The Way of the Empress

What happened at the banquet and Moody’s speech were quickly uploaded online. The network exploded that night.

The crown princess being a SS-level guide, and the news that he rescued the crown prince fried everyone’s brains. #Zhuo Yang SS-level guide#, #Crown princess saves crown prince#, and other tags immediately topped the search. The entire interstellar network was instantly filled with news related to Zhuo Yang’s mental power…

Even news of Emperor Winston’s transferring power to the crown prince a few days ago was suppressed.

Moodys wanted to give Zhuo Yang the best, and he wasn’t sure what to do. Not long after the video and speech were released, the royal family’s public relations team issued a press release, describing in detail or even exaggerating how Zhuo Yang almost died. Disregarding life and death, physical and mental trauma, to recover his permanently damaged mental power, and facing attacks from the empire’s strongest sentinel in a mad state. Being in danger, almost losing his life, in order to save Moodys. The release was very detailed and included specifics.

The official press release of the Royal Family is pushed across the entire network.

Originally, the prince said, “He gave me my life, and I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life.” All netizens just listened to this sentence casually, and didn’t take it seriously.

But as soon as such a specific and detailed press release came out, many people suddenly felt that Moodys owed Zhuo Yang his entire life — this life was given by Zhuo Yang.

Many fans of Moodys were sincerely grateful to Zhuo Yang: “Thank you, Your Highness. If it were not for you enduring such violent pain, and fighting hard with your life, His Royal Highness would not survive, and recover. I sincerely thank you on behalf of all the supporters of His Royal Highness… I used to be a fan of Your Highness, only because Your Highness liked the crown prince. But from now on, I will be a supporter of Your Highness, who really is a very great and excellent guide.”

“It turns out that mental power can still be recovered after forbidden drug damage, but the recovery is actually so painful, and it is almost lost… ah, it is too scary. A man who makes such forbidden drugs that damage the spiritual power of guides, who are such weak creatures, is simply a ghost.”

“Don’t know how much the poor crown princess suffered to have the hope of rescuing the crown prince, and rescued the crown prince… he is such a thin, slender guide. This is probably strength of love. I believe in love again.”

“Perfect appearance, a nine-tailed fox as a quantum beast, and SS-level spiritual strength. The great beauty of Zhuo Yang must be a little angel born to god. It’s a pity that the SS-level strength was almost destroyed, and was restored after nine deaths… Fortunately, god loves him enough.” Some people couldn’t help feeling this way.

“His Royal Highness really owes the crown princess his life. And the weak guide of the crown prince… In order to save his glimmer of hope, he endured so much pain. If His Royal Highness fails His Highness in the future, even I will be unsatisfied, and have to denounce the crown prince. The crown prince must treat the crown princess well his entire life.”

“This post is proof. If the crown prince later mistreats the crown princess, we must stand up for His Highness. His Royal Highness must forever His Highness this life.”

“Upstairs +1.”

“+1.”

“+10086.”

Many left such messages after reading the press release, saying that Zhuo Yang paid so much to save Moodys and almost died. If Moodys dared fail Zhuo Yang in the future, they must stand on Zhuo Yang’s side to seek justice for him.

Some people even thought of giving Xia Xiuzhi the death penalty after seeing Zhuo Yang suffering to restore his mental strength.

Although it’s just talk, many people’s intentions are on Zhuo Yang’s side…

Many of Osphia’s dignitaries appeared in the banquet video released by the royal family. Although Rand, who was extremely unwelcome at this event, did his best to avoid being caught by the camera, he was still in the video. A netizen took a screenshot of. his side face and asked meagerly: “Is this Rand Corey? The bitch who abandoned the crown prince and climbed the second prince when he was critically ill. He still has the face to attend a banquet held at the crown prince’s house. Really has a big face, and thinks he’s a dish of garlic.”

“Hey, that’s really him. Who gave him the face to dangle in front of the crown prince and princess? I hate disgusting people, his face is really thicker than the city wall.”

“The one upstairs, it’s okay, don’t be so angry. It doesn’t matter if he goes, His Royal Highness and His Highness are so affectionate that they would not treat him as a pan of garlic at all. That… I remember that he was an S-level guide, and saying everyday he is the guide with the strongest spiritual power. Now the crown princess recovered his SS-level spiritual power? Rand is far worse than him. I really don’t know if Rand’s face hurts to stand there and listen to the crown prince’s speech.”

“Now, he’s not the strongest guide in the empire. Think about how he used to be prideful and arrogant, claiming that no one is worthy of him. See how he fares in the future!”

“I really believe in the words that His Highness has the fate of an empire queen. He is so lucky! After His Royal Highness married him, they are all one family, and are no longer strangers.”

…

“These… these trash!” Gritting his teeth, Rand read the various ridiculing comments on the network. He almost smashed the optical brain in his hand.

