Chapter 119 - Cutting the Grass and Removing the Roots

Zi Yuan brought her men and carefully opened the door, only to find a handsome man in white armor, her eyes were glistened and her entire body was covered in blood, unable to stop his charm.

"Third Young Master?" Zi Yuan never thought that the person knocking the door would be the Third Young Master. Didn't Du Qingcheng lock the Third Young Master up?

"Fourth Sister, are you alright?"

Qin Luofei heard the sound of voices inside the house and immediately came out.

"Third brother, why is it you?" Qin Luofei saw Third Young Master, but she had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

Behind Qin Zelai were more than ten soldiers, all covered in blood.

Qin Zelai only relaxed when he saw that Qin Luofei was safe and sound.

"Close the door well. There are still some scattered guards outside who haven't been killed. I'll come back and find you after things are settled!"

Qin Luofei nodded and said, "Third brother, you be careful too."

Qin Ze Li fixed his eyes on Qin Luofei and turned to leave.

Qin Luofei ordered the men to close the door again. At least they were slightly relieved.

The faint sounds of fighting could be heard from outside again, which lasted until the morning of the next day before it disappeared completely.

Qin Luofei forced the door open and saw the scattered soldiers cleaning up the corpse inside the palace walls. The ground was covered in blood, causing the spectators' scalps to go numb.

When the soldiers saw them, they only paid a little attention and quickly cleaned up the place. Following that, a eunuch came over to clean up the place.

"Zi Yuan, go to Sister Luo's place immediately, see if there's anything for her. If she's still here, send her to me!" Qin Luofei was currently most worried about Luo Ziyan and Ling Tai.

But the situation was still unclear, and she could not go to Du Qingcheng's place to take Ling Tai away. She could only pray that the heavens did not let Ling Tai be injured.

Qin Zelai did not appear again, and the soldiers gradually retreated, leaving behind a few eunuchs cleaning the harem.

When noon arrived, Zi Yuan brought Luo Ziyan and the two maid s who were by her side over. Fortunately, they had already closed the palace gates and the soldiers did not forcefully charge in, which saved their lives.

"Sister-in-law" Luo Ziyan was still not well, she and another maid supported her.

Qin Luofei went forward to support Luo Ziyan and helped her into the house. Although her body was weak and didn't have any other problems, she was relieved.

"I don't know what happened either." Qin Luofei looked at the chaotic scene outside and instructed Zi Yuan to find out. The rest of the people still closed the palace gates.

Luo Ziyan drank a cup of hot tea to recover her wits, and sighed: "I heard that the Du Family wanted to support the Second Prince to ascend to the throne, but in reality, they wanted the Du Family to become the next Overlord. Who would have known that the Seventh Prince would see through their plan, and borrow the strength of other dukes, and kill the Du Family."

"What?" Qin Luofei was slightly surprised, that monster from the Seventh Prince was actually still alive and had rebelled against him.

"I'm afraid that there is no turning back for the Du Clan this time. And also allowed the Seventh Prince to gain a proper reputation, assassinate these treacherous officials, and attack the Imperial Palace justifiably and justly. "Luo Ziyan smiled bitterly.

Once the Seventh Prince ascended to the throne, the fate of the women of the Emperor could be imagined.

Qin Luofei used to know that the Seventh Prince was ambitious, but she just did not know that his ambition was that great.

"Could it be that he's not afraid of the emperor sending his soldiers back?" Qin Luofei was truly worried for that demon-level character at this moment.

Luo Ziyan shook her head, and said slightly: "I'm afraid that our emperor will never come back. Based on Seventh Prince's character, if it were not for the fact that everything was foolproof, he would not have acted so recklessly. "

Qin Luofei nodded and fell into deep thought.

They were in the rear palace, but they didn't know that the front hall was even more earth-shaking.

Those ministers actually never knew that the silent Seventh Prince would have half of the Yan State's army under his control. In an instant, even the Du Family's troops were under his control.

What made those ministers even more dumbstruck was that the Qin family's third young master, Qin Zelai, was actually of royal bloodline.

In the past, the late emperor had doted on the youngest Ling Wang when he was still alive, but it was a pity that the Ling Wang had a carefree personality and liked to walk around outside.

He fell in love with a commoner, and even agreed to marry her. But in the end, when he returned to Yan City, he unexpectedly became ill and died unexpectedly. However, it was rumored that he was secretly murdered by the Du Family.

When the woman heard the news and arrived in Yan City, she unexpectedly ran into the General Qin, and even found out that she was pregnant.

The General Qin liked this girl, so he took her in as his personal servant, but this woman refused to comply. She even gave birth to the third young master, causing him to die, but left a letter for the third young master, and gave it to his personal servant.

After growing up, the Third Young Master found out about his background and continued to suppress it until the Seventh Prince sent people to find him.

Even though the Seventh Prince was born to the empress dowager, he had always been shameless towards the Du Family. This time's illness, the third young master naturally teamed up with the Seventh Prince and took back the Du Family.

After the disease was successful, Third Young Master Qin Zelai was conferred the title of Ling Wang.

