Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Nan Yingzhi felt that what he said made sense. Instead of worrying about how chaotic the battlefield was, it would be better to control the capital first and take the imperial guards into their possession.

"Qingchuan'er," she pecked his cheek gently, "You relieve my worries. I feel as if I'm wrapped up in you, soft and happy."

"Hmm," Yun Ji felt numb and tingling. He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. "Little Gardenia, what is it?"

The sun sets early in late autumn. In addition, they are currently on a plain with open space around them. They can see the colorful clouds in the sky at a glance.

"Look up," pointing to the white clouds that had not yet been stained by the sunset glow, Nan Yingzhi patiently explained, "It is a kind of candy that looks like clouds and has a soft texture.

"Usually, it's this white one, which is the 'original flavor'," she paused, and moved her finger to the clouds dyed red by the sunset glow, "but there are also pink and blue ones, and the color is different for each flavor.

“Where I live, I can occasionally see vendors pushing carts and selling their wares on the street.

"Ah, I loved it when I was a kid, and I still love it now, but it's a pity that it's not available here."

Even though Yunji felt uncomfortable in his abdomen as a reflex when hearing the word "sugar", he still insisted and continued the topic with her: "Can you do this?"

Nan Yingzhi only attributed this thing to childhood memories of "I often ate it when I was a child, but never saw it when I grew up". She was only responsible for eating it and never thought about learning from a master in this area.

Faced with Yun Ji's obvious curiosity, she felt reluctant to let him down for a moment.

He seemed to be extremely curious about everything about himself.

Nan Yingzhi really didn't know the production process, so she hesitated for a while, but finally told the truth: "No."

Although it was expected that little Gardenia would not be able to make it and could not make it for herself, Yun Ji still felt a little disappointed when he heard it with his own ears.

Seeing him lower his eyes, looking a little melancholy, Nan Yingzhi stroked his hair and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

Even though he knew that this "tang" was sweet, Yun Ji still wanted to "try it" when he heard Nan Yingzhi like it.

"Xiao Zhizi, I want to try what you like," he shrank into her arms and sighed softly, "It's a pity that I don't have that blessing."

Yun Ji's tone was so firm that Nan Yingzhi didn't remember for a moment that he couldn't eat sweets.

"Don't be sad," she couldn't bear to see him being listless, so she racked her brains to coax him, "Making it is not difficult. As long as we are determined, we will be able to do it one day."

Seeing that he was determined to eat, Nan Yingzhi made a promise: "Once you are settled, I will do some research, okay?"

"Okay," Yun Ji rubbed her chin and changed the subject, "But the situation in the capital is changing rapidly. Now, we have to speed up our pace back to Beijing."

"According to your."

After kissing the corner of his eye passionately, Nan Yingzhi freed her left hand and beckoned Song Cheng to come closer.

Seeing that Song Cheng only had the courage to approach him reluctantly due to the intimate posture between her and Yun Ji, she waved her sleeves and gave a direct order: "Pass the order, speed up."

Song Cheng did not dare to be negligent and replied "Yes", then sent the guards to pass on the order.

Following Nan Yingzhi's imagination, they hurried back to the capital at exactly 4:44 in the morning, and it was still dark.

Originally, Yun Ji was held in Nan Yingzhi's arms with one hand and fell asleep in her arms.

Hearing the noise around him, he yawned and woke up slowly.

In order to prevent any changes in the harem, the Queen Mother has secretly taken control of the government in the capital. As soon as Nan Yingzhi arrived, she ordered Yang Ling to go to the Imperial Army training ground to check the situation.

Unexpectedly, just after she finished instructing Yang Ling, the man in her arms was woken up. She pulled her cloak in front of her to block the wind for him: "Are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No need." After only a few hours of rest, Yun Ji was inevitably tired. But seeing that they were heading to the palace, Yun Ji tried his best to resist the urge to sleep. "I want to see you in person, ascending to that high position."

"You still have to train the Imperial Guards today, and you must set out tomorrow morning at the latest to reinforce the front line," Nan Yingzhi laughed briefly, "Get some sleep first, and I'll wake you up when I sit on the throne."

