Chapter 327: Coronation Ceremony

On the auspicious day of August 6, the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty the Queen was held.

If most of the court officials had accepted the fact before, and only a few still had a glimmer of hope, then after this decree was issued, the hope of these few remaining people was directly cut off.

The civil and military ministers all thought that the emperor had gone crazy.

Not to mention the king of a country, even these ministers who were trembling all day long would never take the initiative to retire and return home in their forties. Who doesn't live for fame and fortune?

After ten years of hard study and half a lifetime of hard work, who doesn't live for fame and fortune?

With great power in hand, holding the power of life and death of the whole country, he actually said he would abdicate?

If they said that the emperor was not bewitched, they would not believe it.

However, no matter how they think now, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't change the fact that the matter is done.

On the sixth day of August, the coronation ceremony was held as scheduled. No one came out to disrupt it at this time. Even the imprisoned Xuanjun Prince Chu Tiankuo, Jinjun Prince Chu Tianyin, and the fifth prince Chu Tianzheng were forced to participate in the ceremony.

The coronation ceremony was grand and complicated. The dragon robe made in a hurry by the inner court was slim and fit, and the bright yellow light was dazzling. The fifteen-year-old girl had a cold face, a noble demeanor, and her eyebrows and eyes were filled with a noble and inviolable atmosphere.

The endless steps of the palace were filled with royal guards. Civil and military officials stood in the square in an orderly manner, witnessing this first coronation ceremony of the empress in the history of Xiqi.

The process was no different from the coronation ceremonies of previous dynasties. The only difference was that the person who ascended the dragon throne was a princess, not a prince.

The bells and drums sounded, and all the officials kowtowed.

A high-pitched voice sounded: "Kneel--"

All the officials knelt down, kowtowed, and stood up.

"Kneel again--"

The officials knelt for the second time, kowtowed, and stood up.

"Kneel for the third time--"

No matter how reluctant they were, they still solemnly repeated the same action, and would never make any irrational moves at such a sacred and solemn moment.

But accidents are inevitable at any time.

Chu Qinghuang stood on the high steps of the palace, silently and majestically looking at the crowds of people in the square, the orderly guards, the respectful and submissive officials, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for presiding over the ceremony, and the female officials accompanying her...

Whoosh!

A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air, and a sharp dart with a cold light shot towards the bright yellow figure that attracted the attention of thousands of people at lightning speed, murderous, sharp and cold.

Chu Qinghuang frowned slightly, staring at the dart that was coming quickly, and her cold eyebrows were like frost.

A figure flashed out from the dark behind him, and dozens of black-clad figures suddenly emerged from all directions. The murderous darts were shot down by the shadow guards who suddenly emerged before they could get close to Chu Qinghuang.

Shadow guards are out!

Imperial guards are out!

The noble Queen was instantly protected behind heavy defenses.

At the same time, there was a commotion in the square!

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor quickly!"

"Come on! Catch the assassin!"

The officials who realized it later started to roar in a hurry, not knowing whether they were taking the opportunity to show their loyalty or were eager to remove themselves from the suspicion of assassination.

However, looking at the huge square, it was majestic, powerful, and solemn... In such an occasion, where could the assassin hide?

Fu Cang pursed his lips tightly, his eyes as sharp as a cold sword, staring closely at the guards holding the treasure canopy on both sides of the palace road in the distant square.

In a moment, his body rushed out like a gust of wind.
