On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

Half an hour later, in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Li Youruo was just about to go to sleep.

An old eunuch knelt outside the palace with small, quick steps: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhenbei... summons you to his residence..."

Upon hearing this, the newly arrived palace maids were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground!

"Prince Zhenbei, shall we summon His Majesty to the Prince's residence?"

"My God... Has the Prince of Zhenbei really gone mad?"

"The rumors circulating outside the palace these past two days are true!"

Despite the horrified stares of several palace maids, Li Youruo showed no displeasure; instead, her beautiful eyes lit up!

"Why is he contacting me in the middle of the night?"

"Could it be... that we're about to find an antidote!"

Thinking of this, Li Youruo's pretty face flushed slightly.

"Quickly, prepare the carriage; we're heading to the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion!"

She took two steps, then stopped and waved her hand.

"Wait! Never mind, I'll ride a horse!"

A moment later, Li Youruo took out a pair of silk stockings as thin as cicada wings from an exquisite wooden box!

Her pretty face flushed red as she pulled the stockings tightly onto her long, slender legs, a strange feeling making her heart race!

A moment later, a black lightning bolt shot out of the Great Xia Imperial Palace and headed straight for the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion!

……

When Li Youruo arrived at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, she found it brightly lit.

Consort Xiao Rong, Consort Xiao Ya, Shen Murong, Shen Hong... all the key figures of the Prince's Mansion were present.

Upon seeing Li Youruo enter, Ye Fan spoke, "Everyone's here!"

The entire hall fell silent instantly!

"Now, I'll announce my plan!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines!

The crucial moment concerning the future of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Prince's Palace has arrived!

Ye Fan's gaze fell on Consort Xiao Rong and Consort Xiao Ya:

"Sister Rongfei, Sister Yafei, starting tomorrow, the World's Number One Auction House will resume normal operations! Items on the previous list will be sold at a 30% discount starting tomorrow!"

"As for everything else, it'll always be 10% cheaper than the Crimson Merchant Guild!"

Upon hearing this!

The two men were taken aback: "Young man, are you sure you want to do this?"

Once the news gets out, it's tantamount to telling the world that the world's number one auction house and the Crimson Merchant Guild have officially declared war!

Ye Fan retorted, "Otherwise what?"

Consort Xiao Rong and Consort Xiao Ya exchanged a glance and uttered only one word: "Good!"

Ye Fan then looked at Li Youruo: "Li Youruo, select three thousand eunuchs, those who have no relatives or friends and no worries about the future, and establish the Eastern Investigation Bureau!"

Li Youruo was taken aback: "What's the purpose of having so many eunuchs?"

Ye Fan said, "Eunuchs have no offspring and no ties. As long as you give them enough imperial power, they can become your sharpest blade, monitoring all officials for you! As the Empress of Great Xia, your power must be secure!"

Li Youruo's beautiful eyes lit up: "You want me to take power?"

Although she has ascended the throne, who among the court officials doesn't know that she is merely a puppet supported by Ye Fan?

During court meetings, many ministers outwardly complied but inwardly defied the rules, often saying they needed to consult with the Prince of Zhenbei first, which left her feeling resentful!

Ye Fan continued, "From now on, you will have the final say in matters of the court."

"The people of the Eastern Investigation Bureau have the right to execute first and report later! Anyone who colludes with foreign enemies and endangers the safety of the Great Xia, even if they are princes, nobles, or imperial relatives, can be killed!"

For the Great Xia Dynasty to become stronger and for the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to gain a firm foothold, he alone cannot control everything!

Li Youruo's breathing became rapid as she stared intently at Ye Fan: "These three thousand eunuchs, and all the civil and military officials, are all under my command?"

"yes!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Li Youruo trembled with excitement and clenched her fists tightly!

At this moment, Ye Fan's gaze shifted and landed on Shen Murong.

"Eighth Sister, how many elite troops does Great Xia currently have available?"

