The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1741

Silence!

At that moment, the crowd was silent as they watched the guards take Chang Er away; one could even hear the pin if it were to drop to the ground.

Even though Yang Jian was the Grandmaster Erlang and had high status, he was still only an official. He had overstepped his authority and arrested Lady Chang Er—it was a little inappropriate.

However, Emperor Hou Yi’s death was too strange. He had carved Lady Chang Er and Zhu Bajie’s names on the jade platform before his death.

So, Yang Jian had been impartial, stern, and just when he arrested Chang Er.

“Everyone!”

Yang Jian kept his Tri-point Double-edged Saber with him as he scanned his surroundings. “Even though His Majesty is dead, the North Moana continent cannot go a day without a leader. Let’s discuss and pick a wise man to take over the throne temporarily to stabilize the situation!”

Wow!

The entire crowd erupted into a heated discussion.

Yang Jian was right. Emperor Hou Yi had ruled the North Moana continent for a few thousand years. His sudden death had thrown the entire kingdom into chaos. If they did not pick a new ruler quickly, the situation could be even more troublesome!

Emperor Hou Yi was an extremely great and powerful ruler; who could replace him, even temporarily?

Suddenly, a petite figure walked forward and knelt in front of Yang Jian. “Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Gonggong, at your service!”

Gonggong had been reluctant to acknowledge Yang Jian as the new Emperor.

However, she had no choice—Yang Jian’s powers were too strong. She was not his match, so she decided to go with the flow.

More importantly, Gonggong had her mind on Darryl’s Heavenly Halberd. If she were to support Yang Jian in his quest to become the Emperor, she would have contributed hugely to that campaign. She would have an easier time with her future tasks.

“Greetings, Your Majesty! We are at your service!”

Everyone in the cell knelt.

“Well, he is Darryl Darby—” Yang Jian started to contemplate. Then, he made a decision. He said, “Lock all the three of them with Chang Er. We will question them tomorrow at the main hall!”

Before Emperor Hou Yi died, he had carved Zhu Bajie and Chang Er’s names.

Darryl had released Zhu Bajie. So, in a way, Darryl and Chang Er were accomplices. Perhaps, Darryl had something to do with Emperor Hou Yi’s death!

If that were the case, it would be only natural to lock Darryl and Chang Er together.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

A few guards walked toward Darryl, Celine, and Queenie and tied them up.

At that moment, Darryl was almost in tears. He yelled at Yang Jian, “Grandmaster Erlang, oh, I mean, Your Majesty. I am innocent! I was just passing by. Why are you arresting me? I had nothing to do with Emperor Hou Yi’s death. It’s one thing to arrest Lady Chang Er, but why me?”

When he said that, Darryl had an innocent expression on his face, and he sounded sincere.
