Mingzhu is dressed in red today. Yes, she copied Huo Xiaolong's usual short outfit. Actually, Mingzhu's appearance is not suitable for red; she is more suited to lake blue.

But she just wanted to...

I was wearing the same clothes as the prince, so I wasn't afraid anymore.

Yes, Mingzhu was just an arrogant princess before. What made her rebel and seize power was a strong belief that kept her going.

How many times, when she felt she couldn't go on, did Mingzhu think: If the prince were by my side, would he protect me? Would I not be so tired if he were here with me?

If she were by my side, I would never be afraid.

She would stand in front of me, knife in her right hand, her expression arrogant and provocative, pointing at Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother with her left hand, and say:

"You bunch of worthless cowards dare to mess with my Mingzhu?"

Thinking of this, Mingzhu looked at her clothes and said:

“My two elder brothers, you have quelled the imperial guards without imperial decree and stormed into the palace to coerce our father and sister. This is an act of rebellion, a crime deserving of death. If you two surrender now, Mingzhu will plead with our father to spare your lives.”

"Otherwise!"

"Kill without mercy."

As Mingzhu uttered those last words, the woman in black behind her shielded her, drew her sword, and pointed it at the two princes.

"Yuqin!"

"Yuqin, stop aiding and abetting evil!"

Yuqin really finds them bothersome.

"Aren't you two annoying? You're so irritating! Besides your pretty faces that I can still like, what's good about either of you? Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?"

"From beginning to end, all I wanted was to be husband and wife with you two for one night! I never considered marriage, taking a wife, or becoming a concubine."

Upon hearing this, the private soldiers who had followed the rebellion immediately turned into spectators.

Even more so for Mingzhu!

"Yuqin, you're lying to me. Didn't you just say that you slept with my fifth brother?"

"That's right! Your seventh brother hasn't had a chance yet."

"Guards! Fire the arrows! Mingzhu, you were the one who erred first!"

The Seventh Prince interrupted the two of them, saying that he and the Fifth Prince were both princes, and how could they allow a nameless woman to be treated like a plaything?

He and the Fifth Prince were like concubines to be chosen by Yu Qin, so she had to die with them.

Look, these are the men who would have plucked the stars from the sky for you; nothing is more important than themselves.

Mingzhu grasped Yuqin's hand, gently and calmly waved it, and then said:

“Kill them.”

Afterwards, she led the woman in black back to the emperor's bedroom.

Empress Xu was also there. She put the emperor in a wheelchair so he could hear the fighting outside.

Mingzhu pulled Yuqin back to the room, took the wheelchair from her, and said softly:

"Dad, look, Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother are here. Who do you think will win?"

In truth, Emperor Da'an knew that it was already a miracle that his two sons were alive today.

They had no idea of ​​Huang Ranhu's status in the Huang family army. His soldiers worshipped him as a god, and they hated Huo Xiaolong, but that's how war is.

General Xiao, who preceded the Great Yan, died at the hands of Huang Ranhu; war always results in death.

But at least the commander-in-chief could be given a complete body.

Mingzhu was their second master.
