"This lady truly has no idea what a Spirit Warrior is?" Liu Yunxiao was dumbfounded as all his efforts went down the drain.

"I am in the same tier as your father." Liu Yunxiao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger burning within him.

"Ah… You are eyeing the throne!"

Liu Yunxiao was startled and rendered speechless. Even if he had thought of usurping the throne, now was not the right time to do so. 

"Somebody please come over!" Feng Ruqing shouted, her cold voice echoing in the courtyard.

Not long after, a group of imperial guards rushed over from all over the palace, making a besieging formation around them.

When Liu Yunxiao finally realized what was happening, the imperial guards had surrounded him.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Liu Yunxiao gritted his teeth.

"Liu Yunxiao wants to usurp the throne! Seize him!" Feng Ruqing"s eyes narrowed as she turned to look at the imperial guard leader with a bright smile on her face.

Stunned, Liu Yunxiao felt as if he had been set up. Not only did he do nothing, but he also did not even lay his hand on Feng Ruqing. In the end, he was claimed to be eyeing the throne!

"Your Highness, when did I say that I want to wrestle power from the emperor? Why are you framing me?" Liu Yunxiao"s face turned red from anxiety.

"I thought you said that you are the same tier as my father?" Feng Ruqing squinted at Liu Yunxiao.

"Yes, I did."

How did that have anything to do with usurping the throne? As Liu Yunxiao had attained Spirit Warrior tier, naturally, he was the same tier as the emperor.

"There you are! My father is the emperor of Liu Yun Kingdom. Since you said that you are in the same tier as my father, you are saying that you too are the emperor. Apparently, you have the intention to usurp the throne."

Liu Yunxiao had come across many shameless sc.u.m and in fact, he was one of them. However, all of them were nothing as compared to Feng Ruqing. She truly was the most shameless of all.

Seeing the imperial guards with weapons in their hands, Liu Yunxiao balled his hands into fists. The spiritual qi coming from him was like a storm.

Suddenly, an old voice spoke. The voice was full of power, and its overwhelming loftiness had shaken everyone on the spot.

"I heard that someone wants to usurp the throne! Who dares to wrestle the power from my son-in-law?"

Feng Ruqing raised her head only to see an old master walking through the door. The corner of her lips subconsciously curved into a smile.

"Grandpa!"

The old master looked extremely imposing in dark blue robe with one hand behind his back. As he had survived years of battle, he was amazingly agile. His murderous aura was blood-curdling and had sent a chill down everyone"s spine.

However, the deadly aura vanished without a trace when the old master saw Feng Ruqing.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Feng Ruqing broke into a bright smile as her somber mood vanished in a flash.

"I heard that someone had offended my son-in-law and had bullied my granddaughter in the audience hall. How could I let this slide? Although the a.s.sembly has ended, I know that you are still in the palace, but…" Master Nalan snorted as he said. 

Little did Master Nalan expect, someone was actually eyeing the throne. This fellow had truly disregarded him.
