to continue sleeping, but Yun Liu came at this moment, saying that there were some things on the front line camp that needed him to deal with.Mo Yunjing just glanced at Yun Liu's expression and seemed...Then she heard her call Xi Zi Pan Er's name directly, and the Empress' anger intensified, "Shut your mouth for me, she is your elder sister, how can you address her by her name."

"Do you still have any regard for the laws of this land Any sense of order and hierarchy Or are you now so arrogant that you don't even respect me"

"Your son dares not. Your son has always respected Your Majesty and the Empress, but today's affair is the Empress's fault. Your Majesty must not listen to her one-sided words and condemn your son."

Actually, Xizi Ke'er knew in her heart that her mother wasn't unaware of the truth, but she chose to ignore it.

Right now, I just want to find an excuse to take back the military power from her hands and confine her to the Princess's Mansion.

But she wasn't a pushover, having made arrangements before entering the palace, and by now it should be about time.

As if on cue, a eunuch rushed in, "Your Majesty, many people have gathered outside the palace. They... they are crying out for justice for the young princess."

"!"

The Queen instantly flew into a rage, “What did you say”

She waved her arms angrily, glaring fiercely at Xizi Ke'er who knelt on the ground. Then she looked at the eunuch who had come in to deliver the message, "Tell me, what's going on"

"To Your Majesty, outside the palace gates...there are many commoners gathered outside the palace gates. They are all kneeling before the palace, pleading for the little princess...they say...say..."

This eunuch who delivered messages didn't know how to convey the people's words.

Because he had been by the Emperor's side for many years, he could tell that the Emperor was extremely angry at this moment. If he accidentally said something, it was very likely to bring him disaster.

This hesitation and stammering, only fueled the Queen's anger further. Had she not been holding a teacup in her hand, she would have smashed it against this eunuch's face right then and there.

"What did you say"

The eunuch, Pu Putong, knelt on the ground with a thud. "The people have been clamoring," he said, "that if Your Majesty insists on punishing the little princess, then they must be punished along with her. But... but they refuse to submit."

"!" The Queen's face was grimly terrifying, "Heh... hehehe..."

Then came a sudden, hysterical laugh.

After a cold laugh, she fixed her gaze on Xizi Ke'er, "I've been in charge of the government for many years, and this is the first time I've heard the people kneeling outside the palace saying they disobey me. Interesting, very interesting."

At this moment, an unprecedented fury raged in the Queen's heart, a hatred that threatened to consume all.

At this time, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Xizi Ke'er kneeling on the ground, she gritted her teeth and uttered something with an unclear meaning:

“I am very much inclined to go and see for myself what your grievances are. Today, I will let you all clearly see who is truly in charge of the Xiliang Kingdom. I am not dead yet, and you all think about climbing on my head and acting presumptuous. How... how good!"

Having said that, the Queen stood up abruptly, let out a heavy humph, and sashayed out.

Xizi Ke'er and Xizi Pan'er also stood up and followed closely behind her after she walked out.

Dead is dead, those around her are all lowly people. What difference does it make if they are tortured to death As long as the male favorite is happy, they have died with purpose.

But who would have thought that this matter was actually brought to light by this woman in front of me, Xi Zi Ke'er

She had only been away from the capital for a few hours, and her beloved male consort had been killed by Xi Zi Pan'er in such a short time.

Today, she absolutely must avenge this grudge.

For so many days, she had sent people to assassinate Xizi Ke'er. Who would have known her life was so great, no matter what they did, they couldn't kill her.

In that case, today we'll take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of her along with your mother. Everyone is looking for a chance to do so anyway.

Thinking this way, she narrowed her eyes slightly. At that moment, she suddenly launched a silver needle from her sleeve at her attacker.

Since learning about Xizi's true face, Xizi Ke'er has always been wary of her.

So, these little tricks don't hurt her at all.

She dodged with ease, the silver needle flying past her and straight into the body of a guard standing nearby.

Once they were far away, the soldier collapsed straight to the ground.

Xizi Ke'er pursed her lips and furrowed her brow. Her elder sister was becoming more ruthless by the day, killing without a second thought. How could she possibly allow such a person to become the heir apparent of Xiliang

At that, she turned back with a thoughtful look, her lips suddenly curling into a sneer. "If Mother knew Her Royal Highness had brought concealed weapons into the palace, I wonder what she would think" thoughts on it and turned to jump onto the roof beam, quietly climbing towards her own house.Safe back in her own room, she finally let out a deep sigh of relief.But for some reason, she suddenly had...
