Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

"Who is this person?" Seeing a woman breaking into the palace, one of the secret guards in the dark asked curiously, his eyes fixed on the woman who rushed into the palace desperately.

"Have you seen the jade pendant around her waist? It belonged to the Queen. I heard it was for the Crown Princess. Look at the two guards in the dark on her right, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er. They are masters around the Crown Prince." Another secret guard answered in a low voice with a hint of awe in his tone.

"Xuan Yi? Xuan Er?" The secret guard who asked the question was shocked and immediately understood the woman's identity.

He shook his head, pretending not to see it, but he was secretly wondering in his heart: What is the identity of this woman? Is she the Crown Princess? When he thought of this, he immediately shut up.

He was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more questions at this moment.

After all, matters in the palace often involve complicated political struggles and power changes, which are not something a small secret guard like him can interfere with.

When Feng Qingyu brought Jiang Xue quietly to the Golden Palace, the people around them were immersed in chaos and did not notice their arrival at all.

Jiang Xue tightly gripped the pistol in her hand, her eyes fixed on the situation inside the Golden Palace.

Suddenly, she saw a man picking up a knife, intending to assassinate the emperor sitting on the high throne.

Jiang Xue suddenly felt a strong desire to protect the emperor. She couldn't let anyone hurt the emperor, and she couldn't let the rebellion continue. So, she raised her pistol without hesitation, aimed at the second prince Xuan Yuli who was about to kill the emperor, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot echoed throughout the Golden Palace.

Xuan Yuli was shot in the leg, lost his balance and knelt down. He looked down at his injured leg, blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain, quickly staining his clothes red.

"Li'er!" the queen exclaimed, her face as pale as snow.

"Second Prince!" Everyone shouted in horror and rushed towards Xuan Yuli, trying to support him.

"Master!" Xuan Yuli's confidants looked anxious and rushed forward.

Xuan Yuli clenched his teeth and endured the pain. He raised his head, his eyes filled with anger and hatred, staring at Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue's gun was still pointed at Xuan Yuli, her eyes were firm and indifferent, without any fear.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the Golden Throne Hall was extremely tense, and everyone held their breath and watched this scene.

This sudden change stunned everyone present. They all turned to look at Jiang Xue with suspicion, not knowing what this woman who suddenly appeared was holding. However, Jiang Xue was unaware of the surprised looks of the crowd. She had only one belief in her mind: to protect the emperor and quell the rebellion.

"Xue'er..." Jiang Chen frowned when he saw Jiang Xue appear in the Golden Throne Hall, with an expression of surprise and worry on his face.

"Ah Chen, are you okay?" Jiang Xue saw that Jiang Chen was safe and sound, and the heavy stone hanging in her heart finally fell. But she soon realized that the atmosphere around her was unusually solemn and unusual.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Chen's tone was slightly reproachful. He turned his gaze to Feng Qingyu and instantly understood the reason.

"I'm worried about your safety." Jiang Xue responded concisely. Her eyes were firm and resolute, and it was obvious that she was mentally prepared to deal with any difficulties and obstacles.

Xuan Zhentian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was slightly startled. His eyes swept across the crowd below and finally fell on Jiang Chen. He noticed that the usually indifferent Crown Prince Jiang Chen was so concerned about a young girl, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious, but he didn't have time to think about this question at the moment. Because everything that happened before his eyes had made him realize that a serious crisis was approaching, and he had to take action immediately to resolve the rebellion.

"Xuan Yuli, what else do you have to say now?" Xuan Zhentian's voice was majestic and heavy, with an irresistible force. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

Xuan Yuli's body trembled slightly when he heard his father's questioning. He slowly raised his head, and a look of pain appeared on his face. His eyes were bloodshot, and tears kept flowing down, soaking his clothes.

"I hate it! I hate myself for not being cruel enough!" Xuan Yuli clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood oozing out from between his fingers. His voice was filled with endless pain and despair, which made people feel pity.

Xuan Zhentian frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes. He stood up, strode to Xuan Yuli, and kicked him in the chest. Xuan Yuli groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

"Rebellious son!" Xuan Zhentian roared, his voice echoing in the hall, deafening. His eyes revealed disappointment and anger, as if he wanted to tear Xuan Yuli into pieces.

Xuan Yuli was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, with blood on the corner of his mouth. He struggled to get up and stood up shakily. He looked at Jiang Xue, with a hint of doubt and fear in his eyes.

"What on earth is this thing and why can it hurt me so badly?" Xuan Yuli muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the dagger in Jiang Xue's hand, his heart full of confusion.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly stood in front of Jiang Xue, fearing that she would be hurt. His eyes were firm and cold, and he said loudly to Xuan Yuli: "Second Prince, at this point, you don't have to ask these questions anymore. You should explain to your father why you did such a treasonous thing!"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I, Xuan Yuli, have no regrets." After Xuan Yuli finished speaking, he resolutely picked up the knife beside him and committed suicide in the Golden Throne Hall.

This action shocked everyone present, including his mother, Yang Guifei.

"Li'er!" Yang Guifei was heartbroken. She didn't expect her son to choose such a path. However, the emperor's order was always following her, cold and ruthless.

"Come here, have Yang Guifei shave her head and become a nun, and send her to the imperial mausoleum to guard it. She cannot leave for the rest of her life." The emperor's voice was cold and firm. He never showed mercy to betrayers.

"Yes." The guards responded and took Concubine Yang away. "Your Majesty, all this is your fault."

Yang Guifei's voice echoed in the Golden Palace, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

However, Xuan Zhentian was not moved by this. "Search all the Yang family's property, execute all the members of the family, and exterminate all nine clans, leaving no one alive. All the generals and officials appointed by the court who participated in this operation will be treated the same way."

Xuan Zhentian's words were like ice, making everyone present feel the threat of death.

The head of the Yang family took a few steps back unconsciously, "My Yang family is finished."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"Your Majesty, I was forced to do this. My Yu family is loyal to the emperor."

"My Hei family is the Second Prince's ghost when alive and the Second Prince's soul when dead."

"My Meng family is not afraid."

……

Various pleas for mercy, excuses, and expressions of loyalty were heard one after another, but none of them could change the emperor's determination.

This palace coup ultimately ended with Xuan Yuli's failure.

......

Only after all the people in the hall were dealt with did Xuan Zhentian slowly turn his gaze towards the hall below. His eyes moved through the crowd and finally fixed on Jiang Xue.

She has a pretty face, gentle temperament, and a jade pendant hanging around her waist.

Xuan Zhentian's memory was instantly pulled back to many years ago. He remembered that he had made the jade pendant for Qin'er himself. At that time, Qin'er was smiling and said that this jade pendant would be given to the Crown Princess in the future.

Thinking of this, Xuan Zhentian's heart surged with emotion, and he asked, "Who is this girl?"

Xuan Yuchen was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly replied: "Father, her name is Jiang Xue, and she is the person I like." His tone was full of firmness and tenderness, and it was obvious that he had deep feelings for Jiang Xue.

Xuan Zhentian was stunned again when he heard this, "Chen'er, the jade pendant is for this woman."

"Yes," Xuan Yuchen held Jiang Xue's hand tightly.

''His Majesty.''
