Pick up a female emperor as a wife

Facing the furious Nangong Wan.

Lian Shisheng yawned and said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero. I just made the right choice, and I didn't betray you."

See that he really betrayed!

Nangong Wan did not hesitate and made a prompt decision: "Come here, capture Lian Shisheng!"

Although he is Lian Jiusheng's biological brother, the control of the Imperial Guard must not fall into the hands of Queen Mother Chunyuan and the Lu family.

Otherwise, she would lose her only chance to deal with the seven powerful families.

"Hahaha!!!"

Lian Shisheng laughed wildly: "Your Majesty, since I dare to come here to tell you this, it means that there is no one in the palace who can rival me!"

"Where are the Blood Plum Blossom, Blood Guard, Water and Fire Priests?" Nangong Wan shouted.

I looked around, but there was no response.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry about it. The grandmasters around you are all restrained by the grandmasters of the Lu family.” Lian Shisheng sneered.

Nangong Wan's heart sank again.

But she did not give up: "Have you forgotten? I have a super strong man who killed Feng Xi and four level nine masters by my side. If you don't surrender now, I will definitely let him kill you!"

Lian Shisheng's eagle-like eyes were filled with deep fear.

He was just a ninth-level expert. If he met that person, he would be killed instantly.

only!

He laughed wildly a few times and clapped his hands: "Come out!"

Then a maid appeared from the shadows.

It was Xiaonan, the maid who usually served Nangong Wan.

Her appearance means that she has also betrayed Nangong Wan.

Except for not knowing Nangong Wan's real gender and Qin Chuan's affairs, this woman knew almost everything else.

Nangong Wan’s pale face became even more bloodless.

"Your Majesty, your reaction is enough to show that you should know that I have surrendered to the Queen Mother. You should also know that the Queen Mother also knows that the master who killed Feng Xi is not with you!" Xiao Nan leaned on Lian Shisheng's chest and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Nangong Wan couldn't help but take a few steps back and leaned against a stone pillar to steady herself.

Lian Shisheng stared at Nangong Wan with contempt and issued an ultimatum: "Your Majesty, Xue Meihua and others have been led into the trap set for them by the Lu Mansion. Don't even think about coming back tonight. This means that no one in the palace can compete with me, Lian Shisheng!

When I return to the military camp, what can they do to me even if they are grandmasters?

The Queen Mother is magnanimous and will give you a whole night to think about it!

If you are unwilling to take the initiative to issue an edict to give up your throne to the Seventh Prince Nangong Zhao tomorrow morning, then wait for Shen Yang to disband the border guards and let the Western Rong Kingdom invade!"

"Traitor! Are you worthy of your loyal and righteous ancestors of the Lian family?" Nangong Wan cursed.

"Haha, Your Majesty, it's up to you to say whatever you want. You only have one night. Secondly, I will convey a message to you from the Queen Mother. If she doesn't want to bear the stigma of regicide, she will attack you tonight!" Lian Shisheng's voice was filled with murderous intent at the end.

Nangong Wan was not afraid: "Lu Zhiyan is afraid that if she kills me, other noble families will take the opportunity to attack her! If she has the ability, let her kill me!"

Nangong Wan was right, this was indeed the reason, but Lian Shisheng did not respond. Instead, he reminded Nangong Wan again that she only had one night to prepare.

At this moment, the shadow guard also came over after hearing the news.

However, Lian Shisheng did not show any fear. Although he was also a ninth-level master, he had already taken half a step into the grandmaster level.

His strength is not that of an ordinary ninth-level master, but can be compared to that of an eighth-level master.

If he wants to escape, no one can stop him tonight.

What's more, he controls the Royal Guards and it is impossible for him to come here alone.

Of course Nangong Wan knew all of this. If she ordered the Shadow Guards to kill him, it would probably be futile. Nangong Wan had no choice but to order the Shadow Guards to disperse!

"Ha ha!"

Nangong Wan's move made Lian Shisheng even more arrogant: "Your Majesty, I will come again at dawn, and I hope you can give me a correct answer then. By the way, Your Majesty, please don't think of abandoning the city and running away. The Imperial Guards are in my hands now, and you can't escape even if you have wings!"

Lian Shisheng laughed wildly a few more times before he hugged Xiaonan and left.

Nangong Wan sat weakly on the steps and waved her hand to signal the shadow guard to leave.

She was unwilling to give up her position to Nangong Zhao.

This person is a puppet of the Lu family. If you give up your position to him, you will be replaced by the Lu family soon.

