Time Travel: He is My Dad!

Bloody Dawn

Princess Shen stood high in the palace, overlooking the illuminated palace. As night fell, the sounds of the court mixed, a faint, unsettling commotion could be heard. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, her mind mulling over the actions she was about to take. This night would be the beginning of her control over everything. Whether it was loyalty or betrayal, the outcome would be decided at this moment.

Cheng Jiahong stood behind her, his expression serious: "Princess, the various factions in the palace have been arranged. Tonight, we will wipe out all the rebellious forces in one fell swoop."

Princess Shen turned around, a cold look flashing in her eyes. "Tonight, what we have to do is not only to eliminate these threats, but also to declare to everyone who is the true ruler of this palace."

Her voice was like a cold wind, piercing and sharp. Cheng Jiahong knew that Princess Shen not only wanted to eradicate the enemy's power, but also to completely destroy all thoughts of resistance in a way that would shock the entire palace. Her determination was unwavering, and there was no hesitation in her eyes.

"Are you all ready?" Princess Shen asked calmly.

"Everything is ready, Princess." Cheng Jiahong replied in a low voice, "We have complete control over the power in all key positions in the palace. What remains is to eliminate the root causes of corruption."

"Very good." Princess Shen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of victory. "From now on, no other voice will be allowed in this palace."

……

At midnight, Princess Shen's orders came like a whirlwind. The guards in each palace were quietly replaced. Princess Shen's trusted confidants had already been lurking in every corner of the palace, ready to launch a fatal attack at this moment.

Cheng Jiahong's elite troops quietly surrounded key figures within the palace. Those remaining loyal to Zhao Hao's maternal family and the Grand Empress Dowager would be eliminated tonight. Princess Shen personally directed this impeccable sweep, a meticulously planned hunt, each step pressing forward with relentless determination.

"Capture her!" With a single command, a former subordinate of the Grand Empress Dowager, previously under house arrest, was quickly apprehended upon sensing danger. The moment she attempted to resist, a cold blade was already at her neck. A flicker of fear and resentment flashed in her eyes, but was quickly swallowed by a merciless silence.

Princess Shen's face was expressionless as she watched everything coldly, her gaze like a sharp blade, piercing through all the hypocrisy and pretense. She knew that in this game of power, there was no turning back.

"This is just the beginning," she whispered, "Everything in the palace will be controlled by me."

Meanwhile, deep within the palace, Zhao Hao's remaining followers had begun to waver. Faced with Princess Shen's aggressive purge, their last hopes were shattered overnight. Those close associates who had once supported Zhao Hao were now left with nowhere to escape.

……

"Princess, the cleanup is complete." Cheng Jiahong stood in front of Princess Shen, his face gloomy. "Almost no one in the palace can escape. What remains is to completely eliminate those remnants."

Princess Shen nodded slowly, folded her hands over her chest, and said with a cold look: "This time, no one can be left alive."

"Yes, Princess." Cheng Jiahong replied in a low voice, "Everything will be carried out according to your orders."

Princess Shen clenched her fingers slightly, like a predator, ready to strike a fatal blow. "This bloody purge will serve as a warning etched in everyone's minds," she said in a cold and resolute tone. "Let everyone know that everything in this palace belongs to me."

……

In the early morning hours, the entire palace fell into silence. The once bustling palace had long since been completely cleared of its maids, eunuchs, and officials. The ministers' seats lay empty, and Zhao Hao's once-powerful confidants had vanished without a trace. Princess Shen sat on the dragon throne, the palace hall hushed in silence, her only figure standing firm at the pinnacle of power.

"Princess, the rebellious forces in the palace have completely collapsed." Cheng Jiahong reported again, "All resistance forces have been wiped out. Inside and outside the palace, only your voice remains."

Princess Shen nodded slightly, a sneer playing on her lips. "This is exactly what I want." She slowly stood up from the dragon throne and looked out at the vast palace. Her gaze penetrated the palace walls, as if she could see the distant empire and the fate of countless subjects.

"Cheng Jiahong, send someone to inform all the ministers and dignitaries in the palace that I will hold a grand banquet in the main hall tonight, and everyone must attend." Princess Shen said calmly, "I will officially announce who is the true ruler of this palace."

A flicker of surprise flashed across Cheng Jiahong's eyes, but he immediately understood the princess's intentions. Not only did she want to destroy all opposition, but she also wanted to use this banquet to completely declare her control to everyone. Power requires not only bloody and forceful tactics, but also intimidation and intimidation, ensuring everyone's unwavering obedience.

"Yes, Princess." Cheng Jiahong bowed respectfully and then left to make arrangements.

……

As night fell, the palace hall was already fully decorated, ablaze with lights and flickering candlelight, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. Princess Shen stood in the center of the hall, her every step radiating unparalleled majesty and coldness. All the ministers and dignitaries had been summoned to the scene at her command, though they all knew in their hearts that tonight's banquet was destined to be extraordinary.

Almost all the important officials in the palace had already arrived, and the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. Princess Shen slowly walked up the steps and stood on the dragon throne. She scanned the entire audience. Everyone bowed their heads respectfully, and no one dared to look her in the eye.

"Everyone," Princess Shen's voice echoed in the hall, clear and cold, "Tonight's banquet is not a celebration, but a declaration. It's a declaration of who is the true ruler, who is at the helm of this empire."

Her voice was like thunder, instantly shocking everyone present. Those powerful people who had previously been dissatisfied with her felt the invisible oppression emanating from her, and a trace of fear could not help but arise in their hearts.

"From tonight on, everything in the palace will be decided by me." Princess Shen's gaze swept across everyone like a sharp knife. "If you have any objections, leave my sight immediately. If you rebel, you will be killed without mercy."

Her voice was filled with absolute intimidation, and the entire hall fell silent. Everyone could feel the invisible pressure coming from Princess Shen, and everyone's heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

Princess Shen smiled faintly, a smile so cold it made one's heart tremble: "Remember, everything in the palace belongs to me, Princess Shen. From now on, anyone who dares to rebel will pay the price with blood."

Everyone lowered their heads, feeling uneasy. This wasn't just a banquet; it was a declaration of power. Princess Shen no longer had any worries. Everyone in the palace had long since realized that this woman was the true ruler of the court.

In the dead of night, an unspoken tension hung over the hall. And this bloody dawn had only just begun.
