The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 486: From Now On, Her Husband Will Handle Matters

Nanli’s first reaction was that Second Brother would surely love the gold crown.

He Qinian said, "Ruler, please take your seat! The Chancellor will place the crown on your head!"

Nanli had different plans in mind. She walked step by step towards the throne of Border Nation. The Chancellor wiped his hands on his clothes, looking at the Evil Bee that followed Nanli closely. He was very excited, afraid his hands would dirty the crown and Nanli might refuse to become the ruler.

But Nanli stopped on the stairs and did not move forward. She turned around with a serious and resolute expression. "Since you have appointed me as your ruler, I will break the old customs today. I am not a Xuanyuan, and I will not wear this crown!"

"Tonight, I will issue the first law: the people of Border Nation are forbidden from using poisonous Enchanting Bugs! Anyone caught using poisonous Enchanting Bugs to harm others will be exiled at best, and executed at worst!"

"Also, I am not skilled in managing state affairs. I will choose someone to handle the administration for me in the future."

That person would be none other than her lord husband. Because of House Xuanyuan’s tolerance, the people of Border Nation mostly used poisonous Enchanting Bugs to harm others. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such blind worship and obedience to the Evil Bee. Since they were able to fully submit to her, she could lead them onto the right path and make them understand that Enchanting Bugs Technique, like medical skills, has its good and bad uses, depending on who wields it.

The Chancellor and the others had no objections and loudly praised the ruler’s wisdom.

Nanli glanced at the Chancellor. "I need to return to Mu Nation immediately. You handle state affairs for now." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The Chancellor bowed again. "Rest assured, ruler. I will take good care of everything!"

A general stepped forward. "Ruler, please allow me to lead troops to escort you!"

As the ruler was returning to Mu Nation, the display had to be grand. Thirty thousand soldiers and eight luxurious carriages should suffice.

Nanli pursed her lips and said, "No need. I am in a hurry. You all go back and rest."

The Chancellor and the ministers became anxious again. As subjects, how could they let the ruler travel alone?

But Nanli took out a small pouch and beckoned to the Evil Bee. "Come in."

The Evil Bees flew in immediately, afraid of falling behind. She tied the pouch to her waist, then took out a Transfer Talisman and looked at the Chancellor and the others. "Really no need to see me off. Just manage Border Nation."

"He Qinian, let’s go!"

She finished speaking, grabbed He Qinian, and used the Transfer Talisman. In a flash of golden light, they vanished.

The Chancellor slowly stood up, his admiration for the ruler never fading. He said with a tremble, "Ruler is wise and capable. It is a blessing for Border Nation!"

The other ministers nodded in agreement.

Jiang Nian asked how to handle Xuanyuan Fu’s corpse.

The Chancellor replied, "He harmed many virtuous women and is a false dragon. Just drag him to the mass grave!"

"Good!" Jiang Nian was somewhat excited.

The people of Border Nation valued oaths and beliefs greatly, so even though Jiang Nian thought Xuanyuan Fu was too cruel, he didn’t say anything before. Now that he was protecting the true dragon, he felt he hadn’t violated his oath.

The Chancellor thought for a moment and continued, "The new ruler is kind-hearted and will not tolerate any wrongdoing. From today on, House Xuanyuan is no longer a royal family. Investigate everyone from House Xuanyuan, past or present. If any crimes are found, arrest and imprison them immediately. No leniency!"

"Chancellor is wise!" The ministers echoed.

But the palace guards exchanged looks.

When Xuanyuan Cang and Xuanyuan Fu were in power, they had discussed that the Ninth Princess of Mu Nation ruling from Mu Nation was a disaster for Border Nation and had planned how to kill her and destroy Mu Nation. In just one night, such a change had occurred, faster than a change of dynasty?

Although the palace guards were caught off guard, upon hearing that Nanli could command the Evil Bees, they had no doubts. They thought Xuanyuan Cang and Xuanyuan Fu were not true dragons; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been suppressed by the new ruler.

The night wind blew away the clouds. The moon in the sky was bright and round, casting a brilliant light.

House Xuanyuan had ruled Border Nation for a thousand years, and the royal power had never been transferred. But today, their royal power was overturned, and the glory and wealth would be no more.

Border Nation was about to welcome a new beginning!

The situation of the world was also about to change!

---

In Mu Nation, Capital.

Xuanyuan Che suddenly noticed that the power of the array that could temporarily neutralize the Talisman had weakened significantly!

He glanced towards Border Nation and muttered, "What’s going on? It hasn’t even been an hour."

Ye Chengyan saw his expression change. "What happened?"

"It’s not a big problem," Xuanyuan Che steadied himself. "This evil array has the advantage of being invisible and colorless. Whether its power weakens or loses its effect, as long as the Chu family doesn’t use the Talisman, they won’t know."

Ye Chengyan felt uneasy. His right eyebrow twitched.

The forbidden army? Where are they now?

He was about to ask when a man in black jumped onto the roof and shouted loudly to theMarquis Mansion: "Lord Chu! I just heard them say that the array’s power has weakened significantly. Your Talisman might be usable now!"

TheMarquis Mansion was surprised.

Xuanyuan Che was extremely angry and stared at the man on the roof. "Who are you?!"

"I’m a good guy!" The undercover agent raised his chin. "We’re here to protect the Chu family!"

Xuanyuan Che was so furious that it hurt his chest. He saw from a distance that Chu Hanlin was preparing to use the Teleportation Talisman to leave.

"Don’t let him leave!"

Ye Chengyan knew immediately and said, "Lord Chu, if you use the Teleportation Talisman, I will cut off your head!"

Chu Hanlin’s hand faltered upon hearing this.

A close family friend?

The only person who married Chu Ye in the house was...

Ye Chengyan waved, and the Black Armor Guard brought the Xiao family in, including Lord Xiao and his wife, and their two children.

Xiao Wanyi, holding her son, saw her family bound and a knife held to their necks. She panicked and stumbled forward. "Father! Mother!..."

Her legs weakened, but Chu Ye caught her from behind and held her son securely.

"Wanyi, stay calm," Chu Ye said.

It was her parents, how could Xiao Wanyi stay calm? With tears in her eyes, she looked at Chu Hanlin but couldn’t bring herself to ask for help.

She knew that once Ye Chengyan obtained the Imperial Jade Seal and edict, the Capital would be in chaos, and Mu Nation would fall!

Lord Xiao, who had been at the back, already knew Ye Chengyan was plotting a coup. He straightened his back and said loudly, "Chu, our Xiao family dies for the ruler and the people. We are honored! Do what you must, but don’t..."

He hadn’t finished when Xuanyuan Che silenced him with a pressure point, stopping him from speaking further.

Chu Hanlin understood Lord Xiao’s meaning and raised his hand again.

Ye Chengyan, now frantic, said coldly, "The forbidden army is almost here. How many Teleportation Talismans do you have? Once the master leaves, what about the servants? After you leave, I will not only kill all the Chu family’s servants but also behead those hypocritical officials and hang their heads on the city wall!"
