"According to the laws of Great Xia, Princess Yuehua has done something that is against human ethics and has killed several people, including some students who have passed the imperial examinations. She should be beheaded immediately and displayed to the public!" Lord Wei said in a serious and resounding voice.

"Princess Yuehua is supported by the people, yet she commits such cruel acts against the people. This must not be tolerated!"

"Those students who were brutally murdered will become pillars of our Great Xia in the future. This act harms the people's livelihood and our country! Your Majesty, please execute them immediately!"

"As long as Princess Yuehua is alive, the dead cannot rest in peace!"

Civil and military officials all requested Emperor Yuan to execute Princess Yuehua and her daughter, preferably by beheading them in public!

Princess Yuehua burst into tears and kept shaking her head, obviously begging for mercy from Emperor Yuan.

Princess Wen'an looked at Liu Yan and asked with tears in her eyes, "Have you ever loved me?"

"No, never! Every moment I spend with you, I feel extremely disgusted!" Liu Yan said mercilessly.

"Heh~" County Lady Wen'an laughed at herself, "It's really hard for you to play along with me for so long."

"Liu Yan... I'm sorry..." Princess Wen'an said as she pulled out the hairpin on her head.

“Hide quickly…”

Before Liu Yan could finish his words, Princess Wen'an inserted the hairpin into her heart.

She slowly leaned to one side, "Liu Yan, I really... like you. If... if we..."

She died before she could even finish her words, without even closing her eyes.

Liu Yan didn't react at all and looked away indifferently.

Emperor Yuan withdrew his gaze and said expressionlessly, "Princess Yuehua has disregarded the law and murdered innocent people. Her crimes are extremely heinous and she should be beheaded immediately.

However, due to his special status, beheading him publicly would be disrespectful to the royal family, so he was given a cup of poisoned wine and his body was left intact."

The Left Prime Minister, Lord Wei and others felt that it was inappropriate to execute the princess privately in such a dire situation, and they wanted to once again request Emperor Yuan to behead Princess Yuehua in public to show justice!

But Emperor Yuan did not give them a chance to speak. He said directly, "My decision is made. My dear ministers, there is no need to say anything more. Come, bring the poisoned wine."

Upon hearing that Emperor Yuan was going to execute Princess Yuehua in the hall, the civil and military officials said nothing more.

Not long after, Li Fuquan brought up a eunuch with a pot of poisoned wine.

At this time, Su Yuan pleaded, "Your Majesty, could you allow me to see Princess Yuehua off for the last time?"

Emperor Yuan looked at her in silence for a moment, then waved his hand and agreed.

Then, Su Yuan walked over with the poisoned wine.

She took out the handkerchief that was blocking Princess Yuehua's way and sneered, "Did you ever think that this day would come?"

Princess Yuehua glared at Su Yuan fiercely, then looked at Emperor Yuan and begged for mercy, "Royal brother, Yuehua knows that her crimes are heinous and unforgivable.

Yuehua is willing to serve the Buddha for her entire life, praying for Daxia, praying for the people, and praying for the deceased. I beg my brother to spare Yuehua's life!"

Emperor Yuan listened to Princess Yuehua's plea for mercy with a blank expression on his face and no wavering eyes. He looked at her coldly, as if he were looking at a stranger.

Su Yuan was afraid that Emperor Yuan would be soft-hearted, so she immediately grabbed Princess Yuehua's chin and said fiercely, "You've killed so many people, and you still want to live. Aren't you afraid that they will come to take your life at night?"

"You must die today!" Su Yuan said as he poured the poisoned wine in his hand into her mouth.

Princess Yuehua struggled desperately, and some wine spilled on her clothes.

After a while, her face turned blue and purple, her body began to twitch, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

Princess Yuehua slowly collapsed to the ground, then crawled twice towards Emperor Yuan before she died.

Jiang Yueyang looked at the fallen Princess Yuehua and asked suspiciously, "Little melon, did His Majesty tamper with the wine?"

[Why do you ask?] The system is puzzled.

[Hmm... don't people who die of poisoning bleed from all seven orifices? But look, after Princess Yuehua drank the poisoned wine, not a single drop of blood came out.] Jiang Yueyang raised his hand and pinched his chin, very skeptical, [Is she really dead?]

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Emperor Yuan with suspicion.

Emperor Yuan: “!!!”

He didn't do anything!

Just as he was about to question Li Fuquan with his eyes, the system replied: [According to my scan, Princess Yuehua is indeed dead. There's no bleeding, so it might be poison.]

[Really dead?]

【It is impossible to die any more.】

[No need to add two more stabs?] Jiang Yueyang was still a little worried.

System: [...Host, can you please trust me a little? She is really dead!]

Jiang Yueyang smiled awkwardly and stopped questioning.

"Report..." Suddenly, a joyful urgent voice came from outside, and everyone turned their heads to look outside.

As the sound got closer, a guard ran into the hall.

Before he even knelt down, he couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, General Lu has sent a victory message; General Feng has been successfully rescued!

In addition, our army defeated the Eastern Turks, captured countless enemy soldiers, and seized a large amount of food, fodder, and war horses!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall, and all the civil and military officials were delighted!

Emperor Yuan was delighted. "Great! Great! Pass on my order. When they return triumphantly, I will reward them handsomely!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" All civil and military officials shouted.

Seeing that Emperor Yuan did not ask about Lu Yunting and the others' situation, Jiang Yueyang hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the imperial guard.

She asked quietly, "Um, Brother Imperial Guard, did the victory report say anyone was injured?"

"No." The imperial guard replied in a low voice.

Jiang Yueyang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. She was glad that he wasn't injured.

Emperor Yuan stood up and took in everything, then smiled helplessly and shook his head.

After the joy, today's morning court ended.

Jiang Yueyang walked out happily, but before she took two steps, someone grabbed her arm.

She looked back and found it was King Yan.

"Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Jiang Yueyang asked doubtfully.

Prince Yan asked in silence, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. What could happen to me?" Jiang Yueyang felt that he was a little puzzled.

Seeing her reaction, King Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Jiang Yueyang, don't you think you forgot something?"

Hearing him ask this, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but tilt her head and think, "Did I... forget something? Nothing?"

At this time, Kong Jijiu walked past them like a ghost, and said the three words "Supervision Office" in a light voice.

Hearing the words "Supervision Office", Jiang Yueyang suddenly remembered what she had forgotten and smiled embarrassedly at King Yan.

King Yan: "You remember?"

"I...I haven't forgotten." Jiang Yueyang argued, "I was just teasing you on purpose."

"Hehe~" King Yan looked as if to ask, "Do you think I believe it?"

"Okay, okay, let's go. They must be getting anxious waiting." Jiang Yueyang turned and walked out.

Today, the Supervisory Department is officially launched, and the chief officer Jiang Yueyang needs to be present to meet everyone.

"Jiang Yueyang, what can your brain remember?" King Yan quickly chased after him.

"Your Highness, I will remember you!"
