At this time in the palace, Lin Yun led the central army and arrived outside the palace gate.

In the Golden Palace, the Crown Prince couldn't wait to sit on the throne and summoned the ministers, waiting for the news of the Prime Minister's destruction.

A guard came running and crawling in: "Report..."

The prince stood up suddenly and asked, "What's the matter? Can't we take down the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The general reported, "Lin Yun is leading a large army and attacking the palace gate."

When the prince and the queen heard this, they were both shocked.

The queen hurriedly asked, "When did Lin Yun come?"

The general said: "I don't know..."

At this time, the gate of the palace had been breached, and Lin Yun, protected by Zixia and Qingxia, led the central army and rushed in.

In the main hall, everyone could hear the shouts of the soldiers rushing outside, and all the civil and military officials looked pale.

The queen hurried to the door of the hall.

Lin Yun, along with Zixia and Qingxia, quickly climbed the stairs and arrived at the entrance of the hall.

The Queen shouted at Lin Yun, "Lin Yun, without His Majesty's order to mobilize troops, you brought troops into the city without authorization. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Lin Yun shook his head slightly. "The Crown Prince intended to murder Your Majesty and massacre the palace. I came here to save Your Majesty, but the journey was too long and I was one step too late."

The queen shouted, "Bullshit! You are slandering me."

Lin Yun asked, "What about the truth? Didn't you kill His Majesty?"

He waved back, "Go."

The soldiers immediately rushed into the hall, captured the queen on the spot, and after taking control of the hall, they killed the prince on the spot.

Lin Yun stood before the civil and military officials and said loudly, "We in Western Chu do not need such a bastard prince and such a vicious queen. We must support a wise ruler. Anyone who disobeys will come out and be killed."

In the hall, all the ministers were trembling with fear, and no one dared to disobey.

Lin Yun looked at it for a while and said to Zixia, "Go inform the Prime Minister and bring the new king into the palace."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone quickly recovered to 70% to 80% after eating the eighth-grade elixir.

Lu Xunhuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately everyone was able to survive.

Although the president of the Immortal Friends Association escaped by breaking through the formation violently, he should have suffered a lot.

The burns are not a big deal. At most you will have a lot of scars on your body in the future.

But if he couldn't cure the poison, he would die.

In this way, even if he doesn't die, he won't be able to cause trouble for the time being.

Everyone was cleaning up the battlefield when Zixia arrived.

She looked at Lu Xunhuan's tattered clothes and asked, "Supreme Treasure, are you okay?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "It's okay. Where's your father? Has the palace taken him under control?"

Zixia replied, "He controlled it. He asked the Prime Minister to bring the new king to the throne."

Lu Xun Huan said, "The Prime Minister is hiding in a secret room with the new king. Let's go and escort the new king personally."

After the door of the secret room was opened and Lu Xunhuan told everyone the news, everyone smiled happily.

Lai Meifang stood in front of Lu Xunhuan and said, "Just tell me what position you want."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Then let him be the commander of the Imperial Guard."

Lai Meifang nodded: "Okay, Commander-in-Chief, let's go to court."

There was a huge change in the palace, and the whole city of Changzhou was shaken.

The people got the news that the prince had murdered the emperor and was eager to take the throne himself.

But General Lin suddenly came back and killed the usurping prince and the rebellious queen, and established a new king to succeed the throne.

In the harem, except for Concubine Fang, only a few of the late king's concubines are still alive.

Only the new king survived among the princes. Almost all the princesses were killed, leaving only two little girls of three or four years old.

The Fifth Prince's Mansion was almost completely destroyed by the Imperial Guards, with only a few maids and servants escaping.

Cheng Zhubu's mansion was almost destroyed. Fortunately, Lin Yun's army arrived and Princess Manman was lucky enough to save her life.

But Cheng Zhubu and Cheng Bufan had both been killed.

After the new king came to power, he revitalized the government and quickly appointed and dismissed a group of officials at the suggestion of Prime Minister Zhou.

Lin Yun was rewarded for his contribution in protecting the king and was appointed as the new Minister of War, a first-rank official.

Supreme Jade, for his meritorious service in protecting the king, was appointed as the commander of the imperial guards.

Those former members of the Imperial Guard who were lucky enough to survive were all captured and executed.

The new generals and recruits of the Imperial Guard were drawn from Lin Yun’s army.

The commander of the Cavalry Battalion was Lin Yun's daughter Qingxia, but all the previous soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion were arrested and beheaded.

Of the 100,000 soldiers Lin Yun brought back, 50,000 were separated and became the new Cavalry Battalion.

The rebellion in Changzhou City was quickly put down, and the new king quickly adjusted officials. Within a few days, things were back on track.

