713: Upon learning this, the Empress became angry
Five Spirits Continent, Phoenix Feather Dynasty.
In front of the spacious Imperial Palace hall, on the grand staircase, officials were bowing their bodies and treading on hundreds of steps, converging towards the hall.
The morning sun from the horizon shone down, dispelling the chill while bringing a warm and majestic feeling!
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Dull drum sounds slowly echoed.
The entire Phoenix Feather Imperial Palace began to be dyed in a reddish-gold hue, and the cries of the Divine Beast Golden Phoenix kept spreading.
The Heavenly Dao formation in the Imperial Palace lowered its curtain.
Although morning court was held every day, each day's morning court was different.
Anything discussed belonged to state secrets.
And this Heavenly Dao formation in the Imperial Palace had the ability to isolate from Great Power's prying eyes, and could even rebound and kill those who attempted to peek!
This was one of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty's foundations.
As thousands of officials participating in the morning court entered the hall as usual, standing in their respective positions, the Phoenix Throne, guarded by all the officials, also welcomed its Master.
"Your Majesty, may you live for ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand times ten thousand generations!"
A unified voice echoed among the many officials.
That long melody seemed to be able to communicate with Heaven, turning their words into reality!
"Rise."
Kongtong Frost Snow sat on the Phoenix Throne, her calm gaze slowly sweeping over the many officials before her, the immense pressure giving the officials below a familiar feeling as always.
However, compared to before, some people at the front could feel that Your Majesty's pressure was even more profound than before.
It was as if it had undergone another hundred years of refinement.
"Today, has anything happened within the borders of the country?"
Kongtong Frost Snow's calm words fell, and an official immediately stepped forward.
This was the current Left Prime Minister, an official second only to the Right Prime Minister.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the world is peaceful and stable today, there is nothing to report domestically."
"The matter that needs to be discussed now should be Your Majesty's marriage."
The Left Prime Minister's tone was quite firm: "Your Majesty's current Realm has reached the peak of the Five Spirits Continent."
"Everyone knows that between men and women, if the Realm difference is too great, the probability of having children is extremely small."
"If Your Majesty makes further Breakthroughs, I fear there will be no suitable marriage partners in the world who can help Your Majesty give birth to offspring and leave behind a Bloodline."
On the high seat.
Kongtong Frost Snow heard these remarks, her expression unchanged.
"What the Left Prime Minister said makes sense."
After the indifferent voice came out, Kongtong Frost Snow suddenly curled her lips: "But instead of worrying about Our marriage, the Left Prime Minister should worry about himself."
The woman's words fell, and outside the Imperial Palace hall, a group of terrifyingly powerful guards immediately entered and captured the Left Prime Minister!
Looking at the completely bewildered Left Prime Minister, Kongtong Frost Snow slowly got up.
A smile appeared on her exquisite face.
It was just that this smile was terrifyingly cold!
Like snowflakes in a glacier, only hot blood could calm it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why is this?!"
Urgent sounds burst from the Left Prime Minister's mouth.
He was a high-ranking official in the court, how could he be treated like this?!
"Left Prime Minister, colluding with the Demon Sect, bribing nine officials in the court, and even helping the Demon Path forces gain a foothold in Our Five Spirits Continent... You say, Left Prime Minister, how should We treat you?"
Kongtong Frost Snow was now also fortunate, fortunate that she had returned a hundred years ago and had the ability to directly uproot the Demon Path forces that had taken root in the dynasty in her previous life!
And the Left Prime Minister.
He was originally struggling fiercely.
But after hearing the words spoken by this woman, his face visibly turned pale.
"Drag him out, execute him outside the hall!"
"No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty spare my life!"
The Left Prime Minister trembled all over.
He originally thought this was an ordinary morning court, how could he have expected that today would be the day of his execution!
No matter how the Left Prime Minister shouted, he could only be dragged further and further away by the guards.
The surrounding officials saw this scene, shrinking their necks in fear, appearing silent.
"The remaining nine who colluded with the Left Prime Minister, do you need Us to personally invite you out?"
Kongtong Frost Snow's indifferent voice slowly came out.
