Time Travel: He is My Dad!

Game within a game

Princess Shen's ruthlessness and shrewdness have taken root in every inch of the palace. Her name is no longer that of a despised, abandoned concubine in the cold palace, but a figure everyone fears and reveres. Her strategies, profound and invisible, are like an invisible net, slowly enveloping those who would betray her.

This time, the movements of external forces were fully within her sight. Among her spies, every plan and every detail of the collusion were precisely grasped by her. She not only had to strike these enemies, but also to make them understand that her power was not easily shaken, and any provocation would result in a heavy price.

"Princess Shen, all preparations are complete." The secret guard's voice was low and cautious. He stood before Princess Shen, his expression filled with tension. "We have confirmed through the palace's insiders that all the powerful officials and representatives of external forces involved in the coup. Tonight, they will meet secretly in the ancient temple outside the palace to discuss the final course of action."

"Ancient temple." Princess Shen repeated softly, a cold glint in her eyes. "They are really bold. It seems that they think they can steal everything from me."

Princess Shen stood up, a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were as sharp as ice. "Let them think they have a chance of victory. Tonight is their end."

As night falls, there is an ancient temple outside the palace.

The ancient temple lies in a remote mountain forest beyond the imperial palace, its surroundings empty and desolate, shrouded in darkness. Almost no one comes here, making it a favorite of outside forces. Princess Shen knows that tonight's coup will begin here. She has already laid a series of traps, waiting for her prey to fall into them.

Several representatives from external forces arrived one after another, their expressions cautious, sizing each other up, as if testing who would ultimately take the lead. After all, everyone knew that only by overthrowing Princess Shen could they achieve ultimate victory. However, who would truly control this transformation remained a mystery.

"Can we ensure Princess Shen's power?" one of them asked in a low voice, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Don't worry." Another man in black sneered, "Our insiders have already infiltrated the palace, and Princess Shen's confidants are beginning to waver. She is just a transitional ruler. Once her confidants betray her, power in the palace will be redistributed."

However, they did not know that under Princess Shen's nose, all of this had already been turned into a chess game by her, and everything was under her control.

in the palace.

Princess Shen stood in her chambers, her eyes as cold and clear as water as she stared silently out the window. The night sky in the distance was silent and deep, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. And she, already, was the master of this storm.

"Everyone in the palace is my chess piece," she murmured softly, a glint of shrewdness and decisiveness flashing between her brows. "Tonight, I will lead them into my own trap."

Every move she made was like a general marching in formation. She already knew how the rebels would behave tonight, and she had every strategy prepared. Princess Shen not only wanted to defeat them, but also to show them that the price of betrayal would be more painful than death.

Ancient temple, late at night.

Inside the ancient temple, candlelight flickered. Several men in black sat quietly at a stone table, their eyes solemn. Meanwhile, the powerful officials who had long since rebelled in the palace also arrived one after another. They were nervous and uneasy, as if awaiting some crucial moment.

"Is everything ready?" asked one of the powerful officials, his tone filled with urgency.

"Don't worry, everything is going as planned." Another person replied in a low voice, "We have bribed the ministers around Princess Shen, and their information will be passed to us in time. Tonight, as long as she is no longer in control of the situation, power will be ours."

However, their conversation was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Do you think Princess Shen will really be overthrown so easily?" Princess Shen's voice was like a cold wind from the shadows, breaking the silence in the ancient temple.

Several rebellious officials were startled and turned to look at the source of the sound. They saw a woman in plain clothes slowly walking into the ancient temple. Her steps were calm, her face was stern, and her deep eyes were as cold as ice.

"Princess Shen!" a powerful official asked in astonishment, "Why are you here?"

Princess Shen sneered, her gaze sweeping across the shocked faces. "Do you think Princess Shen is so easily defeated?" Her voice was tinged with sarcasm. "I already know everything you've been planning behind the scenes. Tonight, your fate will be sealed in my hands."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the ancient temple. Then, several men in black broke in, holding sharp blades in their hands and looking aggressive.

"You have fallen into my trap." A cold light flashed in Princess Shen's eyes. She waved her hand, and suddenly, the surroundings of the ancient temple were lit up with flames as bright as daylight.

"Your path of betrayal is doomed to death," she said coldly, without a trace of mercy in her tone.

Several powerful officials turned pale, realizing they had no way out, and they all took up their weapons, ready to resist. But their actions, no matter what, could not change the outcome—tonight, they were destined to become victims on Princess Shen's chessboard.

Princess Shen's order had been issued, and all the secret guards were dispatched, quickly taking control of the scene. There was no room for resistance, and this coup was doomed to fail.

in the palace.

Princess Shen closed her eyes slightly and sat quietly on her throne, recalling every detail of the night in her mind. She knew that this was only a small part of the power struggle, and the next challenge had just begun.

"This world is always a place where the strong prey on the weak," she whispered to herself, "and I will be the one who controls everything."

The outside world was in turmoil, but under her control, all challenges were but passing clouds. Princess Shen had steadily advanced to the pinnacle of power, becoming an unshakable presence in the world.
