Upon hearing this, Qingyang slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, a red glint flashing in his eyes. He pointed at Qingge and shouted, "Nonsense! Of the three kingdoms, my Weilong Kingdom has the largest territory and the most prosperous population. If you ask all the people of Weilong Kingdom to relocate, where do you think they'll go? To the ambitious Shuyi Kingdom, or to the impoverished Wushi Kingdom? By then, all my people will have changed their surnames!"

Qingge frowned and said coldly, "Royal brother, please calm down. What I mean is to retreat in order to advance. Under the pretense of relocation, we can launch an attack on Shuyi Kingdom and then directly seize it from him. Wouldn't that be perfect?"

"It's absolutely impossible for me to personally lead the troops. What if something unexpected happens halfway and you try to silence me? Wouldn't my kingdom fall into your hands then?" Qingyang pointed at Qingge and said coldly.

Qingge's gaze turned cold as she sneered, "Qingyang! If I, Qingge, wanted to harm you, I would have already secured this throne and would not have given it to you!"

"Hahaha, you finally admit it, don't you? You still want my throne!" Qingyang sneered.

"You, you're talking nonsense!" Qingge was so angry that she trembled all over.

Although Qingge was only a princess, she had seized the kingdom of Weilong from an incompetent and foolish ruler, and it was her establishment of laws that led to its current development. Otherwise, given its initial level of development, half of Weilong's territory would probably belong to the Shuyi Kingdom now!

However, she had absolutely no interest in this supreme position; she only wanted to retire gracefully after Qingyang unified the world.

But she never expected that even Qingyang, who was firmly seated on the throne, would have doubts about her, which really chilled her heart.

Just as the two were at an impasse, Yang Wei rushed into the main hall in a panic. "Your Majesty, a thief has broken into the General's Mansion, massacred my family, and kidnapped my brother. Please order his arrest!"

Qingge's expression changed immediately. Suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly asked, "The massacre of your general's mansion? Do you know who did it and why?"

Just as Yang Wei was about to speak, Qingyang said coldly, "Princess Qingge, I have something to discuss with General Yang. You may leave now!"

Qingge was stunned, realizing that Qingyang had deliberately sent her away, and immediately became angry, "Qingyang, you..."

"What did you call me?" Qingyang asked coldly, his glasses gleaming.

Qingge, noting that Yang Wei was also present, gradually calmed down and spoke with a composed expression, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the General's Mansion is related to the Dragon's Wrath, so I would like to stay and hear General Yang's reply. Is that alright?"

"Since that's the case, then listen in, but don't say anything." Seeing Qingge back down, Qingyang's lips curled up slightly, and he spoke coldly with a smug look on his face.

Yang Wei looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. Could it be that they had argued before he arrived?

However, for some reason, he felt a secret pleasure seeing Qingyang use his status to oppress Qingge. Not everyone in this world had to defer to Qingge; becoming the ruler was enough!

Qingyang gave Yang Wei a cold look and said, "General Yang, you speak."

"Your Majesty, the steward who just escaped reports that the General's Mansion has been wiped out!" Yang Wei glanced at Qingge, then suddenly remembered something, a wicked thought flashing through his mind. "According to my steward, that person was..."

When Qingge saw Yang Wei looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, her expression changed drastically. "General Yang, if you don't want to talk, then don't disturb me and the King when we are discussing important matters!"

"Of course I must speak, after all, it concerns Princess Qingge!" Yang Wei puffed out his chest in front of Qingge.

Qingge had a cold face. She had just argued with Qingyang, and she didn't expect that Yang Wei would also dare to show off in front of her.

"The one who killed the people from the General's Mansion was none other than Princess Qingge, the little green girl from your Leisure Restaurant!" Yang Wei pointed at Qingge and spoke coldly, then turned to Qingyang and said sorrowfully, "My entire family of fifty people were killed by that witch. I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me! Bring the wicked to justice!"

"You mean a demoness? What's going on?" Qingyang asked, squinting.

"I heard that the demoness has scales on her body, cold eyes, and exudes resentment. She has definitely cultivated the methods of evil and heretical paths, and is not something an ordinary person could possess!" Yang Wei said.

Upon hearing this, Qingge's expression changed drastically. She thought to herself, "Xiao Lü is a member of the Long family. I kept her by my side because I saw that she was young, kind-hearted, and sincere. Because I was tired of life in the palace, I assigned her to the Xianzhe Restaurant to give her freedom. Could it be that the person who caused Long's resentment... is her?!"

Qingyang noticed Qingge's expression and immediately spoke coldly, "Princess Qingge, given your master-servant relationship with Xiaolu, is this matter related to you?"

"I……"

Before Qingge could answer, Li Jin rushed in from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, Princess..."

"And what's wrong with you?" Qingyang snorted coldly and glanced at Li Jin.

"Your Majesty, I have just received news that someone has died at the Li Family Medical Clinic," Li Jin said with a grim expression.

"Isn't it normal for someone to die in a clinic? What's there to report?" Qingyang said indifferently.

“But Your Majesty, it’s not normal for nearly a hundred people to die in just one hour! If more people die and it causes a plague, the consequences will be unimaginable…” Li Jin’s face immediately turned worried.

Qingyang's expression also changed. "Investigate the cause immediately, and... cough cough..."

Qingyang cleared his throat, his body burning up and his throat becoming dry. "Why is the weather suddenly so hot? Quickly prepare some ice to cool me down!"

"Yes!" Li Jin hurriedly withdrew. Seeing Qingge's unpleasant expression, he knew it was inappropriate for him to stay.

Qingyang looked coldly at Qingge, "So many things have happened in one day, Princess Qingge. I also heard that you were assassinated last night. Was it Sage Mohan who saved you? Will your duel continue today?"
