Chapter 329 The Ambitious Empress Dowager
Within just a quarter of an hour, the news that "Your Majesty has passed away" spread throughout the palace.
Under the simulation of the mental power that Gu Yuena helped to exert, all the wounds on Xu Zheng disappeared, and were eventually identified as sudden death caused by sudden anger.
After letting all officials know the news, Gu Chen ordered as the national teacher to block the news as soon as possible and prevent the people of Mingdu from knowing it.
With the leadership of Gu Chen, Xu Haoran naturally ascended the throne and became the new Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire!
A day later, a mourning service for the former emperor Xu Zheng was held. Xu Zheng's widow, the current empress dowager, threw herself on Xu Zheng's crystal coffin and covered her face and cried, tears flowing endlessly.
However, in the shadow that no one could see, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Behind the Empress Dowager, more than a dozen Douluo-level military officers even had a vague trend of protecting the Empress Dowager in their standing position.
Xu Zheng is a hero full of ambitions, and his wife is not a lord who is willing to be ordinary. This empress dowager also has her own ambitions!
Even when Xu Zheng was alive, I probably didn’t know that there were ten Douluoes in the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire, and two titled Douluoes, who were secretly recruited by the Empress Dowager!
After a long time, the empress dowager stopped crying and she stood up.
She stroked the head of her child Xu Haoran with one hand, showing a loving look, then looked at everyone and said, "Your Majesty is still young and is not enough for the only son to handle government affairs. From now on, the Ai family will rule the affairs behind the curtain and help His Majesty make decisions!"
All officials were shocked when they heard this.
An elderly civil servant stood up and said, "Empress Dowager? This does not comply with the rules, right? Our Sun and Moon Empire has clear regulations. Empresses and concubines? Do not interfere in government affairs!"
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "Why not? Your Majesty is young, and as a mother, the Ai family naturally needs help to their children."
As the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the ten Douluo and two titled Douluo stood up, and they looked at everyone coldly. The momentum they exuded forced everyone to silence.
At this time, Gu Chen was on the periphery of everyone. When he saw this, his face darkened.
If the Empress Dowager was allowed to monopolize the power, then his efforts would be in vain!
And even without him secretly manipulating the Sun and Moon Empire behind his back, he could not escape the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty in his previous life.
"Empress Dowager? I object to this matter!" Gu Chen said loudly. He pushed away the officials blocking his way and walked to the front of the Empress Dowager.
The ten Douluo and two titled Douluo quickly stood in front of the Empress Dowager? They looked at him vigilantly.
Seeing the empress dowager's unhappy expression, Gu Chen smiled and said, "As a minister, I should be able to assist Your Majesty as a good emperor? At this time, I will not bother the empress dowager."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled and said without a smile: "Haha, as a mother, this kind of thing still needs to be done by the Ai family in person. Why, does the national master want to stop the Ai family?"
"Yes, since it's about Your Majesty? Then what should you decide on this matter?" Gu Chen snorted coldly and said.
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed? You know, Xu Haoran is her biological son. No matter how you say it, he should be on his side, right?
She looked at Xu Haoran in her arms with expectation and said softly: "Haoran, this matter concerns the fate of the country. You should believe in your mother, right?"
Xu Haoran's eyes rolled around, and he took advantage of the empress dowager's unpreparedness to escape from her arms, and in the blink of an eye he ran behind Gu Chen.
Xu Haoran's tender voice came: "No, I want the National Master to assist me!"
"What?!" The Empress Dowager was shocked. Unexpectedly, Xu Haoran did not choose to support her mother. Instead, she was willing to believe in a national teacher who had been in the Sun and Moon Empire for less than a month. This made her unbelievable!
However, she didn't know that Xu Haoran had been enslaved by Gu Chen's master and servant soul contract, and he could not have disobeyed Gu Chen's orders at all!
Gu Chen smiled: "It seems that Your Majesty still supports me! Now, it is time for everyone to see my true appearance!"
As Gu Chen finished speaking, the old man with the bone fairy wind disappeared, and what replaced him was Gu Chen's original handsome appearance.
The Empress Dowager, who was already desperate, saw Gu Chen's original appearance, as if she had seized the last hope. She shouted angrily: "You are not the national teacher! Who are you?!"
Gu Chen smiled evilly and said, "The national teacher Muen is just an identity that I have made up for covering up. My real name is Gu Chen!"
The new emperor Xu Haoran also echoed: "Yes, he is the national teacher! He is my national teacher!"
However, the Empress Dowager shouted angrily: "Haoran, you must have been bewitched by the demon! Come and kill this demon for the Ai family!"
The ten soul Douluo and two titled Douluo who had already surrendered to the Empress Dowager immediately released their martial souls and rushed towards Gu Chen.
The martial souls of the two titled Douluo were Zhuri, and the titled Zhuri, and the martial souls of the other person were Thunder Shield, and the titled Thunder Shield.
Zhuri Douluo waved the Zhuri gun in his hand, and his second soul ring lit up. The Zhuri gun burst out a red light and swept towards Gu Chen.
Thunder Shield Douluo also released his fourth soul skill, and the huge square shield lingered with thunder slapped Gu Chen in front of him.
The ten soul controls each released their own soul skills and bombarded Gu Chen.
Faced with such a concentrated attack, even a super Douluo is unbearable.
However, Gu Chen was not panicked at all. His body was covered with golden scales in an instant. At the same time, the golden scales flipped upwards and reflected dazzling white light.
Golden Dragon Body!
Even if these attacks are too powerful, they cannot break Gu Chen's defense. The flipped golden scales instantly rebounded all the attacks, and a large number of attacks returned to these Contras, forcing them to vomit blood and retreat.
Because Thunder Shield Douluo is a defensive titled Douluo, he not only easily caught the rebound attack, but also helped Zhuri Douluo block the rebound.
Gu Chen did not continue to sit and wait for death. With a move of his right hand, the golden dragon spear appeared in his hand.
Forbidden time and space·Dragon Emperor Slash!
The golden dragon spear swept out under Gu Chen's full force, and countless golden lights turned into crescent-shaped arcs of guns, slashing towards the ten Soul Contras.
How could they, who are in the mere Soul Conquer Realm, resist Gu Chen's Forbidden Time and Space Slash and Dragon Emperor Slash?
