughters, dressed in their finest, entered to serve him, ensuring they could successfully conceive a Dragon Bloodline.

Inside the main tent, Li Tian Ce still lay on the bed, unconscious. The Qidan King’s seven daughters sat by the side, showing no initiative whatsoever.

“With such thin arms and legs, he doesn’t meet my requirements at all. Whoever likes him, go ahead.” The eldest princess said with a look of disdain.

“I don’t like him either. I prefer the brave men of our prairie, like Maha Chimug. As for this effeminate fellow, I find him disgusting just looking at him.” The second princess turned her head away, looking at Li Tian Ce as if he were trash.

The other princesses also remained still, instead discussing which tribe’s men on the prairie were strong and which were charismatic.

“If you ask me, we shouldn’t have too much contact with these Central Plains people. It’s simply tainting the Bloodline of our Khitan Royal Family.”

“What can we do? Father wants us to be with this guy and bear him a son.”

“Yes, as long as he lives, we won’t be free. Our marriages will be tied to him.”

“Why don’t we just kill him? We can tell everyone that his injuries were too severe, and he died despite treatment.”

“Okay, I agree!”

“I agree too!”

Soon, the seven daughters reached a consensus: kill Li Tian Ce and declare that he died from severe injuries.

However, just as they were about to act, an discordant voice came from behind them.

“Since you all agree, then I shall exercise my veto power and reject all of your proposals!”

“Who’s there?!” The women were shocked and quickly turned around.

They saw a white-robed young man sitting on the bed, looking at them with eyes that regarded them as mere ants.

In his palm, a small flag appeared.

With just one glance, the women felt as if their souls were about to be sucked away by the small flag.

The next moment, a chilling wind swept through the tent, blowing them off balance, making it impossible for them to stand.

Outside, however, the wind was calm, as if nothing had happened.
