Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

"Your Highness, Xie Zhuguo is a veteran of three reigns, he cannot be killed!" Censor Xiao risked his life to plead with him.

Huo Jingxuan sneered: "So, a veteran of three dynasties can disobey imperial orders? Since you have no respect for the emperor, you are no different from an ant or a tick in life. You might as well be dead!"

As he spoke, he thrust the longsword in his hand toward Xie Jiayun's neck, but just as he was about to exert force, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

The pain came so suddenly, it felt like someone had suddenly slashed his hand with a knife.

The pain made his hand tremble, and he couldn't even hold the sword properly, so it fell to the ground with a clatter.

This sudden turn of events left everyone in the court completely bewildered.

The once invincible regent's hands are shaking!

Moreover, his face was extremely pale; anyone who didn't know better would think he was seriously ill.

While everyone was speculating, Huo Jingxuan already understood what was going on.

Jiang Xi, that woman, is causing trouble again!

So he endured the pain in his wrist and put his hands behind his back.

Looking down at Xie Jiayun, who seemed ready to die a martyr, he changed his story.

"Very good, Xie Zhuguo truly deserves to be called the mainstay of my Great Yu Dynasty. I admire your integrity and, considering your advanced age and high moral character, I will spare your life for now."

However, the matter of appointing a new emperor is of my own choosing. If anyone has any objections, they may go and consult His Majesty in person!

These words revealed a murderous intent, and no one, no matter how dissatisfied, dared to stand up and utter a single word.

After all, Huo Jingxuan had 100,000 Shence Army soldiers waiting outside Deyang Gate. They were the elite troops of the capital, a fierce and powerful force!

Why bother trying to fight a losing battle?

However, just when everyone was panicking and trying to protect themselves, Zhang Zhongyuan, the imperial tutor who was kneeling among the ministers, staggered to his feet.

Zhang Zhongyuan was over seventy years old and had taught two emperors. Even when Emperor Jiang Zun was alive, he treated him with utmost respect.

Among all the civil and military officials, if Huo Jingxuan held immense power, then Zhang Zhongyuan was highly respected for his virtue and integrity.

At this moment, the white-haired, highly respected imperial tutor stood up unsteadily, his expression sorrowful.

He shouted, "Your Majesty, open your eyes and see! The person you trust most is about to destroy your empire!"

This old minister is advanced in years; though he longs to fight the enemy, he is powerless to reverse the tide. Therefore, he has come to the underworld to plead guilty!

After saying that, he ran towards the Azure Dragon Pillar in the main hall and rammed into it without hesitation!

If Zhang Zhongyuan were to actually kill himself by crashing into the imperial court, then Huo Jingxuan's disloyal intentions would be definitively confirmed.

The whole world will think that he forced a loyal minister to his death, that he has wolfish ambitions, and that he deserves to be killed!

Therefore, Han Chuan, who was next to Huo Jingxuan, was faster than him. He sprinted diagonally and stood in front of the Azure Dragon Pillar.

Zhang Zhongyuan mustered all his strength and rammed into him with all his might, hitting him directly in the stomach.

"Pfft!" Han Chuan coughed up blood.

Zhang Zhongyuan fell to the ground, and the people around him quickly helped him up.

"Lord Zhang, why are you doing this?!"

Seeing that he was not dead, Zhang Zhongyuan breathed his last and fainted from grief.

"Someone, escort Lord Zhang back to his residence, and have the imperial physician take good care of him!"

Huo Jingxuan first had Zhang Zhongyuan sent away, then came to Han Chuan's side and checked his pulse.

After confirming that he was not seriously injured, they handed him over to their men to be carried away for treatment.

After announcing the end of the court session, he turned and walked towards the Jade Palace.

If Jiang Xi hadn't suddenly harmed himself, then if he had just killed Xie Jiayun today, the officials would naturally not have dared to cause any more trouble.

Han Chuan wouldn't be seriously injured by that old scoundrel Zhang Zhongyuan!

