None of Nangong Qi's five sons, whether legitimate or illegitimate, were of any worth; the eldest was twenty years old, and the youngest was ten.

The three older boys spent their days frequenting brothels and gambling dens, while the two younger boys were spoiled rotten, indulging in cockfighting and dog racing, and were among the most notorious playboys in the capital.

Nangong Qi was afraid that his sons would be ruined, so he sent his eldest son, Nangong Huai, to a military camp in the suburbs for training, while his other children studied at the Imperial Academy.

"Nangong Wu, you little bitch who gave birth to a bastard, get out here! You dare to hit my mother and sister, today I'll kill you..." The increasingly vulgar words came in.

Li Shuang's face darkened. "Princess, should I cripple one of their arms each?"

"No need, I'll go and meet them." Nangong Wu handed the child to Granny Feng.

She made a bet with Nangong Qi in front of Emperor Mingde, to compete with his sons for the throne. Since they are all here, let's have the competition today!

When Nangong Wu walked to the courtyard gate, she saw that Nangong Qi's five sons had all arrived, but were being blocked outside by Li An and the old steward.

The one who shouted the loudest was Nangong Huai, "Nangong Wu, you are a slut who has been divorced and had an affair with a wild man. You have disgraced our Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion. How dare you come back?"

Today I'm going to break your legs and throw your three bastard children out of the palace!

"Shut up, you're all asking for death!" Li An angrily drew his sword.

"Li An, you may step back!" Nangong Wu told her to leave.

"Princess, you've come out!" Li An bowed to her.

"Hmm." Nangong Wu slowly walked out of the courtyard gate, her cold gaze falling on Nangong Huai. He looked somewhat similar to Nangong Qi, and was tall, but he was just a good-for-nothing.

"You said you wanted to break my legs and throw me out of the palace?"

Hearing her cold tone, Nangong Huai was taken aback. He looked at her suspiciously, feeling that she was different from before!

It was her eyes. Nangong Wu's gaze was never so sharp before, like a dagger.

But considering that her parents were dead and that he only knew some fancy moves, he didn't take her seriously at all.

"Nangong Wu, how dare you hit my father and mother! You're dead today!" Nangong Huai pointed at her, his eyes filled with the same ruthlessness as Nangong Qi.

"If you go and kowtow to my father and mother to apologize and hand over the royal tokens, I, the heir apparent, can let you and those bastards stay in the royal palace and give you a meal, considering that we share the same grandfather."

"Alright!" Nangong Wu took out the royal token from her spatial storage and held it up in front of them.

"If any of you can snatch this token from my hands, I will leave the palace immediately and leave everything to you."

"It's a token from the Prince's residence!"

When Nangong Qi's sons saw the token, their eyes immediately gleamed with greed.

Once they obtain this token, everything in this royal palace will be theirs.

"Nangong Wu, hand over the token." Nangong Huai didn't take Nangong Wu seriously at all and rushed over to snatch the token.

Nangong Wu stood there without moving, but just as Nangong Huai's hand was about to snatch the token, she moved.

"Bang!" Nangong Huai was thrown over the shoulder by Nangong Wu and slammed hard to the ground.

"Ah..." Nangong Qi's sons exclaimed.

"Big brother, how could you be so careless!"

Nangong Qi's second son, Nangong Guang, and third son, Nangong Hui, helped Nangong Huai up.

Nangong Huai shoved the two of them away violently, his face full of anger. "Nangong Wu, you bitch, how dare you play me for a fool?"

"Can't even beat a woman, he's utterly useless," Nangong Wu mocked.

"You wretch, I was going to spare your life and your child's life for my grandfather's sake, but now it seems you are doomed." Enraged by the mockery in Nangong Wu's eyes, Nangong Huai drew his broadsword from his waist and slashed at her.

"Big brother, kill this bitch, and the palace will be ours!" Nangong Guang shouted excitedly.

Once this woman dies, no one will be able to compete with them for the Prince's mansion.

"Princess!" Li An exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to stop her.

The princess had only given birth ten days prior, and her weak body made her no match for Nangong Huai.

However, Nangong Wu was faster than her. With a "whoosh," she drew her sword, slightly turned her body, and brushed past Nangong Huai. A sharp, cold light flashed, and Nangong Huai, who was running forward, suddenly fell to the ground.

"what!"

There were screams from Nangong Huai and cries of alarm from those around him.

She chopped off both of Nangong Huai's legs, blood spurting out, and he let out a pig-like scream.

"Big brother..."

The four brothers, including Nangong Guang and Nangong Hui, were greatly surprised.

"Nangong Wu, you...you actually cut off Big Brother's...leg?" Nangong Guang was so shocked that he stammered!

"Li An, who was cursing this princess just now?" Nangong Wu, carrying a blood-dripping sword, walked step by step toward the four people.

"All five of them cursed!" Li An pointed at the group.

I just think the princess is incredibly dashing now.

Nangong Qi's two youngest sons, seeing the terrifying murderous intent in Nangong Wu's eyes, turned around and ran away in fright.

"Father, please save us..."

"What...what do you want to do?" Nangong Hui was also shocked and took a step back.

Nangong Guang pointed at her, his voice sharp but his tone weak, and shouted, "Nangong Wu, you actually cut off my elder brother's legs and harmed his own brother! His Majesty will surely punish you!"

"Didn't you just say you were going to break my legs and throw me out of the palace? Now that you're the ones with broken legs, you can't stand it anymore?" Nangong Wu's gaze was icy.

These people have always wanted to get rid of the original owner so they could seize the royal palace, and today she will make them give up that idea.

When Nangong Guang and Nangong Hui realized she was serious, they turned and ran.

She even killed Nangong Huai, so they were no match for her.

"Trying to run?" Nangong Wu flicked her hand, and two iron balls shot out, hitting the two men's calves, sending them sprawling.

"Nangong Wu, stop!" Nangong Qi shouted.

But it was too late. Nangong Wu swung her sword twice, severing one leg from each of Nangong Guang and Nangong Hui, who cried out in pain.

"Nangong Wu, you vicious woman!"

Nangong Qi arrived with several of his guards and was furious to see that his three sons' legs had been cut off!

"You wretch! They're all your cousins! How dare you hurt them?"

"Cousins? How utterly laughable!" Nangong Wu scoffed.

"Your sons just threatened to kill me and throw me out of the manor. Did they ever consider me their cousin?"

"Father, kill this vile woman quickly and avenge us..." Nangong Huai cried out in pain.

Nangong Qi was so angry his chest felt like it was going to explode, but he was also terrified of Nangong Wu and didn't dare to lay a hand on her.

"I want to go to the palace to see the Emperor and let him deal with you!" He thought that only the Emperor could deal with this vile woman.

"Punish me? Nangong Qi, have you forgotten what you said to your uncle a few days ago?" Nangong Wu asked coldly.
