I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

At the beginning, her father forced her to choose King Qi, claiming that only in this way could she ascend to the supreme position.

Faced with such a choice, she had no choice, because the desire deep in her heart had been ignited and her heart was moved.

In the martial arts world, many young talents expressed their love to her, eager to marry her. However, compared with that supreme position, how could these people compare with it?

When she entered the palace, she witnessed the emperor's peerless beauty and his noble status with her own eyes. At that moment, she fell deeply in love with the emperor.

Even if she was only to become a concubine, she was willing to do so. She no longer wanted to be the prince of Qi's concubine, and her only wish was to become the emperor's woman.

She looked out the window worriedly...

at the same time

"Capital, the King is finally back!"

A carriage slowly moved forward, and from within it came a voice of ecstasy. Inside this carriage sat none other than the King of Qi—Xiao Junwen.

In order to regain the throne, he harbored great desires, developed in a low-key manner, bore honor and disgrace, and worked hard to take back what belonged to him!

He is too difficult.

"Fifteen years, a full fifteen years!

Royal brother, do you know how I have been through the past fifteen years?

You enjoy being surrounded by people, having many wives and concubines, and you can rule the world with a wave of your hand.

But I was kicked out to my fiefdom by your imperial decree, and I have no way to return to the capital.

You are cruel and ruthless enough!

You will never return the throne to me until you die."

Xiao Junwen suppressed his excitement and asked calmly, "Xiao Ye, is everything arranged?"

"My Lord, everything has been arranged. The first 10,000 elite troops who arrived in the capital have already dispersed and are awaiting orders.

Forty thousand elite soldiers were waiting for orders and had already been stationed at various gates of the capital, ready to go.

As long as the master takes action, we can suddenly launch a surprise attack into the capital city! It will be absolutely foolproof." Xiao Ye explained everything in detail, his words full of excitement.

"Yeah." Xiao Junwen nodded.

Then, he frowned, wondering why he was always uneasy lately.

No matter what, the arrow is on the string and must be shot!

Moreover, the power accumulated in his hands is already sufficient! Success or failure depends on this one move!

"Gee!" The carriage entered the city from the west gate under the cover of night.

The busy days passed quickly, and soon the palace welcomed New Year's Eve. It was also the first New Year since Xiao Mohan took power.

As night fell, colorful silks were woven around the pillars and palace lanterns were hung high. The palace was ablaze with lights, creating a festive atmosphere.

The New Year’s Eve banquet is held in Cheng’en Hall.

Dignitaries arrived one after another, dressed solemnly yet festively. The ladies and young ladies were all vying with each other for beauty on the way to Cheng'en Hall, all of them looking gorgeous and graceful.

At this moment, Xiao Mohan came to Fengluan Palace to pick up Su Yuer and go to Cheng'en Palace to attend the palace banquet.

"Husband, are the arrangements complete?" Su Yu'er asked Xiao Mohan as he stepped into the inner hall.

Xiao Mohan came to her side and said, "We've already prepared everything. We're just waiting for them to take action so that we can catch them in the trap." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Mohan's eyes, and he said coldly.

"That's good! I'm afraid I can't help my husband today."

Xiao Mohan supported her and slowly stood up from the bed. "Madam, just watch. I have set up a barrier around Cheng'en Hall. As long as they come in, they can stay."

Then he said: "At this time, the fifth prince has already mobilized the guards of the capital. Ye Bing cooperated with the fifth prince to capture the rebels outside the city gate; Mo Xuan also took the Dragon Guards and hid outside the palace. I am enough inside the palace." Xiao Mohan said domineeringly.

"Okay! Let's put an end to everything today."

Xiao Mohan reached out his hand, interlocked his fingers with hers, and walked out of Fengluan Palace together.

Inside Cheng'en Hall, bright candles illuminated the room, string music played, and the lingering aroma of agarwood lingered in the spacious hall. Greetings echoed one after another.

Xiao Mohan brought Su Yu'er and Queen Mother Wei into Cheng'en Hall. The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress sat in the center seat. Concubine Rou was the only one in the harem, and they all took their seats in turn.

Everyone in the palace came together to pay their respects and congratulate the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress.

The sound of silk feet could be heard throughout the banquet, and the palace was filled with the sound of clinking glasses and laughter.

At the royal palace banquet on New Year's Eve, everyone was dressed in jewels and precious stones.

Su Yu'er sat in the main seat with Xiao Mohan.

She lowered her head and whispered to Xiao Mohan: "My husband, please arrange for our mother to return to Yongshou Palace as soon as possible! I feel like the time is almost up."

Xiao Mohan released his spiritual sense, and at this time, a group of rebels had already poured into the palace.

"it is good!"

After Xiao Mohan responded, he turned around and whispered to Queen Mother Wei, "Mother, you can return to Yongshou Palace now. Let Rubing and the others accompany you back."

"Okay!" The Queen Mother had already known about the incident at the New Year's Eve banquet. She responded softly and said to Xiao Mohan, "Your Majesty, I'm a little tired. The Emperor and Empress are here, so I'll go back to the palace first."

