Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chun'er and Chu Qiao had just entered the palace when a guard hurried over, saying that the Emperor Wei wanted to see them. Not daring to delay, the two hurried towards the Qinzheng Hall.

When Chun'er entered the Qinzheng Hall, she saw the Emperor sitting at his desk, absorbed in processing a mountain of memorials. His brow furrowed, he would occasionally write a few notes with his red brush, then sink into deep thought.

Yuan Chun took a deep breath, stepped forward respectfully, and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Father!" However, the Emperor of Wei didn't even raise his head. He only asked sternly, "Chun'er, where have you been? Where did Yan Xun get the information that allowed him to escape from Kyoto so easily..."

Hearing the question from the Emperor of Wei, Yuan Chun's heart tightened, but she quickly regained her composure. A faint smile appeared on her face as she said, "Father, what's wrong with you? I've just been feeling depressed lately, so I went out to the suburbs to relax..."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Wei slowly put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and stared at Yuan Chun with a sharp gaze, and asked again: "Does Yan Xun's escape really have nothing to do with you?"

Yuan Chun was slightly stunned, seemingly a little surprised by the question from the Emperor Wei, but she quickly reacted and said with a bewildered look on her face, "Brother Yan Xun escaped? Father, what exactly happened? I have no idea about this!"

Emperor Wei snorted coldly, and said with an increasingly cold expression: "Chun'er, don't act recklessly anymore! Think carefully about your mother. If this matter is really related to you, I'm afraid even she will be implicated... Well, you should leave first!" After that, Emperor Wei waved his hand to signal Yuan Chun to leave.

Yuan Chun nodded helplessly, bowed once more, and slowly walked out of the hall. Once outside, she glanced around to make sure no one was watching. Then, quietly pulling out a delicate little box from her bosom, she handed it to the eunuch beside her, lowering her voice and instructing, "Your Majesty, your father has been deeply troubled by the events of Yanbei lately and must be having trouble sleeping. Tonight, place the contents of this box in a sleeping incense. It will help your father sleep. Remember, do not let anyone else know!"

The eunuch took the box and said carefully, "I understand, master!" Then, Yuan Chun took Chu Qiao and left the place quickly, leaving the eunuch standing there, looking at their receding backs thoughtfully.

On the way back to her palace, Chu Qiao asked Princess Yuan Chun, who looked grave beside her, with concern: "Princess, what happened? You look worried."

Yuan Chun frowned and said in a low voice: "The emperor has become suspicious of me. I'm afraid that this imperial city is about to be in turmoil!" Her tone was full of worry and uneasiness.

Chu Qiao couldn't help but show worry on her face, and asked anxiously, "Princess, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will suddenly attack you?"

Yuan Chun smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his smile. He replied softly: "After tonight, my father will be seriously ill and I'm afraid he will no longer have the energy to deal with me."

Chu Qiao was thoughtful after hearing this. After a moment of silence, she hesitantly asked, "Could it be the box that the princess gave to the eunuch just now?"

Yuan Chun nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

Meanwhile, Yuwen Zhuo, after listening to his grandson's advice and carefully considering his fate, finally decided to feign a serious illness. If he were unable to recover, his granddaughter, Yuwen Yue, would have ample reason to refuse to serve the emperor. This way, once the situation stabilized and the turmoil subsided, the Yuwen family might be able to escape this disaster unscathed. The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into Emperor Wei's chambers, but he failed to awaken from his usual sleep. This sudden change instantly plunged the entire palace into chaos and panic.

The palace maids panicked, running around to tell each other the news, while the eunuchs anxiously sought information. Yet, amidst this chaos, Yuan Chun appeared remarkably calm. She sat quietly at her dressing table, gently stroking the exquisite bracelet on her wrist, her eyes gazing into the distance, as if lost in thought.

The court was already a turmoil. The princes and ministers were engaged in a fierce debate over the succession to the throne, each arguing with their own views and refusing to yield. However, Yuan Chun had foreseen all this. She knew this debate would not end easily, and all she had to do was wait patiently.

She was waiting for Yan Shicheng to lead his army into the capital, and at the same time, she was also waiting for those with ill intentions to reveal their flaws. After all, the imperial guards were now firmly under her control, and with the full support of the Yuwen family and Yan Shicheng, she believed her chances of victory were quite good.

