The rebellion of the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince was within Mingzhu's calculations. The woman whose child Mingzhu had aborted did not leave but stayed by her side to work.

"My fifth and seventh brothers are trying to harm me, Yuqin. If I kill them, wouldn't you feel bad?"

Yu Qin is the princess who was the domineering prince who fell in love with me and then ran away with her baby.

"What does it have to do with me? They're the ones who are paying me to be with them."

"They were obviously just infatuated with me and had never seen anyone like me before. Plus, they were mortal enemies, so they fought over me. After we got married, even the best cinnabar mole will turn into mosquito blood."

Mingzhu looked in the mirror and gave a charming hum.

"A heartless, wicked woman."

"Who are you talking about, An Mingzhu?"

Yuqin tugged at her hair. Today, Princess Mingzhu was in a playful mood and asked Yuqin to style her hair like a female knight-errant. And now, her hair was in someone else's hands.

"I'm talking to you! They've both slept with you, and you're still so heartless!"

"Bullshit! I slept with your fifth brother, and he was under the influence of aphrodisiacs."

"Even a single night of marriage brings a hundred nights of affection!"

Mingzhu tilted her head and snatched the hair from Yuqin's hand, saying as she did so.

"I'm a female thief, a thief is a bad person by nature, isn't it necessary to be hard-hearted? And you call yourself a princess? You bully all those ladies in your harem like they're nothing!"

"What's it to me? Who told them to come over and show off to me first!"

"Princess, you mustn't use foul language!"

"I don't care! I'm going to say it! Your benefactor's daughter committed murder!"

"Don't you dare speak ill of my benefactor's daughter!"

The two were arguing so loudly inside the room that Princess Mingzhu's maids didn't move an inch, as they were used to it.

"And you know I'm a princess, yet you still pulled my hair?"

"I'd love to!"

Empress Xu had just come to find her daughter, wanting to talk to her about something, when she saw the two of them fighting.

I don't know why my daughter started learning martial arts after returning from Da'an. I heard that my daughter and the Prince of Zhenbei have a good relationship and often exchange letters.

but……

No matter how hard you train, daughter, you can't compare to the Prince of Zhenbei.

After Yuqin finished combing Princess Mingzhu's hair, she followed her to the Emperor's bedroom. Now Yuqin was Princess Mingzhu's personal bodyguard.

Even the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince couldn't do anything about it, since their power was not as great as Mingzhu's.

"Father, why don't you pass the throne to me? Look, doesn't your daughter look quite pretty dressed up as the Crown Prince? No, I should be the Crown Princess."

"Ever since you fell seriously ill, I have been diligently overseeing the country and have given my fifth and seventh brothers a good scolding. Look at all the court officials outside now, which one of them doesn't praise me?"

Mingzhu knelt on the ground, her head resting in the palm of Emperor Da'an.

"Father, you used to love touching my head when I was little. You love me and dote on me so much, why don't you give the throne to your daughter?"

"Fifth and Seventh Brothers are no match for me in any way. Just because I'm a woman, does that mean I can't inherit the Great An?"

In fact, Emperor Da'an on the bed was too weak to speak due to the medicine. Yu Qin stood beside him, watching Princess Mingzhu's happy performance.

She's just trying to comfort herself...

It would be better to just do the opposite.

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the palace.

"Father, listen, Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother are here to force the emperor to abdicate."

"They, they're going to bully Mingzhu..."

At this point, Princess Mingzhu, who had just been acting coquettishly, suddenly remembered something and stood up from the ground.

He looked at the Emperor of Da'an with a serious expression and resentment.

“But…you always turned a blind eye when they bullied me since I was a child.”

What constitutes bullying?

Perhaps, for Mingzhu, the disdain shown by the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince when she took the kite to play with her brother was considered bullying.

In their hearts, Mingzhu only knew these things.

He wouldn't even deign to glance at her.

After saying that, Mingzhu smiled again and said softly:

“It’s alright. This time, my daughter can avenge herself.”

Outside the emperor's palace, the fifth and seventh princes, clad in armor, shouted loudly from the steps outside the gate:

“Mingzhu, you are a woman, yet you hold the emperor hostage to command the princes! You use the emperor’s jade seal to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the court, Da’an! There are no rules that allow women to have the final say.”

"Mingzhu, you've prevented us from seeing Father Emperor for so many days. Is Father Emperor imprisoned by you and unable to leave the palace? Today, my seventh brother and I have come to purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"Considering that you are our sister, if you surrender now, your brother will not harm you in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Mingzhu turned around and looked at Yuqin.

He said softly:

"Let's go?"

The woman in black nodded and said:

"Walk."

—Squeak

The door was opened by a young eunuch, and two beautiful young women emerged from the emperor's bedroom.

A woman dressed entirely in black was the beloved of the two princes. The moment Mingzhu saw her, he could clearly see that his two brothers were somewhat stunned.

"Hey hey hey! There's a palace coup! Why are you looking at her? Look at me!"

When Mingzhu saw that her role as the main character had been taken away, she was very unhappy and clapped her hands to make her two brothers look at her.

"Yuqin?"

"Aqin?"

The woman in black rolled her eyes upwards.

"Get out of here!"

"Mingzhu, why is Yuqin standing with you?" the Seventh Prince questioned.

"No, she's my personal guard, a bodyguard, you understand? Someone who's close to me, isn't it only natural that she'd work for me and be with me?"

Are you two sick?

“You shouldn’t let her get involved in the rebellion.”

"Mingzhu, surrender now. Hand over your father and the imperial seal, and your fifth brother will guarantee your life."
