At the same time, Meng Yao and Jiang Jinyan disguised themselves as guards and easily entered the King of Nan's bedroom. Before the guards at the door could yell at them, Jiang Jinyan directly killed them.

At this time, the palace of the Southern Kingdom was filled with smoke and chaos. Most of the servants in the palace had been replaced by the eldest prince and the queen dowager's people. However, because the banquet hall had become lively and lively, it also attracted many servants to watch.

Meng Yao entered the bedroom. There was no one guarding inside. He saw the Southern Prince paralyzed on the bed. When he saw his youngest son, he shed tears of excitement and said with great difficulty: "Yao... Yao'er..."

Meng Yao held his hand and saw that his hair had turned white and his face looked even more haggard. "Father, what happened to you? How did you become like this? How could they be so cruel? You are also their father!"

Prince Nan couldn't make a sound and couldn't move his whole body. He had been tortured to the point where he was no longer a human. He held on until now just to see Meng Yao for the last time.

"Yao...Yao'er." He pointed to the direction of his throat.

Only then did Jiang Jinyan see that there was a needle inserted under Prince Nan's throat.

He bravely helped him remove the needle, and the King of the South was able to catch his breath, "Yao'er."

"Father, I'm here." Meng Yao shed tears, "I'm sorry, Father, it's all my fault. I was wrong."

King Nan shook his head and said with all his strength: "Meng Ang is not my prince. He is the illegitimate offspring of the Queen's affair with someone else..."

It was the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince who made the King of the South like this.

King Nan stared at Jiang Jinyan, his face full of confusion, "Who are you?"

Jiang Jinyan took the initiative to explain, "Don't worry, King Nan, we are here to help you. I am an official of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The official you sent to the Great Zhou Kingdom for help has been assassinated by Meng Ang, but the murderer has also been caught by my Great Zhou Kingdom. When the time comes, we will send the murderer to your ministers to expose Meng Ang."

The eyes of the Southern King became excited, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, his lips trembling, "Greetings to the Emperor of the Great Zhou on my behalf. The Meng family has guarded the border for a hundred years and has lived up to their mission."

"Don't worry, King Nan. The Emperor knows that you have made an invaluable contribution, and he has specially sent ministers here to help the Southern Kingdom overcome this crisis." Jiang Jinyan had not expected that the Meng family had always been determined to submit to the Great Zhou.

In the banquet hall.

Jiang Fenghua danced a dance, then played a song on the pipa. Next, she challenged herself to play various musical instruments alone. The scene was so spectacular that everyone in the Southern Palace came to watch.

Everyone was talking about it, "This woman is not only stunningly beautiful, but also extremely talented. She can play all kinds of musical instruments."

Jiang Fenghua herself was dumbfounded. She had no skills, but when she touched the instrument, she could use it unconsciously. The scenes in her mind appeared like surging waves with her every move.

Xie Shang was also dumbfounded. He only knew that Jiang Fenghua could dance and perform martial arts. In her previous life, she was indeed good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, but she had very little knowledge of dance and musical instruments. It was obvious that she had spent ten years learning these.

In order to get revenge and win his favor, she made so much effort and suffered so much.

Jiang Fenghua is smart, but her identity as queen requires her to abide by the rules. At this moment, she is completely different from the dignified and gentle woman in Xie Shang's mind. She has an extraordinary temperament, is confident and bright, so radiant and fascinating.

As more and more people watched, Meng Li almost fell to his knees. He even wanted to snatch her away urgently.

Ever since he saw her that day, he has been thinking about her all the time.

At this moment, a soldier rushed over from outside the door, squeezing through the crowd and saying, "My Queen, Prince, Prince Yun has brought his men into the palace."

However, it was not known whether the soldier's voice was not loud enough, or Jiang Fenghua's piano music was too mesmerizing, so the eldest prince did not hear it at all.

The Queen Dowager heard the soldier's voice and said coldly, "Stop playing."

Jiang Fenghua seemed to be absorbed in it, and his fingers kept moving. The Queen Mother was so angry that she threw a tea bowl in Jiang Fenghua's direction, "Stop."

The strings in Jiang Fenghua's hand suddenly broke, and the sound stopped abruptly. A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she pulled out the big knife hidden under the zither and put it directly on Meng Li's neck, smiling and saying: "The Fourth Prince is so fascinated by my zither skills, he must like them!"

The knife was secretly put in by Lin Yu when she disguised herself as a maid and went to get the musical instrument. Fortunately, Meng Yao was not a fool. He told them that his sword was in Concubine Shen's palace, and it was also their only weapon at the moment.

Meng Li was stunned for a moment. He still hadn't reacted to the fact that the beauty in front of him would put a knife on his neck. By the time he reacted, it was too late.

At the same time, Xie Shang suddenly knocked the table in front of him away and rushed towards Meng Ang.

His lightness skills were extraordinary and so fast that it was dazzling. Meng Ang also fell into Xie Shang's hands. Since Prince Yun had brought his men into the palace, it was time to take action.

The Meng brothers' lifeblood was suddenly grasped by someone, and the whole process was as incredible as a drama.

Meng Ang even asked, "Who are you?"

Meng Li almost cried out, "Yes, who are you?"

At this time, the eldest prince's men also came up with weapons to attack.

Meng Ang added: "You can't run away. The entire palace is ours. You two can't escape the palace..."

"Who said there were only two of them? Meng Ang, Meng Li, you plotted to murder our father. What crime should you be punished for?" Meng Yao, Jiang Jinyan, and Lin Yu also appeared outside the hall.

Meng Ang finally realized what was happening. “No wonder I couldn’t find you after searching the entire city. It turns out they are your helpers. That idiot Meng Li actually sent you to the inn to protect you.”

He didn't want to ask Meng Yao now, so he just asked Xie Shang, "Who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary businessman. My wife just wanted to take care of the affairs of the Southern Kingdom, so I cooperated with her and did a good deed to eliminate violence and protect the good." Xie Shang was also fascinated by Jiang Fenghua now. "I only follow my wife's instructions. It has nothing to do with me."

The people who went to rescue Prince Yun and helped Prince Yun break into the palace were all Xie Shang's people.

They just waited for Meng Ang's men to besiege them, and they didn't know what to do because their master's life force was in someone's hands.

Meng Ang said: "The entire palace belongs to me, and my father is still in my hands. Meng Yao, if you want my father to die, let them do it."

"Humph, do you think I would be standing here if I hadn't rescued my father?" Meng Yao added, "I am here to capture you, the traitor, on my father's orders."

Meng Yao said to the soldiers who were besieging him: "Meng Ang is not a prince at all. He is the illegitimate offspring of the Queen Mother and Yan Jun. Do you still want to help him rebel? Put down your weapons, and I can spare your lives."

He took out his father's decree of succession and said, "My father has passed the throne to me."

Everyone looked at each other, still not knowing what to do.

A war without gunpowder ended before it even began.

When everything was settled, Jiang Fenghua asked, "Where is the jeweler named Song Peng?"

At this time, Song Peng had already changed his clothes and left the palace.
