In early September, the weather was clear and the autumn air felt good.

The morning of the capital was covered with a layer of pure white, flawless mist frost, and was so hazy that it could captivate the eyes.

Today was the happy day for Crown Prince to marry Ye Luoli, the crown prince's residence was covered in red silk, and was filled with joy.

Although Ye Luoli was the secondary wife, he still carried the dragon in his possession and was heavily favored by the empress dowager. The empress dowager had ordered the crown prince to give her a grand wedding as compensation.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's Palace was bustling with noise and excitement today.

At noon, Dongfang Chen personally led the group as he carried the palanquin all the way from the palace to the crown prince's mansion, his face filled with a happy smile.

In contrast to the bustling atmosphere in the crown prince's residence, the Tai Bei Manor seemed desolate and desolate. All of the maidservant were cautious in their words and deeds, afraid of disturbing the master of the Xuanjing Garden.

"Miss, Crown Prince is really going too far. As the main wife, you haven't even passed the door yet and you want to marry a side wife and enter the sect so openly? Isn't this just slapping Miss's face?"

Hearing the lively atmosphere outside the residence, Cui He said angrily, her delicate face puckered up, she was even more anxious than Shangguan Jingyan.

"Talking about the Crown Prince is a capital offense, don't try to be quick about it. "Alright, I've basked enough today, help me back to my room!"

Lying on the imperial concubine's rattan chair, Shangguan Jingyan lazily opened his autumn colored eyes and slowly stretched as he ordered Cui He in a low voice.

Face-smacking?

She didn't think so.

These days, she suddenly recalled what she had done all these years. There was not a single thing that had happened for herself. It had all been for the crown prince that was revered by tens of thousands of people.

When she was five years old, Dongfang Hao took Dongfang Chen to the Tai Bei Manor to play. She had initially wanted to scare them off by hiding on the fake mountain, but then she slipped and fell. But in that moment of life and death, Dongfang Chen saved her.

She looked at Dongfang Chen who seemed to be meticulously carving a porcelain doll, and was extremely beautiful.

At that time, she was thinking that if she was able to marry him, she would definitely be extremely happy.

From then on, she knew that he was the crown prince of Dongjun Kingdom, the future emperor. She worked even harder to make herself more outstanding and qualified to look down upon the world with him.

The Heavens did not disappoint those who followed her. When she sat on the seat of the number one genius in capital, she would be able to make him glance at her with one eye.

But the good news did not last long. Never in her dreams did she expect that the ugly and saltless woman from Prime Minister's Estate would actually cause a storm in the capital and attract Dongfang Chen's attention.

She tried her best to get on good terms with him, hoping that he would let her go and take pity on her love for him for more than a decade.

Then, she didn't expect that although Bai Zhixi didn't like the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince actually fell in love with him.

She had thought about Bai Zhiru, or the two sisters from the Situ Family, but she didn't think that it would be Bai Zhixi.

Fortunately, the heavens had treated her well. Bai Zhixi had already disappeared into the Forest of Death, so she still had a chance.

So what if he was pregnant with a bastard child? So what if Ye Luoli was in the door earlier than her?

She would definitely let Dongfang Chen marry her and bring her into the crown prince's mansion.

Ye Luoli was just a stepping stone. She would let her know what it was like to go from being a phoenix on high to a useless jailer.

After the ignorant Cui He took care of Shangguan Jingyan, she quietly left in a hurry towards the courtyard that Grand Commandant Shangguan lived in.

But after she left, Shangguan Jingyan who was sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed suddenly sat up, he coldly glanced at the locked door, and changed into a set of clothes that could not be considered gorgeous, she gently turned the dresser, and a pitch black secret passage appeared in front of her.

She swept a cold glance around the room, then leapt up and disappeared into the secret passage.

In the dark and gloomy secret passage, a few clusters of candlelight were swaying in the cold wind, as if they were only willing to break the candlelight.

Shangguan Jingyan nimbly passed through the layers of mechanisms and stopped in front of the stone door that was covered with dust.

Suddenly, she took off the hairpin from her head and pierced it into the lion's eye carved on the stone door. "Boom!" The stone door slowly opened. A dazzling golden light shot out and she uncomfortably stretched out her hands to block the light.

"Greetings, Young Lord!"

In front of her were five or six young girls in black clothing kneeling on the ground. Their faces revealed looks of reverence as they exuded a strong and well-trained aura.

After Shangguan Jingyan entered, the stone door automatically fell, isolating itself from everything outside.

"You know, that's how it is?"

Shangguan Jingyan had already changed into an ice-cold face, and asked the woman in black behind him as he walked forward.

"Young master, the experiment was very successful. The elders of each sect are only waiting for you to examine and verify the results."

Junzi's dark face lit up, and his words were filled with a strong sense of pride.

If the young master knew that the experiment would be so successful, he would definitely be very happy.

They were speechless along the way, but there were many guards who tightly sealed the secret passage. The further in they went, the more concentrated the guards were.

In the end, Shangguan Jingyan stopped in front of a stone door that looked like a cage.

Just like before, he took off the hairpin and lightly shot it into the tiger's eyes. In the next second, the stone door slowly opened, and a smell of rust wafted out.

"Greetings, Young Lord!"

