She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

The sacrifice to heaven was completed smoothly.

The weather was nice and the sun was shining all the time.

When Yu Yuanzheng was offering sacrifices to heaven, he paid special attention to the third prince, but did not notice anything different about him.

Like everyone else, he bowed solemnly and earnestly to the ancestor of the Heavenly God Sect.

You can't really tell from the facial expression.

He is indeed much more mature and stable than a few years ago. He knows how to control his emotions and not show his emotions on his face.

But it's a good thing he didn't cause any trouble.

Come to think of it, he probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble during such a solemn and sacred sacrificial ceremony.

In front of the gods and ancestors, he must be afraid of being punished by heaven.

Today's rainbow vision is like divine help, making all conspiracies dare not be exposed to the sun.

After the heaven sacrifice, the emperor announced that everyone could only play around the palace and not leave the area within three miles.

The prince has always been by the emperor's side.

"Hongyi, have you noticed anything unusual?"

"Your Majesty, not yet."

"Did we miscalculate? The Third Brother had no intention of taking action here."

"It's hard to say." The prince was not sure.

They are just fishing, whether the fish will take the bait or not depends on the fish's willingness.

"Then we will stay in Yuntai Mountain for two more days and return to the palace after three days. It's rare for me to leave the palace, so I'll take a good look at the scenery here. I came here eight years ago."

"If the emperor wants to see it, then take a good look. We don't know when the next offering to heaven will be. The scenery here is indeed beautiful.

If the weather is good, you can even see the sunrise over the sea from the top of Yunfeng. It’s only a little over a thousand miles from the sea, and this mountain is relatively high.”

"Well, you're right. It's rare for me to see such a magnificent sight. Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to see it."

"I obey your order." The prince thought for a moment and then said, "But I suggest that you take the Queen with you, and find a reason to bring Concubine Wan with you as well."

The emperor narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Of course he knew what the prince meant.

To lure the snake out of its hole, you have to lure it out.

If the third brother really wants to take action, then bringing Concubine Wan with him will give them more opportunities.

On the spot, the emperor arranged for Eunuch Hai to ask the concubines who came with him which ones were willing to watch the sunrise.

"You really don't want your sister anymore?" the emperor teased.

"She has been taught wrongly by her biological mother and is no longer worthy of being the daughter of the Shangguan family.

She went against the teachings of her ancestors.

The princess of our ancestors once left behind ancestral teachings.

Women from the Shangguan family are not allowed to enter the palace unless necessary. This is the only way to ensure the brotherhood between our Shangguan family and the royal family.

Once you enter the palace, you will inevitably be involved in the prince's dispute, which will be detrimental to the Shangguan family, the imperial family, and the Great Wei Dynasty."

"You're right. The imperial Cao and Shangguan families have had brothers supporting each other for five generations.

The Shangguan family did not have a daughter who entered the palace as a concubine, nor did they have a daughter who became involved in the royal family disputes because of giving birth to a prince.

It was my fault back then. She was obsessed with entering the palace and deliberately created opportunities for physical intimacy with me, and even begged me for it using her reputation as a woman.

I allowed her into the palace for the sake of you and your father, since we grew up together, which is why she has the ambition she has today.

If the old prince had arranged a marriage for her earlier, perhaps you, my sister, could have lived a peaceful and stable life.

The relationship between you siblings wouldn't be as strained as it is today.

"Alas, this man simply cannot resist greed," the emperor sighed.

"She has a mother like that, so she is destined to have the result she has today." The prince saw through it very clearly.

The four royal children of his generation all turned against him, and one was even a spy for the enemy country.

He was already numb.

I’ll just pretend I never had any brothers or sisters in this life.

The two of them were chatting idly.

At this time, Eunuch Hai came forward.

"Your Highness, Your Highness. I have sent word to all the ladies. Besides the Empress, the others who are willing to watch the sunrise with you tomorrow morning are Concubine Wan, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Bao."

