The emperor had not listened and only favored Nalan Yan.

At that time, many people had prejudices against Nalan Yan.

Especially those who sent their own girls to the harem. The emperor neglected the girls and left them alone after they entered the palace. Naturally, the blame fell on Nalan Yan who was accused of seducing the emperor.

Until Nalan Yan's death…

Numerous people suddenly realized Empress Nalan's importance to this country!

With her, Liu Yun Kingdom never had to worry about the enemies' invasion.

“All ministers pay respect to the empress!”

The ministers kneeled down and their voices were high with obvious excitement.

Nalan Yan spoke calmly, “I heard that Liu Yun Kingdom was in dire straits some time ago. I am impressed that many ministers were involved in this matter. However, it seems that there are many ministers who went missing. What about them? Did they sacrifice heroically?”

Nalan Zhangqian sneered and slowly moved forward. “As to inform you, my empress. Those who are greedy and afraid of death forced me to punish the princess not long ago. They were already sent to the border. But the group of people had escaped when the border was in crisis. Some were killed while they were escaping.”

Feng Tianyu frowned. He had almost forgotten the group of people who were sent to the border if Yan'er had not mentioned it.

It seemed that he had made the right decision. If those people remained at the imperial court, there might be another traitor like Liu Yunxiao!

“Oh. That was indeed a great decision. How dare anyone touches my daughter?” Nalan Yan sneered, “In addition, Qing'er gave me some spirit wine before I came here. I want to reward them to the heroes. By the way, who did not partic.i.p.ate in the war?”

The ministers looked at one another, then…

It seemed like everyone had discussed it in advance. They all moved two steps to the side.

Only Chancellor Liu was standing in the middle of the entire court, like a deer caught in the headlight.

“It seems that there is only one person who is afraid of death.” Nalan Yan slightly smiled. “However, Liu Yun Kingdom is not ruthless. Being afraid of death is not wrong. I will not blame you for this. But… Tianyu, you cannot use this person in the future. If he is in danger, he will run away. He will cause trouble.”

Feng Tianyu calmly looked at Chancellor Liu.

As a matter of fact, Chancellor Liu had served the kingdom heartily in the past. He was still not the chancellor at that time.

Now… maybe he was used to enjoying and just being in a high position. As time pa.s.sed, he became greedy and was afraid of death. He was also weak and incompetent.

Chancellor Liu felt very embarra.s.sed.

He thought everyone would be greedy and was afraid of death. Why was he the only one standing there now?

“I shall let it pa.s.s. However, I will need to deal with another matter.” Nalan Yan was swift and fierce. “Where is Chancellor Liu?”

Chancellor Liu did not speak.

He was so scared that he almost cried, and his legs were shaking.

Nalan Yan did not see any movement in the crowd. She frowned. “Chancellor Liu, don't you hear me calling you out?”

Chancellor Liu's lips trembled as he said, “Your Majesty, Empress…”

“Silence!” Nalan Yan shouted. “I want to talk to Chancellor Liu; not a weak and incompetent person like you. You are not allowed to speak!”

Chancellor Liu still did not speak

“Ahem, ahem.” Feng Tianyu cleared his throat. He then said awkwardly, “Yan'er, he is Chancellor Liu.”
