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

"Of course, we should kill them!" Emperor Mingde's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The offspring Gu and the mother Gu are closely related. If the offspring Gu dies, the person carrying the mother Gu will naturally suffer a backlash.

"Okay." Nangong Wu took out a packet of poison powder and put it into a small bottle.

Her poison powder is highly corrosive; as soon as it was poured into the bottle, the Gu worms immediately jumped up in response.

In a short while, the Gu worm stopped moving and quickly vanished.

"Pfft~~" Ji Shi, who was unconscious, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

She slowly raised her head and saw the bottle in Nangong Wu's hand. Her blood rushed to her head, and she vomited several mouthfuls of blood. Her body went limp and she fainted again.

"Guards!" Emperor Mingde issued another decree, "Give the Ji family a white silk ribbon, and hang their corpse on the south gate to dry in the sun for five days, as a warning to others!"

"As you command!"

Two imperial guards rushed forward and dragged Ji Shi away.

After a while, Eunuch Hu returned carrying a tray with a wine pot and a small wine cup on it.

When the Empress Dowager saw the wine pot, her eyes widened in terror, and she struggled desperately, making muffled noises.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's fear of death, Nangong Wu sneered inwardly.

This empress dowager has been immersed in the inner palace for decades, and she must have done many things like giving people poisoned wine. Now it's her turn to taste the poison.

Eunuch Hu carried the tray to the Empress Dowager, his eyes expressionless.

"Your Majesty, we have come to invite you to depart."

The Imperial Guards removed the handkerchief from the Empress Dowager's mouth.

As soon as the Empress Dowager could speak, she started scolding again, but this time the person she was scolding was Nangong Wu.

"Nangong Wu, the Empress Dowager is your great-grandmother. She is also a member of the Ming family. Without the Ming family, you wouldn't be who you are today!"

"You ungrateful little slut, you also have the blood of the Ming family flowing in your veins, you..."

Seeing that her insults were getting increasingly offensive, the Imperial Guards dislocated her jaw.

"Ha!" Nangong Wu sneered and walked up to her. "Your uncle is your own son, and you were so heartless as to kill him. Now you come to talk to me about kinship that is almost beyond the fifth degree of kinship. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

If the Ming family valued kinship, you wouldn't have used the curse on my uncle, and you and the Ming family wouldn't have killed my parents.

She picked up the wine jug from the tray and shook it gently.

"Ming family, in your quest to control the court and eliminate dissidents, you had He Zhiyu placed by the Ming family next to my mother, ultimately leading to the tragic deaths of my mother and 50,000 soldiers. You and the Ming family have the blood of innocent people on your hands; you deserve to die!"

Looking at the wine pot in her hand, the Empress Dowager felt that she was really going to die this time, and she was very unwilling.

She glared at Nangong Wu with resentment, then looked at Emperor Mingde, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at her with indifferent eyes.

Even now, she feels no regret whatsoever, only regretting that she didn't kill Emperor Mingde sooner, and that she didn't wipe out Nangong Lan and his family of three sooner.

Nangong Wu grabbed the Empress Dowager's chin, forcing her to open her mouth. "Old woman, you harmed my mother. Today I will personally send you to hell to pay for my mother's life."

She held the spout of the pot to the Empress Dowager's mouth and poured the poisoned wine down her throat.

He poured half a pot of poisoned wine down her throat, not a single drop was left, before he let go of her.

"Cough cough cough..." The Empress Dowager tried to vomit up the poisoned wine, but how could she possibly vomit it up?

Soon, a burning pain shot through her stomach, as if her internal organs were on fire. She screamed in agony, "Ahhh..."

Two imperial guards abandoned her.

As Nangong Wu watched her struggle in her death throes, her eyes filled with despair and fear, all the pent-up anger in her stomach dissipated in that instant.

She turned around and looked at Emperor Mingde's blood-stained dragon robe. "Uncle, you are injured. Go back and rest first! As for the affairs of the court, leave them to the Prime Minister and Prince Li for the time being."

"As for this person!" Nangong Wu pointed to the leader, "I still have some use for him."

"Then you can deal with him as you see fit." Emperor Mingde glanced at the black-robed man prostrate on the ground and stood up.

"I am now fine. All these rebels have been executed. You should go back now! Your father was also seriously injured. Go back and see him first."

"Alright, then I'll leave the palace first." Nangong Wu was indeed a little worried about her father.

Emperor Mingde descended the steps and said to the ministers, "Prince Li, my dear ministers, please come with me to the Imperial Study!"

"As you command."

Nangong Yi and several ministers bowed.

Prime Minister Li looked at the Empress Dowager lying on the ground, barely alive, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should be done with the body of the convicted woman, Lady Ming?"

"Throw him into the mass grave." Emperor Mingde didn't even glance at the Empress Dowager again, and strode out.

This woman almost killed him and nearly destroyed the entire Western Yan Kingdom. He will never feel any maternal affection for her again.

"You can't do this... Burying me in the imperial mausoleum..." The Empress Dowager struggled to lift her head, and just as she was about to speak, she vomited mouthfuls of black blood, mixed with pieces of internal organs.

Emperor Mingde stopped in his tracks, his tone sarcastic, "Do you think that's possible? You are a sinner, what face do you have to enter the imperial mausoleum and be buried with my father?"

"I am the late emperor's empress, your birth mother..." The empress dowager knew she was about to die, so she wanted to maintain some dignity even in death.

"Absolutely impossible!" Emperor Mingde walked past her and did not look back until he left the Zichen Hall.

As the Empress Dowager watched his retreating figure, her vision grew increasingly blurry, and she closed her eyes forever, unwilling to accept her fate.

"Father, wait for your son." Nangong Yi chased after him.

"As His Majesty instructed, carry the person away." Prime Minister Li waved to the two Imperial Guards and then left the Zichen Hall.

Looking at the Empress Dowager, who had already died, Nangong Wu felt much better.

That wicked woman is finally dead, and all this awful stuff is finally over.

The leader ran up to her and knelt down. "Queen, you are the most powerful woman I have ever met. I am willing to submit to you. Please accept me! I am willing to be your slave and do anything for you."

"Fine, you'd better have something that makes me not want to kill you," Nangong Wu said to him, then turned and walked away.

This person has been wandering the martial arts world for many years and has his own organization. He might be of some use to them, so we'll spare him for now.

Bei Chenyan had already come out of the main hall, holding two guns in his arms and waiting at the entrance.

He glanced at the leader following behind Nangong Wu and clicked his tongue, "He's got a lucky life."

Nangong Wu glanced at him. "Let's leave the palace."

The three of them left the palace and saw Li Zhan waiting there with a carriage.

"Your Highness, please." Li Zhan pulled up the carriage curtain for them.

Seeing that there was only one carriage, the leader dared not get on. "I'll just follow the carriage," he said.

Nangong Wu turned and glanced at him. "Come on, I'll treat your injuries."

This man has a bullet in his body; it needs to be removed so that he and the people behind him can work for him.
