Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Blood Clan Queen (26)

At the inheritance ceremony, Karlo and Xia Ci’s explanations for the abdication edict were full of holes.

Yet they didn’t seem very worried.

Chuzheng guessed that they might have a backup plan.

She hadn’t expected them to make a move on the Altar.

If the Blood Clan really believed that she was targeting the Altar,

even as the Blood Clan Queen, she would likely have to face a trial by a tribunal, and the outcome was uncertain.

So, she had released Yin Xian.

Unexpectedly, there really was a trick up their sleeve.

Someone was preparing to frame her.

Karlo might not have known whether she would show up, so he hadn’t prepared evidence in advance.

Instead, he arranged for someone to deliver it once she appeared.

As a result, Su Ji caught them red-handed.

–

The book appeared in Xia Ci’s room, Karlo had previously plotted a rebellion, Karlo tried to explain something, but Chuzheng flatly denied him.

I won’t listen to you, lock him up.

Provide a full-service treatment on the spot.

Karlo’s Blood Clan obviously wasn’t happy and wanted to get into a dispute with Chuzheng.

“Do you want to be the queen?”

Chuzheng asked them expressionlessly.

“…We dare not, Your Highness.”

“You have an opinion on my decision?” That bastard should have been locked up a long time ago, if not for the crowd, you wouldn’t have been able to jump around for so long.

It’s troublesome when there are so many people…

“Your Highness, Prince Karlo, he…”

“Take him as well.” Chuzheng instructed Su Ji, “Arrest anyone who pleads for them.”

“Your Highness!” a Blood Clan member shouted angrily, “You can’t do this! Prince Karlo has nothing to do with this!”

“Why can’t I, am I not the queen?” Chuzheng spoke calmly, “Of course I can.”

“Do you have evidence?”

“He plotted a rebellion in front of so many people, do I still need evidence? Do you think everyone here is blind and stupid?”

“…”

All the Blood Clan: “…”

Why involve them?

Chuzheng, carrying the queen’s ‘my word is law, I’ll do as I please’ indifferent attitude, quickly resolved these individuals.

The Blood Clan nobles, previously distracted by Karlo and the Altar, now suddenly realized that their princess was much more decisive than ever before.

If it had been in the past,

this matter would have dragged on indefinitely.

Karlo and Xia Ci were imprisoned.

Bruno felt somewhat frustrated, having thought he could show his prowess, but ended up achieving nothing?

“Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with Prince Karlo’s matter?” a prince came to inquire.

“Dispose of him,” Chuzheng blurted out.

“…” The other party’s mouth twitched, “Your Highness, Karlo is a prince.”

That meant you can’t just dispose of him arbitrarily.

Even if you are the queen, it’s not allowed.

The Blood Clan has its own procedures for trials.

Chuzheng: “…” So is this queen just for show?

“Xia Ci followed you for so many years, I never expected he was harboring such malicious intent. I had warned Your Highness before, humans can’t be trusted.”

“The Blood Clan can be trusted?” Karlo is still strutting around over there.

“…”

The conversation couldn’t continue!

“Your Highness, the car is here,” Su Ji called Chuzheng.

Chuzheng turned and walked away, Su Ji opened the car door for her.

Lucy hugged the young man, her gaze fixated on a white figure in the car.

“My lord…” the young man called out softly.

Lucy immediately released the young man’s wrist, “Did I hurt you?”

“No… no,” the young man stammered weakly.

“You’re really nothing like him,” said Lucy, her tone enigmatic.

After returning, the young man was abandoned by Lucy. He was scared and frightened, and pleaded with her, but the more he did so, the more Lucy was displeased.

“Take him away.”

She waved her hand impatiently.

The Blood Clan immediately dragged the youth away.

Lucy stood in front of the mirror, looking at the enchantingly seductive person inside, and revealed a smile capable of bewitching all living beings.

“My lord, did things go smoothly today?”

“Today, well…” Lucy rested her fingertip on her rosy lips, “was quite interesting.”

“My lord, what was so interesting?”

“Her Royal Highness has returned, Karlo has been locked up, tell me isn’t that interesting?”

Her Royal Highness has returned?

“Isn’t Her Royal Highness abdicated…”

“Abdicated?” Lucy chuckled dismissively, “Who would give up the position of Blood Clan King so easily?”

So it wasn’t an abdication at all.

“Prepare a gift, we’re going to visit Her Royal Highness.” Lucy watched the person in the mirror with a sort of obsession.

Why does that person not like her?

“My lord, at this time…” the Blood Clan behind her hesitated.

Her Royal Highness had just returned, and during such a critical time, paying a visit might not be wise.

The beauty in the mirror looked back at him with deep, dark eyes.

The Blood Clan member behind lowered his head and said, “Yes.”

–

Chuzheng moved from Bruno Castle back to her own place.

“Did Her Royal Highness agree to you staying here?” Bruno asked darkly, looking at his curse of a relation whom he did not like much.

“Of course, otherwise would I dare to stay here without permission?” Su Ji laughed.

“You…” Bruno was livid with anger, “Can’t you have a proper conversation with me?”

“I dare not, since you are the prince,” Su Ji mocked sarcastically.

“…” You still remember I am a prince!

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going in. Her Royal Highness is waiting for me.”

“You stop right there!”

Su Ji walked away quickly, angering Bruno to the point of nearly ‘logging off’.

How did he end up with such a curse!

–

Zhi Kong was placed in a room. Even though he knew she was Her Royal Highness the Queen, seeing all this left Zhi Kong somewhat bewildered.

He walked around the room, opened the window, and looked down below.

He happened to see the scene where Su Ji infuriated Bruno, causing him to jump up and down with anger.

The Blood Clan…

So they too had such entanglements.

In human belief, the Blood Clan was probably nothing more than cold-blooded animals that fed on human blood.

Zhi Kong touched the knife, his brows revealing a hint of sorrow.

Ever since he knew about the existence of the Blood Clan in this world, the knife had always been with him.

It was like a part of his own body.

It had also saved him countless times…

Zhi Kong’s palm grasped the blade.

When would he be able to avenge his own people?

“What are you doing?”

Zhi Kong was pulled away, and the knife was snatched from his hands, clattering onto the windowsill.

“Suicide?” Chuzheng pinched his wrist, “Did I allow it?!”

Zhi Kong blinked, his eyelashes fluttering lightly, his beautiful pupils filled with confusion, “I’m not committing suicide.”

Chuzheng lifted his hand, “Then what are you doing? Your Blade Devouring your soul?”

Only then did Zhi Kong notice the cut on his palm.

He had been thinking about his own people just now and hadn’t paid attention…

Blood flowed down, dripping onto the carpet, filling the air with a sweet scent.

Suddenly, Chuzheng grabbed his hand and bent down to lick the wound.

The cool tip of her tongue swept across his palm, intertwining pain and coolness, bringing a strange sensation.

Zhi Kong’s fingertips curled up slightly, touching her face.

That cold face, smooth as tofu, felt like silk as his fingertips glided over it.

She slightly dropped her gaze, her eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.

Her profile looked serious and solemn.

As if he were especially cherished by her.
