At this moment, countless old ministers of King Roscolin III walked out of the death row in an imposing manner.
The two high-ranking ministers, Flendor and Brad, followed closely beside King Roscollin III.
Just a moment ago, King Roscolin III had even ordered the burial of Punk and the recall of the Great Wizard Jack Ma from the border.
“Your Majesty, may I know who this young brother is?”
Flendor asked.
“Oh, this young brother is the husband of the Ninth Princess, my son-in-law, Mike. It’s also him who saved me and the entire Lieluo Empire!”
After hearing this, Flendor and Brad looked at Mike respectfully.
“A true hero is born from a young man! With such incredible abilities, if this young brother can serve the Lieluo Empire, it would be my fortune!”
Brad said.
Mike waved his hand and said, “Thank you for your kindness, General, but I’m still studying at Yogmo Academy. I’m afraid…”
Seeing that Mike was somewhat evasive, Brad did not continue to ask him anything.
At this time, Lansi suddenly thought of something and said to King Roscolin III.
“Father, since this palace is full of the Fierce Beast Hunting Union’s henchmen and rebels, who was the person who sent this letter to me?”
Lansi brought out the letter that had led her here.
“Could it have been the Queen?”
Mike said.
When King Roscolin III heard mention of the Queen, he was even angrier.
“This poisonous woman! How could she be the one who sent the letter to the Ninth Princess?
“When we get to the palace, Mike, you and the Ninth Princess will follow me to the harem! I want to clean up the poisonous women who caused me to be like this!”
“Yes!”
Mike and Lansi said in unison.
Because there were so many old ministers, there were many things that he wanted to share with them over the years.
Thus, King Roscolin III did not take a carriage. Instead, he walked with everyone without any airs.
“Why exactly did my Prime Minister Reg die?”
King Roscolin III asked.
Hearing the King’s question, Flendor explained.
“After the first prince took power, Prime Minister Reg strongly opposed the first prince and many of his henchmen’s acts of extravagance and debauchery. The second prince, who was in charge of wealth, set up a scheme to frame and slander Prime Minister Reg. In the end, he died from a car crash.”
King Roscolin III was very angry after hearing this and said, “These kids really turned the sky upside down!”
“However, I remember that Reg seemed to have another son. Do you know where his son is now?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“Your Majesty, on the day that Prime Minister Reg died, all his family members were killed by the second prince. I’m afraid…”
Hearing this, King Roscolin III said in a low voice.
“Let’s go back to the palace first. Tomorrow, we’ll settle all the old and new scores with them.”
…
After returning to the palace, King Roscolin III arranged for all the old ministers to be placed in the side rooms in the backyard of the palace.
He told them to wash up and change first.
He took Mike and Lansi to the harem.
The palace was now in full lockdown.
All the guards and servants had been changed.
The whole palace was so tightly guarded that not even a fly could fly in.
The three of them came to the harem.
At this time, the harem was dead silent.
The most ornate building was the Queen’s bedroom.
King Roscolin III angrily pushed open the door to the bedroom.
The Queen looked at King Roscolin III, who had now recovered completely.
She hugged his thigh and cried.
“Your Majesty, I deserve to die! I was obsessed! I listened to the first prince’s nonsense and did such a ridiculous thing! Your Majesty, please spare me this time!”
Lansi couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the Queen’s actions.
When she was young, the queen often brought servants to insult Lansi’s birth mother.
Back then, she had been so cruel and vicious, but now things had changed.
“I never expected that you would face this day too!”
Lansi said angrily.
When the Queen saw Lansi, she begged and knelt in front of her.
“Ninth Princess! No! Ninth Princess! Please help me beg your father for mercy! I apologize to you! Please spare me!”
Lansi coldly let go of the Queen’s hand and said to King Roscolin III.
“Father, please deal with this poisonous woman!”
King Roscolin III looked at the Queen coldly and said, “Men! Put this poisonous woman on death row!”
Finally, amidst her cries, the queen was dragged away by the guards.
The three of them were about to leave the harem, when Mike sensed that there seemed to be a trace of life in a nearby well.
“Your Majesty, there seems to be something in that well! I’ll go and take a look!”
After receiving permission from King Roscolin III, Mike walked to the well.
When he looked closer, he found that a woman had fainted in the well.
Because the water was not very deep, she had not drowned.
Mike quickly saved her and cast a spell to bring her back to life.
When King Roscolin III looked closer, he saw that the woman was his concubine, Xia Ji.
King Roscolin III thought of the time when he had been very sick, and only Xia Ji had come to visit him and cared about him.
Later, the Fierce Beast Hunting Union became more and more powerful in the imperial court.
Finally, even Xia Ji had been grounded in the harem.
Xia Ji slowly opened her eyes and said to Lansi who was beside her.
“Ninth Princess! You’re finally here!”
After Lansi heard this, she instantly understood that the author of the letter had been Xia Ji.
Xia Ji did not notice King Roscolin III yet and said weakly to Lansi.
“Ninth Princess, your father is now being persecuted by the Fierce Beast Hunting Union and your three brothers. You must think of a way to save him!”
“The other princes have all been locked up!”
“I could only tell you by letter because you were the only one outside of the palace. I was afraid of being intercepted by them, so I didn’t dare to write too much.”
When Lansi heard this, she held Xia Ji’s hand tightly and said, “Mother Xia, the crisis has been averted. Father has recovered!”
“Really… Really?”
Xia Ji said weakly.
Just then, King Roscolin III walked in front of Xia Ji.
He picked Xia ji up and spoke gently to her.
“I have recovered. Tomorrow, we will go to the imperial court to clean up those rebels!”
Xia Ji squeezed out a smile. At this moment, she turned her head to look at Mike.
She asked.
“This young brother is…”
“He is the Ninth Princess’ husband, my son-in-law, Mike. He is also the one who saved me and the entire Lieluo Empire!”
King Roscollin III said.
“Good… This is really good…”
After saying that, Xia Ji fainted.
“Xia Ji! Xia Ji! What’s wrong with you!”
King Roscolin III shouted.
“Your Majesty, Princess Xia Ji is just too tired and has fallen asleep. She will recover after a few days of recuperation.”
Mike said.
Finally, King Roscolin III’s anxious heart finally settled.
Then, he said, “Mike, my Ninth Princess, you have worked hard today. Go and rest early!”
