Chapter 1099

Old Madame Qiu spoke slowly: "When this child was born, I knew that this day would come sooner or later. The Imperial Family’s fate is drawing to a close, but after all, the Han Family has been a lineage for over a thousand years. They are the rightful Human Emperors. If the dynasty changes, the world will descend into chaos, and the people will suffer untold misery.

I know that unless pushed to a certain point, you would not be disappointed in the Imperial Family. If Yong’an truly does not deserve to be emperor, why not choose another person to take that position? The various major forces are turbulent and uneasy, and the world is in chaos. The innocent common people will suffer countless casualties. Is that what you wish to see?"

The people from the Mu Family, Yin Family, and Wanqi Family remained silent, as Old Madame Qiu’s aura subtly changed, and a faint pressure emanated from her.

Even though the old lady was kind and amiable, having lived a lifetime, the demeanor she acquired was not something ordinary people possessed.

The Mu Family Head unconsciously licked his lips.

As the leader of the Four Great Families, the Mu Family has a reason for their longstanding loyalty to the Royal Family.

If the Han Family were not a destined Imperial lineage, a key factor in maintaining world peace, why would the Mu Family’s ancestors choose to serve beneath them?

The successive generations of the Royal Family all bear a red cloud totem on their shoulders.

At their birth, their noble status in the future is already destined.

It seems that the fate of the Imperial Family remains unceasing.

The Mu Family Head glanced at his two sons behind him. Over all these years, he had never thought of replacing the Imperial Family.

Even if he occasionally had minor thoughts, he would never joke with countless innocent lives.

The existence of the Imperial Family is something that cannot be defied.

Throughout history, how many people wanted to replace them, only to end in family destruction and extermination, without exception.

The Mu Family Head sighed lowly, looking at Yu Shuo, whose face was filled with confusion and bitter sorrow.

After a moment, he slowly kneeled on one knee.

Immediately Mu Zifan, Mu Ziyu, and other members of the Mu Family, also knelt on one knee.

The Immortal from the Wanqi family gave a glance to the other Wanqi family members, and they immediately took action.

Everyone paid their respects to Yu Shuo, who sat beside Old Madame Qiu, kneeling on one knee.

Yu Qingli and his wife Qiu Qingyun, due to this scene, unconsciously retreated a few steps. Having lived most of their lives, it was only today they realized their son’s identity was so complicated.

All of this had too much impact.

Because of overwhelming sorrow and excessive excitement, Qiu Qingyun unfortunately fainted.

Not far away, An Mingji, upon witnessing this scene, curved his sensual lips into a playful smile.

He turned and walked away, his departing figure indescribably graceful.

...

The sky was gloomy, and Beijing was layered with thick grayish clouds.

A cold wind howled, relentlessly lashing at people’s faces.

Gu Jin, dressed in a women’s suit and wearing black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, appeared elegant and poised, much like a meticulous businesswoman.

She followed Wanqi Yanghong, Wanqi Jingyi, along with a secretary and an assistant, a party of five smoothly entering the Chen Palace.

Wanqi Yanghong came to meet the master of Chen Palace, Han Yong’an, on official business.

The attendant beside Han Yong’an had long been waiting for them, personally leading them to the guest meeting room.

As they walked, Gu Jin lowered her eyes, appearing uninterested in everything around her.

Not only was she in a bad mood, lacking the desire to admire the lavishness of Chen Palace, but the sky was also dark and the conditions not favorable.

The attendant led them into a vast hall, stopping before a tightly closed door: "Mr. Wanqi, Young Master Wanqi, His Majesty is inside."

Wanqi Yanghong’s expression turned slightly somber as he nodded lightly to the attendant, skillfully stepping into the room.

Wanqi Jingyi glanced at Gu Jin standing beside him and slightly moved his hand at his side, ensuring she saw it before being the second to follow inside.
