Nie Ting'an is indeed cruel, but who among those who have experienced the fight for the throne is easy to mess with?

Ever since he learned that the nomadic peoples worshipped a goddess, he immediately ordered people to find out their identities.

When Qin Xue really heard what the other party said, she was so scared that she gasped and even took a step back.

Such behavior was despised by Nie Ting'an, and sarcastic remarks followed.

"You are such a coward, how can you compare to thousands of noble goddesses? Your methods are not bad, but you just didn't choose the right person."

This sentence resonated with Tangxi City.

"Your Majesty, that's exactly what you said. If this woman didn't have other uses, I wouldn't bother involving her in this dispute."

Nie Ting'an became interested. He knew that the Chixiao Kingdom was now embroiled in a struggle for the throne, and a struggle for the throne was often a time of civil unrest in a country.

If he bet on the right thing at this time, he might be able to get a share of the pie. Of course, Nie Ting'an would get involved in such a good thing.

But whether the person in front of you is worth your bet depends on how you get along with him in the future.

"My Jiuguang Nation has no interest in the disputes of the Chixiao Nation. Even if we gain some benefits today, our two territories are still far apart, and with Yaoguang sandwiched between us, we are unable to reach them."

This sentence sounds like a refusal to interfere in the affairs of the Chixiao Kingdom, but in fact it also puts forward its own demands.

What kind of benefits need to be close to one's own territory? And there can be no other things in between. Naturally, it is to expand the territory. The best gifts must be things like cities and minerals.

Tang Xicheng understood, so he smiled slightly and took out a piece of gold.

"The benefits don't necessarily have to come from the Crimson Sky Nation. They can also be things that the Yaoguang and Jiuguang Nation already have. Your Majesty, what do you think of this?"

Tangxi City took out a piece of gold, but this gold was obviously just refined, very rough, and even had impurities on it.

"Gold of this purity can be considered a good thing?"

"The purity of the gold fresh from the mine is certainly not as high as that used in the palace. Your Majesty, please accept it."

Nie Ting'an finally reacted. He was originally leaning lazily on the chair, but he straightened his back instantly, his eyes fixed on the dirty piece of gold.

"I just don't know where this gold comes from?"

"At the Ten Thousand Courts Meeting, the Goddess will help Your Majesty obtain the land where the gold is produced, provided that the Yaoguang Kingdom is unaware of this treasure."

It immediately became clear that this mineral deposit was located between the territories of Jiuguang Kingdom and Yaoguang Kingdom.

Moreover, it is very likely that the Yaoguang Kingdom did not know about the existence of such a gold mine. Although for some reason, they did not discover it, but it was discovered by this foreign prince.

But Nie Ting'an thought that since he had come here from afar and created such a big circle, he couldn't be deceiving himself.

"As long as the goddess can help me get this place, I am willing to do my best to help with the affairs of the Red Sky Nation."

Tang Xicheng smiled slightly and did not respond to his invitation, because he wanted to obtain the entire Jiuguang Kingdom and use the country's strength to compete with his brothers.

If Jiuguang Kingdom wants to obtain this gold mine, it must have the assistance of the ministers of Yaoguang Kingdom.

So after much thought, Nie Ting'an activated a clue he had laid for many years.

Not long after, a letter was received in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wen Xiuting immediately put the letter away secretly.

"I didn't expect that my friends in Hisamitsu Country haven't forgotten me yet."

Not long after Wen Xiuting received the letter, the queen received news from her own brother.

The queen did not have a very good relationship with her father, but she was somewhat dependent on her brothers.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is now under pressure, and the Mu family is becoming more and more proud. Wen Xiuting wrote a letter to the palace, worried that the Queen would be wronged in front of the Imperial Concubine.

After a tearful plea, the queen completely let down her guard and agreed to join forces with her brother to poison the emperor.

This poison will not kill the emperor, but it will make him addicted.

As long as the emperor is addicted to what the queen has, is he still afraid that the imperial concubine will become the most popular?

At first, the queen was a little scared, but as the Wen family's influence in the court was eliminated one by one over the past two days, the queen finally made up her mind.

The moment the emperor fell ill, Huang Helou directly took control of the entire harem and ordered the three princes to enter the palace to serve him.

"Why is Father sick out of nowhere?"

The third prince followed his two brothers and hurried to the harem, asking a million questions along the way.

"I don't think he's sick. How could he fall into a coma after eating just one meal?"

The second prince analyzed the matter calmly and felt that this matter had an inextricable connection with the Wen family.

The most anxious person at the moment was the eldest prince. The imperial concubine was imprisoned in the palace, and the queen issued an order, saying that the Mu family had colluded with others to harm the emperor.

So they sent people to surround the Mu family. Now no one knows where the little princess is. What if something happens to such a small child?

"Don't talk too much for now, let's go into the palace and see, my little sister is still in the palace!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the second prince suddenly stopped.

"What if we all go in and get trapped in the palace?"

The other two princes were stunned. This was true. They were all trapped. Who was outside to help?

The queen was anxiously waiting in the palace at this moment, fearing that the three princes would cause some trouble.

Before they could enter the palace, a frightened person came running to tell her that the three princes were fighting at the palace gate.

"What did you say? Why did the three princes fight?"

The little palace maid was trembling with fear, fearing that the queen would be displeased and chop her to pieces.

"I don't know either, but the three princes fought so fiercely that they were all injured, especially the second prince. I heard that his leg was broken and he is lying on the side now."

The Queen was completely stunned. Hadn't the three brothers been on good terms a while ago? Why were they suddenly fighting?

Fortunately, the senior palace maid beside him came over and assisted in time.

"Your Majesty, this isn't difficult to understand. Their previous brotherly affection was simply for Your Majesty's benefit. Now that Your Majesty has suffered a sudden illness, who knows what might happen next? Isn't this fight for the throne a life-and-death struggle?"

"But these three princes have always been steady and don't seem like the kind of people who would do such a thing."

"Your Majesty, please don't forget that His Majesty fell seriously ill suddenly. These three princes don't have the ability to predict the future, so it's impossible for them to prepare in advance. It's normal for them to have a few verbal arguments on the way here. Otherwise, it would probably be a palace coup."

The queen took a deep breath. This was indeed true.

Little did she know that her decision would completely end her path to becoming the queen, and she would have to show up at the court meetings.
