A tone caused thousands of waves to ripple!
If all the earlier quarrels had secretly caused waves in people’s hearts, then Shangguan You’s appearance had completely started a shocking wave in the crowd’s heart.
Who in the Tianling Dynasty didn’t know that His Majesty was in a coma due to his severe illness and hadn’t woken up in two years?! Many even guessed that he would never wake up, but they didn’t expect that he did wake up and even appeared at this time.
When Chu Liuyue heard this, her heart trembled as she instinctively looked up. Even though she had already guessed that her father would appear today, she still couldn’t conceal her excitement and elation when she personally saw him standing there.
Looking at the familiar and kind appearance, her mind was momentarily blank. Everything in the surroundings suddenly became blurred at that moment. Only that person occupied her entire vision and became increasingly clear.
Chu Liuyue opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say a word as her heart was overwhelmed with longing at this point. Finally… I can finally see him again! Back then, I felt that I had no way out and knew that Father was also in their hands. Hence, I chose to set myself on fire and commit suicide in the end. But after I was reborn, I unknowingly discovered that Father was still alive but was unconscious the whole time. Although I don’t know why Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng didn’t kill Father the whole time and even tried to wake him up later on, this is a happy thing for me. I have been waiting patiently for this, and this day finally came after countless days of torturous waiting.
The scene seemed to become still. Even Weichi Song and the others didn’t expect Shangguan You to suddenly appear as they stood rooted to the ground in shock.
Xiahou Rong was the fastest one to react. Perhaps it was because he had made a vicious oath earlier or because he was pointed out, but he was the first to realize what was going on compared to the rest.
He looked up at the man standing on the upper ground in a daze, and his lips trembled. “H-His Majesty? You—you’re awake?!”
Once he said this, he finally shocked the others awake.
Shangguan You looked up, glanced at the sky, half-squinted his eyes, and looked emotional. “Yeah, I woke up! Why? Officer Xiahou, are you very disappointed?”
“I wouldn’t dare!”
Putong!
Xiahou Rong immediately kneeled down. “Your Majesty, I don’t even have time to be happy that you’re awake. Why would I be disappointed?!”
Jiang Yucheng also tidied his expression and kneeled down. “Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!”
This move brought along the rest.
Everyone in the square kneeled down in unison, and the shouts were deafening! “Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, may you live for a million years!”
Shangguan You looked down, and his gaze turned hazy when he saw the crowd kneeling down. “Everyone, at ease!”
The crowd then stood up respectively, but with Shangguan You around, the atmosphere had greatly changed from before.
Most people chose to remain hushed, afraid that they would say something wrong and cause trouble for themselves.
Anyone that had a brain would’ve reacted. How is this a wedding and an ascension ceremony? Someone clearly set up a trap, and they’ve been waiting for a good show! It looked calm on the surface, but tensions were rising in secret!
Jiang Yucheng glanced at Shangguan Wan and reminded her, “Wan’er, His Majesty is awake. Your efforts weren’t wasted.”
Shangguan Wan was dazed and rapidly realized something. Her expression then abruptly changed, and tears welled up in her eyes. “Father—”
She rapidly rushed forward as two rows of clear tears streamed down as if she was crying out of happiness.
“Greetings, Father! Father, it’s great that you’re awake!” As she spoke, she touched her face and took pity on herself. After that, she muttered, “My injury is worth it… to be able to see you safe, Father.”
Shangguan You glanced at her quietly, but it didn’t look like his heart ached. Instead, he looked rather nonchalant.
Then, he lightly asked, “Looking at this ceremony, it seems like you’re planning to ascend the throne?”
Shangguan Wan’s cries instantly disappeared as if someone forcefully cut her off.
Panic flashed across her face at that moment. Without even wiping her tears, she hurriedly said, “N-no… It’s because you didn’t wake up for a long time, s-so…”
As an emperor, they would be most afraid of someone eyeing their position!
Shangguan Wan had clearly touched a big taboo! Even though the Tianling Dynasty couldn’t carry on without a leader and that it was right for her to ascend the throne, she couldn’t say such words in front of Shangguan You.
After all, he hadn’t died yet! This was especially the case when he was still awake at this moment!
“W-when did you wake up? I actually didn’t know. I’ve really failed in my duties…” Shangguan Wan tried hard to save her face.
However, this move clearly didn’t have much use on Shangguan You. “It was all because of Physician Zuo’s meticulous care that I can wake up so smoothly.”
Shangguan Wan was dazed. Physician Zuo?
At this point, another person walked out from behind Shangguan You—it was Zuo Mingxi!
Everyone was dazed at that moment. There is also a Zuo Mingxi beside Shangguan Wan! Why are there two—
“Wh-who are you?!” Shangguan Wan’s expression changed suddenly, and she hollered!
The ‘Zuo Mingxi’ standing in front suddenly laughed lightly. “Why are you yelling? Do you not recognize me?”
As he spoke, he removed his mask. A handsome appearance with eyes as clear and cold as ice appeared, and he smiled in a flirtatious manner.
It was Jian Fengchi!
Shangguan Wan seemed as though she was struck by lightning when she saw Jian Fengchi.
Jiang Yucheng also suddenly realized something as shock flashed across his eyes. Could it be…
Shangguan You stood at the top of the nine flights of stairs as his gaze turned. He looked at Chu Liuyue and smiled slightly. “Ms. Chu, right? Don’t worry. I’ll be your witness.”
Chu Liuyue’s nose turned sour, and tears suddenly welled up.
