The First Witch Concubine: No discount for high-level prostitutes

Three days later, the emperor passed away, and the entire palace was in a commotion. After the emperor passed away, who would he leave the throne to?In the entire Sunset Empire, only the Third Highness and the Seventh Highness are eligible to compete for the throne, and the other highnesses gave up the throne early on.

On the one hand is the saint, on the other hand is the empress faction.

Both forces are overwhelming.

In the early morning, the hall was silent, and the atmosphere was even a little tense.

Gu Liuxi stood aside with Ye Qingchen and the others, while Ye Jingyan and the Queen's faction formed another faction. The two forces stood apart, and a long road separated in the middle, and the people on both sides refused to give in.

The national teacher and the empress were sitting next to the throne, with the elderly husband standing on both sides.

The empress wiped her tears hypocritically, and said to all the officials with a heavy face, "I believe everyone is very saddened by the death of the emperor. The Ai family is also heartbroken. This world was built by our ancestors hard. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and I hope that a prince who can take on this important task can be elected today."

After the queen finished speaking, she gave a special wink to the old eunuch next to her.

As soon as the old eunuch received the queen's wink, he immediately understood, and followed the words: "The death of the emperor made people cry and sad, because the emperor had been ill for a long time, and he passed away before leaving a suicide note. According to the laws of the sunset empire , the throne should be inherited by the empress's direct relatives, namely His Royal Highness Ye Jingyan."

After the old eunuch finished speaking, Ye Jingyan immediately stood up from the crowd, "My Highness will definitely devote all my energy to carrying forward the Sunset Empire and stepping into the path of a strong country."

"Wait a minute..." Hearing them talking to themselves, the old national teacher who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

The queen frowned suddenly, and looked at the old national teacher, "National teacher, do you have any objections to this?" Has this old guy started to make a move?Let's see what an old bastard he can use to fight her.

The queen looked determined to win, which also made the old eunuch next to her terribly stunned.

"It is true that the new emperor should be elected after the death of the first emperor, but His Highness the Seventh Prince may not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility!" the old national teacher said with a deep meaning.

The queen was not angry and sneered: "The emperor's son of the Ai family can't afford it. What does the national teacher mean by this? Does the national teacher want to not abide by the laws of this country?"

"I don't dare, but I feel that His Royal Highness Seventh Prince is still young, impetuous, not mature enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the entire country. This is related to the lifeline of the entire Sunset Empire, so how can it be child's play."

"Hmph..." The empress snorted softly, thinking that if her son was underestimated, it meant that she was underestimated, "Isn't the national teacher exaggerating! If the emperor ascends to the throne, there will be all kinds of officials around him to help him!" , will definitely be able to manage the Sunset Empire well, no matter how bad it is, the Empress Dowager Aijia will be here to assist, so the national teacher naturally does not have to worry about it."

The old national teacher frowned lightly, he had already guessed that the queen would say this, and said in a serious manner: "Even so, it does not prove that the seventh highness is the future emperor, why don't we let the saintesses of our country come to support the setting sun?" Let's count the future of the empire!"

"Saint?" The queen sneered and said, "Master, what do you mean by that? My Sunshine Empire's saints had disappeared a hundred years ago, so where did the saints come from? , isn’t everyone able to become a saint?”

I knew the empress would retort like this, the old national teacher had left a hand early in the morning, he waved his hand, and then a general came in from outside the shop door, with something on his hands, because it was covered by a piece of red cloth It's wrapped so that people can't see what's inside.

"I see the empress empress, my empress is thousands of years old..." The general knelt in the center of the hall.

The empress waved her hand impatiently, "Get up! What is this thing, open it up and let Aijia see it." Even if the old man took out something, today the throne must be her prince's seat.

The general didn't listen to the empress's words and uncovered the things under the red cloth, but looked up at the old national teacher next to him.

The old national teacher nodded slightly towards the general.

After receiving the hint from the old national teacher, the general uncovered the things in his hand layer by layer.

Without uncovering one layer, the hearts of all the ministers kept beating to the rhythm of the general.

