The Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter and Her Heartless Lover!

Bloody battle in the northern border, fate turned around

The northern frontier's army surged toward the border like a tide, their iron hooves trampling countless sand dunes and sweeping across the empire's last line of defense. Shen Yiyao stood on the high platform of the imperial palace, gazing at the approaching war clouds in the distance, a trace of fear no longer in her heart. She knew full well that this was not just a war for territory, but a life-or-death struggle that would determine her rule and her life.

She had decided to completely eliminate the threat from the northern border, not only to defend the empire's territory, but also to protect the power she had personally established. War was about to break out, and she had no way to retreat. She faced only a sea of ​​blood and fire ahead.

Before dawn, undercurrents surge

Just as Shen Yiyao was about to command the defense line personally, even more terrible news happened in the palace - Zhao Yuanming had colluded with Northern Xinjiang and had reached an agreement. He privately exchanged promises with the Khan of Northern Xinjiang. The exchange condition was: once Shen Yiyao was defeated, Zhao Yuanming would take over the empire and become the new ruler.

"This old fox has finally revealed his true colors." Shen Yiyao sneered and clenched her fists. "If Zhao Yuanming thinks he can control the fate of the empire, he's wrong."

A stronger fighting spirit ignited within her. Whether it was the invasion from the northern border or the threats from the traitors within the court, she would not yield. She would make all those who dared to challenge her rule pay a heavy price, including those who had once followed her.

"Detain all members of Zhao Yuanming's family and start interrogation immediately!" Shen Yiyao ordered, her voice firm and cold.

Strategy and battlefield, dual challenges

On the first day of the war, Shen Yiyao personally took command, mobilizing the empire's elite troops to engage the barbarian army from the northern border. Although the northern border army was outnumbered, Shen Yiyao had already laid a clever ambush, taking advantage of the border's terrain and weather, successfully delaying the barbarian army's attack.

"We can't let Northern Frontier seize the initiative!" Shen Yiyao's eyes were sharp. She knew that barbarian generals were arrogant and often underestimated their opponents' strategies and strategies. Although the imperial army was outnumbered, it could fully counterattack Northern Frontier with its sophisticated tactics.

She divided the army into several groups, launching surprise attacks from multiple directions, creating chaos and instantly wearing down the Northern Frontier army's morale. Although the fighting on the front lines was extremely brutal, Shen Yiyao's cold-blooded decisions and ruthless command made the Northern Frontier's offensive appear extremely passive.

However, just when Shen Yiyao thought the war situation was gradually under control, shocking news came from the palace: Zhao Yuanming's confidants had placed certain members of the royal family under house arrest, preparing to launch a coup and seize control of the court when the war went against them.

"As expected," Shen Yiyao sneered, a cold glint in her eyes. She had originally thought Zhao Yuanming would be wary, but she hadn't expected him to take decisive action at this critical moment for the empire, preparing to use force to force the emperor to abdicate.

Attacked from both inside and outside, the empire's last line of defense

As the battle escalated, Shen Yiyao's situation became increasingly complicated. While the offensive in Northern Xinjiang remained strong, news continued to trickle in from the palace: Zhao Yuanming had not only contacted rebel forces outside the palace but, with the support of powerful figures, was attempting a coup if her command was challenged.

"We must get rid of the traitor in the palace immediately, otherwise the war will fail and the empire will fall into complete chaos." Wang Shaowen whispered in her ear.

Shen Yiyao frowned and finally made up her mind: "Assemble the entire army and attack the northern border in batches. At the same time, send special envoys to quickly eliminate the hidden dangers in the country. If there are any rebels, whether they are powerful officials or people in the palace, I will eliminate them personally."

At the same time, Shen Yiyao's confidants launched a fierce search in the palace. Zhao Yuanming's confidants were brought to justice one after another, and the hidden forces were exposed one after another. Almost all the key figures were caught in one fell swoop, and the entire court was thrown into an unprecedented state of tension.

However, Zhao Yuanming's figure remained elusive. Shen Yiyao knew that this old fox was not so easy to catch, and he must be planning something behind the scenes.

The counterattack in the northern border worsens the war situation

Just when Shen Yiyao thought the rebellion in the palace had been brought under control, the army of the northern border launched a sudden counterattack. The troops on the front line were suddenly in trouble. The generals of the barbarian army took advantage of the deep terrain and logistical supplies to force a breakthrough of the defense line again.

Shen Yiyao knew that this was a counterattack by the Khan of Northern Frontier. Zhao Yuanming not only wanted to use the power of the foreign enemy to contain her, but also attempted to seize her throne at the most critical moment.

"Damn it!" Shen Yiyao gritted her teeth, "I will never let Zhao Yuanming succeed!"

She quickly mobilized the reserve army and commanded the elite troops to support the front line. At this moment, she was no longer the gentle and elegant woman in the palace, but a king wearing armor and holding a dragon sword.

"We're going to deal a crushing blow to Northern Xinjiang!" Shen Yiyao declared coldly, her gaze sharp as a blade. Every decision she made was driven by one goal: even if her entire army was annihilated, she would ultimately triumph in this fateful game.

On the eve of the decisive battle, blood is boiling

The fate of the empire stands on the brink of collapse. Faced with the iron cavalry of the Northern Frontier and the betrayal of Zhao Yuanming within, Shen Yiyao is forced to make a difficult choice between power and the battlefield. She knows that victory is only temporary. Without power, she will no longer be the empress of the empire, but a forsaken loser.

However, Shen Yiyao was never one to give up easily. In her heart, she had only one belief: she must win this war, otherwise she would lose everything, including the empire she once ruled.

"The war won't stop because of our hesitation, and Zhao Yuanming won't let go because of our tolerance." Shen Yiyao stared at the billowing smoke ahead, her eyes as blazing as fire. "Today, only one side can survive."

She waved her sword and commanded the army: "Attack!"
