Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Chapter 368: The Deal

A faint ambiguous laugh came from the red tent, "Oh, you all gathered here today to present a joint petition for a decree to go to war from my hand?"

All the ministers knelt down, "We humbly ask Your Majesty to grant us permission!"

But a sudden short mocking laugh came from above,

"I will not agree to this matter."

What!

What?!

The ministers were stunned and looked up at the top, but alas, the esteemed emperor was hidden behind the red gauze curtain, invisible.

They could not discern the expression of the current emperor, nor guess what the esteemed emperor was thinking.

This young esteemed emperor, renowned for his strategic ingenuity, this time did not even give a verbal explanation, simply rejecting their joint memorial.

Why on earth is this?

It’s too strange?!

A tall and burly middle-aged man led the guards and stormed into the court hall.

He was dressed in opulence, with a handgun hung at his waist, acting with extreme arrogance and domineering, paying no heed as if even the emperor on the high throne was beneath him.

The ministers all knelt down to pay their respects,

"Greetings Regent King!"

The newly arrived official also knelt, but was baffled, turning his head and whispering quietly to the old official beside him, "This... this person is too arrogant! He doesn’t surrender his weapon upon seeing His Majesty the Emperor, nor does he bow! Why must we still kneel before him?"

The old official wished he could cover his lips, reprimanding him in a low voice, "Shut up quickly, what do you know! This is Regent King Yuan Ke!"

"If you say the wrong thing, and lose your head, don’t blame me for not warning you!"

Upon hearing these words, the new official’s face turned pale, instantly realizing.

So, this is the rumored Regent King Yuan Ke!

This one is the veteran of two reigns, who supported the young emperor in ascending the throne after the palace coup, and has been holding power for years due to the emperor’s illness, deservedly being the regent!

The Emperor, who ascended when young, became increasingly frail, neglecting state affairs for years, virtually like a puppet emperor.

Of course, the ministers dared only think this in their hearts, none had the courage to utter it.

Those ministers who spoke earlier looked at Yuan Ke in difficulty, "His Majesty refused to dispatch troops northwards, it’s best if you personally persuade His Majesty, Regent King!"

Yuan Ke sneered coldly, looking up at the high throne, his sharp gaze seemingly wanting to pierce through the red gauze and see the person hidden within.

He turned to sweep over the ministers present, his aura fierce and arrogant, speaking loudly, "For years His Majesty neglected state affairs, fearing he is not much aware of current situations among nations, dispatching troops now would be the most correct decision for our Empire, I wish to personally lead the army northwards!"

"Insolence!"

An abrupt stern reprimand came from behind the curtain, "This empire was established by my Nine-tailed Fox Clan, a land entrusted to me by our ancestors, Regent King today, you wish to openly defy my decision!"

The atmosphere in the court hall suddenly froze, tense with gunpowder smoke.

Regent King Yuan Ke’s face also turned extremely unsightly.

He had held power in the court for years, nearly half of the ministers present were his men.

The Emperor stayed deep in the palace, having not accomplished much for years, simply a puppet and failed emperor. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Yuan Ke did not expect the Emperor today to dare openly use the ancestors of the Royal Family to pressure him!

Yuan Ke gritted his teeth, bowed his head, and said, "I do not dare!"
