A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

boom!

The entire court was instantly thrown into a state of turmoil.

They had considered that Qin Ze might cause trouble for the Chen family.

But no one expected that Qin Ze would dare to slaughter the entire Chen family!

What a murderous intent!

On the dragon throne!

Emperor Renzong of Zhou was even more terrifyingly silent!

He just said that Qin Ze would not be punished.

The next moment, the other party was found to be acting on behalf of the emperor, abusing his power and committing treason—it was utterly outrageous!

At that moment, the way he looked at the old lady changed.

That's it!

He, a dignified emperor and the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was actually outmaneuvered by an old woman.

it is good!

That's great!

"Your Majesty, this humble woman takes her leave!"

"Step down!"

Wait until the old lady is completely gone!

The smile on Emperor Renzong's face vanished instantly, his imperial countenance turned cold, and his eyes revealed a sinister and ruthless expression.

He gripped the armrests of the dragon throne tightly with his fingertips, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.

He slowly looked down at the officials below, his tone icy and chilling, completely devoid of the gentleness he had shown just moments before.

"This Qin family, relying on the late emperor's favor and their numerous military achievements, are increasingly disregarding me! They mobilize three thousand Inkscale Guards at a moment's notice; they clearly haven't taken my warning to them seriously!"

The entire hall was utterly silent, filled with civil and military officials!

Silent as a cicada in winter!

snort!

What a Qin family!

Eight Tigers is dead!

Another prodigy has emerged!

It's truly a blessing from heaven!

That's how it is!

Then let this Qilin fall into the water and become fish and shrimp!

With just a glance, the old eunuch beside him slowly retreated!

This scene made all the officials in the court wary.

Only then did they realize that in the emperor's eyes, there were no loyal ministers.

There are only obedient and disobedient dogs!

The reason why the Prince of Zhenbei and the Eight Tigers died remains a mystery.

Although the urgent report that came back said he was besieged and killed by the Empress of Northern Mang!

But everyone understood that it was highly likely that someone inside had secretly tipped them off; otherwise, with his years of experience in battle, how could the Prince of Zhenbei have been so easily put in a deadly situation!

But no one dared to discuss this matter, let alone mention it.

"My esteemed subjects!"

What are your thoughts on Qin Ze?

Faced with Emperor Renzong's question, no one dared to step forward and answer.

But that's precisely why!

The more this fueled Emperor Renzong's anger, the more intense it became.

"Your Majesty, Qin Ze is nothing but a spoiled brat. His actions are incredibly reckless and he is utterly unfit for any important position!"

Someone stepped forward!

A slight softening of the frost on Emperor Renzong's face!

"How could I not know such a simple truth?"

"What I want is your opinion of the Qin family!"

At this moment, everyone understood what Emperor Renzong was referring to.

It's simply that the Qin family's Zhenbei King has achieved so much that he has overshadowed the emperor, and there's no one left to bestow a title upon him!

The Emperor wants the Qin family's military power and wants to seize the territory and all the soldiers from the Prince of Zhenbei!

But no one dared to mention such things.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhenbei and the Eight Tigers are dead. Even if the Qin family has three thousand Inkscale Guards, they can't cause any real trouble!"

"This old minister suggests that we strip the Prince of Zhenbei of his military power at the border!"

"Furthermore, the hereditary system should be abolished!"

"If Qin Ze wants the position to be hereditary, he needs to perform meritorious service!"

Once the first person steps forward, a second person will soon follow.

Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is nothing new in the imperial court!

Emperor Renzong was very satisfied with everyone's suggestions.

"Your Excellencies are quite right!"

"But I have already decreed that his position will be hereditary and permanent..."

"Your Majesty, you promised before!"

"Given Qin Ze's纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute young man) nature, he will undoubtedly make more mistakes in the future. At that time, everything will be decided by His Majesty!"

Emperor Renzong heard these words!

I feel a little more at ease!

