After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

"What are you doing here? Is this a place for you?!" the Emperor questioned Consort Rong.

He then looked at Shi Yunyun and said, "Also, weren't you grounded for a month? Who let you out?"

"Guards! Take them away! Anyone who dares to release them without my permission will be executed!"

The Emperor's command was imposing and did not sound like a joke.

Shi Yunyun, who was always bold, stepped forward and looked at the Emperor: "I beg Father to have mercy and spare my maternal grandfather."

As a time traveler, everyone else fears the emperor, but she is not!

These foolish ancient people have never witnessed her intelligence and wisdom. Once they have, they will surely think that she is far superior to Emperor Hua Yao.

In this Huayao Kingdom, only she was qualified to sit on the throne; at that time, Miaomiao was not even as important as one of her toes.

What right do I have to compete with her?

"What makes you think that I will let him go just because you plead for him?" the Emperor questioned Shi Yunyun.

Shi Yunyun said, "Just because I am Father's flesh and blood, I am more qualified than Shi Miaomiao to help Father and can also help Father unify the five kingdoms!"

Everyone present knew just how arrogant those words were!

The Emperor simply refused to believe it!

Shi Yunyun was challenging his authority and mocking him for his inability to unify the five kingdoms.

But he knew his fate. Shi Yunyun's ambition was too great. She might have the ability to unify the five kingdoms, but that would definitely not help him.

It's not about achieving something for yourself!

"What arrogance!" the Emperor said coldly.

Shi Yunyun showed no fear and looked directly at the Emperor, saying, "Father, please spare my maternal grandfather. I am willing to serve you!"

The Emperor would never allow such a thing to happen.

Shi Yunyun was absolutely not allowed to interfere in matters of the imperial court.

If she gets involved, it will cause tragedy for all of them; he won't shoot himself in the foot.

“Your Majesty, everything Yun’er said is true!” Consort Rong chimed in.

Now, all she can rely on is her father, and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

I don't want her Rong family to be left without anyone!

"Back then, you conspired with your father to plot against me, and now he has committed a heinous crime. I haven't even held you accountable yet, and you still have the nerve to come and beg for mercy?"

Back then, Rong Li was plotting against him with the Empress Dowager, sending Consort Rong to his side, which is how she became pregnant with this baby.

Do you really think he forgot about this debt?

He then looked at Shi Yunyun and asked coldly, "And you, aren't you afraid I'll kill you first?"

“Father wouldn’t!” Shi Yunyun said firmly, “I am Huayao’s future, Huayao’s hope, Father wouldn’t kill me!”

She is a time traveler; she knows about the future, who has influence over her, and her future destiny.

These foolish people, though they suppress her now, will become stepping stones for her when she grows up.

Including the Emperor!

"How dare you utter such treasonous words!" The Emperor was utterly enraged!

The Emperor disliked Shi Yunyun's confidence.

She's so arrogant!

A two-year-old toddler is so arrogant that he completely disregards the king!

"Drag them all out and execute them!"

The Emperor immediately issued the order.

The atmosphere in Chaoyun Palace reached its peak time and again, and the Emperor had considered killing the Emperor more than once.

Since the entire Rong family has joined the effort, let them all reunite!

"boom!"

Just as the guards outside the door came in and dragged the three away, lightning flashed and thunder roared outside, and a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky and struck the palace!

"What's going on?" Si Pei'an looked outside the door, feeling that the lightning strike was too strange.

There was nothing unusual about the night sky tonight, so why did thunder suddenly start?

"Does Your Majesty still remember the document from beneath Jade Mountain? It states that Yun'er is the chosen one, the rising star of Huayao, and cannot be easily erased!"

Rong Lizheng said happily, "If His Majesty insists on killing Yun'er, I'm afraid he'll have to ask Tian Tong if he agrees!"

The Emperor was furious, his fists clenched, glaring at Rong Lizheng: "Are you trying to provoke me?!"

He is the emperor, the ruler of the country, and cannot be provoked!

"The celestial phenomena are thus, and cannot be defied. Baiyu Mountain's ability to discern the secrets of heaven must have its reasons!" Rong Lizheng seemed to have gained the upper hand, a contemptuous smile appearing on his lips.

The Emperor, naturally, could not tolerate such provocation and immediately issued an order.

"What are you all standing there for? Drag them away and execute them!"

Just as the guards led them outside the hall, another thunderclap rang out, a sound powerful enough to pierce one's eardrums.

Even the emperor, who was sitting in the Chaoyun Hall, was taken aback.

Even though he was protected by dragon energy, he still felt a powerful force rushing towards him.

"The way of Heaven cannot be defied! The way of Heaven cannot be defied!"

The guards had only taken a few steps when thunder rumbled one after another, and bolts of lightning struck them.

Several guards collapsed on the spot, their bodies charred.

The Rong family members, who were in the middle, were completely unharmed!

"This..." When Shi Youzhi rushed out and saw this scene, he was obviously stunned.

He also knew about the documents at the foot of Baiyu Mountain.

But he never expected that something like this would happen!

"Your Majesty, several guards have been struck by lightning and killed!" Si Pei'an strode over and looked at the guards' extremely gruesome condition!

The emperor was shocked and almost lost his footing. He walked to the entrance of the main hall, looked at the guards on the ground, and then looked up at the night sky.

Is it truly impossible to defy the will of Heaven?!

As a king, can't he even make this simple decision?!

"Father, it's best not to act rashly in this matter," Shi Youzhi advised softly, knowing the emperor's helplessness.

No one would have imagined that they would witness such a bizarre event.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Lu rushed to report to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Huayao Palace has collapsed!"

"What?!" The Emperor's heart clenched immediately, and he pressed for answers repeatedly.

How could the perfectly good Huayao Palace have collapsed?

Was it also struck by lightning and collapsed?

Eunuch Lu said, "It's not that the whole thing collapsed, but a section of the wall in the room where the little princess usually lives collapsed!"

"How is the little princess? Is she hurt?" The Emperor was even more anxious.

Eunuch Lu said, "No, the little princess is fine."

The Emperor couldn't care less about anything else at that moment; he had to rush to Huayao Palace to see his beloved daughter.

The collapse of the perfectly good wall made him very uneasy.

He was worried that this matter was related to his plan to kill Shi Yunyun.

If he insists on killing Shi Yunyun, it might bring disaster to Miaomiao!

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Several ministers, running and walking, even lost their hats, and knelt before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, observing the celestial phenomena tonight, something extremely ominous has occurred!"

With such strange things happening one after another, the emperor was beginning to feel overwhelmed.

Even an emperor or a monarch couldn't accept so many bizarre things!

I vividly remember that the night before the document was sent down from Baiyu Mountain, the celestial phenomena were unusual, and it was from that moment that Shi Yunyun's fate changed.

Even though I know she's a menace, the celestial signs indicate I can't touch her!

Is all of this really fate?!