Lu Xunhuan served as the commander of the Imperial Guard. After a few days in charge, he assigned responsibilities one by one and let the soldiers do their work.

As the commander, he can basically ignore everything and just wander around.

He can now go wherever he wants and run rampant in the palace.

In the huge harem, except for Empress Dowager Lai's palace, the rest of the place was empty, making it very deserted.

Lu Xunhuan walked in the harem and couldn't see anyone.

And if we want to wait for the new king to fill his harem, we have to wait at least another two or three years until the new king comes of age.

After dismissing the court, he came out of the Golden Throne Hall, took the shortest route, passed through the harem area, and went to the national treasury.

He was walking alone in the harem, passing through an alley, when someone suddenly called him, "Commander-in-Chief."

Lu Xunhuan stopped because it was Lai Meifang, Empress Dowager Lai, who called him.

The empress dowager didn't even bring a maid with her.

He looked at Lai Meifang who was walking quickly and said, "Empress Dowager, don't you take anyone with you when you go out? Aren't you paying attention to your safety?"

The Queen Mother walked up to her with a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was very happy.

"I am the only one in the entire harem. Where is it unsafe? There are no ghosts, let alone people."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Okay, I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it first."

Lai Meifang held him back: "Commander-in-Chief, please don't leave in such a hurry. Can you please stay with me for a few words?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Don't pull it, Queen Mother. It's not good if someone sees us."

Lai Meifang said with a half-smile: "No one saw it. Who saw it?"

She pulled Lu Xunhuan again and said, "Come sit with me, okay? I have something important to tell you behind closed doors."

Lu Xunhuan naturally knew what she meant, but he was in a hurry to go to the national treasury to find something.

He said, "Your Majesty, I will go to the National Treasury to find something first, and then I will come back to visit you."

When Lai Meifang heard him say that he was going to the National Treasure House, she seemed to become interested as well.

"Then let's go take a look together. I'll see if I can find a few handy things to take back and play with."

The two of them then passed through the harem together and arrived at the national treasury.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were guarding the national treasury knelt down and saluted when they saw the Queen Mother and the Commander-in-Chief coming.

Lu Xun Huan said, "Everyone, get up and open the door. The Queen Mother wants to look for a few things."

After a moment, the heavy door opened.

After Lu Xunhuan and Empress Dowager Lai entered, the soldiers closed the door again.

Lu Xunhuan took a rough look and found that it was still the same layout, not much different from the treasure houses of other countries.

He took a step forward and walked along the aisle between the shelves.

After only thirty steps, he felt a vibration in his body.

He stopped and looked at a pair of golden objects on the shelf on the left.

Then he walked over and took the thing in his hand.

In front of that thing, there was a sign that read: Golden Shoulder Pads.

Lu Xunhuan felt relieved that the national treasure house indeed contained what he needed.

Fortunately, he helped Prime Minister Zhou to destroy the prince and the queen's gang, otherwise, how could he enter the treasury so freely.

After looking at the pair of shoulder guards for a moment, he bit his finger and let blood drip into it.

Lai Meifang looked at his actions and asked in surprise, "What is this, a magical weapon?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Defense items, I found three before, this is the fourth one."

After he finished speaking, three other pieces of defensive magic weapon appeared on his body, shining with golden light.

He suddenly became golden.

Lai Meifang's eyes widened: "Oh my God, you are simply a god."

A moment later, the pair of shoulder guards shone and fell on his shoulders, merging with the other four defensive weapons.

Lu Xunhuan immediately read the attributes of the defensive magic weapon.

"Name: Divine Defense Weapon."

"Awakening Condition: Active"

"Basic attribute of defensive magic weapon: Increase defense by 400%."

"Defensive Divine Weapon's additional attribute: absorbs 40% of damage."

"Hidden attribute of the defensive weapon: 4% chance to reflect 60% of damage."

After reading the properties of the defensive magic weapons, he made them disappear.

The golden light on his body disappeared and he returned to normal.

He was about to move forward and continue looking for other objects.

Lai Meifang suddenly hugged him from behind: "Supreme Jade..."

The pair of tall and protruding breasts pressed against Lu Xunhuan's back, full of elasticity, made his heart flutter involuntarily.

He turned his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong, Queen Mother?"

Empress Dowager Lai said, "I am only thirty-one this year, did you know?"

Lu Xunhuan said nothing.

Empress Dowager Lai added, "The late king has passed away. If I live to be eighty-one, I will remain a widow for a full fifty years."

"No, the late king has not come since I became pregnant with Your Majesty. From that time on, I became a widow."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Queen Dowager, please let me find the things first. When you are done, I will come to visit you."

Empress Dowager Lai was excited and surprised: "Really? You keep your word, huh?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Of course I do."
