Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai's face turned completely pale.

His previous arrogance and rage seemed to be doused with a bucket of cold water, leaving him trembling all over!

"Crown Prince... save me..."

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and replied, "If the North Suppressing Prince wants him dead, there's no problem!"

"No, please..."

Zhou Tai, on the verge of tears, looked as if he had just been pulled out of water.

"Don't be afraid, take a deep breath, it will be over soon."

Wang Danian dragged Zhou Tai away to a distant spot.

Ye Fan turned around and directly sat in the carriage.

"Ah! Ah—!" The sound of Zhou Tai's bones breaking and skin tearing apart echoed in the air as he was beaten to death.

Li Youruo was trembling, shrinking into a corner, staring at Ye Fan as he entered the carriage.

Suddenly, she felt she no longer recognized Ye Fan at all!

This man was definitely no longer the number one wastrel of Great Xia!

Inside the Nalan Clan's carriage, Nalan Xueyan was breathing heavily, her eyes wide open, her small chest heaving with each breath. "Zhou Tai was beaten to death just like that? And right in front of the Crown Prince!"

"This is the true North Suppressing Prince, even killing with the word 'grant'!" Nalan Fengyun smiled, feeling quite pleased.

"Let's go, get off the carriage, and enter the palace."

...

Entering the Imperial Palace, the carriage stopped at the square in front of Jinluan Hall.

The officials who had already arrived were unaware of the events outside. When they saw the North Suppressing Prince's carriage appear, they were all taken aback.

"What's going on? Is this... the North Suppressing Prince's carriage?"

"You don't know? Something big just happened outside!"

"What big thing?" Many officials looked puzzled.

Someone immediately explained, and upon learning that the Crown Prince's guard Zhou Tai was ordered by Ye Fan to be executed on the spot, everyone was left with their mouths agape in shock!

"Did Ye Fan take the wrong medicine?"

Someone whispered in fear, "Shh... from now on, address him as the North Suppressing Prince!"

"Although His Majesty granted the North Suppressing Prince the privilege to enter the palace without dismounting, even Ye Zhengrong never dared to actually do it! Did Ye Fan eat a bear's heart and a leopard's gall? Being granted is one thing, actually doing it is another!" The crowd murmured in low voices.

Ye Fan acted as if he hadn't heard.

He strode forward, heading straight for Jinluan Hall.

Li Youruo followed behind, feeling a bit panicked. Ye Fan's actions had completely exceeded her expectations!

In front of Jinluan Hall, a eunuch approached.

With a smile on his face, he stopped Ye Fan, "Your Highness, please wait."

"Your guards cannot go any further!"

The Chief Eunuch Liu Chengen, a 9th-rank Martial Spirit, was the one who severely injured the eighth sister after she was stripped of her military power in a previous life, subjecting her to inhuman torture until her tragic death!

Smack—!

A crisp sound echoed!

Liu Chengen was stunned, dumbfounded.

His eyes widened, even as a 9th-rank Martial Spirit, he hadn't reacted in time!

The scene became deathly quiet, everyone looked at Ye Fan in horror, their eyes filled with fear, all gasping in shock!

Liu Chengen!

This was the Chief Eunuch beside His Majesty!

"Did I see wrong? Did the North Suppressing Prince slap Eunuch Liu?"

"My God!"

Outside Jinluan Hall, the civil and military officials were so frightened they knelt on the ground, not daring to lift their heads!

Li Chengqian saw this scene, his pupils contracted, and then he was overjoyed: 'Hahaha! Ye Fan, you're really digging your own grave!'

"Grandfather, did he just slap Eunuch Liu?" Nalan Xueyan's breathing quickened, almost suffocating.

Even Nalan Fengyun widened his eyes, swallowing hard.

This guy, his courage was too great!

Li Youruo stood frozen in place, Liu Chengen was highly favored by her father, even she had to be courteous to Liu Chengen!

How dare Ye Fan slap Liu Chengen?!!

A deathly silence!

Liu Chengen's voice trembled, mixed with disbelief, "You dare hit me?"

Smack—!

Another slap!

Liu Chengen still didn't dodge, he couldn't believe Ye Fan dared to slap him a second time!

