Chapter 331 Sweeping Them All

Emperor Jingming was immediately enraged and ordered his men to arrest Queyu.

"How dare the Turks play tricks on my Great Zhou! They pretended to negotiate peace to lower our guard, but in reality, they are pressing in with their army, attempting to invade my Great Zhou's territory!"

"Gao Xun, Su Jinze! I order you to capture the Turkic traitors immediately!"

【Oh no, this is a complete disaster!】

The prince reached out and hugged Qiuqiu back, not forgetting to cover her mouth. What kind of time is this to be sarcastic? Swords have no eyes, aren't you afraid of cutting her down?

Queyu was not one to surrender easily. Suotu immediately seized the knife and launched a counterattack, shouting, "Queen, break out of here!"

Lady Queyu took the knife, swung it back at the approaching guards, and shouted loudly at the stage: "What are you waiting for, Third Prince! How long are you going to recognize a thief as your father!"

Everyone was shocked. Emperor Jingming looked at the Third Prince in a panic, "What did she mean by that?"

The Third Prince now regrets cooperating with the Queyu Clan; that woman is a fool!

Does revealing his true intentions at this point mean he wants them both to die together?

"Queyu, even on your deathbed, you still frame me, the prince! Father, this vixen's heart is wicked!"

Que Yu's face darkened: "How could Jia Canglan have such a cowardly son like you!"

Upon hearing the mention of Naga Canglan, Emperor Jingming's expression instantly changed; he no longer wanted to hear any more of the Third Prince's excuses. Better safe than sorry, he gave Gao Jinbao a single glance, and Gao Jinbao held a sword to the Third Prince's neck.

Gao Jinbao: "Third Prince, I apologize for my offense."

The Crown Prince's sudden attack caught Queyu off guard, and all the troops she brought were left outside the city. Today's palace banquet battle was nothing more than a good show of catching a turtle in a jar.

Although Suotu was slow-witted, he possessed immense strength and was considered the greatest warrior of the Turks. He fought Gao Xun to a standstill, but with the arrival of Su Jinze, the tide of battle turned instantly. The Imperial Guards swarmed forward, and even Suotu's extraordinary abilities were of no use.

With Suotu captured alive, the rest were no longer a threat. General Yun, still sharp as ever, captured Queyu Shi with a single move.

"Why don't you all surrender now!"

The deep, aged voice carried immense power, forged through countless battles. As long as General Yun lived, he would be a nightmare for the entire Turkic people!

Holding the Crown Prince in her arms, Qiuqiu stood at the highest point, watching the chaos unfold not far away, the sounds of battle assaulting her ears. Amidst the countless figures rushing about, she could only make out the imposing figure of her maternal grandfather.

The Crown Prince said to Qiuqiu, "General Yun is truly the undisputed God of War of the Great Zhou!"

He went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen, spent his life on the battlefield, and protected two generations of emperors. This is a true pillar of the nation!

Chuchu is super proud; her maternal grandfather is definitely the best!

At the same time, it's a little heartbreaking that even such a tough man's health deteriorated rapidly after learning of the deaths of his daughter and several grandchildren, and he eventually died under the sword of the Turks.

In the original storyline, her maternal grandfather died in battle after a bad start, the Yun family was held accountable, and was ultimately branded a traitor by a treacherous official and nailed to the pillar of shame.

However, the plot has now been reversed, and the grandfather is still the undisputed hero!

Chiu Chiu waved her little fist, "Bad guy, die!"

The prince pressed down on her little pink fist, saying, "Children shouldn't be so violent."

With them around, the children just need to grow up happily.

"Mmm!" Chiu Chiu nodded haphazardly. She was a peace lover! It wasn't that the Koi Clan was too weak in combat!

I'm not violent, I curse them!

[Bananas and watermelons, big and big! Chuchu Group, you'll all turn into ugly toads on Monday!]

Queyu was forced to kneel on the ground by General Yun, bowing his head and submitting to Emperor Jingming. Behind him were a group of captured Turkic envoys, and even more corpses of Turkic guards.

