The weak prince's queen

Ever since Xiao Zixuan returned to the city that day, a horrific tragedy unfolded. Filled with resentment and malice, he brutally murdered Lin Ruoyun, disfiguring her face. He then mercilessly sent her to the military camp, where she became a "gift" to the soldiers.

Inside the military tent, Lin Ruoyun was tortured by dozens of soldiers, her body and mind enduring unimaginable pain and humiliation. These brutal soldiers showed no mercy, wantonly trampling on her dignity and body, leaving the once beautiful Lin Ruoyun unrecognizable.

However, despite being in such a desperate situation, Lin Ruoyun still maintained the last bit of pride and stubbornness in her heart. Unable to endure such humiliation, she finally chose to end her miserable life by committing suicide in order to maintain her only remaining dignity.

Meanwhile, the Lin family suffered a devastating disaster. Master Lin was exiled, and the Lin family's property was confiscated. The men were sent to the distant frontier to perform hard labor, while the women were forced to become courtesans, leading to a life worse than death. All this fulfilled the old saying: "Evildoers will be punished, and there will be no good end."

As the land was immersed in sorrow and chaos, Xiao Yichen's brother suddenly launched a massive war, targeting Qingcheng. For a time, the flames of war raged, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the people fell into endless panic.

Facing the onslaught of the enemy, Xiao Yichen displayed remarkable wisdom and courage. He calmly analyzed the situation and devised a series of ingenious strategies and tactics. Meanwhile, the people of Qingcheng united as one, each stepping forward to bravely defend their homeland.

In this fierce battle, although the enemy army was outnumbered, they gradually became overwhelmed by Xiao Yichen's outstanding command and the tenacious resistance of the Qingcheng people. Before long, the enemy began to retreat step by step and was finally completely defeated.

After the battle, smoke filled the air, and the land was devastated. However, Xiao Yichen remained unfazed by his victory. He knew clearly that this war had only just begun, and the real challenges lay ahead. Therefore, he decisively ordered everyone not to relax immediately, but to seize the opportunity to rest briefly, to recover their strength and energy, and to recharge their batteries for the even more brutal battles to come.

During this precious period of rest and recuperation, Chu Xiyue displayed remarkable talent. Leveraging her modern knowledge, she devoted herself to the research, development, and manufacture of weaponry. Through tireless efforts, she successfully crafted a series of advanced and powerful weaponry for the army. These weapons not only far surpassed conventional weaponry of the time in performance but also embodied innovative design concepts, significantly increasing the strength of Xiao Yichen's army.

With the aid of these powerful weapons, Xiao Yichen's momentum soared. He led the charge, his men also high in morale, fighting bravely. They advanced with unstoppable force, capturing city after city. Wherever they passed, the enemy was completely defeated, unable to resist.

As the battle progressed, Xiao Yichen's army gradually approached the Imperial City. This city, symbolizing the pinnacle of power, now became the key to victory. Facing the formidable walls and the stubborn resistance of the defenders, Xiao Yichen remained undaunted and commanded his troops with unwavering confidence. He skillfully employed tactics, leveraging the advantages of his newly developed weaponry, launching wave after wave of fierce attack. Finally, after a thrilling battle, the Imperial City's gates were breached, and Xiao Yichen led his troops straight into the city.

Upon entering the Imperial City, Xiao Yichen unleashed his purge without hesitation. He first targeted the then-empress, a powerful and ruthless woman who committed numerous crimes. After a fierce confrontation, Xiao Yichen personally ended the empress's life, eliminating a threat to the people. He then placed the emperor under house arrest, stripping him of his supreme power.

As for Crown Prince Xiao Zixuan, thanks to Chu Xiyue's intercession, Xiao Yichen spared his life. However, as punishment, Xiao Zixuan was demoted to a commoner and expelled from the Imperial City, never to return. Thus, the Imperial City changed hands, and the regime shifted.

On this day, Xiao Yichen, in compliance with the will of the people, officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Standing atop the imperial palace, he surveyed the vast land beneath him, a surge of emotion filling his heart. From then on, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of governing the empire and benefiting its people, ushering in his own glorious era.
