Wei Wangqing looked at these people: there were ministers, soldiers, nobles, and people from humble backgrounds.
But at this moment, everyone was questioning their existence and worrying about their future.
Although the Wu tribe members are all dead, the hidden dangers they planted remain.
Wei Wangqing raised his hand, and all the discussions stopped as they waited for the Empress to speak.
"Regarding whether this matter is true or false, I can only say that I do not know."
"After all, this matter has been the only version of events told by the Wu tribe from the very beginning. None of us have any evidence to prove that what they said is true, nor do we have any evidence to prove that what they said is false."
"Therefore, whether it is true or false is entirely up to you."
"But you must understand. You live for yourselves, not for others. So what if you are test subjects? Nobody knows the truth of what happened back then. Don't you really know why the Witch Clan spread this kind of news? Do you really want to give in to their wishes?"
"Even if what they say is true, that we are experiments, failures, so what? Since we exist, there must be a reason for our existence. Rather than saying we are failures, I think it's more accurate to say that God created us; it's a gift from the heavens."
Everyone who heard this statement was shocked. How could it be interpreted in this way?
Nan Xiangrong stared at Wei Wangqing with almost obsessive eyes. Seeing her like this made him feel so small and insignificant.
Meng Jiujiu smiled; she knew she could handle it well.
"Is that so?" a minister asked incredulously.
"Do you really think the Witch Clan has the ability to create us?" As he spoke, Wei Wangqing glanced at the corpses on the ground.
The ministers immediately followed His Majesty's gaze and looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground. It was really hard not to believe His Majesty's words; they were too convincing.
After all, no one can believe that they were made from these corpses scattered all over the ground.
Especially those soldiers, they suddenly realized that the Witch Clan wasn't as powerful or mysterious as they thought.
After all, these witches had just died at their hands.
Seeing this, Wei Wangqing smiled with satisfaction.
"As for your health, the Great Wei has existed for over five hundred years. Have you ever had any problems? Instead of worrying unnecessarily, you should do more things. Even those who are terminally ill don't seem as worried as you."
At the end, someone couldn't help but laugh.
Then, bursts of laughter rose and fell.
Some people even laughed until they cried.
Their worries during this period were indeed unfounded!
His Majesty's few words enlightened them.
Some people couldn't help but kneel down and shout loudly, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Then everyone knelt down and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wei Wangqing couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. "Alright, everyone go down. Don't think about these things anymore. Let's do more things and cherish the present."
"Yes!" a group of people shouted excitedly.
Only Meng Jiujiu noticed that His Majesty mentioned doing more work twice, which was just to make them work harder so that she could slack off more.
Meng Jiujiu felt that she had figured out His Majesty.
Unfortunately, I was too naive in my early years and got on His Majesty's pirate ship.
Meng Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh.
After the incident was over, Wei Wangqing ordered the proclamation to be posted on the city gate to inform all the people in the city and to stabilize public sentiment.
The Wu tribe was thus destroyed, and the matter finally came to an end.
With the peace agreement signed, Nanlin and his group should prepare to return to the capital.
After all, the Southern Dynasties couldn't be without an emperor for too long.
Of all these people, Nan Xiangyue was naturally the one who was most reluctant to part with her.
Of course, Nan Yuelin was also a little reluctant to part ways, even though some unpleasant things had happened.
But afterwards, I was very happy every day with my father and mother, and I always felt that time passed very quickly.
It's really hard to leave like this.
Prince An's Mansion.
"Oh, you've only been here a short while and you're already leaving again. I'm so sad to see you go!"
"Mother." Nan Xiangyue was also saddened.
Moreover, who knows when we'll meet again after this parting, or even if we'll ever see each other again in this lifetime.
The thought of this makes me feel terrible.
Seeing that his daughter was also saddened, Prince An pretended to be fine, "Oh, it's alright. I'm glad to see you living a happy life and having such a wonderful granddaughter. That's enough to make my heart's desire come true."
Nan Xiangyue felt a deep sadness welling up inside her; her mother's words sounded as if she were about to say goodbye forever.
"It's my fault for being unfilial; I shouldn't have done it in the first place..."
“My son, be careful what you say!” Prince An hurriedly interrupted.
Nan Xiangyue's heart skipped a beat. Luckily, Nan Lin wasn't there, otherwise, she didn't know how she would have had to coax him!
She was just being too outspoken.
It must have been an overwhelming grief to have caused this.
"Mother, does my brother still not want to return to the Southern Dynasty?" As she spoke, she glanced at Nan Xiangrong.
The south wind also looked south towards Xiangrong.
"I am a general on an expedition against the Great Wei, how can I go to the Southern Dynasty?"
Everyone knew perfectly well that he was unwilling.
If he had wanted to, he wouldn't have become a general in the first place.
Nanfeng has come to terms with it; children have their own destinies, and she no longer forces them.
Anyway, both of them are quite successful, and she has done right by Yue Rong. Their father would be pleased if he knew this in the afterlife.
Nan Xiangyue now knows who her brother did this for.
All I could do was sigh.
But this is good, at least someone can take care of her mother.
"Then from now on, Mother, I entrust you to my elder brother."
"I know."
What followed was a moment of silence, an invisible atmosphere spreading among the three.
"Then, I'll be going."
Ultimately, we have to take this step; all good things must come to an end.
"Yes, Yue'er, please be careful on your journey."
"Bon Voyage."
Nan Xiangyue turned and left, afraid that she would burst into tears if she looked back.
After Nan Xiangyue left, Prince An also sighed repeatedly.
I'm afraid I'll never see this daughter again.
Nan Xiangrong comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, at least Xiangyue is living a happy life."
Yes, that's why she was able to let her daughter leave.
Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, she will bring her daughter back to her side.
Looking at the son in front of her, she was torn between the happiness of marrying far away and the desire to keep him by her side, which she could not have.
When Nan Lin saw Nan Xiangyue's red eyes, he knew that Yue'er had been crying again.
He pulled her into a hug and said, "Yue'er, don't be sad. We'll come back to visit your mother again when we have the chance."
"Mm." Nan Xiangyue nodded.
Regardless of whether it was just a consolation or the truth, she buried her head in Nanlin's arms.
Soon after, the Southern Dynasty delegation set off to return to their capital.
After seeing the person off, Wei Wangqing breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, everything was back on track and things had calmed down again.
But before he could finish venting his anger, a palace servant came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant."
