After reading the letter, Zhao Huan sneered: "What were you doing earlier? The King of Goryeo is thinking of me now."

Linghu Yunlong asked, "Your Majesty, Princess Yanran has arrived at the post station. How should this matter be handled? Lord Li Gang and his men are unable to make the decision, so I would like to ask Your Majesty for a decision."

…

The Goryeo Kingdom has been tottering for hundreds of years but has not collapsed. I think it must have its own unique features.

After King Wang Kai ascended the throne, power was held by his grandfather Li Ziqian. In fact, Wang Kai was just a puppet.

Li Ziqian was a relative of the emperor and held a large number of troops, making him the ruler of Korea.

The officials in the court were afraid of Li Ziqian's tyranny and all submitted to him.

When Wang Kai's mother, the Queen Mother Wen Jing, was alive, Li Ziqian treated her with respect for his daughter's sake. After the Queen Mother Wen Jing died, Li Ziqian became even more arrogant and domineering, and King Wang Kai was just a figurehead.

Finally, Li Ziqian couldn't help himself and took action. He led his army to surround the palace, hoping to force Wang Kai to abdicate and ascend the throne himself.

At this time, the Goryeo palace was in chaos, with weapons clashing and soldiers fighting everywhere.

King Wang Kai of Goryeo retreated to the main hall, accompanied by his queen Zhang Henshui and concubine Park Zihui.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Zhang Henshui grabbed Wang Kai's arm tightly, and the three of them huddled on the throne in the palace.

At this time, Wang Kai was already at a loss, and his concubine Pu Zihui was huddled beside him, trembling.

At this time, the guard general Song Mingji rushed in covered in blood with a girl holding a long sword.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with the charming eyes unique to Korean women, and she was also extremely beautiful.

A few drops of blood stained the girl's face, and the bloodstains on her white dress resembled plum blossoms. She dropped her sword and rushed over, "Father!" It was Princess Yanran.

Wang Kai lovingly reached out and held his daughter's hand, and asked with concern: "Yan'er, are you okay?"

Princess Yanran shook her head: "Father, I'm fine. I'll help you fight them out!" As she said that, she was about to help Wang Kai.

At this time, the sound of soldiers fighting outside was getting closer. Guard Song Mingji turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the rebels have already attacked. Please take shelter quickly."

Yanran pulled Wang Kai, who shook his head and said in despair, "Father can't escape. Yan'er, quickly escape from the side rooms in the harem. There are no enemy soldiers there for the time being. Hurry!"

Princess Yanran was unwilling to leave: "No, father, I want to stay with you."

Wang Kai was very anxious: "After all, your grandmother is also Li Ziqian's daughter. He won't kill your father for your grandmother's sake. Go quickly, go quickly!"

Yanran cried and shook her head: "Father, I'm not going anywhere, not going!"

Wang Kai handed a letter to his daughter. "Yan'er, listen! Go to the Song Dynasty and ask for help. Ask the Emperor to send troops to wipe out the rebels. Go! Go quickly!"

His concubine Pu Zihui asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the Mongol Kingdom to ask for troops, but go to the Song Dynasty instead?"

Wang Kai turned around and shouted angrily, "It was the Mengwu Kingdom that colluded with Li Ziqian to rebel! How can you let me go to the Mengwu Kingdom again?"

Pu Zihui said in a low voice: "But, but the Song Dynasty's attitude towards our Goryeo..." She didn't dare to continue. What Zhao Huan hated the most was the Goryeo country.

Wang Kai sighed, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have surrendered to the Mongols in the first place. Who knew they would betray us and conspire with Li Ziqian to rebel?"

"Your Majesty! I can't hold on any longer!" Song Mingji retreated to the edge of the battle. The rebels outside the palace were getting closer and closer, and the sounds of fighting among the palace guards were getting less and less. It seemed that they had been almost all killed.

Wang Kai was extremely anxious and desperately urged his daughter, "Yan'er, hurry up! Hurry up! A horse has been prepared for you outside the palace. Take your father's letter and go to the Song Dynasty!"

The sound of fighting outside was getting closer, and the Queen also hurriedly shouted: "Princess, leave quickly! Leave quickly!"

Princess Yanran gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes, put the letter in her arms, picked up her sword and rushed to the harem. At this time, the rebels had already attacked the harem, and two rebels blocked Princess Yanran's way.

Princess Yanran raised her sword and killed one of the rebels, but she didn't expect that the other rebel was the leader Li Shun. He was a skilled martial artist, and after several rounds of fighting, Princess Yanran was no match for him.

Seeing that Princess Yanran was about to be captured, the guard general Song Mingji rushed over to block Li Shun's sword and said, "Princess, leave quickly!"

Princess Yanran didn't care about anything else and fled to the backyard. Suddenly, a scream came from behind her. She turned around and saw that Song Mingji had been knocked to the ground by Li Shun.

Yanran ran out with tears in her eyes, and Li Shun raised his knife to chase her. Just as he took a step, his right foot was suddenly grabbed tightly by someone. It was the guard Song Mingji.

Blood gushed out of Song Mingji's mouth, but he kept shouting, "Princess, run! Run!"

Princess Yanran wiped her tears, ran out of the harem, and came to the side door used by servants. After opening the door, she found that there were no rebels attacking, just as her father had said.

A servant had been waiting outside the gate with a white horse. When he saw Princess Yanran rushing out of the palace gate, he was immediately overjoyed: "Princess, get on the horse quickly!"

Princess Yanran rushed forward and discovered that it was her father's most favored eunuch, An Quan. As she took the reins, a whoosh! An arrow flew out and struck An Quan squarely in the back.

An Dequan spat out a mouthful of blood and threw the reins of his horse: "Princess, run away!"

"Don't let her run away!" The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and the rebels behind had caught up.

Princess Yanran mounted her horse and galloped away, the rebels behind her seeming to be catching up.

This was a dirt road used by servants to deliver miscellaneous items to the palace. Fortunately, the road was very narrow and could only accommodate two horses walking side by side.

Na An was shot in the back and was already dead. He picked up a thick wooden stick from the side of the road and placed it across the middle of the road.

The rebels chased him and the leading general wanted to trample him to death, but An Dequan made a desperate move and hit the horse's leg with his stick.

The horse was galloping when it suddenly fell. The general on horseback was obviously a veteran of many battles. He was not panicked when he fell from the horse. He swung his sword and killed An Dequan.

But the horse's sudden appearance made it impossible for the pursuers to catch up. By the time the soldiers dismounted and pushed the horses aside to clear the road, Princess Yanran had already gone far away.

Li Ziqian, full of pride, arrived at the main hall with his generals, while King Wang Kai and his queen remained seated on the throne.

Li Ziqian laughed heartily: "My dear son-in-law, I told you not to resist, but you refused to listen. Now so many people have been killed, and it's all your fault."

He didn't even call him "Your Majesty", but simply called him "son-in-law".

The queen was furious and pointed at him, saying, "Shameless old scoundrel! How dare you say such a thing? You are plotting to usurp the throne. How can you face Queen Dowager Wenjing in the underworld?"

Queen Zhang Henshui's words were righteous and stern, leaving Li Ziqian speechless.

After a while, Li Ziqian, at his wit's end, angrily said, "This throne is mine! I, Goryeo, founded the country without the title of emperor. Kublai Khan has already promised that I can be crowned emperor after I ascend the throne. Why don't you issue an edict to abdicate?"
