Broken Alliance

The palace conspiracy was like a web, silently tightening, and Princess Shen was like a hidden beast, quietly waiting for her prey to enter. Since that meeting of palace ministers, she had gained more information and gradually uncovered the intricate connections between the emperor and external forces. These were the keys to her counterattack.

Princess Shen's every move was meticulously planned and calculated. Those once-confident officials gradually realized they were facing not just a deposed concubine, but a hidden master of political strategy. Her wisdom and decisiveness instilled fear in them, and some even quietly changed their stance.

In the palace, the storm is brewing again.

Early the next morning, news arrived from the palace that the emperor had suddenly summoned all important officials for another emergency meeting. All eyes were fixed on the emperor, as no one had anticipated his intervention at this juncture. Especially those officials who had previously supported the emperor began to feel an indescribable sense of crisis. Princess Shen's rise forced the emperor to reassess his position within the palace, and he even began to question whether his continued reliance on her was justified.

"Today's meeting isn't just about discussing government affairs." The emperor stood on his high throne, his eyes scanning the entire hall. "We also have an important decision to make, one that concerns our future."

The profound meaning of these words stunned everyone present. The emperor's expression was unprecedentedly solemn and profound. Clearly, this meeting was not just about discussing ordinary government affairs, but rather involved a reshuffling of power within the palace.

Princess Shen was among them, sitting in a corner, quietly listening to the emperor's words. However, she knew in her heart that the current situation had subtly changed. Those who had once been her enemies began to feel threatened and tried to unite against her.

"We need to unite with external forces to break the current deadlock." The emperor's voice was cold, yet carried an undeniable deterrent force. "Princess Shen's rise has threatened the interests of all of us. We can no longer sit idly by."

These words shocked all the ministers. The relationship between the Emperor and Princess Shen had once been very complicated, filled with a mixture of love and hate. But now, the Emperor had begun to express clear hostility towards Princess Shen, even viewing her as a huge threat.

A cold glint flashed in Princess Shen's eyes. She had long realized that the emperor would feel anxious and threatened by her rise. And now, the emperor had decided to ally with external forces, which was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal.

Outside the palace, undercurrents were surging.

However, even as the Emperor and Princess Shen engaged in a desperate struggle, the world outside was far from peaceful. The intervention of external forces made every powerful official in the palace extremely nervous. Even those who once supported Princess Shen began to hesitate.

Princess Shen knew that this palace struggle was far more than a contest between her and the emperor; it was a game of power among various factions. In this dance of power, any small mistake could lead to her losing everything.

She has begun to secretly contact her allies, those who have helped her when she was most in trouble. She needs more support and more strength to fight the coming storm.

In the palace, it’s a moment of decision.

After the meeting, Princess Shen returned to her own chambers, but she remained unperturbed. She stood by the window, gazing out at the night sky, her heart clearly aware of the impending crisis.

"Emperor, do you think you can bring me down by joining forces with external forces?" Princess Shen whispered with a hint of disdain. "I have anticipated your every move. You are simply walking into a trap."

The atmosphere in the palace was becoming increasingly tense, and everyone was secretly racking their brains, trying to gain a favorable position in this dispute. Princess Shen was taking advantage of this, skillfully using information warfare and psychological warfare to gradually dismantle the enemy's position.

She was once a discarded concubine in the palace, abandoned and insulted, but now, she stood at the center of power, observing everything. She was no longer that weak woman, but a strong woman with both wisdom and courage.

Just then, a palace maid hurried in, interrupting her thoughts.

"Princess, there is a letter outside." The maid whispered.

Princess Shen raised her eyebrows slightly and took the envelope. She quickly opened it and unfolded the paper. The contents of the letter made her eyes flash with surprise.

The letter read:

"Princess Shen, the Emperor's decision cannot be changed. Everything you have will return to dust. We are already prepared to close the net."

Princess Shen's heart tightened. The letter revealed a shocking news: external forces were approaching, the emperor's alliance was closing in, and was even preparing to launch a major purge in the palace in order to completely eliminate her influence.

She sneered, without any panic in her heart. Instead, her eyes showed a hint of determination.

"In that case, let's begin." She whispered, a cold smile on her lips. "I've prepared this drama long ago. You thought you could close the net, but you didn't know that I had already laid a dragnet."

The night is darker.

The wind outside the palace grew increasingly shrill, as if foreshadowing the coming of a bloody storm. Princess Shen stood by the window, gazing at the darkness beyond, her mind as clear as a mirror. She was no longer the deposed concubine at the mercy of others. She understood every piece of information and every force within the palace. At this moment, the power struggle had entered its most complex phase, and Princess Shen was destined to emerge as the ultimate victor in this struggle.

"Emperor, you want to play the Game of Thrones, but you always underestimate me." Princess Shen's eyes flashed coldly. Her fingers gently stroked a token on the table, her mind already made up. Every move ahead was a carefully laid chess game, and she had already reached the most crucial step.

The storm is coming.
