He tossed and turned, unable to sleep in peace, waiting for the assassins to return.
For some reason, it was hard for Liu Min to calm down.
As long as she succeeded in killing Xiao Qianhan, she would start framing him. She would still not need to fear Yun Mojin, and she would also be able to take the opportunity to recruit Yue Lan, allowing him to be used by her. At that time, Yue Lan had no other choice but to become a grasshopper on a string with her.
But why had the assassins not returned yet?
"Aunt Zhang." Liu Min shouted towards the outside.
It was also hard for Aunt Zhang to fall asleep. After hearing Liu Min's call, she walked in from outside, "Empress."
"The killer hasn't come back yet, could something have happened?" Liu Min asked with furrowed brows.
Aunt Zhang shook her head, "This servant doesn't know either." In truth, she could more or less guess, that those assassins had all failed. In fact, this time ambushing Xiao Qianhan was definitely not a wise move. The moment Yun Mojin and Xiao Qianhan saw the killer, they would not suspect anyone else, they would only suspect the empress. Because, Princess Yue Lan would definitely not act rashly.
Liu Min suddenly regretted it a little, as if she was too angry at that moment to ignore the Aunt Zhang's persuasion and order, "Yun Mojin will definitely guess that I sent those assassins out."
"Empress, there is no path of retreat now." Aunt Zhang sighed deeply, then shook her head as she replied.
Liu Min's expression suddenly changed.
He just sat there and waited until the sun rose.
Liu Min suddenly closed her eyes, and even the color of her lips was somewhat pale, "One wrong move, one wrong step, wrong move. This move of mine was too wrong." The mistake was so bad that there was no place to turn back to.
The Aunt Zhang let out a deep sigh, "Empress, you seldom act on impulse, so you have never made any decisions that you would make over the years. However, today, you suddenly have to kill Xiao Qianhan no matter what, because you saw that Xiao Qianhan was uncontrollable and your highness the crown prince grasped the evidence of the Empress's clandestine relationship back then, so the Empress impatiently wanted to kill Xiao Qianhan and take control of the situation through Princess Yue Lan. "But the Empress has forgotten that His Highness the Crown Prince has planned everything and knows all about you. When the Empress sent out her assassins, the Empress already had no way to retreat." There was one more point that she did not mention, and that was that the crown prince had held onto the evidence for many years but had never tried to retaliate. This meant that the crown prince had been too lazy to attack the Empress, but now it was different.
Liu Min collapsed onto the bed.
"But the Empress still has a chance of survival." Aunt Zhang suddenly thought of something and immediately said.
Liu Min looked at Aunt Zhang. She trusted Aunt Zhang very much, and she had been warned by him when she had almost taken a wrong step over the past few years. It was only because she did not listen to Aunt Zhang that she had made the wrong move this time.
"Empress, do you remember Princess Yue Lan saying that the current Xiao Qianhan is probably a fake? If you can prove that this Xiao Qianhan is not Xiao Qianhan, then your Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not do anything to you. " Aunt Zhang thought very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had made his decision.
Hearing that, Liu Min's eyes lit up.
Yue Lan once again received a letter that Liu Min sent over.
The moment he saw the letter, Yue Lan's expression changed greatly. How could Liu Min be so foolish? In a place with Yun Mojin, unless it was a place like the Chiqing Mountain, he definitely could not act rashly towards Xiao Qianhan! Yet, Zhang Min had attacked so quickly. Wasn't that just courting death?
Suddenly, Yun Mojin clearly understood why she did not do anything behind Liu Min's back despite knowing that Liu Min had been up to mischief all these years. It turned out it was because Liu Min was not smart enough! Even if there were small movements behind her back, it was impossible for him to do anything big.
This stupid thing was actually done by the Beiming Nation Queen!
To still think that he could use the name of the true and false Xiao Qianhan to dispel the killing intent in Yun Mojin's heart, this was truly wishful thinking. Regardless if Xiao Qianhan was real or fake, Yun Mojin would never forgive Zhang Min.
Liu Min who thought that he could take control of everything had to pay the price for his stupidity today!
"Even if we expose Xiao Qianhan's true face, it should be me doing it." Yue Lan lit the letter by placing it on a candle flame. The light of the candle flame reflected in his eyes, and his eyes burned with a fiery light of vengeance.
Xiao Qianhan and Yun Mojin's counterattacks were both fast and urgent.
An official of the imperial court took out a piece of evidence regarding Liu Min's secret relationship with another person. The moment Emperor of Darknorth saw the evidence, he immediately felt that he had worn a green hat too firmly and felt that it was extremely shameful. He immediately annulled his position as Empress Liu Min and did not give his any chance to defend himself.
Liu Min's family, upon learning of this matter, immediately went to the palace to beg for mercy in front of the emperor. The emperor was furious, and immediately declared that the Liu family was not allowed to enter the palace in the future.
Liu Min, who had been sent to the cold palace, could never have imagined that the miserable end would actually come so quickly, so quickly that she was caught unprepared! Before Yue Lan could reply, before anyone could prove Xiao Qianhan's authenticity, she had already been sent to the cold palace by an imperial edict!
"Empress, don't lose your confidence. We still have a chance to start again." Aunt Zhang looked at the guards outside the door of the cold palace and said confidently.
Liu Min soullessly shook her head. "I don't even have the strength to retaliate, and have allowed Yun Mojin to completely defeat me in a single night. How would I have the chance to leave this heavily guarded cold palace?"
"No, the Empress has a chance. As long as His Highness the crown prince leaves the Beiming Nation, after the emperor's anger is almost gone, we can find a way to contact the Zhang Family and take this opportunity to splash all the dirty water onto Xiao Qianhan! At that time, the Empress will be able to return to the position of Empress in glory once more. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince were to return, it would already be a foregone conclusion. Aunt Zhang said in a deep voice.
Liu Min's eyes lit up.
A small white shadow entered through the half-open window, making no sound. Neither of them noticed.
After knowing that there was still a way to turn the situation, Liu Min swept a dejected look on her face. Just as she was about to drink a cup of tea to moisten her throat, she realised that she had drank a cup. Seeing that, Aunt Zhang immediately went to grab a teapot and filled Liu Min's cup with tea.
After Liu Min took a sip of the tea, she sighed lightly, "The taste of this tea is really hard to swallow. Aunt Zhang, once I leave the palace, I will think of all sorts of ways to kill Xiao Qianhan, and even more so, use all sorts of methods to cripple the position of Crown Prince!"
Aunt Zhang frowned, thinking of ways to cripple the crown prince? This seems to be...
Just as she was about to open her mouth to persuade him, Liu Min suddenly fell from his chair and foamed at the mouth. The light that had just ignited in his eyes suddenly vanished.
"Empress!"
The Beiming Nation Queen had been crippled for no more than half a day, and then another message came from the palace. Liu Min knew she had committed a grave crime and had let the Emperor down, so she took the poison and committed suicide.
When they heard about this, all the citizens of the Beiming Nation burst into an uproar!
Xiao Qianhan stroked Xiao Miao's fine and soft fur as she listened to the news that Qian Zi had eavesdropped.
"Liu Min deserves it, who told her to want to kill her master! Hmph, the moment the crown prince attacked, Liu Min didn't even have a chance to retaliate! Furthermore, Master had created this unique poison pill, so Liu Min's death definitely would not raise any suspicions. Perhaps even to the point of her death, Liu Min did not know why she was so thoroughly defeated in a short two days! " Qian Zi raised her head and sneered.
's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, "Qianhan, we should leave now."
"Alright." Xiao Qianhan immediately replied.
