Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

“Commander Wang, you are mistaken.” The prime minister, riding a tall horse and exuding an air of nobility, said loudly, “I once assisted the late emperor and can be considered a veteran of two reigns.”

"Do you see what this is?" he said, taking out a precious sword from under his cloak. "The Imperial Sword bestowed by the late Emperor! Now that there are treacherous villains causing chaos, what's wrong with me donning this armor and entering the palace?"

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Imperial Guards remained silent.

"Give Way!"

The prime minister pulled on the reins, and the horse reared up on its forelegs, letting out a neigh.

"Back off!"

Seeing this, the commander of the Imperial Guards could only raise his hand, signaling the guards behind him to retreat.

"I would like to trouble Commander Wang to order your men to put down my Left Commander of the Huayi Mansion."

"He presented poison that killed the current emperor; we cannot comply!" the Imperial Guard leader declared loudly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the prime minister turned his head and gestured to the people behind him, and they quickly brought in a man.

The man had long, flowing hair and handsome features. Upon seeing him for the first time, Eunuch Wei, the head of the Imperial Household Department, felt a sudden tightness in his rectum, for it was none other than Ye Yan, the Hundred Inspector of Qianzhou City whom he had sent to Jingcheng to deliver medicine!

"Your Excellency, what is the meaning of this?!" the Imperial Guard leader demanded loudly.

"This person is the culprit who presented the poison." The prime minister drew his sword, pointed it at Ye Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly, "This is a conspiracy. Someone is deliberately trying to frame my Huayi Mansion and throw this mud at me!" After saying that, he flicked his wrist and used the blade of his sword to break the fist-thick iron chain, leaving the people around him dumbfounded!

You should know that even the strongest commander of the Imperial Guards here cannot cut such a thick iron chain with a sword so easily!

He did this to intimidate everyone.

"Alright, you can speak now," the prime minister said softly. "Tell them who the real mastermind is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yan, who had already been tormented, looked around the crowd.

Soon, he spotted Eunuch Wei, who was trying to hide his old and ugly face with a whisk, and immediately pointed at him.

"It's him, it's him, it's him!" Ye Yan said in a trembling voice, "It's this guy who claimed to have been ordered by the Crown Prince to kill the Medical Sage after learning that the Huayi Mansion was looking for a famous doctor to treat the Emperor with the Seven Star Grass. He then ordered me to deliberately carry the poisonous grass and spread the news on the way back to Jingcheng to lure the Left Commander of the Huayi Mansion to come and steal it, so that we could frame them for this crime!"

Upon hearing Ye Yan's words, the Imperial Guard leader immediately rebuked him angrily, "Bastard, do you know what you're saying?!"

Ye Yan was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound. He could only kneel on the ground and say that everything he had said was true...

"Commander Wang, now that we have all the witnesses and evidence, you should be able to release the Left Commander of my Huayi Mansion, right?" The Prime Minister looked at the leader of the Imperial Guards, his eyes filled with an imposing and authoritative expression.

"Well, alright..." Upon hearing this, the leader of the Imperial Guard hesitated for a moment before waving his hand, signaling those who had bound Dong Fuguang to untie the iron chains.

After being freed from his restraints, Dong Fuguang immediately went before the Prime Minister, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "My lord, I deserve to die..."

However, the prime minister simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more, and then waved his hand again, ordering people to surround Eunuch Wei, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.

"Prime Minister Jin, what are you doing?" Surrounded, Eunuch Wei looked flustered and asked sullenly, "You can't just conclude that I did it based on the thief's one-sided story, can you?"

"Then, Eunuch Wei, please tell me. Why were you not in the palace when I sent someone to look for you a few days ago?" Prime Minister Jin rode his Ferghana horse leisurely around Eunuch Wei.

"I felt stifled in the palace, so I went out to visit my elderly mother. Is that not allowed?"

Wei Gonggong was still trying to argue, but Prime Minister Jin waved his hand again.

Soon, a familiar figure was brought in again.

"Little Fuzi?" Eunuch Wei was very surprised.

“Xiao Fuzi is Eunuch Wei’s personal eunuch, and he has also recognized him as his godfather.” Prime Minister Jin said loudly, “So, can his words be considered evidence? If you still don’t tell the truth, I can send people to Qianzhou City to bring back and identify everyone you have met.”

