Chapter 697 Stepping onto the stage

The imperial physician came quickly, but when he arrived, he saw a large crowd of people kneeling down and Wu Xian lying motionless on the ground. He knew that he was late, but he still went forward to check and finally confirmed that Wu Xian had indeed died.

However, Wu Xian was dead, and the people he brought with him were at a loss as to what to do next and how to deal with it. It was not that they did not know what to do, but that their identities were just guards in the palace, and no one was qualified to deal with Wu Xian's funeral and arrange other related matters.

"It's your turn." Wu Fan said to Wu Ya.

"I..." Wu Ya was still a little unresponsive.

"Please ask Your Highness the Princess to take charge of the situation!" Zhao Xingnian also said to Wu Ya.

If Zhao Xingnian's agreement with Wu Fan's suggestion was a little reluctant just now, then he now completely agreed with Wu Fan's words, because he found that in the huge Nanping Kingdom, except Wu Ya, no one was qualified to come out to preside over the overall situation and deal with Wu Xian's funeral under the current situation. It was impossible for their Nanping Kingdom to fall into chaos or even split, and it was impossible for Wu Xian's body to stay here forever.

So, as Wu Fan said, Wu Ya was indeed the most suitable candidate at present.

The guards and soldiers brought by Wu Xian looked at Wu Ya with complicated eyes and a little fear.

They also understood in their hearts that Wu Ya was indeed the most suitable person to come out to preside over the overall situation at present, and they were not qualified to make any arrangements, but they had just besieged Wu Ya and wanted to kill Wu Ya. If Wu Ya came out to preside over the overall situation and take power, I don't know if he would cause trouble for them because of what happened just now, arrest them or even kill them.

Therefore, they were very uneasy.

Wu Ya was still a little reluctant to accept Wu Fan's suggestion that she ascend the throne and become the emperor, but under the current circumstances, if she did not stand up, many things would indeed not be arranged, and the entire Nanping Kingdom might fall into chaos.

Thinking of this, Wu Ya straightened her face and stepped forward and said: "The imperial physician will clean up His Majesty's body and let him leave cleanly. As for you, clean up this place. At the same time, spread the news of His Majesty's death, let all the ministers in the imperial capital enter the palace, and let the people from the Ministry of Rites come to see me. I want to discuss with them the details of handling His Majesty's funeral."

"As for what happened just now, I will not pursue it."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hearing Wu Ya's words, the people at the scene seemed to have found their backbone. The confusion in their hearts just now disappeared immediately, and the people who had just participated in the siege of Wu Ya also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to do as Wu Ya arranged.

It didn't take long for the news of Wu Xian's assassination to spread throughout the imperial capital. All the ministers in the imperial capital did not dare to be negligent and entered the palace one after another. Wu Ya, as the only survivor of the royal family of Nanping, officially stepped forward. Others may not have thought of respecting Wu Ya as the emperor of Nanping, but no one had any objection to her arrangements for Wu Xian's death.

This was obviously a good start.

Wu Ya was busy dealing with Wu Xian's funeral, and Wu Fan stayed alone. After all, the emperor died, and there were many things to arrange. Wu Ya was busy now and had no time to accompany Wu Fan, so Wu Fan was relieved.

Until the sky darkened, Wu Ya had not returned yet, so Wu Fan teleported back directly.

After returning to reality, Wu Fan was busy with his several industries during the day, because he was about to go to Zhujian Villa to participate in the sword appreciation meeting. Wu Fan didn't know how long it would take to go back and forth, and things in the secular world must be arranged first.

Fortunately, whether it is Jiezhongjie, Yunzhiding, or the furniture factory, they are now on the right track. Several responsible persons are doing very well, even better than Wu Fan himself, so even if he leaves for a while, it will not have any impact.

The only thing that makes Wu Fan worried is the pharmaceutical factory. Because he was unable to invite Xu Ziqi to endorse, Wu Fan chose a second-tier star. This star is also well-known in China, but it is obviously not comparable to Xu Ziqi, and the advertising effect is naturally different. Wu Fan can only expect whitening powder and other products to gradually enter the public eye and be accepted by everyone by relying on good word of mouth.

"I don't know what's going on with Xu Ziqi." Thinking of the pharmaceutical factory, Wu Fan thought of Xu Ziqi.

When Xu Ziqi left that day, she called Wu Fan, but Wu Fan had been busy with things in the cultivator circle these days and had no time to see Xu Ziqi off.

Xu Ziqi had told Wu Fan before that after returning to the imperial capital this time, she was going to discuss the termination of the contract with the boss, but she didn't know how she talked.

Xu Ziqi seemed very confident about this matter, but Wu Fan was not very optimistic. Just as he had said to Xu Ziqi before, Xu Ziqi was the cash cow of their company, and the only cash cow. How could their company let her go easily?

While Wu Fan was thinking about Xu Ziqi, Xu Ziqi and Sister Zhao just happened to return to the company headquarters.

"Ziqi, what's the matter with you coming to the company so quickly? Talk to Sister Zhao." Sister Zhao said to Xu Ziqi as she walked.

After they came back from Jiangzhou, they dealt with some work in the capital these days. As soon as they finished their work, Xu Ziqi said she wanted to go back to the company headquarters. Generally speaking, a star of Xu Ziqi's level would not go back to the company if there was nothing special, and the company would not ask her to report every day. There was no need at all.

Therefore, Sister Zhao was a little curious about Xu Ziqi's sudden request to go back to the company.

"I have something to talk to the boss about." Xu Ziqi said as she walked.

"What can't you tell Sister Zhao? If I can't make the decision, I can help you talk to the boss." Sister Zhao said.

As the biggest card in Sister Zhao's hand, Sister Zhao hopes that she can control everything about Xu Ziqi. Only in this way can her position in the company and in this circle be stable. Therefore, Sister Zhao doesn't like Xu Ziqi to talk directly to the boss when she has something to talk about, but hopes to talk to her. If she can't make the decision, she will go to the boss instead of Xu Ziqi going directly.

"No, it's better for me to talk to the boss directly about this matter." Xu Ziqi said.

Obviously, Sister Zhao couldn't make the decision on terminating the contract with the company, and Xu Ziqi didn't want to discuss the matter through Sister Zhao, so it would be better for her to discuss it in person.
