Bringing love across time and space

Chapter 362 Seeking power and usurping the throne

The gift-giving session slowly came to an end, and inside the magnificent hall,

The flickering candlelight illuminates faces that are either happy or sad.

The prince slowly raised his glass. His voice was clear and firm, penetrating the slightly heavy air in the hall:

"I wish the Royal Grandmother a happy and prosperous life every year! May the Royal Grandmother enjoy long-lasting blessings and eternal health."

After saying this, the prince drank the wine in the cup in a leisurely manner. His determination and respect moved everyone present.

Then, the second prince, Prince Yao, with his brows revealing unruly and arrogant,

He also raised his glass and followed the prince, pouring the wine generously into his throat.

It seems as if all ambitions and aspirations can be integrated into this sweet wine.

Then, the fourth prince, Prince Wei, had a deep and reserved look in his eyes.

With a faint smile on his face, he also completed the toasting ceremony.

Princesses, ministers, and even families at all levels followed suit.

For a moment, the hall was filled with the aroma of wine, and laughter and joyful chatter intertwined into a series of warm yet solemn pictures.

However, the joyful atmosphere did not last long. As a melodious yet solemn music sounded,

The performance session quietly began.

A group of women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked lightly into the center of the hall, like flowers blooming in spring.

Their graceful figures and elegant dance steps made them look like fairies descending to earth, adding a touch of fantasy and mystery to the feast.

The guests in the hall cast admiring glances, immersed in this beautiful dance.

However, just as this group of women were dancing, a sudden incident broke the tranquility and beauty.

A woman, under the cover of dancing, suddenly drew out a soft sword from her body.

Like a silver lightning, it pierced straight towards Emperor Yuan Jin who was sitting high up.

This sudden change caught everyone in the hall off guard.

Emperor Yuan Jin was even more shocked and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this critical moment,

The fourth prince, Prince Wei, stepped forward like a solid shield and stood in front of Emperor Yuan Jin.

The sharp soft sword cut a shocking bloody mark on the King of Wei's solid chest.

But his eyes were as firm as ever, with no intention of retreating.

He kicked the assassin away, and the assassin bit the poison in his mouth and died on the spot.

This action of King Wei not only won the admiration and moved everyone present, but also brought an indescribable warmth to Emperor Yuan Jin's heart.

King Yao was secretly anxious when he saw this.

He didn't expect things to develop to this point, and he didn't expect that the Fourth Prince, King Wei, would stand up so courageously.

Faced with this sudden change, King Yao knew that he could no longer sit idly by.

He walked quickly to Emperor Yuan Jin's side, forcibly helped the emperor up, and explained to everyone:

"Father was just frightened, so I need to help him go back and rest first."

However, Emperor Yuan Jin was the ruler of a country after all, and he already knew the truth of all this.

He shouted angrily outside the palace: "Come, take this evil boy down for me!"

The only response he got was the empty hall and the echo hanging in the air.

Emperor Yuan Jin's heart sank. He understood that his authority had been seriously challenged and weakened at this moment.

Just when he was feeling discouraged, the fourth prince, Prince Wei, gave him a subtle look.

Then, the King of Wei winked at a general.

The general immediately understood and nodded to the King of Wei.

Then, the King of Wei shouted loudly: "Come and protect me!" As his shout fell,

A group of guards holding long swords rushed into the hall like divine soldiers descended from heaven, their target was King Yao.

King Yao was shocked when he saw this. He did not expect that the fourth prince, King Wei, would have such a thorough layout and preparation.

However, faced with this sudden attack, King Yao did not choose to sit and wait for death.

He fought hard against the warriors' attacks.

While shouting loudly: "Come on, take them all down!" However,

What responded to him was still the empty hall and endless silence.

King Yao knew in his heart that he was now in a desperate situation.

He stared with wide eyes, looking at the Fourth Prince, King Wei, in disbelief, his eyes filled with anger, unwillingness and despair.

He couldn't understand why his plan was discovered by the King of Wei?

Why did everything I had carefully planned end up like this?

Just then, the Princess of the Western Regions walked in from outside the palace.

Her appearance brought a hint of coolness to this tense and depressing hall.

The moment King Yao saw her, he seemed to see the last hope.

He quickly made a feint and walked over, saying almost beggingly: "I knew you had a backup plan. Take them down quickly!"

However, the Princess of the Western Regions simply looked at him with disdain, her eyes full of ridicule and contempt.

She said slowly: "Idiot, do you think I really cooperate with you? I am just using you!"

These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing into King Yao's heart.

He stared at the Princess of the Western Regions with eyes wide open, his eyes full of disbelief and despair.

Finally, King Yao was completely defeated by anger and despair.

Like a mad beast, he drew the sword from his waist and stabbed at the Princess of the Western Regions.

However, before his sword touched the edge of the clothes of the Princess of the Western Regions, she counterattacked with an exquisite sword technique.

The long sword drew a graceful arc in the air like a silver dragon.

Finally, it stopped steadily on King Yao's chest.

King Yao's body was trembling slightly. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the Princess of the Western Regions.

His eyes were filled with reluctance and despair, as if he wanted to imprint all of this deeply in his memory.

However, everything is irreversible.

His life flame was completely extinguished at this moment.

His body fell weakly to the ground, but his eyes were still wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

The Princess of the Western Regions looked at King Yao lying on the ground, with a complicated look in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, then turned around and shouted to the ministers in the hall:

"Now your emperor has been frightened, I will help him to rest!" However,

Before she finished speaking, she was strongly opposed by the ministers.

They all stood up, walked to the Western Region Princess, and said with a firm look:

"When did it become your turn in the Western Regions to take charge of our Dayan affairs?"

This sentence broke the silence in the hall like a flash of lightning, and also ignited the anger and dignity in the hearts of the ministers.

The Princess of the Western Regions looked at these ministers with some surprise.

She found that there was no longer the confusion and dejection in their eyes.

On the contrary, their eyes were full of determination and strength.

She knew in her heart that she was indeed careless this time.

These ministers should have been cured, but those who were once addicted to opium,

He also seemed to have kicked his drug addiction and regained his sanity.

That’s not right. Didn’t these ministers drink alcohol? Is there no cartilage powder in the wine?

That’s right, the poisonous insects in these ministers were cured by Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen last night!

There was nothing wrong with the drinks at the banquet, no one drank any cartilage powder!

Faced with this sudden change, the Princess of the Western Regions was secretly anxious.

She knew she was in a desperate situation and there was no other way out.

He could only fight head-on with the ministers of Dayan.

However, she knew in her heart that she was probably in great danger this time.
