A somber and terrifying atmosphere permeated the palace. Large raindrops pounded against the earthen-yellow glazed tiles, dripping down their surfaces.
One puddle after another merged together, forming streams.
The water flowing in the stream was stained red, and even the heavy rain could not wash away the strong, pungent smell of blood.
This struggle for imperial power was filled with bloodshed, and countless innocent people died by the swords of the rebels.
However.
This is something that cannot be avoided.
The regent was bound to rebel sooner or later. If the palace had not already arranged for eunuchs and maids to stay in remote palaces, many more innocent people would probably have died by the swords of the rebels.
The dead civilians were seen by the regent as necessary sacrifices.
In this world where human life is treated like dirt, it is extremely difficult for the weak to survive.
No one is lucky enough to live a wealthy and secure life.
Su Ruxue weaved through the palace corridors, running past one palace after another, heading towards the Wolong Palace.
She has figured out the location of all the mechanisms in the Wolong Palace. Once she breaks the mechanisms, she can take down the emperor directly.
The soldiers who entered the palace all had greedy and murderous expressions in their eyes.
When the soldier saw Su Ruxue, he gave a lewd smile and reached out to stop her.
"Which palace maid is this? She's so pretty..."
Su Ruxue slapped their hands away, her fair face darkening, and shouted angrily.
"Get out of my way!"
These rude and clueless soldiers!
"Don't block my way! I'm going to see Puyang Ye!"
The soldiers were silenced by her angry voice.
Just then—
"Let her come over!" came the man's cold voice.
The soldiers felt a chill run down their spines and quickly made way for them.
Su Ruxue rushed over and threw herself into Puyang Ye's arms. She frowned when she smelled the blood on the man and felt a little nauseous.
"Night," she called softly.
Puyang Ye put his arm around the woman's waist and said, "Let's go."
An army marched toward the emperor's bedroom.
Tonight is not a peaceful night.
The emperor's bedroom was surrounded by imperial guards, their expressions stern and their eyes cold.
The men that Puyang Ye brought to capture the emperor were also elite troops. The two groups clashed in a chaotic battle, and blood was sprayed all over the ground.
When Puyang broke into the Wolong Palace at night, he did not find the emperor.
"Report—" a soldier's voice suddenly rang out.
Puyang Ye said with a gloomy face, "Speak!"
The soldier hurriedly reported, "Reporting to the Regent, someone has spotted the Emperor."
Puyang Ye shouted, "Lead the way!"
If the emperor escapes from the capital, then tonight's rebellion will be in vain.
Puyang Ye led his soldiers and hurriedly headed towards another palace.
After crossing the vast square, we arrived at the place where the officials held their morning court session. Inside the extremely luxurious hall, each marble pillar was adorned with a dragon's head.
The majestic dragon throne belonging to emperors—
The boy sat there lazily, holding a sword in one hand and propping his head up with the other.
This calm, composed, and even somewhat nonchalant demeanor contrasted sharply with the regent's filthy appearance.
The regent led his soldiers into the palace.
The young emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice carrying a deep, menacing tone.
"Regent, why have you entered the palace in the middle of the night?"
Puyang Ye's face was extremely ugly.
He went to great lengths to raise the emperor into a tyrant, causing the ministers to fear that the emperor would kill people at the drop of a hat, and thus giving rise to the idea of deposing the tyrant.
Although the tyrant no longer kills indiscriminately, he still plays tricks on the feudal lords for the sake of a woman.
This is an opportunity given to him by God.
The throne should change hands!