"Alright, it was all my doing that he did, it has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince!" Knowing he couldn't escape the situation, Eunuch Wei decided to sacrifice one pawn to save the king.

But Prime Minister Kim didn't give him that chance at all, and immediately said with a smile, "At this point, whether it matters or not is not up to you to decide."

"What's going on?" Just then, the door to the Emperor's palace was suddenly pushed open, and a young figure in a dragon robe appeared before everyone. "Judging from what Prime Minister Jin is saying, you're implying that I killed my father, is that right?"

"Your subject dares not," Prime Minister Jin replied, immediately clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"You dare not? I think there's nothing in this vast Celestial Empire that Prime Minister Jin wouldn't dare to do!" The Crown Prince stood with his hands behind his back. Although he was still young and had not yet fully mastered the art of being an emperor, his dragon eyes revealed an indescribable majesty!

"Your Highness is too kind," Prime Minister Jin said without backing down, his sharp edge still evident. "I was ordered by the previous emperor to establish the Huayi Bureau to supervise all officials in the realm. Now that there is a problem, I will naturally investigate!"

“Prime Minister Jin, you’re getting old. I’ll hand this matter over to the Left Secretary. You don’t need to get involved,” the Crown Prince said, looking at him.

But Prime Minister Kim remained standing in the same spot, showing no intention of obeying the imperial decree whatsoever.

"What, is my word not enough?" the crown prince glared.

"I am afraid I cannot obey your decree." Prime Minister Jin said righteously, "The reason I brought the imperial sword today is to say that no matter who is behind this matter or what their noble status is, I will not let them off easily!"

"You..." The Crown Prince pointed at him, his teeth itching with anger. "Fine, fine! Prime Minister Jin, now that the Emperor has passed away, I am the only Crown Prince of this dynasty. You'd better think carefully before you speak!"

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will think it through." Prime Minister Jin did not take his veiled words to heart at all. "Your Highness, it is the same. If you don't want others to know what you've said, then don't do it in the first place!"

The confrontation between the two most powerful figures in the Celestial Empire sent chills down the spines of everyone present...

……

"Shen Lian."

"You should know your mission. The enemy's army is already pressing in. You must defend the Dragon Spine Great Wall for me. Otherwise, if they manage to break through and rush into our Celestial Empire's territory, there will be widespread suffering and misery!"

Inside the magnificent, resplendent palace, before a dragon throne crafted from gold, stone, and precious jade, stood a figure who spoke with an unquestionable tone to a young general named Zhen Sheng outside the door:

"If that's the case, and the calamities of the previous dynasty are repeated, how can I possibly have the face to live on in this world?"

"This is an opportunity, a chance for your Shen family to completely rid your family of its infamy!"

"After this battle, I guarantee the restoration of your Shen family!"

After he finished speaking, a precious sword was passed around from one person to another, and finally delivered to the young general.

The hilt of the precious sword is as black as ancient ink, and a bright ruby ​​is inlaid in the hilt. The blade is straight and light as a goose when held in the hand, yet it can cleave solid rocks without chipping.

"Your subject obeys..."

The young general stood up, but suddenly heard several familiar voices beside him...

"Master Shen?"

"Master Shen?"

The first voice belonged to a man; his voice was deep and resonant, and every word he uttered was full of vigor.

"My benefactor, you can't be hurt..."

The second voice was thin and delicate, with a sobbing tone, like that of a little girl...

"My lord, please wake up soon. If you don't wake up, my heart will be filled with anxiety..."

The dream was illusory, the scene like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Amidst the worried voices of the crowd, Long Aotian finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Where...where am I?" Long Aotian struggled to get up. "Hiss...help me up, I still have to submit my manuscript to the editor..."

"Husband, you're awake?" Shen Juanxin, who was leaning against the headboard, looked up at Long Aotian with joy in her eyes. But before she could say another word, Jiang Beichuan burst in, saying, "My lord, you're finally awake! I was so worried!"

Looking at the familiar figures before him, and then glancing around, Long Aotian finally snapped out of his reverie...
