The Prince of Huainan's palace was bustling with people, as a major renovation of the palace was underway.

Since Miss Su left Qinghe County, the Prince of Huainan has been living a very comfortable life, and most of the cities that Miss Su had previously taken back have returned to his hands.

So when the King of Huainan was pleased, he began to build a large palace.

He plans to declare himself emperor in Huainan. After all, he has dozens of cities under his control, which can be considered a small country.

In a way, I have to thank Prime Minister Feng for taking away Miss Su's military power, otherwise he wouldn't be living such a good life today!

As long as that living devil, Miss Su, doesn't come to Huainan, he can stay in Huainan forever.

Outside, the craftsmen were busy at work, but inside the main hall, music filled the air.

The King of Huainan was enjoying a song and dance performance in the palace. The drinking session lasted from noon until the afternoon, and he drank to his heart's content.

The strategist Meng Chang strode in and reported, "Your Highness, there is the latest news from the capital."

The Prince of Huainan, with a wine cup in one hand and his arm around the waist of a dancer, his face flushed with drunkenness, urged, "Quickly tell me the contents of the letter."

"Your Highness, the Blood Fiend Alliance's capital branch was wiped out by Prince Gong and his men, supposedly to avenge Miss Su."

The King of Huainan was surprised, because he was also one of the shareholders of the Blood Fiend Alliance.

They invested a full 300,000 taels of silver in the Blood Fiend Alliance.

Never in their wildest dreams had the Blood Fiend Alliance, which had never encountered a rival in centuries, had its branch destroyed.

He has only recovered less than a third of his 300,000 taels investment. He is really afraid that the Blood Fiend Alliance will go bankrupt. Unfortunately, the Blood Fiend Alliance's rule is that you cannot withdraw your investment.

That Blood Fiend Alliance is really something, of all people to mess with, they had to provoke that living devil, Miss Su.

No one who provokes that living Yama has a good ending.

Now that Miss Su is no longer in Qinghe County, things are going much better for him.

"Your Highness, there is more news that will surely make you very happy: the Seventh Prince has been killed."

The King of Huainan was so startled that his hand trembled, and the wine in his cup spilled all over the ground.

He waved his hand, dismissing the dancers.

The death of the seventh prince of Nan Yue was indeed a major event and quite unexpected.

That young emperor is so kind to foreigners, how could he allow someone to kill the seventh prince within the territory of Daqi?

"Your Highness, who do you think committed the murder?"

The King of Huainan thought for a moment, and among the people he knew, none were more audacious and reckless than Miss Su.

"Is this Miss Su?"

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you are right. Miss Su is ruthless and slits the Seventh Prince's throat with a single stroke. Her fiancé, Prince Gong, even had the Seventh Prince's head cut off and hung on the south gate of the capital."

It's truly unexpected that the young girl actually killed the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue. She's incredibly bold. Meng Chang thinks this is a great thing for the King of Huainan.

But he observed that the King of Huainan did not seem happy.

The King of Huainan was indeed unhappy, and he even got goosebumps all over.

He recalled that when the Seventh Prince traveled from Nan Yue to the capital of Da Qi, he passed through Huainan and the two of them had drunk together.

The seventh prince was drunk at the time and actually said that he would share life and death with him and go through thick and thin together!

The King of Huainan felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the words "sharing life and death".

Bah! Only a fool would share life and death with that prematurely deceased wretch! This prince hasn't lived enough yet.

The Prince of Huainan remembered that the Seventh Prince said he was going to the capital of Daqi to avenge his fiancée and that he wanted to kill Miss Su.

But in the end, he was the one who was killed by Miss Su.

I remember when his strategist Wang Changxu went to Qinghe County to persuade Miss Su to defect, he was instead persuaded by Miss Su, causing him to lose an excellent strategist.

Even a figure as formidable as the Empress of Western Xia was said to be completely obedient to Miss Su after arriving in the capital of Great Qi.

The King of Huainan prayed in his heart that the emperor would never send that little girl to the vicinity of Huainan again.

Meng Chang felt that the death of the seventh prince of Nanyue was a good opportunity for the King of Huainan.

"Your Highness, it is a good thing for us that Miss Su killed the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue. The Seventh Prince was the most beloved son of the old emperor of Nan Yue. The old emperor of Nan Yue will definitely launch a crazy revenge against Da Qi when he learns of the Seventh Prince's death."

"Then we'll extend an olive branch to Nan Yue, and they'll definitely agree to join forces with us against Da Qi."

The King of Huainan nodded, "Alright, then you can go to Nanyue as an envoy."

Inside the palace of the Southern Yue Kingdom.

The old emperor, whose hair was half-white, was gently comforting Consort Lan.

Consort Lan is the birth mother of the Seventh Prince. She is skilled at cultivating orchids. Although she is nearly forty years old, her appearance is as delicate as that of a young girl.

She was dressed in light pink, a color favored by young people, and her crying was delicate and weak. She nestled in the old emperor's arms like a kitten.

She was crying so bitterly because she had a nightmare last night in which her son was bleeding from all seven orifices, a particularly tragic dream.

It is said that a mother and child are connected at heart, so Consort Lan felt that this dream was very ominous. Moreover, her eyelids kept twitching after she woke up, which was not a good sign. She felt that something must have happened to her son.

Consort Lan was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night and has been crying ever since. She couldn't eat and has been crying until now, even though it's already afternoon.

Her eyes were swollen from crying, like peaches.

The old emperor was heartbroken. "My beloved concubine, please stop crying. Tell me what you want, and I will grant it to you."

"Your Majesty, Yuan'er said that once he arrived in Daqi and received the silver notes from the Emperor of Daqi, he would immediately have them sent back to Nanyue. But so much time has passed and they still haven't arrived. Something must have happened. Yuan'er must have encountered danger. Please, Your Majesty, send someone to Daqi as soon as possible to bring Yuan'er back."

Consort Lan deeply regretted her decision, feeling that she should have forced her son to take the Sa Man National Preceptor to Da Qi. Only with a powerful national preceptor protecting Yuan'er could she feel at ease.

"Alright, whatever you say. I'll send someone to Daqi right now to bring Yuan'er back."

The old emperor immediately issued an edict and dispatched people to set off.

However, the old emperor felt it was normal that his son hadn't sent back any silver notes. Yuan'er had been spoiled since childhood and spent money extravagantly. It was already quite good that the money he got from the Emperor of Qi was enough for his own expenses.

Moreover, he had sent the resourceful Third Prince to advise Yuan'er, so there's no doubt that nothing will happen.

The old emperor gently patted Consort Lan's delicate hand and comforted her, saying, "The people have already been sent out. My dear consort, don't be sad. Yuan'er will be alright. The Emperor of Daqi is not only weak and incompetent, but he also confides in foreign powers and has no backbone at all. He would never dare to touch Yuan'er, and he will definitely treat our Yuan'er like a god."

"But--"

"No buts, my beloved consort, rest assured, no one dares to touch Yuan'er. Our Southern Yue National Preceptor is not someone to be trifled with; everyone must be afraid of him."

If anyone dared to harm his most beloved seventh son, he would slaughter that person's entire family, and would also skin that person alive, tearing out their tendons and making them suffer the torture of being slowly sliced ​​to death and bleed to death.
