Chapter 321 The Jade Seal Appears
The night was as dark as ink, slowly covering the entire capital city.
The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, filling the night sky of the capital with a dead silence.
At this time, the guards were dragging the An family towards the mass grave. They ruthlessly abandoned these people as if they were just a pile of worthless garbage.
In this dark moment, An Qinghuan stayed alone in the cell. She sat there quietly, watching everything in front of her calmly.
Suddenly, a mysterious woman appeared outside the cell, wearing a black cloak, her figure looming in the darkness.
The woman walked quietly into the cell, her steps light and silent.
When she entered the cell, she gently took off her cloak, revealing a fierce face.
An Qinghuan recognized her at a glance—Queen Li Qianwan.
Li Qianwan's eyes were cold and sharp, with a sneer on her lips. She did not hide her pride and cruelty, and said to An Qinghuan: "You are so patient!"
An Qinghuan looked at her expressionlessly, without any fear or surprise. She knew this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
Li Qianwan continued, "All of you An family members are dead! His Majesty's decree has been issued, the An family members are treasonous! All of you should be given poisoned wine!"
Hearing the news, An Qinghuan's heart suddenly tightened, but she still remained calm.
She knew it was just a casualty of a power struggle and she and her family had become victims.
An Qinghuan looked at Li Qianwan calmly, her voice soft but firm: "This treason is not justified, you only dare to use poisoned wine in prison! Otherwise, how can you silence the world's gossips!" Her eyes revealed a kind of unyielding and contempt, as if she had already seen through the hypocrisy and cowardice of the person in front of her.
Li Qianwan was enraged by An Qinghuan's words. She raised her hand and slapped her hard, shouting: "Bitch! I have tolerated you for a long time! In the past, you had the support of His Majesty and the An family, and I couldn't do anything to you! Now, I want to watch you die!" Her eyes flashed with anger and jealousy, and she wished she could tear An Qinghuan to pieces.
However, facing Li Qianwan's brutality, An Qinghuan did not flinch, but instead raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. She slowly raised her hand, gently stroked her cheek, then picked up the wine glass on the table without hesitation, raised her head and drank it all!
Li Qianwan widened her eyes and watched in disbelief as An Qinghuan drank the poisoned wine. A smug smile appeared on her face and she laughed heartily: "Hahaha! You and I have been fighting for so many years! But you still died in the end!" Her laughter was full of pleasure and the joy of revenge, as if she had finally avenged herself.
Li Qianwan walked out of the prison happily, with a smug smile on her face. However, when she was about to step into the carriage, suddenly, a wasp flew out from the darkness. It rushed straight towards Li Qianwan at an extremely fast speed and stung her fiercely at the corner of her mouth.
Li Qianwan felt a sharp pain and screamed involuntarily. She lost her balance and fell directly onto the carriage. Due to the force of the fall, her forehead hit the carriage board violently, and a big bump instantly appeared.
At this time, under the shadow of a big tree on the roadside, Xiao Jinghan stood there quietly, watching everything happening in front of him coldly. He was full of disgust and anger towards Li Qianwan, thinking that she deserved it. Luo Lingyue stood aside, with a cunning light in her eyes.
"Please don't stab her to death. I want her to watch everything she has being destroyed!" Xiao Jinghan said coldly.
Luo Lingyue chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't let her die easily. At most, she will be swollen like a pig's head. She actually dared to hit my aunt, this punishment is just a small lesson for her." After saying that, she showed a satisfied smile.
When Li Qianwan returned to the palace to seek medical advice, her head had swollen like a pig's head and her eyes could hardly open! She felt like a monster and was very scared.
The imperial physician could only shake his head when he saw this, and then gave the queen an ointment to cure bee venom. After the queen applied the ointment, the redness and swelling on her face gradually subsided, but some marks were still left.
On the other side, the Crown Prince and Li Mingfu were discussing in the East Palace. The Crown Prince looked at the military token on the desk, feeling somewhat proud.
Now, except for the three states' military talismans in Shang Boxian's hand, the rest of the Dazhao's military talismans are in his hands! He believes that as long as he has enough troops, he can defeat the King of Qin and become the real emperor.
However, the prince's brows were tightly locked together. Because he knew that these three continents were not only a battleground for Dazhao's military strategists, but also a focus of competition among people all over the world.
If he could not obtain the military seals of the three states, it would be difficult for him to compete with the King of Qin. Moreover, since he had caused Shang Wei to become a eunuch before, Shang Boxian would definitely stand on the side of the King of Qin.
Just when Li Mingfu was getting extremely anxious, a young eunuch hurried over and whispered a few words into the prince's ear.
When the prince heard this, his face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said to the eunuch, "Quick! Go and invite him in!"
The young eunuch left in response, and soon led a tall man in. The man wore a hat and a silver mask on his face, so his face could not be seen clearly.
Seeing the prince, the man took off his mask. Li Mingfu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Kong Boda! You are not dead!"
Kong Boda smiled and said to Li Mingfu, "Mr. Prime Minister! Long time no see! I am the leader of Emperor Wen's secret guards!"
Li Mingfu was startled, and after coming to his senses, he asked, "You have been faking your death all these years, is it just to become the leader of Emperor Wen's secret guards?"
Kong Boda bowed his head and replied respectfully: "This is the will of the late emperor. I dare not disobey it."
Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly stood up and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Kong Boda with a smile on his face: "Mr. Kong, please take a seat! Try this cup of tea and see if it suits your taste."
Kong Boda smiled and nodded, then sat down gracefully, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down, carefully took out an exquisite brocade box from his arms, handed it to the prince, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I am here today to help you ascend to the supreme throne!"
The prince couldn't help but widen his eyes, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart. He couldn't wait to take the brocade box and gently opened the lid. In an instant, his eyes froze - inside the brocade box was the imperial seal that he had dreamed of and searched for so long!
This jade seal represents the symbol of imperial power, and possessing it means owning the world. The prince held the jade seal tightly, feeling its heavy weight, as if the entire country was in his hands.
Li Mingfu smiled proudly and said, "Congratulations, Prince!"
