"Lord Liu, Lord Yuan, General Li…"
"This…this!"
The courtier was so frightened that his expression changed, and he fell to the ground with a thud!
The empress had always had a name that no one dared to mention, and that was the Asura of Hell!
Back when the empress ascended the throne, there was a serious civil strife in the court. The courtiers attempted to kill the empress and ascend the throne!
The empress used her iron-blooded methods to splash blood all over the entire Xuanzheng Hall!
After so many years, they were once again enveloped by the fear and horror from back then!
However, why did the empress behead three courtiers in a row?
These three were all old officials of two dynasties and had quite a reputation in the court.
Everyone wanted to ask the empress, but the fear in their hearts made them not dare to go forward and speak!
The empress crossed her legs and looked down at the officials below. Her fingers gently knocked on the edge of the table.
"I've been in power for decades, but I didn't expect to be betrayed by my own subjects one day.”
"I heard that many ministers in the court are secretly supporting the new master and want to overthrow my rule?”
Shangguan Wan 'er was also standing on the stairs below the dragon throne at this moment. She threw the three heads directly below.
The three heads rolled a few times on the ground, touched each other, and then spread apart!
The ministers could clearly see that the three heads had died with grievances, their expressions twisted in pain!
Shangguan Wan 'er wiped the blood off her face and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The empress has ordered that the mastermind be spared from death!”
"Otherwise! Just like these three traitors, his entire family would be beheaded!”
Betraying the empress meant that his entire family would be exterminated!
In this world where strength was supreme and the strong preyed on the weak, if the empress didn't use her iron-blooded methods, the Dayan Dynasty would have been toppled long ago!
The courtiers trembled and prostrated on the ground respectfully. They knew very well that the empress already knew who was behind this. This was just the empress giving them one last chance to show their loyalty and turn back!
……
Earth Peace Palace was peaceful at this moment!
Xue Cheng was lying lazily on the recliner while Wu Yueyue was sleeping soundly in his arms. The sunlight was still dazzling under the eaves!
Xue Cheng narrowed his eyes. In the morning, the empress had specially sent Wu Yueyue here, saying that Shangguan Wan 'er had to deal with some matters for her and couldn't take care of Yueyue. It seemed that she was prepared to make a move today.
Forget it. Xue Cheng lay on the reclining chair and closed his eyes again. His entire body entered his divine sense. He hadn't signed in today!
"System, I want to sign in here!”
The system's voice sounded instantly.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Pi Xiu!”
Xue Cheng's eyes widened as he saw a Pi Xiu with a body like a lion, head and tail like a dragon, and a color like gold and jade, with fluffy fur, wagging its tail at him. It was about knee-high!
A place that he had signed in for more than ten years had actually signed in a divine beast!
Pi Xiu was ferocious by nature and was a divine beast that attracted wealth and treasures. It was loved by the world!
Xue Cheng stretched out his hand and compared it with the object in front of him. It was obviously not ferocious, but rather rather cute…
At this moment, Wu Yueyue rubbed her eyes and called out softly," Daddy!"
Wu Yueyue saw the Pi Xiu behind her and her eyes lit up. She jumped down from Xue Cheng's arms and hugged the Pi Xiu!
"Doggy!"
"Daddy, is this a gift from you? What a cute dog!”
Wu Yueyue couldn't help but stretch out her hand to touch the fluffy fur!
Xue Cheng's mouth twitched. His daughter was not a dog, but a pixiu!
However, the Pi Xiu in front of him was happily being hugged by Wu Yueyue, sticking out his tongue!
It was obvious that he had yet to open his spiritual sense, so there was not much use in keeping him. At the moment, he could leave it to his daughter as a pet!
If Xue Cheng's thoughts were known by the world, he would probably be so angry that his teeth would itch!
Pi Xiu was one of the ancient divine beasts!
He didn't take good care of his divine sense and even used it as a pet for his daughter. It was really a waste of a heavenly gift!
At this moment, a palace maid hurried over. Xue Cheng narrowed his eyes. She seemed to be the empress's palace maid. It seemed like she had something to report.
Xue Cheng smiled and patted Wu Yueyue's head." You can take the dog to play first. Daddy has some things to deal with."”
When Wu Yueyue heard this, she happily ran to the other side with Pixiu in her arms. It was her first time raising a pet, so she had to think carefully and give it a name!
Pi Xiu smiled at Wu Yueyue foolishly and stuck out his tongue!
The palace maid walked up to Xue Cheng and bowed with a serious expression.
"Progenitor, the Empress has already found out that the true culprit who kidnapped the Princess a few days ago was Princess Xunyang!”
"The Empress is preparing to arrest Princess Xunyang today and has specially sent this servant to inform you that you must remain in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility with the Princess today to avoid any danger.”
Xue Cheng raised his eyes." Princess Xunyang?”
Princess Xunyang was the Empress 'twin sister!
The two of them looked similar, but their personalities were completely different. One was arrogant and domineering, while the other was noble and dignified.
The previous empress had been hesitating between the two sisters. Who should she appoint as the next successor and become the empress!
It was not until the civil strife in the imperial court and the previous empress's critical illness that the matter escalated until the Yan Dynasty was about to fall into chaos!
At this moment, it was Empress Wu Zhao who came out to take charge and stop the chaos by killing!
The ministers who had originally called for Princess Xunyang to ascend the throne and implement a benevolent government also changed their tune and called for the Empress Wu Zhao to ascend the throne!
It seemed that Princess Xunyang was unwilling to accept the empress's ascension!
Hiss…no wonder this Princess Xunyang would come up with such a lousy trick to abduct Wu Yueyue. She was probably trying to overthrow the empress's regime so that he could ascend to the throne!
It was just that the person who had kidnapped Wu Yueyue that day was a member of the Demon Cult. It seemed that in order to seize the throne, Princess Xunyang had not hesitated to collude with the Demon Cult. She had already gone mad!
The empress's battle was probably not as easy as she had imagined!
At this moment, another palace maid rushed over and knelt on the ground with a thud!
"Something bad has happened to Progenitor. Princess Xunyang has rebelled. She…she has already assembled the rebel army and is preparing to break through the palace gates!”
