After embracing Qian Renxue for a while that night, Su He entered cultivation mode.

One thing that surprised Su He that even though she had thoroughly humiliated Dai Tianfeng in the Star Luo Empire a few days ago, the Heaven Dou Empire hadn't made a single move.

The disparity in strength between the two countries is evident even in such small details. The Heaven Dou Empire's intelligence system is unable to properly handle affairs within its own borders, let alone intelligence on the Star Luo Empire.

Not to mention the Star Luo Imperial Family's spies within the Heaven Dou Empire, there were numerous instances of them openly assassinating others.

Three days later, the monthly grand morning court session took place in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

On Xue Ye, dragging his sickly and frail body, slowly climbed onto the Dragon Throne with the help of his attendants, his eyes listlessly looking at the ministers below.

His body was on the verge of complete collapse. The fact that he could still attend court and listen to government affairs on this one day each month was the result of the Heaven Dou Empire's Healing System Spirit Master doing their utmost.

"Speak if you have something to say, otherwise the court may adjourn!" As the familiar words of the announcer rang out, the ministers below the stage began to move.

Su He followed Xue Qinghe into the imperial court. Many of the officials present showed resentment upon seeing Su He's arrival.

In the past few months, they have been spreading rumors that Su He has disappeared or died to trip up Qian Renxue, and some people even want to incite Prince Xue Xing and Xue Qinghe to fight for the throne.

It has to be said that these nobles are truly capable of anything for their own benefit. Even a good-for-nothing like Prince Xue Xing, who has no ability whatsoever, can become the crown prince they support. How ironic is that?

Su He described these people as short-sighted politicians who only focused on immediate interests and never considered long-term development.

If Prince Xue Xing were to ascend to the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire would probably be crushed by the Star Luo Empire Iron Cavalry next door in just a few years. These are things that those foolish and short-sighted politicians have never thought about.

They only care about how to get more money into their accounts; nothing else matters.

"Your Majesty, I wish to impeach Su He, the His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal guard!"

A fat, pot-bellied man stepped forward. He was the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire, a high-ranking and powerful figure within the empire.

He was one of those short-sighted "high-ranking officials and nobles".

"Oh? What do you want to say?" Xue Ye, having heard that someone wanted to impeach Su He, forced himself to look at the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Standing in front of Su He, "Xue Qinghe" appeared outwardly calm, but she still frowned slightly, which Su He keenly noticed, clearly indicating that she was not in a good mood.

During the past few months while Su He was away, Qian Renxue was targeted by these people every morning at court, and it was truly unfair that she could endure it.

"As the personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who is also the Heaven Dou Empire Emperor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Su He has disappeared for four months without attending the morning court."

The obese Minister of the Interior looked at Su He with disdain, making the latter want to beat him up to vent her anger.

The Minister of the Interior took a step forward, his obese body jiggling, and continued speaking.

"In my opinion, Su He, who has no sense of responsibility towards the Heaven Dou Empire and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is no longer fit to be the His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's guard captain. I implore Your Majesty to transfer him to Prince Xue Xing's command so that his character can be properly tempered."

The obese steward wore a smug look on his face and glanced at Su He as he spoke.

"Father..."

"Abyssal Golden Lion!" "Roar!"

Upon hearing the Minister of Internal Affairs' words, Xue Qinghe immediately understood what he meant. His scheming was so blatant that it could be heard even in Spirit City!

Xue Qinghe was about to retort when Su He behind him suddenly activated her Martial Soul.

Su He suppressed his Awe-Inspiring Mountains and Rivers aura and focused all his pressure on the fat Minister of Internal Affairs. As a loud lion's roar echoed in the hall, the Minister's fleshy body began to tremble slowly, and streams of yellow fluid trickled down his crotch. The officials around him covered their mouths and noses; the smell was truly unbearable!

However, most of the officials in the court were not focused on the fat man who was so frightened that he soiled himself, but on Su He, who had just completed the Martial Soul Possession.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black.

The five Soul Ring pulsed rhythmically: the yellow one was bright and dazzling, the purple one mysterious and noble, and the black one deep and unfathomable.

"In just two short years, he has already become Soul King!"

"In just two years, his Soul Power has increased by more than ten levels!"

The five Soul Ring lit up, and the entire arena fell silent.

Even Xue Ye was stunned; even at his age, he had never seen someone with such outstanding talent.

Su He took a few steps forward, walked to Xue Ye, bowed, and said.

"Your Majesty, please understand that I have made such progress through four months of arduous training and practice. If my strength is still insufficient to silence those petty villains, I am willing to accept Your Majesty's punishment!"

Su He's words were firm and powerful, expressing her true feelings.

Xue Ye was taken aback after hearing this. He was a very shrewd person, so how could he not know that Su He was expressing her dissatisfaction and asking him to uphold justice?

"Minister of Internal Affairs Yang Feng has been corrupt and lawless in recent years, accepting bribes totaling 2.4 million Gold Soul Coin. Take him away."

"Your Majesty, spare me! Spare me!"

Xue Ye calmly delivered his verdict, offering a relatively fair judgment on the damage done to Su He and "Xue Qinghe"'s reputation over the past few months.

He knew all about the officials' scandals and could turn into the Sword of Damocles at any time to cut off their necks; it all depended on whether Xue Ye was willing.

After this incident, Su He's talent was proven once again. In the vast Heaven Dou Empire, no one would question Su He anymore, and no petty person would easily try to trip up "Xue Qinghe" in the court.

All Qian Renxue had to do next was quietly wait for Xue Ye to die of his illness, and then she could immediately take over his throne and become the new monarch of the Heaven Dou Empire.

With the political turmoil over, everything returned to normal.

Su He returned to the Crown Prince's Palace and sat face to face with Qian Renxue, who had removed her disguise.

"He'er, you look so handsome today!!!" After closing the door, Qian Renxue could no longer contain her excitement and rushed into Su He, saying excitedly.

Although she is a very shrewd and calculating person, she is usually able to keep her emotions hidden.

But these frustrations accumulate in one's heart, with nowhere to be vented.

Su He's actions can be considered a great way of venting her anger!
