That night, the Golden Palace seemed to have been washed in blood, with rivers of blood flowing everywhere.

The next day, the story of the first female emperor spread throughout Tianqi. This woman led her soldiers to attack the tribes that had invaded the border, reformed the palace, replaced the court with a new group of officials, and was diligent in governing and loved the people. Her officials also loved the people like their own children.

In the Golden Palace, Shen Yi, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat steadily on the dragon throne, with Shang Xian, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, sitting beside him.

The two got along exceptionally well.

Three people rushed into the Golden Palace. No one stopped them, because Shen Yi had decreed that they did not need to be stopped.

Rong Ling, Dugu Lianbai, and Yu Hanzhi.

When the three of them entered and saw Shang Xian and Shen Yi, they were all stunned. This was...

Shang Xian smiled gently at them.

“You…” Rong Ling pointed at Shang Xian and then at Shen Yi. What did this mean?

Unexpectedly, what they heard was true; fortunes change, and now a new dynasty has indeed been established.

"Your Majesty, Prince Lian is still Prince Lian, Yu Hanzhi is still the Prime Minister, and Rong Ling is still that arrogant young marquis, right?" Shang Xian asked Shen Yi.

"They remain the same as always, and the Empress is still the Empress, always will be," he said slowly, but Shang Xian's eyes reddened.

"I never expected that the person who said those words to me would be a woman. This is really too much." Shang Xian wiped his eyes.

The third son, standing beside the Golden Palace, was even more puzzled. They looked so harmonious, like an old married couple? It seemed they really had gone mad to think that way.

[Ding—Mission complete! Loading for "The First Empress" is complete!]

The same thought popped into both of their minds at the same time, and Shang Xian was so happy he could jump for joy.

Shang Xian and Shen Yi exchanged a glance, and understood each other perfectly.

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore," Shang Xian stood up, took off the phoenix crown from her head, and placed it on the chair.

This really baffled the three people below.

"Ayi, is it over?" Shang Xian asked him with a smile.

"Announcing the imperial decree," Shen Yi smiled gently in response.

The eunuch beside him immediately began to proclaim the imperial edict: "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that I abdicate from this day forth, and the throne shall be inherited by Dugu Lianbai, a descendant of the Dugu family. This is the imperial decree—"

The hall fell silent again. What was going on?

Dugu Lianbai was completely devastated. What kind of mess is this?!

"I really can't stand Dugu Qianchen. He doesn't keep his word, which is really annoying. But there's no need for me to stay trapped in this deep palace. So I'm leaving. Prince Lian, you must govern Tianqi well and not follow Dugu Qianchen's old path!" Shang Xian walked to Dugu Lianbai's side and reminded him.

"Also, if you like a woman, then never marry another woman. Otherwise, you won't be able to give her what she wants, and you'll hurt others. Lian Bai, keep going! I believe in you, go for it!" Shang Xian nodded heavily at him and handed him the national seal.

Dugu Lianbai's lips twitched, and he didn't take the imperial seal. Shang Xian forced it on him: "Take it quickly!"

Shang Xian turned to look at Shen Yi, who was walking slowly towards her, and reached out her hand. Shen Yi took her hand and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Whatever, anywhere in the world is fine," Shang Xian stuck out her tongue at him.

The two, dressed in dragon and phoenix robes, left the Golden Palace hand in hand, leaving a group of people bewildered in the wind.

Rong Ling sighed, "I finally understand."

"Understand what?" Dugu Lianbai still didn't understand.

"So Lan Ning was that man, the man named Yi."
