During this long wait, she remained silent, yet with an invisible force, she controlled the entire situation, making everyone deeply aware of her status and influence in the court.
This dramatic turn of events, like a violent storm, shattered the illusions of those newly arrived officials.
They awoke as if from a dream, staring blankly at everything that was happening before them, their hearts filled with shock and fear.
They finally realized that the gap between themselves and these two powerful figures in the court was like the difference between heaven and earth, a chasm that they could not cross even if they devoted their entire lives to it.
They are merely pawns in this chess game of the imperial court, insignificant in the vortex of power, and could be mercilessly swallowed up if they are not careful.
Losing their official positions and being dismissed from their posts might be considered a lucky outcome for them; otherwise, the lives of their entire families could be lost in this game of power.
Looking across the entire court, if anyone could pose even the slightest threat to Prime Minister Su and Prince Jinrui Zhao, it would perhaps be the Left Prime Minister and the general who held military power, working together.
However, as the biological father of King Jinrui Zhao, Prime Minister Qin doted on his daughter from a young age, regarding her as the apple of his eye.
He watched his daughter grow up step by step, feeling proud of every step she took and heartbroken for every setback she faced.
In his heart, his daughter's happiness and safety were above all else. How could he possibly harm his own flesh and blood for some vague and intangible benefits?
As for those generals, they had followed King Jinrui Zhao in his campaigns across the north and south, and through the baptism of blood and fire, they had forged a bond of life and death with King Zhao.
In every battle, they fought side by side, sharing life and death; in every victory, they cheered together and shared their joy.
To them, King Zhao was not only a prince, but also a pillar of strength and a backbone, someone they were willing to swear allegiance to and never abandon.
They treated King Zhao as if he were a rare treasure, remaining loyal and utterly devoted.
Thinking of this, the officials felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.
Their legs trembled slightly, and a deep sense of lingering fear welled up inside them.
They secretly rejoiced that they had not yet put that foolish plan into action; otherwise, what awaited them now would probably be an abyss of no return.
Mu Yunxi keenly noticed all these subtle changes in expression.
Mu Yunxi stood quietly to the side, her posture upright, like an ancient pine tree, standing firm in the storm.
She was dressed in a smart military uniform, with a gleaming longsword at her waist, exuding the heroic spirit of someone who had been through many battles.
Her eyes were sharp and keen, like a falcon in the night sky, able to perceive every subtle change.
She took in the changes in the expressions of the officials standing close together behind her, and a mocking sneer crept onto her lips.
That smile was fleeting, yet it was filled with disdain and contempt for these people.
In her view, these people were nothing but clowns, overestimating their abilities to perform on the stage of power, and would only become a laughing stock in the end.
Then, she casually looked away, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a passing cloud.
Mu Yunxi is not just a martial artist who only knows how to wield a long sword and fight on the battlefield.
Her years of fighting not only honed her martial arts skills, making her invincible on the battlefield.
It further honed her character and wisdom, enabling her to navigate complex and ever-changing situations with ease.
She is also a master at understanding people's hearts. With her profound insight into human nature and her keen observation, she can always accurately grasp the thoughts and intentions of others.
Her proudest victory in winning hearts and minds relied on her exceptional eloquence, keen insight, and extraordinary courage.
They successfully lured the female general of Youmeng Kingdom to their side.
That battle was a classic; she went deep into the enemy camp and had a long talk with the enemy's female general all night long.
She skillfully used words, appealing to emotions and reasoning with people, analyzing everything logically and clearly, from national righteousness to personal ambitions, from the battlefield situation to future prospects.
Ultimately, they successfully persuaded the female general to willingly switch sides.
That battle not only expanded the country's territory, but also left a significant mark on her legacy.
Years later, whenever she recalls that experience, she still feels extremely proud, and it remains an indelible and glorious memory in her heart.
Qin Qianluo was unaware of what was happening in the Golden Palace. She was currently leaning back comfortably in her chair, a loose court robe casually draped over her graceful figure.
Her eyes were lightly closed, and her breathing was even. At first glance, she seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream, but that was not the case.
If you look closely, the slight upturn of her lips and the occasional soft chuckles she lets out in response to the funny images on the screen reveal her secret of "pretending to sleep."
At this moment, her mind and body were completely immersed in this small world of joy, and the noise and disturbances of the outside world seemed to be from another world, all shut out.
The Empress lay in bed for a long time, her face gradually regaining some color from its initial paleness, and she finally came to her senses.
Upon hearing the news, the Emperor rushed over with concern and anticipation, followed by two experienced and respectful wet nurses holding the infant.
The Emperor hurried into the inner chamber, his face bearing a gentle and concerned smile, a smile as warm as the spring sun, brimming with deep affection and care for the Empress over the years.
However, the scene before him as soon as he stepped into the inner room was like a heavy hammer blow, instantly pinning him to the spot.
