After Yun Qianyue's words fell, the great hall instantly fell silent. She was undoubtedly the first person to curse the emperor in front of him as senile and incompetent. Everyone held their breaths; some looked at the old emperor, while others glanced at Yun Qianyue.

"Yun Qianyue, you have a great deal of audacity!" The old emperor's earlier feigned anger was now genuine. He suddenly drew his sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Yun Qianyue.

When everyone saw the emperor personally drawing his sword, they were all terrified. Over the years since he ascended to the throne, no one had ever seen him draw a sword against anyone.

"Your Majesty!" The empress was also frightened and hurriedly tried to pull back the old emperor.

"Get out of my way!" The old emperor flung his arm, forcefully pushing away the empress with great strength.

The empress couldn't withstand the force from the old emperor and fell backward. Fortunately, she was caught by Lady Sun in time.

"Your Majesty!" Prince Yun also panicked, immediately falling to her knees, "Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Yun Muhuan stood up abruptly, also shouting, "Your Majesty!"

The old emperor ignored them and approached Yun Qianyue in a moment.

Night Qingran's body leaned slightly as he glanced at Rong Jing once before sitting back down. Night Tianyi seemed to not notice the sword pointed at Yun Qianyue, remaining seated with composure. Night Tianyu blinked his eyes but did not move from his seat. Nanyingrui still raised his cup and sipped wine, his interest in watching the show evident. The eyes under the iron mask of the Southern Liang Imperial Tutor twitched slightly as well, yet he remained motionless. Representatives and feudal lords from other countries had never seen such a scene; they all believed that Yun Qianyue would be killed or seriously injured.

The sword drew near, aiming straight at Yun Qianyue's chest.

Rong Jing lifted his eyelids slightly but made no move and said nothing. His glance was faint.

Yun Qianyue's expression remained unchanged as she reached out with two fingers to catch the old emperor’s sword, smiling lightly without reaching her eyes. Her voice sounded somewhat playful: "Uncle Emperor, is your sword a royal sword"

The old emperor was full of fury and sharp-eyed. "Yun Qianyue, if I don't kill you today, do you really think that I can’t control you!"

"Uncle Emperor, you truly are old," Yun Qianyue pretended to sigh. "I don’t want to destroy your sword; it’s better if you put it away! Otherwise, tarnishing your lifelong reputation because of me won't be a wise decision." After pausing for a moment, she reminded him: "Don’t forget that today is your birthday banquet and all the representatives from various countries and feudal lords are watching!"

The old emperor was furious but unmoved. He roared, “Remove your hand!”

"I'm not that stupid, if I let go, won't you kill me Do I just wait for death" Yun Qianyue smirked and said lazily: "Uncle Emperor, at your age, can’t you hear the truth even when it’s unpleasant to hear I think you should abdicate now!"

"Having such a rebellious daughter is a curse on Heaven Saint! Today, no matter what, I must punish you!" The old emperor was more enraged upon hearing this. In recent years, he most hated two things: being called an incompetent ruler and being told that he's too old. Now Yun Qianyue had not only said both of these things but also suggested his early abdication as an Emperor Emeritus; how could he not be furious He exerted more force with his hand, yet the sword was just a centimeter from her chest, firmly held by her fingers, unable to advance even a millimeter. Fueled with rage, he shouted: "Come here! Surround Yun Manor and kill everyone inside without exception!"

Everyone gasped at these words; the hall fell silent as no one responded.

"Night Qingran, you go!" The old emperor ordered Night Qingran.

Night Qingran's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He glanced at Yun Qianyue and suddenly knelt down. "Uncle Emperor, calm yourself! That song was indeed beautiful but not lewd. Although I dislike Yun Qianyue now, she doesn’t deserve such harsh punishment."

"Night Qingran, do you dare to defy my orders" The old emperor's voice deepened.

Night Qingran remained silent on his knees.

"Night Tianyi, go!" The old emperor turned and addressed Night Tianyi.

No sooner had he spoken than Night Tianyi slowly knelt down. With a clear voice, he said: "Father Emperor, calm yourself! I believe what Prince Qingran says is reasonable.

"Very well! Do you dare to defy the imperial edict" The old emperor was furious.

Ye Tianyi remained silent and kneeling on the ground.

"Ye Tianyu, go!" The old emperor turned towards Ye Tianyu. Seeing his pale face, he angrily said, "If you do not go now, I will kill this ungrateful descendant of mine right here and now!"

Ye Tianyu knelt down with a thud, saying, "Father..."

