The night was as dark as ink, slowly enveloping the entire capital city.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, filling the night sky of the capital with a dead silence.

At this moment, the guards were dragging the An family members towards the mass grave, ruthlessly abandoning them as if they were just a pile of worthless garbage.

In this dark moment, An Qinghuan was alone in the cell, sitting there quietly, watching everything in front of her calmly.

Suddenly, a mysterious woman appeared outside the cell, wearing a black cloak, her figure looming in the darkness.

The woman walked quietly into the cell, her steps light and silent.

When she entered the cell, she gently took off her cloak, revealing a fierce face.

An Qinghuan recognized her at a glance - Queen Li Qianwan.

Li Qianwan's eyes were cold and sharp, with a sneer on her lips. She made no secret of her pride and cruelty, and said to An Qinghuan, "You are so patient!"

An Qinghuan looked at her expressionlessly, without the slightest fear or surprise. She knew this day would come sooner or later, but she had never expected it to come so soon.

Li Qianwan continued, "All of you An family members are dead! His Majesty's decree has been issued. The An family is treasonous! All of you should be given poisoned wine!"

Upon hearing the news, An Qinghuan's heart suddenly tightened, but she remained calm.

She knew it was just a casualty of a power struggle, and she and her family had become victims.

An Qinghuan looked at Li Qianwan calmly, her voice soft but firm: "This treason is not justifiable, you only dare to use poisoned wine in prison! Otherwise, how can you silence the world's gossips!" Her eyes revealed a kind of unyielding and contempt, as if she had already seen through the hypocrisy and cowardice of the person in front of her.

Li Qianwan was enraged by An Qinghuan's words. She raised her hand and slapped her hard, roaring: "Bitch! I have tolerated you for a long time! In the past, you had the support of His Majesty and the An family, and I couldn't do anything to you! Now, I want to watch you die!" Her eyes flashed with anger and jealousy, and she wished she could tear An Qinghuan to pieces.

However, facing Li Qianwan's brutality, An Qinghuan did not flinch. Instead, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. She slowly raised her hand, gently stroked her cheek, then without hesitation, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp!

Li Qianwan widened her eyes, watching An Qinghuan drink the poisoned wine in disbelief. A smug smile appeared on her face, and she laughed heartily: "Hahaha! You have been fighting with me for so many years! But you still died in the end!" Her laughter was full of pleasure and the pleasure of revenge, as if she had finally avenged herself.

Li Qianwan walked out of the prison happily, a smug smile on her face. However, as she was about to step onto the carriage, a wasp suddenly flew out of the darkness. It rushed straight towards Li Qianwan at an extremely fast speed and stung her fiercely at the corner of her mouth.

Li Qianwan felt a sharp pain and screamed involuntarily. She lost her balance and fell directly onto the carriage. Due to the force of the fall, her forehead hit the carriage board violently, and a large bump instantly appeared.

At this moment, Xiao Jinghan stood quietly in the shadow of a large tree by the roadside, watching everything unfold before his eyes with a cold gaze. He was filled with disgust and anger towards Li Qianwan, believing that she deserved her punishment. Luo Lingyue stood aside, a cunning glint in her eyes.

"Don't stab her to death, I want her to watch everything she has being destroyed!" Xiao Jinghan said coldly.

Luo Lingyue chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't let her die easily. At most, she will just swell up like a pig's head. She actually dared to hit my aunt, this punishment is just a small lesson for her." After saying that, she showed a satisfied smile.

When Li Qianwan returned to the palace to seek medical advice, her head had swollen like a pig's and her eyes were barely open! She felt like a monster and was terrified.

The imperial physician could only shake his head when he saw this, and then took out the ointment to treat bee venom and gave it to the queen. After the queen applied the ointment, the redness and swelling on her face gradually subsided, but some marks were still left.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince and Li Mingfu were discussing matters in the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince looked at the military talisman on the desk, feeling somewhat pleased with himself.

Now, except for the three states in Shang Boxian's hands, all the other military orders of Dazhao are in his hands! He believes that as long as he has enough troops, he can defeat the King of Qin and become the real emperor.

However, the prince's brows were tightly knitted together. Because he knew that these three continents were not only a battleground for Dazhao's military strategists, but also a focus of competition among the people of the world.

If he could not obtain the military seals of the three states, it would be difficult for him to compete with the King of Qin. Moreover, since he had previously caused Shang Wei to become a eunuch, Shang Boxian would definitely stand on the side of the King of Qin.

Just when Li Mingfu was in a state of panic, a young eunuch hurried over and whispered a few words in the prince's ear.

Upon hearing this, the prince's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said to the eunuch, "Quick! Go and invite him in!"

The young eunuch left immediately and soon came back with a tall man. The man was wearing a hat and a silver mask, so his features could not be seen clearly.

Seeing the prince, the man took off his mask. Li Mingfu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Kong Boda! You are not dead!"

Kong Boda smiled and said to Li Mingfu, "Prime Minister! Long time no see! I am the leader of Emperor Wen's secret guards!"

Li Mingfu was startled, then came to his senses and asked, "You've been faking your death all these years, is it just to become the leader of Emperor Wen's secret guards?"

Kong Boda bowed his head and replied respectfully, "This is the will of the late emperor. I dare not disobey."

Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly stood up and, with a smile on his face, personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Kong Boda: "Mr. Kong, please take a seat! Taste this cup of tea and see if it suits your taste."

Kong Boda smiled and nodded, then sat down gracefully. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he put it down and carefully took out an exquisite brocade box from his arms. He handed it to the prince and said solemnly, "Your Highness, I have come here today to help you ascend to the supreme throne!"

The prince's eyes widened, an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart. He eagerly took the brocade box and gently opened the lid. In an instant, his eyes froze - inside the brocade box was the imperial seal he had long dreamed of and searched for!

This jade seal represented the symbol of imperial power; possessing it meant possessing the entire world. The prince gripped the seal tightly, feeling its heft, as if the entire country was in his grasp.

Li Mingfu smiled proudly and said, "Congratulations, Prince!"
