OBS Chapter 146 The Excited Bitter Lotus
Chapter 146 The Excited Bitter Lotus
They knew of Ye Qingmei's greatness! Her deeds had already deeply penetrated people's hearts through various storytelling, operas, and even the "biographies" secretly disseminated by the Overwatch Council! She was a symbol of light and an embodiment of hope!
And now, her son has inherited her will and possesses even greater divine power than she did. He has established a new dynasty and brought her back to life. This is truly a divine mandate! It is the greatest blessing that Heaven has bestowed upon this land!
Sitting on the imperial carriage, Ye Qingmei looked down at the faces flushed with excitement, listened to the heartfelt shouts of "Long live the Emperor!", and felt the pure power of faith and the will of the people. Even her bright eyes, which had long seen through the vicissitudes of life, couldn't help but be moved.
She reached out and gently waved to the enthusiastic crowd, a radiant and satisfied smile she had never shown before. In that moment, she seemed to return to her younger self, to the spirited Ye Qingmei who wanted to change the world. Only this time, she was no longer fighting alone; beside her stood a son, stronger than herself and even more of a source of pride!
Looking at the genuine smile on his mother's face beside him, and the magnificent scene of thousands of people worshipping below, Ye Tian felt a surge of pride in his heart!
He knew that from this moment on, his Great Qin Dynasty had truly established its most solid foundation on this land!
He and his mother, Ye Qingmei, will also receive the supreme support and love of the Great Qin Empire and even the people of the entire world in the future!
···········
After receiving the homage of the officials and the deafening cheers of "Long live the Emperor" from the people, Ye Tian, along with his mother Ye Qingmei, Wu Zhu, and others, returned to the Ziji Hall, which is now the Qin Imperial Palace.
He stood in the plaza before the palace, hands clasped behind his back, his eyes gleaming with divine light. He quietly activated a secret technique he had obtained from the system's daily check-in system but had never used easily before—the Aura Observation Technique!
This technique allows one to observe the celestial and terrestrial fortunes, discern the rise and fall of dynasties, and predict the longevity of a nation.
In Ye Tian's eyes, the sky above the entire capital of the Great Qin Dynasty (formerly the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty) was now filled with rising purple energy, surging like a tide, faintly converging into a colossal, majestic, and imposing purple-gold dragon of fortune! The dragon coiled and roared, stirring up the winds and clouds of the heavens, while countless tiny golden energies gathered from all directions, from above the heads of every citizen of the Great Qin Dynasty, continuously merging into the dragon's body, making its form increasingly solid and its aura increasingly powerful!
"Hahaha! Excellent! What a magnificent 'Auspicious Purple Qi Comes from the East, Dragons Roar in the Nine Heavens'! What a magnificent 'The People's Hearts Are With Us, and the Nation Prospers'!" Upon seeing this scene, Ye Tian was filled with boundless pride and excitement!
"Mother, look!" He pointed to the divine dragon of destiny, invisible to ordinary people, and excitedly said to Ye Qingmei beside him, "Since the founding of our Great Qin, the hearts of the people have been with us, and the destiny has been ours! Now, the national destiny of our Great Qin has condensed and taken shape, transforming into this purple-gold divine dragon, suppressing all directions! With such a magnificent national destiny as our blessing, how can our Great Qin not unify the world and be immortal for ten thousand generations?! The fate of the Qing Kingdom, which was usurped by that old scoundrel Emperor Qing, has run its course!"
Although Ye Qingmei could not see the so-called dragon of destiny, she could clearly feel that since Ye Tian ascended the throne and established the Great Qin Dynasty, the oppressive, dull, and even slightly decaying atmosphere that had permeated this land was dissipating at a visible speed. In its place was a brand new, vibrant, and hopeful "momentum" that was rising high!
She knew that her son was ushering in a great era unlike any other!
The latest update is now available on Cola Novels, waiting for your interpretation.
Just as Ye Tian was overjoyed at the convergence of the Great Qin's national fortune, Ku He, the former Grand Preceptor of Northern Qi, and Xiao En, the former head of Northern Qi's intelligence agency, both of whom had a deep connection with Ye Qingmei, were also deeply moved upon hearing the news that Ye Qingmei had "come back to life" and was being honored as the "Holy Mother Empress Dowager Protector of the Great Qin."
Ignoring their physical injuries and the grief of losing their country, they immediately came together to request an audience with Ye Qingmei and Ye Tian.
Inside the Imperial Study, Ye Qingmei, supported by Ye Tian, sat on the phoenix throne (which Ye Tian had specially crafted for her, placed alongside the dragon throne to show respect), while Wu Zhu stood behind her like the most loyal shadow.
As soon as Ku He and Sean entered the study, they immediately prostrated themselves before Ye Qingmei with a loud "plop," their voices choked with emotion and filled with boundless excitement and gratitude.
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Your humble servant (this old monk) kowtows to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!
"I have come to pay my respects to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, wishing you eternal bliss and boundless longevity!" Ku He's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "If it weren't for Your Majesty's guidance outside the temple, bestowing upon me that supreme martial arts manual, I would never have achieved my status as a Grandmaster today. Northern Wei (the predecessor of Northern Qi) would likely have long since vanished into nothingness in that chaotic world. This life-saving grace will never be forgotten by me or the millions of people of Northern Qi! To be able to see Your Majesty's radiant face again today and receive your teachings is truly an unparalleled blessing, accumulated over three lifetimes!"
Sean, also with tears streaming down his face, said in a hoarse voice, "This sinful subject, Sean, pays his respects to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager! May Your Majesty be well! Back then in the bitter cold of the far north, if it weren't for the miraculous elixir bestowed upon me by Your Majesty, I would have long since turned to dust. How could I be alive today? Your Majesty not only saved my lowly life, but also made me understand what it truly means to be 'human,' and what the meaning of life is! Such immense kindness and virtue, even if I were to give my life, I could never repay! To see Your Majesty again today, I have no regrets even in death!"
The two spoke earnestly and sincerely, clearly remembering Ye Qingmei's kindness in helping them back then and feeling deeply grateful.
Ye Qingmei looked at the two elderly people with white hair kneeling below, her heart filled with emotion. She extended her delicate hand to help them up, and said gently, "Hehe, please rise, you two. What happened back then was just a small favor, a mere twist of fate between us. I never imagined that after nearly twenty years apart, with the world changing so much, we would be able to reunite here in the Qin Imperial Palace. Truly, fate is unpredictable."
After Ku He and Sean shakily got up and sat down, Ye Qingmei looked at them with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Speaking of which, after I parted ways with you outside the temple, I never returned to the North."
"And how did you two, with the little I gave you, later establish the Northern Qi dynasty and both become outstanding figures of your time? Also, did you ever revisit that temple? How much do you know about that place?"
Upon hearing Ye Qingmei inquire about the temple, both Ku He and Xiao En perked up, their eyes filled with a mixture of longing for the unknown and a deep sense of apprehension.
Master Kuhe spoke first, his voice filled with endless awe and confusion: "Your Majesty, after you left without saying goodbye, my brother Xiao En and I made great progress in our cultivation thanks to the secret manuals and elixirs you bestowed upon us. By chance, we gathered a group of virtuous and righteous people in the chaotic world of the North and established the Northern Wei, which later evolved into the Northern Qi."
"And you must know, over the years, this old monk and Brother Sean have been constantly grateful for your kindness, and have sent people to the far north several times to try to find traces of the temple, hoping to see you again and hear your teachings. Unfortunately, the temple seems to be isolated from the world, elusive and untraceable; we mortals, no matter how hard we try, can never get even a fraction closer to it."