"Guards! Drag the fourth prince out to be executed!" The old emperor's hand holding his sword trembled.

This time, soldiers immediately rushed in and grabbed Ye Tianyu. He was already ashen-faced; he knew clearly that although his father was furious, he had not lost his mind yet. Yun Qingran belonged to the Deying王府 (Prince's Manor), and Ye Tianyi was the successor he acknowledged. The old emperor would not force them strongly but used them as leverage against him. A sudden surge of anger rose in his heart; although born into the royal family, he had always respected his father, yet this respect felt like a knife slicing through his heart. It sparked a rebellious thought in him. He suddenly closed his eyes and let the soldiers drag him away without resistance.

The old emperor clearly didn't expect Ye Tianyu to disobey today either; this only strengthened his resolve to kill Yun Qianrou.

Suddenly, Yun Qianrou's wrist trembled, causing her Red Beauty Silk Ribbon to fly out instantly and knock the two soldiers restraining Ye Tianyu away. She didn’t look at Ye Tianyu as he opened his eyes in shock. She retrieved the ribbon and suddenly channeled her energy towards the sword held by one of the soldiers.

The sword began to turn into ashes from its tip, inch by inch.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the imperial sword in the old emperor's hand; many were too shocked to move.

"Yun Qianrou, you dare!" The old emperor couldn’t believe Yun Qianrou would actually destroy an imperial sword. Deep down, he always felt that if it weren't for him restraining himself, he could have killed her. He never imagined she’d dare resist so boldly. But everything he didn’t expect was happening to Yun Qianrou today one by one. His body shook violently, whether from anger or something else.

Yun Qianrou looked calmly at the old emperor; others might see challenging an emperor’s authority as suicidal, but in her eyes, it was just an old man who only shouted threats at her. She clearly knew that although this old emperor hadn’t had the heart to kill her before, today with the hidden weapons from Jade Maiden Pond and the poison needles here in the Golden Hall, he truly wanted to kill her. If she didn't resist now, she’d be a fool.

The sword turned into ashes inch by inch until only its hilt remained.

Everyone was utterly shocked at that moment except for a few who knew Yun Qianrou’s abilities; they couldn’t believe the rumors about her being talentless and useless were completely wrong, as she revealed herself to be an expert in music and martial arts with formidable energy and skills.

The old emperor could no longer bear the impact of real qi reaching the sword hilt and suddenly let go. The hilt clattered onto the golden floor tiles.

"Uncle Emperor, you can't joke like this! Are you unsatisfied with my music and want to test my martial skills yourself Well, now that you've tested me, do you think I’m worthy of the Broken Snow Sword It's one of the three famous swords and won first place in the Martial Arts Champion Competition. But today, both Yun Qingran and Rong Feng are tied with each other. Why don’t you give me this sword" Yun Qianrou looked at the old emperor's sullen face and smiled mischievously, "Look, my skills aren't bad, right I'm just lacking a good sword!"

Everyone was taken aback; they knew the old emperor meant business today but didn’t expect Yun Qianrou to turn everything around with humor and even ask for the Broken Snow Sword.

The hall fell silent enough for a needle dropping to be heard.

"Hahaha..." The old emperor suddenly burst into laughter, his forehead veins calming down as he laughed. His hearty laugh shook everyone’s hearts. After laughing for about ten counts, he abruptly stopped and called Wenlai, "Wenlai, bring the Broken Snow Sword over to give to Lady Moon!"

"Yes!" Wenlai was clearly shocked but immediately responded.

"I’ve caused my ministers a fright! This is just a joke between me and Lady Moon!" The old emperor turned around, strode back to his seat, sat down steadily, and smiled at the Empress who had been supported by Auntie Sun to stand, "Empress, I made you worried too."

The Empress didn’t expect things would turn around so quickly. Her heart raced but then calmed as she pushed away Auntie Sun and forced a smile, gently scolding, "Your Majesty is truly cruel! What game did you play with Moon Testing this girl’s martial skills on such an important day is terrifying."

"This way my birthday becomes more interesting!" The old emperor laughed again, turning to the kneeling Cloud Prince, "Prince Ye, get up. When have I ever really wanted to kill Lady Moon It was just a scare tactic. But this girl knows it’s just that, she relies on my fondness for her and acts lawlessly. As you can see, she's not afraid of me at all."

"Your subject is frightened!" The Cloud Prince tried to stand up but his legs were too weak.

