Chapter 318 - 316 Demon Star in Turmoil_1
"The constellations revolve around the Earth, the Big Dipper shifts position, the Demon Star brings chaos to the world, the Female Constellation Star shines brightly, while the Emperor Stars dim..."
In Chongming Country, atop the Star-gazing Platform.
The lean-faced State Preceptor, over forty years old, gazed up at the stars crowding the night sky, his eyebrows deeply furrowed as he muttered to himself, "The world is in great turmoil, women are acting beyond their authority—it really is the omen of ’women acting beyond their authority’. But who? Who is the Demon Star beside the Fourth Princess? Who has the power to uplift the Female Constellation Star? In the past, it was only ever the warrior stars lifting the Emperor Star, why is it a Demon Star this time..."
After another glance at the sky, looking at that Demon Star, even brighter than the Female Constellation Star, the State Preceptor turned and hurried down from the Star-gazing Platform, heading straight for the imperial palace.
...
In the imperial palace, the Royal Study.
A teacup smashed into pieces on the floor.
Emperor Gu Shicun of Chongming Country was in the midst of a thunderous rage, "...no need to wait, issue a warrant, nationwide. This Luo Shuang is a disaster. What is she doing resurrecting Qingwu Country and throwing my Chongming Country into chaos? And you, Shi Pingchuan, why did you promise, without authorization, to help Luo Shuang restore her country? Could it be that the Prime Minister desires to overstep his authority into military power?"
On the side.
Prince Gu Shiming, bearing some resemblance to Gu Shicun, glanced at Shi Pingchuan with a flicker of almost imperceptible scorn at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, please temper your Wrath of Thunder," the Prime Minister Shi Pingchuan stepped forward calmly, "Your Majesty, I have never considered overstepping into military affairs. My promise to Luo Shuang is in connection with the matter of the Heavenly Demon mentioned earlier.
Luo Shuang is but a woman, without soldiers or generals, and poses no significant threat. The true danger lies with the Heavenly Demons scattered throughout Chongming Country. I intend to use Luo Shuang as bait to draw out the hidden demons, and when they show themselves, we will capture them all in one fell swoop."
