With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Xiao Qianqian returned to Fengqi Palace, still confused, [Tongzi, what's going on? How come your speed of eating melons can't keep up with the speed of my father beheading and confiscating his property? ]

[Uh, this,] The system is also helpless, [No, I'm wondering too, have the efficiency of the Lin family's secret guards always been so high? ]

Lin Si and Lin Jiu, who were following Emperor Mingde, looked at each other proudly. Humph, anyone who dared to mess with their little princess must be tired of living.

Let those people see the true strength of the Lin family's secret guards. Haha, they are overestimating themselves.

The most senior royal relatives, the two princes who had sat firmly on the throne for decades, and the king of a different surname who had made outstanding contributions, all ended up with their three clans being punished as a result of a trip to the imperial study.

There was another long period of bloody turmoil in the capital, which made the civil and military officials in the court more in awe of Emperor Mingde.

Since when, Emperor Mingde's reputation as a tyrant has become increasingly well-known.

Some people, no matter what the truth is, don't care what crimes those who robbed their families and exterminated their clans have committed.

They only know that if one lips is gone, the other teeth will be in trouble. Now, not only are their own interests damaged, but there is also the risk of being caught for what they did in the past. They dare not take the risk.

With the help of people who spread the word, no one in the capital city could avoid referring to Emperor Mingde as "tyrant".

When the queen received the report from the secret guard, her brows slightly frowned.

She took the intelligence from various places in the capital, thought for a long time, and finally made up her mind and ordered, "Send someone to contact the students of the three major academies and guide them to spread the twelve words 'no marriage, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute'."

She paused, "I want these twelve words to spread throughout Daxia, and I want all the people of Daxia to know that these twelve words came from the mouth of Emperor Mingde."

"Yes."

The secret guard took the order and left. The queen breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, she was still worried about that monster.

"Your Majesty," Lu Qiao came to report, "Xiao Yan from the Lian Palace and Ouyang Nanxin from the Luozhou Palace are waiting outside the palace."

The Queen nodded, "Where's the money?"

Lu Qiao immediately smiled and said, "The little princess fell asleep after feeding just now. I'll go check on her and she should be awake by now."

A moment later, Xiao Yan and Ouyang Nanxin saw the Queen holding the little princess, and they bowed respectfully.

Xiao Qianqian had a good sleep after eating and drinking her fill. She was now very energetic. [Ah, two more pretty girls came. Is the one with a high ponytail and a red dress Xiao Yan? ]

The system immediately replied, [Yes, the one in blue is Ouyang Nanxin.]

[Little Princess,] the system immediately gossiped, [that Xiao Yan is quite powerful. She has trained hundreds of powerful female guards. She is not only a martial arts genius, but also a genius in military tactics.]

[Oh? That's great. What about Ouyang Nanxin? ]

[Uh,] The system hesitated, [She, she, she really likes to play with poisons, and she has a lot of good-looking boys and girls in her house. This person really likes to have fun.]

[However,] the system quickly made up for it, [Although this girl played around, she had a bottom line. She never forced anyone and never tried poison on anyone.]

The queen was speechless as she looked at Ouyang Nanxin, who was kneeling upright below her in a beautiful dress with a well-behaved face.

King Ouyang Qin of Luozhou was a playboy when he was young, and it seems his daughter is no less so.

However, this girl is good at making drugs?

"Stand up," the queen asked the two girls to stand up and gave them a seat. "I heard that Princess Nanxin is good at making poison?"

Ouyang Nanxin clenched her fingers. Even her father didn't know about this, so how did the Queen know?

She put away her contempt and thought for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, I just have nothing to do on weekdays, so I just want to have some fun."

The Queen looked at her with a half-smile, as if remembering something and asked tentatively, "Do you know Feng Qingqing from Feng Imperial Physician's family?"

Feng Qingqing?

Ouyang Nanxin's eyelids twitched, but the system was delighted. [Hahaha, little princess, your mother is amazing. How did she know that these two people had a dispute? ]

[Conflict?] Xiao Qianqian kicked her short legs in her mother's arms. The queen couldn't hold her any longer, so she had to put her on the couch beside her. She immediately threw herself on the snoring Erdan, [What conflict?]

The system was mysterious. [Little princess, do you know? Although Ouyang Nanxin is the daughter of the King of Luozhou, she has hardly been to her fiefdom many times since she was a child. She grew up in the capital.]

[When she was ten years old, she met Feng Qingqing at a flower viewing banquet at the Prime Minister's residence, and became good friends with her. Later, she confessed to Feng Qingqing that she wanted to marry her.]

【Ah,】 Xiao Qianqian laughed when he heard that, 【And then?】

[Of course Feng Qingqing was frightened, and the two of them didn't hang out together much afterwards. One of them studied medicine, while the other studied poisons. The two of them didn't get along and quarreled whenever they met.]

【Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pair of bickering lovers. 】

Queen...

She looked at her daughter worriedly, why did this girl act like an old woman? Then she looked at the well-behaved Ouyang Nanxin, thinking that one should not judge a person by his appearance.

Thinking of something, she smiled mischievously, "I have some tasks for Princess Nan Xin, would you be willing to go to Xiliang?"

Before meeting Ouyang Nanxin and Xiao Yan, she had already thoroughly investigated their past as well as the King of Luozhou and the King of Lian.

Although these two have some small tricks, they are harmless and have not done anything harmful to the world. Prince Lian and Ouyang Qin are relatively honest and upright.

"Xiliang?"

Ouyang Nanxin was a little confused. She didn't know what the Queen wanted her to do in Xiliang, so she could only lower her eyes and listen carefully.

"First," the queen smiled maliciously, "you have to go find Feng Qingqing first. She will tell you what to do in Xiliang."

"What?"

The rough voice scared Xiao Qianqian who was playing with Erdan's ears, and Fengqi Palace became quiet in an instant.

Xiao Yan stroked her forehead with a twitching mouth. You stupid girl, I told you not to pinch it, so what's wrong with a rough voice? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you're exposed now?

Ouyang Nanxin didn't bother to disguise her voice and asked in a rough voice, "Empress, you want me to find Feng Qingqing? What do you want to find her for? She and I, and her,"

Oh my God, the queen’s eyes widened. Did this girl’s voice become so bad because she eats stones all day?

Thinking back to the girl's sweet and soft voice, she silently touched her throat.

No, how did she make the voice so different?

Someone tugged at her sleeve, and Ouyang Nanxin met Xiao Yan's lifeless face. After a moment's reaction, she reached out to touch her throat. Her snow-white and well-behaved smiling face turned red in an instant.

She gave the queen an apologetic smile, and the queen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, funny, Princess Ouyang is really funny, hahahahaha."

In an instant, the atmosphere in Fengqi Palace became joyful. Ouyang Nanxin's face turned even redder, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
