“That’s right, Lord God. If you have a grudge against our father, you can seek revenge on him. How can you make things difficult for us juniors?”

The princes all objected.

They did not want to die, much less be reborn as animals for ten lifetimes, for this would be a great disgrace to them.

"Even at a time like this, you still can't let go of your identity as the son of the Heavenly Emperor? You and your father are just as selfish!" Song Xi raised her eyes and looked at the Heavenly Emperor. "Fine, they don't want a way out anyway, so you should deal with your own wicked son yourself."

Having said all that, Song Xiwei had nothing more to add.

The Heavenly Emperor looked troubled, glancing at his unfilial sons with a look of exasperation. "You scoundrels! The Divine Lord gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Do you really want to be reduced to ashes right here in the Lingxiao Palace?"

Upon hearing that they were to be annihilated, the princes panicked completely.

"Father, please spare your child..."

"Father... Waaah..."

"Useless!" Seeing his sons crying and behaving inappropriately, the Heavenly Emperor felt that he had lost all face.

"Guards, escort these princes to the animal realm. Only after ten lifetimes of reincarnation in the animal realm can they be reborn as humans." The Heavenly Emperor, fearing that Song Xiwei might change her mind, hastily issued the imperial decree.

The princes were immediately banished to the animal realm.

The Heavenly Emperor remained apprehensive and dared not relax.

However, at that moment, a priest suddenly came to deliver a message: "Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Empress has been assassinated!"

The Heavenly Emperor's expression changed. "Oh? Is the Empress alright?"

"The diva... she has tragically passed away..."

"It was the work of Prince Wulai! During the grand banquet, in front of all the immortals, Prince Wulai suddenly went berserk and attacked the Heavenly Empress. The Heavenly Empress was severely injured on the spot and died... The Heavenly Empress's immortal body is still at the banquet venue. Prince Wulai has been taken into custody and is awaiting the Heavenly Emperor's judgment..."

One of the Heavenly Officials was furious and proposed to the Heavenly Emperor: "The Heavenly Empress is the sovereign of the Heavenly Realm. To be poisoned at such a grand banquet is unacceptable. Our Heavenly Realm has always treated Prince Wulai well, yet he dared to commit such a heinous act. Heavenly Emperor, please punish him! The Heavenly Empress needs an explanation!"

Not only were the few celestial officials who reported the incident indignant, but the other immortals were also in a state of chaos.

Song Xi narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Heavenly Emperor, who remained impassive.

Ha, even now, you still want to play tricks on her?

If we could use Xiao Zhuang as a pawn back then, why can't we use the current queen and several princes?

"Your Excellency, what do you think? What should we do about this? Prince Wulai is the most respected guest in our Heavenly Realm. Although he has no real power, no one in the Heavenly Realm does not respect him. Yet he actually dared to lay such a cruel hand on the Empress. The Empress has always been kind and benevolent and has never done anything evil. If this matter is not explained, how can we appease the anger of all the immortals?"

The officials were all surprised as to why the Heavenly Emperor was asking the woman sitting in the chair.

Only then did he realize that this person was not Prince Wulai's servant.

They even occupy the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

Everyone then recalled how the Heavenly Emperor respectfully addressed her as "Lord Goddess."

The Divine Lord? Is it that... Divine Lord?

“Then let’s go to the scene. If the Empress really died at Wu Lai’s hands, he deserves to pay with his life. But if someone has set up a frame-up, no matter who it is, we will not let them get away with it.”

As soon as Song Xiwei finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor's throne in the Lingxiao Palace was already empty.

This is the power of a divine lord, who can come and go as swiftly as the wind even before the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor had just arrived before Song Xiwei, and she arrived right after him.

When Song Xiwei arrived, Wu Lai had already been trapped by the Heavenly Officials and Divine Generals of the Heavenly Realm using an array.

Wulai did not put up any resistance and obediently allowed the formation to suppress him.

This matter is far too serious. Although these celestial officials witnessed him poisoning the Empress, none of them dared to act rashly and take his life. Only the Heavenly Emperor could intervene.