Although Lady Queyu was arrested, she was not convinced of her fate. She still believed that she lost because she had chosen the Third Prince as her ally.

She opened her mouth as if to shout, but what she said made everyone's jaws drop.

Que Yu Shi: "Croak!"

Everyone: "?!"

Queyu was terrified. He struggled to get up and opened his mouth wide to try to speak, but every word he uttered was a terrifying "quack quack".

The prince's hand trembled as he looked at Qiuqiu. What kind of little monster was this?

Chiu Chiu felt uncomfortable under the Crown Prince's gaze. "What?"

Why is he looking at me like that? Does he know I was the one who released all the koi fish into the pond in the East Palace?

Crown Prince: My three-colored carp!

What little monster? He's just a brat!

The Crown Prince has concluded that Queyu is simply insane! And Qiuqiu is just a brat!

Little did Chuchu know that she had escaped being treated as a monster because she was so clumsy; all she could think about now was what to do next.

The Heavenly Dao here is incredibly cunning. Now that the male lead is dead and the female lead has been captured, the powerful figures it chose for them have become fugitives, while all the cannon fodder have been revived. She feels this unreliable Heavenly Dao might go mad at any moment, and her main task now is…

Chirp racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what to do...

Forget it, I won't make things difficult for myself. At worst, we'll all be ruined!

Qiuqiu's current mental state is a hundred years ahead of everyone else; his main characteristic is carefree existence. The more wonderful his mental state, the worse Emperor Jingming's mental state becomes.

With Que Yu arrested, the palace banquet came to an end.

The cabinet ministers were kept in the Zhengyang Hall to discuss important matters, while the rest of the people hurriedly left the palace. The fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty was truly about to change!

Suddenly, a climate of fear and unease descended upon everyone.

After watching his wife lead Qiuqiu away from the palace, Su Junyao straightened his clothes and strode towards Zhengyang Hall.

Didn't you want his daughter?

He wanted to see if the Queyu clan had the fate to live up to it!

Emperor Jingming was furious. His first rebuke was not to the Third Prince, but to the Crown Prince. "Crown Prince, did you know all along that the Third Prince was colluding with the Queyu clan? How did the urgent border dispatches bypass me and reach your hands?"

The crown prince knelt on the ground, a bruise on his forehead from the memorial his father had thrown down at him.

He is indeed the crown prince, but the emperor is in his prime, and for him to do this before even assuming the regency is an overreach. His father questioned him, and he had no choice but to confess.

"It was your overstepping, Your Majesty, that I beg for forgiveness. However, the situation is urgent. If we do not capture Queyu, and she receives the news and escapes back to the Turks, it will be a great disaster!"

What he said made sense, but it wasn't enough to quell his anger.

The Crown Prince continued, "Father, the most urgent matter is to deal with the conflict between the Great Zhou and the Turks. The Third Prince has confused the royal bloodline, and I request that you investigate this matter thoroughly! As for my mistakes, I will accept any punishment from you, Father!"

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare punish you?!" Emperor Jingming slammed his hand on the table and stood up. He kept mentioning the Third Prince because he was afraid others wouldn't know that he had been cuckolded and had actually raised a Turkic ingrate.

"Liu Debao, convey my decree: the Crown Prince has overstepped his bounds and shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane as a warning to others!"

Emperor Jingming's thunderous roar could be heard even through a door. Su Junyao shoved Lu Wenzheng, "We'll see your performance later."

Lu Wenzheng glanced around furtively, and only after seeing that everyone was kneeling properly and no one was paying attention to them did she lower her voice and ask, "Why me?"

Is he someone who is not afraid of death?

Su Junyao: "Don't you want to avenge Princess Fufeng?"

Lu Wenzheng's fingers twitched slightly: "Don't talk nonsense. My relationship with the princess is not what you think. Right now, my heart belongs only to my wife!"

Su Junyao: "Yan Jiamu is the son of Princess Fufeng, but his father is unknown."

The last three words brought tears to Lu Wenzheng's eyes: "How dare these people!"

This book is expected to finish early next month, and I haven't decided what to write for the next one yet...
