The prince's personal bodyguard

Wei State, Imperial Palace.

At midnight, in the Emperor's bedroom, Taijiao Hall, a woman dressed as a concubine, wearing a gauze dress, knelt on the ground in front of the Emperor's bed, sobbing softly. She was originally the new concubine, Concubine Ning, who was invited to sleep with the Emperor tonight. She was very beautiful and was arranged by the Empress Dowager to sleep with the Emperor tonight. For some reason, she was kicked off the bed by the Emperor.

The emperor went into the study in the side hall angrily, as if he was going to review memorials.

The young emperor had just turned 25. The emperors of Wei had always been diligent and dedicated, and this emperor was no exception. Eight years ago, the old emperor of Wei wanted to expand his territory. He ignored the obstruction of the imperial teacher and personally led an army to attack the seemingly weak Zhao State. However, Zhao State had a man named Mu Yunxiao who defeated the old emperor of Wei in one fell swoop. The old emperor injured his left shoulder and was bedridden for two years.

Six years ago, the old emperor had just recovered from a shoulder injury and had unfulfilled ambitions. He asked the imperial master for advice on how to achieve hegemony. The imperial master pondered for a long time, then stamped his feet and said, "Seven years later, there will be a great disaster in the world, all things will wither, and all flowers will fall. The people will not be able to survive. The world will be in chaos, and heroes will emerge in troubled times. If my emperor seizes the opportunity, he will achieve hegemony."

The Emperor of Wei was overjoyed and asked how to plan.

The national teacher said: "If you want to achieve hegemony, you must collect three magic weapons. Only then can you open the treasure on the East Kunlun Mountain, take out the treasure in the gilded silver box with peony and double phoenix patterns, save the people, save the people from danger, unify the world, and achieve hegemony."

"These three treasures are: the Kongtong Mirror, the national treasure of the ancient Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions; the phoenix from Danxue Mountain in the 'Ship of Death' in the desert; and the thousand-year-old Yuandan from the 39th generation of the Nine-tailed Fox Princess of Qingqiu Mountain. To collect these three treasures, you need..."

Before the National Master could finish his words, a bolt of lightning struck him. Fortunately, the National Master had a high level of cultivation, so he only vomited blood and was seriously injured. He could not speak, nor move his hands. He had to practice in seclusion, and has not come out yet.

Five years ago, upon learning that the ancient Queen of Loulan in the Western Regions had sent envoys to the State of Zhao for marriage, they hijacked the envoys from the Western Regions en route to the State of Zhao, and a child even escaped during the escort.

It turned out that these envoys from the Western Regions were bringing Princess Aina of Loulan to marry into the State of Zhao.

The old Wei Emperor threatened and bribed: "It doesn't matter which country we marry. If you go to Zhao State instead of Wei State, isn't that a move away from the near?"

The envoys from the Western Regions said that they were following the orders of the empress and could not change them. The old Emperor of Wei wanted to find treasures from the empress, so he sent people to lobby. But when they arrived in the Western Regions, they found that the ancient kingdom of Loulan had disappeared overnight, and there was no empress at all.

In a rage, the old Emperor Wei killed all the envoys from the Western Regions, leaving only Princess Aina of Loulan, and forced her to marry him as his queen.

Princess Loulan refused to obey and on her wedding night, she stabbed the old emperor in the vitals with a hairpin knife. The new wound triggered the old illness, and the old emperor fell into a coma for several days and passed away.

The twenty-year-old new emperor Yang Yu ascended the throne.

The assassination of Princess Ayi Na of Loulan was ultimately a scandal and was kept secret, so she was eventually made queen mother.

The young Emperor of Wei was upset and flushed at this moment. He entered a secret passage from the secret door of the side hall, walked quickly in the secret passage, walked to the end, opened the entrance, and a gorgeous palace bedroom came into view.

The room is furnished with a large rosewood bed, huanghuali wood floors, rosewood screens with kingfisher feathers and flowers and birds, rosewood carved tables, incense tables and other furniture. The decoration is exquisite and magnificent.

