And behind them, the royal nobles finally snapped out of their daze.
“Murder! King Qin killed The emperor!”
“The Emperor has passed away! Men, quickly come and take down King Qin, this traitor!”
As they shouted, they hid behind the guards.
However, the military power in this world belonged to Qin Yunchuan. In front of Qin Yunchuan, without his orders, which guards would listen to the nobles and ministers and attack Qin Yunchuan?
They shouted in a bluff. Then they realized that no matter how they gave their orders, the usually obedient guards did not encircle Qin Yunchuan.
The silver spear tips were all aimed at the nobles and officials behind them.
They were stunned. Then, everyone fled frantically. No one wanted to be the next person to die.
The guards approached step by step. Without Qin Yunchuan’s orders, no one would be able to walk out of here.
The officials were like forced monkeys. They were surrounded by the guards. They held their heads and crouched together, trembling as they waited for Qin Yunchuan’s punishment.

After a long time, they parted lips with Xia Ling.
Qin Yunchuan glanced at the people beside him from the corner of his eyes. His eyes were somewhat cold.
A smile finally appeared on his lips, but it did not reach his deep eyes.
He touched Xia Ling’s face and asked her,
“Qinghe, how do you think these people should be dealt with?”
These people who were in cahoots with Fan Xi were birds of a feather; Qin Yunchuan had really underestimated them. They even dared to touch his people.
It seemed that not only in the royal residence, but also in the imperial court, Qin Yunchuan’s fierce reputation had faded away. These people had forgotten the bloody past.
However, all of this did not matter. Although they had forgotten, Qin Yunchuan did not mind replaying it for them!

Xia Ling looked at Qin Yunchuan and then at the trembling nobles.
They used to be so cold when she was being taken advantage of by Fan Xi. Now, they were hiding together and looking at her face while shivering. It was despicable.
“Kill them!” Xia Ling opened her lips and said indifferently.
For these people, living was a waste. It would only make this world even dirtier.
Kill them? Sure. It suited him very much.
Qin Yunchuan’s voice was deep as he replied, “Alright.”

When the conversation between the girl and Qin Yunchuan ended, the faces of the nobles who were trembling in the corner turned pale.
Those pleading eyes were filled with despair.
They really wanted to beg Qin Yunchuan and the girl to let them go, but they knew Qin Yunchuan’s temper even better.
The more they begged him to let them go, the more miserable their deaths would be. Weren’t those people back then like this?
Xia Ling’s eyes flashed when she sensed the gloomy atmosphere.
She swept her indifferent gaze across the nobles and her tone was somewhat vile.
“However, there’s no need to kill all of them.”
“You can kill those useless ones. Those who are useful can stay and assist the new emperor in ascending the throne in the future.”
Qin Yunchuan pricked up his brows.
“What do you mean by useful?”
Xia Ling’s eyes flashed as she watched these people being toyed with by her. Her expression suddenly turned ecstatic and she suddenly fell to the bottom of despair. She had had enough of just a casual remark.
She shot a glance at Qin Yunchuan.
“Of course. If you think he’s useful, he’s useful. If you think he’s useless, then drag him out and kill him!”
“Good Qinghe. I didn’t realize that your personality really suits my taste.” Qin Yunchuan’s eyes flashed slightly.
The girl in front of him wore a luxurious phoenix coronet and gown. She was cold and otherworldly.
However, Qin Yunchuan could sense something different from the way she spoke.
