Jing Zhen snorted coldly, knowing that this sly old fox was playing for time, yet he said, "The coronation ceremony is about to begin, and we cannot delay the matter of the Queen any longer."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Luo suggested, "Why not see which of our three families can take down Dugu Xiao today? The victor could present a Queen, how about that?"
Master Ji scoffed, "Now the palace lacks even a Princess Consort from any of our three families, and you speak of the Queen?"
Patriarch Luo, however, said, "My daughter was once Princess Consort Luo, and even though she's deceased, she can still be posthumously honored. What we aim for is just the position of the Queen. Your Majesty the King will no longer have any offspring, and in the future, our three families must unite to support the next Crown Prince. So, whose family becomes the Queen will become Her Highness the Princess' maternal relatives, will it not?"
