"Madam!"
Seeing that Rong Xi was determined to take action, the Fourth Prince knew that his attempts to dissuade her were futile, so he stopped talking, sighed, and said, "Be careful!"
"If you cannot defeat them by force, retreat for now. As long as you're alive, you can always fight again!"
Although Rong Xi spoke with great confidence, the Fourth Prince still felt that the matter was somewhat unreliable.
Rong Xi smiled faintly, said nothing more, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.
Since Emperor Kangxi was so eager to confer the title of Empress upon the Holy Maiden of the Xiaoyao Sect, she naturally had to present a grand gift in return.
"Fourth Princess Consort, please stop!"
As Rong Xi approached the Qianqing Palace, a group of imperial guards leaped into the air and blocked her path.
"roll--"
Rong Xi spoke.
The Taotie opened its mouth and exhaled a breath.
In an instant, all the imperial guards who stood in front of Rong Xi, regardless of their cultivation level, were blown away by Taotie's breath.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Imperial guards, blocking the way, descended from the sky, crashing onto the palaces, landmarks, and towering trees of the Forbidden City. For a moment, it was as if a rain of people had fallen.
The most severely affected place was naturally the Qianqing Palace, which was right next to it.
The newly restored Qianqing Palace has suffered another calamity. Large holes have appeared in the roof and walls.
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi was embracing Yan Wuyue affectionately when a group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared in the hall.
"ah--"
Yan Wuyue, the dignified saintess of the Xiaoyao Sect, suddenly cried out in alarm like a frightened fawn, burying her head in Kangxi's arms.
Such a petite and charming woman instantly aroused Kangxi's protective instincts.
However, at this moment, Kangxi must have been completely out of his mind. Yan Wuyue's cultivation was even higher than his; how could such a trivial matter possibly cause her such panic?
Unfortunately, Emperor Kangxi lost his mind.
"waste!"
With a stern shout, Kangxi unleashed his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, blasting all the imperial guards who had fallen into the hall away. These poor guards, loyal to Kangxi, were instead subjected to a secondary attack by him.
Fortunately, these people are at least at the Golden Core stage, so even if they were tossed around like this a hundred or eighty times, they wouldn't suffer much damage.
However, the emotional damage far outweighs the physical trauma.
"Ulanara clan, are you planning a rebellion?"
Kangxi walked out of the Qianqing Palace step by step, looked up at Rongxi who was still in mid-air, and shouted angrily.
"Yinzhen, you unfilial son, how have you disciplined your wife!"
After reprimanding Rong Xi, Kangxi turned his gaze to the Fourth Prince behind him.
"Father, my wife was kidnapped by the Xiaoyao Sect and barely escaped. Instead of standing up for me and my wife, you still want to make this Xiaoyao Sect witch your empress."
"Your Majesty, may I ask you, do you still have your son, me, in your heart? Do you still care about the Qing Dynasty and its people?"
The Fourth Prince was truly heartbroken.
This time, Rong Xi was lucky enough to escape, but what about next time? He is a prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his wife is the princess consort of a prince of the Qing Dynasty.
Mencius said, "If a ruler treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then the ministers will treat the ruler as their heart and soul; if a ruler treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers will treat the ruler as a stranger; if a ruler treats his ministers as dirt and weeds, then the ministers will treat the ruler as an enemy."
If Emperor Kangxi treated them as such, why did they regard him as their father and ruler?
"You unfilial son, I will execute you today to uphold the law of the land!"
Kangxi spoke coldly.
"Long live!"
Standing beside Kangxi, Yan Wuyue suddenly spoke up, "The Fourth Prince was merely momentarily bewitched by a woman. Please don't hold a grudge against him. The bond between father and son is blood!"
"This rebellious son, if I don't kill him, my heart will not be at peace!"
Emperor Kangxi was already furious, and Yan Wuyue's advice only added fuel to the fire. He clearly remembered that Yan Wuyue had previously asked him to issue an imperial decree to make her the fourth prince's concubine.
"Dragon, come!"
Instead of taking direct action, Emperor Kangxi used the Dragon Token in his hand to awaken the guardian dragon of the Qing Dynasty.
As Emperor Kangxi issued the imperial edict, thunderclouds suddenly rolled across the sky above the Forbidden City.
A huge rift appeared in the void, and a five-clawed azure dragon with blue scales poked its head out from the rift.
When Emperor Kangxi summoned the dragon to appear, all the princes, nobles, and civil and military officials in the capital were alarmed, and a group of people appeared in the sky above the Forbidden City at top speed.
Even the Empress Dowager, who had been in seclusion, broke out of her seclusion.
According to the ancestral precepts of the Qing Dynasty, the guardian dragon should not be used lightly unless it is a matter of life and death, with the extinction of the clan or race.
Now that the true dragon has awakened and been born, who can fail to sense its terrifying aura?
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
The Empress Dowager appeared, looked directly at Kangxi, and spoke coldly.
"Your Majesty, this rebellious son, Yinzhen, and his wife have committed treason and rebellion. Today, I will punish them!"
When Kangxi saw the Empress Dowager appear, a trace of unease finally showed on his frantic face. The Empress Dowager's appearance cleared Kangxi's feverish mind somewhat.
But at this moment, countless nobles, princes, and civil and military officials were suspended in mid-air. If he were to stop now, his imperial authority would dissipate.
"Nonsense!"
The Empress Dowager's gaze quickly fell on Yan Wuyue, who was standing next to Kangxi. Yan Wuyue was surrounded by the dragon aura of the Qing Dynasty's national fortune.
"Who is this woman? Why are you so hasty in choosing an empress?"
"Yan Wuyue greets the Empress Dowager!"
Noticing the Empress Dowager's gaze, Yan Wuyue quickly greeted her.
