I'm a villain, not a devil

But it was precisely because of this that she saw that all the people who were possessed, including the twelfth prince, were actually connected to the moon hanging high in the sky.

Every late night, when white clouds float in the city, the moon in the sky will drop a silk thread invisible to the rest of the people. That thread will connect to the possessed person, who will then enter a state of possession by a heroic spirit, using all sorts of profound words to describe the current plight of the empire.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that the current Bai Ye should not ascend the throne. At least he should repair the imperial palace and worship the previous emperors again.

When these words were spread, they were interpreted in other ways - Her Royal Highness the Princess did not come to the throne legitimately and had not yet been recognized by successive emperors, so the country could not be handed over to her.

Such matters of gods and ghosts which had no practical effect would naturally not affect Bai Ye's decision, but many high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial capital believed them to be true, and some even pushed them forward in secret.

Bai Ye is no longer the Bai Ye of the past. All those who secretly pushed the idea were killed by her, but there are still many people who believe in this statement.

The succession to the imperial throne requires the recognition of all the nobles. In the past, this was just a step, but in the current situation, the other group of nobles used this as an excuse to prevent Bai Ye from ascending the throne.

He couldn't kill them all, and there was no way to kill them all. Bai Ye wanted to force his way to the throne, but he didn't expect so many people to stand up and oppose him today.

She lowered her eyes and watched those people quarreling with the attitude of a queen, her eyes were already furrowed together.

The two groups were arguing in the front, one was talking about the current status of the empire, the other was talking about the approval of the previous emperor. You have your reasons, I have my banner, and no one can convince the other.

Just then, von Braun suddenly brought up another thing.

"The door to the Imperial Treasury is now closed. The late Emperor died without leaving any last words, so no one can open the door... including Your Highness the Princess. If the Treasury recognizes that Your Highness is now qualified to inherit the throne, it should be opened to Your Highness."

After these words were spoken, the voices of the others became much quieter, and Bai Ye even frowned tightly.

Yes, after Bai Wujiu's death, the imperial treasury was completely unable to be opened. The fact that this treasury, which in a sense symbolized the emperor's power, could not be opened seemed to represent a lot of things.

Off the field, the expressions of Lan Youshan and others became increasingly serious, while the opposition became louder.

They did not dare to openly refute the legitimacy of Bai Ye's current position of power, but they used various evidences to try to prove that Bai Ye was not qualified to inherit the throne.

Bai Ye, who had been silent, finally spoke. She stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone is right. Let's put this matter aside for now. The most important thing now is to help the imperial capital recover. I'll leave this matter to you all."

Seeing Bai Ye suddenly give in, von Braun and the others were overjoyed. Although they didn't dare to show it on their faces, they still shouted loudly: "Your Highness the Princess is wise!"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly: "The north of the city is now the most severely damaged, and the people are having a hard time. I am very pleased that you all care so much about the fate of the empire. How about this, Speaker von Braun, Governor Jude, and Marquis Garcia, you will be responsible for disaster relief and repairs in the north of the city - by the way, the National Memorial Day is still half a month away, and by then, I hope you can meet the requirements of holding the National Memorial Day, what do you think?"

The three people's faces froze slightly. Was the city north being repaired? It had almost been razed to the ground...

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess had just agreed to their opinion, and it would be unreasonable for them to refuse now.

There was no choice but to grit their teeth and agree to it. The renovation of the north city plus the pressure of the National Memorial Day would cost them a lot of money.

After the order was given, the matter was over. Although Lan Youshan and others had unfriendly expressions, they could not say anything more after Her Royal Highness the Princess spoke, and they could only say goodbye.

After everyone left, Bai Ye returned to his room and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

"Are you in trouble? Sister Baiye."

A hoarse voice sounded, Bai Ye looked up and saw Xiao Ci had come into the room without him noticing.

She smiled tiredly and waved to Xiao Ci. After she came to her, she hugged her gently and said, "Sister, I'm fine. I'm just a little upset."

Xiao Ci wrinkled his nose, and after a moment he said, "My brother said that if my sister has any secrets, such as national destiny, rituals, or other messy things, she can ask me for help."

Bai Ye just patted her head and said, "I know. Thank you, Xiaoci. However, I can handle it. When the time comes, I will take you to various places to have fun and eat. How about that?"

Xiao Ci just looked at her and finally shook his head.

Bai Ye was in a trance. For some reason, she saw the shadow of Sean in Xiao Ci.

This little Lolita who usually doesn't talk much actually has a reassuring temperament.

Is it because Sean has always taught her this... Is it because Sean is not with her at this time... Bai Ye thought in a daze.

Xiao Ci said calmly: "Sister Bai Ye, I know what you are thinking. Although you have reached many agreements with my brother, now that he is not here, you do not want to use the means he left behind to achieve your goals - you want to prove yourself before he comes back."

Bai Ye was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiao Ci could see through his thoughts at a glance.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

Yes, Sean left behind a lot of backup plans, and helped her win over the hearts of the military before leaving.

Moreover, he also said that the fighting and killing should be left to Cheryl, and the secret matters should be left to Xiao Ci.

Bai Ye understood the former, but he had always wondered how Xiao Ci would solve those secret matters.

However, Bai Ye never asked Cheryl or Xiao Ci for any help, so the idea behind this was naturally the same as what Xiao Ci said.

She wanted to try to control the entire empire with her own means without Sean's help.

Maybe it was her self-esteem, or maybe something else prompted her to make this decision.

Now that Xiao Ci had revealed everything, Bai Ye was stunned at first, then he laughed and shook his head: "Your brother really taught you everything..."

Xiao Ci said calmly: "My brother didn't teach me much. He was very, very nice to me most of the time. He didn't ask me to do anything. At most, he would occasionally mention various things and teach me to think like a bad guy."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "So he is self-taught?"

Xiao Ci said, "No, it's because sometimes I think this way too, and want to prove something to my brother - but I soon figured it out. No matter what I prove or not, in my brother's eyes, I am Xiao Ci, and nothing will change."

"Nothing will change..." Bai Ye was stunned.
