West Palace.

Tianwu Hall.

"The Queen..."

The Imperial Guards and the Golden Snake Guards all stared blankly at the top of the Tianwu Palace.

Si Minglan inserted her hands into Lin Yuan's chest, and Wu Tai's sword pierced Lin Yuan's heart from behind.

Lin Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the red phoenix robe, making it look even more brilliant and bright red.

She grabbed Si Minglan's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "I never thought of killing Si Yuanwu..."

Si Minglan sneered: "It doesn't matter, you are going to die."

"Yiren, Zhou Lang..."

Lin Yuan muttered two names, and her eyes suddenly shone brightly. Her phoenix robe swelled up, and her spiritual power surged, forcing Si Minglan and Wu Tai away.

Si Minglan was already seriously injured, and now she was hit by the spiritual power emitted by the phoenix robe, making her face even paler.

Wu Tai spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground screaming.

"This phoenix robe is actually a magic weapon?! Wu Tai's sword missed by two inches!"

Si Minglan's pupils shrank slightly, and she saw that Lin Yuan had taken off her phoenix robe and the phoenix crown on her head had fallen off. Her long black hair was scattered, and she was wearing a white dress close to her body.

The graceful and plump figure appeared in front of Wu Tai, and the Qingfeng sword stabbed towards Wu Tai!

"Mother, don't!"

Wu Tai screamed loudly, and Lin Yuan paused with the sword in her hand, but ultimately failed to stab forward.

At this time Si Minglan pounced on her again. Lin Yuan gritted her teeth and threw out the Qingfeng sword. The three-foot Qingfeng sword suddenly exploded in the air, and countless fragments turned into sharp rays and shot out in all directions!

Si Minglan quickly stopped, her hands emitting red light to block the incoming fragments.

The surrounding archers screamed and fell to the ground.

When he looked up again, Lin Yuan had already flown away.

"The Queen...ran away?"

"The emperor is dead, the second prince killed the emperor, and the queen was deposed. What should the Western Dynasty do now?"

The Royal Guards and the Golden Snake Guards looked at each other, and for a moment they lost their backbone.

Si Minglan slowly stood up and looked at the soldiers below:

"I am the Marquis of Zhenguo. Now that the emperor has passed away, I should ring the Xichen Bell and order all civil and military officials to gather in Tianwu Hall to discuss the establishment of a new emperor!"

Si Minglan's words woke everyone up, and the eunuch chief hurriedly sent people to ring the Xichen Bell.

Instantly, the soul-stirring bell sounded throughout the entire West Imperial City.

When the people in the city heard the bell, they all knelt down:

"The emperor has passed away?!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away!"

"how so?"

Soon, civil and military officials and princes hurried to the Tianwu Hall, and were shocked to see corpses all over the ground.

Seeing Si Minglan standing on the top of Tianwu Hall, the older people were immediately shocked:

"The sinful daughter of the Si family?!"

The commander of the imperial guards beside him said hurriedly, "Lord Zuo, the emperor confessed his guilt before his death. The Si family was wronged by the evil queen Lin Yuan. The spirit of General Si Yuanwu was placed in the imperial temple, and Si Minglan was named the Marquis of Zhenguo!"

The white-haired Lord Zuo was shocked: "How is it possible?! The evidence is irrefutable that the Si family colluded with the Demon Sect to rebel, how dare you forge the imperial decree?!"

Several ministers who were not young at the side also said:

"How dare you slander the Queen? Are you colluding with that sinful girl from the Si family to plot a rebellion?!"

"Where is His Majesty? Where is His Majesty?!"

"The emperor is here!" A cold voice sounded from the top of Tianwu Palace.

The ministers looked in horror and saw that Wu Zheng's body was supported by a ball of spiritual power and slowly fell from the sky.

Everyone knelt down and cried:

"Your Majesty!"

"The emperor has really passed away?!"

"Your Majesty!"

The white-haired Lord Zuo rolled his eyes and suddenly raised his finger to point at Si Minglan:

"It is you, the sinner. You must have assassinated the emperor for revenge!"

"Master Zuo, be careful with your words!" A commander of the Imperial Guards said to him:

"We were all present just now, and we can all prove that the words of the Marquis of Zhenguo are true. The emperor has vindicated the Si family and conferred the title of Marquis of Zhenguo on Si Minglan. All of this was done by the demon queen Lin Yuan!"

After he said this, the royal guards around him agreed and were willing to testify.

"Are you guys planning to rebel?!"

Lord Zuo pointed at the imperial guards and shouted angrily.

"Zuo Lin!"

Suddenly, a strange and cold voice sounded. Everyone looked up and saw Si Minglan in red clothes had flown into the air, overlooking the group of old ministers who had followed Zuo Lin in scolding her.

"Shen Yuanzhi, Zhang Luoxin, Feng Zhen, Li Xi, Chen Nanxun, Fang Kelin, Xu Changsheng..."

Si Minglan's cold gaze swept across the faces of this group of old ministers, and she read out their names one by one, there were dozens of them.

"Twenty years ago, in order to please Lin Yuan and Wu Zheng, you wrote a letter to the emperor to accuse the Zhisi family of treason and collusion!"

"As important officials of the court, you knew that there were many suspicious points in the Si family case, but you ignored the truth and became accomplices just to please the emperor and the queen!"

"The seventy lives of the Si family will all be counted on you!"

A group of old officials, led by Zuo Lin, suddenly changed their expressions and pointed at Si Minglan in the air:

"You daring criminal, this is the imperial palace. Even if the late emperor conferred upon you the title of marquis, it is not your turn to speak so arrogantly here!"

"Hahaha!" Si Minglan suddenly burst into laughter:

"Do you really think I care about a mere title?"

"What does the Western Dynasty have to do with me?"

"I summoned you here just to gather you together so that it will be easier for me to kill you."

"You, you, you... don't come over here!" Zuo Lin raised his hand and pointed at Si Minglan. Suddenly, he felt a breath of death and stepped back in fear.

The other old ministers were equally horrified and were about to turn around and run away, but Si Minglan suddenly raised his hand and a huge claw mark left in the air.

He struck directly in the middle of this group of old ministers.

ah!!

ah!!!

Instantly, body parts were flying and blood was raining all over the sky.

More than 30 old officials who participated in slandering the Si family were all turned into pieces on the ground.

Si Minglan slowly descended from the sky, looked at the countless tokens floating in the air, and knelt on the ground:

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother...Lin Yuan is the only enemy left of the Si family. Once I kill her, I will come and reunite with you."

Si Minglan knelt down towards the token in the air, and the surrounding soldiers and civil and military officials looked at each other in surprise.

Now the emperor has passed away, the empress has been deposed, and all the ministers with the longest seniority are dead.

In such a huge Western Dynasty, there is no one who can make the decisions.

"Marquis Zhenguo, what should we do now?"

A commander of the Royal Guards stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

In fact, he was also very confused at the moment and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, the highest-ranking official in the field was the newly-appointed Marquis Zhenguo, so everyone subconsciously looked at Si Minglan.

Si Minglan stood up, looked around, and her eyes fell on a pale young man.

This man's name is Wu Heng, and he is the sixth prince of the Western Dynasty.

Wu Heng stared at Si Minglan blankly, his eyes full of awe and admiration. Si Minglan looked at him, her eyes suddenly flashed red, and she smiled and said:

"The eldest prince is dead, the second prince killed the king, so naturally only the sixth prince is qualified to be the new king."
