Chapter 1107 Murong Yan Descends Upon the World
Murong Yan snorted coldly: "Do you think we would really believe your clumsy rumors? Do you think we would let you stir up trouble in Jiangnan?"
She paused, her gaze sweeping over Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian, her tone filled with contempt: "You think you're the hunters, but little do you know, you are the prey in our eyes!"
Kong Zhiqian's face grew even uglier. He knew he had lost completely.
"Lin Zhen! Murong Yan! Don't be so smug!" Kong Zhiqian said through gritted teeth, "Even if you capture us, so what? The people of Jiangnan have already been bewitched by us, and they will not let you go!"
"Is that so?" Lin Zhen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Then we'll wait and see."
He paused, his tone turning cold: "Men! Seize them!"
At Lin Zhen's command, dozens of "Night Owl" assassins rushed out from the shadows and surrounded Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian.
Although Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian fought back desperately, they were no match for the "Night Owl" assassins. They were quickly subdued and tied up.
"Lin Zhen! Murong Yan! You will all die a horrible death!" Li Xian roared in despair.
Murong Yan looked at him coldly, her tone full of disdain: "Li Xian, do you think you can incite the people and regain the throne by using the name of the former crown prince? You are too naive!"
She paused, her gaze sweeping over Kong Zhiqian, a hint of disgust in her voice: "As for you, Kong Zhiqian. You treacherous and vicious villain, do you think your schemes and tricks can escape my eyes? You're too clever for your own good!"
Kong Zhiqian's face turned ashen; he knew he had lost completely.
"Take them away!" Lin Zhen ordered coldly.
"Yes!" The Night Owl assassins escorted Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian away quickly.
Only Lin Zhen and Murong Yan remained in the room.
Murong Yan leaned against Lin Zhen's chest and asked softly, "Husband, are you really confident that you can quell the unrest among the people of Jiangnan?"
“Of course.” Lin Zhen gently stroked her long hair and said softly, “We have already captured Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian, which is the best evidence. I will let the people know that their so-called ‘former crown prince’ and ‘descendant of the saint’ are nothing but two clowns who are not worth fearing at all.”
"Moreover..." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Zhen's eyes, "I will also let the people know that the one who can truly bring them a good life is their Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, and their Great Qian Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Murong Yan's eyes. She knew that Lin Zhen would definitely succeed.
“So… what should we do now?” she asked softly.
"Just wait and see." Lin Zhen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Wait and see a good show."
He paused, a hint of coldness in his voice: "They want to give us a big gift at our wedding. Well, we'll give them a 'return gift' they'll never forget!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yan's heart was filled with anticipation. She knew that a good show was about to begin.
She nestled in Lin Zhen's arms, feeling the warmth and security emanating from him. She knew that as long as he was there, she could face any hardship with composure.
Outside the window, night deepened. Inside Qifeng Pavilion, the flickering candlelight cast long, intertwined shadows of the two figures, creating a scene of unparalleled warmth.
......
The city gates of Suzhou were wide open, and the city was bustling with noise.
The people gathered at the city gate, watching everything with curiosity. They had heard that the Emperor and Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty had come to Suzhou to personally deal with the rebellion of the former Crown Prince Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian.
However, when they saw Murong Yan standing at the city gate, everyone was stunned.
Murong Yan wore the black and gold "Divine Phoenix Descending to Earth Dress," covered by the most solemn black and gold shawl.
The flowing, dark gold Suzhou brocade train of her skirt trailed down from behind her, covering the entire square in front of the city gate.
Bathed in sunlight, the golden phoenix on the skirt radiates a restrained yet gentle glow, appearing incredibly majestic.
Lin Zhen was dressed in a silver prince's ceremonial robe, embroidered with a unicorn totem in gold thread, which made him look majestic and extraordinary.
He stood beside Murong Yan, his gaze sweeping over the people present, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Long live the Great Qian! Long live Your Majesty!" When the emperor and empress arrived, the people knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
Murong Yan raised her hand, gesturing for the people to rise. She walked to the high platform, her gaze sweeping over the assembled people, and declared in a loud and firm voice: "Fellow citizens, I am Murong Yan, the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Her voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the entire city of Suzhou.
All the people quieted down and focused their attention on her.
"I know that many rumors have been circulating in the city these past few days, saying that I am seriously ill, that the court is in chaos, and that the former crown prince Li Xian is going to reclaim the throne!"
Murong Yan's voice carried a hint of anger.
"These are all rumors! They are all rumors spread by Kong Zhiqian and Li Xian in order to mislead people and overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty!"
She paused, her tone filled with authority:
"I have come to Suzhou in person today to tell you that I am well! The Great Qian Dynasty is well! The Great Qian Empire is well!"
With a wave of her hand, she signaled the guards beside her to escort Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian onto the high platform.
When the people saw Li Xian and Kong Zhiqian bound hand and foot, everyone was stunned.
"This...isn't this Li Xian, the former crown prince?!"
"Kong Zhiqian! That bewitching Taoist priest!"
The people were talking about it, their eyes filled with shock and anger.
Murong Yan looked at the people below the stage, her voice loud and firm: "Fellow countrymen, look carefully! This is the 'former crown prince' Li Xian you speak of, and this is the 'descendant of the sage' Kong Zhiqian you speak of! They are spreading rumors and inciting people under the banner of restoring the country, attempting to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty and plunge you into war once again!"
She paused, her voice filled with grief and indignation:
"Think about it, if they really succeed in restoring their country, what will you get? Only war, death, and displacement! You will lose your homes, your loved ones, and everything you have now!"
"And I, as the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, have come to Jiangnan to appease the people, to quell the chaos, and to bring you peace and hope!"
"I want all the people of the world to see with their own eyes who is the monarch who truly cares about them! Who is the emperor who can truly bring them a good life!"
Murong Yan's words were resounding and thought-provoking!