"Goodbye, mother!" He then ordered Rubing and Ruxin to escort the empress dowager back to the palace.

At once, Su Yu'er and everyone else stood up and said, "See you back, Queen Mother."

After Queen Mother Wei left, the night banquet continued.

Liu Xiner was on pins and needles. She knew that if tonight succeeded, she would be on top; if she failed, she would die!

She lifted her glass and drank, trying to ease the fear in her heart. Then, she lowered her head and thought about how to escape. "Rou Fei, are you feeling unwell today? Why do you always keep your head down?" A gentle but heart-wrenching voice reached her ears.

She raised her head and looked at Su Yu'er who was sitting in the main seat. Her heart trembled slightly, and she smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty. I drank a lot today and I feel a little dizzy."

"Oh? Concubine Rou is so weak." Su Yu'er said slowly.

"I will go back to Zhongcui Palace to rest for a while and come back later." Liu Xiner asked softly.

Su Yu'er suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and muttered to herself, "You're not intoxicated, you're just terrified and guilty!"

"Okay, it's better to go back and lie down for a while!" Su Yuer nodded.

"Thank you, Queen. I will take my leave now!"

Liu Xiner stood up and walked out of Cheng'en Hall with her maid. Su Yuer watched the master and two servants leave.

She whispered to Xiao Mohan, then followed Liu Xiner's steps and left Cheng'en Hall.

The palace was pitch black late at night, with only the faint light from the palace lantern in Hongzhu's hand illuminating the path leading to Zhongcui Palace.

"Tang Mi!" Suddenly, a gentle voice called from above. Then, two dark shadows descended from nowhere.

When Liu Xiner heard the call, her heart tightened, and she immediately realized that Xiao Junwen had entered the palace.

Xiao Junwen was wearing a black brocade robe with dark gold patterns. He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a cold and majestic aura.

"Tang Mi, I haven't seen you for more than a year. Have you forgotten me?" Xiao Junwen's voice was cold and ruthless.

Liu Xiner looked up at him, a flash of fear in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "How could that be? I have been waiting for your arrival."

Xiao Junwen's eyes became increasingly cold. He slowly approached Liu Xiner, reached out and pinched her chin, lifting it up hard so that her eyes had to meet his.

"Then why can't you recognize my voice? Huh?" There was obvious anger in his tone.

Liu Xiner felt the pain in her jaw, and tears welled up in her eyes. But she didn't dare resist. She simply lowered her eyes and whispered, "I...I was just frightened..."

Xiao Junwen sneered and increased the strength of his hands. "Could it be that you fell in love with the emperor after entering the palace? Humph! How could Xiao Mohan be interested in you, a fallen woman? Tang Mi, you are really dreaming."

After saying that, he suddenly shook Liu Xiner's chin away.

Liu Xiner's body lost support and she staggered a few steps before she could stand firm.

At this moment, Liu Xiner's heart was filled with fear, but she looked at Xiao Junwen with tearful eyes and said firmly, "I only have eyes for the prince, how could I have any thoughts about the emperor?"

Hearing her words, Xiao Junwen nodded with satisfaction, a cold smile on his face, "In that case, follow me closely later, and I'll let you enjoy Xiao Mohan's miserable and miserable appearance!"

Liu Xiner's body trembled slightly, but she still answered firmly, "Okay! I am willing to follow you, Your Highness."

At this time, Su Yu'er was standing on the roof of the palace, looking at them coldly.

Cheng'en Hall

The hall was bustling with activity, and after three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

At this moment, a burst of rapid bells and drums suddenly rang out. Then, a dazzling red flare soared into the night sky, like a bright pearl, illuminating the entire palace as brightly as day.

Then, a blood-stained and disheveled guard struggled to run into the hall. An arrow was lodged in the guard's chest, the tip deeply embedded in his flesh, and blood continued to flow, staining his clothes red.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Prince Qi...Prince Qi is leading his army into the palace!" the guard shouted with all his strength.

Xiao Mohan slowly raised his head and looked at the red light in the night sky with cold eyes.

It seems that the matter has been settled! Xiao Moxuan led the Royal Dragon Guard to bring all the troops brought by the King of Qi into the palace and surrounded the palace.

Outside the capital, Xiao Mofei's army also began to encircle and suppress the rebels outside the city.

Amidst the fierce shouting and clashing of swords, the imperial guards were forced to retreat. Although they fought bravely, they were powerless against the overwhelming force of the King of Qi. For a moment, chaos reigned within and outside the palace.

Inside Cheng'en Hall, the originally joyous palace banquet was forced to be interrupted, and everyone was trapped inside the hall, unable to leave. They watched everything happening outside in horror, their hearts filled with anxiety and fear.

Not long after, Xiao Junwen stormed into Cheng'en Hall with a group of guards, followed closely by Prime Minister Lu and Concubine Liu Xiner.

"Uncle, how are you?" Xiao Mohan said coldly with an expressionless face.

"How are you, my dear nephew?" Xiao Junwen replied with a forced smile.
