Time Travel: He is My Dad!
Chapter 96 Game of Power
Game of Thrones
Late at night, the palace was utterly silent. From the corner of the cold palace, a few whispers could be heard. This was a high-stakes gamble, and every move was fraught with danger. But Princess Shen never hesitated. She knew that every struggle for power was a game of wits, and only wisdom and courage could ensure ultimate victory.
She sat in her chambers, quietly observing everything. Outside, the wind began to pick up, each gust a reminder that the road ahead was filled with uncertainty. But she wasn't afraid. The deeper she swung into the vortex of power, the closer she would find her place within it.
"Princess Shen, all the traitors have been apprehended, and the powerful ministers' rebellion plans have completely collapsed." The secret guard's voice broke the silence, deep and powerful. "From today on, they no longer have the ability to resist."
"Very good." Princess Shen nodded gently. Her tone was calm, but it contained a strong murderous intent. "Tell everyone, starting tonight, everyone in the palace must be loyal to me. Any rebellion will be paid with blood."
Her voice was like an icy blade, cold and sharp, capable of piercing anyone's heart. She was no longer the abandoned concubine in the cold palace, but the queen who controlled the fate of the entire palace.
Outside the palace, on the streets of the imperial capital.
The night sky of the imperial capital was swallowed by dark clouds, shrouded in a gloomy haze. The lights on both sides of the street flickered, and the people on the street began to discuss the goings-on in the palace. The outside world was still bustling, but it was unaware of the earth-shaking changes that had quietly taken place in the palace.
A woman in plain clothes shuttled through the crowd, her face beautiful and stern. Her steps were light, but she carried an unparalleled aura. This was Princess Shen. She was no longer the abandoned concubine struggling helplessly in the cold palace, but now she was in control. Every step she took was like a heavy drumbeat, breaking the tranquility of the entire empire.
Her eyes were sharp, and she couldn't help but sneer at the people discussing power struggles on the street. She knew that the rebellion of the powerful officials in the palace was just the tip of the iceberg, and the real power struggle had just begun.
She paused and ordered the secret guards behind her, "Go, collect a complete list of all officials who have colluded with the powerful ministers. No matter what their positions are, they must not be spared."
"Yes." The secret guard obeyed the order and left.
Princess Shen gazed into the distance, a complex mix of emotions welling up within her. She knew that, despite the seemingly unassailable victory today, she was still in a delicate position. Behind those betrayers lay even more powerful forces, and she must respond with caution and not let her guard down for even a moment.
In the palace, late at night.
Inside Princess Shen's chambers, the lights were dim. She remained calm, though the tension between her brows intensified. She sat at her desk, holding a list of all the people she was investigating. Behind each name lay a complex web of power transactions.
She knew that the chess game before her was not just about betrayal and revenge, but also about the future of the entire empire. She had to be more careful, as any small mistake could lead to her own destruction.
"Tonight's operation has come to a temporary end." She whispered to herself, a smile appearing on her face, but it was as cold as ice. "In the days to come, I will make those who harbor rebellious intentions kneel at my feet one by one."
Her fingers gently stroked the tabletop, her mind secretly plotting her next move. Princess Shen wasn't just battling within the palace; she was also leveraging her undercover agents within external forces to garner more support. She understood that only by completely controlling the situation could she fundamentally resolve future threats.
The next day, in the palace meeting room.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn, as all officials waited in silence for Princess Shen's arrival. Ever since she successfully suppressed the rebellion the previous night, the attitudes of all the officials in the palace had changed instantly. The former rebels were now trembling with fear, no longer daring to hide anything from her.
Princess Shen entered the conference room, her every step imbued with a powerful aura, the air around her seemingly weighed down. She glanced at the officials present and said calmly, "Tonight's operation has been a success, but victory is only temporary. I demand your loyalty, not just lip service, but genuine devotion."
Her voice was cold and ruthless, reaching deep into everyone's heart.
"From today on, everyone present must pledge allegiance to me. If anyone dares to harm me, I will personally eliminate them."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads, their faces filled with fear. Princess Shen's intimidation had already made them feel unprecedented pressure.
However, she did not linger for long, but directly announced a decision: "Starting today, all rebels in the palace will be punished. Those who colluded with external forces will be interrogated immediately."
Princess Shen was not in a hurry to deal with everyone, but first selected a few of the most important officials for questioning. She knew that only by grasping the key in this power game could she gain more bargaining chips for herself.
"Tell me, who is supporting you behind the scenes?" Princess Shen's voice was like ice, so sharp that it was impossible to look directly at her.
The powerful officials were trembling with nervousness, having clearly realized their situation was irreversible. The cold light in Princess Shen's eyes grew even colder, and she stared directly into their eyes, carrying an irresistible sense of oppression.
"Your betrayal has been exposed." Princess Shen whispered, "Tell me, who is the real mastermind behind you?"
The powerful officials looked at each other, no one dared to speak for a moment. Princess Shen's gaze became even sharper. With a slight wave of her hand, the secret guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed a powerful official who dared to raise his head.
"Alright, since you choose silence, let me personally uncover the secrets behind you." Princess Shen smiled, her gaze as cold as a knife. Her every move betrayed her thirst for power and control, a power that was enough to make anyone submit.
In this palace, everyone's fate has long been firmly controlled by her, and her power will only grow stronger until no one dares to threaten her anymore.
