In Beiliu, the civil servants and military generals who opposed Duanmu Qin began to gather frequently and plot a coup.

They planned to nominate Duanmu Lei, a distant relative of the Duanmu family, as emperor. This young child was not even three years old, but was regarded as a tool by these officials with ulterior motives.

They attempted to use a young and ignorant child to control the government in order to achieve their own selfish interests.

Duanmu Qin and the fourth prince Chu Cheng'an felt helpless about this situation.

Although they know the truth behind the conspiracy, they seem helpless in the face of such powerful forces.

In the court of Beiliu, most civil officials and military generals expressed their support for Duanmu Lei, while the few who remained neutral just watched coldly and were unwilling to help Duanmu Qin.

However, Duanmu Qin did not give up easily. She knew that if she did not take action, the country would fall into chaos and the people would suffer.

Therefore, she decided to discuss countermeasures with the Fourth Prince Chu Cheng'an. They both understood that force alone could not solve the problem, and that wisdom and strategy were needed to resolve the crisis.

In the following days, Duanmu Qin and Chu Cheng'an rushed around trying to win more support. They visited some ministers loyal to the court, hoping to gain their help.

At the same time, they also actively sought other ways to fight against officials who attempted to usurp the throne.

Chu Cheng'an approached the King of Qin with a worried look on his face and said anxiously, "Second brother! The court of Beiliu is in such a mess right now! Those ministers have actually teamed up to bully Duanmu Qin!"

The King of Qin frowned and replied with displeasure, "You and Duanmu Qin are too kind! Beiliu is in turmoil right now! We must take ruthless measures to deal with this situation!"

Chu Chengan said hesitantly, "But Ah Qin hopes to win over the hearts of these ministers through gentle means and get them to stand on her side."

The King of Qin sneered disdainfully, "These ministers are nominating a three-year-old child to the throne, simply hoping to seize power and profit for their own families! If you don't make up your minds and ruthlessly ruthlessly punish them now, Beiliu will surely be plunged into endless turmoil and chaos!"

Chu Cheng'an pursed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously: "Thank you for the advice, second brother!" He knew very well that he needed to become stronger in order to protect himself and his loved ones.

The King of Qin looked at Chu Cheng'an with satisfaction and said earnestly, "Fourth brother, remember, those who sit in high positions must be ruthless! If you are not ruthless, your position will not be stable! As the emperor's husband, there are some things you don't have to give in to! From now on, the throne of Beiliu will belong to your legitimate son!"

His words were full of expectations and trust in Chu Cheng'an.

After hearing this, Chu Cheng'an's eyes became more profound, and he secretly made up his mind that he must firmly grasp Duanmu Qin's heart and never allow anyone to threaten their relationship.

He wanted to be a strong man, protect the woman he loved, and never let her have another husband.

At this moment, Chu Cheng'an seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast, ready to face the challenges ahead. And all this was just for the woman he loved deeply - Duanmu Qin.

That night, Chu Cheng'an and Duanmu Qin discussed for a long time and finally decided on the next plan.

The next morning, the sun shone on the stone pavement of the palace, and the court officials rushed to the court, ready to start a new day of meetings. However, they had no idea what would happen today.

When Duanmu Qin appeared in the court, everyone was a little surprised. Her eyes were firm and calm, as if she was determined.

Then, a group of guards carried two stretchers into the court. Lying on the stretchers were Duanmu Qin's father and brother - the emperor and the prince.

Everyone watched in shock, their hearts filled with confusion and uneasiness. Duanmu Qin walked to the center of the court and said in a cold voice, "My dear ministers, today I will announce an important matter to you all." She gestured to the eunuch beside her to unfold an imperial edict.

The eunuch's hands trembled as he slowly unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares that Princess Duanmu Qin is virtuous and kind, and loves the people of Beiliu. The Crown Prince and I have little time left, and we can no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility of state. Therefore, we have decided to pass the throne to Princess Duanmu Qin, hoping that she can lead Beiliu to prosperity. I decree!"

After the imperial edict was read, the court fell silent, with everyone's face filled with astonishment. This sudden change caught everyone off guard. Duanmu Qin stood there quietly, waiting for the ministers' reactions.

Prime Minister Bi Ling suddenly said, "Duanmu Qin has not mastered the art of ruling! I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order! Make Duanmu Lei the crown prince!"

This sudden sound broke the silence in the hall and everyone was shocked.

The emperor and the prince lay there quietly. Although they were still breathing, they were only barely kept alive by the imperial physician using ginseng.

Chu Cheng'an raised his lips slightly, and raised an eyebrow towards Duanmu Qin, his eyes full of determination. Duanmu Qin's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Prime Minister Bi Ling is disobeying the order. Drag him away and behead him!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Bi Ling was immediately furious. He glared and roared, "Who dares to do this? Come on! Tie up Duanmu Qin and Chu Cheng'an for me and throw them into the Sky Prison!"

However, the entire hall was silent, and not a single guard or imperial guard appeared.

Prime Minister Bi Ling was startled, realizing that the situation was not good, and shouted again: "Someone come!"

At this tense moment, a steady, powerful sound of footsteps echoed outside the hall, as if foreshadowing the impending arrival of a significant event. Everyone turned to see the King of Qin and Luo Jing, leading the Luo Family Army and the Imperial Guard, escorting Prime Minister Bi Ling and his allies into the hall. Their expressions were solemn, their steps firm, and they exuded a sense of authority and determination.

Prime Minister Bi Ling widened his eyes, pointed at Duanmu Qin angrily, and shouted: "Duanmu Qin, how dare you collude with the enemy country!" His voice was full of indignation and accusations, shaking the entire hall.

However, Chu Cheng'an revealed a hint of a cold smile. He responded fearlessly, "Enemy country? Beiliu is a country that has signed an alliance with Dazhao! Bi Ling, you are the one who colluded with Yuewu Country and sold out your country for personal gain! You should be sentenced to death!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Qin was also furious. She shouted, "Bi Ling is a traitor! His crime is unforgivable! Behead him immediately! Exterminate all nine generations of his clan!"

Duanmu Qin's voice resounded throughout the hall, making people feel her inner anger and her insistence on justice.

Bi Ling was still unwilling to give in. He widened his eyes and yelled hysterically: "Duanmu Qin! Beiliu will be destroyed because of what you did!" His words were full of despair and resentment, but he could no longer change the situation.

Chu Cheng'an flashed and appeared in front of Bi Ling like a ghost. The long knife in his hand flashed with a cold light and instantly chopped off Bi Ling's head.

Blood gushed out, splashing onto the surrounding ministers. They trembled in fear, their faces pale as paper. Then, without hesitation, they knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Highness, we respectfully welcome the Empress to the throne! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

At this time, a eunuch shouted loudly: "The late emperor and the late crown prince have passed away!" His voice echoed in the hall, as if announcing the end of an era.