"Prince Ye must love your daughter very much! Rest assured; even for the sake of Lady Yun, I wouldn't harm her," the old emperor smiled and waved at him.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing such care towards my daughter!” The Cloud Prince took a while to stand up tremblingly.

"Qingran, Tianyi, you two may also rise!" The old emperor looked at the two who were still kneeling on the ground. He laughed heartily again, "I remember that Yue丫頭 used to be a haughty person, with no good relationship with anyone. Today, it turns out she has such good interpersonal relations, making her sons and nephew unwillingly defy the imperial edict to protect her." Upon finishing his words, he waved his hand, "Tianyu, you may also return to your seat!"

"Yes, Father Emperor!" Ye Tianyu walked towards the seats. His steps were a little shaky compared to usual.

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

“Thank you, Uncle Emperor!”

Ye Tianyi and Qingran stood up simultaneously and returned to their seats.

Wen Lai handed the shattered snow sword to Yun Qianyue at this moment. Everyone's gaze turned towards the sword. It was seen that the sword sheath was very exquisite, with cloud patterns engraved on it. The entire sword sheath was slightly shorter and narrower than usual precious swords.

Yun Qianyue reached out to take it. Her slender hand gripped the sword sheath as she gently pulled out the sword. With the sword out, bits of clear snow-like light suddenly appeared, as if pieces of snowflakes had shattered on the blade. It was not splendid but was pure like ice and snow, thin as paper. She smiled contentedly and suddenly turned her head to smile at Rong Jing, "It looks just like your Ice Soul!"

Rong Jing smiled faintly and said softly, "They were originally a pair!"

"Did the Emperor Uncle agree with my marriage" Holding the sword and swaying it happily, Yun Qianyue asked the old emperor, "Thank you so much for the Emperor Uncle's favor. Are you planning to grant me and Rong Jing another happy occasion by bestowing our betrothal today"

The old emperor was taken aback, "Yue丫頭, stop causing trouble after getting Shattered Snow. You have already ruined my birthday banquet!"

"Show your Ice Soul then!" Yun Qianyue felt that even if it didn't succeed, she had to try her best today to make the old emperor choke on his anger.

Before Yun Qianyue's words ended, Rong Jing already held another sword in hand.

The crowd looked at Rong Jing in surprise and did not know how he managed to get a sword in front of everyone. But they all knew that Crown Prince Jun’s martial arts were beyond imagination; it was no wonder.

Yun Qianyue reached out to pull Rong Jing's sword out, revealing a faint ice light from the sword sheath. The blade was as thin as paper and crystal clear like ice and snow. She combined both swords together and looked at the old emperor with a smile, "Uncle Emperor, how have I been causing trouble You can see that Ice Soul and Shattered Snow were originally a pair. Is it not fate for Rong Jing and me to be matched"

"Tianyi also has such a sword in hand!" The old emperor looked at those two swords and said solemnly.

Yun Qianyue's heart stirred; could the other precious sword of the world's three famous swords be in Ye Tianyi’s hands She had never known. She raised her head to look at Ye Tianyi.

"Indeed! That Clear Soul is on this servant!" Ye Tianyi nodded, and without seeing him make any movements, another sword appeared in his hand. He lightly flicked his finger, causing the sword to break free from its sheath. Like Ice Soul and Shattered Snow, it was instantly like a shattered piece of icy jade, crystal clear and cold.

Without looking at the engraving or patterns on the sword sheaths and blades, the three swords looked identical.

Yun Qianyue's lips suddenly pursed; could such entanglements be truly fate She sighed inwardly with some helplessness.

"Ice Soul, Shattered Snow, Clear Soul are the world’s three famous swords." The old emperor looked at them smilingly and then glanced meaningfully at Yun Qianyue, "Yue丫頭, you can't say that you and Crown Prince Jun and this Emperor's seventh son all have a predestined match. Are you asking me to bestow betrothals for the three of you"

Yun Qianyue suddenly put away Shattered Snow and returned Rong Jing’s sword to its sheath, smiling casually at the old emperor, "I was joking! It's just a sword; it must be that the swordmaker made an extra one. That is human workmanship, where does fate come in Uncle Emperor, you are wise and intelligent, how could I lead you astray"

"You this little devil! You disrupted my birthday banquet but got Shattered Snow from me. Yet I haven't seen your gift to me!" The old emperor scolded her.

“Who says I didn’t prepare anything I prepared it a long time ago, and this gift is guaranteed to be liked by the Emperor Uncle!” Yun Qianyue thought of her barrel of ginger; she couldn't let all that preparation go to waste!

