That night.

Xia’s Capital City Gate.

Heavy snow fell, and the cold evening wind cut like a knife, causing a stinging pain on the face.

The army entering the city left a mottled trail in the snow.

The general on the city wall, with a smile on his face, watched as the Changning Imperial Army returned victorious.

Yu Qinghan, her black hair scattered over her shoulders, walked at the forefront.

The common people in the capital city streets were delighted to see this scene and discussed it excitedly.

“Senior General has won!”

“Yes, she has driven away all those alien tribesmen!”

“Great, we don’t have to move now. I’ve seen a lot of people heading south these past few days.”

“Now there’s no need to worry. With Senior General here, this is the safest

place.

Listening to the conversations on the streets, Yu Qinghan’s body, tired from the past several days, couldn’t help but relax a little.

She focused her gaze on the common people on both sides of the road, her conviction in her heart grew even stronger.

As long as she lived, war and chaos must not befall the common people.

She must end this mess in the world, just like she did three years ago.

With these thoughts, they soon arrived at the Imperial Palace.

Except for the guards who followed Yu Qinghan, the rest of the Changning Imperial Army returned to the barracks in the capital city for rest and repairs.

Yu Qinghan returned to the Imperial Palace.

But inside the palace, there was a deathly silence, and the once brightly lit palace corridors were now incredibly dark.

Yu Qinghan’s intuition told her that something was wrong, and with a frown, she seemed to think of something.

“Follow me!”

She gave an order, striding towards the inner palace.

The guards around her quickened their pace and followed closely.

On the way, Yu Qinghan’s heart was filled with anxiety.

Now, the impregnable momentum of the Northern Wolf’s army had been broken by her. Even if the Ten States of the North were still in their hands, the capital city was temporarily free of crisis.

In other words, her prestige had been established, and no one could stop her from ascending the throne.

No minister or clan elder could resist the general trend.

So for the Queen Dowager and the young Lord, she intended to spare their lives.

At this critical juncture, the last thing she wanted to see was more sacrifices.

Yu Qinghan cto the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

The lantern at the entrance of the palace was still lit, but its blood-red color against the tall, red walls was inexplicably disturbing.

Yu Qinghan looked carefully.

At the entrance, the palace guard lay in a pool of blood, strewn haphazardly all around. There was no doubt that a tragedy had occurred.

“Bang!”

She kicked open the door, and the figures of black-clothed men appeared in her Divine Insight.

Seeing the door being opened, the black-clothed men all looked towards the entrance to see who had intruded.

As soon as Yu Qinghan entered, she saw an elegantly dressed woman lying in a pool of blood.

A five-year-old child was motionless, his breath already gone, held tightly in the hands of a black-clothed man like a little chick.

Her pupils contracted, and a nameless fury surged in Yu Qinghan’s heart.

Her magic power gathered quickly, and she struck a palm through the air.

The sound was intense, and the attack was fierce.

The terrifying force sent several black-clothed men flying and crashing into the palace walls, lifeless.

Yu Qinghan’s figure moved, instantly catching the child’s body.

At the stime, holding the slightest hope, she checked the woman’s breath on the ground.

Unfortunately, the person on the ground had long been turned into a cold corpse.

“Qinghan, what are you doing?

A magnetic middle-aged man’s voice cfrom inside the hall.

Changning King Pei Ming walked out of the Main Hall, his face full of

displeasure at this point.

Yu Qinghan’s expression was icy cold, and she asked:

“Why did you kill the Queen Dowager and the young Lord?”

“Why? They are obstacles in your future path. As long as the New Emperor’s loyalists are still alive, there will be ill-intentions. If you don’t eliminate them now, when will you?”

Pei Ming said indifferently.

“But I’ve already promised them a way out. Are you going against my orders?” Yu Qinghan’s tone was calm, but it was filled with a terrifying momentum.

The calmer she was, the more it meant that her inner anger had reached its peak.

“Qinghan, I hope you remember who supported you and brought you to where you are today. Are you going to turn againstfor the enemy?”

Pei Ming said coldly.

From his perspective, he was just doing a simple task.

Leaving the Queen Dowager and the young Lord alive could lead to disaster in the future.

It’s better to kill them now to prevent them from being used as pawns by others with ulterior motives.

But in Yu Qinghan’s eyes, this was undoubtedly crossing her bottom line.

Pei Ming ignored her orders and acted on his own. This in itself revealed sissues.

What if similar situations happened again in the future? How should she handle them?

Would she just let them slide?

If she didn’t resolve this ticking tbomb, her authority in the Imperial Court in the future would surely be held back.

But no matter what, Pei Ming was still her uncle.

Moreover, with the relationship between Pei Xiangyun in the mix, she couldn’t act against him.

Thinking of this, Yu Qinghan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing her like this, Pei Ming felt a sense of ominous foreboding in his heart.

He had an indistinct feeling that Yu Qinghan was about to slip out of his control.

Changning Imperial Army went north to defend the capital, which was what he wanted to see. So he had not interfered too much.

However, when he saw her granting mercy to the Queen Dowager and her son, he felt that it was inappropriate.

Carefully considering the situation, she had already established her power.

Both prestige and public sentiment were on her side, including military power. If he wanted to do something, he really didn’t have much chance of winning..