"Very well, my esteemed subjects!"

"But we must be wary of those three thousand Inkscale Guards!"

After speaking, Emperor Renzong narrowed his eyes, and the ruthlessness in his eyes terrified all the high-ranking officials and generals in front of him.

"Your Majesty, in a few days, our Great Zhou will be competing against our neighboring countries in the literary arena!"

"If you want to cause trouble for the Qin family, why not take advantage of this opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Renzong of Zhou gave a cold smile.

A literary battle!

Although it is nominally related to the fate of the nation!

But the strength or weakness of a nation cannot be determined by the few words of Confucian scholars.

Didn't Qin Ze's eulogy astound the literary world?

it is good!

I am watching!

……

Meanwhile, the entire capital was abuzz with rumors about the Chen family!

All the prominent families reached a consensus without prior agreement!

That means Qin Ze is not someone to be trifled with!

Those who originally intended to take action against the Qin family are now observing the situation.

After this incident!

Shen Zhiwei discovered that she was taking over the Chen family's businesses with unusual ease!

In the past, those powerful families would definitely have stepped forward to compete for it!

When the old lady returned to the Qin residence, Qin Ze ran out with a worried expression.

"Grandma, you've worried me to death!"

"Have you entered the palace?"

Seeing his grandmother dressed in the attire of a first-rank imperial lady, exuding unparalleled grandeur, Qin Ze understood the situation without even thinking.

"Hmph, you brat went and slaughtered someone's entire family. If I, this old woman, didn't lend you a hand, do you think you could escape unscathed?"

"You are the last bloodline of my Qin family!"

"By the way, did the previous seniors receive any rewards?"

The old lady had wanted to ask about this for a long time.

Unfortunately, I never had the chance.

"Grandma, we need to sleep together!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady's smiling eyes widened instantly.

"What? You mean you didn't even have sex with the third brother..."

"Is it that the third brother disagrees? Or...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ze quickly began to explain.

"Grandmother, it requires mutual affection and a meeting of minds; otherwise, the senior will only bestow ordinary rewards!"

"If we can achieve mutual affection and a meeting of minds, what you give me will be a hundred times better than before!"

"Although Ningzhi is willing to come with me, your grandson wants to maximize the reward!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she immediately tried to hit Qin Ze with her dragon-headed cane.

"A reward, a reward, can you bestow this upon your descendants?"

"What's the purpose of helping you get married and letting you shoulder all the responsibilities?"

"This is to ensure the continuation of the Qin family line, yet you treat it as a transaction?"

"Tonight, I must sleep with Ningzhi!"

"This is Grandmother's death order, understand?"

He was genuinely angry when he saw the old lady.

Qin Ze dared not refute!

"Grandmother, rest assured, your grandson will surely have many children tonight."

"Hmph, that's more like it!"

Night falls!

Qin Ze hesitated as he looked at Liu Jinghong and Su Ningzhi's room.

I don't know which one to go to!

Seeing that the two women's rooms were brightly lit, he knew they were waiting for him!

Su Ningzhi sat upright at the table, looking at the red candlestick on it, the candles dripping continuously, but Qin Ze still did not appear.

A sense of loss welled up inside me.

But when she thought of Qin Ze's words, "I will never forget you once I've seen you," she felt that Qin Ze would definitely look for her!

Just as she was about to blow out the candles!

Qin Ze's voice came through.

"My lady, are you still awake?"

Seeing his stealthy movements, Su Ningzhi's eyes lit up instantly.

Similarly, she couldn't help but giggle.

"My husband, just come in. Why are you acting like a thief?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze pushed open the door and entered.

Once inside!

He then felt his mouth and throat become dry!

The beautiful woman wore only a thin red silk lining.

The woman's graceful figure was perfectly showcased by the inner lining.

The size, which was barely visible, was unbelievable to him!

He felt it!

The mountain is so big that it cannot be grasped in one hand!
