Traveling through the ancient times

During the years of internal strife in the Xiliang royal family, several of the Xiliang King's sons have been killed, and now only the third prince and the fifth prince, as well as some young sons, are left.

The health of the King of Xiliang was getting worse and worse. All the ministers in the court wrote to the King of Xiliang requesting him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible. However, the King of Xiliang became more suspicious. He thought that everyone was hoping that he would die soon so that they could get his throne, so he would not appoint a crown prince and let them kill each other so that they would not pose a threat to him.

The imperial court was not stable, and coupled with the turmoil caused by the people's uprising, the Western Liang Kingdom was already on the verge of collapse.

The Xiliang royal family only cared about their own enjoyment, while the soldiers in the army could not even get enough food. The soldiers complained and the generals were miserable.

Today, three generals with military power gathered in General Qilin's mansion. They were all loyal and patriotic people who sacrificed their lives to defend the Xiliang Kingdom in the past.

Now, they couldn't bear the fact that the King of Xiliang was getting older and more incompetent. They didn't want to see the territory they had guarded all their lives being squandered by that group of people.

General Qilin was brave and resourceful on the battlefield, decisive in killing, and extremely caring towards his soldiers, and he enjoyed a high prestige in the army.

"General Qilin, we are willing to support you as king and together we will destroy this incompetent and lawless dynasty."

"Yes, General, we can't watch the country we have guarded for our entire lives being messed up by those guys."

"Millions of our soldiers are starving in the barracks, while their masters are enjoying the best food and drink in their uteruses, and they are still fighting among themselves without knowing what is good for them. What am I supposed to do to protect them?

We conquered the country ourselves, so it is better to let one of our own sit on the throne." General Tie Niu was famous for his bad temper, and his saliva flew everywhere when he spoke.

"Yes, General, don't hesitate!"

"Well, since we all have the same goal, then this general will work with you to seek justice for all the soldiers in the army." Seeing that the time was almost right, General Qilin accepted the letters of surrender handed over by other generals.

"Then let's discuss carefully what to do next." Several generals discussed for several days in General Qilin's mansion and finally decided on a plan.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was General Tie Niu's father-in-law. He had long been dissatisfied with the King of Xiliang's excessive debauchery. His daughter sent a letter saying that General Qilin wanted to unite with several border generals to start an army.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue quickly went to his son-in-law's house and expressed his willingness to support them. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said that there were several other ministers in the court who shared the same idea as him, and made a list and gave it to General Tie Niu. If necessary, they could ask these people for help, which could be considered as internal and external cooperation.

However, the imperial city army was the personal guard of King Xiliang. The first step they had to take to break into the palace was to open the imperial city gate. When General Qilin and his men were discussing how to break down the imperial city gate, the guards in the palace delivered them an anonymous letter.

"General, this was delivered to the door by a child." The guard handed the letter to General Qilin.

Several people looked at the letter in General Qilin's hand, and were wondering who would send them the letter at this critical moment and what the content was?

General Qilin sent a letter with only a short sentence on it, "General, just attack, and someone will open the gate of the imperial city for you."

After General Qilin finished reading it, he passed it to the other generals. After everyone read it one by one, they were shocked and said, "I wonder who sent this and whether it can be trusted?"

This letter was written by Lu Mingqian. The reason why his people were able to assassinate the Prince of Xiliang so easily and put the blame on General Yongfu was because he had people in the imperial army.

Everyone thought about it and said, "No matter who sent us, we have to break the city gate. We should act according to the situation. If someone really opens the city gate, that would be great. If no one opens the gate for us, we will attack directly according to the previous plan."

"Yes!" Everyone went back to prepare, and when the time came, they would immediately launch an attack.

In the Xiliang Palace, Concubine Xi was holding a bowl of bird's nest soup and feeding the Xiliang King one spoonful at a time.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the taste of today's bird's nest soup?"

