But Consort Yun was different... Many officials and members of the imperial family knew Consort Yun's personality; she was truly simple and kind.
It was far more comfortable for her to be in charge than for Princess Tianfu to be constantly in charge.
With the support of court officials and her clan, the first imperial edict issued by Consort Yun after she seized power was to order the Imperial Guards to capture Princess Tianfu.
The night was deep and dark. Meng Ruoyun sat in her palace, holding a feather token in her hand.
So this is what it feels like to have power in your hands.
How ironic that a woman like Yao Tianfu, who abused her power, ultimately died because of it.
It is truly a case of divine justice prevailing and retribution being exacted!
I wonder if Tianfu ever thought about his own fate of being beheaded when he ordered Young Master Jin to be torn apart by five horses?
A cold glint flashed in Meng Ruoyun's eyes: And her gifted younger brother, Meng Abao, she would seek revenge on Tianfu for all of this!
"Didn't you order the Imperial Guards to go to the Princess's residence to arrest her?" Meng Ruoyun raised her eyes: "Why haven't they returned yet?"
None of the servants around Meng Ruoyun responded.
"Where is she?" Meng Ruoyun frowned and stood up, but no one was around. "A-Lian?"
But no one replied for a long time.

Meng Huaiyi, dressed in black, stood beside the princess with a long sword in his hand.
Bai Yan approached Meng Ruoyun and smiled, "Does Consort Yun wish to see me?"
She stepped forward, but Meng Ruoyun, her mind still racing as she looked around, instinctively took two steps back.
When she came to her senses, her face paled slightly, and she suppressed her wildly beating heart: "Tianfu, I have to attend court and preside over state affairs early tomorrow morning! If you dare to lay a hand on me, the court officials will not let you off!"
Bai Yan simply smiled and removed her cloak. "You mean those officials who formed cliques with you for personal gain?"
"I was just worried about how hard it was to find this network of connections. Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to capture them all in one fell swoop."
