Now the feudal states are in complete chaos, each vying for supremacy, and the new king is merely a figurehead.

[Actually, it's not entirely a formality; at least for now, the feudal lords are fighting each other, and none of them have attacked the new king.]

[That's true. I saw an episode where a strategist's entire family was killed by the State of Xu, and he fled to the State of Tian. I felt that this person must be an important figure, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Taking advantage of the fact that the States of Wei and Xu had finished fighting and that Xu was recuperating, he launched a surprise attack and marched all the way to the capital of Xu! What kind of plot is this from a web novel?!]

[Haha, there really weren't any superfluous people. Every seemingly insignificant character the camera panned across seemed to have a big role to play in the end. A prince of Zhou bought a slave whose family had been killed by the Yellow Turbans and even named the slave Tian Guang. At the time, I felt that this Tian Guang looked quite extraordinary, so I paid attention to him. As it turned out, later when Zhou fought against the Yellow Turbans, this Tian Guang became increasingly brave in battle.]

Indeed, because every seemingly insignificant character has the potential to have a breakthrough later on, it makes you unconsciously become more serious when watching.

[Holy crap, I underestimated the new king! Xu Kingdom, being close to the capital, was ambushed by Tian Kingdom. Tian Kingdom seized the part of the territory closest to it, while the new king took the other half. It's amazing!!! I thought the new king was some nobody. I immediately apologize on the spot _(:3」∠)_]

The new king is indeed fierce!! Decisive and ruthless!!

Why didn't the State of Tian take advantage of the situation and seize the capital?

[What have we taken?! The emperor's title is still valid. If the State of Tian dares to attack the capital and the emperor today, the other vassal states will have a reason to attack Tian. So the new king's move is essentially stealing from these face-conscious vassal states, and they can only swallow this humiliation.]

Indeed, this title still holds sway; once someone breaks it, the others will purge the court of corrupt officials. They probably all wanted to save the emperor for last, but this has inadvertently given the new king an opportunity to expand.

The new king smiled as he looked at the results of this expedition; the map of the capital city had expanded considerably.

In fact, we have to thank Meng Nu for this. Young Master Tian wanted to help Tian State attack Xu State from both inside and outside, since Xu State was surrounded by the capital and Tian State. He sent Meng Nu to steal his military seal.

The new queen used a clever scheme, seemingly helping Prince Tian, ​​but actually to seize other territories of the Xu Kingdom. After the Tian Kingdom attacked, she divided up the spoils, proving herself to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Thinking of this, she looked at Qiao, the concubine of Young Master Tian, ​​and raised the corners of her mouth. If Young Master Tian was trying to steal her man, then her stealing Young Master Tian's man would be following suit.

"Your Majesty, Lady Meng requests an audience."

"I won't see her. Let her kneel if she wants to."

After this incident, the noble families in the capital also benefited to some extent; at least their praise at court assemblies became more sincere.

As for Meng Nu, that fool who dared to steal the military tally after being easily seduced by a philandering playboy, even if she didn't get her hands dirty, the Meng family would still marry her off to another family.

As for marrying Meng's daughter to Young Master Tian, ​​as long as the Meng family still wants to survive in the capital, they won't risk their entire family's lives by betting on Young Master Tian.

Tsk tsk tsk, tell me, a well-bred young lady from a respectable family, for the sake of so-called love, is ultimately forced to marry into a remote area and be abandoned by her family.

When the new king came out of his palace, he found that Meng Nu was still there. Looking at the dew on Meng Nu's hair and clothes, he was surprised that Meng Nu had been kneeling from yesterday to the next day.

You idiot, why didn't you do this sooner?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me! I don't want to be married off to the State of Wei! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, only you can save me..."

The new king pulled his sleeve aside, his thin gaze sweeping over Meng Nu, "Useless thing."

Meng Nu slumped to the ground, watching the new king's carriage disappear into the distance, her eyes vacant, muttering, "I'm not, I'm not... I'm useful... I'm useful..."

Holy crap, what on earth happened in those last few minutes?!

[I'm totally confused! Why is Meng Nu lying on the ground in a daze in the first scene, and then suddenly she's in front of Young Master Tian in the next, and then she's holding Young Master Tian's head in the court the following time?! What happened?! The amount of information is overwhelming!!!]

[My brain went blank too. I watched the last ten minutes on Feiyang Entertainment over and over again. Meng Nu was crying, Meng Nu had her back to the camera, and Young Master Tian was leisurely drinking tea. Then, in the next shot, Meng Nu was covered in blood, carrying Young Master Tian's head all the way from his house to the imperial court. Holy crap, that was so sudden!!!]

[Didn't you see how terrified the ministers in the court were? They were reporting their findings when a head rolled in.]

[Oh my god, I was completely captivated by the new king's last smile~ Oh no, I'm totally shipping the new king and Meng Nu now, I saw so much doting affection in that smile!!!]

【Seriously, upstairs, are you really that good at shipping?! You can even ship someone over a laugh that's only a few seconds long?!】

[I've already edited a video of the two as a couple, called "Heart Gate CP." Check out my homepage; it's incredibly sweet. One is a refined young lady, the other a princess walking on thin ice. She removes all obstacles for her, and in return, she gives her a glorious future.]

[Wait, is there something wrong with this woman, Meng? She seems a bit mentally unstable.]

[I have to say, this whole thing is really baffling. How could Meng Nu walk out of Young Master Tian's house covered in blood and emerge unharmed? It's too unbelievable!]

[What are you thinking? Lady Meng is from a noble family. The people in Young Master Tian's household wouldn't dare to make a move, because they don't know she came on her own. They probably think the new king sent her. Just imagine, Lady Meng went straight to Young Master Tian's house after leaving the palace.]
