"Ah..." Jiang Qiyuan felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself surrounded by a group of angry people.

"What do you want to do? Ah!" He screamed in horror, but the only response he got was the excruciating pain of the ruthless knives piercing his body.

Jiang Qiyuan was attacked by the angry crowd, and the blood gradually dyed the ground red.

Jiang Xue looked at all this and felt a sense of relief, but also an indescribable sadness.

She looked up at the sky, covered her eyes with her sleeves, and a tear quietly slid down her cheek. "Yun Che, why do I still feel so heavy in my heart even though I avenged my parents?"

Her voice was choked with sobs, which touched Xiao Zhan's heart. He walked forward, gently held her in his arms, stroked her hair with his big hands, and left a comforting kiss on her ear.

"My Xiaoxue is a sentimental person after all."

Seeing this, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the bruised and deformed corpse with mixed feelings. This man had killed his father, insulted his mother, and even tried to eliminate him and his siblings. He was really hateful.

However, he also remembered that when they were young, this person had treated him and his sister with sincerity, taking them to enjoy lanterns and teaching them to read and write. When did this person start to deteriorate?

However, no matter what, he is the murderer of his parents and a traitor to his country. Whether out of justice or personal hatred, he must be punished accordingly.

When the people's hatred was finally vented, Meng Chunyi ordered the scene to be cleaned up. Jiang Qiyuan's body had been shattered by multiple knife wounds and was almost shattered at the touch of a finger.

"Put him in a bag and send him to the mass grave." Jiang Chen frowned and ordered in a deep voice.

Meng Chunyi stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Facing this old minister who had taught him since he was a child, Jiang Chen responded with deep respect.

"General Meng." He bowed to return the greeting with a solemn attitude.

"Now that Your Highness has returned, the matter of ascending the throne cannot be delayed. Now the forces of the three countries are plotting against the Qian Kingdom with ulterior motives. Please ask Your Highness to ascend the throne quickly and stabilize the situation." Meng Chunyi has been worried about the foreign enemies these days, but with the return of the legitimate heir, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Wu Mengchuan also advised: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne as soon as possible and lead us out of this predicament."

"Brother Emperor." Jiang Xue wiped away the tears from her eyes, stood up from beside Xiao Zhan, and presented the imperial seal with both hands: "Now is the best time for you to be restored to the throne. With the witnesses of the people and the Tieyun Army, everything is just right."

Jiang Chen took the seal and held it high above his head.

This action instantly aroused the response of the entire audience, and everyone knelt down together to welcome their true leader.

At the same time, in the dense forest not far from Phoenix Terrace, Ding Tu's men reported to him: "Master, King Yuan is dead, and our people were killed on Phoenix Terrace."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick branch was broken by Ding Tu.

"That woman... must be eliminated." His eyes were as cold as a knife, pointing directly in the direction of Phoenix Tower.

"Go back and tell Queen Lian that we need more time to deal with this matter and ask her to be patient." Ding Tu ordered.

If no prior notification is given, subsequent retaliation will surely follow.

The subordinate hesitated and said, "There's news from Queen Lian that because this operation failed, the medication for this month has been stopped."

Hearing this, Ding Tu was furious: "What? Are you afraid that I will get angry? Just say it clearly."

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with his men's cowardly behavior.

Ding Tu's men were so scared that they lay on the ground, not even having the courage to raise their heads. There was a loud "clang" and Ding Tu smashed the tree trunk with his hammer again.

The big tree, which had already had its branches broken, now had a big hole smashed into it.

Ding Tu was burning with anger. He clenched his teeth, knowing that the poison was about to take effect.

If no antidote is found, he will once again suffer unspeakable pain.

It was all Jiang Xue's fault! If she hadn't intervened, Si Ruochen would have died long ago, and he wouldn't have to endure such humiliation.

"Tu...Lord Tu..." The assassin felt the murderous aura all around him and couldn't help but tremble all over.

He had served under Ding Tu for many years and had never seen such a ferocious expression.

"Get up and follow me." Ding Tu said coldly.

Since Jiang Xue made him suffer, he would never let her have an easy time!

When the news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne came, Ding Tu sneered. Being an emperor is not an easy thing!

"Your Majesty, this is what needs to be discussed during the meeting with the envoys from the three countries. Please take a look." Jiang Chen was busy with state affairs as soon as he ascended the throne. He even skipped the coronation ceremony and started his busy work directly.

Faced with a mountain of documents, Jiang Chen pressed his forehead lightly, feeling a headache.

Even if you work non-stop, it will take days to finish.

At this time, Jiang Xue walked in and saw her brother looking at the memorial in his hand with a frown on his face. She asked with concern, "What trouble has my brother encountered?"

"Ba Hai, an official of Qian State, actually proposed to cede ten cities in exchange for peace!" Jiang Chen angrily threw the memorial on the table. "After following Jiang Qiyuan for two years, his ability has not improved, but he has learned to sell out his country for fame and fortune."

"The power behind Bahai is powerful. It was he who supported Jiang Qiyuan in usurping the throne. Now that he has made this suggestion, I am afraid he has the support of the mastermind behind the scenes. We cannot confront him head-on and need to act with caution." Jiang Xue analyzed.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Jiang Chen asked.

At present, except for a few trusted veterans, almost no one in the palace can be trusted. Although Jiang Qiyuan is dead, the forces behind him still exist and pose a huge threat to Jiang Chen.

The Bahai clan plays a very important role in the court, and touching them easily may cause political instability.

Jiang Xue suggested: "I heard that Bahai has close trade relations with Beixi. Perhaps if we ask Beixi envoys to come forward to negotiate, there will be a turnaround."

These words made Jiang Chen suddenly enlightened, and the gloom on his face eased a little, but the worry in his eyes still lingered.

"I'm not familiar with the people of Beixi," he said frankly.

"I do have a candidate." Jiang Xue raised the corners of her mouth, and a suitable person emerged in her mind.

At the same time, in the inn, Murray felt a chill passing through the back of his neck as soon as he walked out of the room, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his neck.

The strange thing was that although the weather was not cold, his neck felt chilly.

"The Fourth Young Master Mo is here again?" Inside the Mo family mansion, Si Ruochen looked a little helpless when he heard the servant's report.

Why does Murray visit so frequently?

The two of them are not actually very familiar with each other.

"Your Highness, maybe the Fourth Young Master Mo feels that he gets along well with you and wants to get closer to you," Qiu Qianhuan analyzed.

This taciturn young man's enthusiasm for His Highness was particularly prominent, especially during His Highness's recovery period, when he sent supplements and medicinal herbs every day and showed great care.

Now that his highness had fully recovered, Murray came less often, but still frequently.
