Chapter 606 The Will to Reform
"Haruka, you are not allowed to be rude in the palace!" The queen had to stop her out loud at this time. She looked at Mayu Haruka with some surprise, as if she wanted to understand her thoughts.
The inheritance of Queen Yama has nothing to do with blood, but the relationship between the queen and many shrine maidens is no different from that of mother and daughter, or sisters. Qianye has watched Mayu grow up since she was a child, so she naturally knows what kind of girl she is. She is brave and resolute, but her temperament is not outgoing. She has almost never made enemies with anyone. This is the first time that Qianye has encountered her impulsive behavior.
"Your Majesty, I am just stating the facts." The shrine maiden said calmly.
But it was this calm answer that pierced Qianye Oriko's heart.
In the past, she never used such a formal title.
For a moment, the queen suddenly felt that Mayu Haruka was a little unfamiliar.
The familiar girl in the past seemed to have left her far away.
"Are you... blaming me?" Qianye felt an unprecedented fatigue in his heart, "I sent you to a dangerous road where you were almost dead, and I put all the hope of saving the kingdom on you. I really owe you this."
"Your Majesty, this is too much." Yuan Jiu coughed twice, "It was not only Lord May who had the important task at that time. Everyone present had fought with Dongsheng Kingdom on the battlefield. It can only be said that the duties were different."
"What Yuan Lao said is right. Mayu Haruka did make great contributions, but this is not a reason for her to speak nonsense in the hall!"
The ministers echoed.
"Well, considering that the miko is still young, I can ignore her gaffe." Fujiwara Shinshi straightened his collar, pulled the guard back and said, "But she is no longer suitable to listen to this meeting. Your Majesty, please let her go down and rest first."
Chiba Oriko's eyes stayed on Mayu Haruka.
But Mayu was unmoved.
"I said - I will convince everyone to take back their ideas."
A few suppressed chuckles were heard in the hall.
"Lord May, do you realize that this treaty was built on deception from the beginning?" The man called Lord Qi opened his folding fan and blocked his mouth, saying, "Jinxia City is just a city in the southeast of Qi State. It can neither represent Daqi nor the court. And the Yama Kingdom has an equal status with the mainland kingdom in history. How could it sign a tribute treaty with a city? Isn't this a joke?"
Someone quickly took over, "It would be fine if Princess Ning could become the next monarch, but the news I heard is that she did not get the right of inheritance. The king of Qi State is now Ning Weiyuan."
"To be honest, I was a little skeptical from the beginning." Fujiwara Masamu suddenly showed a playful expression, "Lord May has been in Qi State for so long, it is impossible that he does not know the situation there. Knowing that the treaty is unfair, but ignoring the interests of the Yama Kingdom, he still wants to promote its implementation... The reason is really confusing. As the saying goes, what else can make people lose their minds besides money?"
This time, many more people laughed.
No one took the initiative to give an answer.
But every participant knew the answer clearly.
"Master Fujiwara, this is the Council Hall." Master Qi deliberately reminded.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm rude." Fujiwara waved his hand, "But this is understandable - after all, no matter how resolute Master Mayu is, she is just an innocent girl."
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere on the scene became a little strange. Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on Mayu's arms, neck and ankles.
It is true that the shrine maiden is a candidate for the queen, but there is only one who can become the queen in the end.
And most of the shrine maidens who failed in the election will marry into wealthy families and become the wives of others.
The shrine maiden itself is not a kind of existence isolated from the secular world and away from the fireworks of the world.
Mayu Haruka walked to Fujiwara without hesitation and raised her hand to slap him -
"Pah!"
This slap made the other party's face stick to the tatami, and blood foam mixed with saliva shot out from the corner of his mouth, and Fujiwara's smile froze at the moment of being slapped.
"Asshole!"
"How dare you!"
The two shadow guards were furious. They drew their swords and slashed at Mayu Yao's hands and feet on the spot. The other party was not aiming at the vital parts, but was also afraid of the identity of the shrine maiden.
But someone was one step faster than them!
Nagi Qing and Nagi Hong kicked the two guards away from the left and right. Two black shadows crashed directly into the wall of the hall, smashing a hole in the wooden partition.
The ministers were in an uproar!
"What are you doing, Mayu Yao? This is the council hall, how dare you make trouble here!?"
"Guards, where are the guards?"
"Catch this shrine maiden for me!"
However, the guards who were supposed to be guarding outside the door did not appear.
On the contrary, everyone present heard a series of dull trampling sounds, as if some kind of giant beast was approaching this place.
When the door was smashed down, they saw a mechanical creature standing on two feet, holding a strong shield on one arm and a multi-barreled iron gun on the other hand.
At the same time, more noisy sounds came into the ears of the participants -
There were shouts, screams, and the unique bite of the machine.
Only then did they realize that there was chaos outside the Ixie Mansion!
"Get out!"
Mr. Qi could no longer take care of Her Majesty the Queen and ordered his personal guards to rush out of the gate. But before a group of people could get close to the machine beast, they were knocked down by a barrage of bullets. They also tried to use the guns and weapons supported by Jinxia to fight back, but the air rifle, which was effective against the Dongsheng Kingdom army, turned into a fire stick with no power in front of the machine beast with an iron shell, and the machine beast carried The multi-barreled air rifle is far superior to the weapons they have in terms of rate of fire and power.
The ministers scurried away for a moment to prevent themselves from being killed by the gun.
Only May Yao stood motionless in the center of the lobby.
The machine monster has no intention of attacking the shrine maiden. Its muzzle is always pointed at everyone except May and the green-faced ghost.
"You, you, you -" Yuan Jiudi, who was lying under the table, pointed at Wuyue Yao in shock and stuttered for a long time before he could finish his sentence, "You are actually in the same group! Wuyue Yao, are you crazy?" This is rebellion! Do you want to be the second Anjia?"
Chiba Zhizi also murmured in disbelief, "Why did you do this? Yao...could it be that the Jinxia people bewitched you?"
"I have not been deceived by anyone. This is all my own decision." May turned around and said to Queen Evil Horse, "It is precisely because I have seen the world beyond the sea that I understand which path is evil." The Ma Kingdom should go the right way. Moreover, Her Royal Highness and Lord Xia have been kind to me, and I don’t want to let them down.”
"Disappointed? Are you kidding!" Mr. Fang shouted angrily, "National affairs are not child's play, how can you rely on your own preferences-"
He shut his mouth abruptly mid-sentence.
He saw Xue Qing put a finger on his forehead.
Everyone knows that if the green-faced ghost has murderous intentions, this finger is enough to pierce their head.
"It seems that Mr. Qi has changed his original mind." Wuyue Yao smiled, "What about the others?" She looked around and her eyes fell on Yuan Jiudi, "How about we start with you... Mr. Source.”
As she had declared before, she would convince everyone present.
——With the power she controls.