Behind the lavender curtain, there was a person lying sideways, with long hair spread out, a fair face, long eyelashes, and half-open eyes. When he saw the person coming, he stood up.

Her deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, her facial features were delicate and beautiful, her lips were rosy and attractive, her slender and plump figure, and her every move had an exotic charm. As she had already gone to bed, she was only wearing a thin silk gauze dress, which made her look even more charming and attractive.

"You broke into my bedroom in the dead of night, Yang Yu. I am nominally your mother, but aren't you afraid that people will know and laugh at you?"

"Haha, what kind of mother are you? You are acting serious now. Was it you who put the incense in the Taijiao Hall?"

"So what? As the ruler of a country, you don't favor your own concubines and come to me every day. You..."

Before she could finish her words, her red lips were blocked. Yang Yu's face was full of anger: "Damn you, you actually dared to plot against me. Only you, a woman, can do that. It seems that I have spoiled you to the point of being lawless. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't learn your lesson..."

Yang Yu pulled off Ayi Na's gauze dress with a skilled and rough movement. Ayi Na supported herself with both hands and slowly closed her deep eyes...

Aina lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, unable to fall asleep. What happened five years ago seemed to reappear before her eyes.

Ayi Na was a princess adopted by the Queen of Loulan. She was regarded as the apple of her eye. She was the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions and was pursued by many admirers. Among the suitors was Prince Yuli, a brave man from the Western Regions. During this period, Loulan was invaded by the Rouran Khanate and was forced to marry it. The princess was betrothed to the Khan of Rouran. It happened that night that the princess was invited to meet the prince of Yuli secretly, but was found to have taken her back to the palace. The prince went as promised and mistakenly thought that a veiled woman was the Princess of Loulan. The woman was named Mona. Prince Yuli was amazed by Mona's beauty and developed a good impression of her. They often met in secret. Later, the Rouran Khanate broke the contract. The Queen led Prince Yuli to fight against the enemy and won a great victory. The king rewarded the prince and betrothed the princess to him. On the wedding night, the prince lifted the veil of Princess Ayi Na, but found that it was not her who met him every night, so he ran away, leaving the princess alone in the empty room. After Ayi Na knew the truth, she captured Mona and lied to others that she had buried her in a grave. When Prince Yuli learned about it, he immediately rushed to the grave and was heartbroken. He then committed suicide. The princess gave the prince's head to Mona. Mona was in great pain and decided to commit suicide. She recited the name of the god of death in Loulan and cursed Loulan forever. The curse was that Loulan would disappear from then on and become a desolate dead city. Soon, the water source of Lop Nur was completely cut off. People would have to abandon this ancient city due to lack of water. From then on, the ancient country of Loulan would slowly disappear.

Ayi Na regretted her actions and begged for forgiveness from Mona's spirit in heaven. The queen took out the Kongtong mirror, a national treasure, for divination. However, the divination indicated that only if Ayi Na married the war god of Zhao could the curse be lifted and Loulan be brought back to life.

Therefore, the Queen sent an envoy to take Aina and the little princess to the State of Zhao to find the God of War. Before leaving, the Queen Mother told her about the corpse oil made by the secret technique of the Western Regions. When applied to the tip of the tongue, the corpse oil can make the first man who kisses her fall in love with her and cannot stop.

The Queen Mother told her that after arriving in Zhao, she should do everything she could to marry the war god of Zhao, no matter what means. Apply corpse oil, kiss the war god, and make him fall in love with her, and all the problems of Loulan would be solved.

However, the envoys drank too much and revealed their whereabouts. When they were about to cross the border of Wei State and reach Zhao State, the Emperor of Wei State sent people to kidnap them and forced them to tell him where the national treasure Kongtong Mirror was.

In an emergency, Ayi Na recited a spell to shrink the Kongtong mirror, put it on the little princess' neck, and then rolled down the cliff with the princess. When she woke up, she found herself in the border of Wei State, but the little princess was nowhere to be found.
