The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, stood up and raised his head, letting out a long breath. He then closed his eyes and faintly said, "Commander, Vice Commander, Imperial Palace Guard, Vice Commander."

They prayed that the Emperor would only kill them and not implicate their family. After all, all of them had a son, a daughter, and a parent.

"Your majesty, this humble subject is here." The four of them went forward and kowtowed.

"How do you four explain this matter today?" The Son of Heaven, Xuan Yuan, opened his eyes and said.

The four of them felt their hearts tremble as they sighed silently.

The commander of the imperial guards respectfully said, "Reporting to your majesty, today's day is indeed a day when your subordinates have failed to fulfill their duties. Please punish them, your majesty."

As they heard the Commander of the imperial guards speak, the other three also respectfully said, "Your subordinate has failed in his duty. Please punish me, your majesty."

"Please punish me, your majesty."

Seeing that the four of them did not find any excuse, and did not give any more explanations, the Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, slightly nodded his head.

The officials below immediately stepped forward to recommend, "Your Majesty, the four sirs are important officials of the imperial government. Please consider protecting the palace."

Another person came out and said, "Milords, you have great abilities and are responsible for protecting the palace. Please reconsider."

As the two pleaded, dozens of people immediately knelt down and cried out, "The Emperor should value the River and Mountain Country. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Not all the officials kneeled down for the deputy commander of the imperial guards. Not all of them carried sabers and guards, and not all of them begged for mercy. There were more than twenty people present who did not kneel down, nor did they plead for mercy for the four of them. Instead, they opposed their pleas and objections.

The Military Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the laws of the nation, the family rules, no rules, no scope. The four of them did not fulfill their duties and almost caused the Emperor to be assassinated, which is a capital offense.

The twenty or so people who'd been on their knees all cried out, "May the emperor behead the four of them and bring them to the throne." With that, he knelt down.

The Son of Heaven, Xuan Yuan, and Chen Mo looked at the two groups of people below without saying anything.

The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, was not an idiot. He was a Saint Lord of his generation, a wise and courageous man with a keen eye. He naturally knew who was right and who was wrong, who should be killed, and who should not be.

The reason why Tian Zi Xuanyuan and Chen Mo had done what they did today was just to scare the four of them, after all, the king had already been assassinated today, if they did not do something, there would definitely be someone below the ground who would not agree to it, and the Son of Tian Xuanyuan and Chen Mo truly did not want to kill the four of them, as they knew how important those four people were to the palace, so they had to be scared.

The four of you, as the commanders and vice commanders responsible for the safety of the imperial palace, do indeed have responsibilities that are difficult to escape. However, I have considered this, the four of you have always made a great contribution to the imperial government, and have done your duty faithfully to protect the imperial palace. I do not pursue this matter, and hope that the four of you will fulfil your duty and surround the imperial palace safely in the future. "

When the four people heard this, they were overjoyed. They hurriedly kowtowed and shouted, "We thank Your Majesty for your mercy. We will do our best to protect the palace in the future and die for Your Majesty."

The Minister of War was not pleased when he heard this, but he did not dare to defy the Sovereign's orders.

What is the way of the king? What was the way of using people? This was the way of the ruler. Extraterritorial benevolence, radish big stick, make people convinced, this is the way of the king ah.

The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, slightly nodded his head and said, "However, although I am not injured today, Imperial Concubine Yuwen took the risk to block a blow for me, so …"

The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen, suddenly stopped and looked down.

Hearing Wen Tianzi, Xuanyuan, and Chen Mo's words, the four men were once again confused and panicked.

"Hehe …" Xuanyuan Chen Mo smiled and said, "Although Imperial Concubine Yuwen's injuries are temporarily fine, there will still be a long scar on her back." Hehe … "Xuanyuan Chen chuckled," Although Imperial Concubine Yuwen's injuries are temporarily fine, there will still be a long scar on her back.

The moment the Emperor's voice fell, the four of them let out a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, this subject is willing to go. This subject will definitely bring the Tianshan Snow Lotus for Imperial Consort Yuwen."

"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to go. This subject will definitely gather the Tianshan Snow Lotus for Imperial Consort Yuwen."

"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to go. This subject will definitely gather the Tianshan Snow Lotus for Imperial Consort Yuwen."

"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to go. This subject will definitely gather the Tianshan Snow Lotus for Imperial Consort Yuwen."

He opened his mouth almost at the same time, rushing to be the first to speak.

Although the environment in the extreme north was very harsh and the temperature was frighteningly low, there was still a chance for them to survive, so no one wouldn't choose to live. Furthermore, anyone could see that the Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, was trying to justify these few people, so that those with ulterior motives wouldn't object.

"Haha, good." The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen, gave a loud laugh and nodded, "Good, I am indeed worthy of being my good subject, but there is no need for four people, only two people. How about this, the commanders of the imperial guards and the guards in front of us will go, the two of you go, I will send a hundred royal guards to help you pick the Tianshan Snow Lotus."

"Also, when you return with success, I will definitely reward you heavily." The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, said loudly once again.

"Thank you, your majesty." When the two of them heard this, they immediately thanked him excitedly.

Every one of them were experienced experts with profound martial arts. After many selections, they were finally able to enter the Imperial Secret Service; this was a type of supreme glory. They considered protecting the emperor as their own responsibility, and would rather die than to let the emperor have a perfect life.

Each of them could fight one against a hundred, and the Imperial Secret Service could only send out ten thousand guards in total. The fact that the Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, had sent out a hundred guards was enough to show how much attention the Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, had placed on him.

"Yes, I wish you all success." The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, said lightly.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The officials kowtowed in gratitude.

In the depths of the imperial palace, within Phoenix Palace, the empress, Shangguan Congxue, was dressing. His personal maid, Qiu Xiang, was dressing and grooming him.

"Esteemed Empress, now is the time for Yuwen Yanran to be injured. You can go and see her." Qiu Xiang said while dressing Shangguan Que. When she said the word "visit," her words were especially charming.

The empress Shangguan Canxue thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Sister Yuwen was injured in order to save His Majesty. As the mother of a nation, I naturally need to visit the head of this harem and pay a visit." Shangguan Bian Xue's visit in full was also rather charming.

He had to admit that this master and servant duo was born in an awkward situation. A palace maid could be so scheming. A queen who didn't think about her mother and wanted to harm the palace all day long was an extremely outrageous thing.

There is an old saying, "Only women and vile people are hard to raise." There were even people who said that the "Twilight Tail Needle was the most malicious of women". This was the true portrayal of the two of them.

However, this was the nature of the affairs of the world. If you did not seek trouble, that did not mean that there would be no trouble. Trouble would come knocking on your door, not to mention this palace.

Women's battles were always the scariest because as long as you offended a woman, she could pay any price. As long as she could take revenge on you, she would not hesitate.

Qiu Xiang smiled as she combed the makeup of the empress, Shangguan Congxue. It was very carefully combed, very meticulously combed, and quite neat.

The empress Shangguan Guangxue smiled and said, "Qiuxiang, you've been with the public all your life, following by my side. Are you lonely without a man?"

Qiuxiang was obviously surprised at Shangguan Congxue's words, then smiled. "Esteemed Empress must be joking. Qiuxiang being by your side is already the greatest fortune, how could she dare ask for anything else?"
