Linghu Lan was woken up by someone.

"Regent, Regent, wake up! The Third Princess has rebelled!"

The speaker was a female official, her voice filled with anxiety.

Linghu Lan was suddenly awakened.

She sat up abruptly.

The system displayed the difficulty level.

[Story Difficulty: 5 stars]

In a flash, she understood her situation.

Her arrival coincided with Jiang Xinwei's entry into the capital city with her troops, and she was about to massacre the palace in no time.

If she doesn't act quickly, she might be on her way to a chubby dog's death!

wipe!

As expected, it's a five-star difficulty level, and it's extremely urgent.

"Guannei City!" she shouted.

"yes!"

The female official panicked and rushed out shouting all the way.

Linghu Lan sat up, and two palace maids immediately came forward to help her change her clothes.

Just as she finished dressing, a small figure, dressed in a pure white undergarment, ran barefoot into the inner room.

"Eleventh Imperial Aunt".

Several female officials followed behind.

"Your Majesty! Slow down! You're not dressed yet!"

Imperial Aunt?

emperor?

Jiang Wujiang, daughter of Princess Jiang Wandai?

"puff!"

Linghu Lan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

I didn't realize I was from such a high generation.

So, she's the female lead's imperial aunt?

Hahahaha!

The slight unpleasantness Linghu Lan felt from being attacked by the female lead vanished completely in an instant.

My lady, your period has started!

She glanced at Jiang Wujiang again.

In the dim, flickering candlelight, Jiang Wujiang's small figure seemed to emanate a faint white light, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Linghu Lan felt suffocated after just one glance.

Then……

Resolutely bowing to the forces of cuteness.

She hurried forward and scooped Jiang Wujiang up in her arms.

"Wujiang, what's wrong?"

There's a noise outside!

Jiang Wujiang was only four years old and was the youngest daughter of Jiang Wandai. Her older sister, who was an adult, had been killed by the emperor, and her other brothers had been exiled.

She was the only one who, because of her young age and the emperor's constant favor, was spared from being implicated and was raised in the palace.

During the struggle for the throne, the other princesses didn't take this niece seriously, just as they hadn't taken Jiang Xinwei seriously in the past.

However……

In the end, it was precisely these two who slipped through the net who emerged victorious.

Both of them became emperors, but Jiang Wujiang died young while Jiang Xinwei lived a long life.

so……

Sometimes, achieving victory isn't difficult; you just need to live long enough to outlive your opponent.

Linghu Lan thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Xinwei has raised an army in rebellion. You are the emperor, so you should go up to the city wall with me to surrender the rebels. Are you afraid?"

Jiang Wujiang's bright eyes were filled with sorrow, and he said in a trembling voice with tears in his eyes, "I'm afraid! Third Imperial Aunt wants to kill me!"

Linghu Lan's heart clenched instantly.

Although Jiang Wujiang was young, he had already seen many life and death, and was a child who had survived in piles of dead bodies.

"I'm afraid too! But Wujiang is very powerful. You are the rightful emperor. Anyone who disobeys the emperor's orders is a traitor. Later, on the city wall, you only need to say one sentence: 'Traitors are subject to the law. I am ordained by Heaven. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be struck down by the thunder of the heavens. Do you understand?"

Tears welled up in Jiang Wujiang's eyes, but he finally felt a little more at ease and nodded through his tears.

Say it once, I want to hear it!

Jiang Wujiang nodded and repeated it twice before finally getting it right.

Linghu Lan composed herself. At this moment, the palace was in complete chaos, with palace maids, servants, female officials, and attendants all in disarray.

Linghu Lan shouted, "Everyone, return to your rooms! Anyone who disobeys orders and wanders around will be executed without mercy!"
