Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

The maid led the way, trembling, afraid of displeasing her.

They followed the people to a magnificent tent, the furnishings of which suggested it was where the king rested.

Wan Ning pointed to the ones she didn't like: "Have someone replace all of these for me."

Maid: "Yes."

Wan Ning: "Replace everything else with new ones."

After everyone had changed, Wan Ning sent everyone out and went into her private space to rest.

Let's talk about other things tomorrow. I'm tired today, so I'll take a nap first.

The next day, thanks to Shi Mo's arrangements, everyone below continued their work.

Wan Ning spent this time organizing things and people here.

She didn't try to hide her identity as a woman, and everyone was surprised at first, but they didn't dare to speak because of Wan Ning's intimidating presence.

Once everything was proceeding smoothly, Wan Ning went to the military camp to subdue the soldiers.

A month later, Wan Ning successfully held her investiture ceremony.

Everyone, whether genuinely obedient or subdued through beatings, participated with respectful expressions.

Wan Ning sat on the highest throne, and the people below all knelt down.

"Greetings to the King."

Wan Ning told them all to learn the language of Great Yan, which is Mandarin. She said "Great King" didn't sound good, so they should just call themselves "King".

"Everyone get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wan Ning: "From now on, everyone should just do their job and not cause me any trouble."

"Your subordinates will obey His Majesty's orders without question."

Wan Ning waved her hand: "Everyone, go down. Shi Mo, stay."

"Yes."

Once only the two of them remained in the tent, Wan Ning asked Shi Mo, "Has the message been sent out?"

Shi Mo: "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been sent out as you requested, and the Great Yan Dynasty should have received the message by now."

Wan Ning nodded: "Mm."

Shi Mo has had the most contact with the Queen during this period and has found that she is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately, so she is not so afraid of her now.

"Your Majesty, what is your opinion of the Great Yan?" he asked tentatively.

After all, the king came from the Great Yan, so he still asked a question.

Wan Ning: "Of course I want to take over Great Yan. Since they sent me a princess as a hostage, what's wrong with me becoming the emperor?"

Shi Mo respectfully replied, "Your Majesty is always right."

Wan Ning waved her hand: "Alright, you can go now."

"Yes, Shi Mo takes his leave."

Wan Ning thought about the message that Shi Mo had spread. At this time, the original owner's father and brothers must already know about it, and they must all be very surprised.

After a while, I will send troops to attack the Great Yan and make them come to me to negotiate terms.

Great Yan Dynasty

In the palace, the Emperor of Great Yan has not yet passed away, and there is no Emperor Hongxiao yet.

When the Emperor of Yan received the news that the King of Dai had been replaced and that Wan Ning had taken the throne, the Emperor of Yan stood up in surprise.

"What did you say? Wan Ning has become the Queen of Dai?"

Passerby A: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor of Great Yan exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? Is the news true?"

Passerby A: "According to reports from spies within the territory of the Dai Kingdom, it is indeed true that Princess Wan Ning has become the new king."

The Emperor of Great Yan was somewhat dazed, and it took him a while to recover: "Go and summon Prince Cheng!"

Passerby A: "Yes."

Upon receiving the news, King Cheng set off for the palace.

"Father, did you summon me?"

Emperor of Great Yan: "Sheng'er, you've arrived. I just received news that the Kingdom of Dai has changed its king. Do you know who it is?"

Prince Cheng wondered why his father would specifically bring up this matter.

"Your subject does not know, please tell me, Father."

Emperor of Great Yan: "It is Jing'er."

King Cheng's eyes widened in shock: "What? How could Wan Ning have this ability?"

Emperor of Great Yan: "I don't know either, but I have already sent someone to tell Wan Ning."

King Cheng: "Father, it's a good thing that Wan Ning has taken control of the Dai Kingdom. This way, we can merge the Dai Kingdom into the Great Yan."

Emperor of Great Yan: "That's what I think too. Now we're just waiting for news from Wan Ning."

King Cheng: "When I return, I will also write to Wan Ning and ask her to come back as soon as possible."

Emperor of Great Yan: "Good, you two siblings are both excellent."

King Cheng: "Thank you for your praise, Father."

Wan Ning did do a good deed, though it's unclear how she did it.

When I get back, I'll send her a message urging her to come back quickly. My father will be pleased and will value me even more.

Xiao Qi told Wan Ning the news, and after listening, Wan Ning rolled her eyes.

"They're really dreaming. They're so far away, yet they're trying to take advantage of me."

Xiao Qi: "Host, give them a surprise when we get back."

Wan Ning: "It is indeed a surprise. I hope they won't be too surprised and turn it into a shock."

Xiao Qi: "Hehe."

The change of rulers in the Dai Kingdom and Princess Wanning's ascension to the throne of the Great Yan Dynasty caused a great deal of discussion.

At the Duke of Su's residence, Xiao Heng was somewhat surprised upon receiving the news. (This is a personal interpretation, assuming Xiao Heng has grown up.)

"How did she manage to do that in such a short time?"

Lu Ji: "My lord, I heard that the eldest princess killed the king of Dai as soon as she arrived in Dai."

Xiao Heng: "She knows martial arts?"

Lu Ji: "The eldest princess probably doesn't know martial arts."

Xiao Heng: "That means she had been hiding it very well before."

Wen Ji: "The eldest princess must have some grievances about going to the Dai Kingdom as a hostage."

Xiao Heng's expression was ambiguous, and she said with a hint of sarcasm, "The safety of a country depends on a woman."

Lu Ji: "That's good, this woman is no ordinary person."

Xiao Heng didn't say anything more, but she became a little curious about this princess.

*

A month later, the Dai Kingdom dispatched troops, and urgent news of the border war was relayed back to the court.

The people were talking about it, and the matter was also hotly debated during the morning court session.

Everyone thought this was the eldest princess's old grievance, and she was just venting her anger.

The Yan Emperor also thought this made sense, so he sent Prince Cheng with his troops to the border to persuade Wan Ning.

Standing among the crowd at the morning court session, Xiao Heng became even more curious about this remarkable princess.

In a short period of time, the Dai Kingdom captured two border cities.

Wan Ning personally led her troops, advancing with unstoppable momentum, sparing no one who surrendered.

Inside the tent, Wan Ning, who had just captured another city, sat drinking tea.

Xiao Qi: "Host, are you planning to fight your way back?"

Wan Ning: "When my good brother arrives, I'll tie him up first."

Xiao Qi: "King Cheng is already on his way."

Upon receiving his father's order, King Cheng led his troops to the border.

However, he was puzzled as to what Wan Ning was doing.

She won't reply to my letters; I insist on meeting her in person first.

On his way there, he received another urgent military report that Wan Ning had captured another city.

King Cheng overturned the tea on the table and slammed his hand on the table, shattering it into pieces.

Snapped--

Her tone was angry: "What exactly does Wan Ning want to do? Rebel?"

Subordinate: "The princess is probably unhappy because she was sent to the Dai Kingdom as a hostage. If Your Highness comforts her, she will naturally listen to you."

King Cheng agreed, since the two were siblings born of the same mother.