They were all secretly guessing what was under the red cloth.

What would be under the red cloth!

Finally, when everyone's heartbeats were in unison, the thing under the red cloth finally surfaced.

It turned out to be just a stone engraved with a palm print.

However, it was just a small stone, but it was enough to scare the empress and others.

No one thought that at this juncture, the old national teacher would bring this thing out.

But hadn't this little rock been destroyed a long time ago?Why did this stone suddenly appear again? The first emperor spent all his manpower and material resources but could not find it. Why did it appear at this time.

What the hell is this stone, everyone is shocked!

It turns out that this stone is called the Saintess Stone.

As the name suggests, it is a stone carried by the saint. It is said that after Nuwa repaired the sky, in order to protect the world, Nuwa left a girl beside her in the world, and left the girl's palm print on the stone to remember. Keeping her identity, let her descendants from generation to generation become the maintenance and guardian of this world.

That stone became the only symbol of the Saintess, that is to say, as long as the palm of the hand is put into the Saintess Stone, the stone will shine, which means that she is the Saintess of the Sunset Empire.

More than 100 years ago, when the saint disappeared, the saint stone sank like a stone and disappeared without a trace.

"Ah! Could this be the legendary Saintess Stone?"

Many ministers began to discuss below.

The legend of the Saintess Stone is a story known to everyone in the Sunset Empire, a long story that has been left for tens of thousands of years.

It's just that everyone knows the story, but they have never seen the real Saintess Stone. When this stone appeared in the hall, many people had doubts.

The first to speak was the empress.

"National Teacher, how can you prove that this stone is the Holy Maiden Stone that has disappeared for more than 100 years?" She didn't believe it was the real Holy Maiden Stone. The Holy Maiden Stone had disappeared for more than 100 years. If they couldn't find it, this stone must be fake, it was just a trick of the old immortal, so naturally she couldn't fall into his scheme.

"Hehe..." The old national teacher smiled, and said calmly: "If the empress doesn't believe it, you can let people try the authenticity."

Do you think she dares not let people try it?

The empress beckoned, and a guard came in from outside the hall. This guard was usually the empress's personal bodyguard. He was very skilled in martial arts. He was loyal to her wholeheartedly. This kind of thing naturally required the most trusted person around him.

The general directly held the Saintess Stone in both hands and placed it in front of the guard. The guard kept a cold face from the beginning to the end, and put his hand into the palm print on the Saintess Stone without saying a word.

"what……"

There was a sudden scream in the lobby, and when the guard's hand was pulled out quickly, it was bloody, and the whole palm seemed to be scalded by a fire.

The hall became silent because of the guard's scream.

Even the empress's face became extremely ugly.

Soon someone came in and took the guard with the scalded back of his hand down.

Seeing that everyone was so quiet, the national teacher spoke up, "Who among you don't believe it, you can go up and try it, but it is said that this saint stone was burned by the holy fire when the world was created, except for the real saint Besides, putting anyone's palm in it will be like being scorched by the holy fire." There was a touch of warning in the words of the national teacher.

However, some people who didn't believe it went up and tried it, and ended up crying in the lobby.

Gu Liuxi, who had been standing behind Ye Qingchen, couldn't help but swallowed, seeing that the palms of those who didn't believe were burned, she was scared!She wasn't sure if she was the real saint, if it wasn't for this time, she would have wanted to run away.

Who would like to put their hands in it and be roasted!Not bread.

After many people tried, no one dared to step forward.

The empress's face also became extremely frightening, but she did not lose the empress' aura, "In this case, why not let this 'saint' try as well?" She still didn't believe that Gu Liuxi was a saint, look at her That way, that kind of looks like a saint, she wanted to see how the national teacher made a fool of himself, how this ignorant girl got her palm burnt.

The national teacher's eyes looked at Gu Liuxi, and everyone's eyes followed to Gu Liuxi.

At this time, Gu Liuxi really wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in so that no one could see her.

It was so scary, she felt like her palms were burnt and hurt, what should I do!Could she not try that stone!

The screams of those who tried just now kept ringing in her ears, and she was really frightened.
