Time Travel: He is My Dad!

Dragon Fight

Princess Shen's rise to power has shaken the entire empire. Within the palace, within the court, and beyond, everyone feels the overwhelming sense of power. From a once-forsaken concubine in the cold palace to a woman who now controls the fate of the nation, her transformation has astonished everyone. But even as she consolidates her power, new challenges arise.

As she entrenched herself at the pinnacle of power, the intimidation she posed was not universally formidable. Those who had once been her enemies began quietly preparing to regroup and challenge the vast empire she had built. These enemies included not only powerful officials within the palace, but also external forces who had taken advantage of Princess Shen's growing influence within the palace.

"Princess Shen is becoming more and more arrogant. If she is not stopped, I'm afraid she will take control of everything." A minister said calmly, with a glint of undercurrent in his eyes.

"Yes, although we are all afraid of her, her power is too strong now. Even the emperor cannot easily offend her. The only thing we can do now is to unite, find her weaknesses, and slowly weaken her power." Another minister had a gloomy face, and his tone was full of conspiracy and calculation.

Meanwhile, Princess Shen had long been aware of these people's movements, and she even knew each of her enemies better than anyone else. Back in the cold palace, she was just a weak woman at the mercy of others, but now, every step she took was extremely cautious, and behind every decision were intricate conflicts of interest.

While consolidating her position in the palace, she was also quietly making plans and controlling everything.

"The situation this time is different than before." Princess Shen stood at the palace window, gazing at the distant night sky, her eyes as deep and unreachable as the stars. "These people want to overthrow me, but it's simply impossible. They just don't understand that in this world, there are no true winners."

Princess Shen's voice was deep and powerful, as if hinting at some unspeakable truth. She turned around, a cold glint in her eyes, and glanced mercilessly at the ministers before her.

"You can plan anything, but I never thought you had any ability to compete with me." She chuckled, not disguising the threat in her words. "However, since you are so eager to challenge me, I can give you a chance."

Her words were cold and resounding, filled with provocation and oppression towards her enemies. She was no longer the helpless, abandoned concubine, but the most powerful figure behind the empire. Her ambitions transcended the empire's peak. She wanted to be more than just a powerful ruler, but a true ruler who could change the world.

At this moment, a secret letter quietly arrived in her hands. Princess Shen opened the envelope, revealing a veiled threat. Rebels within the palace had secretly colluded with outside forces, preparing to launch a coup d'état in the imperial court and overthrow her rule.

Princess Shen frowned slightly and made a quick decision. She knew that in this world of power struggles, any slack could lead to a fatal counterattack. She would not allow herself to become a pawn on the chessboard again. This time, she must be the final winner.

"Get everyone ready. Tomorrow, we will conduct a major power purge." Princess Shen gave the order calmly, with a determined glint in her eyes.

That night, the palace was unusually quiet. Every official, every power center, anxiously awaited Princess Shen's decision. Unbeknownst to them, they were sowing a deep hidden danger for their own future.

The next day, in the court.

Princess Shen entered the hall, still the calm, commanding woman she always was, her steps steady and imbued with an air of authority. The court officials rose and saluted respectfully. However, their hearts were already swirling with emotion, knowing that Princess Shen's visit was intended to completely disrupt the power structure at court.

"Princess Shen, what brings you here today?" a middle-aged minister asked cautiously, his tone full of temptation.

Princess Shen smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping across the court, finally settling on the powerful officials in the center. "You don't need to know why I'm here today. I simply ask that you obey my orders." Her voice was deep and clear, carrying an unquestionable authority. "From today on, all traitors who have colluded with external forces will be apprehended and their entire families confiscated. All resources within the palace will become mine."

Before she finished speaking, the expressions of several powerful officials who had just stood up changed. They realized that the situation was far more complicated than they had imagined. Princess Shen's tactics had penetrated every corner of their lives. And they had already become her prey, which she was about to extinguish.

"Princess Shen, what are you doing..." One of the ministers hesitated to speak, with a hint of fear in his voice.

Princess Shen smiled faintly and interrupted him coldly: "Do you think I don't know who you are colluding with? I have already grasped all your plans. Now, it's too late to rebel against me."

She waved her hand, and the guards behind her immediately entered the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Several powerful officials were silently restrained by the guards, their eyes filled with anger, fear, and unwillingness.

"Take them away, drag them out and behead them." Princess Shen ordered without any emotion, and her voice did not allow for any rebuttal.

At this moment, all the ministers present realized that Princess Shen was no longer the woman who could be easily overthrown. Her ruthless methods were enough to make everyone submit. The power structure had undergone a fundamental change, and any resistance would be futile.

In this war without the smoke of gunpowder, Princess Shen has firmly grasped all lifelines. Her power is as unbreakable as a rock, and every minister in the court has begun to bow their heads and obey her control.
