It turned out that the rift between the Queen Mother and her natal family was fake.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on. They're trying to use Shen Shaoyu's cousin to threaten him.

If Shen Shaoyu were to instigate rebellion at this time, the situation would probably change.

After all, the national seal is in their hands, and these generals now almost all listen to Shen Shaoyu.

Xia Jinxian frowned and stared at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's family.

He never imagined that this family could hide so deeply.

Ever since he could remember, he knew that the Queen Mother and her family were not on good terms, but he never expected that all this was fake.

Despite feeling uneasy, he forced himself to calm down.

He knew that Shen Shaoyu valued this cousin very much, but he also had a good relationship with his father.

But the current situation is really embarrassing.

But now he has no choice but to trust Shen Shaoyu and Yuan Junyao.

Yuan Junyao smacked her lips and said, "You guys are really hiding things deeper than each other."

Liang Chao snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and give us the national seal, or I will kill her."

Leng Qinghe trembled, and said in a choked voice: "Liang Chao, you have such a cruel heart."

Shen Shaoyu and Yuan Junyao both stared at Liang Chao, trying to see a trace of pity on his face.

But there was only ruthlessness on his face, and there was no emotion in his cold eyes.

Therefore, the story that Marquis Zhongyong supported Xia Nanxing and turned against the Queen Mother was false.

But at that time, Prince Huai's legs were still intact!

Now it seems that perhaps they just haven't made it public. They must have started planning since Prince Huai's leg was crippled.

Yuan Junyao asked curiously, "So, how did the Marquis' wife die back then?"

Marquis Zhongyong snorted coldly, "Her death is not a pity."

What a heartless father and son.

Everyone in the capital knows that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion is home to many romantic men.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was devoted to his deceased wife throughout his life and never remarried.

Liang Chao loved his wife dearly.

Who knew it was all fake?

So what is being rumored is all false.

What you hear is what others want you to hear.

"Give us the national seal!" Liang Chao threatened again.

Yuan Junyao was very calm, without any sign of anxiety on her face.

Looking at Shen Shaoyu again, there was only anger on his face.

With just Leng Qinghe, Prince Huai and others could not expect to turn the situation around.

But at least it can make their lives difficult. They should blame Shen Shaoyu and Yuan Junyao for ruining their plans.

Yuan Junyao looked at them calmly and said, "Wait a minute, don't worry, I have something else to do."

Her eyes fell on Princess Huai.

Immediately, two imperial guards brought Princess Huai forward.

"Mother concubine."

Xia Lingqian looked at her anxiously.

Prince Huai and Xia Lingzhou also looked very unhappy.

Prince Huai thought Yuan Junyao was trying to threaten them with the Princess, so he snorted coldly, "Just kill her. We'll all die sooner or later anyway."

"Do you think I'm as insidious as you? Do you think I'm as unscrupulous as you?"

Yuan Junyao rolled her eyes in annoyance, pointed at Princess Huai, and said unhappily, "Do you know that she is a spy from Southern Xinjiang?"

Prince Huai frowned, obviously not believing it.

The Queen Mother stared at Yuan Junyao, wishing she could swallow her up.

Xia Lingzhou, Marquis Zhongyong, and Liang Chao also didn't believe it.

Only Xia Lingqian trembled all over and his face turned ashen.

Yuan Junyao looked at them as if they were fools.

"If you succeed today, you will be making wedding clothes for others. This vast land will be handed over to others, and Beiming will become the second Nanjiang."

Yuan Junyao's gaze fell on Xia Lingqian again, and she pointed at him and said, "He's also infested with Gu. Once you succeed, he'll probably seize the throne. After seizing the throne, he'll lift the ban on the Wu Gu tribe and collude with Southern Xinjiang. I can't imagine what the entire Beiming will become."

Everyone looked at Xia Lingqian.

Civil and military officials were whispering to each other, looking at the mother and son with obvious hostility.

"Why should I believe what you say?"

Prince Huai still trusted his wife and children. He just felt that Yuan Junyao was trying to sow discord.

Princess Huai's mouth was blocked, she couldn't say anything, she could only watch everything.

Yuan Junyao snorted coldly: "The Emperor, I, and Lord Song, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, all witnessed her leading her assassins to rescue Gu Kui."

Prince Huai stared at Yuan Junyao with half belief and half doubt, still unwilling to accept this fact.

But his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xia Lingqian.

Although they are domineering in their own group, they fight with each other.

But he certainly did not want to hand over the kingdom he had built to others, especially the Wu Gu tribe and the people of southern Xinjiang.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Xia Lingqian had cold sweat running down his forehead, and his face looked a little guilty.

He is no match for Xia Lingzhou, inferior to him in every way, but he also wants the throne.

So he could only obey Princess Huai.

The Queen Mother loved her two grandsons very much, so how could she possibly believe what Yuan Junyao said?

She pointed at Yuan Junyao and cursed, "Stop slandering me! How could my grandson possibly be colluding with people from Southern Xinjiang? Even if you wanted to save Leng Qinghe, you shouldn't have made up such a lie."

Yuan Junyao said directly: "I will prove to you that I can draw out the poisonous insects from his body."

The people in Bei Ming were almost terrified at the mention of Gu, and almost everyone took a few steps back.

Xia Lingqian stood there stiffly, unable to retreat or move forward.

Yuan Junyao took out a packet of powder and sprinkled it at her feet.

At this moment, she was about seven or eight steps away from Xia Lingqian.

Everyone watched with bated breath.

Yuan Junyao explained, "The smell of the powder will attract the poisonous insects. Just wait and see."

Within three breaths, four or five insects really crawled out of Xia Lingqian's body. They were strange in shape and creepy.

Xia Lingqian's face turned pale in an instant.

Five insects came to the powder and all stopped moving after eating it.

Yuan Junyao said calmly, "His Gu worm is dead, and he, the host, will probably suffer the backlash."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Lingqian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a thud, looking very weak.

Everything in front of me proved that what Yuan Junyao said was true.

Prince Huai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back and was filled with fear.

If he handed over the kingdom built by his ancestors to others, he would truly be a sinner of the Xia family.

He said angrily: "Ling Zhou, kill him, kill this traitor!"

"How could you let these brothers kill each other! He must have been deceived by that bitch."

The Queen Mother stood in front of Xia Lingqian like a child protecting her own, but her eyes were glaring fiercely at Princess Huai.

Xia Lingzhou couldn't bring himself to do it, after all, this was his younger brother who he grew up with.

He pleaded, "Father, please let my brother go."

Xia Lingqian suddenly felt ashamed. He sobbed and cried, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault."
