The death of the Xi Xia king, brought a sigh of relief from Hel Sheng. He hadn't felt much affection for his father emperor, whom he had never truly looked upon since childhood. As another unfavored illegitimate son, he didn't feel sympathy for his own circumstances.

The Emperor's initial good intentions had long been devoured by ambition.

According to He Sheng, the only good thing he had done before his death was to issue an edict of abdication, allowing him to ascend to the throne of Xixia legitimately.

The new emperor of Xixia issued an order to the border regions on his ascension day, calling for a halt to hostilities and a return of troops. The people in both border regions were overjoyed upon hearing this news; the war had finally come to an end.

As soon as the enthronement ceremony ended, Fang Jinshu hurried out of the palace.

On the way, he was stopped by a eunuch.

"Madam Fang, His Majesty is looking for you everywhere."

Fang Jinshi yearned to return home, “Please trouble your Majesty and inform the Emperor that I have urgent matters to attend to and must leave first. Let’s postpone our reunion for another day.”

Both countries had retreated, so she naturally wanted to rush home to see Ah Yu and Yuan Bao.

Her husband and son were waiting for her to return home for a family reunion. Herlsheng knew she was eager to leave, but someone had come to call her at this very moment.

"Madam Fang, perhaps you should speak directly to His Majesty about this. This old servant dares not disobey the Emperor's will."

"Please, mistress, don't make this old servant difficult. Why not go back and listen to what His Majesty has to say to you last You can leave after hearing it."

Fan Jinshi frowned. This Ah Sheng, even after becoming emperor, was still so fussy and wordy, why didn't he just say everything at once instead of beating around the bush

"Alright, then let's go. I need to see the Emperor and then I have to continue on my journey. The Grand Princess is waiting for me in the palace ahead."

The eunuch in waiting hurried to nod, walking ahead and leading the way for Fang Jinshu.

As she walked, Fang Jinxiu suddenly realized something was amiss. Why did this road seem so unfamiliar

She gradually slowed her pace, "Grandfather, this isn't the way to the study, is it"

"The man before said, 'When I told the empress about your visit, she said there are just a few casual things she wanted to say, and that the atmosphere in the imperial study was a bit too serious.'"

"So let this old servant lead you to the garden behind the side hall, Your Majesty is waiting for you there."

A thread of caution ran through Fang Jinxiu's heart. After all, Hel Sheng had just taken over the Xixia Palace, and he hadn't sorted out the many intricate factions within it yet. Today was only his first day on the throne, and someone was already itching to make a move after he promised to let her return to Daxia

Among the officials of the Western Xia Dynasty, there were quite a few war-mongers, just like the previous King of Western Xia.

When Hulsheng ordered the withdrawal of troops in the court, many people jumped out to oppose her. It seems they were planning to kill her inside the palace and provoke Da Xi's hatred, forcing Hulsheng to continue this war

Fang Jinxiu followed unperturbed. Anyway, she had the Space artifact to protect her. If she couldn't beat them, she could always dodge.

Before she left, she would do one last good thing for Hellsing: expose these hotheads and the informants in the palace. She would root out as many as she could.

"Father-in-law, is it truly the Emperor who wishes to see me"

"There's no one here."

The leading grandfather suddenly changed color, his smile vanished, and his face was filled with anger. He quickly retreated a few steps, waving his hand. Several armored guards suddenly appeared from the hidden paths on both sides.

"So there are people from your side even within the Imperial Army."

"I have long heard of the great reputation of Lady Wudinghou. This old servant is truly in awe of you. With just your status as a woman, you infiltrated my Xixia and turned the royal family upside down."

"Mrs. Hou is truly skilled!"

"Too bad, you can't leave the palace today!"

"All of you, charge! Kill her and avenge our king!"

Still a former Western Xia king's subordinate

Just as those people rushed over, Fang Jinshu's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot.

She could feel people standing outside the space, and as she experienced things, the space constantly evolved and upgraded. Sometimes, she could even see outside while standing inside.

"Where is he!"

"Greetings, Master He. What exactly is Fang Jinshiu How could she simply vanish into thin air"

The eunuch known as He Gonggong's face turned pale with anger, and if you looked closely, you could see that his whole body was trembling.

"Under the bright blue sky, could it be ghosts"

"Even if she's a ghost, I'll dig up the earth three feet deep to find her, no matter life or death!"

"Yes!"

Everyone searched frantically for Fang Jinxiu's whereabouts. This He Gonggong was quite cunning; no matter how they looked, he kept these people within the area where Fang Jinxiu had disappeared.

Fang Jinshi, who had already hid in the room, helplessly watched the guards searching for her outside. She could only pull out a chaise lounge and wash a pear before lying down to eat while watching.

Why are you still here Are you really going to dig three feet into the ground

To her surprise, she became like a jinx. No one from the eunuch He’s household could find her, so they actually brought over a batch of spades, hoes and other tools and dug right where she had been standing.

Fan Jinshu's mouth twitched, and she tossed the fruit pit in her hand with force.

"Damn it! No honor in fighting, just digging holes."

"I dug this deep a hole, how am I supposed to climb out!"

Damn it, while hiding in this space ensures absolute safety, it also means being completely immobile inside. That means wherever she disappeared to, she'll reappear back at the exact same spot again.

The eunuch, who happened to be digging right where Fang Jinshi had been standing moments before, dug deeper and deeper. The sight of the deepening pit made Fang Jinshi's face darken.

This is the first time I've been tricked by an ancient person!

In the Chang Princess's Palace, she waited for a long time but did not see Fang Jinshu appear. After their agreed-upon departure time had passed, she still couldn't see her shadow. The Chang Princess was angry.

Charging into Helsheng's sleeping quarters with a grim expression, he overwhelmed the eunuchs guarding outside.

"Your Highness, Your Royal Highness, you cannot enter. The Emperor is already resting."

If someone were to kill in a fit of rage, wouldn't she be too old for that Couldn't she possibly be swayed by some silly video from a young girl

Yes, the first thing that came to Mo Qing's mind was that Fang Jinshu had gone back on her word and even played the Xixia royal family.

After all, she said that Zong Yu was her and Daxie's child with the former emperor, there was no direct evidence. Although Your Majesty testified, confirming that Zong Yu did look a lot like her, it wasn't enough to prove that Fang Jinshi hadn't deceived her.

That girl, her head full of tricks, who knows what she's scheming.

They had originally made an agreement that after the Xixia matter was settled, they would go to Daxixi together to reunite with Ayu's family. She was willing to return with them to Xizhou and experience the peaceful and harmonious life she had once described.

It's because the Crown Princess was too invested and trusted Fang Jinshu, so now seeing her disappear, her anger burns even fiercer.

"Your Majesty, how can you still sleep, Fang Jinshi is missing!"

The Chang Princess came in and shouted, Herl Sheng hadn't actually fallen asleep. Having just taken charge of the government, he was busy day and night with a whirlwind of affairs waiting to be handled, and there were also a bunch of unclear and mysterious forces operating behind the scenes that he had to uncover one by one.

He couldn't have so many unseen eyes around him, spying on his every move.

But when he heard the phrase the princess spoke as she burst in, Herlington's drowsiness vanished instantly and a jolt of surprise ran through him.

Before he could react, his body had already walked honestly to the princess's face.

"Auntie, what are you saying Fang Jinshi is missing"

The Crown Princess said calmly, "Indeed, since she didn't come to see me, I disappeared."r are all from the village and I know them well, so I won't feel lonely.If she's restless and wants to work, it's even more convenient. The manor is so big, she can do whatever she wants.She brought p...
