"No, it's impossible, how could you..." The queen's expression was no longer normal; she looked like a crushed persimmon, wicked and terrifyingly twisted: "How could you turn around and pledge allegiance to such an ordinary woman?"
Yuwen Sheng is one thing, but how many people in this world are as exceptionally talented as him?
But Zheng Quchi, what makes her so capable of getting these proud and arrogant people to publicly swear allegiance to her?
This is simply unbelievable.
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang simultaneously declared to everyone present, "The general has ordered that as long as we are here, no one can bully the lady!"
Knock knock—
Thump thump thump...

She was no ordinary woman; she represented Yuwen Sheng and all the power behind him. He could no longer view her as an ordinary woman or child.
Mu Jin downed his cup of wine in one gulp, his face full of sarcasm. "Yuwen Sheng is no longer here. Madam Yuwen has quite the cunning, managing to climb up to the Crown Prince of Ye in the blink of an eye. But it won't be easy for a divorced woman like you to marry the Crown Prince of a kingdom. You might as well make the most of this military trial. Who knows, you might get a good result, and the King of Ye might be so pleased that he might bestow a marriage upon you?"
