Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Ye Li watched as Li Siyue declared Xuan Yuanming "dead" on the spot. This was...

This is a real rebellion!

……

If Li Simiao is found guilty of assassinating the emperor, she must atone with her death.

Li Siyue is going all out to save her sister!

Shortly after entering, Li Siyue saw Li Simiao being led to kneel on the ground. The helplessness she felt when she lost her father surged up. In an instant, she made a decision: since she was carrying the dragon's child, why should she have to put up with Xuan Yuanming's attitude anymore?

Li Siyue ordered, "The Emperor has been assassinated and died on the spot! Why aren't you all going to find the assassin?! Everyone, leave the palace immediately!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood: the Empress wanted the Emperor dead!

Those who make a living in the palace are all shrewd and calculating. Xuanyuan Ming is indeed seriously injured and bedridden, unable to move. The Empress not only carries the Emperor's child but has also secured the support of the most powerful forces: a regent overseeing the country, the future Crown Prince, and the Empress Dowager. The Emperor's current situation is indeed…

The eunuchs and palace maids exchanged glances before hurriedly leaving the palace.

Xuanyuan Ming had a bad feeling from the beginning, and now that everyone he used to know had turned against him, he understood even more clearly that he was now isolated and helpless.

Xuan Yuanming glared at Li Siyue with hatred. If looks could kill, he would have torn her to pieces. He said in a sinister tone:

"You dare to kill me?! Do you think that by associating yourself with Mo Chen, the officials will be convinced? You will never succeed in your plot to usurp the throne!"

But Li Siyue didn't look at Xuan Yuanming; instead, she pulled Li Simiao straight to Mu Nianchen and made her kneel down, saying:

Please save us!

Ye Li was stunned: ? ? ?

Li Siyue pleaded tearfully, "Madam General, I only have one sister, Miaomiao. She cannot die. I beg you, please let the General deal with him. I will stand up against all opposition in court and make General Mo Chen the Regent."

Li Siyue first cried and pleaded, then tried to entice him with bribes:

"As long as the General's wife and the General protect my sister, I can refrain from vying for power and prevent the Crown Prince from becoming Emperor when he is born. The Regent can continue to oversee the country. If you don't believe me, I can write it down."

Li Siyue's words were sincere, reasonable, and well-founded; she truly understood human nature...

If an ordinary person heard this, they would definitely think it's a good thing.

Xuanyuan Ming had repeatedly tripped up Mo Chen, but now Mo Chen could kill Xuanyuan Ming himself and then sit on the throne as regent. As long as he had a written agreement, Mo Chen's treatment would be no different from that of an emperor.

She thought Mu Nianchen would definitely agree on Mo Chen's behalf, and might even be so eager as to poison Xuan Yuanming.

However, Li Siyue waited for a long time, but Mu Nianchen still did not move.

Inside the vast palace, the three of them waited for Mu Nianchen's reply.

Xuanyuan Ming was afraid, worried, and terrified. He was not afraid of Mo Chen, but he was afraid that Mu Nianchen would really use this opportunity to kill him.

Li Siyue was worried that if Xuan Yuanming didn't die, he would definitely take revenge on Li Simiao, and might even kill her after she gave birth. She could only seek the protection of others in order to save the life of her unborn child and her sister.

Ye Li was originally an outsider, but in the end, her husband became the biggest winner of this palace coup and was promoted to regent.

Even Ye Li, a transmigrator, was stunned...

In order to protect her sister, Li Siyue tried to win over Mo Chen and even made a written agreement. She was indeed quick-witted.

but……

Mu Nianchen spoke up: "I disagree."

……

Li Siyue was confused and stammered, "Why, why?"

-

Outside the bamboo grove, a figure hurried by.

He entered the house with practiced ease, knelt down, and reported:

"Your Highness, the woman's assassination attempt was successful. Xuan Yuanming is now seriously injured and bedridden. To protect her sister, Empress Li Siyue launched a palace coup. She declared that she would make General Mo Chen the regent in exchange for his protection of her and her sister."

Sitting inside was Princess Mingzhu, who laughed heartily upon hearing the news:

"Good! Well done!"

"Xuanyuanming, letting you die is too easy for you! I want you to see with your own eyes that everything you love has been taken away by someone else, and it's the person you hated most in your past life, hahahaha..."

A charming laugh echoed through the bamboo forest; Princess Mingzhu was laughing heartily.

But as she laughed, tears involuntarily streamed down her face...

As Su Zhelan handed over the handkerchief, she teased, "If someone didn't know the situation, they would definitely think that Xuan Yuanming had wronged you. Otherwise, why would you scheme against him time and time again? But the strange thing is, you clearly didn't have many opportunities to interact with him..."

Princess Mingzhu stared at the handkerchief for a long time before finally taking it slowly, saying in a calm and indifferent voice:

“Prince Beichen, someone once told me that curiosity killed the cat. We each get what we need, so I advise you to ask less questions.”

Princess Mingzhu was surprised by Su Zhelan's keen insight, as she was able to deduce the general situation from these minor details, but she was unwilling to recount the past and calmly moved on.

Those who are affectionate are often the ones who betray others.

In her previous life, Xuan Yuanming had naturally spoken sweet words to her, and she had believed them. But now that she was reborn, she knew him too well and knew how to make him suffer even more.

Taking Xuanyuan Ming's life was no punishment for him, because emperors are destined to be allies with assassins. Even if they weren't Princess Mingzhu's secret guards, they were spies from other countries, so she wanted to take revenge herself.

Xuanyuan Ming hates Mo Chen, so she wants to make Mo Chen gain Xuanyuan Ming's power and status.

In her past life, Xuanyuan Ming caused her to lose her life and left her people's corpses scattered across the land. This time, she wants Xuanyuan Ming to watch her country fall into the hands of others, and she wants him to become a deposed ruler who suffers eternal damnation!

The scout, kneeling on the ground, continued to ask his master for instructions:

"Li Siyue wants the General's Mansion to deal a fatal blow to the Emperor. Should we strike before they do?"

It's nothing new that Princess Mingzhu wants to deal with Xuanyuan Ming. All the forces in this bamboo forest have gathered together to scheme against Tian Shu Kingdom, so they don't shy away from the situation.

"No need, Mu Nianchen won't make a move."

Princess Mingzhu spoke up: "If Mo Chen or Mu Nianchen were to take action, it would seem like they had avenged their family, but the crime of regicide would be a permanent stain. If Li Siyue really gave them that contract, the General's Mansion's evil of regicide and the scandal of using the emperor to command the princes would spread throughout the world."

"Mo Chen will never be able to hold his head high again, let alone continue as regent. Li Siyue prides herself on her shrewdness in both open and covert struggles, but she doesn't know that our general's wife is no weakling..."

Based on Princess Mingzhu's understanding of Mu Nianchen's character, she would never sacrifice the greater good for a small gain. Li Siyue thought she was just a country bumpkin who would kill the emperor for the sake of the title of Regent's wife.

Unfortunately, Li Siyue's plan to use someone else to do her dirty work was ultimately doomed to fail. Princess Mingzhu looked at the bamboo leaves outside and murmured:

"She's very clever."