Feeling that what she said made sense, Yun Ji stopped trying to hold on. He said "hmm", closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.

In order not to disturb him, Nan Yingzhi stopped his men in front of the palace and sent a team of elite soldiers to explore the way in.

After receiving their sign language reply that "there is no movement from the Queen Mother, she seems to be sleeping", she waved her hand forward, signaling the troops behind her to march forward.

Quietly, he ordered his men to search every corner of the imperial palace in order to completely occupy the Forbidden City. Nan Yingzhi intended to capture the empress dowager, so he rode towards the Cining Palace.

It was still dark and the Queen Mother was still resting. When she heard the noise outside, she didn't understand what was going on.

The palace door was kicked open. She squinted her blurry eyes and saw many torches surrounding her. The face on the dragon robe had changed.

"you--"

The Queen Mother was about to ask a question, but Ling Yu was afraid that she would wake up the prince in Miss Nan's arms, so she quickly covered her mouth.

The empress dowager looked around and didn't see Yun Ting. She became panicked. Even though her mouth was blocked, she made a "woohoo" sound and gestured the word "Yun Ting" with her hands.

Nan Yingzhi had anticipated that she would ask about Yun Ting's whereabouts, so she signaled Lingfeng with her expression to let him hand the note she had prepared to the Queen Mother.

[Yun Ting is dead. You should drink this heartbreaking water and go to reunite with him.]

The empress dowager was unable to accept the death of her beloved son. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and stared at Nan Yingzhi with a fierce look.

Seeing that she was indeed extremely angry and struggling desperately, Nan Yingzhi turned her head and let Lingfeng hand her the second note.

[I am reluctant to kill women, but if you don't move after I count to three, don't blame me for being ruthless.]

After scanning the note at a glance, the empress dowager saw Ling Feng beside Nan Yingzhi, who stretched out three fingers, then retracted one after a second and silently "counted" for her.

The empress dowager had seen many storms and waves, so she did not tremble as she pulled out the cork from the bottle. Instead, she raised her head and angrily stared at the enemy who had killed her son.

Seeing that she was determined to do so, Nan Yingzhi closed her eyes and made a "take action" expression.

Ling Yu raised his sword and slashed it down. The former empress dowager fell to the ground silently and stopped breathing.

The sky began to lighten, and the capital city, which had been sleeping in the darkness, welcomed the dawn.

As winter approached, the late autumn wind brought a lot of chill. Nan Yingzhi estimated that it was almost time to go to court, so she lowered her head and gave Yunji a sweet kiss to wake him up.

"Qingchuan'er," she said with gentle eyes in the dim morning light, "Watch me go and sit on the throne."

The ministers who had not yet followed the group and participated in the autumn hunt had already learned from their colleagues about the rumor of "a change of ownership of the country".

At 2:15 a.m., they suppressed all distracting thoughts in their minds and, led by Shen Xi, expressed their submission to the new emperor on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live—"

Although Chang Yu, as Nan Yi's personal soldier, was not qualified to join the court to discuss matters, Nan Yingzhi had not forgotten the war in the north without his reminder.

The situation was critical, so she didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and quickly got to the point of "sending reinforcements."

Upon hearing that the front line was defeated, the Beishuo army launched a frenzied counterattack and pushed the battle line to the border between the two countries, and the ministers were secretly shocked.

This battle, which cost them a lot of money, has dragged on for such a long time, and they still haven't won. If it drags on any longer, it will be bad!

Some cowards were already thinking about how they would pack up and run away if the Beishuo army attacked.

Seeing that they were avoiding each other's eyes and had ulterior motives, and could not recommend anyone for a long time, Nan Yingzhi acted according to the original plan.

She had already planned with Yun Ji and asked him to wait outside, ready to come in at any time. She turned her head and whispered instructions to Gao Shu.

Eager to show his loyalty, Gao Shu followed her instructions and shouted at the top of his voice: "Announce, Nan family's daughter enters the palace——"
