Deputy General Hai quickly scratched his head and said respectfully, "Oh...oh, I'll go right away!"

They hurriedly returned to the city wall.

General Du, standing outside the city, shouted, "Ha, Fenglin Kingdom is nothing more than this, they don't even care about the lives of their own people..."

Han Zixuan, if you don't come out now, the knife in my hand will fall!

"After you die, you must tell King Yama that you died because of Han Zixuan!"

He then looked at the dozen or so people kneeling on the open ground with a fierce gaze.

He raised his long sword high, the sunlight shining on the tip of the blade, creating a dazzling light!

Just then, the heavy city gate made a dull sound and slowly opened outwards.

Han Zixuan was clad in silver armor, a long sword gripped tightly at her waist, its cold light gleaming along the edges of the armor.

She mounted her horse, and the moment its hooves touched the ground, she galloped off. The dark cloak behind her was whipped about by the wind, fluttering like surging flames.

Hundreds of cavalrymen followed closely behind, their armor clanging loudly across the field.

Han Zixuan sat upright on the horse, her profile sharp and sculpted, her gaze sweeping across the open field ahead.

His eyes showed no emotion, only an icy calm.

Hearing the commotion, General Du slowly came to his senses and looked at the crowd galloping forward on horseback.

With a slight smile, he said, "Here they come!" He then gave a signal to those behind him and stood motionless.

Han Zixuan led her troops to a stop in front of the crowd of people and tightened the reins.

He said in a cold tone, "Your country is truly extremely insidious."

There's a saying among nations that innocent people shouldn't be harmed... Doesn't the Eastern Kingdom fear being ridiculed by the world for doing this?

Even though they've moved to another time and space, this shameless behavior is still something they're keen on.

A leopard can't change its spots...

Just like those shameless people of today.

General Du finally met the person whom the Third Prince was so wary of.

He spoke in a deep voice, "This must be Lady Han, Commandant Han... It's truly a sight to behold!"

He chose to ignore what Han Zixuan had said before.

Han Zixuan's eyes swept over the people who were tied together.

They were dressed in rags, ranging from elderly people in their fifties and sixties to toddlers as young as three or five.

They really have no scruples...

"I've seen them... Release these innocent civilians. If you're going to fight, then fight fair and square!"

General Du sneered, "Commander Han, don't be hasty."

His Highness the Third Prince has a few words he wishes to say to Lady Han!

Having said that, he stepped aside, and a magnificent carriage came from behind.

After the carriage came to a stop, the curtain was gently lifted, and a warm figure slowly emerged from inside the carriage.

He rested one hand lightly on his shoulder, his fingertips slender and white as jade, while his other hand quietly rested on the attendant's arm.

With this barely perceptible support, the back is straight, the steps are light yet steady, and there is a natural air of composure.

It was as if they were stepping not off a carriage, but from the clouds into the mortal world.

That ethereal face remained calm and serene, though it was paler than usual.

Like jade covered with a thin layer of snow, it not only did not lose its charm in the slightest, but instead added a touch of aloofness that kept people at a distance, making it seem even more unapproachable.

Upon seeing Han Zixuan again, he tried his best to appear extremely calm.

His gaze met Han Zixuan's eyes intently, and then he felt a stinging pain in his wound, and said coldly.

"Han Zixuan... I've come today to use these people to negotiate a condition with you!"

Han Zixuan looked sharply at the trembling people and said, "Talk about conditions... what conditions?"

"Han Zixuan, I know you are not simple, you are not someone to be underestimated."

How could she willingly submit to someone else? Doesn't she long for that position, second only to the emperor?

The tender words seemed to have a magical power, each syllable landing in Han Zixuan's ears.

He didn't believe anyone could resist supreme power!

Especially capable people like Han Zixuan.

Wealth, honor, and the power of life and death are all in one's own hands; no one would refuse such a thing.

Han Zixuan sneered inwardly after hearing this, and said calmly, "Oh, what does Your Highness Wen mean?"

Little brat, trying to sow discord with her is laughable.

Without him saying anything, if she really wanted to rebel and become the most valuable person in the world, would he even need to say it here?

The title "second only to the emperor" sounds nice, but how many emperors actually died of old age?

Endless work, exhaustion, constant vigilance against being plotted against and killed, even by one's own child's rebellion...

There's no good way to die anyway; she must be out of her mind to want to be emperor.

No one could compare to her happiness and bliss with her husband and children.

Having resolved the matter of Dongsang Kingdom, she and Feng Xiyue shook their heads and took their husbands on a trip to enjoy the scenery!

This is much better than working hard all day long!

Wen Qing remained confident and calmly replied when Han Zixuan asked her a question.

"A talent like Lady Han should not be overlooked. If you are willing, I wish you to become the new Empress of Fenglin..."

He first kept Han Zixuan calm, and when she relaxed, he would then use the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Before he could finish speaking, Han Zixuan suddenly burst into laughter.

Wen Qing frowned, but then heard Han Zixuan say, "Hehe... Third Prince Wen, did you also fool Feng Wanqing like this before!"

This sentence truly made Wen Qing's expression falter, and she gritted her teeth and said calmly.

"I don't know what Lady Han is saying..."

Whether you know it or not is no longer that important; I can hear your scheme from two miles away!

"Ha, you still support me as the new emperor of Fenglin? Would you really be willing... Don't assume everyone is as brainless as Feng Wanqing!"

Feng Wanqing, "Speak up for me!"

"You've been plotting this for years, how could you possibly be willing to submit and submit..."

You are, after all, the Third Prince of Dongsang Kingdom. With such scheming, I'm afraid other princesses and princes would fall at your hands.

Becoming the ruler of Dongsang Kingdom is a given, why bother seeking validation in Fenglin Kingdom all the way here…

Upon hearing this, General Du broke out in a cold sweat and secretly glanced at Wen Qing.

The Third Prince's wariness of Han Zixuan is indeed remarkable.

The warm hand unconsciously tightened, and the calm smile on his face was gone, replaced by an extremely gloomy expression.

Han Zixuan had undoubtedly laid his intentions and thoughts bare...

And everything she said was true. "Han Zixuan, you really know me very well..."

"As you said, I am ambitious and my eyes are not only on Dongsang Kingdom but on the entire world... I am unwilling to be subordinate to anyone!!"

Why is it that in this world, women hold power while men stay at home to care for their wives and raise their daughters...?

I believe that my talent and cunning are second to none among women.

Why can't I become the emperor of this world?!

When he got excited, he didn't feel any pain in his shoulder injury.

He didn't feel a thing as blood seeped from his shoulder.

He exuded an aura of dominance over the world.

Even Han Zixuan couldn't help but secretly applaud.

Ambitious and capable, she opposes this era of female supremacy.

She is worthy of respect, just like the dynasty she lived in.

That extraordinary empress…

However... such deeply ingrained ideas are not easy to break!
