"Our Emperor said that your Yong'an Emperor is too greedy. It's just a broken pill, why does it need so much silver?"
"They believe that your Tianlong Kingdom makes money through dirty means. They are reluctant to spend money, yet they are jealous of Emperor Yong'an's handsome appearance."
"The emperors of several countries met privately and ultimately agreed that each country would send a top expert to assassinate your Emperor Yong'an."
"The first person to arrive was from the Jin Liao Kingdom. He was an assassin from the Black Sun Organization, hired at a high price by His Majesty of the Bei Ling Kingdom. Their country is too small and they don't have any highly skilled martial artists, so they can only hire him by paying money."
"They believe that if Emperor Yong'an is gone, they will save face. Perhaps the Tianlong Kingdom will fall into internal strife without an emperor, and then they can get a share of the spoils."
"besides…………"
"…………".
Despite his fear of the snow wolf, the assassin stammered out everything he knew.
Knowing that the assassins would die if they succeeded, and would be silenced if they failed, the emperor of Miao Nan Kingdom did not hide the purpose of their assassination.
That's why he knows so much.
"Hmph, they're dreaming. I'd like to see which country is really in chaos."
With a wave of her hand, Liu Sisi sent the snow wolf and Xi Yu back into the space.
He ordered his men to tie the two men up, then applied medicine to the man with the broken leg and gave him water from the Bagua River.
"Keep an eye on them, make sure they don't die. We'll see how His Majesty deals with them tomorrow."
After a flurry of activity, Liu Sisi went back to her room to wash up and then went to sleep.
The next day, Liu Sisi, along with Wang Dani and Wang Erni, escorted the two women into the palace.
After Emperor Yong'an left the court, Liu Sisi told him what the assassin had told her and kowtowed to confess her guilt.
"This whole mess was caused by me making these beauty pills. I never imagined it would bring such a terrible disaster upon Your Majesty. I deserve to die. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Liu Sisi's voice was firm, as if the blame lay entirely with her. Emperor Yong'an remained silent for a while after hearing her voice.
“Please rise quickly, Anning. How can this be your fault? It is those small countries that are greedy and shameless.”
"I understand. The four small countries combined don't even have half the territory of our country. They've really gone too far to send someone to assassinate me. I will definitely avenge this."
Emperor Yong'an didn't know whether to be angry or happy, because the concubines of other countries regarded him as their dream lover.
The fact that the emperor of another country was jealous of his handsome appearance led to his death made him angry, but he also felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
"However, Your Majesty, the First Prince is among them..."
Liu Sisi didn't continue speaking, as this concerned the royal family's reputation, and it might not be appropriate for her to say too much.
"Yes, I know about this matter. I will handle it. These two can be executed by being torn apart by five horses. Does Princess Anning have anything else to report?"
Emperor Yong'an did not let Liu Sisi continue speaking, but changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, I desire maps of the Eastern Ling Kingdom, the Northern Ling Kingdom, and the Western Xiang Kingdom. She has the map of the Miao Nan Kingdom. Since this matter arose because of the beauty pill, I will personally avenge you."
Liu Sisi had made up her mind. Weren't they stingy? This time, she would make them all bleed a lot.
"I will send someone to find it and give it to you. You may leave now!"
After Liu Sisi left, a person appeared behind Emperor Yong'an and whispered something in his ear. Then, the person retreated to a place where they could no longer be seen.
"Go to the First Prince's palace," Emperor Yong'an said in a very low voice.
Eunuch Luo followed behind him, and another eunuch carrying a pot of wine also followed.
"Upon arriving at the First Prince's palace, the First Prince was hurling insults and profanities."
"You wretches, you're all wretches! What are you offering me, the prince, to eat? When I become emperor, I'll have you all dragged out and beheaded!" Then the sound of a cup shattering was heard.
"Your Highness, spare my life!" came the palace maid's pleading voice again.
Emperor Yong'an stopped Eunuch Luo, who was about to announce the arrival of the Emperor.
He waved away the people at the door and led Eunuch Luo and the others into the Crown Prince's palace.
"My son, you've already proclaimed yourself emperor. I'm still alive. Aren't you disappointed?"
Eunuch Luo gave a wink, and the kneeling palace maid also withdrew.
Upon hearing Emperor Yong'an's voice, Gu Lingyun knelt down with a thud.
"Your subject did not. You misheard me. It was not what I said. How could your subject utter such treasonous words!"
"Is that so? Then perhaps Father Emperor's hearing is not good and he misheard. I've been wronged by my son these past few days. Come, pour me and my son a glass of wine, let's have a good drink together."
After Emperor Yong'an finished speaking, the eunuch holding the wine stepped forward and poured a cup of wine for each of them.
Emperor Yong'an picked up his wine cup and looked at Gu Lingyun without a ripple of emotion.
"Your subject thanks Your Majesty." Gu Lingyun picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Emperor Yong'an did not drink. He put down his wine cup, turned around, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Yun'er, I have given you many chances, but you are simply not up to the task. So don't blame your father for being ruthless. After all, you were not merciful when you wanted my life."
After Emperor Yong'an left with his men, Gu Lingyun lay motionless on the table.
Emperor Yong'an's men discovered that the first assassin had secretly met with the eldest prince before the assassination attempt. The eldest prince's palace was not heavily guarded, which allowed the assassin to take advantage of the situation. He learned that the eldest prince was out of favor and was under house arrest.
Suspecting that the eldest prince was at odds with Emperor Yong'an, he approached the eldest prince.
They said they wanted to cooperate with the eldest prince. If they could provide him with Emperor Yong'an's daily routine and the specific location of his palace, and have the eldest prince send someone to poison the Imperial Guards, they would support the eldest prince to become the emperor of the Tianlong Kingdom if the assassination was successful.
