The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

"Brother!"

"Ayan!"

Two voices rang out one after the other on the city wall.

The eldest princess was heartbroken and wanted to stop it, but she was powerless to do so.

The other voice belonged to the Emperor, who had just broken free from the guards' restraints.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a bright yellow nightgown, had half his body leaning out of the city wall. Upon seeing this, he nervously called out his name.

At that moment, a strong gust of wind swept past, fiercely brushing against the face of the King of Gaoliang.

The gust of wind was like a sharp blade, instantly lifting a few strands of hair from his forehead and adding several deep and shallow bloodstains to his already scarred face.

However, the King of Gaoliang seemed oblivious, his eyes still tightly closed, standing quietly in place.

After an unknown amount of time, the King of Gaoliang slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was an incredibly sharp spear hovering just two centimeters from his eyes.

If they had moved even half an inch further... the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The man holding the gun had bloodshot eyes and exuded a chilling aura of violence, like a demon that had emerged from the depths of hell.

Hearing the shouts behind him, the man paused for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked straight toward the city wall.

“Ayan…”

When the emperor saw him turn around, he felt a little more at ease and tried to make his tone more even.

"Brother Royal."

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Yuheng seemed momentarily dazed before regaining his senses and murmuring the name.

Just then, this incredibly fierce battle was gradually coming to an end.

Those who were willing to lay down their weapons and surrender were all firmly pressed to the ground by the Black Armor Guards; while those who refused to submit until death had already been beheaded, their blood staining the land beneath their feet.

Pei Taiwei, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines for a long time, was startled by Xiao Yuheng's terrifying state, which resembled that of a god of death.

Although previous regents were just as terrifying, today's Xiao Yuheng was someone he had never seen before—terrifying and chilling.

It wasn't until his son, Pei Jingyu, gently nudged his shoulder that he snapped out of his daze, hurriedly stepped forward, and loudly ordered his soldiers, "Quickly! Take down the King of Gaoliang at once!"

Although the King of Gaoliang was a rebellious minister who defied his superiors, he still holds the title of prince and is the elder brother of the current regent.

If the regent were to personally and mercilessly kill the King of Gaoliang in front of such a large crowd, then the crime of "killing his brother" would forever bind him like a heavy shackle, making it difficult for him to wash away this infamy.

"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha..."

A maniacal laugh suddenly came from the city wall, and everyone looked up.

The princess burst into laughter without any regard for her image, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the horrific scene below.

"We lost? We lost? We actually lost?"

She still can't believe that her brother has lost.

"Little sister! Quick, kill this damned emperor!"

Upon seeing this, the King of Gaoliang immediately shouted loudly.

However, now that the situation was settled, the princess wanted to order the guards to capture the emperor, but no one dared to make a move.

suddenly!

The princess's gaze was fixed on the figure in the corner.

"Xiao Yuheng, aren't you very capable? Today, I will see whether you choose the throne or a beauty!"

As she spoke, the eldest princess immediately sent someone to drag the unconscious Su Fuying over.

The moment the man below saw the person again, his eyes turned cold.

"Release her, and I will spare your life."

"Hahaha, release her? I'll make her pay with her death!"

The eldest princess, her face contorted with madness, shoved Su Fuying to the edge of the city wall, staring down at the scene with fervent excitement. "Withdraw your troops now and enthrone me as your ruler, and I will release her. Otherwise..."

"court death!"

Xiao Yuheng caught his breath, but at that moment, someone gently patted his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, do not panic. The more flustered you are, the more leverage she will have."

Pei Taiwei's lips trembled slightly, and his fists clenched at his sides, but he knew in his heart that the overall situation should be the priority now.

"She is not a bargaining chip, she is my life!"

The man practically roared from his throat, veins bulging on his neck, as he dragged Gao Liangwang over, saying, "His life should be more valuable."

"No, no, no, Ninth Brother is wrong. What do I need him for? What I've always wanted is this empire!"

The eldest princess laughed maniacally, while the King of Gaoliang's expression gradually turned cold.

"Xiao Muyue, I am your own brother, born of the same mother!"

"So what? Since ancient times, the victor has been king. Now that you have lost, what right do you have to compete with me!"

The princess became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she were already sitting on the throne in the Golden Palace.

.......

What followed was a scene of the two arguing and cursing at each other, which Su Fuying was not interested in, and Xiao Yuheng was too lazy to continue.

but......

"What happened to the King of Gaoliang in the end?"

Su Fuying was also somewhat curious.

"I myself beheaded him!"

Xiao Yuheng noticed that his aura had turned noticeably colder. Belatedly realizing the worried gaze beside him, he explained, "After publicly defying his superiors and slandering court officials, His Majesty ordered him to be executed on the spot to deter those who would commit treason."

"slander?"

"Ah."

"Before he died, he wanted to drag people down with him, and he slandered Grand Commandant Pei for returning to the capital without an imperial edict, saying that I was falsely conveying the imperial decree."

The man patiently explained.

"That imperial edict..."

Su Fuying naturally knew about the imperial edict; he had seen it himself at the border that day. It was an imperial edict summoning Grand Commandant Pei back to the capital to suppress the rebel army.

That's why he was able to confidently tell his father and brothers that they would definitely be able to return to the capital.

"Of course it's fake, I just wrote it randomly."

The man smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, it's just a matter of a word from my royal brother."

Su Fuying laughed along, realizing she had overlooked this point.

"Alright, you've just woken up, rest a bit more. I'm going to handle military affairs, and I'll come pick you up later to go to the palace for the banquet."

The man reached out and gently stroked the woman's soft hair, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"it is good."

Su Fuying responded softly, her eyelashes lowered.

After everyone left, Su Fuying immediately sat up, "Biluo."

Biluo trotted over, her face full of gossip, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by her young mistress.

"Change your clothes and enter the palace."
