Time Travel: He is My Dad!

Dance of Power

The atmosphere in the palace is growing increasingly tense, and the power struggle seems to have reached its most critical moment. Princess Shen's every move shakes the entire palace. And she knows that every subtle decision could determine the future situation.

Her time in the cold palace had taught her how to read people's expressions and how to use minimal force to destroy the most powerful enemies. Now, she was no longer the deposed concubine at the mercy of others. The cold palace had become a springboard to the top. She wanted more than just revenge; she wanted control of everything, to stand at the pinnacle of the palace.

Everything changed overnight.

Outside the palace, wind and rain raged, thunder roared, and even the heavens seemed to tremble in fear of the impending power struggle. However, within the palace, Princess Shen remained calm and composed, knowing that this storm was the inevitable showdown between her and the emperor.

Late at night, Princess Shen received a crucial piece of news. A once-hidden power had finally revealed its true colors. It turned out the emperor had a powerful backer, and this backer's goal wasn't simply to gain power. She had long suspected that a greater conspiracy lay hidden behind this chess game.

She clutched the letter tightly in her hand and took a deep breath. The letter's contents were simple, yet powerful enough to change everything. It mentioned that the emperor was not only secretly contacting external forces, but also attempting to use certain powerful officials in the palace to gain more supporters. And all of this was exactly what she wanted to destroy.

"It seems that some people in the palace have completely stood against me." Princess Shen muttered to herself, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, her eyes cold. No matter who it was, if they dared to stab her in the back, she would not show mercy.

A showdown of power and intrigue.

The next day, a crucial meeting was held at the palace. The topic revolved around a new government reform. This reform affected the power structure within and beyond the palace, and therefore attracted the attention of various factions. Princess Shen volunteered to attend the meeting. Ostensibly, she was seeking to gain some rights with the powerful officials, but in reality, she had long since used it as a stage for a hidden conspiracy.

When she appeared in the hall, the atmosphere in the palace froze. The powerful officials who had once considered her a weak, abandoned concubine in the cold palace were now forced to reconsider the threat posed by this woman. Her eyes were stern, her demeanor calm, like a ruler, facing all challenges fearlessly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Princess Shen's voice was cold and confident. After she sat down, she began to lead the conversation.

She looked at the powerful officials before her. Their expressions varied, but all held a sense of caution and unease. The important official who had betrayed her before, in particular, could hardly conceal his fear. Princess Shen had long known that he had not only the emperor's support but also the covert assistance of external forces. And she was the one who would eliminate these forces one by one.

She smiled faintly, glanced around the conference room, and then said calmly, "Today's agenda is very simple. You just need to decide whether or not to support this reform. As for those black hands behind the scenes, I think you all know."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly changed, and everyone fell silent. The profound meaning in Princess Shen's words made everyone present look nervous. She seemed to have already mastered some unknown secrets, and these secrets were exactly what she used to shake the power of the court.

"Princess Shen, why do you have to sow discord?" A powerful official sneered, trying to defuse the threat in Princess Shen's words. However, Princess Shen remained calm. The glint in her eyes made the powerful official's heart tremble.

"Provocate?" Her voice was tinged with contempt. "I'm merely exposing the facts. I know exactly who's behind the reforms and who's sabotaging them."

Her gaze swept over every powerful official present. Each one of them felt guilty under her gaze, as if each could sense the invisible pressure from Princess Shen. The struggle for power never required violence; sometimes, just a glance, a single expression, was enough to drive the enemy into a desperate situation.

"You don't dare?" Princess Shen spoke again, her voice cold but carrying an irresistible aura. "You boast of your powerful background, but there are some things that cannot be solved by relying on background alone."

This statement seemed to send shockwaves through everyone present. Princess Shen's implication was clear. Not only did she possess the power to operate behind the scenes, she was also unafraid of anyone's backing.

A turning point.

After the meeting, the powerful officials left the room one after another. Their faces were no longer relaxed and confident, but now had a deep sense of fear. Princess Shen's aura had already made them feel unprecedented pressure.

The power struggle in the palace finally entered a new stage. Princess Shen was no longer the abandoned concubine at the mercy of others. She now held the power to decide life and death.

She stood high up in the palace, looking down at the bustling crowd of palace servants and guards below, her gaze penetrating, as if she saw through it all. The Game of Thrones had begun, and she was destined to be the dominant player in it.

"Emperor," she whispered, her voice filled with determination, "Whoever is behind you will become a stepping stone to my power. I will not let anyone easily take away what belongs to me."

There was an unprecedented light in her eyes, as if she had already seen the future victory.

And this is just the beginning.
