When the court officials heard this, they felt that their interests were in unprecedented danger...

My plan fell through...

The faces of some court officials suddenly turned gloomy. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing anxiety and uneasiness. One of the officials said softly, "What should we do? We must find a way to stop this."

Another echoed, "If he succeeds, our position will be in jeopardy." At this moment, a young official stepped forward. His gaze was determined as he declared, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must quickly contact the other ministers and discuss a countermeasure."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and a secret meeting began in the palace.

Nangong Ye Chenxuan knew that these people had no good ideas, so he just wanted to send his daughter to his bed.

You have to give it to me whether you agree or not.

I will not let my Crown Princess down. It took a lot of effort to get my son...

No matter what I say, I can't scare him away again...

In a secret meeting, the ministers discussed countermeasures. Someone suggested secretly assassinating Ye Chenxuan, but was immediately opposed by others.

"This method is too risky. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Why don't we start with the people around him..." All of a sudden, all kinds of plans came to mind.

Nangong Ye Chenxuan, having already anticipated their actions, decided to exploit their tactic and lure out the mastermind.

That night, Ye Chenxuan deliberately revealed his whereabouts, giving the assassin an opportunity to strike. However, everything was under his control.

When the assassins attacked, Ye Chenxuan easily subdued them and obtained important clues through interrogation.

"So it's you..." Ye Chenxuan's eyes were filled with anger, and he was determined to make these people pay the price.

The morning sun streamed through the window lattice, shimmering upon Liu Yunrou, but she remained unresponsive, still peacefully asleep. A maid beside her gently nudged her shoulder, whispering to wake her: "Miss, it's time to pay your respects to the Empress." Liu Yunrou struggled to open her eyes, as if dragged by an invisible force. She slowly rose and combed her tangled hair, appearing weary. Then, supported by her maid, she slowly made her way to the Empress's chambers. Each step felt heavy and feeble, as if her body and soul were still lingering in a dream.

Liu Yunrou's heartbeat grew increasingly rapid, and her hands trembled slightly, as if the handkerchief in her hands would be shredded by her nervousness. The thought of meeting the Queen brought back terrifying scenes from novels. Would the Queen, displeased with her marrying the Crown Prince, harbor resentment towards her, perhaps even attempting to poison her?

Her pace slowed, each step feeling like treading on the edge of a knife. As the palace gate drew closer, her fear grew deeper. She couldn't help but imagine the queen's stern expression and cold gaze, as if she could feel the invisible pressure bearing down on her.

Liu Yunrou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She told herself that this was just her imagination, and that the queen wouldn't necessarily be as vicious as described in the novel. But the fear in her heart was like a shadow, always shrouding her, making it difficult for her to shake it off.

Entering the Queen's bedroom, Liu Yunrou lowered her head, not daring to look the Queen in the eye. "Greetings, Her Majesty." Her voice trembled slightly.

The queen looked at her with a smile and said in a kind tone, "Get up, no need to be so polite."

Liu Yunrou felt relieved. It seemed that the Queen had no ill intentions. Over the next few minutes, the Queen chatted with Liu Yunrou about family matters and inquired about her life. Gradually, Liu Yunrou let go of her guard and began to talk with the Queen.

After leaving the Queen's chambers, Liu Yunrou felt cheerful. She realized that the plots in novels didn't necessarily happen in reality, and she couldn't always be influenced by fictional stories. However, she didn't know that a greater crisis was quietly approaching...
