Chapter 814: Chapter 245: Why Humiliate Me Like This!? (Subscribe Please)

Even though Empress Wang was reluctant to let Wu Ling become the Emperor of Great Zhou, after experiencing the recent turmoil, it seemed there was no one more suitable than Wu Ling to become the Empress of Great Zhou.

So,

Wu Ling had already begun to exercise the power of Great Zhou and handle the Court’s political affairs.

Only an official coronation ceremony was missing.

And by Wu Ling’s side, including Heaven Mountain Palace and Long Sword Sect, all the Sky-Men were by her side.

They had all been subdued by Cheng Guang.

All of them followed Wu Ling, obeying her commands.

This was specifically instructed by Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang had helped Wu Ling in advance, which for him, was a matter of convenience.

For Wu Ling, however, it was undoubtedly a great support.

Without these sects’ Sky-Men, Wu Ling, even though she had begun handling the Court’s political affairs, would not have had such a smooth experience as she had now.

The politics above the Court were not something that could be handled just by saying.

Even though Empress Dowager Li and others had already agreed to support Wu Ling to become the Empress of Great Zhou, the Court was not just controlled by the royal family, there were also other powerful families of Great Zhou.

They did not fully recognize Wu Ling.

At such a time,

the Sky-Men of the sects provided by Cheng Guang played their role.

You don’t agree?

Then fight until you do.

In this regard, Wu Ling demonstrated an unprecedented iron-blooded approach.

Even those who were especially familiar with Wu Ling never expected that this seemingly frail person had such a strong disposition.

She even had a bit of Wu Shang’s style.

In just a few days,

Wu Ling had taken control of the entire Great Zhou Court.

While Wu Ling was looking at the memorials in the Court, she suddenly sensed some movement outside.

Wu Ling put down the memorial, slightly lifted her eyes, and looked towards the distant sky which had changed.

Wu Ling noticed the change in the sky, at first startled, then realized that the center of the drastic change was precisely the location of Duke Zhen’s Mansion.

“Is it the Princely Heir causing this commotion?”

Wu Ling murmured softly.

“Your Majesty, should we go have a look?”

Ximen Shihua, the Palace Master of Heaven Mountain Palace, respectfully asked Wu Ling.

She had come to understand by now.

That mysterious powerhouse who had ordered her to threaten the Great Zhou Imperial Family and attack Great Tang Chang’an City was unreliable.

Ever since that one order, he had never appeared again at any other time, utterly unreliable.

She later wanted to rely on Cheng Guang, the Duke’s Heir, as his strength was also very formidable.

But unfortunately…

The Duke’s heir simply did not care for her.

He directly handed her over to Wu Ling.

If it weren’t for her status as a Sky-Man and her slight utility, Ximen Shihua even doubted whether the Duke’s heir would have killed her on the spot.

Now she could be considered someone subservient to many masters.

Ximen Shihua, unable to defeat the Duke’s heir, had no choice but to obey his commands and follow Wu Ling.

At first, including Ximen Shihua, all the Sky-Men from various sects had a vague impression of Wu Ling, the Prince of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, but not much.

Mostly, they did not care much.

But after spending a few days with Wu Ling, they mostly realized that Wu Ling, who had just begun handling court politics and was the future Empress of Great Zhou, indeed had some capabilities.

After several interactions,

Whether it was reluctantly

Or willingly,

Many, including Ximen Shihua from the sects, had grown to recognize Wu Ling more.

They no longer followed Wu Ling’s commands strictly out of coercion from Cheng Guang.

From this, it could be seen that Wu Ling did have some methods.

Wu Ling put down the memorial in her hand, followed the direction of the voice, and glanced at Ximen Shihua standing nearby.

“Do you want to go have a look?”

Wu Ling’s expression remained unchanged, her tone neutral.

It was difficult to discern from Wu Ling’s tone whether it was joy or sorrow.

In a sense, Wu Ling was already beginning to show the qualities an Emperor should possess.

Ximen Shihua awkwardly smiled, then shook her head, pursed her red lips, and shrank towards a corner where the light was dim and slightly gloomy.

She was just saying that.

She dared not tell the mysterious and unpredictable Duke’s heir.

The Duke’s heir, with just one move, had defeated all the Sky-Men from the sects.

Now, Ximen Shihua could hardly imagine what level of cultivation and strength the Duke’s heir possessed nowadays.

Everyone was Sky-Men, why was the gap between herself and him so vast?

And that Duke’s heir…

Was even many years younger than her…

All these years, had she lived in vain, as if living a dog’s life?

Thinking this, Ximen Shihua felt a bit overwhelmed.

Ximen Shihua was the Palace Master of Heaven Mountain Palace.

Her cultivation was quite high, and although she was not young, she had maintained herself well, so she did not bear the marks of time.

Just by looking at her appearance,

Ximen Shihua still seemed to be around thirty, in the prime of her charm.

It was not evident that she was nearly a septuagenarian.

Wu Ling didn’t say much else, picked up the memorial again and looked at it casually, remained silent for a while before speaking slowly:
