Dongdong smiled and winked at Jiang Jingyu with a look that said, "I understand you."
[Who's going to be with us? Xiaodong naturally thinks of the host first when it comes to this kind of good thing!]
"Not bad, not bad. The little leather shoes were not given in vain."
Jiang Jingyu raised the corner of her mouth, bent down and approached Dongdongyao. Her hand, which was originally intended to fall on Dongdongyao's head, finally fell on its shoulder.
Brother Dong is a sophisticated man, his hairstyle can’t be messy!
[However, host, don't be too happy too soon. Although the people of the Celestial Empire have no problem with the Empress's promiscuous nature, some people have long been dissatisfied with her.]
After hearing about the palace fight, Jiang Jingyu's expression instantly became serious: "Who?"
[The second princess of the Celestial Empire, and the empress's younger sister, Jiang Jinghe.]
Jiang Jingyu narrowed her eyes. After learning that the person who was dissatisfied with the empress was her younger sister Jiang Jinghe, she had some guesses in her mind.
"Jiang Jinghe also wants to be the empress?"
Dongdongyao gave Jiang Jingyu a thumbs-up: [Correct answer.]
[The Celestial Empire prioritizes the most virtuous over the eldest. Aside from her martial arts skills, the Empress surpasses her younger sister Jiang Jinghe in every other area. Her ascension to the throne wasn't due to her status as the eldest princess, but rather her exceptional ability to govern.]
Jiang Jingyu touched his chin and secretly speculated, "So the empress's strange illness is also related to this sister?"
Judging from the current situation, Jiang Jinghe is inextricably linked to this. The Empress has always suspected that she was behind this, but there is no evidence to prove that this was Jiang Jinghe's doing. The Empress has no way to investigate.
[Plus, the Empress had promised the Empress Mother that blood ties were strong and could not be abandoned, so this matter could only be left unresolved. However, Xiaodong still wants to remind the host to be more careful with Jiang Jinghe. She is a naive person in front of others, but a scheming woman behind others.]
Jiang Jingyu nodded: "Who is the male protagonist of this small world?"
[The Empress's loyal secret guard - Mingyou.]
Jiang Jingyu raised an eyebrow. "The Romantic Empress and the Loyal Secret Guard? Ahem, hurry up and teleport! As the current King of Scrolls, I can't wait to complete the mission!"
Dongdongyao's mouth twitched: [I think the host can't wait to see the handsome guy with abs...]
Dongdongyao ruthlessly saw through Jiang Jingyu's thoughts, operated the electronic screen in front of him, and when he clicked the confirm button, Jiang Jingyu's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Jiang Jingyu, I'm going to kill you!"
Jiang Jingyu was wearing a light gauze skirt and soaking in a medicinal bath, enduring the pain in her head as if it was about to explode. At this time, an angry roar came from outside the hall!
Jiang Jingyu's entire body was immersed in the dark medicinal bath, with only her head exposed. When she heard the harsh shouting outside the door, she wanted to speak, but the intense pain made her entire body tremble uncontrollably.
"ah--"
Jiang Jingyu screamed in pain and pounded her head with her hands. The palace maids were shocked and rushed towards the bathing pool.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?"
"Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician!"
Suddenly, the hall was in chaos, and the palace servants rushed forward to stop Jiang Jingyu from hitting her head, fearing that she would hurt herself.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please stop fighting. Please don't hurt yourself!"
There was chaos inside the hall, and the situation outside was not much better.
"How dare you! You actually broke into His Majesty's bedroom with a knife. What do you intend, General Yan?!"
The head nanny of the Yutian Palace shouted angrily at General Yan who was rushing towards the palace with a knife.
"Jiang Jingyu is a womanizer. He caused my son to be poisoned and his life is unknown. He is not worthy of being the emperor!"
"Today, I will avenge my son. If Madam Xiang insists on stopping me, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!"
General Yan's eyes turned red with anger, and after he finished speaking, he broke into the Yutian Palace with a knife.
"Come here, protect the emperor, quickly protect the emperor!"
When Nanny Xiang saw that she was serious, she shouted loudly, then turned around and ran back into the hall to protect Jiang Jingyu closely.
The guards who were originally on duty in the Yutian Palace had been knocked to the ground by General Yan. Another group of people quickly came to the Yutian Palace and surrounded General Yan's army.
"Breaking into the Imperial Palace with a knife is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. General Yan, why don't you surrender now?"
The chief of the guards stood in front of General Yan and looked at her with a frown.
But General Yan was already so furious that she could no longer listen to the guards. She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and started fighting with the guards around her without saying a word!
Swish swish——
General Yan was a veteran of the battlefield and had great martial arts skills. It didn't take long for him to knock all the guards to the ground.
The guards fell to the ground and screamed in pain. Although General Yan did not kill them, they were inevitably injured during the fight. The Yutian Palace was soon filled with a strong smell of blood!
Looking at the guards lying on the ground, General Yan snorted coldly, stepped over their bodies with a long sword in his hand and walked towards the palace, with blood still dripping on the sharp blade.
One of the guards hugged General Yan's legs and looked at her with a flushed face: "General Yan, don't do anything stupid!"
General Yan kicked the guard away, his anger reaching its peak as he wanted to kill Jiang Jingyu with his own hands!
"Jiang Jingyu, prepare to die!"
Her eyes were sharp, and she gripped the long sword tightly in her hand and walked towards the Yutian Palace without hesitation.
Just as he was about to step into the Yutian Palace, a dark shadow fell from the sky and blocked General Yan's way.
"Anyone who trespasses into the Imperial Palace will be killed."
