Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Lin Zining opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared closely at the group of important court officials in front of her.

They all held their heads high, spoke eloquently, and talked about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but they had no respect for the queen, the mother of a country.

Without understanding the ins and outs of the matter and the causes and consequences, she spoke recklessly and wantonly, maliciously slandering and accusing her beloved mother.

Even if some young and sensible officials stood up to defend her mother, they would be immediately attacked and criticized by these people. Their words were fierce and merciless, as if they wanted to knock down all those who dared to uphold justice.

Looking at the faces in front of her that had become distorted and ugly due to anger and prejudice, Lin Zining felt very disappointed.

She originally thought that the high-ranking officials in the court were all good officials who were sensible, aware of the big picture, cared about the people of the world, and put the welfare of the country and the people first.

But now it seems that my thoughts were so naive and ridiculous!

The people in front of her were nothing but a bunch of mediocre people who only knew how to go with the flow, follow the crowd, and were blinded by greed!

"Shut up, Princess!"

Lin Zining shouted angrily, and the sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the court. In an instant, the originally noisy court became silent.

“You guys…”

Just when Lin Zining was about to continue cursing, a gentle but disarming voice suddenly came.

"Ning'er!"

Lin Zining looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Yuexi at the top of the table shaking her head slightly, signaling her with her eyes not to be impulsive.

After Lin Zining and Xu Yuexi exchanged a glance, the anger in her heart subsided a little, but she was still angry. She glared at the ministers fiercely, and then stood back to her seat angrily.

Humph, these old guys, just wait, at night she will go to their houses one by one, put sacks on them and give them a good beating.

Xu Yuexi saw Lin Zining's angry look, just like a kitten with its fur standing on end, and couldn't help laughing in her heart. She knew Lin Zining too well, and she could guess what she was thinking by looking at her expression and posture at this moment.

Xu Yuexi gently raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Looking at the childish child in front of her, her eyes were filled with both doting and helplessness.

After all, at Lin Zining's current age, she still retains the innocent and spontaneous nature of a child. However, Xu Yuexi also knows that if she wants Lin Zining to truly grow up, she will have to go through more hardships in the future. This is why she wants to send Lin Zining back to China.

After stopping Lin Zining, Xu Yuexi then turned his cold eyes straight towards the group of ministers standing in the court and taking advantage of their seniority.

"My dear ministers, you have been talking for so long, I'm sure you must be thirsty! Why don't you take a break and enjoy the wonderful show that I have specially prepared for you?"

After saying that, Xu Yuexi clapped her hands gently.

There was a sound of orderly and heavy footsteps coming from outside the hall. Soon, several burly guards came in, escorting a haggard man.

This person was Jiang An. He was wearing a tattered prison uniform and his hands and feet were bound with iron chains. But even so, his posture was still as straight as a pine tree and he showed no fear at all.

Looking at Jiang An's expression, Xu Yuexi showed a mocking smile. She just liked to break people's pride! She hoped that he could still be so arrogant later.

"How dare you, Jiang An, not even bowing when you see the Queen!" Lou Yi shouted.

"She is the murderer of my daughter. How can I kneel before her?"

"You murderer, you are a demon queen......"

Jiang An's eyes were wide open and he pointed at Xu Yuexi and started cursing.

That's his daughter, his only bloodline and his only offspring in this world.

And now, Xu Yuexi made him have no offspring, how could he not be angry? This hatred, like a blazing fire, burned his heart, making him want to chop this heart-breaking woman into pieces.

Xu Yuexi ignored Jiang An's abuse and nodded to Lou. Lou understood and shouted, "Bring it up!"

After a while, Jiang Hongyan's body was carried up by four guards.

"Jiang An, your daughter is right here. Do you want to see with your own eyes how tragically she died?" Xu Yuexi said mercilessly.

When Jiang An heard this, his body shook violently. He opened his eyes wide and rushed towards the corpse. When he lifted the white cloth with trembling hands and saw Jiang Hongyan's already stiff body, he immediately burst into sad tears.

"Why did you kill her? Why did you kill her? She is a woman!"

How could Jiang An still have the proud look he had just now?

Xu Yuexi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why did you kill her? Jiang An, don't you know? She died because of you!"

Jiang An raised his tear-stained face, his eyes full of resentment.

"You are talking nonsense, how could I harm my own daughter?

It was you! You, the vicious and venomous queen, killed her!

Because of your narrow and dirty jealousy, you can't bear to see my daughter being favored and loved by the emperor.

So when you came back and happened to see her with the emperor, you became malicious and brutally killed my daughter to vent your anger! Not only that, you also poisoned the emperor in a frenzy!

Poor my daughter, she is just an ordinary, gentle and kind woman, how can she be a match for you, the evil queen? You tortured her to death so cruelly, don't you feel guilty? "

When the ministers heard this, there was an uproar.

"What nonsense! How dare you, old man, slander my mother? I will..."

After hearing what Jiang An said, Lin Zining became furious. She had long forgotten her previous promise to Xu Yuexi. She lifted her skirt and prepared to rush up to beat Jiang An up.

"Ning'er, go back!" Xu Yuexi immediately spoke out to stop her.

The real mastermind has not come out yet, Xu Yuexi doesn't want Lin Zining to ruin her plan. Let these people scold her, it doesn't hurt her anyway, she will settle accounts with them after this matter is resolved.

Under Xu Yuexi's warning gaze, Lin Zining let down her skirt and walked back obediently.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Xu Yuexi yelled at the group of ministers who believed everything they heard, then looked at Jiang An coldly with an indescribably cold tone.

"Jiang An, you are quite courageous. You still want to spit blood at the critical moment. Do you really think that what you and your daughter did was perfect?"

Xu Yuexi waved her hand, and a servant presented the secret letter and physical evidence.

Lou Yi read the secret letters one by one.

The ministers looked at each other, and those who had been speaking so confidently just now were now silent.

Lin Zining looked at the ministers and said, "You believed one-sided words and slandered my mother. Now you are slapped in the face!"

The ministers bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Xu Yuexi looked coldly at Jiang An who was in great grief, and said mercilessly:

"Jiang An, according to the laws of this dynasty, those who plot treason shall be executed along with their entire clan! So what if she is a woman? Wasn't it wrong for me to kill her? If you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself.

Since ancient times, an official cannot serve two masters!

But you betrayed your old master, joined the new master, and even helped the new master murder his own monarch.

In this case, from the moment you do such an unfaithful and unjust thing, you should be clear about the consequences that await you.

Now, you are here pretending to cry and acting like a loving father. Who are you acting for?

Do you think that you can win the sympathy and pity of others by doing this, and want to arouse the anger of the ministers, so as to drive me off the throne and let your new master take the throne? I tell you, you are just daydreaming!

Now that things have come to this, I can give you a chance. As long as you tell me who your new master is, I will give you a quick death. How about that? "

When Jiang An heard Xu Yuexi's words, his body froze and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. But soon, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't betray the emperor. You framed me."

"A tough guy."

Xu Yuexi sneered and turned to instruct the guards.

"Torture him until he confesses. In front of everyone, let everyone see what happens to those who dare to betray the emperor and murder him."

The guard received the order and was about to step forward. At this moment, Jiang An suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha... Demon Queen, your good days are over!"

Everyone was stunned!

Xu Yuexi pretended to be flustered and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang An said sinisterly: "Haha, this palace is about to change. So what if you are a goddess, a more powerful immortal is coming!"

Before he could finish his words, shouts and screams suddenly rang out outside.
