The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

“I agree. No matter how skilled that expert was, he was still injured. Although he rescued the prince, he was also tortured by us. Without a skilled healer, the prince would have died anyway. So it’s better for us.” Someone immediately stood up.

Immediately afterward, others said, "That's right. So what if we rescue the Crown Prince? Right now, many ministers in the Great Shun court are on our side. We don't need to worry about anything. All we need to do is let the Third Prince of Great Shun ascend the throne, and then the five cities will be ours."

"Yes, I can't wait for our people to move into those cities."

Su Yun then slowly spoke, "The Emperor is missing and hasn't been found yet. What if he's not dead?"

An old woman sitting at the very bottom of the table stood up and said, “Prince, don’t worry. I personally prepared the medicine, so there’s absolutely no problem with it. Even if he doesn’t die, he’s just a living dead man and will never wake up in this lifetime.”

"Tomorrow we should announce that the Crown Prince is dead and then let the Third Prince ascend the throne. It doesn't matter to the people who is on the throne. As for the others... there's no need to worry. If there are any dissenting voices in the court, we will kill them directly. After killing a few, the others will not dare to say anything."

"I like it this way. People from Da Shun are so annoying."

Du Mingxian entered the Crown Prince's residence again, but before she could get close, she was stopped by someone who said, "Don't go."

Du Mingxian turned around in surprise. Had she become less wary after being injured? Someone was already approaching her, and she hadn't noticed.

Turning around, she looked at the newcomer warily, but the murderous intent in her eyes dissipated when she saw it was Guo Miaomiao. "What are you doing here?"

"I..." Guo Miaomiao didn't explain why, "I saw you saving people back then, and I was afraid you would come back, so I waited for you here."

Should I go and confront them?

"Of course I'll go." Du Mingxian didn't explain why, she just said she would go.

Guo Miaomiao grabbed her, "Don't go. There's a woman among them who's very good at using poison, and the others are also quite skilled. The most powerful one is their bodyguard, who is extremely skilled."

Du Mingxian looked at Guo Miaomiao with a hint of suspicion. "You don't want me to kill them?"

"I'm telling you all this because... I want to help you."

How can I help?

“I can go into that room. The people inside are all influential figures in Da Shun. I can bring them some tea and poison it. It’s better than you rushing in and killing them, and getting hurt yourself.”

Du Mingxian hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miaomiao, can I trust you?"

Guo Miaomiao's eyes immediately reddened. "Of course, we are sisters, sisters for life."

"But didn't you say there's a woman inside who's very skilled with poisons? How could they not detect if you poisoned the tea?"

"I..." Guo Miaomiao's tears streamed down her face, "I don't want to live anymore."

Du Mingxian could tell she was contemplating suicide. "What's wrong? Did something happen to Su An?"

No way! The medicine Ling Silang gave us won't cause any problems. He's a skilled doctor, and since he said he'd save lives, he'd definitely prepare the right medicine.

"No, he's fine."

Du Mingxian understood Guo Miaomiao somewhat. The most important person in her heart was Su An. If Su An was alright, why would she want to die?

"Did Su Yun bully you?"

Guo Miaomiao gently shook her head, "I want to do something meaningful before I die."

"Nothing is more precious than life. Even if they are all worthless, you can still choose to live a comfortable life. My promise to send you away still stands."

Guo Miaomiao's tears streamed down her face, but she stopped speaking.

"Go back. If I'm going to kill them, I have to. Go back and stay by Su'an's side."

“Su An was taken away by them, I… I can’t see Su An.”

"Then I'll grab someone out in a bit and interrogate them to find out."

"Okay, thank you."

"Let's go back to your courtyard first."

Guo Miaomiao left, turning back every few steps.

Du Mingxian took out a machine gun, stood in a corner, and threw a grenade directly at the door. The explosion startled everyone inside.

They were clever and cautious, and did not flee in a panic.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black carried them out, using his light-footed skills.

Du Mingxian started shooting as soon as she saw people come out. Whether she could hit them or not, she fired blindly. Many fell to the ground, and some people escaped. Just as she was having a good time, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

"Stop."

Du Mingxian felt a stinging pain in her neck. She stopped, her body stiffening. But it was still dark, and she didn't dare to expose herself, so she put the machine gun away.

The person who held the knife to her neck was a highly skilled bodyguard whose purpose was to make her stop. Seeing that there was no more terrifying gunfire, the bodyguard secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result... when she looked down, the strange object that could shoot projectiles that the woman had been holding was gone; it had disappeared.

Where is the stuff?

"what?"

"The thing you just sprayed at us with hidden weapons."

"He flicked it with his hand."

"You're lying to me."

Believe it or not.

The other person increased the pressure with the knife, and Du Mingxian could feel blood sliding down her skin. It was a little itchy, but she wasn't afraid.

"Behave yourself."

Du Mingxian remained silent.

The man twisted Du Mingxian's arm and started tying ropes around her body, binding her tightly before lifting her up and leaving.

Du Mingxian wasn't short in Da Shun, but she looked rather short standing next to the Tapo people. The man carrying her looked like he was carrying a little chick.

Those who had been discussing matters earlier moved directly to the main hall in the front yard, and now everyone's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

It was at this moment that Du Mingxian was grabbed by the man and thrown to the ground. "It was this woman. She had something really powerful that I couldn't find earlier."

The people in the council chamber looked at Du Mingxian with eyes that could kill, but some of the smart ones realized what was happening and squatted down to ask, "Did you take those things that disappeared before?"

Du Mingxian didn't say anything and simply pretended to be dead.

Someone tried to make a move but was stopped. "Just take her away and interrogate her. We have more important things to do. This woman ruined our plans, so let her experience the consequences of angering us."

"Take her away and serve her well."

The man who brought Du Mingxian picked her up again and walked towards the back.

Every now and then, a man would approach and ask, "Who is she?"

"The woman who rescued the Crown Prince of Da Shun was armed with a powerful weapon."

"Impressive weapon. Let's let her test our weapon to see if it's powerful."

And so, more and more people gradually followed behind them, all staring at Du Mingxian with ill intent.

As she approached the back, someone walked out from the front, and Du Mingxian looked up and saw Guo Miaomiao.

"What are you doing?" Guo Miaomiao stepped forward to stop them.

Immediately, someone impatiently shoved Guo Miaomiao aside, saying, "Get out of here! If it weren't for the fact that the prince still cares about you, he would have already ruined you. Do you even have the right to speak here?"

Guo Miaomiao was pushed to the ground, but she still rushed forward in a panic, her face filled with fear, "I...I know her, can I say a few words to her?"

"With so many of you, I dare not do anything."
