"Night, I miss you so much."
Puyang Ye, however, was more rational than the woman. Her tone was somewhat cold as she said, "You shouldn't have left the palace."
Su Ruxue was a little angry, and said in a stronger tone, "I did it all for you!"
She turned her back, and said in a muffled, aggrieved voice, "If you don't want me to come..."
Puyang Ye sensed something else in her words and immediately hugged her, saying, "I was worried about you, Ruxue. Why did you leave the palace in the middle of the night?"
Just as he expected, Su Ruxue said next, "You need to prepare to take action."
A look of ecstatic joy flashed in Puyang Ye's eyes. He immediately turned the woman around and grabbed her arms.
Are you serious?
Su Ruxue frowned, feeling a bit of pain from being pinched, and said, "Let go first."
Puyang Ye then released his grip, asking anxiously, "Which day? Is this news true?"
Su Ruxue frowned and said, "It's absolutely true. I was in the palace during the day and heard the Consort say it herself. She said that in two days the Emperor would roast meat for her at the beacon tower."
This is truly absurd; the emperor was actually grilling meat for his concubine on a beacon tower.
But this absurd thing is exactly what some people like.
For example, Regent Prince Puyang Ye.
A wild light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Ru Xue, you go back to the palace first, and don't let anyone find out."
Su Ruxue nodded and said, "Get ready, I will give you a signal."
Puyangye nodded and rose to see her out of the study.
Despite her physical discomfort, Su Ruxue secretly returned to the inner palace, unaware that her every move was being observed.
Puyang Ye immediately summoned his ministers and subordinates who were willing to follow him. After discussing the matter, they decided to take a desperate gamble and seize the imperial city on the day when the beacon fires were lit to amuse the feudal lords.
Wisps of smoke rose straight up from the beacon towers on the city wall.
One after another, smoke signals were lit, stretching into the distance. As night fell, the vast and magnificent landscape was almost entirely ablaze with fire.
The young emperor, standing on a high place, held the girl in his arms and gazed into the distance.
Looking at the undulating, rolling mountains in the night, Fu Sang sighed, "No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor..."
Puyang Tang glanced at her and said, "In my eyes, the vast land is not as beautiful as your smile. I am also glad that I am the master of this land, so that I can protect you in my arms."
A woman of unparalleled beauty can only be won over and protected by the supreme imperial power.
The night breeze brought a touch of coolness.
Fu Sang leaned closer to him and said, "It looks like it's raining."
Rain means that the smoke signals will be extinguished.
Puyang Tang said calmly, "Don't worry, they were prepared."
The cold, merciless rain of the night will wash away the bloodstains in the Kyoto Imperial City.
"Your Majesty," the captain of the Imperial Guards called out.
Puyang Tang turned around with the girl in his arms.
"It's time."
The Imperial Guards were all lined up. Their main responsibility was the emperor's safety, unlike the emperor's secret guards, who were also tasked with assassinating those the emperor wanted to kill.
They had to be wherever the emperor was.
The Imperial Guards were soldiers carefully selected from the army, and were more courageous and skilled in battle than ordinary soldiers.
The group descended the city wall and returned to the palace.
It was midnight.
The palace gates opened, and the army under the regent's command marched into the palace in a grand procession.
The battle has officially begun.
The palace was flooded, and flames were burning everywhere.
The eunuchs and palace maids screamed for help in terror and fled in panic.