Seeing his frustrated look, his mother, Mrs. Judy, immediately frowned in dissatisfaction: “Okay, don’t go crazy. If you were smarter and didn’t make things so ugly, how could this happen?”

“Mother—” Rand was aggrieved.

She wanted to say a few more words about him, but Rand’s aunt, Mrs. Jenny, stopped her: “Well, don’t scold little Rand, it’s not his fault. Who would have thought things would become like this? Don’t be angry with Rand, just scold those unsophisticated people. They can’t do anything to you. Let them curse a few words, you won’t lose a piece of meat. There is no need to be tied up with such inferior people.”

Mrs. Jenny is the sister-in-law of Queen Catherine and the aunt of Crown Prince Moodys. She was the one who made the connection between Rand and Moodys in the first place.

After Rand had such an incident, her first thought is to have Rand and Vincent put aside their relationship on the surface to escape the abuse of the netizens.

But in private, she has a very good relationship with her sister. She didn’t have any guide children, and treats Rand as her own.

Rand frowned aggrievedly.

“I really don’t know how I gave birth to such a stupid son. Can’t even use superficial skills and pretense.” Rand’s mother continued scolding him.

Mrs. Jenny immediately patted her on the shoulder to show comfort: “Okay, okay, don’t be angry, the both of you, mother and son.”

“It seems that our crown princess is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. My eldest nephew did this for him… Now the entire interstellar knows that Moodys owes him. We didn’t put him in our eyes and only treated him as a beautiful vase.” Mrs. Jenny glanced at the press release issued by royal family on how Zhuo Yang paid to save Moodys, and suddenly said: “We thought Gu Xia and the Gu family were the strongest competitors of our little Rand. Now it turns out this declining family and child of the common people is the most well-hidden ones.”

Mrs. Judy looked at her son, hating iron for not being steel: “How can he expect to be queen like this now?”

“This is not necessarily the case, the matter is not completely certain. Before it settles… Who can tell?” Mrs. Jenny looked into the distance and smiled lightly.

Mrs. Judy didn’t care much about it.

Although the various forces had many ideas and each had their own minds, it is an established fact that Emperor Winston handed over power to Crown Prince Moodys and entered a semi-retired state.

Moodys’s personal appeal and influence is very strong. He quickly resolved the issues that should be resolved, and firmly consolidated the forces in his hands. It was because of Moodys suffering a severe illness that things became chaotic that year. The scattered power of the dragon1Aka, the throne/or power of the empire or country without a head was gathered within a short period after his recovery, becoming the crowning dragon, and a sharp blade that had just been unsheathed.

Many eccentric forces are looking forward to the prince’s two brothers tearing up with—

Especially as they almost replaced the crown prince’s position and took the third prince’s power of the Rising Sun Legion from the hands of Emperor Winston.

There are even a lot of people fanning the wind behind their backs, lighting the fire and wishing to make trouble, but they expect the outcome. The second prince was stunned, and the third prince Leo expressed himself directly and firmly as supporting his elder brother, the crown prince, and assisting in the crown prince’s wishes.

What can you say to those people waiting to watch the show? Why can’t the brothers turn against each other?

The attitude of the crown prince is impenetrable, making it impossible to find flaws. Many people planned to start with the crown princess from the declining family to find an opening.

Previous rumors circulating from various families were that he was an exquisitely beautiful vase.

Unexpectedly, in this experience, they finally realized that they had misunderstood this person.

The crown princess is really a master.

First, without waiting for them to come, he directly went to the doors of the commanders of the several major legions that were intricately rooted in Osphia’s power circle to have a good talk, and defeated them.

Just when the commanders of some corps didn’t take him seriously and didn’t look in their eyes.

The second step he made was to join forces with Crown Prince Moodys. He didn’t say hello directly, and dismissed the worst, awkward, and self-righteous Thunder Legion commander. He found someone else from the family who he was optimistic about cultivating, and directly let him assume the position of legion commander.

If they day try to fight back, Major General Ding Hui will directly led his rogue army to attack.

This was a wake-up call, and the purge of Osphia’s upper-class noble forces began.

In just half a month, five or six disobedient royal family members were dropped, and making constant small movements in the dark behind those aristocratic families. This act of killing chickens and monkeys for those big family heads, made other families panic.

No matter what they thought, they were forced to calm down for the time being, not daring to make any small movements.

They’re afraid of being the next target.

Zhuo Yang is well versed in undue haste. After they all quieted down a little bit, he knew that Osphia’s decay had penetrated into the country’s bones. He can’t attack too fiercely, otherwise it will lead to resistance from these people with military power. Even if they are cooperating, they can’t purge as soon as they see it.

After using the whip, give some candy for them to come to the door, and start negotiating one by one. Serve mutual interests, and both sides taking one step back, asking them to support the crown prince’s reform plane.

Many calling them Osphia’s upper-class sighed – I’m afraid that the crown princess’s scheming is superior even to the crown prince.