That woman, Jiang Xi, is really not at all well-behaved!

"Bang" sound!

The gates of the Jade Palace were kicked open.

Jiang Xi had just raised her head in the courtyard when someone grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up.

With her toes off the ground, a suffocating sense of death filled Jiang Xi's entire nervous system.

"Hand over the antidote!"

Huo Jingxuan's handsome face was as white as snow, and his clenched teeth made people shudder.

"There's no solution to twins, doesn't Your Majesty know that?" Jiang Xi said deliberately.

Huo Jingxuan naturally didn't believe it: "There's no poison in this world that can't be cured. If you don't tell the truth, then I'll kill her first!"

With that, he released Jiang Xi and pointed his long sword at Chun Tao standing to the side!

Chun Tao turned pale with fright and knelt down tremblingly: "Your Highness, spare my life!"

Jiang Xi sneered: "She's just a servant girl. What difference would it make if the prince killed her? Do you think I would value a servant girl's life more than my own?"

"Is that so?" Huo Jingxuan sneered, and with a sweep of his longsword, he was about to slit Chun Tao's throat.

Jiang Xi was startled and reached out to grab the sword blade in a panic, but Huo Jingxuan changed the direction of the sword and swept it towards a peony plant next to him.

The flowers were instantly cut off and fell to the ground, leaving only bare branches and leaves.

"Didn't you say you didn't care about a maid?" Huo Jingxuan retorted.

Jiang Xi's face darkened: "Even if Chun Tao is just a maid, she is still a maid who grew up with me since childhood."

"If the Imperial Uncle were to kill her like this, wouldn't that be utterly disregarding human life?"

"So what? It's not like you just met me yesterday!" Huo Jingxuan said nonchalantly.

Jiang Xi was stunned. Given Huo Jingxuan's personality, he might actually kill Chun Tao.

But Chun Tao was carrying her brother's child, and she had promised to protect them.

"The Twin Poison can be cured!"

Jiang Xi finally gave in.

"You need two ounces of Paris polyphylla, one mace of silkworm pupae on the winter solstice, and decoct them with snow from the previous year!"

"Are you trying to lie to me again?"

Huo Jingxuan grabbed Jiang Xi's chin, forcing her to look up into his eyes.

"Paris polyphylla has seven leaves and one flower, but where do silkworm pupae come from on the winter solstice? And how can snow fall a year later?"

"I've already told you there's no solution for twins, but you wouldn't believe me. Anyway, I've told you, you're not allowed to kill Chun Tao again!"

Jiang Xi looked directly into Huo Jingxuan's eyes, her phoenix eyes clear and unambiguous.

Huo Jingxuan naturally didn't believe Jiang Xi, so when he got back, he summoned the imperial physician to examine his pulse.

However, none of the imperial physicians had ever seen or heard of this poison before, and they were helpless.

Then, Bei Ying, who was standing next to Huo Jingxuan, stepped forward and spoke.

"Since there's no solution for twins, Your Highness might as well capture the Seventh Princess and keep her by your side for life, so as to prevent her from causing any trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingxuan frowned deeply.

Asking him to marry that woman is worse than killing him!

Beijing Film Academy noticed Huo Jingxuan's dislike for Jiang Xi.

"Your Highness knows that you are fond of Yang Xuerou, the youngest daughter of Minister Yang."

Moreover, the Seventh Princess is a princess, and she is of a different generation from you, so naturally she cannot become your concubine.

So why not find an excuse to bring her out of the palace and raise her in the Prince's residence? As for what she does there, that's entirely up to you!

Huo Jingxuan still hesitated: "Let me think about it some more!"

"Yes!" Beijing Film Academy, knowing better, kept quiet.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xi had already crawled out through the dog hole in the backyard of the Jade Palace.

No one would have imagined that the dignified seventh princess of the Great Yu Dynasty would crawl through a dog hole to get in and out.

But Jiang Xi didn't care at all. So what if he had to crawl through a dog hole? A person can't risk their life for a little bit of integrity!
