Sigh... What a tragedy...
"Your Majesty, things have come to this point. We should clear the Empress's name as soon as possible, uphold justice for her, and let the Empress and the young prince rest in peace."
Di Jingcheng was overcome with grief, and the image of her bluish-purple face and the tragic scene of her dying while pregnant kept appearing before his eyes!
To hell with the imperial power, the court, and the harem. If she could come back, he would never let her suffer again.
He didn't want anything else, he just wanted her back, he just wanted her back! Damn it, what did he do to kill that bright and pure girl with his own hands?
She left her people and homeland, abandoned the monogamous tribe, and resolutely entered the filthy palace to be with him, but he brought her endless disasters and pushed her into hell.
Zheng He stayed with him through the night, but he remained rational, knowing he had important things to do that night.

"Yes, we'll wait until dawn."

Cheng Yi led his men to raise armies in various places, wiping out Nalan's followers in one fell swoop, leaving him with no chance of recovery.
Finally, the entire Nalan faction was executed, along with their entire families; the Dongyang envoy and princess were executed, their heads cut off and returned to the Dongyang Kingdom. From then on, Dongyang submitted to Xijing and dared not act recklessly again.
The rebellion was quelled in just two days. Emperor Cheng's speed exceeded everyone's expectations, but many people did not know how long the planning had taken place and how heavy the price had been paid.
