Chapter 948 - 441: Steadfast Zhi Yan! Slap in the face of Dragon Shrine!
"Your Highness Princess, Suo Lun is indeed not suitable to be a ruler of a kingdom, is he?" Priest Yan Ping remarked indifferently: "He acts too impulsively, and is swayed by his emotions. Just ascending to the throne, he could hardly wait to move against Marquis FuE, giving off the impression of the nouveau-rich."
Yan Ping was mocking Suo Lun for being a political upstart.
Zhi Yan Princess cast her eyes down and said, "You say to abandon Suo Lun, but how exactly?"
Yan Ping replied, "That would depend on Your Highness’s will; history is replete with such instances."
"You mean to say that my Zhi Family would truly become the kind that once outlived their usefulness, would be discarded?" Zhi Yan inquired.
Yan Ping said, "Without the casting aside, how can one be a true sovereign?"
Zhi Yan Princess replied, "Must I really choose between the Dragon Temple and Suo Lun?"
"Yes, you can only choose one." Yan Ping said, "This is also the will of Holy Priest Ge Li and Chief Judge Luo Ge."
Zhi Yan Princess stood up and said, "Alright, I understand. You may leave now, Priest Yan Ping."
Yan Ping was taken aback and said, "Your Highness, have you already made your choice? That would be for the best, I shall immediately report back to Lord Ge Li."
Zhi Yan Princess looked at Yan Ping and said word by word, "It is certainly a great honor to be crowned by a priest of the skies. But all honors are superficial; losing face only makes one look bad but at least it does not kill! Suo Lun, my husband, is my greatest support. Without him, what do I have to govern the kingdom? Do you think that for the honor of a coronation by a sky priest, I would tear down my own defenses? Do you see me, Zhi Yan, as such an imbecilic woman in your eyes?"