"Oh Let me see what kind of birthday present could match up with Shattered Snow!" The old emperor asked amusedly.

“Ten Shattered Snows are still not as good as the gift I prepared for you!” Yun Qianyue smiled mysteriously and shouted out, “Linglian, Yixue, bring forward my birthday present!”

Her voice wasn't very loud. After her words ended, no one outside the hall responded.

Yun Qianyue looked at the old emperor and said, "Uncle Emperor, my birthday gift is with me and two maidservants! They should be quite far from the palace now. Since no one can get near them, they probably cannot hear us."

"Hmm, announce it! Let those two come in!" The old emperor looked at Wen Lai.

Wen Lai immediately understood and shouted outside, "Announce to bring Ling Lian and Yi Xue into the palace!"

The moment Wen Lai finished speaking, an imperial edict was announced outside the grand hall. Then one announcement after another could be heard all the way until the entrance of the Imperial Palace.

Everyone had been frightened by the tension that had just occurred and their hearts calmed down a bit now. They were curious about what birthday gift Yun Qianyue had prepared, which seemed to even surpass Snow Fragments in value.

In no time at all, Ling Lian and Yi Xue came into the grand hall carrying a wooden barrel of ginger. The two maidservants walked straight ahead without looking around until they reached the center of the palace hall.

Everyone opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

"Moon, this is what you prepared for my birthday gift What on earth is it" The old emperor looked at the wooden barrel of ginger with a puzzled expression.

The corners of Yun Qianyue's mouth twitched. She thought that since the old emperor was an emperor, he had never seen or heard about ginger before which wasn't strange. She suddenly felt like playing a trick on him and looked at Prince Deking, "Prince Deking, do you know what this is If you know, tell Uncle Emperor."

"This...I don't know!" Prince Deking also stared at the wooden barrel of ginger, then shook his head.

"Then how about Prince Xiaoqing" Yun Qianyue looked over at Prince Xiaoqing.

"This... I don't know either!" Prince Xiaoqing also shook his head.

"What about Father" Yun Qianyue asked Cloud King.

"This...I don't know as well, Uncle Emperor," said the Cloud King, shaking his head at him.

"Moon, you are not being evasive, right What is this thing" The old emperor looked at the wooden barrel of ginger. He had never seen it before but he knew that it was a wooden barrel and what was inside should be food. But what kind of food could possibly be more precious than Snow Fragments It looked like a baby's toy. Was it Ginseng Fruit No, not quite...

"Looks like Uncle Emperor, Father, Prince Deking and Prince Xiaoqing have all grown old! You can't even recognize something as ordinary as ginger," Yun Qianyue thought that the older a person was, the less willing he would be to admit it. Therefore, she decided to make him say it out loud.

"Moon!" The old emperor scowled at her.

"I think Gungong Wen Lai must know!" Yun Qianyue looked over at Wen Lai and hoped that the old emperor would realize how inferior he was to a eunuch like Wen Lai.

"Wen Lai, tell me what it is," The old emperor also turned his gaze towards Wen Lai. He could not vent out his anger toward Yun Qianyue but could not suppress it either.

"This...I don't know!" Wen Lai looked at the wooden barrel of ginger and then saw the puzzled expressions on the faces of the three kings, so he turned to Yun Qianyue. She winked at him, and he immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is a barrel of ginger."

"Hmm A barrel of ginger" The old emperor frowned, "What is ginger"

"Ginger...is commonly used to make soup or dishes in the Imperial Kitchen," Wen Lai could only explain.

The old emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this and glared at Yun Qianyue with a stern expression, "Moon, is this your birthday gift Are you playing tricks on me"

"Uncle Emperor, how am I tricking you Look carefully. What is this thing" Yun Qianyue sighed helplessly, "How could you not know it You've governed the empire for so many years and are renowned for your wisdom and intelligence. How can you be that stupid" She stressed out on the last word in a way that everyone could hear clearly.

Everyone was confused. Wasn't this just a barrel of ginger Could it turn into Ginseng Fruit

The old emperor studied it carefully but still couldn't figure out what it was. He turned to Rong Jing, who had been rather quiet throughout the birthday banquet today, and said in a stern voice, "Young Prince Jing, you are the most gifted genius of our time. Tell me what this is

Yun Qianyue blinked her eyes and looked at Rong Jing.

Rong Jing's gaze seemed to hold a hint of amusement as he gazed at the steaming ginger in the bucket, saying, "This is a bucket of Shanjian Ginger!"

