“Ghost!!!”

The frightened courtier.

His legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his face pale with fright.

Even his crotch was wet and gave off a foul smell, and it was obvious that he was very scared.

The others quickly took several steps back, their eyes filled with fear, their legs shaking, and their palms and backs of their hands sweating.

If they were not so brave, they might have been scared to the point of peeing their pants as well.

A figure with a blue halo appeared, looking like Gu Tianshou.

But his feet were off the ground, and the shadows of his legs were very blurry, almost merging into a cloud.

Just like the ghost described by the storyteller.

When he left the corpse and opened his eyes, a look of confusion appeared on his face: "Isn't this old man dead? Why am I still in the hall?"

The sound he made made everyone present gasp.

Many court officials' faces froze.

The copper bell-like eyeballs almost popped out of their heads. "It really is a ghost, a talking ghost!"

"That is the soul of the prime minister of the current dynasty." Someone objected.

However, more people were terrified.

He kept wiping the sweat from his palms, but the cold sweat did not stop and instead spread throughout his body, making him feel cold all over.

They swallowed hard, their voices trembling. “How on earth can they do this? They can’t even let the dead rest in peace, and they can even call out their souls.”

"This is no longer a mortal's method. Could it be that the Qin family's son-in-law is an immortal?"

"I'm afraid so."

Besides fear, they looked at Xu Qiu with a hint of admiration in their hearts.

At this moment, Gu Tianshou, who had become a ghost, looked at everyone in confusion, seeing them staring at him.

Suspiciously asked, "What are you looking at?"

Until one of the courtiers pointed at his body and said, "You are dead, where is your body?"

Gu Tianshou, who was in ghost form, looked up and found himself committing suicide with blood oozing from his neck.

He took a step back in fear.

Then he looked at his own body. Now he was just a halo, his whole body was transparent, even his hands were transparent.

As he was in shock, Xu Qiu's voice came slowly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me go even if you became a ghost?"

Gu Tianshou looked at Xu Qiu with a dull expression. He stood there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.

He threatened the other party before he died.

Now that he has become a ghost, Xu Qiu still looks at him with a half-smile, and his calm demeanor makes people feel cold all over.

Gu Tianshou's Adam's apple moved up and down.

I can't utter a word at this moment.

Even though he was a ghost, his hair stood on end when he saw Xu Qiu.

Finally, all he could say was, “How did you do that?”

"you guess?"

Xu Qiu did not answer his question.

He casually pulled out a broken jade from his waist, which looked like a burial object found in an ancient tomb.

"Since we have an irreconcilable feud, then I can only cut the weeds and eradicate them completely." Xu Qiu held up the broken jade.

With the activation of spiritual power, the soul of the Prime Minister Gu Tianshou was dragged directly into the broken jade as if being pulled by a huge force.

“No, no!”

Gu Tianshou kept scratching the air, trying to grab anything, but all his efforts were in vain.

Finally, the broken jade emitted a faint red light and then dimmed, as if nothing had happened.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent.

Even the Empress An Qintian remained silent. She didn't know whether to laugh or feel sad.

Because she had watched coldly as Xu Qiu was impeached for his contempt for the royal family, and she didn't even care about this guy's life.

now……

She was just beginning to think.

He was interrupted by Xu Qiu, "Okay, now that the Prime Minister has been executed, let's talk about the next topic."

At this moment, no one dared to object or speak. Everyone was silent, even An Qintian, as if waiting for the final judgment.

Xu Qiu did exactly what they wished.

"Now the whole Daqian is in chaos, and the bad practices in the officialdom continue, forcing the people to live in poverty. A new king is needed to reform."

"So, I nominate An Lan to take the position. Who supports and who opposes?"

Xu Qiu glanced at everyone coldly.

All the ministers in the court nodded frantically, no one dared to object, and suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, congratulations to the new king!"

"Congratulations to the new king!!!"

Afterwards, such sounds continued to be heard, echoing throughout the entire hall.

Everyone knelt on the floor and kowtowed to An Lan.

Seeing this scene, An Qintian also collapsed on the throne. What was supposed to come finally came.

She admitted that she was a complete failure as an empress.

When he first ascended the throne, he was full of vigor and vitality, and stabilized the political situation with the force of thunder and lightning.

But after taking the throne, she completely relaxed and allowed the government to change. As long as her position was not endangered, she would turn a blind eye.

Until today it caused a disaster.

An Qintian's face was full of dejection.

Fortunately, she now has the identity of An Lan's mother, otherwise, Xu Qiu might attack her.

On the contrary, An Lan's momentum suddenly rose, and she eventually became the new queen. Although the process was unexpected, the ending was what she expected.

At this time, Xu Qiu gently patted her shoulders and said, "After you take office, don't be as useless as your mother. Govern Daqian well."

"Yes." An Lan nodded gratefully, "I will never forget your kindness."

Xu Qiu nodded slightly.

The purpose of his doing all this was, of course, not just for An Lan, he just wanted a stable rear base instead of the situation where the Qin family was about to fall every other day.

What's more, Daqian really needs to be governed well.

Otherwise, if the people rise up in rebellion one day, he would have to leave Daqian.

Xu Qiu pretended to leave.

Suddenly, An Lan called him and asked timidly, "Is Qin Jianjia still a general of Daqian?"

She needs someone to help her.

Qin Jianjia is indispensable.

Otherwise she would not be able to control the army.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xu Qiu's inner voice, "That girl is the Saint of Qingluan Valley, and you still want to command her, how bold are you?"

"Forehead……"

When An Lan heard this, he was stunned. After not seeing Qin Jianjia for more than two months, she actually became the Holy Maiden of Qingluan Valley?

But she soon calmed down.

It is not difficult to understand why Xu Qiu could become the junior elder of Qingluan Valley and Qin Jianjia could become a saint.

Qin Jianjia then stepped over and said:

"If you need help, I can help you."

"Then could you please, Her Excellency the Saint, take charge of the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards again?" An Lan's tone was somewhat respectful. The new generation of emperor actually used a tone of please.

Qin Jianjia nodded gently, "No problem."

After saying this, she followed Xu Qiu out of the hall.

Seeing their backs gradually disappearing, all the court officials breathed a sigh of relief. At least they had finally managed to hold out until this killer left.

Unfortunately, their relief didn’t last long.

An Lan's sharp eyes swept over everyone, and then he ordered the Imperial Guards, "Pass on my order, strictly guard the gates of the capital, prohibit the ministers' families from leaving the capital, and send people to surround the residence of the North Vietnamese delegation and strictly guard it!"

A lieutenant of the Imperial Guards came over in a hurry, bowed and said, "I obey your order!"

Then he led some royal guards away.

Now is the time for them to make peace.

At this moment, An Lan's order made everyone feel cold all over. They didn't expect that the new emperor would be so petty.

They had no idea that they had once been extremely opposed to An Lan becoming the crown prince and had joined forces to bring her down. Now, An Lan was sitting on the throne because of Xu Qiu.

She did not need the approval of her ministers to ascend the throne, so she could act with impunity.

After all, Qingluan Valley and Xinyue Pavilion are the biggest endorsements.

No matter how powerful you are, can you beat Xu Qiu? "Everyone, it's time to settle the accounts." An Lan looked at everyone with cold eyes.
