“I will take whatever Your Majesty gives me.”

Emperor Kangze frowned and glanced at the Grand Steward of the Imperial Palace. The Grand Steward understood and bowed. Then he excused himself.

Following that, Su Ying looked at Prince Yu again. “What about the Nan State?”

When Prince Yu heard this, he gestured with his hand and had someone bring a box over.

Prince Yu took the box and opened it. There was a dazzling gem inside.

Su Ying raised an eyebrow. She was quite satisfied.

On the other side, the Grand Steward brought out a jade Ruyi scepter.

The jade was lustrous and translucent, and it looked very expensive at first glance.

Prince Yu turned around and gave a few instructions to the people beside him. Not long after that, a figure almost as tall as a mountain emerged in front of Su Ying. The opponent who was at least three times Su Ying’s size walked to the center of the hall.

Quite a few people broke out in a cold sweat when they saw that Su Ying had to take on such a tall and sturdy warrior. Even Emperor Kangze’s face sank.

The Empress lowered her gaze, but a hint of iciness appeared in her eyes. She thought to herself, “Su Ying, so you think you’re very powerful? Today, I’ll make sure you die an ugly death!”

Little Madam Jiang felt extremely delighted inwardly. It would be best if Su Ying could be beaten until she couldn’t stand up!

There were also people who lamented, thinking that Su Ying was really unlucky. However, she was the one who offended people everywhere she went the moment she came back. Now, she had offended someone she shouldn’t have. It certainly served her right!

Many people were waiting to see Su Ying make a fool of herself. Even the envoys of the Nan State were already imagining what kind of sorry state Su Ying would end up in.

Xiao Jin’s expression didn’t change at all, but if one looked closely, one could see that his grip on the wine cup had tightened.

“Su Ying.”

Xiao Jin called out softly. As long as Su Ying gave him a look of uncertainly, he would stand up without hesitation.

Su Ying turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

She seemed to be asking Xiao Jin what was the matter.

Xiao Jin didn’t speak but looked straight into her eyes. Su Ying understood then and raised her eyebrows slightly, giving him a reassuring look.

However, Xiao Jin couldn’t feel at ease. Even though he had witnessed Su Ying’s battle results many times, when he saw her thin figure standing in the hall, his whole body still subconsciously tensed up.

When she saw Xiao Jin’s uneasiness, Su Ying frowned and mouthed the words, “Don’t move.”

Xiao Jin slowly exhaled and suppressed his urge to stand up with great difficulty.

When the Nan State warrior learned that his opponent was this woman called Su Ying before his eyes, he didn’t hide the contempt in his eyes.

“Princess Consort Qi? I’m really worried that I will tear you to pieces by accident.”

Su Ying tied up her wide sleeves and didn’t even raise her head. “Don’t talk. I’m afraid you won’t be able to laugh later.”

“Hahahahaha!” The Nan State warrior guffawed sarcastically.

The palace servant came in with a small drum, and the Imperial Guards came in and set up a ringed barricade with ropes, fencing the two of them in.

“Whoever falls out of the ring first loses.” Emperor Kangze announced the rules.

Boom! As the drum beat rang out, the Nan State warrior rubbed his fists and slowly approached Su Ying.

Su Ying also tucked in her dress securely.

Just as the warrior reached out with his hand toward her, Su Ying grabbed his wrist. With a twist of her hand, she yanked at his wrist and her body quickly darted around. In a flash, she had twisted the warrior’s arm to his back.

“Argh!”

The warrior didn’t expect Su Ying to move so quickly. He roared in pain and quickly turned his body, trying to throw Su Ying out.

Su Ying took the opportunity to let go, and with a leap of her body, she stepped onto the warrior’s shoulder. The warrior tried to pull her down in fury, but Su Ying grabbed both of his hands just as he was reaching out. With a stomp of her feet, there was a cracking sound, and the warrior’s shoulder bone instantly broke.

The warrior cried out in pain, and his body was at Su Ying’s mercy as she slammed it to the ground.

Pow! Everyone seemed to be able to feel the tremors under their feet resulting from that thunderous sound.

The people present couldn’t believe their eyes. They must have missed something when they blinked their eyes earlier, such as Prince Qi secretly helping Su Ying or something like that. Otherwise, how could Su Ying take down such a tall and sturdy warrior by herself?

The warrior endured the pain and tried to get up, but Su Ying stepped on his chest with one foot. That single leg, which was not even as thick as the warrior’s arm, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. It pressed down on him so hard that he couldn’t move at all.

Su Ying lowered her eyes and looked down at him condescendingly. “Useless trash.”

After saying that, she gave one kick to his shoulder.

“Argh!”

The warrior’s cry of pain reverberated practically throughout the entire hall. Following that, his body was kicked out of the ring.

As he looked at the fallen warrior, Prince Yu almost sprang up from his chair. He stared at Su Ying in disbelief. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes… No! Even if he had seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe what he had seen. How was this possible?

Emperor Kangze also recovered from his shock. “Good. Hahahaha! Are there any more warriors from the Nan State? Send all of them up.”

Without a doubt, Emperor Kangze’s words ruthlessly hit the sore spot of the Nan State. Who could withstand such humiliation?

Prince Yu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “Princess Consort Qi is indeed powerful. Just now, our Nan State’s warrior underestimated his enemy. But our Nan State does not only have one warrior.”

Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “How many more do you have? I will take on all of them at once.”

“Princess Consort Qi certainly has a lot of confidence. Go. Get all the warriors to come up.” Prince Yu didn’t want to consider any code of honor in martial arts anymore. He only wanted to win against Su Ying! Even if the Nan State had to make use of their advantage in numbers, they had to win!

A dozen or so warriors from the Nan State walked in aggressively. At first glance, they resembled a moving mountain, and Su Ying seemed incomparably diminutive in front of them.

“How dare you look down on the warriors of the Nan State!” The warriors of the Nan State roared in anger and charged at Su Ying like battering rams from all directions.

Crack! The wine cup in Xiao Jin’s hand shattered into pieces in between his long fingers.

“Mother!” The older toddler Ji and the younger toddler Ling widened their eyes nervously and were extremely afraid.

The ministers were also shocked. So many…Wouldn’t they crush Princess Consort Qi into pieces!

Xiao Jue frowned as he watched Su Ying. He felt that she was overestimating herself. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but when he recalled her arrogance, he gritted his teeth and suppressed his intention.

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes darkened as she focused on dealing with the attack.

The warriors went all out as they wanted to take revenge for their earlier humiliation. When they came charging, the hall reverberated with the echoes of their footsteps.

Su Ying quickly took a few steps back as the warriors approached her. The warriors broke into sinister laughter as they thought Su Ying was afraid.

When the two sides were only a meter apart, Su Ying quickly leaped up and stepped on one warrior’s shoulder.

The warriors all rushed up to grab Su Ying.

One hand grabbed Su Ying’s ankle and pulled her off the warrior’s shoulder.

The warrior’s movements were extremely fast. After grabbing her leg, he grabbed her belt and laughed loudly and outrageously. “Hahahahaha!”

Xiao Jin sprang up from his chair at once.

That warrior then roared and ruthlessly flung Su Ying out..