"Mm, you really are my soulmate! There’s a reason why I love you!" Yun Qianyue didn’t care about how many people were present in the grand hall; she reached out to give Rong Jing a light hug before letting go of him and smiling at Emperor Shizhan. "Uncle Emperor, do you understand now I’ve given you a bucket of Shanjian Ginger!"

"Unify the empire" The elderly emperor raised an eyebrow.

“Yes! A bucket of Shanjian Ginger! Ever since the first ancestor unified this land, over a hundred years have passed and the empire is still under the rule of the Heavenly Sage Dynasty. It’s also your realm, so what do you think Is a bucket of Shanjian Ginger worth more than ten handfuls of broken snowflakes” Yun Qianyue asked with a smile.

The crowd finally understood why there was a mountain-shaped arrangement of ginger in the bucket.

Ye Qing, Night Qingran couldn’t help but let out a hint of a smile. Nigth Tianyi watched as Yun Qianyue naturally hugged Rong Jing and then released him; when he saw the fleeting smile on his face disappear after seeing Ling Lian and Yi Xue carrying a bucket of ginger up to the hall, he felt ashamed. Night Tiandyu thought that such a small amount of ginger wouldn’t cost too many silver coins, but this girl was truly good at giving gifts. Nan Lingrui wanted to fan himself in delight, but then remembered his fan had been destroyed by Rong Jing earlier and became angry; he decided firmly that the little girl would have to make him another one. The Prime Minister of Southern Liang rarely had a warm gaze, but now it was shining warmly. Ye Qing’s face lit up with a smile as Yun Muhuan finally set his heart at ease.

"Hahaha..." The elderly emperor was speechless for a moment before bursting out into laughter again.

The empress glared at Yun Qianyue, but couldn’t help smiling. She had been frightened by this little girl earlier, only to see her perform another trick just like that; she thought there probably wasn’t anything in the world she wouldn’t do or be afraid of doing.

"Good! Good! Excellent!" The elderly emperor said three times after laughing and finally declared, "Unifying the empire is a great gift!"

Yun Qianyue thought to herself that you’d say it’s good anyway!

"Alright! All officials raise your cups! Let’s drink to this little girl for her wonderful gift!" The elderly emperor laughed and raised his cup.

The crowd raised their cups in unison and drank them down in one gulp.

"Little girl, you said that I should put this gift somewhere," the elderly emperor looked at Yun Qianyue.

“Anyway, I’ve given my gift! Now that this bucket of Shanjian Ginger belongs to Uncle Emperor, if you want to place it anywhere, just do so,” Yun Qianyue shook her head and clipped a broken snowflake on her waist before raising her cup for a sip. She thought she had fun singing, acting, and playing tricks with the old emperor; such a day was truly exciting.

"Very well! Wen Lai, put this bucket of Shanjian Ginger in the national treasury and keep it carefully!" The elderly emperor ordered Wen Lai.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Wen Lai hurriedly answered but wondered how he could store it properly. It was ginger; if not eaten, it would eventually rot or spoil.

Many people thought the same way as Wen Lai did, but seeing that the emperor was pleased, no one dared to say a word against it. How could they tell him that this bucket of Shanjian Ginger would still go bad even if stored in the national treasury That would be suicide.

"Wait!" Princess Six finally stood up after sitting next to Concubine Ming for a while; she thought there was hope, but then heard Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue’s默契鳳凰求凰performance on guqin and shakuhachi. She saw the young man in poetic white brocade robes with one raised lip, one shallow smile, tender gaze, and warm words all directed at Yun Qianyue alone; she was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred and shouted, "Father! You should punish Yun Qianyue for her crime! How can she fool you with a bucket of ginger"

"Princess Six, that’s not just ginger. It symbolizes unifying the empire. Are you saying I’m trying to trick His Majesty with it This is no joke; who would dare to do such a thing" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Six; she had been staring at Rong Jing from the moment they entered the hall. She knew that this woman, who was knocked unconscious after being thrown up a tree, hadn’t learned anything since then.

"Six, sit down!" The elderly emperor sternly glanced at Princess Six.

“No, Father! What she gave you is edible ginger; how can it be stored It will rot anywhere,” said Princess Six firmly.

Yun Qianyue sighed. There were so many foolish women in the world! Hadn’t she given the elderly emperor a way to gracefully exit this situation earlier How could he still think of slapping her again Not only was Princess Six foolish, but utterly senseless; Yun Qianyue looked at her lazily and said with disdain, "Princess Six, how dare you say that unifying the empire will go bad What audacity!"

