As they were talking.
The leader of the Imperial Guards entered the main hall and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Your Regent, just now when Master Hongchen left the palace, he happened to be seen by the envoy of the Wushui Kingdom. The envoy of the Wushui Kingdom insisted that Master Hongchen had offended him, stopped Master Hongchen, and forcibly brought him here, saying that he wanted to reason with Your Majesty. I failed to stop him and kneel down to beg Your Majesty and Your Regent to punish me."
Upon hearing this, Linghu Lan exclaimed, "How dare you, you brat!"
This mere envoy really treated the Yu Kingdom's palace like his own backyard.
Even a sister like you has to be pampered, and you dare to stop someone from having the six palaces pay their respects to you?
"Guards! Slice the envoy from Wushui Kingdom to pieces, execute him by slow slicing! Those who just stopped Master Hongchen, behead them all and display their heads to the public! The Imperial Guards failed in their duty, tarnishing the prestige of our mighty Yu Kingdom. All those on duty shall be given thirty strokes of the cane, and the leader of the Imperial Guards shall be fined three months' salary. If there is a second offense, they shall be punished accordingly."
Linghu Lan's voice rang out loudly in the spacious hall.
Everyone was shocked. Was this a case of someone risking everything for the sake of worldly affairs?
The envoy, who had just been dragged to the door, was truly terrified this time.
She thought she had come to show off her power.
Before coming, she conducted a detailed investigation and found that although Regent Jiang Yun had some methods, he was not a bloodthirsty person.
This can be seen from the fact that she outmaneuvered many other princesses in the struggle for the throne, yet chose to support a four-year-old child.
Moreover, when she arrived, the Regent was lying in bed recovering from his injuries, and his fate was unknown.
The court officials treated her as if she were in their own home.
She truly treated the Kingdom of Yu as her own backyard, which is why she was so captivated by Hongchen's beauty upon first meeting him, fell in love at first sight, and did something foolish.
She had already realized that the regent was nothing like the legend.
It's clearly a fierce tiger!
He was a tiger in heat, yet he wanted to tear her to pieces for the sake of the mortal world!
She was filled with anger and regret, and fear amidst her regret; her legs trembled and her voice shook.
"Regent, spare my life! Let me go back! I will definitely beg the King to make peace with the Yu Kingdom..."
Some were moved by the envoy's words, but under Linghu Lan's powerful aura, no one dared to plead for them.
"Drag him away and slice him to pieces!!!"
The envoy finally fainted from fright. What a tyrant!
Shortly afterward, several screams were heard.
The commander of the Imperial Guards entered and reported, "Your Majesty, Your Regent, the guards brought by the envoy from Wushui Kingdom have been beheaded, and the envoy is being prepared for execution!"
Linghu Lan looked around and calmly said something.
"Those who offend my Great Yu, though far away, shall be punished! If you want war, then let us fight!"
The entire court fell silent.
Those who offend Yu the Great, though they may be far away, shall be punished!
These words were like a shot in the arm, giving everyone immense strength and courage.
Jiang Wujiang held Linghu Lan's hand tightly. At that moment, she seemed to understand what the emperor should do.
If the emperor survives, the country survives.
A strong emperor leads to a powerful nation.
This time, no one had a way out.
Only war!
...
Outside the palace.
Hongchen was stunned for a long time.
He had come in to express his gratitude.
He was somewhat shaken when the people of Wushui Kingdom were killed.
But the vibration was very small.
After all, the Regent had treated him differently just now.
In this world, men are inherently weak. With his looks, everyone sees him as easy prey, and he's gotten used to it.
But……
That bold statement, "Those who offend Yu the Great, though far away, shall be punished," truly shook the mortal world.
His usually calm heart finally stirred.
This is the true majesty of the mighty Yu Kingdom. A simple sentence seems to outline the future of Yu the Great!
He peered intently through the window frame at the direction of the dragon throne inside the main hall.
She is extraordinary!
