Without further ado, the date was set on the way to the imperial palace.

The imperial edict to go to the imperial palace had just been issued, and they would have some time to prepare. The official departure date was half a month later.

Half a month is enough.

At this moment, Helian Yao felt inexplicably uneasy.

He beckoned his personal eunuch over: "Have you heard anything from the wizards these past few days? Has there been any unusual activity?"

"Your Majesty, everything is normal with the wizards; there are no unusual occurrences."

Helian Yao was still somewhat uneasy: "Have them report once a day."

"Yes."

Little did Helian Yao know that his sorcerer had already been taken control of by Qi Ning's A Ying and A Chu, and the information sent to Helian Yao was all false.

On the day they set off for the imperial palace, Qi Shiyong's men had already laid an ambush on the road.

As the emperor's entourage passed through a section of road, soldiers suddenly emerged from the jungle on both sides of the road, who were lying in ambush.

"kill!"

Helian Yao's men immediately panicked.

"There is an assassin! Protect him quickly!"

The guards surrounded Helian Yao's imperial carriage. Sitting inside the carriage, Helian Yao listened to the sounds of fighting outside and felt increasingly uneasy.

However, he was still confident that with so many people protecting him, the assassins wouldn't be able to get close to him.

However, Helian Yao was too confident this time.

Seeing that the men arranged by Qi Shiyong had rushed forward to take the lead, Qi Ning signaled to A Ying and A Chu: "Go."

"Yes."

Aying and Achu flew forward and attacked Helian Yao's imperial carriage, tearing a hole in the encirclement surrounding it.

Just then, Qi Ning seized the opportunity to approach Helian Yao's imperial carriage and slipped inside.

In fact, Helian Yao was prepared, and he himself was quite skilled.

Unfortunately, Qi Ning knew him too well and had already guessed what he would do. As soon as she entered, she knocked the dagger out of Helian Yao's hand and grabbed him by the neck.

Helian Yao pulled out another dagger from his boot, intending to stab Qi Ning, but Qi Ning grabbed his hand again.

At that moment, he saw Qi Ning's familiar face, and his pupils dilated.

"Aning..."

Qi Ning snatched the dagger from his hand and held it to his neck.

"Helian Yao, you've finally fallen into my hands." Qi Ning chuckled.

Helian Yao's face turned pale: "It really is you? How is this possible?"

"Why not? Your so-called divinely gifted wizard could foresee that I would come back to seek revenge, but he couldn't foresee his own fate. He's not so great after all."

With that, Qi Ning lifted Helian Yao out of the imperial carriage.

She held a dagger to his neck and shouted to the people outside, "The emperor is in my hands! Stop!"

Not only were Helian Yao's men stunned, but even Qi Shiyong and his men were dumbfounded.

Qi Ning not only knows divination, but also martial arts?

Qi Shiyong was very pleased with himself; rebelling was easier than he had imagined.

Of course, this is all thanks to him having a wonderful daughter.

Qi Shiyong grew increasingly fond of his daughter, Qi Ning.

Holding Helian Yao hostage, they swaggered into the palace and occupied the palace that originally belonged to Helian Yao.

Although Qi Shiyong has not yet officially ascended the throne, he is already the emperor-to-be. He couldn't wait to assume the title of emperor and issued several imperial edicts in succession.

Among them was an imperial edict bestowing the title of princess upon Qi Ning.

Well, this imperial edict was issued at Qi Ning's urging. Now that he is completely obedient to Qi Ning, he issued it according to her wishes.

Only then did everyone learn that Qi Shiyong had an eldest daughter whom they had never heard of before.

It is said that this princess played a crucial role in Qi Shiyong's success in seizing the throne, as she personally captured Helian Yao.

Such merit established immense prestige.

"Brother, Qi Ning is just a princess, this is too ostentatious."

"That's right. She, a princess, has overshadowed our princes. Even Father Emperor dotes on her."

"What are you talking about?"

Qi Ning suddenly appeared from behind Qi Hao and Qi Jie, startling them both.

"Eldest sister."

"Heh, what kind of skill is it to talk about me behind my back? If you're so capable, why couldn't you catch Helian Yao?"

Qi Hao and Qi Jie fell silent.

"Hmph, you're just lucky I'm a woman, so I won't compete with you for the throne. Otherwise, how could the throne possibly be yours in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao and Qi Jie's pent-up frustration vanished instantly.

That's true. No matter how powerful Qi Ning is, she's still a girl, and in the end, she's just a princess.

Thinking about it this way, they immediately beamed with joy and began to ask Qi Ning how she knew martial arts.

A hint of sarcasm crept onto Qi Ning's lips: "My stepfather taught me, how about that? Better than both of your fathers, right?"

After they moved into the palace, Qi Shiyong sent people to deal with the remnants of Helian Yao's faction while also preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

Even Wang Ximei dreamed of becoming empress.

Unfortunately, this was just a dream that Qi Ning had created for them, and dreams must eventually end.

On the eve of the coronation ceremony, the remnants of the regime, disguised as A-Ying and A-Chu, infiltrated the palace and killed Wang Ximei, who was preparing to become empress. Qi Shiyong was also seriously injured and fell into a coma.

While waiting for Qi Hao and Qi Jie to arrive, A Ying and A Chu asked in confusion, "Master, why didn't you let us just take care of those two together?"

Qi Ning kicked the unconscious Qi Shiyong: "That's so boring. I want to see them kill each other."

Achu laughed: "Master, you're still as ruthless as ever, I like that."

Even Ah Ying, who was usually serious, showed a hint of interest.

Before Qi Hao and Qi Jie arrived, the two of them temporarily hid.

"What's going on, Mother!"

Qi Jie cried and threw himself on Wang Ximei, shaking her incessantly.

Qi Hao then went to check on Qi Shiyong's condition; he was still breathing.

"what happened?"

They looked at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning shook his head and said regretfully, "It was done by Helian Yao's remnants. They were too careless. Why didn't they arrange more people to protect him? Fortunately, Father was not killed."

Qi Hao glanced at Qi Shiyong, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Qi Jie stormed over to Qi Ning: "Aren't you skilled in divination? How come you didn't foresee the assassination attempt by the remnants?"

"Who are you yelling at?"

Qi Ning glared at her.

Qi Jie subconsciously shrank his neck, then said defiantly, "I just find it strange."

"What's so strange about that? I've only learned the basics of divination. It's already quite an achievement that I could predict your rebellion would succeed. Who knew that something like this would happen just before you were about to ascend the throne?"

"So what do we do now?" Qi Hao asked.