Shen Murong answered without hesitation: "Last time, we sent 500,000 troops to the Japanese islands, killing over 300,000 Japanese pirates from the Minamoto, Yagyu, and Fufeng clans! Currently, 200,000 elite troops remain on the islands to suppress the remaining pirates!"

"I brought back 300,000 elite troops, temporarily stationed in the East China Sea, and they can be mobilized at any time."

Ye Fan nodded: "Eighth Sister, I'll give you three days to mobilize troops. Three days later, we'll march on Great Zhou!"

Boom—!

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears!

Li Youruo almost cried out, "Ye Fan! You're going to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Ye Fan sneered, his eyes flashing with cold light: "After the defeat of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, the Yunluo Empire bowed down and submitted, and the Japanese pirates are on the verge of complete extinction!"

"Only the Great Zhou Dynasty has remained silent, neither offering any statement nor sending anyone to explain. Do they really think this matter is over?"

Ye Fan's eyes grew increasingly cold!

"Moreover, on my way back from Zhongzhou, the Great Zhou Dynasty spent a fortune hiring five Martial Grandmasters and dozens of Martial Emperors to ambush me along the way!"

"ah--!"

Upon hearing this, all the women gasped in surprise, their faces filled with lingering fear!

Shen Murong's pretty face instantly turned ashen, and a terrifying killing intent burst forth from her!

"They're asking for it!"

She abruptly stood up and swept away, declaring, "Xiao Fan, I'm going to reorganize the army! In three days, we'll march on Great Zhou!"

Watching Shen Murong's departing figure, Ye Fan called out again in a low voice, "Wang Danian!"

Wang Danian immediately stepped forward: "Your subordinate is here!"

"What the Prince's Palace lacks most right now is martial artists! You veterans are generally stuck at the Martial Master or Grand Martial Master level; you're too weak!"

"Starting tomorrow, aside from your shifts on guard duty, you don't need to do anything else! Focus all your energy on opening your second martial meridian, and then focus all your energy on advancing!"

"Go register with Su Ningshuang to collect the pills; there's plenty!"

"Within half a month, I want to see all of you promoted to Grand Martial Master! Your lieutenants must reach the peak of Grand Martial Master! As for you, Wang Danian, don't come to see me until you reach the Martial Spirit realm!"

Wang Danian trembled all over as he listened, his rugged old face turning bright red.

Use Martial Vein Pills freely!

Powder is plentiful!

For someone with two martial meridians, this is an incredible opportunity! If you can't break through in half a month, what's the difference between you and a piece of trash?

"Your Highness!"

Wang Danian knelt down on one knee with a thud, his voice choked with emotion: "Your subordinate... will certainly not fail in your mission!"

……

Late at night, inside an inn in the city.

Yu Canghai and Lu Kexing were playing chess, with several martial masters standing behind them!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a voluptuous and sexy figure walked in, accompanied by a fragrant breeze!

Sai Luoli's pretty face was frosty, and her gaze swept coldly over the two of them.

"Elder Yu, Elder Lu, you've done a truly commendable job! You actually dared to fight Ye Fan. My orders were to protect him, and this is how you protect him?"

Yu Canghai's face turned ashen.

With a loud bang, the eight-immortal table shattered.

She jumped up abruptly: "Sailor, has your brain gone mad too?"

Sai Luoli's pupils contracted: "What did you say?"

Lu Kexing and the other five martial masters stared at the two of them in astonishment!

Yu Canghai sneered: "Hmph! Your father did me a great favor back then, protecting the Sai family for fifty years!"

"Furthermore, I stated before that if there is any dissatisfaction or violation of my dignity, I am ready to leave at any time!"

"Today, I have protected your Sai family for forty-eight years, with only two years left! Logically speaking, I should have left three years ago after your father passed away!"

Yu Canghai's old face was cold and unapproachable!

Sai Luoli's pretty face turned ugly!

"Old Yu..." Lu Kexing shook his head.

Yu Canghai snorted coldly:

"How dare you speak to me like that for a dying piece of trash? From this day forward, I will no longer protect the Sai family!"

"From this day forward, all ties are severed!"
