Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Almost at the moment Qiu Shuang died, a large group of guards rushed into Nan Mansion with torches and began to ransack the house.

Prime Minister Nan's hands were shackled, his hair was disheveled, and he was escorted away in a state of embarrassment.

There were also cries and wailing in Nanfu.

Such a big commotion naturally woke up the surrounding neighbors and sent their servants out to inquire about the news.

Those who can be neighbors with the Prime Minister naturally have extraordinary status. Several of them are second-rank officials in the court.

When Prime Minister Nan saw this, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has become a vegetative state and is not yet awake. The person who reviews the memorials every day is my daughter. She is Si Chen, a treasonous person! Now, she still wants to

Decide to kill my biological father on unfounded charges! God wants to destroy our Jin country! God wants to destroy our Jin country..."

Soon, his mouth was tightly gagged with a towel by the leader of the guards.

However, Prime Minister Nan's words were indeed heard by many people, and the news spread extremely fast, creating quite a panic in the capital.

Early the next morning, all the officials entered the palace and knelt outside the Zichen Hall where His Majesty lived, demanding to see His Majesty.

Inside the palace.

Nan Xiao sat at the top and was very quiet when she heard Eunuch Li reporting the news. Her eyes always fell on the little blue bib in her hand.

Wen Wan and others looked at her worriedly.

They had just learned of the bad news and hurried over. Now, the Queen has become distraught because of the black cat's death. People really don't know what to do.

They all said words of comfort, but to no avail.

Wen Wan couldn't help but cast her eyes on Gu Jiyue and signaled him to try to persuade her again.

Gu Jiyue nodded, but when he opened his mouth, it was not to comfort him, but to explain what the Queen had asked him to do yesterday.

"Empress, the spy's organization has been found out where it is. The people there have now been taken back to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to undergo torture and interrogation. They have also revealed all the spies planted in Jin State. Empress

,This is the list of all spies."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, bowed and handed it over.

Nan Xiao turned around and glanced at it, and said calmly: "If the people in Yue Kingdom want to find out the news, then let them continue to listen. If the two countries fight, they can use this to send them wrong information. The place where the news is sent should be left first."

Now, kill the rest."

"yes."

Gu Jiyue bowed her head and agreed, and immediately ordered her men to handle it.

Nan Xiao slowly stood up with his heavy body and walked towards the door, waving his hands without looking back.

"You all go back, I will take care of everything."

Everyone looked at her retreating figure and remained silent.

Xiaobai floated to her side to comfort her.

[Host, I have read the plot. There is no description of the black cat. Sheng Tinglan’s resurrection. Calculating the time, it should be just one month later. That time period is exactly the time period in the plot when the male protagonist ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.

.]

Nan Xiao paused in her steps and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Okay..."

The palace door slowly opened, and all the ministers who had been waiting for a long time swarmed in, and they all opened their mouths to ask questions.

"Empress, I heard that you have been approving memorials in His Majesty's name. This is inconsistent with etiquette!"

Nan Xiao glanced at him indifferently, "It's not in line with etiquette? Then do you have a better way? Your Majesty has no children, no brothers and sisters, do you want me to tell the people of Jin State that they

His Majesty is unable to handle the affairs of the government and let them wait for this country without an emperor to slowly perish?"

The minister looked embarrassed when he was questioned and slowly lowered his head.

It was only at this time that the other ministers came to their senses. The Empress stepped forward and temporarily took over His Majesty's duties. This prevented the people of the world from being in chaos, and the country and the country were stabilized. What's wrong with that?

They were also blinded by anger, and without thinking carefully, they rashly entered the palace to question the Queen. This was really inappropriate.

All of a sudden, the courtiers all looked ashamed and bowed to her, saying, "I have violated my decency, please punish me."

But among the crowd, there is always a slightly different voice.

"Even so, Queen Mother, is it because you have selfish motives and want to take this opportunity to control the entire country by hiding your behavior from us?"

"Empress, since the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the master of the family. You are risking the disapproval of the world. I would like to advise the Empress, it is better to hand over the power in your hands as soon as possible."

Nan Xiao sneered: "Give the power over to whom? To you, a fifth-grade official with no royal blood in your body?"

The fifth-grade official's face turned livid when he was told that.

Nan Xiao continued: "Should we hand it over directly to the emperor of the enemy country and ask him, for the sake of my sincerity, not to kill me, not to kill you, and not to kill the people of Jin State?"

When all the courtiers heard this, they couldn't help but panic, and they were so frightened that they almost knelt down in front of her.

The Jin State and the Yue State have never been at odds with each other. Although their relations have eased in recent years, this is all because of the strong national strength of the Jin State and its victory in battles.

Now, if the Jin Kingdom is to fall into the hands of the Yue Kingdom's emperor who always takes pleasure in killing people, then all of them, the Jin Kingdom people, will definitely not be able to escape death.

Several courtiers hurried over and pulled the fifth-rank official who was speaking, signaling him to stop talking.

But this fifth-grade official has no vision at all, and he is used to bullying others.

A few days ago, he was put in jail for beating to death a second-grade official, but because his family was trying to smooth things over with Prime Minister Nan, he was released again.

Not only did he not receive any punishment, he was able to serve as an official in the court and come here to enhance his presence.

The fifth-rank official hated people who opposed him, and continued to use the reason that Nan Xiao was a woman to refute him.

"Prime Minister Nan is right. You are Si Chen. If the Kingdom of Jin falls into the hands of a mere woman like you, it will surely perish!"

Nan Xiao narrowed her cold eyes, feeling the urge to kill this fly with a knife.

At this moment, a powerful voice came from behind her.

"Does that mean... if my country falls into your hands, it will not be regarded as the subjugation of the country?"

Nan Xiao's body suddenly stiffened.

The courtiers looked over and looked at each other, and their eyes widened in surprise.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?!"

Sheng Tinglan walked slowly in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a calm posture. The aura around him was terrifying, and his sharp eyes swept over the fifth-rank official.

The fifth-grade official shivered in fright, lowering his head and not daring to look at him at all.

After all the courtiers came to their senses, they hurriedly saluted him and said, "I will see your Majesty——"

Sheng Tinglan glanced at everyone with cold eyes: "While I am lying in bed, you all come to bully my queen. Ha, you are really my good ministers..."

Cold sweat broke out on the nervous foreheads of all the courtiers.

"Wei Chen is terrified——"

Sheng Tinglan turned his attention to the fifth-rank official again. He immediately knelt down with a thump and kept kowtowing on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I realize that I have made a mistake. I beg your Majesty to show mercy and please spare your life..."
