This voice sounded very confident, which was enough to show that he had a special identity.
Everyone looked over and subconsciously opened up a path for that person.
This man was handsome and had beautiful features. He was definitely the Prince Charming in the hearts of normal girls.
However, there seemed to be displeasure between his brows at this moment.
"Greetings, King Ji."
Qi Mengya hurriedly bowed!
Then, everyone else bowed as well.
"Miss Qi, please dispense with the formalities. Your body is not feeling well, so there's no need."
King Ji quickly said.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Then, King Ji looked at the people around him.
"All of you, dispense with the formalities."
King Ji waved his hand.
"Yes!"
They then got up and hurriedly walked away.
"Don't spread such rumors in the future. False rumors will greatly affect Miss Qi's innocence. If you spread it again, I will punish you severely!"
He looked at the people around him and said.
"Yes!
Your Highness. "
"All of you, disperse."
King Ji then smiled at Qi Mengya.
"How is Miss Qi's body now?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have completely recovered now."
Qi Mengya bowed slightly.
"That's good!
It's my birthday in a few days. Miss Qi, you must come. "
King Ji smiled.
"Mengya will definitely come."
"Okay!
Then I won't disturb you. Be careful, Miss Qi. Many demons have come to negotiate with our empire. I'm afraid that some of them will do something dirty. Don't go out at night. It's best if you have a strong companion. Miss Qi, you can also look for me. "
"Thank you, Your Highness."
King Ji nodded. "Okay, then I'll take my leave."
"Take care, Your Highness."
Then, he left in a hurry with his men as if something had happened.
"Miss, who is he?"
After King Ji left, Qi Mengya's maid asked curiously.
"King Ji is the third prince of the Xiang branch of the imperial family. Currently, the twelve princes and the three palace lords have all been conferred the titles of Grand Prince and Honorable Princess. A few days ago, each of them were given their respective territories. Our Liuzhou City's territory is under King Ji's jurisdiction. The neighboring territory belongs to the third prince of the Zhen branch, Zhen Wenyu, who has been conferred the title of King Yu. The adjacent territory belongs to the third prince of the Fei branch.
Qi Mengya said softly as she walked forward.
She had read thousands of books since she was young and knew a lot of things. She also knew a lot about these things.
"Ah?
Didn't they already have their own territories?
Why? "
The maid asked in confusion.
"In the empire, the royal family is the most powerful. Even the top forces are only about the same level as the royal family. They won't participate in these things. However, that might not be the case recently because Her Majesty is preparing to step down from the throne. The new emperor should be chosen from the twelve princes and three princesses. They acted very quickly. Within a month after the news spread, they were already conferred the titles of Prince and Princess."
Qi Mengya continued, "Actually, the goal is very simple. Give them their own territories and see how capable they are. Tacitly agree that they will fight with each other and even rope in other major forces. After some time, the most capable one will naturally be crowned emperor."
"Ah?
Didn't you say that the royal family doesn't like the royal family forming factions and even cooperating with other forces? "
Qi Mengya said, "That's true. However, this might be where Her Majesty is smart. Looking at it from a deeper level, isn't this a big move? What everyone can see, Her Majesty can naturally see as well. She is definitely smarter than anyone else."
"Of course. It's just that I don't know why Her Majesty suddenly doesn't want to sit on the throne. No one would have thought of it."
Qi Mengya sighed.
Her Majesty the Empress was truly someone she worshipped.
And this Prince Ji was also one of her suitors.
In the beginning, they met by chance a few years ago. At that time, he expressed his goodwill. However, as he was a prince, he didn't have much time. Moreover, his location was very far away from here. Therefore, they didn't have much contact after that.
However, now that he happened to be here and became a Prince, he directly went to the Qi family.
Firstly, he wanted to rope in the Qi family. Secondly, he wanted to meet Qi Mengya!
Of course, the Qi family wasn't so easy to rope in, but they wouldn't refuse either.
Almost none of the forces here would refuse. At most, they would first remain neutral!
If they remained neutral, they wouldn't be able to do anything in their fiefdom, right?
Therefore, one could understand why Prince Ji was so angry when he heard these rumors about Qi Mengya and Ye Tianyi.
…
"What has Zhen Wenyu been doing recently?
Is there any movement? "
Prince Ji asked one of his generals as he walked forward.
"There is news that King Yu has been close to the Thousand Poison Sect recently."
"Thousand Poison Sect?
Has he already established a good relationship with the Thousand Poison Sect? "
Prince Ji frowned.
"I don't think so. Otherwise, he wouldn't continue to go to the Thousand Poison Sect. He went there once two days ago. However, King Yu went there again just now."
"Oh?
Have they arrived? "
"No, they are on the way."
"Let's go!
Let's go to the Thousand Poison Sect. "
Prince Ji directly ordered.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, aren't we going to the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce?"
They were fighting for the throne and there was a very key point now. This key point was the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce!
Although the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce did not represent the Su family, Su Yuning was the future successor of the Su family and she was the boss of the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce!
Recently, there were rumors that Su Yuning had appeared in Liuzhou. Therefore, he, King Yu, Zhen Wenyu, and the neighboring fiefdom, the third prince of the Fei family, would definitely compete for the opportunity to cooperate with the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce!
That's right!
As long as they cooperated, they would have an advantage!
Of course, this cooperation might be a little deeper.
Not to mention them, the other second prince, the first prince, even if they were far away, as long as Su Yuning was here, they would probably come over.
Perhaps, they had already given up on Su Yuning, or they had some other strong goals.
"The Thousand Poison Sect and the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce reached an agreement a few days ago. King Yu has been running to the Thousand Poison Sect again and again because he doesn't need to cooperate with the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce. He only needs to cooperate with the Thousand Poison Sect. With the cooperation between the Thousand Poison Sect and the Five Moons Chamber of Commerce, he will definitely be able to benefit a lot. We can also benefit from this as long as we cooperate with the Thousand Poison Sect."
Prince Ji said.
"That's why I, King Yu's younger brother, spent so much effort to run to the Thousand Poison Sect. The Five Moons Chamber of Commerce is indeed very difficult to deal with, but I have a big advantage."
Xiang Siji sneered.
"Understood!"
