In the imperial palace.

Xiao Muhan held Yun Qixuan and sat on the throne, his face as deep as water, without saying a word. There were more than 30 men and women standing below, all of whom were important figures in the family, and there were some officials and nobles close to the Xiao family.

Her father Xiao Wuji was looking at the door with anger, where the imperial concubine Zhong Xuying supported the bloated Luo Qingyue and had already walked away.

"Queen!" He said with a gloomy face.

"These two imperial concubines are so arrogant! They don't even take your words seriously. Could it be that they forgot who is the one who decides in this palace?"

Xiao Muhan sighed and said, "Father, we can't blame them for this. The secret spy system of the Imperial Guards and the Office of the Internal Affairs was personally agreed to hand over to them. It has been like this for several years. Now that they are asked to hand it over like this, it is not in accordance with the rules at all. No wonder they refuse!"

"But you are the empress of the empire, and the first heir is also yours. Now that your Majesty is in an accident, you should come forward to take charge of the overall situation, whether in the palace or in the court!" Xiao Wuji said angrily,

"The situation in the imperial capital is now dangerous. Letting them hand over the power in their hands is just to prevent problems before they happen and to deter those dissidents! But they actually hold on to their own power and openly disobey orders. They must not just let it go!"

As soon as this statement was made, many members of the Xiao family expressed their resentment and expressed their consent.

Xiao Muhan frowned slightly and said, "What do you want? Do you have to use this reason to punish them? These two concubines have followed His Majesty for many years, and their relationship is extraordinary. Even if they have any mistakes, they have to be dealt with by His Majesty themselves! When Empress Fang was there, she never looked down on them, but now..."

"Now Queen Fang is gone, you are the one who is the master of the palace!" Xiao Wenyue said dissatisfied.

"They disobey your orders, just despise the rules in the palace, just don't take the little princess seriously, especially Luo Qingyue, who is about to be born, and maybe she has set her sights on this seat!"

A dark aura appeared on Xiao Muhan's fair face and said angrily: "Are you a little too much? Your Majesty's life and death are not yet determined. Do you want to deliberately provoke civil strife in the palace?"

"Didn't I plan for you? Do you still want to hand over this big man to that lowly cloned child! What else can you and the little princess have to end..." Xiao Wenyue was also annoyed.

"Enough!" The queen was finally furious, slapped the book case heavily, and scolded him sternly:

"This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future. No matter what you say, I will never consider your opinions before your Majesty's camp returns to the imperial capital! Father, if you don't want to cause disaster to your family, it's best not to make any undeserved ideas!"

After saying that, she held the little princess, stood up angrily, turned into the screen behind the imperial seat and disappeared. Only a group of people were left looking at each other in the same place.

"Brother, what should I do now?" A man who was four or five points similar to Xiao Wuji coughed and asked.

Previously, under the persuasion of the head of the family, Empress Xiao summoned two imperial concubines Luo Qingyue and Zhong Xuying to discuss, and on the grounds that the situation in the imperial capital is now tense, she asked them to hand over the military power in their hands and be controlled by the queen to stabilize the situation.

The reason is high-sounding, but the real intention of the Xiao family is to concentrate power and pave the way for the little princess to ascend the throne as soon as possible!

Especially Luo Qingyue is about to give birth. Once this child is born, it will pose an invisible threat to Yun Qixuan's inheritance rights. Therefore, it will be much easier to find an opportunity to deal with her in the future!

Luo Qingyue and Zhong Xiying are not fools, how could they not see their intention? Naturally, they refused directly! In addition, Xiao Muhan did not agree with this approach, so the matter was left unresolved!

However, from the perspective of the Xiao family, the military power must be obtained! Otherwise, the family's overall plan will be impossible. If the little princess fails to ascend to the top in one day, it will be unreasonable. The Xiao family will not be able to grasp the power naturally!

Xiao Wuji looked at the silent head of the family next to him and said calmly: "The queen values ​​past friendship and is unwilling to force too much, but the future of the family is the most important, and some things must be done! Otherwise, no matter who takes the seat in the future, it will be the end of the family!"

"But the queen is too kind-hearted. As long as she doesn't let go, it will be difficult for us to do..." someone said again.

"Then... we just hide it from her!" A cold light appeared in Xiao Wuji's eyes. "The queen's reputation cannot be affected at all, so we will do this evil person for her!"

