Seeing that it was quiet outside, Shen Xingmian smiled with satisfaction, looked at Xiao Yanyue, and saw that he had already walked to the emperor's side. She then casually wiped the dragon throne and sat down.

Xiao Yanyue looked down at his "royal uncle," who was much shorter than him, and a surge of overwhelming hatred welled up in his heart.

He had been suppressing his feelings for too long, and now that the moment had come, he was at a loss for words.

However, it doesn't matter what he says. He doesn't expect the other party to realize their mistakes. Even if they do, his father and mother will never come back.

It would be better to send him down directly and let him go to them to repent in person.

He drew his curved sword from his waist, and without uttering a word, severed the emperor's Achilles tendon. Blood splattered, and the man screamed in agony, writhing on the ground and howling in pain.

After reading it, Shen Xingmian suddenly realized that Dao Dao was really strong when he was a child. He was in so much pain, but he didn't utter a sound.

He wouldn't have even bothered to mention his serious injuries if she hadn't discovered them herself.

Thinking about it, she immediately felt a pang of heartache and wanted to go over and hug him. But with so many eyes watching, she could only hold back for now, remembering the hug and planning to give it to him when she got home.

Many people below were so terrified by the bloody scene that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, trembling.

Many of them had killed quite a few people in their previous lives, but they always sent their subordinates to do these dirty work, without actually doing it themselves.

Now, however, he's putting on an act that's unacceptable to Shen Xingmian.

It's as if they're cruel.

In reality, they did far more cruel and immoral things than the two of them combined.

The emperor writhed on the ground in pain, disregarding his dignity and prestige, desperately begging Xiao Yanyue not to kill him. He even tried to appeal to Xiao Yanyue's emotions, saying that Xiao Yanyue was, after all, his uncle and his only family in the world.

That's really disgusting.

Shen Xingmian couldn't help but get up and walk over, wanting to stuff a clump of pig manure into his mouth so that he would only disgust himself and not her and Xiao Yanyue.

Before she could even make a move, Xiao Yanyue's knife pierced the emperor's mouth, severing his tongue.

Seeing his miserable state with blood flowing from head to toe, Xiao Yanyue finally felt some of the anger churning within her subside.

He finally calmed down, looked at the hem of his clothes splattered with blood, and felt somewhat dissatisfied, worried that Shen Xingmian would find it dirty.

After beheading the emperor, he wiped the knife clean on the dragon robe, cut off the blood-stained hem, and then sheathed the knife, walking back to Shen Xingmian's side like a cold and austere stone statue.

The more Shen Xingmian thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, and she also found the group of people below increasingly displeasing.

They may not have been able to overthrow the emperor, but they certainly did their share of aiding and abetting evil. Today it's time to settle accounts with them.

Following the list, she found each person one by one, read aloud the evil deeds they had committed, and finally asked with a smile:

"Are you planning to commit suicide to atone for your sins, or should I send you on your way?"

Shen Xingmian's beauty has only increased in the last two years. Anyone who looks at her will be immediately attracted by her appearance. But in the eyes of this group of dying people, she is no different from a demon or a devil, and is extremely terrifying.

The group of people trembled, and not one of them dared to make a sound. They wished they could shrink into the ground and not be noticed.

Shen Xingmian had no patience to wait for them to stall, and sneered: "Fine, you don't want to choose, then we'll accept the second option."

Having said that, before these people could even offer any excuses, he raised his knife and brought it down, a head falling to the ground.

She was no longer a little girl who would be afraid of killing. Besides, these people had countless lives on their hands, so their deaths were not worth regretting.

Blood flowed like a river in the hall, and corpses and heads were piled up in the middle, forming a small mountain. Everyone else was so frightened that they all hid far away, and some even closed their eyes in fear, unable to look.

After handling the matter, Shen Xingmian announced loudly: "Listen carefully, Jiang Yu will sit on this throne for the time being. If anyone has any objections, I will go to his house and discuss it with him personally."

Her threat, coupled with the stench of blood filling the hall, terrified everyone into silence.

After making the threat, the two men, along with the tiger and the leopard, pushed open the door and walked out. The guards at the door heard the commotion inside, and when they looked in and saw the terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, not one of them dared to move.

After that, the affairs of the palace were handed over to Jiang Yu. He had many acquaintances in the court and knew who was worth making an important appointment, so he handled the matters with ease.

Shen Xingmian stayed in the Jiang residence, quietly keeping Rui Rui company as she waited for the due date.

Jiang Yu quickly stabilized the situation in the court. Shen Xingmian wrote to her maternal grandfather, saying that the matter had been resolved and that they could rest assured.

After Rui Rui gave birth, they helped her recover and made a pure gold longevity lock for her baby girl. They also gave her some ginseng before returning home.

With the biggest problem on her mind resolved, Xiao Yanyue's tense expression finally eased considerably, and she even occasionally showed a smile.

When no man is near Shen Xingmian, he is usually quite normal. Only when he sees other women appear does his possessiveness kick in and he becomes more abnormal.

Shen Xingmian actually liked this a little; it's normal for your partner to get jealous when you're in a relationship.

It's quite strange that no matter how much they trust each other, there's not a hint of jealousy.

It was getting a bit cold, and Xiao Yanyue couldn't bear to see her riding the snowball on her way, so she drove the electric scooter and let her sit in the passenger seat, reclining the backrest to rest.

Shen Xingmian wasn't tired at all. She would look out the window for a while, then look at the people around her, and a sense of peaceful happiness welled up inside her.

In late autumn, you might occasionally see large trees laden with fruit by the roadside, and Shen Xingmian would stop them and go down to taste the fruit.

If it tastes good, I'll put the seeds into my spatial dimension and let them grow into a fruit tree, which would also be a gift for my family.

She never had the leisure to do this before, but this time, it was as if she had unloaded a huge weight from her heart by traveling with Xiao Yanyue, and everything seemed much more interesting to her now.

Especially when I look at the person next to me, I feel a sweet feeling in my heart.

Xiao Yanyue felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, her ears turning slightly red. She couldn't help but change the subject and urge her, "Have you picked enough? If you have, let's continue our journey and go back as soon as possible."

"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Xiao Yanyue: "..."

After a slight hesitation, he blushed and said, "Let's go back and finalize things."

Shen Xingmian teased him deliberately, "Our business? What business do you mean by 'our business'?"

Xiao Yanyue's anger rose from her heart. Looking at the girl next to her who was laughing as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but pull her into her arms, hold her tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Our marriage."
