A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Ever since Ye Qingzhao heard from her youngest son that Ye Shengtang's son had recognized some kind of immortal master, she has felt uneasy for some reason.

Because of this unease, this feeling of insecurity, he had to be fully prepared.

In fact, it wasn't just Ye Qingzhao who felt uneasy that night; all the officials and their families in Lin'an City were also woken up overnight.

They were all imprisoned together, and all the officials were separated from their families.

They didn't know what was going on. Many people were forced out of bed, wearing only their undergarments, and locked in a courtyard.

Some officials even shouted, "What are you doing? Who are you people?"

"I want to see the Emperor! I want to see the Emperor!"

But no matter how much they shouted, no one paid any attention to them. The few who were the most enthusiastic to return all quieted down after being slashed once.

Many people see that resistance is futile, so they can only silently observe the actions of these people, hoping to find some clues.

Many people know that the Emperor is not in the palace and has not returned yet, and they also don't know how the Empress Dowager and the Empress are doing.

This commotion is very strange. Smart people keep quiet; they know they'll find out what's going on sooner or later.

In the Changyue Hall of the palace, Ye Qingzhao would sit on the dragon throne in a daze for a while, and then stand up and pace back and forth.

He glanced at the time; it was almost dawn. At that moment, Ye Huaiwu, who was standing to the side, advised, "Father, why don't you go to the back hall and rest?"

"Nothing is in a rush. What if you get exhausted?"

"Go and rest for a while. I'll come and wake you up when it's light. Anyway, Lin'an City has already been occupied by our people. Even if Ye Shengtang comes back now, we still have the strength to fight."

Ye Qingzhao pinched the bridge of his nose; he really couldn't hold on any longer, so he nodded and walked toward the back hall!

He stopped halfway and instructed, "Send people to continue searching for the Empress Dowager and the Empress. I don't believe they've grown wings or can fly out of Lin'an City!"

Ye Huaiwu quickly nodded, "Yes, Father, you can rest assured and get some rest! I'll keep an eye on things here!"

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ye Qingzhao quickly returned to the back hall and fell asleep shortly afterward.

But he didn't sleep well. Soon, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. He dreamed that he was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon throne, with a group of ministers bowing to him below.

But unexpectedly, just as he cheerfully told them to rise, a group of people suddenly rushed in, led by none other than Emperor Ye Shengtang!

With a wave of his hand, a sudden gale arose, turning the once clear sky into a dense cloud cover, and a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, striking straight at his head.

He was so frightened that he quickly covered his head, but the lightning still struck him. He screamed in pain, and when he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was having a nightmare.

But by this time he was already terrified and covered in a cold sweat.

The nightmare felt so real that it made him even more panicked.

At such a crucial moment, to have a nightmare—what does that signify?

Will he fail this time?

No, he will never fail. Heaven has allowed him to enter the palace so smoothly, and even forced the Empress Dowager and the Empress to flee to some unknown rat hole. This is Heaven helping him.

Finding the Empress Dowager and the Empress is only a matter of time; he can't afford to worry unnecessarily. Besides, even without the Empress Dowager and the Empress as leverage...

Even if Ye Shengtang appeared now, he couldn't do anything to the people and officials of Lin'an City; he would have no choice but to obediently relinquish the throne.

Hasn't Ye Shengtang always claimed to be a wise ruler?

With these common people and officials in his hands, I don't believe he won't give in. Even if his son finds a divine master, so what? Heaven is still on his side.

After comforting herself, Ye Qingzhao finally felt better.

After Ye Qingzhao stood up and straightened his clothes, he called out, "Someone come here!"

Unexpectedly, it was Ren Xue who came in this time. After entering, Ren Xue bowed and said, "Your Highness, all the officials and their families in Lin'an City have been imprisoned."

Ye Qingzhao nodded. "Okay, what time is it now?"

"Your Highness, it is now Chen Shi (7-9 AM)."

"Breakfast has been prepared, please have some!" Ren Xue said respectfully.

"Alright, where is the Third Young Master?"

"The Third Young Master has led men to search for the Empress Dowager and the Empress."

Now, because of their massive search and arrest in the city, people are in a state of panic. Whether it's ordinary people or the homes of some officials, they have all been thoroughly searched.

The most regrettable thing is that the Empress Dowager and the Empress have not been seen so far.

I wonder where they're hiding. Have they already left the city?

If they still can't be found, the most likely explanation is that they have already quietly left Lin'an City.

After finishing his breakfast, Ye Qingzhao went to the place where the officials were being held. When he appeared calmly in front of them, they all stared wide-eyed at him.

"You, you are Prince Gong, when did you arrive in Lin'an City?"