Ye Fan coldly stared at Liu Chengen, "What? You damned servant, just a mere eunuch of the sixth rank!"

"Did I say I wanted to bring guards into Jinluan Hall?"

"Do I need your reminder, are you teaching me how to do things?"

He first put a label on him!

Liu Chengen's eyes shrank, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "This servant wouldn't dare!"

Under the gaze of everyone.

Ye Fan lifted his foot and stepped over Liu Chengen, walking into Jinluan Hall.

In the distance.

Li Chengqian's face turned extremely gloomy.

Li Youruo still stood there in a daze, she finally confirmed, Ye Fan had definitely been pretending to be a useless wastrel before!

"The North Suppressing Prince has arrived!"

The moment he entered Jinluan Hall, a young eunuch shouted loudly, his voice infused with inner force, spreading throughout the entire hall.

Swish—!

Countless gazes turned towards him, from princes and ministers to various princes and princesses, all eyes fell on Ye Fan!

"Father! He's here!"

Qin Feng's lips were pale.

Though his legs had been severed, he managed to keep his life.

Wang Guozhong had a somber expression, the steward beside him was reporting the events outside, Ye Fan's execution of Zhou Tai and slapping of Liu Chengen, everyone inside Jinluan Hall knew immediately, and they all looked at Ye Fan with varying expressions!

Some were surprised, some were shocked, some indifferent, some cold.

Ye Fan ignored them all.

He strode forward, heading towards the throne!

"What's this kid trying to do?"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Everyone was breathless.

Just as Ye Fan was about to step onto the throne's platform, he suddenly turned and headed towards a nearby seat!

The four great kings of Great Xia guarded the four directions: North Suppressing Prince! East River King! Nanling Prince! Xibo Prince!

In his previous life, the North Suppressing Prince's Manor lost its command over 800,000 troops, but still had 100,000 loyal soldiers!

East River King! Nanling Prince! Xibo Prince! The three kings simultaneously dispatched troops, eventually annihilating the last 100,000 soldiers under the eighth sister's command, and the eighth sister was captured by Liu Chengen!

The chair originally belonging to the North Suppressing Prince was currently occupied by an old man!

East River King, Lin Baichuan.

Since Ye Zhengrong's death in battle, the seat that originally belonged to him had fallen into the hands of the most powerful East River King!

Ye Fan had always sat at the last seat!

"Dear nephew, you're here."

The East River King chuckled, his son Lin Xiao standing beside him with a playful expression.

Ye Fan said calmly, "East River King, is this your seat?"

"If you really want to sit here, should I let you have the North Suppressing Prince's seat as well?"

The East River King's smile froze.

His old face burned with embarrassment, he had intended to bully Ye Fan and secure the top seat below the throne, but Ye Fan publicly slapped him in the face!

"Hiss..."

Everyone in Jinluan Hall gasped!

"Grandfather, what's with this guy? Why is he acting like a thorn?" Nalan Xueyan and Nalan Fengyun had just sat down when they witnessed this scene.

Nalan Fengyun shook his head, "This seat originally belonged to him!"

"Ye Fan! How dare you speak to my father like that?" Lin Xiao shouted angrily.

Ye Fan sneered, "And what the hell are you? Daring to question me?"

Lin Xiao's eyes turned red, "I am the eldest son of the East River King! You actually called me 'what are you'?"

Ye Fan chuckled, "Is the status of the East River King's eldest son very high? Among so many princes and princesses present, none of them spoke, what right do you have to speak?"

"Do you think you're higher in status than the princes and princesses?"

"You... I... no..."

Lin Xiao's eyes shrank, not daring to utter another word!

The East River King laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Such sharp wit, truly worthy of being the descendant of the North Suppressing Prince!"

He slowly stood up, vacating the seat that originally belonged to the North Suppressing Prince, and moved in front of the Nanling Prince, his eyes almost spitting fire!

The Nanling Prince and Xibo Prince had no choice but to rise and return to their own seats!

Ye Fan had just sat down!

Lin Xiao turned to return behind the East River King.

"Did I say you could leave?"

"What... do you want?" Lin Xiao turned back, glaring at Ye Fan in anger.

Ye Fan smirked, "What do I want? Hahaha! East River King, your heir just publicly scolded me, is your Lin family planning a rebellion?"
