The court officials were in an uproar, their eyes blazing with anger as they stared intently at Li Guanyan and Wang Xianjia.

Despite their fury, they were helpless. When the previous emperor passed away and Qin Liuli seized the throne, she did not summon the Heavenly Strategy General for the coronation, effectively excluding him from the court.

At that time, the Empress decided to follow the previous emperor's will, allowing Li Guanyan to leave the Great Jin court and become a force stationed at the border.

As for the Black-Robed Prime Minister Wang Xianjia, the Empress had no idea he had faked his death and was still alive.
