the underworld or had she truly been lucky enough to surviveShe remembered it clearly. After she was seriously injured, she was pushed off a cliff thousands of meters high by the person she trusted m...By imperial decree, Heaven's mandate is hereby bestowed upon the Empress of the Northern Border. The Princess, both martial and scholarly, possessing grace and wisdom, has made great contributions in defeating the Great Yue nation. Therefore, tomorrow morning at court, she shall accompany the King of the Northern Border to receive rewards for her service. So it is decreed.

"...."

Upon hearing the contents of this imperial edict, An Xuetang's lips twitched. This emperor was truly as stingy as she had imagined!

He didn't directly bestow rewards upon her, insisting she first present herself before him before granting her grand gifts. Wasn't that just to see how capable she truly was

Then, she would surely not disappoint him.

Mo Yunjing glanced at Yun Si, and Yun Si took the imperial edict from that official's hand.

Chen Gonggong pursed his lips. The King and Queen of Beijang were right here, this imperial decree should be received by these two, no matter what, it was not this Yun Si's turn.

The fact that King Beijīng allowed this "servant" to pick him up is clearly a sign of disrespect towards the Emperor.

"Grand Chamberlain Chen, it's time for you to leave!"

"...."

Before Chen Gong could utter any polite phrases, Yun Si coldly said a sentence, instantly making the atmosphere extremely awkward!

However, Yun Si's tone was laced with killing intent. Chen Gonggong, that old fox, naturally understood, so he bowed repeatedly and backed away, turning to leave without hesitation. He didn't dare to linger; his life was precious!s, and spoke in a sinister tone:“Even if someone really forced you to tell them the exact location of the base and give them a map of the terrain, you would give it to them. But what about the formati...
