Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

The ministers were all surprised. How could the Crown Prince defeat a late Foundation Establishment expert? His strength must be at least early Golden Core stage or above!

Thinking of this, the ministers who supported the prince were very excited, including the emperor and the empress dowager.

The prince is only nineteen years old, but he is already a powerful Jindan realm master. If it continues for another two years, it will be disastrous. No wonder he has the confidence to sever diplomatic ties with the Nanyang Kingdom.

Xie Jinglan couldn't tell what his strength was, but with the strength he was using now, it was less than half.

Beitang Hong sat there slumped, knowing that he had lost completely.

"Looking for death!" Beitang Yuan exerted a little force with his hand, and Changsun Kai was lifted into the air in the hall, flapping his four hooves.

"boom--"

Chang Sun Kai exploded, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

"what……"

All the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked and retreated.

In an instant, the smell of blood filled the entire hall.

"What a rebellion!" Emperor Kunming was furious and ordered, "Come here! The Changsun family is plotting rebellion, and all five of their clans will be executed!"

Now that's good, Emperor Kunming just wanted to detain them first, and then deal with them as appropriate, and kill a few people to serve as a deterrent. He didn't expect that Changsun Kai was so brainless that he actually dared to try to kill the king in the palace. How could the emperor not be angry!

Beitang Hong sat there like a fool, and even forgot to beg for mercy.

For a moment, there was a panic in the hall, and all the members of the Changsun family were taken away by the imperial guards.

Emperor Kunming issued another decree, "As Empress, Changsun Man has failed to fulfill her duty as a governor to her clan. She is deposed from her position as Empress. Considering she gave birth to an heir for the royal family, her death penalty will be spared and she will be sent to the cold palace, where she will never be allowed out."

"Your Majesty, please don't! My mother has been burned. If she is sent to the cold palace, she will die." Beitang Hong panicked and climbed to the steps, kowtowing desperately to Emperor Kunming, "Your Majesty, please, spare my mother..."

"Take Prince Mu away and confine him to Prince Mu's palace to reflect on his mistakes for a year. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the palace." After all, he was the son he had loved since childhood, and Emperor Kunming was reluctant to punish him too harshly.

"Dismiss the court!" Eunuch Wang shouted.

Upon hearing this, some ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as they could finally leave!

Too many things happened today. They have to go back and sort them out. They also have to distance themselves from Changsun's family to avoid being implicated.

Especially when it comes to royal secrets, they don't want to hear anything they shouldn't hear.

"Grandmother, I'll take you back first." Beitang Yuan came over to support the Queen Mother. As he passed by Xie Jinglan, he winked at her. "I'll come find you when I have time."

Xie Jinglan glanced at him and bowed, "Farewell, Queen Mother, Your Majesty."

"Farewell to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!" Civil and military officials shouted in unison.

Only after the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had left the hall did the ministers stand up and follow them out.

Xie Wanying and Xie Jinglan, the grandparents and grandchildren, walked at the back.

"Grandma, I'm sorry to have worried you!"

"Let's go back first." Xie Wanying didn't expect that as soon as they came back, they would kill the Changsun family, a big family.

Just now I only heard the prince talk about how he was assassinated, and he didn't mention anything about his granddaughter, but I think things are far from that simple.

When they walked out of the palace gate, they saw Lu Demin waiting for them with a carriage.

The grandmother and granddaughter got on the carriage, and without waiting for Xie Wanying to ask, Xie Jinglan told her grandmother everything that had happened from yesterday to this morning.

Xie Wanying was shocked and angry after hearing this. "Beitang Hui is so bold! He actually sent a thousand-year-old monster into the hunting forest just to get your blood. If you are caught by them, they will lock you up and you will be their tool for extracting blood forever."

"This conspiracy was originally aimed at me and Beitang Yuan. Beitang Hui and the Changsun family are in cahoots. One wants my blood, and the other wants to kill Beitang Yuan. If they succeed this time, the next people to be harmed will be the Queen Mother and Emperor Kunming, and they will control the entire Yuyong Kingdom."

Xie Jinglan thought to herself that Beitang Hui was too vicious. She sold out the entire Yuyong Kingdom for her own selfish desires. She couldn't let her go back to Nanyang Kingdom so easily. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to kill her again.

Thinking of this, she decided to fly there at night, and when the woman entered Nanyang, she would kill her to prevent future troubles.

At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard outside, "Thank you, old lady, please stay!"

"Whoa!" Lu Demin stopped the carriage.

Xie Jinglan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that a royal guard was riding a horse and catching up with them.

She frowned slightly. The Imperial Guards were specifically responsible for serving the emperor. This man was so anxious to catch up. Could something have happened in the palace again?

"I wonder what the Lord wants?"

The imperial guard dismounted, pulled out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to her with both hands, "Thank you, Miss. This is from His Majesty."

"For me?" Xie Jinglan was puzzled and took the letter with a blank cover.

The Royal Guard said nothing, but just bowed to her again, then climbed onto the horse's back, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and left.

Xie Jinglan lowered the car curtain and opened the letter to read.

After reading the letter, I was speechless.

This Emperor Kunming seemed to know that she would assassinate Beitang Hui, so he wrote a letter to tell her not to act rashly, saying that Beitang Hui must not die in Yuyong Kingdom, so as to avoid being used as a handle to cause a war between the two countries.

"Lan'er, what did His Majesty say?" Xie Wanying felt that since the emperor wrote to her specially, it must be something big.

"Look." Xie Jinglan handed her the letter.

After reading the letter, Xie Wanying's face turned grim. "Lan'er, do you know how our Duke of Li got the title?"

"It must be that our ancestors have made immortal contributions." Xie Jinglan knew that the Xie family's title of Duke of Li was permanent, but she was not sure why it was conferred.

Xie Wanying sighed softly and told her some of the origins of the Xie family and the royal family. "The ancestor of the Xie family was once saved by the founding emperor. Later, they became sworn brothers. They met in humble beginnings and founded the Yuyong Kingdom together.

Our ancestor was a founding hero and was granted the title of Duke of Li by the emperor, implying that our Xie family must protect the people for generations to come.

Because Yuyong State was separated from Nanyang State, the people of Nanyang have always held a grudge against Yuyong State and have been constantly provoking conflicts on the border between the two countries. There have been constant battles, both large and small, and our Xie family has participated in every battle. Several of your great uncles died in the battle, and even your father was eaten by those monsters..."

"Since it is the emperor's wish, I will let Beitang Hui go this time." Xie Jinglan understood what her grandmother meant and hoped that she would not disobey the emperor's order.

"But it's the Nanyang people who are always looking for trouble. Just trying to keep things quiet is useless. We've already broken off relations with the Nanyang people, and they'll come back to provoke us again.

This time, I will personally go to the battlefield and fight until the Emperor of Nanyang is scared."

Xie Jinglan hated Beitang Hui so much that she gritted her teeth. If the people from Nanyang dared to cause trouble again, she would definitely make the most of the weapons in the space.
