Shangguan Wan suddenly thought that using the method to deal with Wu Dan against the Thunder King seemed to be a pretty good choice.
As a result, he revealed his true appearance in front of Rui Wang. Of course, it was a deceptive act that others could not see, and only Rui Wang could see.
When a giant fox face suddenly appeared in front of them, anyone would be shocked.
With this shock, the Rui Wang Sutra fainted.
At first, Mingjin was a little confused, but when he saw the craftiness in Shangguan Wan's eyes, he suddenly realized that this woman must have used some sort of demonic technique.
Shangguan Wan walked to Nangong Yu's side and calmly said, "You're not tired with holding him by the neck."
Before the two men could react, her hand calmly exerted its strength. The sword had already cut through Mingjin's throat.
She did not feel guilty for killing someone. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.
Some people did deserve to die. If they didn't die, they wouldn't be able to calm their anger.
After finishing the work, the corpse was carried out of the palace. The palace was cleaned up once more and the Southern Yan Emperor's birthday celebration continued. It was still a joyous occasion, as if the conspiracy never happened.
This could also be considered to be a simple act of makeup.
The only person who could prove the existence of the conspiracy was in prison, waiting for the end of fall.
Shangguan Wan actually didn't quite agree with this matter. She really didn't understand why dealing with criminals had to wait until the fall. Wouldn't it be easier to let them die now?
However, Nangong Yu advised, "Letting the Rui King live while awaiting death is the best punishment."
It had to be said that the words of the Emperor indicated that he was a vicious person as well.
However, King Rui did not fulfill the wishes of the people. The flesh on his body was being sliced off piece by piece, so he didn't want to die in such a useless manner.
Thus, he found a less useless method and crashed into a wall, dying.
Prince Rui's household was completely exterminated. What a pity for those servants, they died for no reason at all.
The Consonance Pavilion had also closed down. There was no longer King Rui in this world, nor was there the little prince of Mingjin. The brothels also lost a benefactor.
After the birthday celebration, the foreign ministers began returning to their countries one after another.
Shangguan Wan sent over ten jars of Hundred Blossom Wine affectionately.
"Just a small gift, no respect at all."
Her Royal Highness seemed to have received a precious treasure, her smile was resplendent. "Thank you, Your Highness. I, Luo Fan, am willing to cooperate with you for a hundred years."
After the guests had all left, Shangguan Wan returned to the Fragrance Palace. Nangong Yu was in the middle of discussing matters with Chu Jingli.
"NATO has suffered heavy losses this time. It is estimated that it will return very soon."
The Nato monarch was too stupid, that was why he was used by King Rui. Now that King Rui was dead, they did not get any benefits. Naturally, it was to avenge their old grudges and new grudges.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. This humble subject will definitely protect Xuan Yue with my life." Chu Jingli was resolute and decisive.
Shangguan Wan was touched, if not for General Chu's timely arrival, the consequences would have been dire.
"Great General's heartlessness can be seen from this world. I am deeply impressed."
"No need to be so polite." Shangguan Wan raised her hand. It had to be said, General Chu was a good man with great martial arts. He should be the hero for many young ladies.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a young woman, but a three-hundred-year-old fox.
Nangong Yu stood up. "There's going to be a war between Xuan Ye and NATO at this moment, so it's not convenient for me to stay in Nanyan. I plan to head back to the palace as soon as possible."
"Then I'll go back as well." Shangguan Wan did not hesitate.
This was what Nangong Yu was waiting for. Although Nan Yan was safe now, if she accompanied him back, that would be for the best.
The Son of Heaven returning to court was naturally extremely busy. While dealing with the affairs of the court, he also wanted to discuss with Chu Jingli about a strategy to defend against the enemy. He stayed up all night, and his body was becoming thinner and thinner.
Shangguan Wan was also not in the mood to look for the Aral Dawn Wood, she had always been a good, quiet "good wife and mother".
"Your majesty, are you tired? Take a rest and drink some porridge." Shangguan Wan sensibly brought over a bowl of her own porridge.
"Put it down. We'll drink it later." He looked up and smiled, then turned back to his reading.
If it were the Shangguan Wan of the past, she would definitely grab the paper in his hands, throw it on the ground, step on it until it shattered, and then order at him, "You give it to me! I won't forgive you if I don't drink! "
Not now, she wanted to be well-mannered and generous. Although it was only temporary, it could still be considered a special change in a special situation.
"Mm. Then your majesty should pay attention to your body and rest early." She blessed her body and withdrew.
In fact, she felt a little disappointed. She didn't blame him for neglecting her because of the imperial court. It was just that she wasn't used to it without his company.
She loved and hated him now, and the death of Rachel had planted a grudge against him in her heart, but he was a good husband to her.
In the middle of the night, she felt warmth around her, and when she opened her eyes to the moonlight, she saw him sleeping beside her.
He was too tired and slept soundly.
Sometimes, when a woman's maternal love was overflowing, it was really impossible to stop it.
She gently held him in her arms. The dignified seven foot man was curled up in her arms like a kitten.
This also showed that she was the only one who could subdue him, Nangong Yu.
When she opened her eyes the next morning, he was still there.
In the past, he often went to the royal study before dawn.
He was a good emperor. Everyone only knew how to be one, but they didn't see it. Being an emperor was also a very difficult job.
Especially for an emperor like Nangong Yu, it was even more difficult. He could have pushed many things to his subordinates, but he was afraid that without his supervision, others wouldn't treat him with caution. Thus, he could only sacrifice himself.
"Did the empress sleep well last night?" Nangong Yu asked with a smile.
Lin Zi came in and dressed him in a skilled manner.
Shangguan Wan rose from the bed. "Your majesty sleeps well, so I sleep well."
"Why is the Queen's mouth so sweet?" It was rare for him to have a few words with her when he was free.
Shangguan Wan curled her lips. Didn't they say she would put on an act of affection in front of others?
However, since Lin Lin was here, she changed the topic. "How is the battle going?"
"Don't worry. The sky won't collapse even with Jing Li here." Nangong Yu was quite confident in his good friend.
"I'll have to trouble the empress to fully supervise the bestowal of the empress dowager."
Shangguan Wan nodded, "Your concubine knows that the war is tight now, and the treasury's silver taels are to be used for the war, so you don't have to be too serious about this, or else we'll send someone to find out."
Having been a queen for so long, she understood how to comply with the hearts of the people.
The more they were in danger, the more they could not be overtly known. Otherwise, what would the common people think?
"The empress is deeply in my heart indeed."
