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

"Alright, alright, for your happiness, I'll send more people to search for Nangong Xiao." Qi Ziyang said helplessly.

Bei Chenyan put all the secret letters into his pocket, stood up, and was about to leave.

"Hey! Are you just leaving like this?" Qi Ziyang called out to him.

Bei Chenyan stopped in his tracks. "Is there anything else?"

"Fine, you don't have to go back, but you should at least send a reply to His Majesty!" Qi Ziyang felt a headache coming on.

"If you ask me, you could tell His Majesty about the three children. If His Majesty knew you already had children, perhaps he wouldn't pressure you to marry the Crown Princess."

"No, the matter of the three children must not be leaked at all!" Bei Chenyan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

If those women found out he already had a child, they would definitely do things that would harm the child.

He knew how ruthless those women were.

Qi Ziyang saw the murderous intent in his eyes and remained silent.

What good is the Crown Prince's noble status if he has no control over many things?

"And Changyang Temple, Nangong Wu and I killed quite a few of their people on this trip. Our Wujian Pavilion and Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion have completely broken ties with them. We need to send more people to keep an eye on them and be careful of retaliation from the people of Changyang Temple." Bei Chenyan stood up and left.

As she opened the door, she added, "If Father writes again, you can reply for me."

"Then what do you expect me to reply to?" Qi Ziyang was utterly speechless. "You go off to enjoy your own pleasures, and you even need me to reply to His Majesty's letters? Do you realize you're ruining your future?"

"If you really don't know what to write, just write that I'm missing and can't be found." Bei Chenyan said and turned to leave.

Drunken Plum Courtyard.

Ever since Granny Feng learned that Nangong Wu had returned to the Prince's Mansion, she sent Fang Cheng out to find a wet nurse.

An hour later, Fang Cheng returned with three wet nurses.

Seeing that someone was helping to take care of the three children, Nangong Wu let Eileen and Aiqi go into the space to recharge.

If you charge them for three hours, they can last for twenty hours.

At 9:00 AM the next day, Nangong Wu brought Li Shuang into the palace to meet the emperor.

By this time, the morning court session had long passed.

Li Zhan's carriage stopped at the palace gate, and he said to Nangong Wu through the curtain, "Princess, we have arrived at the palace."

Li Shuang got out of the car first and opened the curtain.

Nangong Wu bent down and stepped out of the carriage, glancing at the majestic palace gate.

"Princess Runing has arrived!" A joyful voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards stationed at the palace gates all looked over.

Upon seeing that it really was her, they all came forward to pay their respects, saying, "Greetings, Princess Runing!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, we've all heard about how you single-handedly bombed the Eastern Jin imperial palace and the Wu Prince's residence!" The deputy commander exclaimed excitedly.

"According to the information we have received, the Eastern Jin Emperor, the Eastern Jin Crown Prince, and the King of Wu and his son were all killed in the bombing, and the imperial palace and the King of Wu's residence were destroyed. This is truly satisfying; it has finally avenged those who died unjustly in the war."

The Eastern Jin Dynasty has been waging war against our Western Yan for a century, and we have been on the defensive in every major battle. Now, we have finally gotten our revenge, and the entire Western Yan Kingdom admires you.

"Yes, yes! Your Highness, we all admire you!"

"The despicable Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is finally dead! Buried along with his palace, how gratifying!"

"Your Highness, you have killed the Emperor of Eastern Jin and the warlike King of Wu. With you here, Eastern Jin will never dare to attack us again..."

Nangong Wu listened to their words, smiled but said nothing, and led Li Shuang into the palace.

The Imperial Guards watched her retreating figure, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Princess, His Majesty is in the Imperial Study!" the deputy commander called out to her retreating figure.

"Okay, I understand!" Nangong Wu waved her hand behind her.

As the two entered the palace, all the palace servants who saw them stopped and stared at them.

She was delighted to encounter the Imperial Guards on the road, who all came to greet her.

"Princess, the news that you killed the Emperor of Eastern Jin and the King of Wu a few days ago has reached the capital. The people of the capital are overjoyed as if it were New Year's Day, and they are setting off firecrackers to celebrate."

Many people also ran to the gate of the palace to kowtow and express their gratitude, saying that you saved the Western Yan Kingdom and countless families.” Li Shuang laughed as she said this.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu's heart sank.

Li Shuang continued, "Now people from all over the country are spontaneously donating money to build a shrine for you to live forever."

Seeing that Nangong Wu didn't speak, Li Shuang noticed that her complexion wasn't good and the smile on her face had disappeared.

The phrase "his merits overshadowed those of his master" came to mind.

"Princess, as long as His Majesty is still alive, he will not suspect you," Li Shuang advised her.

Nangong Wu thought of the newly appointed crown prince and what her father had said to them, and her gaze darkened.

She led Li Shuang to the Imperial Study.

Eunuch Hu was waiting outside the Imperial Study. When he saw her, he hurriedly came to greet her, his wrinkled face beaming like a chrysanthemum.

"Princess Runing, you've arrived!"

"Eunuch Hu," Nangong Wu called out to him, glancing at the door of the imperial study, "Is my imperial uncle here? I'd like to see him."

"Yes, yes! His Majesty has long wanted to see you." Eunuch Hu scurried off to open the door and went in to report.

"Your Majesty, Princess Runing has arrived!"

"Really!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde immediately stood up from his dragon throne, his face full of surprise. "Quickly, announce it!"

Nangong Wu had already entered and glanced into the imperial study, where she saw Emperor Mingde, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, standing behind his desk.

A young boy stood beside him, wearing an apricot-yellow robe with five claws.

Only the crown prince can wear an apricot-yellow robe with five claws and a python pattern, so it seems that this young man is the crown prince, Nangong Chengkun, who was just appointed by the emperor.

"Ru Ning greets Imperial Uncle!" Nangong Wu greeted Emperor Mingde first.

"No need for formalities!" Emperor Mingde stepped out from behind his desk, personally helped her up, looked her up and down, and nodded approvingly.

"It's good that you're back. You girl, you actually went to the Eastern Jin Kingdom all by yourself to kill the Eastern Jin Emperor and the King of Wu. That was too risky!"

"When I received this news, do you know how worried I was about you? Don't take such risks again! The hatred of a nation shouldn't be borne by you alone."

"Uncle, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not telling you beforehand." Nangong Wu apologized to him. "As you know, my mother was murdered by the Prince of Wu. I only wanted to kill him to avenge my mother."

But later my men received news that the Eastern Jin emperor, at the instigation of the King of Wu, had secretly sent people to the Southern Qi Kingdom and the Northern Di Kingdom to persuade them to form an alliance to attack our Western Yan Kingdom.

If these three countries were to attack us simultaneously from the east, south, and north, our army would be in a very passive position. If we were to be trampled by their iron hooves, not only would millions of soldiers bleed and sacrifice their lives, but the poor people would also suffer.

Therefore! Only by killing these ringleaders can I thwart their plot to divide up our Western Yan territory.
