BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1732 Crowning Ceremony 4
Lu Jiming raised his gaze as the grand procession passed by.
In the distance, he caught sight of the King, adorned in a resplendent dragon robe, accompanied by a finely dressed new Queen, whose face remained partially obscured. Intrigued, Lu Jiming edged forward, attempting to get a closer look. Those ahead of him muttered curses under their breath, reproaching his behavior. In the past, Lu Jiming would have been bothered by such reprimands, but his focus on the new King and Queen rendered him indifferent to their words.
Slowly but surely, the procession drew nearer.
Lu Jiming's eyes widened with anticipation.
He strained his eyes, making every effort to discern the figures seated in the carriage as it approached.
And then, Lu Jiming finally saw who the couple truly were.
Well…
It wasn't Gu Ruxue!
It was…
Gu Chaoyan!
Gu Chaoyan appeared utterly transformed, exuding an undeniable air of elegance and striking beauty. Lu Jiming couldn't deny it—her unmistakable red birthmark confirmed her identity. She was indeed Gu Chaoyan.
"This is impossible! How can she be the new Queen?" Lu Jiming's disbelief echoed through his thoughts.
Madame Duke Changning and Duke Changning also found themselves in a state of panic. The housekeeper had not been mistaken—it was truly Gu Chaoyan.
"What are you shouting about?" The crowd around them gathered, their annoyance palpable. As the parade passed by, they had been on their knees, seeking blessings, while these three individuals continued to disrupt the proceedings with their outbursts.
Truthfully…
"Why not? Lord Huai is the new King, the son of the previous Queen! Moreover, Lord Huai has led the Shadow Door effectively, aiding us all this time. He deserves to be the King, without a doubt!" someone stepped forward, defending the decision.
The majority approved of Lord Huai's ascension to the throne, but it seemed someone disagreed.
Observing the reactions of those around him, the housekeeper interjected, "Furthermore, Lord Huai is betrothed to the Phoenix Girl! Having the Phoenix Girl is a tremendous blessing. Anyone who possesses her can claim the throne. Thus, Lord Huai is the rightful King!"
Anyone who possessed the Phoenix Girl could become the King?
That repulsive woman was the Phoenix Girl?
What in the world had transpired?
"What exactly is a Phoenix Girl?" Lu Jiming inquired, his confusion evident.
Upon hearing his question, the people's displeasure diminished slightly. They surmised that this man might be an outsider unaware of the recent happenings in the capital.
A kind-hearted individual explained, "The Phoenix Girl is the one who possesses the ability to unlock enchantment—a true blessing to our land! With her presence, we can lead peaceful lives, regardless of the chaos in the world."
" "…"
"The Elder Miss of the Gu Family is Pheonix Girl!"
" "…"
"Destiny Monk predicted that anyone who has the Phoenix Girl can be the King. We thought it was a joke, but apparently it was true!"
" "…"
"Lord Huai is the King. What a fortunate woman Phoenix Girl is. You should not mess around with Phoenix Girl. You have to kneel down at her so she can give you blessing!" That man said proudly.
Lu Jiming opened his mouth, watching all of these in disbelief.
So many things had happened…
Anyone who had Pheonix Girl could become the King…
So…
