With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

The Empress Dowager saw the provocation in her eyes and her chest heaved with anger.

This little bitch is so arrogant and disrespectful. Today, we must eliminate her at all costs.

"Someone come here..."

"I'd like to see who dares to lay a hand on His Highness." Bei Chenyan stood in front of Nangong Wu and questioned the Empress Dowager:

"May I ask Your Majesty, do these women have any evidence that His Highness poisoned the prince?"

"How dare you!" Nangong Lingling pointed at him angrily, seeing that even a male concubine dared to question the Empress Dowager. "What are you? You're nothing but a lowly wretch, how dare you speak to your grandmother like that?"

Nangong Wu's gaze turned cold. "Xiao Lin, beat him up."

"Alright!" Bei Chenyan immediately took action, slapping him hard across the face.

His slap was so powerful that it made Nangong Lingling spin around, and blood spurted from her mouth.

"Ahhh..." The kneeling women screamed in fright and scrambled to the side.

Those standing around were also shocked, never expecting that Nangong Wu would dare to have someone hit the princess, and they all stepped back.

"This is outrageous! It's practically a rebellion!" The Empress Dowager pointed at Bei Chenyan, her old face contorted with rage, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Bei Chenyan was startled and quickly hid behind Nangong Wu, trembling. "Your Highness, I think I've caused trouble. Please protect me!"

"It's alright, I'm here, no one can do anything to you." Nangong Wu shielded him behind her.

Two old women stepped forward and helped Nangong Lingling up. They saw that her mouth was full of blood and two of her teeth had been knocked out.

"You little wretch..." The Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Where are the Imperial Guards? Seize these two wretches for me, their lives or deaths are irrelevant!"

"Where have all the Imperial Guards gone? Go and call for help! Kill them all for me!" Nangong Lingling's voice was shrill, and because she was missing two teeth, her voice was slightly lisping.

One of her head maids looked around and, not seeing a single imperial guard, took out a short flute from her sleeve and began to play it.

But what came out was not a pleasant flute sound, but a sharp and piercing sound.

Nangong Wu's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she abruptly threw out a dagger, piercing the palace maid's throat, blood splattering on the spot.

Because the flute music played by this palace maid was the same as the music played by the assassin who broke into the palace that night.

This woman is very likely a member of the Serpent Spirit Society.

"Ahhh..."

The women around them screamed in terror.

It's unbelievable that Nangong Wu dared to kill someone in the palace. This was a flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager. How could these two dare to do that?

"Help! Murder!"

The palace maid's death was so horrific that the noble ladies screamed in terror and huddled together in fear.

"Empress Dowager, you want to kill me!" Nangong Wu stated this definitively, revealing a sinister smile to the Empress Dowager.

"But relying solely on the words of those women isn't enough reason to take my life. How about I add another reason?"

Seeing that the Imperial Guards were taking so long to arrive, Granny Rong felt uneasy and, steeling herself, stepped forward to reprimand them:

"Prince Zhenyuan, the Empress Dowager is His Majesty's own mother. How dare you disrespect her and even kill someone in the palace? Are you plotting a rebellion?"

"Rebellion? Then I will show disrespect to this old man, so what?" Nangong Wu slid a dagger down from her sleeve and suddenly plunged it into Rong Mama's heart.

"You old fool, you should have died long ago!"

This Rong Mama was the Empress Dowager's confidante and also her sharpest weapon. She was full of wicked schemes and was responsible for all the dirty work in Shouning Palace.

"You..." Rong Mama's eyes were filled with horror and disbelief. Just as she was about to speak, she vomited mouthfuls of blood and died with her eyes wide open.

Seeing that she had killed someone again, the noble ladies realized that something was wrong and scattered in all directions, screaming in alarm.

In no time, all the invited guests had left, leaving only the Empress Dowager and the people from Nangong Lingling's palace.

"You little bitch!" The Empress Dowager's face was filled with murderous intent. Suddenly, she picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it hard on the ground, causing tea and porcelain shards to fly everywhere.

Suddenly, several sharp, piercing sounds came crashing down, heading straight for Nangong Wu's face.

Almost simultaneously, Bei Chenyan also made his move, firing several throwing knives that struck the hidden arrows, sending sparks flying through the air.

"Is she in such a hurry?" Nangong Wu knew that the teacup the Empress Dowager smashed was a signal to take action.

The dozens of eunuchs and palace maids around them all sprang into action, drawing their soft swords and daggers and charging at the two men without a word.

"Kill these two people at all costs!" the Empress Dowager shouted as she retreated.

"Hmph." Bei Chenyan snorted coldly, opened the fan in his hand with a whoosh, and greeted the "palace maids and eunuchs".

His iron fan was full of hidden tricks; sharp blades emerged from the heads of the dozen or so iron fan ribs. He moved as fast as lightning, and wherever he went, blood splattered and heads and limbs flew everywhere.

When the Empress Dowager saw how capable he was, she realized that Xiao Lin was not just a male concubine. She then retreated under the protection of several palace maids.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had left without paying her any attention, Nangong Lingling had no choice but to hide under the table.

"Trying to leave?"

Nangong Wu raised her hand, and the pistol under her long sleeves pointed at the Empress Dowager.

Upon seeing this, the palace maids quickly stepped in front of the Empress Dowager, shouting, "Quickly, protect the Empress Dowager..."

"Click, click!" Nangong Wu pulled the trigger repeatedly, and one by one, the palace maids fell down between the eyebrows.

As the Empress Dowager watched the people fall one by one, she finally realized how powerful Nangong Wu was. Her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, her face ashen!

"Nangong Wu, I am the Empress Dowager. If anything happens to me today, the ministers in the court will not let you off the hook!" The Empress Dowager still wanted to use her status as Empress Dowager to threaten her.

"Go to hell with the Empress Dowager!" Nangong Wu kicked the Empress Dowager to the ground and stomped on her chest. "What? You can kill me, but I can't touch you? What kind of logic is that?"

"If the emperor commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die." The Empress Dowager then used Emperor Mingde to threaten her, "Nangong Wu, if you dare to treat me like this, the emperor will not let you off."

"You'd better obediently accept your death now. I might, out of respect for your grandfather, grant Huo Jing and your three bastard children a proper burial."

"Ha!" Nangong Wu laughed in exasperation. "Is giving you a complete corpse a great favor? How about I give you a complete corpse to show you?"

"How dare you? I am the Empress Dowager. If you dare to touch me, you will be sentenced to death..." the Empress Dowager shouted, her voice filled with bluster but her heart was filled with fear.

But seeing the murderous intent in Nangong Wu's eyes, and knowing that she really dared to kill her, she screamed in terror, "Imperial Preceptor, save me!"

"You old hag, no one can save you today!" Nangong Wu exerted a little force with her foot, and the Empress Dowager's chest was squeezed, causing her to vomit a mouthful of blood.

"puff!"

"Nangong Xun, Xuan Qingzi, it's come to this point, don't you want to show yourselves?" Nangong Wu looked around.
