The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The eyes of Emperor Mingde and the Empress Dowager finally met like lightning.

The looks of both sides were sharp in their calmness, majestic in their sharpness, stubborn in their majesty, and naked provocation in their stubbornness.

Emperor Mingde just stared at the Empress Dowager, but the solemn orders were passed down one after another without stopping, "Strip the title of Princess Fengyang, demote her to a commoner, and exile her to Canglang River today!"

"Li Changying and Li Changde have violated the princess's residence. They are dismissed from their posts and will be exiled to the Canglang River today!"

"All registered slaves in the Princess's mansion will be sold to Mozhou! All unregistered slaves will be imprisoned and made slaves for generations!"

"All those who were directly involved in the Xiao Lingyin case will be killed without mercy!" Emperor Mingde stared into the Empress Dowager's eyes without missing a beat, and finally uttered two words slowly and solemnly: "Behead immediately!"

As the word "behead immediately" came out, the whole place fell silent. A crow flew in from somewhere and let out two hoarse "wow wow" sounds, sounding desolate and cold.

Everyone even stopped breathing, fearing that a breath would bring about fatal disaster.

In gaming, there is no right or wrong, only wins and losses.

This time, Emperor Mingde finally won! He stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. His face was calm and his eyes were clear.

This treatment is more of a slap in the face to the Empress Dowager than killing Princess Fengyang and others.

As long as Princess Fengyang and others are alive, people will remember that she, the Empress Dowager, had violated the rules and killed Princess Yuyang's family. Now Emperor Mingde is killing them ruthlessly.

The emperor clearly forced her to kill Princess Fengyang and her two nephews personally!

These two nephews, like Li Changjing who had just died, were very important figures in her camp.

The emperor used this case to cut off her left and right arms. It seemed that the punishment was random, but in fact, every step was well thought out.

She shouldn't have asked her two nephews to come to the princess's mansion today to help Shi Chengxuan get wine! She really shouldn't have!

What she thought was a seamless, tight net was actually full of loopholes.

It turns out there is a bigger net waiting for her!

Princess Fengyang Zhu Jinxi was even more terrified. She felt that she had not done anything against the law, so why was she exiled to the Canglang River?

If Mozhou is the most difficult place to survive in the entire northern wing, then Canglang River is a bitter and cold place that is even more terrifying than Mozhou, where it is impossible to survive.

Mozhou is just a barren place with raging sandstorms and rampant bandits, but at least there are government officials and a small number of rich people.

Canglang River is a place where there are no government officials or normal people. It is confined and people who enter it have never come out again.

Princess Fengyang had just run out in a panic without finishing her makeup. Now her hair was disheveled and she was filled with fear.

My mother’s screams are still ringing in my ears. He killed me without any room for maneuver.

Wasn't the system of collective punishment abolished? She was clearly still a child, why did they treat her like this?

The most outrageous thing she did today was just trying to seduce Shi Anxia's unmarried husband, Luo Cenyuan.

At that time, she led Luo Cenyuan to the prepared room.

Luo Cenyuan clearly followed her into the house, but for some reason, when she woke up, she appeared in front of people in such a shameful manner!

She was also a victim! She was plotted against! She was plotted against by Luo Cenyuan!

Besides, didn’t she not have the time to participate in the incident involving Princess Yuyang back then?

She was wronged! She refused to accept it! She was the most pitiful pawn!

Zhu Jinxi knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged, "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! Grandmother, please save your granddaughter!" She knelt in front of Zhu Lingxiu again, "Father! Father! Please save Xier! Xier will take good care of you in the future!"

Zhu Lingxiu turned his face away in disgust and gently closed his eyes.

Xiyingwei stepped forward and dragged Zhu Jinxi away, leaving behind a series of miserable screams.

Li Changying and Li Changde were completely sober now. Realizing that the emperor was serious, their knees softened and they fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, spare us! We, your servants, were also... harmed by Princess Chanyu!"

Emperor Mingde was arrogant and indifferent, leaving no room for maneuver.

Li Changying and Li Changde were then dragged away by the Xiying Guards, leaving behind a long string of cries for "Empress Dowager, save your nephew."

The Buddhist beads in the Empress Dowager's hand were almost crushed, and her voice trembled with anger, "Emperor, aren't you afraid that the historians will record your killing of innocent people? You don't want to be remembered for generations, but to be infamous for eternity?"

She knew that Emperor Mingde was very careful about his reputation and had the Northern Wing in his heart, and he would never want to leave a bloody stain in the history books.

Emperor Mingde asked seriously, "Who killed indiscriminately? Who is innocent?"

The Queen Mother choked.

Emperor Mingde suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, "What kind of emperor is he if he can't protect his elder sister, his subjects, and the people of his country! If the history books record it, it will be that I was cowardly and incompetent, and only wanted to protect myself! It will be recorded that I was a puppet emperor, allowing the empress dowager to monopolize power and the harem to interfere in government affairs!"

The Empress Dowager's pupils trembled violently. How dare the Emperor accuse her of "interfering in government affairs"!

She smelled an unusual scent of danger.

Emperor Mingde said, "Compared to a cowardly and incompetent puppet emperor, I would rather have the history books record a courageous emperor who overturned the verdict for his elder sister and avenged his subjects with blood splattered every five steps and flowed like a river!"

The Buddhist beads in the Empress Dowager's hand broke and scattered all over the floor.

Emperor Mingde took a step forward, forcing the Empress Dowager to take a step back. "My northern wing is now peaceful and prosperous! I have restored order and eradicated the evil. How can I be infamous for eternity? Does the Empress Dowager think she can still lie with her eyes open?"

The Empress Dowager felt a chill down her spine and was finally defeated.

She tried to maintain her last bit of dignity, her chest heaving a few times before she could calm herself down and speak solemnly, "Emperor, I know you are angry. You and Princess Yuyang have a deep relationship as siblings, and I went too far back then."

This was a very clever statement, and it sounded like the Empress Dowager was magnanimous and gave Emperor Mingde a low rank.

With just a few words about the deep love between brother and sister, the events of the past were easily forgotten.

Emperor Mingde's sharp eyes were filled with grief. "Did the Queen Mother just go too far? The Queen Mother clearly wants me to surrender! Let me know the consequences of not obeying!"

He stood in the peach blossom forest, and the wind blew, and the petals fell on him. This reminded him of the moment when he was given the imperial power, and he felt uneasy and yet full of passion.

Today, he finally stood up straight and proudly, no longer bending over or lowering his head, no longer enduring pain and frustration, and no longer having to force a smile.

He is the emperor! Imperial power is supreme!

He should have done as he pleased! If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die!

Emperor Mingde's face was grim and his eyes were filled with anger. "I have issued an order that anyone who breaks into the palace today will be imprisoned! You are the Queen Mother of a country, but you took the lead in disobeying the order. How should I deal with you?"

The Queen Mother's pupils suddenly dilated, "You! You want to punish me? I'm your mother!"

Emperor Mingde sneered, "Would my mother kill my eldest sister's family?" He waved his hand, "Western Shadow Guards, escort the Queen Mother to the Western Hills to worship Buddha! The Queen Mother needs to chant sutras for the dead souls of my eldest sister's family! Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave!"

"You! You! You!" The Queen Mother panicked, "I won't go... Emperor, you will regret it!"
