For a fleeting moment, she felt utterly hopeless, even contemplating suicide.

The thought of ultimately becoming a tool for men to show off and belittle each other made her feel as if the whole world had lost its color.

But now she felt as if the colors of the world had returned.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him; he was doing this to protect me.

However, she quickly realized the implication of his words: was he preparing to deal with the Wu Prince's residence...?

Seeing the princess nestled in another man's arms in front of everyone, their eyes seemingly filled with tenderness and affection, King Wu was truly enraged: "You bastard, you've gone too far!"

"King Wu must have heard this phrase quite often lately." Zu An's expression turned cold. This guy has been causing trouble in the capital these days, and many families have been ruined by him. When those families accused and cursed him, did he ever show any mercy?

Thinking of Gao Ying's fate, Liu Ning's whereabouts being unknown, and now the Jiang family almost being destroyed, he was extremely unhappy.

Dealing with the other person is actually quite easy, but to really hurt this kind of guy, you have to provoke him on what he cares about most.

Thinking of this, he simply lifted Yun Yuqing's smooth and delicate chin with his fingers and lowered his head to kiss her.

You've been cultivating an image of a loving couple, a perfect match, using that to build your reputation. Well, today I'll shatter that image completely and make you a laughingstock. How will you ever become emperor again?

"Mmm..." Yun Yuqing groaned, her mind going completely blank, and she only responded to him instinctively.

Well, since I'm only husband and wife with the King of Wu in name only, I might as well take this opportunity to openly become Azu's woman...

Upon seeing this, the King of Wu's eyes widened like copper bells, and he almost bit his lips until they bled, but he was ashamed to find that he seemed to be aroused.

Sensing the changes in his body, he became even angrier and shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! Whoever strikes him with a single blow will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and promoted three ranks. Whoever kills him will be ennobled as a marquis, with the title passed down through generations!"

I don't care what you two are like in private, but in public, where am I supposed to put my face?

The people around were equally stunned, watching everything unfold in disbelief. What had happened today was truly astounding.

The key point is that the queen, who is always beautiful and noble in their eyes, did not show any resistance at all. In fact, she even seemed to be responding by sticking out her tongue.

The soldiers under the command of the King of Wu quickly charged towards Zu'an, roaring and brandishing their weapons. After all, these lower-ranking soldiers had limited access to information. Although they had heard that the Regent was very powerful, they wondered if he, no matter how powerful, could be more powerful than the army.

Now that the prince has been humiliated, his direct descendants naturally want to share his burdens, especially since the rewards are so tempting.

If they could really kill Zu'an, they would have a chance to become hereditary marquises, rising from lowly soldiers to a powerful clan.

Many noble families in the Great Zhou Dynasty today were originally just soldiers or low-ranking generals who killed important enemy figures and suddenly rose to prominence.

Although Zu An's cultivation level was high, he was only one person. How could he possibly fight against an entire army?

This is common sense!

Especially since the other party was even lowering his head to kiss the princess, seemingly not even noticing them, this arrogant and careless attitude presented a golden opportunity.

Hmm, it seems we misunderstood the princess before. She was using her beauty to make the regent so infatuated that he had no time to resist, thus giving us an opportunity!

The soldiers formed a battle formation, and soon the formations between squads were also activated, forming a large array. The array patterns glowed with a faint blue light, and the soldiers charged forward excitedly.

That look wasn't directed at a master, but rather at a stepping stone to promotion and wealth.

Zuan didn't move at all, still lowering his head to kiss Yun Yuqing.

As the soldiers charged forward, they suddenly felt an immense and overwhelming pressure descend from the sky, and everyone felt a sense of fear and awe from the bottom of their hearts.

With a clang, the soldiers' weapons scattered all over the ground, and they all knelt down, trembling all over.

As for the formations on the army that were originally meant to counter the pressure from high-level cultivators, they only lit up for a second before instantly shattering into fragments.

Many soldiers' bodies exploded, and they died on the spot.

The surrounding soldiers grew increasingly terrified, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for their lives.

Only Jiang Luofu could see clearly that Zu An was not killing people randomly. Those who died were all people with murder cases on their hands, who had just brutally murdered members of the Jiang family, and who had made dirty moves against the women of the Jiang family.

She was deeply moved; her grandfather had gone to such lengths to avenge her.

If it were any other time, she would probably have been incredibly moved.

But now...

Seeing the two people passionately kissing next to her, Jiang Luofu was speechless. "When you're trying to move me, can you please stop kissing another woman?"

Jiang Boyang was equally shocked, firstly by the other party's relationship with the Princess of Wu, and secondly by his unfathomable strength.

Having served as a general in the army in the past, he knew very well how much of an advantage an army had over an individual. Now, the King of Wu had brought elite troops. Although there were no large-scale war formations due to space limitations, there were still various portable formations. Even a peak Grandmaster would have to flee if he encountered them.

Zuan suppressed the entire army without even lifting a finger.

King Wu and his men were almost petrified. He knew that Zu'an was very strong and did not expect that his army could defeat him.

But it should at least be a bloody battle that depletes Zaun's strength, right?