Prince Xiliang lay on the bed, swallowed a mouthful of bird's nest soup, and showed Concubine Xi a rare smile, "Not bad!"

"Since Your Majesty thinks it's good, then eat more. From now on, Your Majesty may never be able to eat it again." Concubine Xi said in a soft voice, which shocked the King of Xiliang.

The King of Xiliang knocked the bird's nest soup out of Concubine Xi's hand, his eyes bloodshot, "What do you mean? What did you feed me?"

Concubine Xi looked at the frightened and fierce look of the King of Xiliang, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Of course, what I gave His Majesty was bird's nest soup. What else did Your Majesty think it was?"

If the King of Xiliang had spoken to Concubine Xi like this in the past, Concubine Xi would have been so scared that she would crawl on the ground and dare not breathe. But today she was not afraid. She wanted to put an end to this heartless and cold-blooded king with her own hands.

Imperial Concubine Xi was the biological mother of the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince was only ten years old, at the right age to be naughty. What a well-behaved and lovely child. The day before, he said to her, "Mother, I will draw a portrait for you tomorrow. The Imperial Tutor said that I have a talent for painting and my portraits are very lifelike."

She also picked out a new set of clothes, got up early in the morning and put on beautiful makeup, and waited happily for her son to come and paint her portrait. However, what she waited for was the sad news that her son had been sentenced to death.

Only one night after returning home, the Sixth Prince was framed by the Third Prince. She knelt outside the hall and begged the King of Xiliang for three days and three nights, saying that her son was innocent and was framed. However, the King of Xiliang would not listen and sentenced her ten-year-old son to death based solely on the one-sided statement of the Third Prince.

She had been in the palace for fifteen years and had finally given birth to a son. She and her son had never thought about the throne. She just wanted her son to live a peaceful life, but the third prince still refused to let them go.

Her son was gone, and her support was gone. She cried and made a fuss, but the King of Xiliang not only did not comfort her, he also put her under house arrest. How could she still want to live?

But she was unwilling to accept it. Why did they have to die when they did nothing, while the people who harmed them could live in high esteem? This was unfair.

She waited and waited, and just yesterday, a palace maid came to her and told her that she could be taken to see the king. Concubine Xi knew the purpose of those people, they just wanted to use her to get close to the King of Xiliang, but she didn't care. She was even very grateful to them for giving her the opportunity to avenge her son.

The palace maid brought her a bowl of bird's nest soup and asked her to feed it to the King of Xiliang so that her son's revenge would be avenged.

Concubine Xi took the basket handed to her by the palace maid without any hesitation and went to the bedroom of King Xiliang.

The King of Xiliang was lying on the couch, breathing out more than breathing in. Lu Mingqian's people had already made arrangements, so Concubine Xi entered the King of Xiliang's bedroom smoothly.

Looking at the King of Xiliang lying on the couch, there was no affection in Concubine Xi's eyes, only overwhelming hatred.

The King of Xiliang noticed someone coming and turned to look at the person standing at the door, "It's you!"

Concubine Xi hid the hatred in her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth and walked over, "Yes, Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here specially to see you."

"I have been ill for such a long time. I never thought that you would be the first one to come to see me. Don't you blame me?"

"You are my heaven. Since you are ill, I have to come and visit you. I have even personally prepared bird's nest soup for you. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Concubine Xi did not answer the question from King Xiliang whether she blamed him. He killed her son and she wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. But he was hypocritically asking her whether she blamed him. It was ridiculous!

Concubine Xi brought out the bird's nest soup from the basket and carefully fed it to King Xiliang one spoonful at a time, just as when she had just entered the palace and was sick in bed, King Xiliang also carefully fed her medicine one spoonful at a time.

He must have loved her at that time!

But her heart and eyes have always been filled with this man. In this cannibalistic palace, she just wants to protect him and her son. She feels that her life is complete.

But it was also him who shattered her perfect dream.

Since he is so afraid of death and is reluctant to give up the throne, she will shatter his dream and let them die together!
