"Why don't you open the door? Prince, I'm hungry. Open the door and make a meal for me and the soldiers."

Outside the door, the arrogant curses and shouts made people unable to control their temper.

"Have a meal?"

Emperor Wu of Xia handed Wanwan over to Xia Mochen, and then had someone send Wanwan back.

Then he said to the people outside, "Poison arrows and torches, do you want to eat them?"

When the other party saw that it was Emperor Wu of Xia, he cursed in his heart, "Damn it, you actually lied to me."

"Humph, what are you clamoring about, Emperor Wu of Xia? Wuqi's territory is twice as large as your Longyan's. Don't you have any idea? I'm here today to force you to abdicate. If you know what's good for you, come down and die."

After all, even though it has come to this, how can one be so imposing? Besides, this great tyrant is also a brainless person, and he probably can't do anything earth-shattering.

Of course, the next second, he was stunned. Tens of thousands of arrows rained down. He had brought 8,000 elite soldiers, but when he returned, only 4,000 remained. Half of his force had been lost.

General Wu Qiguo, who had lost his armor and weapons, could not help but curse, "Damn it, has Emperor Xia Wu taken the wrong medicine recently? How am I going to explain this to the Emperor when I get back?"

*

After Wanwan woke up, she vaguely remembered the scene before the rain of arrows. Wanwan smiled happily. The scene before her was still her father holding her in his arms while he reviewed memorials in the imperial study.

"Are you awake?"

Emperor Wu of Xia gazed at Wanwan and leisurely picked her up.

Wanwan sleeps for a long time every day, so every time she wakes up, Emperor Wu of Xia will play with her even if he is not free.

Wanwan said "Oh" twice and smiled as innocently and cutely as a baby.

I couldn't help but feel happy. "Great! I woke up and saw you. Father."

Hearing Wanwan's thoughts, Emperor Wu of Xia felt a little guilty. It seemed that he shouldn't have scared the little baby like that. What if he got scared again in his dreams?

"Your Majesty, the Empress has been kneeling outside for four hours."

The eunuch looked outside and suddenly became a little anxious. It seemed that the queen had never suffered such a great suffering before.

"I didn't ask her to kneel! If she wants to make herself miserable, then let her kneel."

Emperor Wu of Xia stared angrily at her, then interacted with his precious daughter.

[How shameless! His own son conspired with his mother's family to commit treason. He even had the nerve to kneel down and beg my father for forgiveness! I really want to see what excuse this man uses to plead for mercy.]

"Wait a moment, let her in." Emperor Wu of Xia ordered.

Since Wanwan wants to see it, let her in.

The Queen came in and saluted respectfully. Then she looked up and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Wu of Xia raised his eyes and glanced at them briefly. In just this one glance, his gaze seemed to be fixed.

Wanwan turned slightly to stare at the empress at this moment, only to see that her eyes were fixed on Emperor Wu of Xia. And Emperor Wu of Xia seemed to be under control.

hehe……

It has been almost two months since Wanwan started practicing daily, and she has accumulated some spiritual power, although it is still far from her previous level of cultivation.

But a childish trick like this is no big deal for Wanwan even though she is only two months old.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and my brother must have been afflicted by the evil star. As long as Your Majesty kills this demon, everything will be over."

Although the queen was kneeling on the ground, she now almost controlled Emperor Wu of Xia.

"oh?"

Wanwan looked at the queen suspiciously. "She's a demon?" she asked. "What are you doing now?"

Of course, Wanwan really couldn't express it with her words.

“Daddy…”

Wanwan stared at his father, silently reciting the mantra in his heart: Heaven and earth have righteous energy, which is mixed and flowing...

A golden spiritual power entered Emperor Xia Wu's body, and a moment later, Wanwan saw her father wake up.

The speed of waking up was a bit unexpected.

"Xia Mochen!" He roared, and Xia Mochen walked in, holding Wanwan in his arms, "Take Wanwan out."

The next second, he raised his imperial sword and slashed at the queen's neck. "I'll give you a chance. Who taught you that? Or are you just a demon?"

"Your Majesty...I don't understand what you are saying!"

"ah!!"

Wanwan probably guessed what had happened.

The Queen is dead...

His head was chopped off by a knife. Except for Wanwan who was properly taken care of, everyone else in the imperial study saw this scene.

"Someone, come and find out who the Queen has been in contact with recently?" Emperor Wu of Xia closed his eyes, feeling angry.

The following events were soon discovered. The Queen was practicing witchcraft and was also found to be colluding with Wu Qiguo's men.

Then, the prime minister's family was uprooted. Many were killed, many were reduced to slavery, many were sent to the frontier, and many were reduced to common people.

But in Wanwan's opinion, none of them deserve sympathy, because most of the people of the same tribe have the same moral character. This is caused by tradition.

Wanwan also had a long period of quiet time. After that incident, Wanwan practiced even harder. After all, protecting her father was like protecting her own thigh.

*

A month had passed in the blink of an eye, and many positions in the court were now vacant. Without Minister Liu and the Prime Minister's family, Emperor Wu of Xia had been incredibly busy lately. Many matters had to be handled personally by him.

However, he did not regret making these people disappear.

After letting Wanwan rest for a while, Emperor Wu of Xia started to bring Wanwan to court again. There was no other way, the only one who could share his burden was Wanwan.

Wanwan woke up and came to the court reluctantly.

[Ahem… these golden pillars are such a treat. I never get tired of looking at them every day.]

Hearing Wanwan's voice, Emperor Wu of Xia knew that the girl had woken up, so he gently held her and sat her up.

[Alas, it's been a long time since I last attended court. The court is now empty, with half the number of people present.]

My father's biggest headache right now is probably recruiting talent. Looking at the entire court, both civil and military officials, it's a real headache. There really aren't many capable of handling major responsibilities.

When Emperor Wu of Xia heard Wanwan's thoughts, he shook his head helplessly.

"Aside from a few poor answers in yesterday's promotion exam, everything else was pretty good."

Emperor Wu of Xia took out a dozen imperial edicts and handed them to these people, saying, "Those who receive the imperial edicts will be promoted to the first rank."

The imperial edict was issued, and a person's name was read out. Wanwan was a little confused.

[Hey, why isn't Dai Qingshan on the list? Isn't he one of the high-ranking officials in the hero's court? Isn't he in the court?]

"Your Majesty, I, Dai Qingshan, wish to resign and return home. Please grant me your permission!"

Emperor Wu of Xia felt a sinking feeling in his heart. This great official was leaving? Who would help him with his work from now on?

He looked at the imperial edict in his hand. Dai Qingshan's logic was very similar to his. He had originally planned to receive a special promotion, from a sixth-rank official directly to a third-rank official.

That’s good, just put it a little later and just resign.

If I announce the imperial decree now, it would seem a bit flattering. No, no.
