Jiang Ming glanced to the side and saw a tall, extremely beautiful woman walk out from behind the hall!

She wore a phoenix crown, adorned with jewels and brocades... It was immediately obvious that she was the Queen of Yan!

To be honest, this woman is really attractive!

While she can't be said to be much prettier than Ji Shishi, she does possess a captivating and alluring charm that instantly evokes a feeling in men...

It's clear that Prince Ji Xi of Yan had excellent judgment!

Speaking of which... after experiencing so many women, they are not like what those scoundrels say, that they are all the same after the lights are off.

That's true, every woman has her own flavor, and every man has his own style!

This woman is the kind of woman who makes men have those kinds of thoughts the moment they see her, completely different from Ji Shishi, who has a scholarly air about her!

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

The Queen of Yan entered the palace and pleaded, "Considering Prime Minister Shi's years of hard work and dedication to the country, please spare his life... I also heard what happened just now. Prime Minister Shi has become senile and said things he shouldn't have, angering the Xianbei envoy... Your Majesty, please be lenient with him!"

Ji Xi, being quite straightforward, clicked his tongue and said, "You think I want to kill him? Isn't this... Mr. Jiang wanting to see my sincerity?"

The Queen of Yan was a shrewd woman. She gracefully descended the steps of the palace and approached Jiang Ming, bowing slightly in greeting.

To say that, as the heir of a nation, to do this is to give Jiang Ming a lot of face!

"Mr. Jiang, Prime Minister Shi is senile... Please don't take it to heart. I bow to you and hope you will be magnanimous and spare his life..." Queen Yan said very humbly.

To be honest, this situation... was completely unexpected by Jiang Ming!

He never expected that the Queen of Yan would suddenly appear!

If he had offended the Prince of Yan, he could have used the excuse of being "in a fit of anger" to "fight fire with fire" and kill that old bastard Shi Qiu!

But the Queen of Yan has personally pleaded with you. If you still don't give her face, it will make Jiang Ming seem petty, mean-spirited, and mean-spirited!

But that guy Shi Qiu must be killed today!

Firstly, it's to establish authority!

If Shi Qiu hadn't died, people would have continued to gossip about him to the Prince of Yan, trying to incite him to make things difficult for them.

Secondly, it was also to eliminate Ji Shishi's political enemies and cripple the power of the Queen of Yan!

Originally, Jiang Ming thought that the Queen of Yan's influence in the court was deeply entrenched and should not be easily touched.

We should find a good way to cleverly dismantle it...

But now that this woman has shown up, Jiang Ming is thinking that he should consider implementing Plan B, which is to cut the Gordian knot and eradicate this force completely!

Anyway, the Queen of Yan is right next to me now, and taking her life within ten steps is as easy as taking something out of a bag!

"hehe......"

Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Of course, of course... Since the Queen herself has pleaded for me, it would seem petty of me not to give her face..."

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's words, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ha ha!"

Ji Xi laughed and said, "I knew it... Mr. Jiang is very magnanimous. You were just joking with Lord Shi Qiu!"

"hehe......"

Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "Let's turn the page on this, but... there's something else that's not so easy to explain!"

"Oh?" Ji Xi frowned slightly. "Mr. Jiang, is there anything else?"

"Oh!"

Jiang Ming sneered, "Your Majesty... you probably don't know yet, do you? Today, Her Highness the Eldest Princess and I were studying poetry in the study, uh... the purpose was also for the upcoming poetry competition, when suddenly an assassin jumped down from above and tried to assassinate the Eldest Princess. If I hadn't been there, the Eldest Princess would probably have been killed!"

"Ah! Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Jiang Ming secretly glanced at the Queen of Yan, but saw that although the woman looked calm, her eyes were slightly unfocused and she dared not meet Jiang Ming's gaze.

"Court Official!"

Princess Ji Xi of Yan said angrily, "Have you captured this person?"

"Well......"

The court official, Zizhi, was covered in sweat and stammered, "The man was captured by Mr. Jiang. When we entered the house, he had already been subdued by Mr. Jiang!"

"Oh... Mr. Jiang! Thank you so much!"

Ji Xi sighed, "I must reward Mr. Jiang handsomely!"

"No need!"

Jiang Ming waved his hand and said, "The Eldest Princess is my fiancée, it's only right that I protect her! But... who would attempt to assassinate the Eldest Princess, that's quite intriguing!"

"Court Commandant! I order you to investigate and find out who is behind this within three days. If you fail to solve the case within the deadline, you will be punished the same as that person!" Ji Xi shouted angrily.

"Ah? Yes, Your Majesty... But, Your Majesty, that man... that man is imprisoned in the Princess's residence. Mr. Jiang even said he would personally interrogate him. Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"hehe."

Jiang Ming picked up where he left off, saying, "Your Majesty, why make things difficult for a subject? If you think about it a little, it's not hard to guess who's behind this!"

"oh?"

Ji Xi asked in astonishment, "Mr. Jiang, tell me, who is trying to assassinate the Princess?"
