The whole family traveled through time and became the wronged species, collectively going crazy and

"Everyone has his own destiny. As the bloodline of the Shangguan family, it is not my intention to destroy the Shangguan family.

It was your father who was too ruthless and deprived me of the power.

This palace is now acting out of necessity."

Shangguan Hong was disgusted.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. The Song family is rebelling, and you, as Song Mian's biological mother, are instigating your own son to rebel.

Now the lives of all of you are in my hands.

You know what I want. If you hand over that thing, I can promise to spare one of your lives."

Feiyun and Jiasi went to the Song Mansion. In addition to inviting the eldest princess, they also brought all the Song family members, young and old, into the palace.

At this time, all the members of the Song family were kneeling outside the hall.

Occasionally, the suppressed cries of women and children can be heard.

"Hong'er still speaks so directly."

The eldest princess was not embarrassed and took out a piece of yellow cloth from her bosom.

There was a round object wrapped in the yellow cloth.

The eldest princess slowly unfolded the yellow cloth, revealing what was inside.

The moment Qin Jingnian saw that thing, his eyes lit up.

Qin Wan raised her eyebrows slightly. Such a rich spiritual energy. This thing must be a spiritual weapon.

"I have already brought what Hong'er wanted. Can you save the lives of the entire Hexi Prefecture?"

"Haha..." Shangguan Hong laughed and mocked mercilessly:

"You are so shameless, even if I kill you, I can still get what you have.

But you greedily used this thing to save the life of the entire Hexi Prefecture! My aunt thought I was too tolerant.

I tell you the truth, you and the two people outside can only protect one side of the thing in your hand, so you can choose for yourself."

The eldest princess's proud expression, which she had maintained since entering the palace, finally showed a hint of relaxation.

She sighed deeply and asked in an almost pleading tone:

"Hong'er, I am your aunt after all. One of them is your uncle and the other is your cousin. Can't you spare their lives for the sake of your aunt?"

"What a joke! When your good son bombarded the imperial mausoleum and disturbed the peace of my Shangguan ancestors, why didn't you, his aunt, step in to stop him?

When your good son proclaimed himself emperor and attempted to seize the throne of my Shangguan family, why didn't you, his aunt, step forward to stop him?

Now that the Song family has been defeated, you are using your status as an old lady to plead for the rebels. This is simply ridiculous!

I will ask you one last time, whose life are you saving with the thing in your hand?"

The palace door was not closed, and the Song family members outside the palace could hear clearly the conversation between the emperor and the eldest princess in the palace.

I heard the emperor asked the princess to save someone’s life.

From Song Mian's uncles and aunts to the five or six-year-old children, all the people in the Song family cried and begged the princess to save their lives.

The distance was quite far, and Shangguan Hong felt that the sound of the Song family's crying was not clear enough.

He gave Jia Si a wink.

Jia Si waved his hand, and his men waiting outside the hall immediately escorted the Song family into the hall.

Even the iron cage was carried into the hall.

Shangguan Hong wanted to see out of evil interest how this arrogant old lady would decide.

Song Mian's grandson: "Grandma, save me, I don't want to die."

Uncle Song Mian: "Sister-in-law, please save me. The emperor will not let the direct descendants of the Song family survive. I am from the collateral branch of the Song family. Only if I survive, the bloodline of the Song family will not be cut off."

Mrs. Song Mian: "Mother, please save your daughter-in-law. She has been married to the Song family for so many years and has given birth to children for the Song family. She has never done anything to let the Song family down. Please give her a chance to live."

Song Mian's daughter-in-law: "Wuwuwu, I'm still young, I don't want to die, wuwuwu..."

There were cries and shouts one after another.

The eldest princess's elegant look was long gone, and her face was full of gloom.

Shangguan Hong did it on purpose to kill her and break her heart. He did it on purpose to make her feel embarrassed and uncomfortable!

Bang bang bang!

Amid the cries and shouts, the sound of an iron cage banging suddenly was heard.

Then came Song Mian’s roar:

"Shut up, everyone!"

Everyone's crying and shouting stopped for a moment, and they all looked at Song Mian.

At this moment, the Song family members looked at Song Mian not as if they were the head of the family, but as if they were looking at an enemy.

Song Mian swept his vicious eyes over these people one by one.

"A bunch of snobs who can only share the good times but not the bad times, are you my relatives?

I can still vividly remember your fawning faces when I became emperor a few days ago.

Now everyone is eager to protect themselves? It's really embarrassing for the Song family!"

Faced with Song Mian's merciless rebuke, the Song family members lowered their eyes in embarrassment and dared not look at him.

The eldest princess looked at her son with satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Song Mian said:

"Mother, when disaster strikes, everyone flees. This is the true face of the family we have been protecting. Did you see it?

Mother, this group of people are not worth your precious things to save their lives. It is better for you to save your son.

My son is my only son. You can't bear to watch your only son die, right?"

Song Mian looked at the princess pleadingly, with tears in his tone.

The eldest princess's relieved expression froze on her face.

"No, no, grandma, I am your only legitimate grandson. You have to protect me, grandma. I don't want to die, wuwuwu."

Song Huaimin in the iron cage was unwilling to be outdone.

Song Mian was so angry that he pushed him away.

"Get out of here, you unfilial son. I am your father. If you are filial, you should leave the chance of survival to me."

"You're almost dead, what's the point of being filial! Dad has lived enough, but your son is still young and hasn't lived enough!"

“You, you…”

The father and son in the iron cage started arguing.

For a chance to survive.

The Song family members who had been quiet outside the iron cage started quarreling again.

The princess watched her son, grandson, daughter-in-law, and brother-in-law quarreling and even fighting with each other...

His eyes were full of disappointment.

Among so many people, no one asked her to save her life.

What a filial son and grandson.

Shangguan Jiao was proud all her life, but in the end she ended up being deserted by everyone.

Okay, really good!

If she had known this would happen, she should have been a well-off princess.

Why get involved in the vortex of power!

The eldest princess has pursued power all her life, but now she regrets it.

“Hahahahahaha…hahahaha…”

The eldest princess suddenly threw her head back and laughed, her laughter full of madness.

The Song family was frightened by her laughter and the quarrel stopped abruptly.

Everyone looked at the eldest princess who was laughing crazily.

Tears oozed from the corners of the eldest princess' eyes as she laughed. When she had laughed enough, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked up at Shangguan Hong again.

"You want me to know that the power I have pursued my whole life is in vain, and even the family affection that is within my reach is in vain.

Shangguan Hong, you are worthy of being the son of Shangguan Shang. I admit that you have succeeded!

Hahaha……."

Shangguan Hong spoke expressionlessly:

"So, have you thought about it, Auntie? Whose life do you want to save with the thing in your hand?"

"Of course it's Bao Bengong himself."

The princess said without hesitation.

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Great grandmother!"