Many people in the crowd swallowed their saliva.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, several people in the crowd shot out from their original positions and ran towards the outside of the hall!
However.
Just as these people were about to escape outside the hall, balls of Fire instantly exploded and burned within their bodies!
"Ah! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't do anything, I just said I needed to consider the Left Prime Minister's proposal, I haven't done anything yet!"
An official whose body was burning with Fire cried out loudly.
His dying words did not cause Kongtong Frost Snow to even lift an eyelid.
By the time the crying subsided, there were only nine piles of ashes left on the ground.
And outside the hall, a clear smell of blood drifted in, indicating that the Left Prime Minister's head had fallen.
"In this dynasty, no one can disobey Us! Anyone who harbors improper thoughts will have a worse end than what you see now!"
As Kongtong Frost Snow spoke, her gaze swept across, and the officials, like rabbits seeing a tiger, cowered incessantly.
"Morning court adjourned!"
"Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"
Below, the aged Right Prime Minister's Adam's apple twitched slightly as he bowed.
"Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"
The officials below also seemed relieved, their voices rising one by one.
These people, if taken out individually, would be considered Zong Lao or even Old Ancestor level figures in the Cultivation world, but facing Kongtong Frost Snow, they had no temper at all.
Golden Dragon Palace.
After the morning court, Kongtong Frost Snow came to this place in the Imperial Palace.
Looking at the familiar yet slightly strange hall before her, Kongtong Frost Snow was a little dazed under the impact of the memories in her mind.
"Shuangxue, look, this is the sandalwood I refined for you, it has the effect of nourishing the spirit, calming the mind, and even helping with Cultivation. I know you don't lack anything, there are things better than this everywhere, but this sandalwood is my unique skill, refined for several months, there is only one in the world!"
"You are Our Husband, not Father, calling Us Kongtong is acceptable, as for this sandalwood, the smell is indeed good, but We don't need it."
In her memory, she left the Golden Dragon Palace after saying this.
Lin Yun wanted to chase after her but was stopped by the guards outside the door.
"Since you never had any feelings for me, why did you still keep me under house arrest here? Let me leave, we can each be well, isn't that possible?!"
The man in her memory, his passion, as time passed, became indifferent, and then came the first time he questioned her with a raised tone.
"You are Our Husband, the Golden Dragon Palace is your residence."
"This is not a residence, this is a prison! I have never been your Husband either, I am just a tool in your eyes used to deceive the world!"
Her past self in the memory.
Hearing that someone in the world would speak to her in such a tone, she smiled coldly and looked at the man: "Your self-awareness is quite clear, you are just a tool."
And upon hearing this sentence, visibly, that man seemed to have his soul extracted, becoming spiritless.
Recalling this scene, Kongtong Frost Snow closed her eyes and sighed deeply.
In fact, in her previous life, she herself didn't understand why she had kept Lin Yun under house arrest for so long.
For a long time, she thought it was just a perverse interest of hers.
It wasn't until the moment she was dying in her previous life, seeing Lin Yun die for her, that she suddenly realized.
In fact, she had always loved this man, it was just that she didn't dare to love too deeply, her arrogance prevented her from admitting that she liked such a weak fellow.
And being in a high position, she had no trust in anyone around her, especially the person in the position of spouse.
She used a hundred years to test that man.
Looking back, there was only a sigh of lament.
But now, everything was possible to redeem, she would not let the situation of her previous life repeat itself!
Standing outside the hall, the woman wearing the Phoenix robe did not enter the hall.
Looking at the Eunuch beside her: "Send someone to monitor the Lin Yun We saw in the Dan Sect yesterday, everything about him, no matter how small, must be reported to Us."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Eunuch received the order and withdrew to make arrangements.
And within a short while, the chief Eunuch returned with a piece of news.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest situation of that Lin Yun."
A letter was presented and placed before Kongtong Frost Snow.
Looking at the letter, the woman raised her eyebrows slightly and took it.
However.
When the information on it came into view, a terrifying pressure slowly permeated as her emotions fluctuated!
"Punish Lin Yun? Who gave the Dan Sect the guts?!"
