t, I'll teach you."Xiaoli turned around, Feng Lingxi hurriedly followed, "I want to go with you too."A figure jumped down from their rooftop, watching their departing backs before quickly disappearing..."At this crucial moment, he thought of you."

Luoli's tone was laced with sarcasm. After opening the imperial edict and seeing its contents, her face contorted in shock. "The Regent King"

This imperial decree was given to me by Zhang, the eunuch serving the Emperor. This was left behind by the Emperor before he passed away. He initially bestowed upon him the title of "Generalissimo", but found that this wasn't enough power to subdue Wang Yù. Therefore, he changed it to "Regent King".

"What are you going to do"

Du Gu Cheng shook his head and accepted the imperial decree. He had always been conflicted inside, wanting to ask the Empress Dowager about her attitude towards the Emperor. However, before he could even speak, the Empress Dowager looked impatient and told him not to interfere.

"The empress dowager's actions today are even worse than those of Empress Dowager Cen back then. She truly intends to rule from behind the curtain and take control of the great Yuan dynasty."

Luo Li's words carried a hint of anger. Back then, in Tai Hou Cen's eyes, he could still be respected. Although Tai Hou Cen was determined to unify the world, her greed at least made her respectful towards him as the clan leader. But now, Tai Hou Shu... there was no regard for the Yao Clan in her eyes. What she wanted wasn't unification, but power over the Great Yuan Dynasty. She wanted everyone to obey her.

"The emperor's empire cannot fall into her hands. The Prince of Yu probably won't covet the throne now, but rather power. There is nothing more enticing than power, even for an emperor. He has no real authority and is merely a puppet. How could he compare to the comfort of a powerful figure who controls the entire court"

Dugu Cheng took a deep breath, looking at the three characters "Prince Regent" on the imperial edict. This wasn't just a symbol of power and status, but also a test for him. If he led his troops into the palace, what would the Empress Dowager think of him If he didn't enter the palace, wouldn't he be betraying the emperor's plea

"My Lord." Ye Xi hurried in, just about to report the whereabouts of the young masters, when she saw Luoli and Li Wuyan. She hurriedly swallowed her words.

"Ye Xi, take this military tiger talisman to the camp and tell them to prepare, awaiting orders.

"

Ye Xi looked at the soldier tiger talisman, her face full of shock, "Your Highness, you got it"

"Go now."

Nightingale realized something was amiss with the prince and hurriedly responded by leaving.

The Imperial Palace is guarded by the Imperial Forest Army. Prince Chen needs to think of a foolproof plan.

Luoli reminded, "The chancellor is a good choice, he can help you."

"Hmm." Although he had tasked Ye Xi with the mission, Dugu City was still struggling inside. Should he really lead his troops into the palace to rescue the emperor What would the Empress Dowager do Could the emperor bypass her

"Is Crown Prince Chen worried about the Empress Dowager He's afraid that after rescuing the Emperor, he wouldn't know how the Emperor would handle the Empress Dowager"

Dugu Cheng nodded, "She is after all this king's biological mother. Even though this king wants to rescue the emperor, he doesn't want anything to happen to the Empress Dowager."

"Prince Chen, you should think carefully. The Empress Dowager and Prince Yu are on the same boat. When you enter the palace, how will the Empress Dowager view you What will happen in the future Prince Chen, you must think this through."

"Luo Li, don't scare him. The Crown Prince is also the Empress Dowager's son, he has to consider the legacy left by the late emperor and governing the country. It's truly difficult for him. If you were in his position, you would do the same."

Li Wuyan was in favor of going into the palace to rescue the Emperor because only the Emperor was the rightful Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty. If the Empress Dowager were to take control of the government, she would be plotting against the Emperor, becoming a traitor who must be severely punished.

