Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

After waking up from his dream, the emperor slowly opened his eyes and looked around, but he did not see Ye Ling'er. He could not help but wonder, "Where did this little girl go?"

"Defu... Defu..." The emperor raised his voice and called out to Chen Defu, the chief eunuch waiting outside. The voice echoed in the empty palace with a bit of majesty.

Outside the door, the dozing eunuch Chen was startled by the sudden shout and woke up instantly. He hurriedly responded: "I am here! I am here! What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Change my clothes and get ready to go to court!" The emperor said in a crisp and decisive tone without any hesitation.

"As you command!" Eunuch Chen responded quickly and hurried into the bedroom. He quickly changed the emperor's dragon robe and tidied his clothes. When everything was ready, the emperor stood up, full of energy.

At this time, the two palace maids who were on night watch knelt respectfully on the ground and saluted the emperor to bid farewell. The emperor nodded expressionlessly, then walked towards the door of the palace. The sedan chair that had been waiting there steadily received the emperor, and the group headed towards the main hall...

At this moment, the sky was not yet bright, and the entire palace was still immersed in the tranquility before dawn.

Ye Ling'er was walking alone in the palace courtyard shrouded in the morning light, feeling depressed.

Unconsciously, she came to a quiet and mysterious palace. When she looked up, she suddenly found a plaque hanging above the palace gate, with the words "Ye Ting" written in a flamboyant style.

Ye Ling'er hesitated for a moment, but still gently pushed open the palace door. It was quiet inside, with no one in sight. She walked into the palace curiously and found that it was decorated quite elegantly, and it was obvious that someone had taken good care of it. Just as Ye Ling'er was looking around, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly hid behind a pillar. She saw a woman in plain clothes slowly approaching, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

The woman had a pretty face, but her expression seemed a little sad. She placed the flowers on the table and stared at them silently.

Ye Ling'er quietly observed the woman's actions, and an inexplicable sympathy surged in her heart. After the woman left, Ye Ling'er walked to the table and saw a yellowed piece of letter paper.

The handwriting on the letter was beautiful and charming, as if it was written by a woman.

She couldn't help but pick up the letter and read it. It turned out that the letter was written to a man she loved deeply, and the words were full of longing and pain.

Ye Ling'er couldn't help but be moved. She seemed to be able to feel the sadness deep in the woman's heart.

Ye Ling'er was about to leave, but accidentally stepped on the vase on the ground, making a crisp breaking sound.

"Who's there?" The woman rushed back upon hearing the sound and saw Ye Ling'er with a frightened look on her face.

Ye Ling'er hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I was just passing by here and accidentally broke in."

The woman looked her up and down, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Yang... Yunxi, why are you here?"

"I'm Ye Ling'er, and I look very similar to Yang Yunxi, right?" Ye Ling'er said.

The woman's face turned even paler. "I see..." She turned her head away, not wanting to look at Ye Ling'er again. "Go away, this is not the place for you."

Ye Ling'er noticed that she was in an abnormal mood and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The woman smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." After that, she turned and left.

Looking at her lonely back, Ye Ling'er was filled with questions. She decided to find out the identity and experience of this woman.

Ye Ling'er looked at Suo Da's palace, her heart full of doubts. She had been sent to the palace before, but she had never seen this woman before.

But obviously, from her words and expression, she must know Yunxi.

Ye Ling'er decided to ask the old man in the palace about the woman. After some twists and turns, she finally learned the woman's identity. It turned out that her name was Wang Murong, and she was once the queen of the dynasty.

However, because her father was imprisoned for committing a crime, and she was jealous that the emperor only favored other concubines, she poisoned the emperor with a slow-acting poison and was banished to the cold palace. From then on, she lived a lonely life.

After Ye Ling'er learned about the past of the former Queen Wang, she became more determined to maintain her status and wealth and glory in the palace.

After she learned this shocking news, she secretly planned a plan in her heart...

Ye Ling'er decided to visit Queen Wang, who was banished to the cold palace, again.

She dressed up carefully and came to the gate of the cold palace. After seeing Wang Murong, Ye Ling'er immediately put on a sympathetic and caring look, and said softly: "Sister is suffering in this cold palace, it really makes me feel distressed!" Then, she deliberately revealed to Wang Murong that she knew about the past between her and Yang Yunxi.

Wang Murong was originally wary of Ye Ling'er, but gradually he was moved by her apparent sincerity and began to relax his vigilance. As the conversation between the two deepened, Wang Murong developed a little trust in Ye Ling'er.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ye Ling'er cleverly hinted that if Wang Murong was willing to tell her more secrets about Yang Yunxi, then she had a way to help Wang Murong escape from the sea of ​​suffering and regain his freedom.

This proposal made Wang Murong, who had always longed to escape the torture of the cold palace, very excited. After some struggle, he finally agreed to Ye Ling'er's conditions.

From then on, Ye Ling'er often went to Ye Ting to meet with Wang Murong, and obtained a lot of information about Yang Yunxi from her.

On the other hand, Ye Linger did not forget to be extra attentive in front of the emperor, trying hard to show her gentle, considerate and understanding side, in an attempt to win more favor from the emperor.

Ye Ling'er carefully analyzed the information she got from Wang Murong. She felt that if she wanted to maintain a stable position in the palace, she must have a prince by her side.

So she worked out a series of careful plans. She used the intelligence provided by Queen Wang to successfully make the emperor trust her more and favor her.

As time went by, Ye Ling'er's position in the palace gradually became more stable. However, she did not forget her goal - to become the queen. In order to realize this ambition, she began to secretly plan a bigger conspiracy...

Ye Ling'er knew very well that in this deep palace, the emperor's favor alone was far from enough, she also needed some strong support.

So she began to look for suitable candidates and tried to win over some powerful ministers and nobles.

Soon, she established connections with several powerful ministers and made them her supporters through bribery and political manipulation.

With the assistance of these people, Ye Ling'er's power grew stronger and stronger.

At the same time, she did not relax her control over Wang Murong, and she often sent people to monitor Wang Murong's every move to ensure that she would not reveal her secrets.

Under Ye Ling'er's manipulation, Wang Murong completely lost his freedom and dignity and became a pawn in her hands.

As Ye Ling'er's plan is implemented step by step, she seems to be getting closer and closer to the throne of Queen...
