plan from King Beijiang""I'm afraid I don't know. What I just said was on behalf of our Princess. For the specifics, I'll have to return to Beijiang.""Is the Northern Border Princess truly saying she...At that moment, the Queen was truly furious, wanting nothing more than to pour the poison in her hand down her throat.
Though could finally grit his teeth and bear it, the Queen did nothing.
Because she really didn't dare to gamble.
To kill Xizi Ke'er would be child's play for an emperor like him.
As long as Xizi Ke'er dares to enter this imperial palace, as long as she dares to appear in this vast palace, know that this palace is filled with her people.
She wouldn't believe that she couldn't handle a defenseless Xizi Ke'er.
Especially now, if she wanted to kill Xizi Ke'er, it would be easier than crushing an ant.
But, upon hearing Xizi Ke'er declare with such certainty: "If I die, the Xi Liang Nation will perish," she no longer dared to act rashly.
She could have killed this infuriating and hateful rebellious daughter in front of her, but the fate of Xiliang Country was at stake. Even though what Xi Ziker had just said was very likely just alarmist talk, a way for herself to gain a sliver of hope.
But she still had to be wary, she couldn't afford to gamble.
So, right now with an attitude like that towards Xizi Ke'er, she's clearly furious, wanting to shove the entire glass down her throat, but she just can't bring herself to do it.
She can lose this daughter, but she absolutely cannot lose Xi Liang Nation.
The eunuch standing beside him was trembling all over.
He watched their every move and listened as Princess Ca'er constantly challenged the Emperor.
His legs were already trembling and weak, barely able to hold him up. He cried out in his heart.
My dear little princess!
Why are you doing this to yourself
It's a matter that could be resolved by simply handing over two packages of explosives, yet why insist on clashing with Your Majesty
Though you are a princess, the person before you is His Majesty!
You know Your Majesty's temperament all too well. You know that she yields to softness but resists hardness. The harder you push, the more she wants to get rid of you.
How can you still go against her What exactly is this so-called explosive, more important than life itself Is it worth going against the prince like this
He still remembers how Princess Caier used to be the best at coaxing His Majesty. Now, she's become like this... what a change! How can this be good
What can we do if this continues
He had served by the emperor's side for many years, so he was very clear that His Majesty had already begun to be wary of Princess Caner.
The last thing Cai'er said, it was truly...truly excessive.
He knew His Majesty was furious at this moment, so angry he might even pour the poison in his hand down the prince's throat.
But Your Majesty was afraid of these words, so it couldn't be done.
But Princess Caier's attitude is so unyielding, what can be done
His Majesty had no way out.
She was absolutely fuming and couldn't let it go. What could she do about it It was driving her crazy!
Thinking and thinking, the eunuch was now so anxious that he paced back and forth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
His mind raced, trying to figure out how he could save face for His Majesty.
On the other hand, he was also afraid that if he spoke his mind, he might not solve the emperor's problem but instead make things worse.
Then...that cup of poison in His Majesty's hand, would certainly be poured into his mouth.
Thinking and thinking, the eunuch's eyes suddenly lit up. He lowered his head and pursed his lips.
My heart was torn.
Finally, gritting his teeth as if he had made a determination to go all out, he thought that since today's affairs couldn't be handled properly anyway, he might as well stay in the main hall.
Having witnessed the entire event, even Your Majesty's temperament would not let him go unpunished.
Perhaps I should just take a gamble, what if he...what if he could really give himself a fighting chance
Thinking this way, the eunuch closed his eyes, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and then made his next move.
I saw him raise his foot and walk towards the Emperor, shouting at the same time, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty please don't be impulsive! The princess is your child, you can't be impulsive, Your Majesty...Your Majesty, think carefully."
The eunuch, while yelling, charged toward the Empress and Xizi Ke'er with his foot raised. Immediately after, he seemed to trip accidentally, cried out, "Ah!" and his taut body went straight towards the two women, falling down.
In the next instant, he fell gracefully into the empress's arms.
Immediately, she smashed the queen's goblet to the ground. The poisoned wine spilled everywhere.
Seeing that he had caused trouble, the eunuch's face turned pale. He scrambled forward, prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly towards the empress:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty. I didn't do it on purpose, really, I didn't! Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"
Although this eunuch's loud and incessant cries are very annoying.
But I have to admit, being interrupted like that, with him flinging the glass down, the poisoned wine inside spilled all over the floor.
This actually provided the queen with a direct step down.
The Empress gave him a long, hard look, then her cold eyes narrowed slightly. "Dog servant, I'll deal with you later."
The eunuch's heart, which had been hanging by a thread, instantly plummeted.
Although the emperor said he would deal with him later, he was overjoyed at this moment.
He did it, he really succeeded.
The Queen did not order his death directly, which means that his actions did not anger the Queen.
He was, of course, delighted to have saved his own life.
After the eunuch had moved aside, the Empress turned her gaze to Xi Zi Ke'er, who had already fallen silent.
At this moment, Xizi Ke'er’s deep and mysterious eyes were also fixed on her.
This look further enraged the queen to the point of gnashing her teeth.
The Queen's eyes flashed with fury as she gritted her teeth and spoke, "What did you just mean Are you threatening me Do you truly intend to rebel"
Xizi Ke'er looked calm, her gaze fell on the Empress's face. The more angry the Empress became, the better it suited Xizi Ke'er's plan.
After a moment of silence, she spoke, "Mother has always wanted to put the label of treason on her daughter. But from the moment I was born until now, I have never even thought of being a traitor to Xiliang."
"As the princess of Xiliang, I am well aware of my duty. I have never considered betraying my people and have always dedicated myself to serving them."
"But Mother keeps pressuring her son to admit to rebellion, which truly chills her son's heart."
And Mother, ask yourself this: even if your son handed over those two bags of explosives, would you keep your promise and release him
"Before she could even utter a word, the Empress let out another cold laugh. "No, you would never allow me to live," she said. "You've always seen Xizi as your heir apparent in your heart. You only want her to remain, don't you"
The queen's cold gaze fixed on her, waiting for her next words.
Xizi Ke'er didn't continue to waste time. At this moment, she suddenly took out a jade pendant from her waist, a smile curled at the corner of her mouth, and handed the jade pendant to the female emperor in front of her. were aimed not only at Lin Qingwen but also at An Xuetang and others.Mo Junyi narrowed his eyes, a sneer playing on his lips, and then looked at Xunluo.Xunluo was also waiting for his command.