Qin Luofei was dumbstruck. The Third Brother she had always loved was actually a prince. She didn't know what to say.

In the spacious and luxurious hall, the nine-legged spice filled the air with a strange smell of incense, causing one's mind to tremble immediately.

The ministers who were left behind from the battle were dejected. One after another, they received news that caused their bodies to turn cold.

When the Emperor led his troops to break out of the encirclement, he was captured by a foreign race. His whereabouts were unknown, and even the Prince Xi had disappeared without a trace.

Many ministers were secretly guessing in their hearts that all of this was caused by the Seventh Prince and the empress dowager, but with the current situation, how many people would dare to speak their mind?

"The Seventh Prince is here!" Hearing the eunuch's shout, most of the ministers stood up, trembling in fear.

There were less Du Clan members in the court, so there were a lot of empty seats.

Wearing white gold and silver armour, the Seventh Prince walked into the hall while accompanied by the Lord of Ling Wang and the rest of the Fifth Prince.

When the old subjects in the palace saw that the Fifth Prince was also standing on the side of the Seventh Prince, they knew that the tide was up.

Right now, the Emperor's life could not see the death of a human nor his corpse. It was likely that the odds were against him, and the outcome had already been decided.

"I guess you've all heard that your royal brother failed to break out of the encirclement. His whereabouts are unknown, and there's no news about your brother." Seventh Prince's pair of eyes swept across the ministers standing below.

"Everything depends on the Seventh Prince alone!" Those ministers were tactful. Since they were all members of the royal family, it didn't matter who was the emperor.

General Qin looked at Ling Wang beside him, perspiration dripping down his forehead. It was fortunate that he did not treat Ling Wang unfairly, otherwise, his life would have been lost.

"Empress Dowager, the empress dowager has arrived!"

There was the loud voice of a young eunuch singing.

The Empress Dowager and the empress dowager entered the great hall accompanied by many palace concubines.

Qin Luofei's eyes faintly looked towards Ling Wang who was standing beside Seventh Prince. Seeing the golden-silver dragon armor on his body, he became even more handsome and tall.

When the Ling Wang saw Qin Luofei's gaze on him, he grinned at her.

Qin Luofei rolled her eyes at him, provoking the Ling Wang's lips to curl up slightly, as if he had suffered a grievance.

The Seventh Prince beside the Ling Wang also indifferently looked at Qin Luofei. Unfortunately, that woman's gaze never left him from the moment he entered the palace, and he only stared at the Ling Wang beside him, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The Empress Dowager stood majestically in front of the throne in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "I think, you have all heard, that the Emperor is missing, the nation cannot live without a ruler. According to This Dowager's wishes, the Seventh Prince was established as the new ruler, do you have any objections?"

The various ministers looked at each other. Empress Dowager didn't have any objections, how could they?

"We have no objections."

The Empress Dowager nodded and looked at the empress dowager. Although the empress dowager was slightly angered by the Du Family's matter, what the Du Family did was too much. She originally wanted to make Second Imperial Child take the throne, but he knew that the Du Family was too heartless and did not even put the empress dowager in their eyes.

"Then the Ministry of Government and the Department of Revenue should prepare for the ascension of the new Emperor as soon as possible!"

Seventh Prince looked at everyone, and a faint smile leaked out from the corner of his mouth, but that smile was bone-chilling cold.

"Before this king ascends the throne, this king will send the Ling Wang and the General Qin to lead the troops to suppress the barbarians. We must leave someone alive!"

"It's your majesty!" Ling Wang and General Qin came out to express their gratitude.

Qin Luofei ruthlessly grinned. She had just calmed down and sent out her troops, and everyone knew that Seventh Prince was only afraid that the Emperor was still alive. She wanted to cut the weeds and remove the roots.

The new and old emperors were all replaced by the Empress Dowager's mouth, and decided to act rashly.

Qin Luofei glanced at the palace concubines in front of her. There were no longer any concubine among them, and there were no traces of them either.

The Mo and Du Families had always been on good terms, so they couldn't be blamed for being killed by the Seventh Prince. No one knew what would happen to the Consort Mo, let alone the child in her womb.

What made Qin Luofei unhappy was that the Imperial Consort Leng was actually unharmed, but he really couldn't underestimate her.

Right now, the imperial concubines that had fallen were Imperial Consort Leng, Qin Luoyu, Luo Ziyan, Honorable Zhang, concubine Lin, and Qin Luofei.

They looked at each other. The new emperor had ascended the throne, so naturally the new concubine had entered.

She had only been in the palace for less than three years, yet she had already moved to the old concubine's residence in the western courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

"I didn't expect that Little Sister Qin was completely unharmed. I am so happy!" Consort Shu snuggled up to Qin Luofei and laughed in a low voice.

Qin Luofei glanced at Consort Shu hatefully. This demon was still alive no matter what.

"Big sister is fine, how could little sister dare? No matter what, I have to stay with big sister."

"In the future, we sisters will really be together forever!" Consort Shu sighed.

The western courtyard didn't have many palaces, and these old people no longer had their former glory. They would inevitably all be squeezed into one palace.