The ministers argued in the court for days, still without a clue. Seeing the situation growing increasingly tense, Yuan Chun finally decided to take action. With a single command, she had the imperial guards surround the palace, and then, with Chu Qiao in tow, she entered with her head held high.

The once bustling hall suddenly quieted down upon seeing Yuan Chun suddenly appear. The Prime Minister was the first to come to his senses. He frowned and said sternly, "Princess, this is the court, not your place! Please leave immediately!"

Yuan Chun smiled faintly, not taking the Prime Minister's words to heart. She looked around, her eyes sweeping over the other princes, and asked softly, "Do my brothers think the same?" After that, she ignored the surprised looks of the crowd and walked straight towards the throne.

Seeing Yuan Chun about to sit on the dragon throne that symbolized supreme power, Yuan Song, who had been silent all this time, could not help but shout, "Chun'er, do you really want this throne?"

Hearing Yuan Song's question, Yuan Chun slowly turned around and replied with a firm look in her eyes: "Yes, I want the throne!" Before she finished speaking, she turned around and sat down without hesitation.

At this moment, heavy and rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall. The sound came from far away and approached, as if every step was treading on people's heartstrings. Everyone's heart tightened and they looked in the direction of the sound.

Yan Shicheng, clad in a black battle robe, entered the hall with a majestic presence. Following closely beside him was his son, Yan Xun. Both walked with a vigorous and imposing demeanor. With his head held high and his gaze blazing, Yan Shicheng strode straight toward the center of the hall.

When he walked in front of everyone, Yan Shicheng stopped, his bright eyes looked around at everyone present, and then he suddenly said: "I support Princess Yuan Chun to ascend the throne!" His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in the empty hall for a long time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuwen Zhuo, who had been silent the entire time, slowly stood up. He stroked his graying beard and spoke slowly, "My Yuwen family has always been loyal, and we will naturally support the princess with all our strength this time. My Yuwen family will be the princess's strongest backing..."

Upon hearing this, the already solemn expressions of the princes turned pale. Not long ago, they had received news that the Northwest Army, led by Yan Shicheng, had quietly stationed outside the city. Now it seemed that this was clearly premeditated.

Yuan Chun stood there quietly, dressed in a gorgeous palace gown and a phoenix crown, appearing noble and elegant. Her beautiful eyes swept across the crowd, finally resting on the terrified princes. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Then, Yuan Chun gently opened her red lips and said in a slow voice, "I came here today not to seek your opinion, but to inform you of this decision! Where are the Imperial Guards?"

At her command, the sound of swords being drawn echoed in unison. In the blink of an eye, a group of armored guards, wielding long swords, poured into the hall like a tide, instantly surrounding the entire palace. Each of these guards was burly and had a stern expression. The long swords in their hands flashed with a cold light, creating a formidable aura.

I don’t know which minister started it, but suddenly someone knelt on his knees and shouted, "Greetings to the Emperor..." Then, like dominoes, more and more ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Greetings to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" For a moment, the shouts in the hall resounded through the sky and were deafening.

In this way, amid the worship of the people, Yuan Chun officially ascended the throne and became the first female emperor in the history of the Wei Dynasty.

In the days that followed, Yuan Chun demonstrated remarkable ruthlessness, quickly stabilizing the turbulent court. She vigorously implemented various reforms, rectified the administration, and strengthened the military, gradually restoring the country to its former prosperity and stability.

In her personal life, Yuan Chun finally got married to Yuwen Yue as she wished. Shortly after the marriage, Yuan Chun discovered that she was pregnant. This good news filled the entire palace with joy.

Yuan Chun knew the weight of her mother's responsibility, so she was determined to raise her unborn child well. She often caressed her growing belly, silently planning their future. As her pregnancy progressed, Yuan Chun's love for her child grew deeper.

Finally, after a long ten-month wait, Yuan Chun successfully gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl—Prince Yuan Chen and Princess Yuan Xi. Looking at the two little lives in their cradles, Yuan Chun felt immense happiness and satisfaction.

Time flew by, and soon the two children reached their fifteenth birthday. On this day, Yuan Chun made a surprising decision: she would abdicate and pass the throne to her eldest son, Yuan Chen. Yuan Chun believed that with her years of careful guidance, Yuan Chen would become an outstanding monarch.

After abdicating, Yuan Chun did not stop there. Instead, he embarked on a journey to travel around the mountains and rivers of Wei with his mother and his beloved Yuwen Yue. Along the way, they enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers, the local customs and people, and the joy of family life.
