irculating online recently I was the one piloting it. Haven't they been looking for the operator all this time Releasing this information now might be more advantageous for me."As soon as the ripples...Huo Mingliang looked at the knife slashing towards him, his face pale. For the first time, he realized that death was so close to him. He instinctively ducked his head. Although he dodged being split open, he directly had his entire right arm chopped off.

"Ah!!!" A scream echoed through the cell, drawing in more soldiers. As Huo Mingliang fainted from the pain, all he heard were the sounds of clashing swords and a cold voice:

"The Queen has decreed, he must live!"

But he is bleeding too much now, I'm afraid.

"This is ginseng sent by the Queen."

"Good, with this ginseng root, the old minister will definitely save him."

Ho Mingliang felt his body floating again, as if he were about to leave it the next second.

He saw a middle-aged female doctor, cut a piece of ginseng and shoved it directly into the Fifth Prince's mouth. The next moment, his soul was pulled back into his body like being subject to gravity. A sharp pain followed, and his consciousness blurred again.

“Although the pulse is still weak and floating, it has stabilized. There is no immediate danger to life. What remains is recuperation. Excessive blood loss means that if care isn't taken, he may not live past thirty.”

The physician took up his pen and began to write the prescription.

The soldiers responsible for guarding Huo Mingliang have been taken into custody for incompetence and are now being questioned. The guards surrounding their cell are all new recruits sent by the Grand Princess.

The Great Princess was also a little annoyed. She had given countless warnings, but there were still such blunders. Luckily, she had left behind guards, otherwise, if the Phoenix Nest Kingdom attacked the Dragon Coil Kingdom this time, they would have been in the wrong, even if they were right.

"Did they find anything in the dead assassin's belongings"

The Great Princess frowned and asked.

"No, they saw the situation was hopeless and didn't want to be captured. They bit open the poison sacs hidden in their teeth and took their own lives. Their clothes had no special markings, and besides swords, there was nothing else on them."

The female guard replied in a low voice.

"You arrange for that Fifth Prince to be moved to a different location and increase his security level. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

"Yes, subordinate will do so immediately."

"Come back! Go check again, how did those assassins infiltrate the dungeon I can't believe it wasn't with an inside man."

"Yes, subordinate will go check right away."

On the other hand, Zhu Xiu Yuan's second princess also received the news. When she learned that the fifth prince was not dead, her eyes darkened and she waved her hand, dismissing everyone.

The second princess held the teacup in her hand, stood there for a while in her own courtyard, and then went to find her father.

The Phoenix Head closest to the ripples came to see the Empress first, whispering:

Those assassins who killed Panlong Kingdom's five princes approached the dungeon through the Second Princess. Recently, at midnight, the Second Princess' mansion transported three large chests into the mansion. According to her guards, they were all filled with gold and silver.

"What a short memory! Thinking you can get away with anything just because she's my daughter."

Ripple let out a cold snort.

"Besides submitting to her dark guards, everyone else withdraws back, allowing them to leave the Queen's Dark Guard. You arrange their next destination for them and make sure they leave the capital completely."

"Thank Your Majesty for your compassion. The undersigned represents them in thanking you for your grace!"

Phoenix bowed down on one knee, performed a ritual bow, and then quietly slipped out of the room where ripples were.

The new emperor of Panlong Nation is still waiting, waiting for the reply from the assassins he sent to kill his fifth younger brother. As long as the fifth prince dies, his situation won't be so passive.

Unfortunately, he did not wait for news of the assassination's success. Instead, he was killed by his pregnant concubine who severed his throat. As he fell, his beloved wife screamed madly:

"Ming Long (the Fifth Prince's name), I avenged you! You won't be alone on the path to Huangquan, I'll drag your third brother with me to keep you company! Hahaha woo!"

The pregnant imperial concubine was pierced through the heart by a Dark Guard from Panlong Nation. As she fell, she still clutched the Fifth Prince's personal dragon pendant—a symbol of his identity, now also evidence of his regicide.

The new emperor of the Panlong kingdom died just like that, killed by a concubine in the palace. The Panlong kingdom was thrown into chaos for a time, and both the fourth and sixth princes stepped forward. After all, they were the most eligible to inherit the throne.

Zhang Zhang was still at home listening to his concubine sing a tune when he received the news that the new emperor had been assassinated. His face changed color instantly, and he rushed to the palace, ordering everyone in the mansion to change into plain clothes. The death of the new emperor was a national mourning.

When the message reached the border of Fengqi Nation, General Fengming had already tidied up Fengxi City and was waiting for further orders. Upon learning that the new emperor of Panlong had died, she burst out laughing.

This man was killed by his own favorite concubine, and the pregnant concubine, who was also the fifth prince's admirer, thought that the fifth prince would definitely die this time. She directly took her family with her to accompany the fifth prince to death.

Ironically, the fifth prince was living well in their Panlong Kingdom, though he had lost an arm.

Such good news, of course, I have to share it with everyone. Pass the word to the other three cities and keep an eye on the movements of our opponents. If nothing unexpected happens, they should stop attacking the city.

"Yes, subordinate will immediately send the order."

As Feng Ming guessed, the enemy general retreated back to their city within Panlong Country upon receiving the news. They also declared their allegiance to the new emperor, a feat that guaranteed at least three generations of prosperity and wealth.

They are generals, wielding armies, and thus the objects of ambition for the two princes vying for power. They naturally need to consider this carefully.

The border between Panlong Kingdom and Fenqi Kingdom instantly fell silent. At the same time, new recruits from the training camp who had undergone six months of rigorous training were immediately sent to the border to replenish the depleted troops from the battle against Panlong Kingdom.

The Third Princess was dumbfounded. She never thought she would one day be on the battlefield.

It's a pity that she didn't even get to see her own father before leaving the recruit camp with the main force at night.

Along with the arrival of new recruits came a new order: to capture four cities in succession. Those who contributed would be rewarded with gold, silver, land, and promotions, effectively breaking Zhao's family army's monopoly on the border region.

Because this promotion of generals was based on real combat achievements, the Zhao family didn't dare to be greedy for credit. Besides, they were very clear that the eldest princess was definitely taking this opportunity to place her own people. They used a bright strategy, and they could only temporarily endure. The game between the two sides was almost laid bare.

The domestic struggle in Panlong lasted for half a year, and finally the sixth prince outmaneuvered the fourth prince, killing him and ending the competition. With Zhang Zhang's support, he ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Panlong Country.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites and the congratulatory letter from the Fengqi Kingdom arrived in Panlong Kingdom together.

As the female official of the Ministry of Rites presented the imperial decree, she spoke in a dignified and composed manner:

"Congratulations to the new Emperor Panlong on his ascension. The Empress is delighted that it is you who has taken the throne, and I believe there should be no more of the previous misunderstandings. I wonder when the new Emperor will bring back your fifth brother"

"Is he still alive"

"Nature!" son had only been gone for less than half a month. It seemed he must have encountered some tricky problem and resorted to using the magic circle to communicate with him."Lily, is there something that...