The century-old foundation of Qian Kingdom will be burned to ashes!

She tried hard to think about how to resolve this crisis.

But now it is impossible for her to collect the military funds within the time stipulated by Shen Yang, and Shen Yang's decision to disband the border defense force is unstoppable.

If she does not agree to Queen Mother Chunyuan, the invasion of Qian by the Western Rong Kingdom is inevitable!

She also wants to take a gamble!

The seven powerful families are also afraid of foreign invasion, and will eventually give Shen Yang military pay.

But she found that she couldn't afford to take the risk. What if the seven great families were in cahoots with the Western Rong Kingdom?

Isn't this exactly what they want?

There must be another way!

There must be...

at the same time.

Lian Shisheng has reported back to the Cining Palace.

After returning to the imperial capital, Empress Dowager Chunyuan looked much better and her temperament became more noble than when she was in Qingyang City.

In addition, the Seventh Prince Nangong Zhao was also in the Cining Palace.

This man is thin and looks like he has been drinking and having sex too much. How can he look like a king?

When Lian Shisheng saw the Seventh Prince, even though he knew that he was just a puppet of the Lu family, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Seventh Prince!"

Nangong Zhao was in no mood to pay attention to him. He was still flirting with the maidservant beside Empress Dowager Chunyuan.

Lian Shisheng cursed inwardly, "What a waste."

He then reported to Empress Dowager Chunyuan and told her what had just happened.

After hearing what Lian Shisheng said, Queen Mother Chunyuan behind the screen was very satisfied: "You have done a good job. If the Seventh Prince succeeds in taking the throne, you will be the first to do so! I believe that after the Seventh Prince takes the throne, he will let you replace your brother Lian Jiusheng!"

Lian Shisheng was excited: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"

"Overturn the Tiangang! You should thank the Seventh Prince, do you know that? He is the future emperor!" Queen Mother Chunyuan said unhappily.

Lian Shisheng hurriedly thanked Nangong Zhaocheng again.

But Nangong Zhao still ignored her and continued flirting with the maid.

Lian Shisheng finally understood why Queen Mother Chun Yuan chose to make Nangong Zhao a puppet. He was simply a waste!

If we let him become emperor, given his lustful nature, anyone could find any reason to depose him in the future and change the dynasty!

Empress Dowager Chunyuan could know what that useless Nangong Zhao was doing even through the screen.

She didn't want to even look at this piece of trash: "Nangong Zhao, Lian Shisheng, you two should leave first!"

"Here!"

As they retreated.

Mo Ruxue walked from the cabinet to the Queen Mother Chunyuan and said happily: "Zhiyan, according to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before you sit on the throne!"

Although Empress Dowager Chunyuan felt that she had a sure win, victory was indeed only a matter of time.

But she was still cautious: "Mother, it's too early for you to say this. Although Shen Yang's mutiny has created a great opportunity for our Lu family, everything is still uncertain before the dust settles!

Even if the emperor is powerless to save the situation, the other six powerful families will definitely not be willing to let us take control of the government!

And Yu Wenyan seems to have done nothing so far, which is very abnormal.

I suspect that the chaos in Xiliang City was caused by his collusion with the Xirong people at home and abroad, so he must deal with it carefully!

Only after we take care of them all, can the throne belong to our Lu family!"

"Mother believes that as long as you are here, everything will be settled." Mo Ruxue said expectantly.

Now she is more eager for Lu to control the court than Empress Dowager Chunyuan, so that she will have the opportunity to replace Empress Dowager Chunyuan.

Empress Dowager Chunyuan had no idea that Mo Ruxue was also planning to replace her. Now her thoughts were all on how she should deal with the six powerful families and Yuwen Yan after the emperor issued an edict tomorrow!

time flies.

The sky was already white-bellied.

Nangong Wan, who had not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes. She thought about the problem all night but could not come up with a solution.

Now that Xue Meihua and the others have not appeared yet, it means that they are indeed entangled by the great masters of the Lu family and cannot help her.

As the sky began to show signs of clearing up, footsteps were heard again outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Nangong Wan's heart tightened, it must be Lian Shisheng coming!

She sighed and thought, perhaps this was her fate.

The hundred-year-old Qian Kingdom has come to an end!

But when the footsteps got closer, Nangong Wan, who was already ready to give up her seat, looked up.

The people who came were not Lian Shisheng, but Qin Chuan and Qingyue.

He, what happened to him? !