“The Emperor will definitely try to rescue him. As for the Empress Dowager, if she cannot forgive me, then I can only be unfilial.” Filial piety and loyalty have always been a difficult choice throughout history. If he had to choose, he would still choose to be loyal to his country, because if the country is not in chaos, then the world will be at peace.

"Feel free to ask if you need any help."

After much internal struggle, Li Wuyan decided to join forces with Dugu City.

"When the Emperor is rescued, you check on him. The imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau are all loyal to the Empress Dowager. This Prince fears they won't do their best to save the Emperor."

"Okay."

Dugu City and Li Wuyan joined forces for the first time. Although they both had reservations, they hoped this could be resolved. Emperor Yuan Zhao might not have treated him well over the years, but he had still governed the Great Yuan Dynasty well. Now that Empress Dowager and Prince Yu were plotting to assassinate the emperor, if they were allowed to continue, the Great Yuan Dynasty would eventually be destroyed by them.

Feng Lingxi slept for a while and woke up to find it was already noon. After freshening up, she came out and saw Luo Li and his two companions sitting in the front hall. Feng Lingxi thought she had seen things, rubbed her eyes, and hurried over.

"Luo Li, Li Wu Yan, it really is you two"

獨孤城冇看見風淩兮喊他，心裡不悅，眼睛直直地看著他，可是風淩兮卻冇看他，反而落在他身旁的聖旨上，好奇地湊過去，抓起來看了下，一臉疑惑。

"Where did the imperial edict come from"

Today, when I entered the palace, Zhang Gonggong, who is by the Emperor's side, gave me this. You sit down, and let me slowly tell you about it.

Feng Ling quickly sat beside Dugu Cheng, watching as Luo Li and Li Wu Yan remained silent, quietly listening to Dugu Cheng finish his account of the events at the palace.

"In that case, your power as Regent is greater than that of the Prince. You handle government affairs on behalf of the Emperor, so even the Chancellor would have to listen to you, right"

Dugu Cheng nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi's turning eyes, "Xier, do you have an idea"

“You must have the chancellor read this imperial edict aloud. The chancellor is, after all, your father-in-law and holds considerable power in court. Right now, you stand with him. He will surely support you to save the Emperor. In this way, the chancellor and his influence will come under your command.”

Dugu Cheng smiled and looked at Feng Lingxi with admiration, "Your analysis is very good."

"Waking up, my mind is clear." Luo Li smiled. Hearing these words from Feng Ling Xi's mouth, he was quite pleased, which gave him a little more confidence in Feng Ling Xi.

Feng Ling glanced at them, "Before that, you must take control of all the troops in the city, and you have to find a way to replace some of Wang Yu's men. When you lead your troops into the palace and clash with Wang Yu's people, you can work together inside and out, taking it all in one fell swoop, only then will your chances of winning be high."

"Xi'er is really smart."

Dugu Cheng showered him with praise, he thought the same way, and must stop unnecessary bloodshed.

“However, if you bring troops into the palace, when the Empress Dowager sees you like this, she might find it very embarrassing. When the Emperor rescues you, who knows how he will deal with the Empress Dowager At that time, you might lose her.”

Since ancient times, palace intrigue has been rife. In cases like the Empress Dowager's, there are always sacrifices made. This time, even if the Emperor rescues her, she likely won't be spared. After all, attempting to assassinate the Emperor is a grave crime.

"This king would rather the Emperor allow her to return to the Prince's Manor. This king is willing to care for her until the end of her days."

After rescuing the Emperor, he acted like a loyal subject and requested a reward from the Emperor.

"Have you ever thought about what if the Emperor refused"

Dugu City fell silent. If the emperor refused, wouldn't he really only be able to harm the Empress Dowager He definitely wouldn't agree. He would do everything in his power to protect the Empress Dowager and ensure her safe departure.ress Cen had told him to make amends with Feng Lingxi and hadn't sent any more messages. Dugu Cheng knew that Empress Cen was most likely preoccupied with matters in the capital and unable to spare an...
