Chapter 1554 The Law of Killing

Nangong Yi was escorted out of the palace by the sundial beside Lianyi. She did not return to the Nangong family, nor did she go to Lianyi's place in the capital. Instead, she was sent to a farm outside the capital.

Lianyi's original words were:

"Mother, don't stay in the capital for the time being. Father may take advantage of this incident to attack the Nangong family. If you return to the Nangong family, you will be implicated.

If you stay in the capital, it is easy for the Nangong family to come to your door, and you will not be able to deal with it. Instead, it will anger the father. It is better to stay away from the place of right and wrong. When everything is settled, your daughter will take you back."

Nangong Yi knew that her daughter was right, so she left the palace with the sundial, but she didn't know that she would never be able to return to the capital in this life, and she didn't even have the opportunity to perform her various schemes.

Lianyi is not stupid, and she will not add another big Buddha on her head. After Emperor Qian passed away, she was the only one in power, so she tricked Nangong Yi to leave early.

Whenever Nangong Yi asked to go back to the capital, the servants would actively pack their luggage, but they were unable to go every time.

Nangong Yi herself either broke her leg or caught a cold. The only time she left the manor, she met robbers halfway, who robbed all their things and almost killed her. She was saved by the people sent by Lianyi to protect her.

Since then, Nangong Yi finally understood that she would never be able to become the empress dowager admired by everyone in her life. Her daughter would not allow it, and she herself had no ability. Since then, she has been depressed and died of illness within three years.

Qian Zhaoning is smarter than his mother. After Lianyi became the empress, he knew that he would never be able to return to the capital in his life, so he stayed at the imperial mausoleum to forgive his mother's sins until his mother died. He only hurriedly attended the funeral and returned to the imperial mausoleum.

Of course, this is all later. Now Lianyi sent her mother away and went to see her brother who was about to set off for the imperial mausoleum.

"Ning'er, are you ready?"

"All ready."

Qian Zhaoning looked at his sister who was becoming more and more beautiful, and regretted letting her go to Luopan Country for him. If he had been the hostage, would the result be different? Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

"Ning'er, do you blame your sister?"

Lianyi asked softly.

"No, it was because my mother didn't hold the bottom line, and I couldn't stop her, so things came to this point.

These ten years have made me see very clearly that if my father had guided me for a few more years, maybe I could have held that position, but I would only be defending the city.

But my father has no time. What Daqian needs now is a strong leader, and my sister has already done it in Luopan Country. You come back just to do the same thing in a different place. I believe you will do better."

Lianyi smiled after hearing what the other party said. The other party was incompetent but very self-aware, and she would not embarrass her brother for this reason.

"Go! Sister will call you back when the time is right."

"Thank you, sister."

Qian Zhaoning did not even attend Lianyi's succession ceremony, and left the palace with his family and wife.

Ever since Emperor Qian accompanied Lianyi to court, he gradually became familiar with Lianyi's style of handling political affairs. Ten days later, he stopped accompanying her. He had nothing to teach his daughter, because his daughter did better than him.

After Lianyi went to court independently, she used Duoduo's intelligence network to clear out the incompetent people in the court one by one.

None of these people were clean. She would give some respect to those who were willing to resign on their own. For those who insisted on fighting to the end, Lianyi would specifically poke the opponent's vital points and remove the obstacles as quickly as possible. She also promoted a group of capable and honest officials from poor families, so that all the poor students in Daqian saw hope.

Lianyi's methods were too ruthless, so fast, accurate and ruthless that those noble families didn't even have the chance to unite and cause trouble. Of course, there were also noble families who believed that they had been passed down for a hundred years and were unwilling to bow to Lianyi. They were ready to embarrass the first female emperor of Daqian and conspired to cause trouble on the day when the female emperor ascended the throne.

Duoduo's intelligence network was running at high speed, and she could receive thousands of messages from all directions every day. She could always filter out useful messages at the fastest speed and tell Lianyi the important news as soon as possible.

"Master, they are ready to make trouble. Should we take action?"

"Of course, I am not a soft persimmon."

Lianyi summoned Sundial and Anjia to see her, handed them a list, and said coldly:

"Duoduo received news that these people have been planning for a long time to rebel against me on the day I ascend the throne. I want to see their heads tomorrow morning."

After reading the list in their hands, Sundial and Anjia looked stern, because it included the children of the most prominent families in the entire capital.

"Your Majesty, if all these people get into trouble, will it cause a backlash? This will affect your ascension to the throne."

Lianyi said coldly:

"You are all martial artists, you should know the principle that one force can defeat ten skills. I only killed the culprit and did not involve the family. I have given them face."

"It is my subordinate who is too talkative."

Sundial knew Lianyi's work style and did not dare to persuade him again. He immediately bowed and accepted the task.

Lianyi stroked the pattern on the throne gown and said lightly:

"Duoduo will help you cover in secret. You'd better not alert the family of the target. If you do, you should be prepared to kill their entire family, and I will also judge that your mission has failed."

"Yes!"

The two responded in unison. After leaving the bedroom, they looked at each other and acted separately.

There has been a curfew in the city for the past month. When the sun is at its zenith, the entire capital falls into a dead silence, so quiet that the night watchmen are a little scared. Shadows fall into different mansions one after another, and leave quietly half a quarter of an hour later.

The next day, after Lianyi had breakfast, Sundial and Anjia came to report.

"Your Majesty, the mission has been completed."

"Your Majesty, no one was alarmed."

Lianyi nodded with satisfaction and ordered directly:

"The bodies have been burned and the ashes are buried deep. I want them to die without any evidence."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the two left, Lianyi put on the heavy coronation dress with the help of Yuejue and Yuelang, and was supported by the two to go to the hall.

Emperor Qian didn't know what Lianyi had ordered people to do last night. He dragged his wounded body to complete the succession process, personally put the crown on Lianyi's head, and then watched Lianyi lead the officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. He returned to the palace with the help of Laifu.

On this day, some people who were ready to watch the show did not see the good show of the empress. Instead, they learned that their beloved descendants were missing after returning home, which diverted their attention for a while.

Emperor Qian learned about Lianyi's actions from Anjia. He was not sure whether to scold or praise her for a long time. After all, he lacked some courage.

After Lianyi changed into his daily clothes, he came to have dinner with the emperor.

"Anping, killing can't solve all problems."

"I know, but it can solve most problems. Now I need them to obey orders quietly. After I complete the merger of Luopan and Daqian, I will settle accounts with them. Do you think that the rebellion failed and you can pretend that it didn't happen?" (End of this chapter)
