Regarding the matter of establishing a queen, to Zhou Ming's expectation, he didn't say anything. The ministers and nobles collectively pointed their finger at Prince Elsa.

He said that anyone can be chosen as queen, except Elsa.

Why?

"Why can't I choose Elsa? Can you please tell me the reason?" Zhou Ming asked. He wanted to know the answer to this question.

Immediately, several ministers gritted their teeth and gave their explanations:

"Your Majesty, you haven't had a concubine until now, and it's all because of this vicious woman! The dozen or so withdrawal actions she conducted have forcibly taken countless women who loved His Majesty away from His Majesty, and this has led to How many human tragedies have we caused? How many women have become ill and died because of missing His Majesty? Your Majesty, this woman has committed a heinous crime and deserves death!"

"That's right, if this woman hadn't been there to hinder and seduce His Majesty, Your Majesty would have established a queen and taken in several concubines eight years ago. It was this woman who was deliberately stalling for time, trying to achieve an ulterior purpose, so that she could occupy Your Majesty alone. Ah! Your Majesty, please kill Prince Elsa, this matter cannot be delayed!"

"Your Majesty, the Lucis family should have been exterminated a long time ago! But this woman took advantage of Your Majesty's kindness to save her own family. She also tried every means to come to the imperial capital to prevent His Majesty from having a wife and concubines, and deliberately tempted His Majesty to obey her words. The harem Countless beauties in the house were driven away by this poisonous woman, so that no one came close to His Majesty and could not guide His Majesty to the right path...Elsa!"

The minister pointed angrily at Elsa and said, "Had I known this would happen, I should have sent assassins back then to kill you on the way to the imperial capital!"

"Your Majesty, I can't stand it anymore. Elsa is a bitch. Your Majesty, please kill her immediately! Otherwise, I will crash to death in the palace!"

"That's right! Your Majesty, either Elsa will die today or we will die!" More ministers agreed.

The ministers and nobles hated Elsa so much that they not only did not want her to become queen, but also requested that she be killed.

Ministers have made such requests at least hundreds of times in the past few years. Zhou Ming has long been accustomed to this request, but it was especially intense today.

Elsa, who was standing in the front row, didn't pay much attention to these voices calling for death, but the voices that opposed her being appointed queen made her face blush, which was difficult to dissipate, and had a unique charm.

"enough!"

"Stop making unreasonable noises and shut up!"

Zhou Ming roared and silenced the ministers.

He said with an ugly face: "How many times have I told you that the things Elsa did were what I asked her to do. She just acted according to my will. Why are you so hesitant? Are you going to accuse me right away? Isn’t it?”

"Your Majesty, we don't mean this. The Lucis family behind Prince Elsa has betrayed the empire many times. After returning to the imperial capital, they stopped doing business, violated human ethics, and prevented your majesty from getting married every day. Prince Elsa has no idea in her heart. I'll kill you if you don't believe it! The reason why this woman works so hard is because she obeys His Majesty's words on the surface, but in fact she has a hidden agenda and is eyeing the position of Queen!"

"Your Majesty, it is because I have seen through Prince Elsa's mind that I tried my best to stop him! This huge empire must not allow this woman to sit next to Your Majesty. Otherwise, the harm will be endless and hundreds of millions of people will suffer. , everyone will suffer and fall into fire and water!"

Prime Minister Zangwill tried his best to advise.

Other ministers quickly echoed: "Your Majesty, Elsa is a temptress. It is not appropriate for her to be a queen. Kill her immediately!"

After hearing the reasons given by the ministers, Zhou Ming pondered for a while.

Then his heart moved and he asked Elsa below: "Prince Elsa, is what the Prime Minister said true? Do you really want to be a queen, so you work so hard for me?"

Hear this question.

Elsa's face turned pale and she quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is a frame-up by the ministers. I never have that kind of intention. I swear, I have never had the slightest illusion!"

"But you are already 30 years old and have not married yet. I have urged you several times. Why don't you get married?" Zhou Ming asked again.

Seeing that Zhou Ming's finger seemed to be pointed at Elsa, His Highness's ministers were immediately overjoyed, and some even helped Elsa answer.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Elsa has not married yet is because she has illusions and is still waiting to take over Your Majesty!" the minister said.

"Elsa, is what he said true?" Zhou Ming asked.

"No, I don't have such thoughts, Your Majesty! I haven't married yet because I want to serve the family wholeheartedly and spend my whole life leading the Lucis family to glory. I have no other ideas!"

Elsa quickly explained, acting very flustered.

