King Wu returned to his tent to pack up.

My mood has calmed down, but I can't help being angry!

His life has been relatively stable from childhood to adulthood. The fact that he gave up his position to Xie Yu without a major conflict is indeed thanks to him.

No matter what, no father can tolerate being murdered by his own son!

Who is the Yang family? They are He Yuzhi's maternal family and the maternal family of the Princess Consort of Huayuan County!

So, it wasn't just Xie Xuan who wanted to kill his father; Xie Su had the same idea too? Was I getting in their way?

Xie Chen is already twelve years old! Look at that kid Lü Wenren who went to the battlefield at thirteen, and Chang Zihan who dared to kill Xie Geng at six. What use is Xie Chen?

The King of Wu never imagined that he would be such a failure as a person!

The anger was raging, as if it would ignite at midday and burn everything to the ground!

Those who murder their fathers and usurp the throne rarely do so for a mere title. Although the King of Wu harbored rebellious intentions, his sons became anxious even before he ascended the throne. And it wasn't the eldest son who was anxious.

Should the King of Wu regret his failure as a person? Would it have been useful if he had simply submitted obediently?

The He family, the Yang family, and the Zhuang family are another matter.

But no matter what, it cannot conceal the rebelliousness of Xie Su and Xie Xuan!

King Wu decided not to plead for Xie Su and Xie Xuan this time.

As long as they don't have knives, they probably won't be killed. As long as they don't die, what more could they ask for?

Didn't you see how well Xie Yu takes care of his children? Shouldn't the King of Wu hurry up and take care of them too?

What's the use of having a son? Anyway, the King of Wu is furious right now.

Xie Gong, the grandson of the King of Wu, stood cautiously to one side. He had been raised with strict discipline since childhood and understood many things.

After all, Xie Su and Xie Xuan were both his uncles, and it would not benefit him if his uncles wanted to kill his grandfather.

Xie Gong is still young and can't do much, but he understands a little.

After King Wu rectified his actions, he remained the wise king of Zhao!

He looked at his eldest grandson and thought he was doing well, but it was uncertain how he would turn out when he grew up.

Grandparents and grandchildren go to offer sacrifices to Heaven together; the Xie family's sky won't fall!

The Zhao family can only have the surname Xie! Neither Yang nor He, nor even the Fu family, will do!

The King of Wu could not be a puppet; he was the king of the Xie family!

The round altar has been quickly cleaned up.

Some areas cannot be repaired for the time being, but at least they look okay and won't collapse and injure anyone.

A lone rider gallops in!

Standing atop it today, one feels the awe-inspiring power of Heaven!

The lieutenant general came forward and reported: "Wu Ze, Luo Huang and several others went to the Duke of Qi's residence to persuade the Duke of Qi to enter the palace. The Duke of Qi had everyone tied up and went to His Majesty to beg for forgiveness."

The Emperor decrees: "Sanlang shall remain in the manor for now; all others shall be imprisoned!"

The King of Wu knelt down and sincerely shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"

Everyone else immediately knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

A hundred thousand soldiers shouted in unison!

Huan Yue also knelt and shouted, and this time the heavens echoed, making his shouts much more powerful than those of He Shouyi and others.

It's not the same thing. Shouting "Long live the Emperor!" isn't just for flattering the emperor; it's similar to chanting scriptures.

The emperor is a representative, representing the stability of the realm. Stability benefits everyone.

As for those who are not beneficial, they deserve to be dealt with.

Fewer people attended the sacrificial ceremony, but there were still plenty of people; that's just the way things are.

Huan Yue stood clean and tidy in the sunlight.

No one dared to look too closely, unsure whether she had double maces under her yoke or whether the blood on them had dried.

Huan Yue had no smell of blood on him, and his face was cleaner than a child's.

The crown was worn properly.

Xie Zhou thought to himself, "Next time my wife performs the sacrificial ceremony, I'll give her a new hat."

She doesn't necessarily have to look like a man, but she's more suited to the role of an empress or crown princess. What's needed is solemnity, to minimize gossip.

After all, with the Crown Princess here, it's likely to take a long time to talk.

Even if she performs meritorious deeds today, she'll forget about it the moment she turns her back. Even if she kills many people today, she won't be afraid.

