Ming Zheng replied coldly: "Your Majesty knows that I have doubts about you, so why did you use me? Aren't you afraid that I will side with my second brother?"

Ateler’s face darkened: “You won’t, because your woman’s life is still in my control.”

King Atel had already made up his mind not to rescue her. Axia's life was hanging by a thread, so how could he be controlled? Unless you could remove the poison in her body.

"I will detoxify her, but you have to help me protect the capital." Ming Zheng put forward the conditions.

"As long as I can save Axia, I'm willing to do what you say." Atel agreed without hesitation.

Then, A Taier threw a porcelain bottle to Ming Zheng: "Let Yun Xia take this pill, and her poison will dissipate."

Ming Zheng was surprised at Atair's straightforwardness. It took him a while to react and thank him.

Artel knew very well that if Artek occupied the capital, not only would Mingzheng and Yunxia be doomed to die, but the tyrant Artek would also plunge the entire city into a sea of ​​blood.

Therefore, he believed that Ming Zheng would fulfill his promise in order to protect the capital.

After returning home, Ming Zheng immediately gave the antidote to Yun Xia.

Yun Xia took the pill, but she still had doubts...

"A Zheng, do you think Atel is really so kind? He is the man who didn't even let his own father go, so how could he give us the antidote so easily?" Yun Xia put the pill down, her tone full of doubt.

"I was skeptical, but I still hoped that this was the real antidote, so I brought it back."

Ming Zheng held Yun Xia's hand tightly: "Don't worry, I will have someone verify the authenticity first."

"I won't eat it, it must be fake."

Yun Xia broke free from Ming Zheng's hand, grabbed the pills, threw them on the ground and crushed them, and said that she trusted Xiao Zhan more.

Ming Zheng sighed helplessly. Since the antidote was destroyed, there was no way to verify Atel's sincerity.

In fact, the destroyed antidote was actually a precious "Yuan Gu Dan". In order to win Ming Zheng's support, Atair paid a heavy price.

The next morning, Atel was ready to go to war, and his sister Ateli came and asked to go with him.

"No."

Atelier rebuked lightly, but his voice was full of tenderness: "Ateli, the battlefield is no joke, stay in the capital and wait for my return."

"But……"

"Take good care of my nephews for me." After saying that, Atel rode away, leaving only his back to his sister.

Ateli secretly promised in her heart that she would take good care of his children and not let her husband worry on the battlefield.

Not long after, Atel arrived at the border, but there was no news from Tianshui Kingdom, which made him feel uneasy and wondered if something unexpected had happened.

To be on the safe side, he decided to send another letter and enclose half of the treasure he had found as a token of good faith.

This time, the Tianshui Kingdom responded and sent troops to confront the Qian Kingdom.

Atel predicted that once the three kingdoms went to war, Xixia and Dongxiang would also take action, and Qian Kingdom would be busy dealing with multi-front wars. This was a good opportunity for Southern Xinjiang to negotiate for independence.

That night, the capital of southern Xinjiang was shrouded in flames of war. Soldiers marched through the city with weapons in hand, and the entire city fell into chaos.

The people were terrified and closed their doors, praying that the storm would not affect their safety.

The next morning, some brave people went out to inquire and found out that the second son Artek had murdered the third son Mingzheng last night, took control of the palace and proclaimed himself king.

The situation in southern Xinjiang changed suddenly.

For ordinary people, the change of power is nothing more than a game between rulers, and they only seek a peaceful and stable life.

The new king, Artek, sat on the throne, all his past oppression swept away, because this position belonged to him - his mother had made great contributions to the country.

Artek looked at Jiang Xue beside him and said, "Princess, you keep your promise. If it weren't for your help last night, this matter would never have been so smooth."

"Second Young Master, Atair will rush back after hearing the news. My people have set up an ambush on the road he must pass through. As long as you get rid of him, your throne will be as stable as Mount Tai. Please remember to remove the Tongsheng Gu from my body." Jiang Xue said calmly.

"Don't worry Princess, I will keep my promise."

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and Ateli's voice was clearly audible: "You traitors, why don't you get out of the way? Do you want me to take action?"

Artek smiled contemptuously: "I almost forgot about this silly sister."

Jiang Xue thought for a moment and asked, "How do you think we should deal with her?"

"Princess, what do you think is best?" Artek asked back.

Artek decided to end the lives of Artel and Mingzheng, but showed mercy to Arteli, thinking that saving her life would at least preserve a little bit of his reputation.

However, Artek thought that his reputation was ruined and it didn't matter if he killed one more person, and tentatively asked the princess if she had softened her heart.

Princess Jiang Xue responded that she had long been accustomed to killing and had no mercy on it.

She said that if Atek was determined to kill Ateli, she would not stop him because her goal was to make southern Xinjiang docile and peaceful.

Artek said sarcastically that anyone who could become a princess must be cruel and ruthless and could not have mercy.

He ordered the guards to let in Ateli, who rushed into the room, pointed her sword at Atek, and demanded to know what he had done.

Artek mocked Ateli, saying that he was just sending Ateli's three sons to the underworld first, and promised to reunite them as soon as possible.

An enraged Ateli attempts to stab Atek, but she is no match for him and is quickly defeated and grabbed by the throat.

Atek threatened that if Ateli did not obey, he would reunite her with Ateli's sons in the underworld.

As Atek increased his force, Ateli's breathing became difficult, her face turned red, and she struggled desperately but to no avail.

At this moment, Jiang Xue picked up the sword on the ground, put it on Atek's neck, and ordered him to let go of Ateli.

Artek was confused after letting go, and Ateli took the opportunity to ask Jiang Xue to kill Artek.

Artek asked Ateli contemptuously who she thought she was to dare to command the regent princess of Qian Kingdom.

When Ateli learned that the woman in front of her was the legendary regent princess, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

Jiang Xue put down her sword, calmly admitted her identity, and told Ateli that anything was possible, including that she was Jiang Xue herself.

"Are you Jiang Xue, the regent princess of Qian Kingdom?" She suddenly realized that everything that happened recently seemed to be related to Jiang Xue.

"In the past two years, Atel has been secretly recruiting soldiers and horses in an attempt to break away from the control of the Qian Kingdom. How could the Qian Kingdom sit idly by? So I came to southern Xinjiang to deal with it myself." Jiang Xue explained.

Ateli pointed a finger at her, her body shaking with anger.

"Jiang Xue, you actually deceived me like this! You teamed up with my second brother to kill my nephew. I will never forgive you!"

After saying that, she pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and rushed towards Jiang Xue.

She originally planned to plot against Artek, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into someone else's trap.

Jiang Xue dodged the attack easily, then pressed Ateli's acupoints, making her unable to move.
