Nie Ting'an stated their conditions. He originally thought that this matter would not be so easy, after all, they were asking for the territory of another country.

Although the country's land area is not large, with only one mountain, it represents the dignity of the country.

But he didn't expect that the emperor of Yaoguang Kingdom would just wave his hand and send him away.

"I can decide this matter now. Since your country wants this mountain, I will give it to you as a token of friendship between our two countries."

After the emperor said this, the crowds heading towards the city continued unabated, and some people even hurriedly wanted to remind the emperor not to agree.

The Grand Tutor was the first to stand up, but was promptly held down by the Third Prince, who shook his head slightly at him.

General Mu's face was full of pride. After all, they all knew the reason behind this matter.

It’s a pity that the Grand Tutor knew nothing and could only worry on the side. Nie Ting’an couldn’t understand what the people of Yaoguang Country were thinking.

But fortunately, they agreed, so I have no reason to refuse.

So after the banquet, he was anxious to get the land approval document the next day, but this document meant nothing to him.

Because at this moment his country had already been plunged into war, and the nomadic people, with the help of the Yaoguang Kingdom, were about to completely disintegrate his Jiuguang Kingdom.

After acquiring the gold mine, Nie Ting'an was deeply moved and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, are you truly not going to keep the woman beside you? It seems to me that this woman isn't as foolish as you say. At least she's quite ruthless in her actions."

Tang Xicheng smiled slightly. He admitted that Qin Xuezhen was quite useful at certain times.

But this woman has too many thoughts, and if she stays by my side forever, it will probably be a big trouble.

But he knew very well that the system could help him a lot, but it could also destroy him a lot, so he couldn't help but make a suggestion to Nie Ting'an.

"If the choice is between the kingdom and the beauty, I believe that Your Majesty and I would both choose the kingdom. As for this beauty, no matter how useful she is, as long as she stands in our way, there is no question of whether we would be willing to give her up or not."

Nie Ting'an couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had to admit that the man in front of him was really to his liking.

"You're right. It seems His Royal Highness Zheng He and King Cheng are truly the right people to choose. You made the right choice as a partner."

"So we can't let this woman let him control too many of our things. If he can use these things to threaten us once, he can threaten us a second time!"

Nie Ting'an gave a thumbs up, agreeing with Tangxi City's statement.

One night afterwards, the sound of an assassin was suddenly heard in the palace.

The imperial concubine was a little puzzled as she held Yao Guangyue in her arms. How could there be an assassin in the palace? She couldn't help but laugh at him.

"The world is really going downhill. More and more people in Yaoguang Country are causing trouble. There are even assassins in the palace. I don't know if our emperor is dead or not!"

The group of young palace maids behind him turned pale with fright when they heard this, and they all knelt on the ground, begging their queen to be careful with her words.

But only Xiyan knew that her queen was worried about the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be worrying about whether His Majesty is in danger. After all, His Majesty is surrounded by masters from the Imperial Palace. It's our side that's in danger, but you, Your Majesty, are the only one who knows martial arts."

When Yao Guangyue heard what Xiyan said, she couldn't help but applaud in her heart.

[It's not that Xiyan is my mother's personal maid, but her words are so comforting. She's clearly telling my mother not to worry about my father, but she ended up saying something like this. How interesting!]

The imperial concubine also knew the intention of the wedding banquet, but she did not expose her little thoughts. After all, she also enjoyed the feeling of being pampered.

But the smile on his face didn't last long, because a man in black suddenly appeared in his palace.

It goes without saying that this must be the assassin in the palace. Everyone was terrified and hurriedly protected their master and went forward to close the door.

As a result, the other party suddenly rushed in. At the critical moment, the imperial concubine kicked him out and barely blocked him from outside the door.

"What's going on? How did the assassin get into our palace?"

Seeing the imperial concubine's nervous look, Xiyan immediately took the sword from the wall and threw it to her.

She picked up the little princess and hid her in the cabinet. Yao Guangyue looked at the darkness in front of her and was completely dumbfounded.

[What's going on with the system? Quickly find a way to detect who that man in black outside is!]

[Host, this man in black is probably a eunuch, apparently from the Inner Court. In the original storyline, the male protagonist had an accomplice who once worked in the Inner Court within the imperial palace.]

Speaking of Yaoguang Yueke, I remembered that this person seemed to have appeared before, but his identity had never been confirmed and no evidence was found against him.

[So what's going on? Is he here to kill me?]

Yao Guangyue had just finished asking this question when she suddenly heard a scream from outside.

"Empress!"

At this moment, Yaoguang Yue's head almost split open. Now she understood that the man was not here to kill her, but to kill the imperial concubine.

[Oh no! Something happened to my mother. The heroine is now in my father's harem. They must want to kill my mother to remove the obstacles for her!]

Yao Guangyue's guess was correct, but not entirely right. Tang Xicheng and Nie Ting'an's idea was to kill the imperial concubine. On the one hand, it would allow Qin Xuezhen to smoothly climb to a high position, and on the other hand, it would threaten Qin Xuezhen.

If she didn't help them in the future, they would blame her for the imperial concubine's death. By then, with her little princess and the emperor's years of favor, Qin Xuezhen would definitely not be able to escape death.

So in this situation, the old eunuch tried his best to fight to the death and seriously injured the imperial concubine. When the emperor arrived, the imperial concubine was bleeding profusely from her chest and had collapsed.

"Chu Jin!"

In the early years, the emperor always called the concubine by her name. It was not until he ascended the throne and gradually became suspicious of the people around him that he began to call her the concubine.

After many years, the imperial concubine finally heard her own name again, but she was unable to respond.

Yao Guangyue was also carried out of the cabinet by the little palace maid below. When she saw the appearance of the imperial concubine, she burst into tears.

[Oh my god, system, how did my mother become like this? This wasn't mentioned in the original plot!]

The system was also in a panic. He didn't know how it turned out like this. He could only say that the plot collapsed a bit seriously, so the consequences were unpredictable.

[Host, calm down first. The imperial concubine should be fine. The plot is seriously broken right now, but it probably won't deviate too far.]
