Nangong Yi was finally escorted out of the palace by the sundial beside Lianyi. He neither returned to Nangong's home nor went to Lianyi's place in the capital. Instead, he was sent to a farm outside the capital.

Lianyi’s original words are:

"Mother, please don't stay in the capital for the time being. I'm afraid that my father will 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 will be easy for the Nangong family to come to your door, and you won't be able to deal with it. Instead, it will anger your father. It is better to stay away from trouble. When everything is settled, your daughter will take you back. "

Nangong Yi knew that what her daughter said made sense, so she left the palace with the sundial. However, she didn't know that she would never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime, and she would not even have the chance to carry out her plans.

Lianyi is not stupid and will not put another big Buddha above her head. After Emperor Qian passed away, she was the only one in power, so she tricked Nangong Yi into leaving early.

Whenever Nangong Yi proposed to return to the capital, the servants would actively pack their luggage, but he was never able to make the trip.

Nangong Yi herself either broke her leg or caught a cold. The only time she left the manor, she encountered robbers halfway there. They robbed her of all her belongings and almost killed her. She was rescued by the people Lianyi sent to protect her.

From then on, Nangong Yi finally realized 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 did not have the ability. She became depressed from then on and died of illness within three years.

Qian Zhaoning was smarter than his mother. After Lianyi became the empress, he knew that he would never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime, so he stayed at the imperial mausoleum quietly to atone for his mother's sins. Until his mother passed away, he only hurriedly attended the funeral and then returned to the imperial mausoleum.

Of course, this is all a story for the future. Now Lianyi saw her mother off and went to see her younger brother who was about to set off for the imperial tomb.

"Ning'er, are you ready?"

"Everything is ready."

Qian Zhaoning looked at his sister who was becoming more and more beautiful, and regretted letting his sister go to Luopan Kingdom instead of him. If he had been the hostage, would the result have been different? Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

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

Ripple asked softly.

“No, it was because my mother didn’t stick to her bottom line and I couldn’t stop her that things came to this.

The past ten years have shown me very clearly that if my father had guided me for a few more years, perhaps I would have been able to hold that position securely, but I would only be able to defend the city.

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

Lianyi smiled slightly after hearing what the other party said. Although the other party was incapable, he was very self-aware. For this reason, she would not make things difficult for her younger brother.

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

"Thank you, Princess."

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

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

After Lianyi came 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, and for those who insisted on fighting to the end, Lianyi would hit their 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 the poor students in Daqian saw hope.

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

Duoduo's intelligence network is running at high speed. She receives thousands of messages from all directions every day. She can always filter out useful messages as quickly as possible and tell Lianyi the important messages as soon as possible. "Master, they are preparing to cause trouble. Should we take action?"

"Of course, I'm not a pushover."

Lianyi summoned Sundial and Dark Armor to meet her, handed them a list, and said coldly:

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

After looking through the list in their hands, Ridui and Anjia both looked shocked, because it included the children of the most prominent families in the entire capital.

"Your Majesty, if something happens to all these people, will it cause a backlash? This will affect your accession to the throne."

Lian Yi said coldly:
"You are all martial artists, and you should know that strength can defeat skill. I only killed the culprit and did not involve the aristocratic family. I have already given them face."

"It's my subordinate who talks too much."

Ridi understood Lianyi's working style and did not dare to persuade her anymore. He immediately accepted the task.

Lianyi stroked the pattern on the coronation dress and said lightly:
"Duoduo will help you cover in secret. You'd better not alert the family of the target. If you do, be prepared to annihilate their entire family, and I will also judge that you have failed your mission."

"Yes!"

The two of them responded at the same time, and after leaving the bedroom, they looked at each other and then went their separate ways.

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 even the night watchmen are a little scared. Black shadows fall into different mansions and leave quietly after half a minute.

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

"Your Majesty, the mission has been accomplished."

"Your Majesty, no one was alarmed."

Lian Yi nodded in satisfaction and gave the order directly:
"The bodies have been burned and the ashes buried deep. I want them dead 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 through the succession process, personally placed the crown on Lianyi's head, and then watched Lianyi lead all the officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. Only then did he return to his bedroom with the support of Lai Fu.

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

Emperor Qian learned about Lianyi's actions from Anjia. He was confused for a long time as to whether to scold or praise her. After all, he lacked some courage.

After Lianyi changed into her casual clothes, she came to have dinner with the emperor.

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

"I know, but it can solve most of the 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 nothing happened?" (End of this chapter)
