The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

The whole country celebrates the Empress Dowager's birthday.

This year, the Empress Dowager intended to celebrate her birthday in a grand manner. She wore a dress embroidered with golden phoenixes and a heavy headdress, yet she still looked joyful.

Even at her age, the Empress Dowager is still radiant and full of energy, which everyone envies.

It seems the Empress Dowager lived a long life.

Jiang Xian Yue had been observing her closely. The Empress Dowager's smile was stiff, and she looked withered. Only someone who had studied metaphysics would be able to tell.

Jiang Xianyue's face turned extremely ugly.

She bit her lower lip and looked at the Empress Dowager.

Now, she stands here as Luo Yuqi.

In the distance is a clone, married to Jiang Xian Yue.

She stood obediently beside Consort Zhuang and the Second Prince, unnoticed by anyone. Halfway through the banquet, the fake Jiang Xian Yue was summoned to the depths of the Imperial Garden.

She was taken there, where, besides herself, there were several sorcerers, all covered in black aura, who didn't look like proper sorcerers.

They surrounded the fake Jiang Xianyue.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager also arrived and spoke to the fake Jiang Xianyue.

"I thought you were so clever, daring to come here by yourself."

Before this, some people said that your destiny was extremely good, and that it was given to me, the Empress Dowager. I am second only to the Emperor, and the true mistress of the harem will certainly use it better than you.

The Empress Dowager greedily reached out, wanting to touch the fake Jiang Xianyue.

Jiang Xianyue took away the clone.

"Now that everyone is here, they're using my birthday celebration to try and harm me. Even the Empress Dowager wouldn't want that. Am I so stupid as to fall for their trick?"

Jiang Xian Yue revealed her true colors, much to everyone's surprise.

Before them, Consort Zhuang and the Second Prince also looked somewhat unpleasant.

Zhuang Ling has already surrendered, Lu Heng is dead, and there is no one in the sect who can inform them of the situation. Therefore, Consort Zhuang still believes that she will succeed after today.

"You're actually Jiang Xuan Yue! You lied to us! What about Luo Yu Qi...?"

"Miss Luo Yuqi was killed by Ning Ruyu's people long before she was found. So I was the one who knew all your movements in the Luo family in Jiangnan, and I am the one who has come to the capital now."

"You used the Luo family to change the Imperial Star, doing so many heinous things. Killing you now wouldn't be unjust."

However, the Empress Dowager remained calm afterward.

"Consort Zhuang, I thought you were a capable person and would surely understand the reason behind this. I received this news a long time ago. I know the Luo family is unreliable. Over the years, I have gathered many sorcerers. There must be someone who can deal with Jiang Xianyue."

With a brain like yours, you dare to scheme against me? You deserve to die.

Now that the Luo family is useless, I will send you on your way today. But the chosen one of the Luo family is truly remarkable; I never expected that, after all this time, he would return to you, Jiang Xian Yue.

"As long as I have your body, I can regain my youth."

At this moment, Shen Qinglan came to the Empress Dowager's side.

"Jiang Xianyue, we've spent so much time together, how could I forget the details of your life? You've been so careful, trying to deceive me, but you've distanced yourself too much from Jiang Xianyue."

Jiang Xianyue's expression turned sour; she hadn't expected that even with all her caution, she would still be discovered.

However, she had already prepared for the worst.

"Get into formation!"

Shen Qinglan took two steps back and waved to begin.

The sorcerers who practiced evil arts unleashed their power together, instantly forming a huge net in front of them. Jiang Xianyue retreated in great tension, and together with Consort Zhuang, they were pulled down by the collapsing ground. Fortunately, Jiang Xianyue pulled Consort Zhuang back, and she managed to keep her balance.

"Where is this? Let me out! Let me out!"

Empress Dowager, you old witch, how dare you frame me! I will never let you get away with this.

"I am the true descendant of the Luo family. Without me, the Emperor's ascension to the throne would not have been so smooth. You used me, and now you want my life?"

"stop fighting!"

Jiang Xianyue had a headache.

"Jiang Xianyue, you are also a member of the Luo family. It is a blessing for the Luo family that I am a concubine, yet you do not help me now."

"If you help me get out, I will give you the position of head of the Luo family. Your mother is, after all, a legitimate daughter. Everything will be as you wish!"

Jiang Xianyue chuckled softly.

“Patriarch Luo? This originally belonged to my mother. Moreover, the Zhuang family is only a distant relative of the Luo family. What right does Consort Zhuang have to order me around?”

"Because I am the current Consort Zhuang, with a noble status, and with Consort Lin dead, I am the only one in the Emperor's harem with a noble status."

"If I were to marry, I would be the Crown Princess, the Empress's primary wife, and the future Empress. Consort Zhuang, do you really think that a mere concubine can command me?"

You can't compete with me in matters of the court, nor can you compete with me in terms of the Luo family's bloodline. However, considering you haven't done anything evil, I will do my best to rescue you if the opportunity arises. That's all.

Jiang Xianyue didn't want to save people, but she had no other choice.

Although Consort Zhuang was a villain, she was also tricked. Everything was that damned old hag.

Consort Zhuang was still unruly.

"As for you, you're now imprisoned yourself, pretending to be Luo Yuqi. You thought you were so clever, but now you're no different. I don't believe you!"

With that, Consort Zhuang walked in the opposite direction.

Jiang Xianyue wanted to stop her, but then she thought that everyone has their own destiny.

Before he died, he tried to do a good deed, but the other party did not appreciate it.

At that time, the sorcerers who practiced evil arts had already arrived at Jiang Xianyue's side. They were covered in black energy, as if they had made full preparations for this day.

"Miss Jiang, without the power of the chosen one, you are doomed today. The Empress Dowager has long since gathered various formations, just to deal with you!"

Those people, some arrogant and others gloating, unleashed their power and attacked Jiang Xianyue.

Jiang Xianyue hadn't expected the attack to be so fierce from the start, and she tried her best to defend herself.

At first there were no problems, but Jiang Xianyue soon discovered that this formation was not simple.

As the formation reversed, Jiang Xian Yue's spiritual power began to malfunction, resulting in a significant loss.

By the time she realized it, it was too late.

Those people, however, were completely unaffected.

Jiang Xianyue's every block became extremely difficult.

Seeing that Jiang Xianyue was at a disadvantage, they attacked even more fiercely.

"The chosen one, I thought he was so powerful, but I didn't expect that after cultivating for so long, he is still so useless. He can't even last an incense stick's time in this formation."

“Now that you are all here, eliminating you would be equivalent to eliminating the power of all evil cultivators.”

If that's the case, then my death would have been worthwhile!

Jiang Xianyue suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze bloodshot, as if she had been prepared all along. She poured the remaining spiritual energy into her entire body, ready to fight them to the death.

Within this formation, the immense golden light and the energy it gathered caught everyone off guard.

Those who recognized the spell exclaimed, "You...you're courting death!"