"Lying, Your Majesty, she is lying!"

"As a woman, who can resist marrying? Elsa, you are thirty years old, haven't you ever thought about a man?"

"What is the conflict between whether to marry or not, and leading the family to become stronger?"

"This is simply an excuse. Your Majesty, don't believe this woman! Privately, this woman has wanted to lie on His Majesty's bed countless times!"

Hear these ugly words.

Elsa was about to cry: "No, I really didn't!"

"Your Majesty, look at her being so flustered and nervous, it means that's the case!"

"Stop denying Elsa. If you don't like His Majesty, I will chop off your head!"

"Hmph! You bitch, if you don't have illusions, how can you win His Majesty's trust by offending all the ministers and nobles? If you lose His Majesty's trust, your Lucis family will never be glorious again. , I’m afraid it has been destroyed hundreds of times!”

"You must say that you have no wrong intentions, but when you return batch after batch of harem beauties who are more beautiful than you, on the one hand you are jealous of their youth and beauty; on the other hand, you are also pushing yourself to a dead end. Because once you lose His Majesty's trust, even if the Lucis family is destroyed, you will not dare to marry anyone else. Once you marry, you may also lose His Majesty's favor... So you can only go further and further on the road of obeying His Majesty. , until we ascend to the position of queen, the Lucis family will be safe!"

"So for you, you either don't get married, or you can only marry His Majesty. There is no other choice!"

"Am I right, Prince Elsa?"

The minister named Thorndike's analysis and heart-breaking questions not only made Elsa pale and speechless, but also Zhou Ming, who was sitting at the top, nodded slightly.

He couldn't help but said: "What Mr. Thorndike said seems to make some sense."

All the ministers were ecstatic.

A minister said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you finally understand. Now you should know that this woman Elsa should be killed!"

"Woooooo~"

Elsa was about to collapse. She cried loudly and said to Zhou Ming: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, I will die to make it clear. I am absolutely innocent to Your Majesty!"

As she said that, she was about to hit her head against a certain pillar.

But an invisible force pulled her and stopped her in place.

Zhou Ming took action to stop her.

"Elsa, don't be impulsive yet, I still have something to say!"

"Your Majesty, just let the ministers kill me and stop defending me!"

Elsa felt extremely wronged and despaired.

"How about this, Elsa, I ask you a few questions, and you answer yes or no, and don't hide your inner feelings?" Zhou Ming asked softly.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty." Elsa wiped the corners of her eyes.

"First of all, you did not shirk the return tasks that I arranged for you. Instead, you completed them all perfectly. Is it because you want to win my trust and let me support the Lucis family more that you are willing to take the risk and accept them all?"

"Yes." Elsa nodded without denying.

"Secondly, you are thirty years old and have not married yet. I have told you several times to urge you to get married early, but you have not listened. You have been single all this time. On the one hand, you are devoted to serving the family and do not want to get married. On the other hand, is there some of my factors that are causing you trouble?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"Uh...yes!" After hesitating for two seconds, Elsa nodded in agreement.

"Finally, I want to ask you, what do you think of me as a person? From the perspective of an ordinary woman, if you were asked to choose a partner, would you think that my conditions are not bad, and would you want to be with me? "

"this……"

Facing this question, Elsa hesitated longer and her face turned red, but she still nodded honestly and said, "Yes!"

"bing~"

Zhou Ming snapped his fingers and said: "That's right, Elsa, the ministers did not misunderstand you, and I also confirm: you should like me a little bit."

As soon as these words came out!

The ministers cheered!

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, are we right? Elsa just likes you!"

"Your Majesty, Elsa's crime is confirmed, kill her quickly!"

"Haha, Elsa, no one can save you now, just plead guilty!"

"We won, we won, His Majesty is still so wise, he saw through Elsa's true face at a glance!"

Elsa's face was pale, her body was shaking violently, and her heart was filled with despair.

However!

Zhou Ming's next words instantly caused the entire hall to fall into a dead silence.

"Why should I kill Elsa?"

"Elsa likes me. It's not a sin to like me. Why should I kill her?"

"On the contrary, in order to protect her innocence, I can only marry Elsa and make her queen. Otherwise, how will she see anyone in the future? I can only choose to commit suicide."

"Elsa is loyal. I can't let her lose her life. I can only marry her to stop the criticism in the world."

Click!

Time seemed to have stopped flowing.

The smiles on the faces of all the ministers and nobles suddenly solidified on their faces.

Some ministers' open mouths were stuck and could not be closed.

Elsa, who was originally heartbroken, was now completely stunned.
