All the civil and military officials in the Dongchu court pricked up their ears, wondering what unknown news this Su Jixue knew.

The imperial seal of Nanqing?

Some people also looked at the War King. In their opinion, this information must not have been known by Su Jixue herself, but must have been given by the War King.

The War King still had an indifferent expression, and no clues could be seen.

Zong Kui's face finally turned ugly. When he thought that Ji Xue was still alive, he was actually just acting on his instinctive emotions and didn't think too much about it.

Now, as Su Jixue pressed on step by step, Zong Kui finally came out of his emotions about Ji Xue's resurrection and realized a very realistic problem.

That is, Ji Xue knew too much.

Although the Nanqing decree was to be effective only after being stamped with two seals, no one knew that both seals were in the hands of Zongkui, and Emperor Jingdi did not have the national seal.

Zong Kui lowered his eyes, but in just a moment he made a decision: "I can leave the regent's seal as collateral."

Su Jixue's goal was nothing more than this, choosing the lesser of two evils. Zong Kui said without hesitation, "Bei Su, go get the seal for Dong Chu."

Although Bei Su was a little stunned, he still followed the order and went to get the seal from the subordinate who was responsible for carrying it.

The Golden Palace was silent. What Dong Chu had gained so far was much more than he had imagined.

At this moment, neither Emperor Ming nor his courtiers had any intention of speaking, because no one knew what the War King and Zong Kui, who were sitting in the center of the hall, were thinking.

The struggle between them is no longer something that others can interfere with.

In the eyes of everyone, Su Jixue also represents the King of War.

Now it is a battle between two kings at the top of the six countries.

"So, Miss Su, now that everything is as you wish, we can negotiate terms, right?" Zong Kui slowly raised his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were calm, and all the surging emotions just now seemed to have subsided.

"Then I need to think about it again." Su Jixue said without giving any face.

At this moment, Bei Su had just sent someone to bring in the seal of the Regent. Hearing this, he wanted to explode again, but seeing the solemnity of the Dong Chu Palace, he shut up and could only glare at Su Jixue fiercely.

Ji Xue was obviously playing a trick.

Bei Su really had reason to suspect that Su Jixue had never thought about saving Zong Kui at all.

"Considering it?" Zong Kui looked at Emperor Ming, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and then at Prime Minister Zhuang, Su Jian, and the powerful officials of Dongchu. "It seems that this king is sincere in apologizing for the previous offense, but Dongchu is not sincere in accepting this apology."

His voice was low and his face was pale, but the hearts of the rulers and ministers of Dong Chu sank.

Emperor Ming actually still didn't want this unprecedented achievement to be in vain. He looked at Prime Minister Zhuang and Su Jian and asked them to talk to Su Jixue.

After all, no one present was more suitable than the two of them.

But Prime Minister Zhuang had just been criticized by Su Jixue and didn't want to make things awkward, so he directly signaled Su Jian to speak.

Su Jian coughed lightly and looked at King Zhan: "Your Majesty, this matter concerns two countries. Look at the current situation."

Su Jian didn't dare to tell Su Jixue directly, for fear that if he was criticized, he would not come to the throne.

But King Zhan always knows the overall situation, and his daughter seems to have a different attitude towards him. If anyone can persuade Su Jixue, perhaps only King Zhan can do it.

The War King raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Su Jian coldly, and said indifferently: "Jixue has fought too much for Dongchu. Now this matter has nothing to do with state affairs."

"My future princess should still have the freedom to save others or not."

As he spoke, the War King's narrow, icy eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one. Whether it was his expression or his words, it only showed one thing: he was supporting Su Jixue.

This is his attitude.

It is Su Jixue’s freedom to save people or not.

"Royal brother, isn't that right?" The War King's last glance fell on Emperor Ming. His cold voice sounded more like pressure than a question.

Emperor Ming inexplicably felt a little heavy. He nodded slightly and said, "Of course."

Then, Emperor Ming set his eyes on Zong Kui. In fact, he had already seen clearly that the poison in Zong Kui was the best restraint for Dong Chu.

If Zong Kui had a way, he would not want to use the rulers and ministers of Dongchu to put pressure on Su Jixue.

This means that Su Jixue has absolute dominance.

"Regent, you should discuss the detoxification matter with Miss Su. Even I cannot force anyone to do anything." Emperor Ming was worthy of being the young emperor who finally ascended the throne amidst the strife. He was accustomed to observing the situation and knew how to advance and retreat.

"After all, the One-Handed Ghost Doctor is not from Dongchu."

This also shows the attitude that Emperor Ming cannot speak for Zongkui. Saving people is a private matter between them, not a state affair.

Emperor Ming and King Zhan reached a consensus on their attitude towards this matter.

Zong Kui glanced between Emperor Ming and King Zhan, then retracted his gaze to look at Su Jixue: "Then why did Miss Su think of this?"

So, in the end, I still have to face Ji Xue.

"Regent, you have tried to murder my fiancé several times. How should I settle this account?" Su Jixue's hand fell on King Zhan's shoulder, as if King Zhan had supported her without thinking.

At this moment, Su Jixue said this casually, and also expressed her attitude of standing up for the War King.

Multiple murders...of her fiancé?

Su Jixue's words made Zong Kui feel a little suffocated.

Now, when Zong Kui himself stood on the opposite side of Ji Xue, he realized how uncomfortable it was for those who were targeted by her.

"What does Miss Su want from me?" Zong Kui forced a smile. He could see that Su Jixue already had a plan.

"Please give me the list of Dongchu officials who collaborated with Nanqing in the Battle of Gu'an, Prince Regent." Su Jixue spoke lightly, and her words shocked all the civil and military officials in the court.

Even the officials who couldn't help but criticize Su Jixue just now were all dumbfounded.

They thought Su Jixue was being willful, so they said they would not save her.

But I didn't expect that they were narrow-minded.

So I was waiting here.

Even Emperor Ming felt a tightness in his heart. With Prince Zhan returning to the capital, the previously unresolved Battle of Gu'an would definitely be brought up again.

There are more than one or two people involved in this matter, and it will definitely shake the court.

Although Emperor Ming knew a little about it, he was not clear about the details. Now that Su Jixue directly asked Zong Kui for the list, it was really beyond everyone's expectation.

"Miss Su, you're joking." Zong Kui's face froze. He had just wanted to use the Dongchu court to suppress Su Jixue. He didn't expect that Su Jixue would use the same trick on him.

"I'm not joking. Please, Lord Regent, hand over the list of those who are secretly plotting against my fiancé." The smile on Su Jixue's lips turned cold, and she looked at Zong Kui with sarcasm.

In fact, Su Jixue also knew these people, but she just wanted Zong Kui to write out the list and then hand it over to Dong Chu.

This is the greatest revenge for the clan leader and those traitors.

She likes to kill people and destroy their hearts.
