Chapter 908: Chapter 908: Ye Wanlan: Take Them Down [Part 2]
"..." freeweɓnovel~cѳm
The entire grand hall fell into a dead silence.
Even Oleg, who had been tirelessly lobbying Beirut King to make Ye Wanlan the Crown Prince, was at a loss for words, his jaw nearly dropping from shock.
The matter of appointing a Crown Prince proposed by the royal dignitaries was a reasonable suggestion.
But if it were proposed by the person involved, it would be a heinous act of rebellion, an uprising against authority, and a treacherous seizure of power.
The expressions of many royal dignitaries changed, including those who agreed to let Ye Wanlan become the Crown Prince.
Because they clearly felt that Ye Wanlan’s actions were a provocation to their authority.
They petitioned Beirut, which was their right.
What right did Ye Wanlan, a mere princess who hadn’t even been back in Cangyuan Country for a month, have to speak like this?
"Your Highness Wanlan!" Oleg frowned as well, "Do you know what you’re saying? The throne will eventually be yours, but you can’t speak like this."
"Does Princess Wanlan think that just because we support her ascension, she’s become so arrogant that she’s forgotten who she is?"
"Alas, truly disappointing, the princess is really not ready for the climate, she is too impatient."
Beirut King was initially stunned by Ye Wanlan’s words, just about to get angry, yet upon hearing the words of the royal court ministers, he was instantly pleased!
He had been troubled by the inclination towards Ye Wanlan in the hearts of the people, wondering how to correct it, without imagining she would dig her own grave, causing the hearts inclined towards her to sway once more.
"Insufferable!" Beirut King slammed the table heavily, "Your grandfather is still alive, what ability do you have to have your grandfather pass the throne to you?"
Over the years, although Beirut King had often used power for personal gain, he greatly valued face and worked diligently, doing much surface work, otherwise, public grievances would have long boiled over.
A minister shouted, "Princess Wanlan, aren’t you going to retreat quickly!"
"More than forty years ago, the High Priest prophesied that my father would seize your throne, grandfather, and kill you." Ye Wanlan said nonchalantly, "The High Priest’s prophecies have always been accurate, so to prevent the prophecy from happening, you struck first, what do you all think?"
The royal dignitaries were at a loss for words, their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
When was this prophecy made, why had they never heard of it?
"Utter nonsense!" Beirut King was enraged, "The High Priest has never made such a prophecy, you must be a spy sent by humans, intending to disrupt Cangyuan’s people, quickly seize her and throw her into the Sea of Stars to be dealt with by the High Priest!"
The Royal Palace Guards immediately stepped forward to surround Ye Wanlan.
"I can prove that every word Ah Lan said is true." At this moment, a cold voice sounded, "Because I did not die in childbirth, but Beirut wished for me and my son to die on the operating table."
"!!!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the voice.
Beitang Xinyi walked forward slowly, her expression cold, holding the Earth Token in her hand, repelling the Royal Palace Guards, walking step by step up to Ye Wanlan’s side.
Upon her appearance, Beirut King’s expression also darkened, "Beitang Xinyi, don’t think that just because I favored you, you can bring chaos to Cangyuan with your granddaughter!"
"Favor?" Beitang Xinyi let out a cold laugh, "Beirut, do you think I am your plaything? Need your favor to stand in Cangyuan? You’re wrong, without me, you wouldn’t even be on this throne!"
This statement marked that this once-envied couple completely tore off their masks.
"How dare you—" Beirut King’s expression turned extremely ugly, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
This was also a truth he wished to erase.
Initially, he spared no expense to court Beitang Xinyi, seeing her family’s strong power in mind.
But once he really ascended the throne, he no longer needed her.
All these years, he had been weakening the Beitang family’s power, now the Beitang family could only barely survive in the Royal City, unable to become a force to be reckoned with.
"If I hadn’t prepared in advance, sending my child away and faking death to escape, you might really have been at ease." Beitang Xinyi said in a cold voice, "This time, you won’t replicate it!"
"Since the prophecy is true, then grandfather, you will certainly be killed by my father." Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "But I won’t, I will spare your life, what do you think, grandfather?"
"Ab---surd!" Beirut gritted his molars, said word by word, "The throne will only be mine, guards, take this pair of lying grandparents down, detain them, torture them, you must find out who made them do this!"
As long as he firmly denied it, Ye Wanlan and Beitang Xinyi had no evidence to prove the events of more than forty years ago!
"Beirut, did you really think I’d hide my time, just to return empty-handed with nothing to contest you?" Beitang Xinyi was unfazed, a cold smile forming at the corner of her lips, "You forgot, the Earth Token has always been in my hand, and the Earth Token has a function."
Beirut King was stunned for a few seconds, blurting out, "Recall!"
The Emperor’s Order and Earth Token not only symbolize the royal power of Atlantis but also contain the Power of Heaven and Earth.
The Emperor’s Order contains Space Power, while the Earth Token contains the Power of Time.
The holder of the Earth Token can view past scenes, though this feature is highly restricted, only allowing scenes witnessed by oneself.
Before Beirut King could react, Beitang Xinyi had already used the Earth Token to display the events of more than forty years ago to everyone present.
Outside the door were two figures, one said, "Tell the outside that the Queen died in childbirth, and the baby suffocated during delivery, chop up his body and throw it into the woods to feed the dogs."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Beirut King stared intently at the projection in front of him, his breathing growing heavy.
The royal dignitaries were already in shock and speechless.
"You wanted to kill us, yet we somehow survived." Beitang Xinyi coughed once, "Beirut, your retribution has arrived!"
"What a joke!" Beirut King took a step back, "So what if I did it? The throne is mine, the Emperor’s Order is mine, even if you make the truth public, it is of no avail!"
Saying this, his confidence rose again.
"Xinyi, I actually sincerely like you." Beirut King sighed, "But I like power even more, so I must ask you to die."
Beitang Xinyi clenched her fists tightly, fury burning, "You..."
"How unfortunate, Beirut Flan Des." Ye Wanlan’s expression was indifferent, "The ceremony failed, now, only the army remains."
Beirut King sneered, "Do you think having connections with humans means they can come here and help you?"
"I am a cultivator, I won’t advise you to retreat and find vast waters." Ye Wanlan beckoned, uttering coldly, "Take them."
