"It's really the empress …"

Everyone in the hall was staring at the box in her hands, not moving at all.

Li Rui walked into the great hall and lined up with Master Chu, and opened the box in her hands. Inside the box, a golden light shone, and a half oval scale laid on the center of the box.

The magic thing about dragon scales is that they can shine through colorful clouds when they meet water. They can emit strong warm currents in cold places and make the space dark and cool in hot summer days.

The tattoo on the back was an eye glowing with a golden light, and the black pearl in the middle had the effect of intimidating the vicious beasts. Legend has it that there is a role of statehood, so the dragon's scale became the royal treasure of every royal family.

The most important thing was that only people from the royal family could touch it. Ordinary people would get burnt if they touched it, so it was always kept by the royal family. Over time it became a treasure of the royal family.

Master Chu and Master Ting walked to Li Rui's side, to prove that they were from the royal family. The two of them used their hands to hold up the dazzling dragon scales.

"It really is a treasure to suppress the empire. The late emperor appeared, and protected my Heavenly Master!"

Everyone knelt down on the ground, and the auspicious dragon lay prone on the dragon throne. The audience paid their respects!

Master Kan was paralyzed on the ground as he looked up with a wry smile on his face. He had never thought that the national treasure he had been searching for for for three years would actually be in the hands of the previous Empress Li Rui.

With such a treasure, it was impossible for anyone to not be convinced.

After his enthronement, Shi Ting had been given the title of Yan Sheng, with the intention of bringing prosperity to the nation. He had been given the title of Grand Princess Dingping, and had overseen the six divisions of the Three Divisions on behalf of the Young Emperor, the previous Empress had been given the title of Yan Sheng and Empress Dowager, and had taken up residence in the Palace of Peace and Peace for the better part of the year.

Guan Yi bestowed upon Zhen Yi and other government officials to assist the young emperor in managing the military and political power, and to participate in the decision on the rights and interests of the six divisions of the Three Divisions. At this moment, the rewards and punishments given by the other important officials had also established the indestructible throne.

Chu Shikan abrogated the royal title, and together with his family he returned to the bitter and cold lands of North Zhao. This was the lightest punishment that Chu Shiyu had ever given him. From the very beginning, he had never thought of letting his father follow in his footsteps.

After all, the reason for plotting this whole matter was because of the grand master, and even if the teacher was despicable, he still had the surname of Master. If he really did do it, then it would be the entire imperial court that would be wiped out, and it would be no different than being massacred all those years ago.

Sikong Qiancheng was locked in a secret chamber. After he had settled the matter in the imperial court, he had already snuck out of Yan Shi City.

Within the mountain range, a few figures stood at the highest point, watching the two horses gallop forward. With a snap of his fingers, he saw the galloping horse fall to the ground.

She caressed the little white fox on her shoulder and said, "You've done very well. I'll give you a rooster tonight."

The Violet Electricity Spirit Fox used its small head to rub itself against her hair. After a few chirps, it revealed an excited expression.

She smiled as she walked down the mountain, arriving in front of Sikong Qiancheng and a blue-clothed woman who were already surrounded.

The woman stared angrily at Sikong Qiancheng. She used one hand to support Sikong Qiancheng, who was seriously injured and unable to stand. After hearing a few light coughs from Sikong Qiancheng, the woman asked in panic.

"Royal brother, what's wrong? "Don't let anything happen to you. Just wait for me to kill that slut, Master Shuang, and take revenge for you." The woman said while supporting Sikong Qiancheng!

Lan'er and the Mentor looked at each other, showing no fear.

"You called her 'royal brother', so she must be the Seventh Princess of Dazhong Country, Sikong Qianqi, right?"

Sikong Qiqi was stunned for a moment before she turned around and said angrily: "So what if that's the case? If you imprison my royal brother and torture him to death, I will definitely report to royal father and have him send troops to the Heavenly Master to flatten the entire Yan Shi. "

"Alright then, I'll kill you guys first so that you won't be able to return to the main warehouse."

Lan'er pulled out her sword, approaching Sikong Qian Cheng and Sikong Qian Qi who were covered in blood step by step, and cut off one of Sikong Qian Cheng's arms.

Sikong Qianqi was shocked. Several silver needles flew out from her sleeves and headed straight for her heart.

"Courting death …"

Chu Shiyu let out a cold snort, turned around and bounced out. A few silver needles hit the branch behind her, and the dagger left her arm. It directly approached Sikong Qiqi and made a crack on her face.

"You … "Ugh …"

Before Sikong Qianqi had the chance to fight back, a few sharp weapons had already been placed on her neck. He originally thought that he would land in the hands of Chu Shiyu this time, that he could only hear the clashing of weapons around him, and arrows flying in all directions, hitting the swords that were at the necks of Sikong Qiancheng and Sikong Qianqi.

A group of elite soldiers came flying over. Seeing that something was wrong, the teacher immediately called out!

"Retreat ~"

The Mentor brought his men and fled into the jungle, watching as the Sikong Qiancheng siblings were rescued.

In the forest, Lan'er asked in confusion, "Princess, we could have killed them, but Big Cang will send out troops sooner or later. Why did he let them go?"

Master Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Kill them..." Right now, Heavenly Masters do not have the ability to contend with Big Cang, and letting them go may help Master delay his time. If he really kills the two of them and infuriates Sikong Xun, then Heavenly Masters will truly face a crisis! "

How could she possibly want to let the two of them leave? Sikong Qiancheng and Sikong Qianqi returned home in a sorry state, the most Sikong Xun could see was that they would be furious for a while.

If the two corpses were to go back, Sikong Xun would become furious and immediately send troops to suppress them.

Back in the palace, Chu Shiyu was called to the Peace Palace by the Queen Mother. Originally, she was curious about why her mother suddenly brought out the treasure of the Empire. She had never heard of putting that treasure there.

The Queen Mother, on the other hand, took it out at the most important moment, saving her little brother the trouble of ascending the throne, and also saving her a lot of worries.

Li Rui quietly stood by the window, looking up at the starry sky. Ever since she had returned to the Imperial Palace, it had been like a nightmare. Too many people had died in the coup that year.

Not only was it Chu Shiyu's nightmare, it was also Li Rui's nightmare. No matter how young he was, he was still a child. And Li Rui experienced the pain of losing her husband, the pain of losing her son was far more painful than Chu Shiyu.

Li Rui was thinking back to many years ago!

That year, she had married the prince's Master Chu as the daughter of the Imperial Tutor. She was not the daughter of the Imperial Tutor, but rather, she had transformed into the daughter of the Imperial Tutor and snuck into the Imperial City.

Later Li Rui found out that she really loved Master Chu, despite the opposition of her people, and gave birth to a pair of children for him.

Master Chu loved her a lot, and from then on he was pampered by her and given her a title! One day, Master Chu found out about her identity, but he didn't expose her.

In the past, Li Rui had never mentioned this to anyone.

"The Queen Mother still hasn't rested?"

Her voice roused Li Rui from her deep thoughts. When she turned around, she saw that her mother was crying!

"Ah Yu, you should want to know why Imperial Treasure is in the hands of Imperial Mother, right?"

"Could it be that royal father gave it to mother long ago?"

Li Rui heaved a long sigh and continued, "It wasn't given to me by your father, but rather stolen by me. That year …"
