Princess Promotion

The Emperor of Qi realized that Eunuch Wei had rebelled as early as the moment Yao Chuguang led his troops to attack.

The Emperor of Qi did not think of asking Eunuch Wei why he betrayed him and treated him like an abandoned woman.

Even if I knew the reason, what would it change?

He once thought that as long as he had the throne, he could control everything.

To do this, he was willing to sacrifice family, friendship, and even love.

In the eyes of Emperor Qi, these were merely stumbling blocks on the way to the pinnacle of power, obstacles that he had to overcome.

However, when all this really came true, he discovered what true loneliness and solitude felt like.

And at this moment, his opponent was actually his daughter, whom he had always regarded as a chess piece.

The Emperor of Qi felt mixed emotions and admitted that he had feelings for his daughter.

After all, she is his flesh and blood, and in the face of power, this feeling seems so fragile and vulnerable.

He had told himself countless times that everything was worth it for the throne.

But now, when he was really faced with the situation of losing everything, he realized that he was not so ruthless.

He watched his daughter walk towards the throne, his heart filled with contradictions and struggles. He remembered her innocent and lovely appearance as a child, and her dependence and trust in him.

Those warm memories, like a sharp knife, pierced deeply into his heart.

However, reality was cruel. Defeat was defeat, and he could not change this fact. He could only accept it silently and watch his daughter replace him as the new emperor.

The Emperor of Qi slowly stood up and walked out of the hall with a staggering gait.

The sunlight shone on him, warm and dazzling.

He took a deep breath and turned around to see Yao Chuguang still holding Eunuch Wei and acting.

He even saw that the old man, Eunuch Wei, was secretly supporting his body with his hands so that everyone could clearly see the dagger behind him.

At this moment, Emperor Qi felt that the scene was so irritating that he couldn't stand it for even a second.

Yao Chuguangjue's performance was almost over, and now that the situation outside was under control, he sent all the ministers back home.

The ministers have been trapped in the hall for a full half month.

During this period, they not only had to endure the torment of fear and anxiety, but were also forced by Yao Chuguang to review memorials and handle official documents.

Every day when they open their eyes, they have to face mountains of official documents, which they have to review, revise and sign constantly.

Their fingers became stiff from writing for a long time, and their eyes were bloodshot from excessive fatigue.

In such an environment, the ministers suffered great physical and mental torture.

Today, Yao Chuguang announced the release of all ministers so that they can return home.

The ministers were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, just like prisoners who had been released from prison and were reborn.

The moment they walked out of the hall, the warm sunshine shone on them, and they felt the long-lost comfort and pleasure.

Just when the ministers were overjoyed and thought they could finally escape from this devil's den, Lin Wan suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

Lin Wan's gaze was sharp and cold. After scanning the area, he slowly spoke, "My Lords, I know you are all very happy to be leaving here. However, I hope you will remember one thing: everything that happens in this hall must not be leaked to anyone."

After hearing Lin Wan's words, the excitement of the ministers was instantly extinguished.

They looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Some people began to feel uneasy, worried that Lin Wan would do something terrible; some tried to resist, believing that Lin Wan had no right to restrict their freedom of speech.

However, Lin Wan ignored the ministers' reactions. She continued, "I know some of you might be hoping for the best, thinking that even if you leak the secrets, it won't be discovered. But I want to tell you, if anyone does, I will absolutely investigate."

Lin Wan's eyes swept across everyone's face, as if she wanted to see through their thoughts. The ministers were frightened by her gaze and lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze.

"If someone leaks the secret and I don't catch that person, then forget it. But if I catch you, you should know what the consequences will be." Lin Wan's voice became even colder, making the ministers feel a chill.

She paused, then continued, "So, I advise you, gentlemen, not to challenge my patience and ability. You can try to see if I can find the leaker."

After saying that, Lin Wan turned and left, leaving the ministers standing there in a daze.

They knew that Lin Wan's words were not groundless, and she really had the ability to track down the leaker and impose severe punishment.

Yao Chuguang glanced at Lin Wan's domineering attitude and couldn't help but teasing him, "You looked like a traitor just now!"

When Lin Wan heard this, he chuckled and said, "I just learned this from you."

Yao Chuguang thought about it and realized that it was true. She was a traitor, and it was obvious that the intelligence chief Lin Wan was not a good person.

No matter how you look at it, this combination of them is a villain alliance.
