A day later, nine muffled bells rang out from the palace in succession.

Everyone in the palace knelt on the ground at this moment, and many people couldn't cry.

Because what it means, they know very well in their hearts.

That is the death of the emperor.

Originally, Mu Qingtian had been lying on the couch for a long time, and everyone had already expected the arrival of this day.

On this day, the entire Tianque City also fell into a rare silence.

When the news reached the ears of the four imprisoned princes, they not only did not have the slightest sadness, but were even extremely excited.

After all, once Mu Qingtian dies, then the four of them will always need to inherit the throne.

However, before they could rejoice, a shocking news came out.

That is, Mu Qingtian had summoned the internal officials before his death to draw up the last will.

It is clearly written on it that the successor of the Shenyu Empire is Mu Binglan.

Yes, you heard it right.

The successor to the throne is not any of the four princes, but the only princess, Mu Binglan.

As for the phantom rain as a colt, it is the regent.

The four princes were sentenced to imprisonment on charges of rebellion.

But this time, it was okay that only four people were imprisoned in their own mansions, and they were never allowed to take a single step.

Of course, many ministers have many objections to such an outcome.

But when the inner manager personally took out the holy decree, they naturally recognized that it was Mu Qingtian's handwriting.

In this way, they are all helpless and have to comply.

Although there has been no precedent for a woman to succeed to the throne since ancient times, isn't there still a horse master who has the means to reach the sky?

Moreover, these days, they have long regarded Phantom Rain as their backbone.

Now it is a critical period for the survival of the human race.

And if that's not enough.

There was an even more exciting news that finally made these ministers shut their mouths for the time being.

That is, when he learned that Mu Qingtian had died, Mu Binglan fell into a coma directly due to excessive sadness.

But at that time, it was found out by the imperial doctor that Mu Binglan was pregnant.

Naturally, there are different opinions about such a thing.

The vast majority of people agree that this may indeed be an omen.

In the future, once Mu Binglan gives birth to a dragon son, he will naturally inherit the throne when he becomes an adult.

In that case, everything will return to orthodoxy.

Anyway, the matter quickly settled down.

Next, it is natural to arrange Mu Qingtian's funeral.

During this period, Phantom Rain was by Mu Binglan's side almost every day.

Speaking of this, he was also unprepared, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

As for Hua Ji and Yu'er, who have been staying in the palace, they are happy at the same time, but they also seem to be a little jealous.

Mu Binglan, who was originally very sad because of Mu Qingtian's death, also tried to restrain the sadness in her heart because she was pregnant.

Half a month passed in a flash, and it was time for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

On this day, Mu Binglan was wearing a set of dragon robes, which was also full of majesty, and Phantom Yu was carefully supporting her on the side.

Today's Phantom Rain is also dressed up, although he is not wearing a dragon robe, but he is also wearing a pale gold robe.

The two slowly walked to the Golden Palace, and the ministers who had been waiting here for a long time knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Join Your Majesty, join His Royal Highness the Regent."

Mu Binglan seemed a little nervous at this time, after all, she had rarely stepped into the Golden Palace in the past, let alone ascended the throne as emperor now.

Seeing this, Phantom Yu had to whisper to reassure: "Don't worry."

After speaking, he patted Mu Binglan's hand.

With Phantom Rain's encouragement, Mu Binglan took a deep breath, and then continued to stride towards the dragon chair at the top of the list.

This time, Phantom Rain just stood quietly in place, watching Mu Binglan step by step.

In fact, Mu Qingtian would not have fallen so quickly, all of this was his own decision.

On that day, Mu Qingtian asked Phantom Rain to promise him two things.

The first of these is the hope that Phantom Rain will inherit the throne.

However, in the end, Phantom Rain did not agree, but chose to let Mu Binglan inherit the throne.

For his choice, Mu Qingtian also compromised.

Anyway, the two of them are husband and wife, and it doesn't matter who sits on this throne, in the end, this empire is still in the hands of Phantom Rain.

What's more, now that the human race is in danger, everything needs to be carried by Phantom Rain.

And the second thing is to hope that Phantom Rain will spare his four sons.

This request, Phantom Rain naturally can't refuse.

After listening to Mu Qingtian's past, he naturally understood why Mu Qingtian had not established a reserve for so many years.

Maybe he didn't want to see his son raise a butcher's knife against his brother like he did at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Phantom Rain couldn't help but sigh slowly in his heart.

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise and the sound of weapons clashing outside.

Phantom Rain immediately dispersed his soul sense, and his face immediately sank.

As for those ministers, they all looked surprised, including Mu Binglan, who had just sat on the dragon chair, was also a little puzzled.

Phantom Yu first ordered the guards of the Golden Palace to protect everyone, and then comforted Mu Binglan, and then his figure disappeared in place.

At this time, at the gate of the palace, there were four teams of men and horses fighting fiercely with the palace guards.

I saw that the four teams of people were led by the four princes who were ordered to be imprisoned, and at this moment, the faces of these four people showed a look of madness.

As the battle became more and more intense, the palace guards were gradually becoming a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, the figure of Phantom Rain appeared high in the sky, and a sky-high coercion permeated from him.

"Stand down!".

As his words fell, many people on the other side stepped back one after another.

The palace guards also retreated some distance one after another.

Phantom Rain's eyes slowly swept over the four people, and he said in a tone like ten thousand years of ice: "Are you looking for death?"

As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed that the temperature in the air had dropped a lot.

When the four of them heard this, their faces also changed slightly in fright.

However, at this moment, a loud laugh slowly came.

"Hahaha... What a big breath".

As the words fell, a figure approached quickly, stopping not far from Phantom Rain, his eyes staring at Phantom Rain with interest.

It was a young man in a brocade robe, about the same age as Phantom Rain.

As soon as this person appeared, Phantom Rain's eyes flickered.

Because he found that this person's aura was actually at the level of the Emperor Realm.

But that's about it.

It's just the Emperor Realm, it's not that he hasn't fought, not to mention that this person's aura is not very strong, and he has obviously just broken through.

So he said calmly: "Do you have an opinion?"

"Well, hehe."

The young man chuckled, and then disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, the corners of Phantom Rain's mouth showed a hint of playfulness.

Immediately, he slowly condensed his phantom power, formed a fist with one hand, and blasted out directly towards a lightning-like punch behind him.

"Bang!".

A violent collision sounded, revealing the figure of the young man,

At this time, his face was full of surprise, as if some accident Phantom Rain could find out his location.

Then he said with some surprise: "Are you also the guardian of the mainland?"
