and screamed hysterically.Those who came with her were no longer shouting, for their children had been freed from the monks' restraints and could move about freely without injury.So they had now calm...The emperor could naturally hear the sarcasm in An Xuetang's words. He snorted coldly, "You think you can kill the princess of Xuan Guo An Xuetang, you are too conceited."
"Having said that, the emperor cast a glance at Mo Yunze and said to him, 'An Xuetang cruelly murdered the Princess of Xuan Country. For the sake of giving the Emperor of Xuan Country an explanation, today I can only let An Xuetang die for her crime. Lao Si, you carry out the execution yourself.'"
"...."
Mo Yunze's brows furrowed. His father sure knew how to give him trouble. He knew that An Xuetang had many capable people around her, yet he asked him to find a way to deal with her. It seemed his father also wanted to take this opportunity to test his strength.
Thinking about this, Mo Yunze showed a look of embarrassment and clasped his hands together, saying, "Father Emperor, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others, but I have to admit that I can't beat the two maidservants beside my fifth younger sister."
“The emperor rolled his eyes without any pretense. 'Trash,'”
Mo Yunze lowered his head and accepted the emperor's scolding of "waste," without uttering a single rebuttal.
An Xuetang looked at the two of them, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
The Emperor was just thinking about how to make An Xuetang pay with her life when he suddenly heard An Xuetang's abrupt laughter.
His brows furrowed so tightly they could have crushed a fly, and before he could utter a word, An Xuetang asked nonchalantly, “Father, do you truly intend for me to give my life for his”
"An eye for an eye, what about all the people you've killed Don't you even realize that the Emperor of Xuan Guo won't let you get away with it"
"Even if he doesn't want to let me go, what can I do Or does father think that the emperor of Xuan Country could do anything to me"
"You!" The emperor's face turned ashen with anger, "An Xue Tang! You are utterly arrogant. Do you truly believe that because you married the Northern Border King, a man everyone calls a god of war, he is invincible and can protect you from anything"
"Father, why pretend with me What happened at the gate of the Beijiang王府 just now, I believe you have already received news. I admit I was arrogant, but what gave me confidence besides my undefeated Northern Border King and the weapons in my hands, isn't it"
Upon hearing this, the emperor instantly sprang to his feet, his eyes, which should have been filled with murderous intent, now held only anticipation. “You... you truly possess such a weapon What exactly is it Come quickly... show it to me.”
"...." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
All the ministers seemed to have grown accustomed to this emperor's boundless disregard for rules. His heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea, unreachable by anyone.
Just moments ago, he was vowing to kill the Northern Border Princess and stop at nothing. Now, look at him.
However, most people, like the emperor, are also very curious about what kind of weapon An Xuetang had in her hand that was so terrifying to the enemy. What kind of power could such a small thing possess
At this moment, the emperor even thought, if An Xuetang was willing to hand over this kind of weapon, wouldn't he be able to unify the world
The more he thought about this level, the emperor's expectations in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
An Xuetang looked at him speechless, his constantly changing expressions eventually revealing an impatient look. She scoffed inwardly, thinking to herself, "With this emperor's intelligence, how on earth did he manage to successfully force a palace coup and ascend to the throne"
No one would so casually expect her to surrender her weapon, especially considering that just moments ago, she and the Emperor were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
What makes him think she'll just go along with his wishes
Seeing An Xuetang's ambiguous smile, the emperor finally came to his senses. His expression returned to normal, and he cleared his throat. "Well, what are your demands What do you want me to do before you hand over the item"
"My father has tried to take my husband and me's lives several times, so how can he expect me to give up anything If I did, my husband and I would probably be dead very soon."
The emperor's face darkened. He loathed Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang so much. Once he had obtained what was in An Xuetang's hands, he naturally wouldn't keep Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang alive.
Of course he wouldn't bring this up at a time like this. He immediately soothed her, saying, "If you're worried about this, then I promise you today, in front of all the officials, that the King of Beijiang and you will live without worry for the rest of your lives, how about that"
"... "
An Xuetang almost smiled, you really think your promises are worth anything, dog emperor
The emperor saw An Xue Tang did not speak, his face tightened slightly, "What This is not satisfactory"
After saying that, he pondered for a moment and then added, "Well then, since you're worried about your and Mo Yunjing's lives, how about I give you both amulets of immunity That should work, right"
An Xuetang curled her lips and glanced at Ning'er beside her. Ning'er knowingly took out a golden token from her waist.
Everyone looked, wasn't this the golden amulet that the emperor had mentioned
The Emperor's face changed, "You... how could you have a golden amulet of immunity"
“Oh, it was a long time ago. A gift from a friend. Today, Your Majesty didn't mention it, and I almost forgot about this useless thing. But I still remember when this friend gave me this golden plaque, he said it would only intimidate officials other than your Majesty. But when your Majesty refuses to acknowledge this golden plaque...it becomes nothing.”
“Nonsense!” The emperor naturally knew that An Xue Tang was speaking the truth, but he couldn't admit it. He glared at her now, “After the golden amulet of pardon was given out, I can’t take anyone's life if they possess it. So who is talking nonsense to you and slandering me like this”
"Who it is doesn't matter, what matters is that I don't accept your terms, Father. You want to give me a pardon in exchange for my weapons Your scheme is quite ambitious."
The Emperor knew it was impossible to persuade An Xuetang so easily. He clenched his hands tightly, "So what do you want What conditions are you asking for I'll try my best to meet them."
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. “Father, do you mean that as long as I agree to hand over what's in my hands, no matter what conditions I propose, you will fulfill them”
The emperor's heart tightened. An Xuetang was a cunning woman, and her words were most likely a trap for him. He naturally couldn't agree easily.
After staring at An Xue Tang for a moment, "First, tell me your terms. As long as they are not too excessive, I will naturally agree."
"Alright, since Father wants me to speak, I shall. The only condition for me to hand over anything... is that Father abdicates and my husband takes the Dragon Throne."
"!!!"
Everyone's face changed drastically, and the emperor was even so angry that he pointed at An Xue Tang, "Presumptuous, An Xue Tang! Don't be too overbearing. Who gave you the guts to say such outrageous words Do you really think you are a big shot"'t know what he wanted to do, and suddenly let out a cold laugh.His contemptuous laughter angered the emperor further. The emperor clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "What are you laugh...