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and then calmed down again. The opinions of the Xiao family heirs were actually a normal behavior among those wealthy families. For sufficient interests, direct blood relatives turned against each other and fought each other. What's more, it was related to the dispute over the throne?

The head of the Xiao family who had not spoken finally said: "Your Majesty's situation is not yet determined, so I think you should not do something in a hurry! You should not be too hasty. No matter what, you have to leave some room. If something changes happen in the future, you will have the opportunity to remedy it! What do you think?"

"This..." Xiao Wuji thought for a while, and finally said reluctantly:

"Okay! But we must get the military power. Let's send someone to discuss with them! For the sake of the overall situation of the empire, they should make sacrifices!"

...

"If His Majesty knew that Empress Xiao, whom he had always trusted and favored, would be like this, I wonder if he would regret his decision!"

In the pavilion in the back garden, Zhong Xuying sat down with Luo Qingyue and sighed with some melancholy.

"Your Majesty is not dead yet! They can't wait to seize power? If I had known that this woman was so affectionate and righteous, I should have used some means to fix her!" Luo Qingyue was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry.

Zhong Xuying said: "Actually, there is no need to doubt the queen's affection for His Majesty, but her family is too excessive! And she is also a little indecisive, so this kind of thing happens!"

"What she did is different from what her family did! Is there any difference?" Luo Qingyue said coldly,

"This matter must not be over yet. In order to make her little princess ascend the throne, they will never give up on this military power! Maybe in the next step, some dirty means will be used!"

Zhong Xuying had no objection to this: "Yes, the Yanyue Organization belongs to the dark world, and most of the people in it are rebellious and lawless! The Xiao family's style is naturally not much better! Maybe we should pay attention to our own safety now, especially sister, because of this child, they will definitely not let you go!"

"Of course I know!" Luo Qingyue gritted her silver teeth and said in a stern tone:

"As long as they dare to take action, I will inevitably make them pay an unimaginable price! Don't think that only their Xiao family is the king in the dark world!"

...

The fifth planet, Bernard's mansion.

"Why are you free for me today?" The logistics director who was drinking alone put down the wine glass in surprise and asked the golden axe who had just been brought in by the maid with a smile.

The Minister of Industry changed his usual carefree style and snorted with a calm face: "Now the imperial capital is in chaos. You are still in the mood to drink here, just like a ok, I really admire you!"

"Oh? So it's for this!" Bernard smiled and pulled him down, then called his wife Xue Luqian in, and told her to prepare the meal.

"Actually, this matter is no big deal!" he said lazily,

"It's just some unsightly thieves jumping up and down there. Our Majesty has never been bad luck! Maybe! He did it on purpose, in order to give those guys a chance to make trouble and let all the ambitious people hiding in the dark jump out! Then you can catch them all!"

Jin Yue was slightly stunned, frowned and thought for a moment, but shook his head and said, "No! Brother, the situation is much more serious than you imagined! Even Queen Xiao is not so trustworthy now. Just half a day ago, Queen Zhong summoned me to the palace for a while and told me what happened recently, so I came to find you!"

Then, he told him everything he knew.

Bernard finally got serious, thought for a moment, and said softly:

"I have the ability to do so many things and can not let people catch the direct handle. It seems that only he can do it! I really didn't expect that my former classmate, a close friend who was eating in the pot, would now use so many lives to pave the way for his own selfishness!"

"I just said why did something wrong yesterday? That guy actually wanted me to be loyal to him. He also promised that as long as major events succeed in the future, I will be the future Prime Minister of the Empire and the hereditary prince! Hey! I really don't even know what dream I have!"

"Isn't this the same thing?" Jin Yue snorted coldly.

"The conditions that guy gave me are similar to yours! Anyway, I will draw you a big and beautiful pie so that you can look at it and be envious! For this, I have to suppress my entire life and work hard for him! The wishful thinking is very exquisite, so I don't know if it will be smart but will be mistaken for cleverness!"

"I heard that His Majesty's camp is less than ten days away from the imperial capital," Bernard said,

"There will be attacked for a while. After suffering a few great losses, those forces have begun to learn from it! They no longer continue to send fleets to attack, and just wait for His Majesty to return to the imperial capital to start cleaning up the situation! We don't have to worry about anything at all!"

Jin Yue was about to speak, but Xue Luqian suddenly walked in again and whispered something to Bernard.

After he sent her out quietly, he turned to Jin Yue and said, "Sir Randle is here too, let's go out and have a look!"