The elderly emperor’s face turned black.

"Six, stop causing trouble!" Concubine Ming was terrified and quickly stood up; she grabbed Princess Six's arm and hurriedly apologized to the emperor with a soft voice like water dripping from her lips. "Your Majesty, six knows nothing and is just speaking nonsense. It’s your birthday today; please don’t take it too seriously."

Yun Qianyue looked at Concubine Ming and finally understood why this woman was still favored in the palace after all these years. She embodied a woman who loved water, to perfection.

"Mother, why are you stopping me I’m right," said Princess Six as she waved her hand to shake off Concubine Ming’s grip.

The Empress Ming was furious and she raised her hand to slap the Sixth Princess across her face. There was a crisp sound of "Pah" as half of the Sixth Princess's face instantly swelled up. The Empress Ming shouted at the Sixth Princess, “Hurry up and apologize to your father!”

"Mother... You actually hit me You've never hit me since I was young..." The Sixth Princess held her face in disbelief as she looked at the Empress Ming, "What I said isn't wrong at all. How can that ginger hold up"

“You still dare to say it!” The Empress Ming raised her hand again and slapped the other half of the Sixth Princess's face. There was another crisp sound as she shouted furiously, “Wicked daughter! Apologize to your father immediately！”

The Sixth Princess no longer covered her face and suddenly pushed the Empress Ming away with a sharp voice, "I didn't do anything wrong at all! Yun Qianyue was in the wrong! She already played forbidden love songs, yet now she’s even pulling out ginger that will rot as an excuse to say about unifying the empire. She is simply…"

"Shut up!" The old emperor was extremely angry and interrupted the Sixth Princess with a stern voice.

The Sixth Princess obviously feared the Heavenly Might of the old emperor, immediately ceasing her words.

“The Sixth Princess is foolish and ignorant. Starting today, she will be confined to her chambers! Without my permission, she’s not allowed out.” The old emperor waved his hand as he ordered, “Soldier, take the Sixth Princess away!”

"Father" The Sixth Princess looked at the old emperor in disbelief. What she said was clearly true, so why wouldn't Yun Qianyue be punished but instead her

Soldiers immediately entered from outside and dragged the Sixth Princess out while she screamed and shouted. The old emperor bellowed, "Plug up her mouth!" A soldier instantly covered the mouth of the Sixth Princess as they dragged her away.

"Preposterous!" The old emperor was so enraged that he was trembling. Although Yun Qianyue had given him ginger to unify the empire, whether or not it was worth a few pennies didn't matter; what was important was its good symbolism. But precisely because of this foolish and ignorant daughter.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! It’s all due to my poor upbringing of my daughters! Please punish me!" The Empress Ming immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded for her crimes.

“Look at your three daughters!” The old emperor vented his anger onto the Empress Ming by kicking her with his foot.

The body of the kneeling Empress was harshly kicked. Despite how painful it must have been, she didn't dare to cry out in pain.

Yun Qianyue saw that the Empress Ming did not budge when kicked by the old emperor and her eyes narrowed. Recalling that Night Tianqiong had moved a little upon being kicked, this clearly indicated that the Empress Ming was also an accomplished martial artist. As expected, there were many hidden talents in the Heavenly Saint Capital where everyone wore masks. Did the old emperor know all these years that she possessed such abilities

“Get up.” Although still angry, the old emperor no longer vented his anger on Empress Ming.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Empress Ming was helped to her feet by an elderly maid. Her face was extremely pale.

"Making a spectacle of my family! Truly not peaceful..." Sitting back down, the old emperor didn't seem to have been angry at all as he smiled at everyone below and asked Wenhua, "Whose turn is it for their talent show Let's continue!"

Wenhua quickly bowed and picked up that book of names, glancing through them before calling out, “Miss Wen Ruyan from the residence of Great General Wen!”

All eyes were on the seat of the Residence of Great General Wen as Wen Ruyan stood up.

Seeing that she still wore a veil, Yun Qianyue thought back to how ruthless Ye Qian’s prank had been last time. Her face hadn’t healed even after such a long time. She glanced at Ye Qian and saw her holding a mirror to look at herself. Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes but then noticed that Ye Qian suddenly turned the mirror, revealing a cold light in its reflection. Yun Qianyue’s expression changed as she immediately identified it as a silent, slender hidden weapon aimed directly at the location of the South Liang National Master.
