In a hall with tightly shut doors and windows in the distant Xili Empire’s palace.

“Your Majesty, spare me! Spare me!” A man covered in blood lay on the ground and begged for mercy miserably.

However, the bright yellow figure sitting at the top was indifferent.

Under the emperor’s crown, jade flickered with dazzling splendor.

It made the eyes of Xili Empire’s emperor, Ling Tianyin, which was already sinister look even more sinister.

In front of others, he was a gentle and elegant emperor who rarely got angry.

However, he was ruthless and merciless when it came to dealing with people who disobeyed his orders.

Although he was only 35 years old, he was as famous as the Great Qi’s emperor, Gu Yihan. The two of hem were known to be the two emperors who were the least to be trifled with in the eyes of the world.

Ling Tianyin looked at the man begging for mercy in front of him with a cold expression. “Drag him out and kill him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, an imperial guard went forward and dragged the man away.

The man left behind a series of pleas for mercy. Not long after he was dragged out of the hall, his cries stopped at a wail and he stopped breathing.

An official in a crane robe entered.

He was Ling Tianyin’s trusted aide, the minister, Zuo Da.

Minister Zuo cupped his hands. “His Majesty, what wrong did the Vice Minister of Ministry of Revenue do? Why…”

The person who was dragged out just now was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Li.

He had been an official in the imperial court for seven to eight years, but Ling Tianyin had actually killed him.

Ling Tianyin said in a cold tone, “He offended Consort Lu. I’ve already shown mercy by only killing him and not his entire family.”

Consort Lu was the most favored consort in the past few years.

His Majesty doted on her so much.

No one was allowed to say anything bad about her.

Even Consort Lu’s son was made the crown prince by Ling Tianyin.

This kind of favor made outsiders suspect that Consort Lu had used demonic arts to bewitch the emperor.

However, no one dared to say anything, as they were afraid that they would get themselves killed.

Zuo Da could only silently sympathize with the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who had already died tragically.

He cupped his hands and got down to business.

“This letter was sent from Great Qi at high speed. Your Majesty, please take a look.” Zuo Da handed the letter over.

The eunuch beside Ling Tianyin immediately took it and handed it to the emperor.

Ling Tianyin broke the red seal and took out the letter to read it from beginning to end.

He frowned tightly.

The jade tassel hanging under his crown couldn’t hide the anger in his eyes.

“Trash!” He suddenly stood up and threw the letter down.

Minister Zuo Da, immediately bowed. “Your Majesty, please be appeased!”

Be appeased? How could he be appeased?!

Back then, when the old emperor of Great Qi passed away and passed the throne to Gu Yihan, he knew that an opportunity had come.

Grand Consort Yu, who had always thought that she was in charge, never expected that her child would not be able to ascend to the throne in the end.

Therefore, Ling Tianyin, who had just ascended the throne, secretly contacted Grand Consort Yu.

He promised to assist her and Prince Guang, lending them his men and requested them to cooperate with him to overthrow Gu Yihan’s empire.

For this reason, he had planted many spies in Great Qi.

It was all for the sake of helping him completely snatch Gu Yihan’s throne one day!

At that time, he would be able to kill Prince Guang’s family and find an excuse to take over the leaderless Great Qi for himself.

He had laid the groundwork for these things for so long, but he was actually defeated by the stupidity of Prince Guang and Grand Consort Yu!

Minister Zuo Da, went forward, picked up the letter, and read it.

Unlike Ling Tianyin, he was very calm, but he frowned.

“How can there be such an amazing person in this world who doesn’t die even after being poisoned?”

Ling Tianyin’s remaining anger had yet to subside. He looked at him coldly. “Isn’t she Gu Yihan’s only daughter? It’s just that people has exaggerated the story.”

He sneered in disdain.