"Just the four of them?" The emperor was a little surprised. Why were there so few people? He thought they all wanted to go with him.

"Your Majesty, the ladies said that they are old and can't get up so early or climb such a high mountain." Eunuch Hai replied respectfully.

Of the four imperial concubines, only Wanpin was older; the others were indeed young. The Empress was only thirty-four.

"Four is fine." The emperor didn't care, as long as Concubine Wan was there.

That night, Concubine Xian and Concubine Bao both had diarrhea and sent palace maids to apologize to the emperor.

Of course, this was done by Shangguan Ziqi. If something really happened to the women, and he failed to protect them, wouldn't the emperor blame him?

His duty was to protect the concubines in the palace.

The night was quiet and nothing happened until the early hours of the morning.

However, in the middle of the night, Yu Yuanzheng quietly left the palace.

Dressed in black, he and several guards quietly headed towards the top of Yunfeng.

It was the first ten days of the month, and the moon had already set in the west. It would be so dark that you wouldn't be able to see your hand in front of you.

"Princess, I'm sorry." Chunlei apologized and jumped off the cliff with Yu Yuanzheng.

Zhuyue is waiting at the cave entrance.

Enter the cave.

There is candlelight inside.

Zhuiyun and Zhuyue had arrived early.

Bring in everything Yu Yuanzheng prepared.

"Princess Consort, it's still early, you should rest for a while. We will call you if there is anything." Chunlei said.

He asked Zhuiyun to set up a small tent in the cave and spread bedding inside.

"Okay. You guys be careful and make sure to guard the cave entrance." Yu Yuanzheng hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night like this for a long time.

Very uncomfortable.

Soon she fell asleep with her clothes on again.

Xia Yu, who was responsible for guarding the cave entrance, stood quietly at the entrance.

It was already the beginning of the morning (one o'clock), and the moon had completely disappeared.

He listened to the mountain breeze blowing through the cave entrance.

But as a martial artist, his five senses are sharp.

He could hear the sound of metal colliding with the cliff wall from time to time. It was very small, but he couldn't be mistaken.

Quietly return to the cave.

"Captain, I feel someone coming up from the bottom of the cliff." Xia Yu reported his guess.

Chunlei was stunned. Would the third prince really cause trouble?

Chunlei came to the cave entrance to check.

Remove the camouflaging branches, stick your head directly out of the cave and listen.

Indeed, from time to time there was the sound of metal hitting the stone wall.

But it was too dark to see anything, and they couldn't light torches.

The two turned back immediately.

"Crown Princess, Crown Princess." Chunlei called out softly twice outside the tent.

Yu Yuanzheng had just fallen asleep for less than an hour when she woke up as soon as she was called.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuanzheng immediately woke up, thinking that the emperor had arrived.

"Princess, we found someone climbing up from the bottom of the cliff."

"What?" Yu Yuanzheng was startled.

No one was found entering Yuntaishan. It turned out that they didn't come at all, but chose to come down from the cliff on the back mountain at this time.

How do they climb up such a high cliff?

Yu Yuanzheng wants to go and see it in person.

Chunlei wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by Yu Yuanzheng.

"I just want to hear if it's as you say."

The two of them had no choice but to bring Yu Yuanzheng to the cave entrance.

As soon as they arrived and before they could move the branches away, they heard a clear sound of metal hitting stone.

Then it quickly disappears.

Yu Yuanzheng understood.

No need to go out, just go back into the cave.

"Chun Lei, I think those people have iron claws on their hands or feet to help them climb up from the bottom.

And that sound just now was the sound of their iron claws grabbing the cliff wall."

"That's what I guessed too." Xia Yu said.

"Princess, should we take action now? We'll take as many as we can." Qiu Feng felt a little itchy.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment in dealing with the Canglan thieves, and he was a little impatient.

"No, we can't act rashly." Yu Yuanzheng denied.

"Why?"