Otherwise, how could Wu Ze and Luo Huang dare to deceive Xie Yu?

Wu Ze used to be a secretary in the Ministry of Rites and a relative of the Dong family. The Dong family's extermination of nine generations of their relatives didn't reach him, but this time they could kill him.

Luo Huang was the grandson of Grand Commandant Luo. Instead of staying home to observe mourning, he went off to plot a rebellion. He and his entire clan will be executed.

It's not just Zhuang Wuji's problem; even without Zhuang Wuji, there will be Zhu Wuji, Niu Wuji, and Yang Wuji.

The Eastern Palace.

Several eunuchs rushed up to Guo Bing.

It was Guo Bing who stopped them.

The eunuchs were all very brave and fierce. If the Guo family was still somewhat wary of them, they would not be afraid of Guo Bing, who was a weak woman.

Guo Bing's pretty face was as cold as ice. Since her whole family had died in battle, what did it matter if she died? She'd just take a knife and chop her down!

One of the eunuchs was suddenly slashed and cursed, "You wretch! Kill him!"

A whip lashed out, and the eunuch hurriedly dodged, but Guo Bing swiftly and cleanly slashed with his knife!

Many of the newly arrived palace maids in the Eastern Palace were frightened! However, no one made any noise, and the timid ones hid.

Princess Yongmu stopped the eunuchs in front of them.

One of the eunuchs licked his lips in a lewd manner. He showed no gentleness even towards the delicate princess.

Enraged, Tong Faran grabbed his knife and charged forward!

The eunuch kicked her away. Ran Li then killed her with a single sword strike.

Tong Faran fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his momentum remained unchanged.

A palace attendant pulled Princess Yongmu back.

Princess Yongmu drew a short sword and plunged it into his heart.

Enraged, the eunuch slapped her. Tong Faran rushed over, shoving the eunuch aside and getting blood all over her head.

Princess Yongmu stood still, seemingly unremarkable in the sunlight.

Some timid and some daring palace maids came carrying hoes and other tools.

With so many people in the Eastern Palace, killing a few traitors wouldn't be difficult. However, leaving them alive was beyond their capabilities.

Princess Yongmu was a weak woman, and her first priority was to protect herself. Besides, whether or not the survivors were spared, it would probably be up to the He family.

Even if it's the bookmaker or someone else, there will be a time for reckoning.

A female official suddenly exclaimed, "I wonder how the Emperor is doing?"

Guo Bing killed him with a single sword strike!

Even with blood splattered on her, she remained breathtakingly beautiful.

Di Baose was guarding the two princes in Qiuxiang Courtyard. To say they were useless was an understatement; their lives were in jeopardy.

Finally, the Eastern Palace was at peace, and a palace maid quietly crept over.

Di Baose thrust his sword forward.

Sunny was speechless. They could have easily tied him up; all that blood left behind would have to be cleaned up.

However, Lady Di is truly admirable!

The palace maid stared at her, then looked at Sanny. Was she going to save her?

No, Sunny was just trying to stop the bleeding by plugging her wounds; these things are like rats, hard to eradicate.

Di Baose was cleaned up by the palace maids, which was not a difficult task.

The baby inside was crying loudly.

Sunny was speechless. The Eighth Prince was very noisy.

Madam Sun checked and found nothing wrong. The child is just like that; perhaps he was frightened in the womb? Has the Ninth Prince developed this skill?

Perhaps the Eighth Prince was spoiled, while the Ninth Prince was more robust. The Eighth Prince was well-cared for by Consort Shi, but sometimes being well-cared for is tantamount to being spoiled.

The general ran to the Duke of Qi's mansion and then came back to deliver a message: "The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven is proceeding smoothly."

Guo Bing breathed a sigh of relief; the fact that it went smoothly meant everyone was safe. As for whether the traitor was alright, was that even a question?

There were also those who caused trouble in the harem, namely the affairs of Consort De and Consort Xian.

Showa-no-miya.

Fang Jieyu stood at the door with a knife, facing the several people who had fallen outside.

Despite coming from a scholarly family, she possessed a certain air of military bearing under the sunlight.

Fang Jieyu thought to herself, "Isn't it all because they were forced into this? I knew they were going to target Chang Zihan again."