Inside the stone door, a dozen old men in black robes and white hair were whispering to each other. When they saw her walk in, they immediately bowed to her.

Shangguan Jingyan seemed to be used to everything as he waved his hand at them, and walked towards the gigantic black object.

When he walked in, he saw that the black monster was made of black iron.

The structure of the body, the medicine room, and the cannon tail resembled a cannon car.

"Young master, I will follow your instructions and push this monster to the back of the mountain. If this monster was used on the battlefield, he would definitely be invincible. My Southern Barbarian clan's reappearance is just around the corner. "

The white-haired old man who was in the lead was extremely shrewd. His tiny eyes were filled with a sinister light as he caressed the turret while talking to himself.

If this item could help his Southern Barbarian clan take over an entire world, then the few years of their time would not have been wasted.

Shangguan Jingyan tremblingly reached out his hand and caressed the ice-cold huge monster. A look of amazement flashed through his calm eyes, but he didn't think that it would actually be casted.

Five years ago, she followed her father to Prime Minister Bai Palace to see the birthday banquet. During the banquet, it was extremely boring and she secretly ran to the fake mountain on the west side of Prime Minister's Estate to play by herself.

He originally wanted to sleep on top of the fake mountain, but instead he found the ugly girl, Bai Zhixi, who was living in the Prime Minister's Estate, hiding in the fake mountain gap alone.

She was curious for a moment, so she peeked her head out and saw that she had drawn this thing. She also heard the discussion she had with the little maidservant beside her about the use of this monster.

Hearing what she said, her heart was filled with shock. She never thought that Bai Zhixi was actually someone who pretended to be stupid and lie to the world, and even wanted to dominate the world.

However, being born with a competitive spirit, she would never allow her mission, which she had shouldered since she was young, to be trampled on by a bastard girl. She had to get this thing to help her Southern Barbarian's descendents see the light of day again.

Under the control of her mind and body, she lifted up a huge boulder and threw it towards the two, using her martial arts to snatch the blueprint in Bai Zhixi's hands, she fled back to the banquet hall.

On the third day after the incident, she heard her father say that a thief had broken into the Prime Minister's banquet and killed a maidservant. That silly and ugly Shu girl had been thrown into the river by an assassin after witnessing everything. Fortunately, she had been saved by the Prime Minister's wife and had lost her life.

However, after waking up, the Shu girl became even more foolish, and did not even remember what she had done.

This way, she felt more at ease.

After she received the blueprint, she gave it to the descendants of the Southern Barbarian Clan. She ordered them to forge it according to this blueprint, and to create it for five years straight even without thinking about it.

Fortunately, she had succeeded. She would take everything that belonged to her, including the people and the world.

Shangguan Jingyan stood by the side of the cannon carriage and released a frigid King's Qi, suppressing the people in the secret room to the point that they did not dare to breathe.

"Does the Young Lord have any dissatisfaction with this item?"

Seeing her expression, the old man from before carefully broke the silence and asked, his eyes full of respect.

Shangguan Jingyan was the only princess left behind in the bloodline of the Southern Barbarian Imperial Family. Because the Southern Barbarian family had been taken back under the command of the Phoenixis Maiden back then, these subordinates of theirs were not satisfied, so they escaped with the young crown prince and hid in the east county for several hundred years in order to avenge the Southern Barbarian family.

Although Shangguan Tai Ming was also a descendant of the Southern Barbarian Imperial Family, he was not as wise and decisive as his daughter, and his skills were not as good as Shangguan Jingyan's.

His subordinates naturally wouldn't be willing to accept this.

However, the only person who treated this seemingly innocent and naive girl was actually a resourceful and ruthless young master who had a lot of respect.

"We are extremely satisfied, but the effort that we have put in these past few years has not been in vain. Now that the world is in a precarious situation, it's a good time for my Southern Barbarian to return. Let these foolish people enjoy a few short months of peace! "

The corner of Shangguan Jingyan's lips curled up coldly, his face was indifferent and cold, the urgency in the secret room had dropped by a bit, and the temperature in the room was only this high in winter and in winter.

"Young master, does this monster have a name?"

Name?

"Name it Cannon."

She remembered that Bai Zhixi mentioned the name of this item before he fainted.

"Cannon car, what a great name! To be able to get such a name from it is simply perfect."

The other elder standing by the side stroked his white beard and nodded his head as if it was natural.

This thing exhausted all of their energy. If they were to put it into the battlefield, it would definitely be the one and only trump card in the world.

Sooner or later, the world would still belong to their clan called Southern Barbarian.

"Young master, I heard that Crown Prince married a secondary wife. Do you want this old man to send someone …"

The grey-haired old man made a gesture of wiping his neck, his eyes full of viciousness.

"No worries." Tell Uncle Situ, has the Emperor of Dongjun Kingdom woken up in time? This young miss is still waiting for him to take charge of this young miss' big wedding with the Crown Prince. As for Situ Lan … After all, it's my mother-in-law in name, and I've pardoned her for her sins with a great deal of mercy. If there is a next time, I will not let you off lightly. "

She dared to brazenly instruct Dongfang Chen to use her, and now that she had been reneged on, she was delusional enough to not let Dongfang Chen marry her.
