Chapter 1 Return to the Palace
"Oh no! His Majesty was knocked unconscious by the ancestral tablet!"
Li Yueyao was rubbing her temples with her head down when she suddenly heard the eunuch yelling outside. She was startled and looked up at the door:
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
The young eunuch calmed himself at the door and replied respectfully:
"Your Highness, today is Laba Festival. Your Majesty is leading the imperial concubines and clan members to the Taimiao to pay respect to their ancestors.
But just as he entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple and hadn't finished the three kowtows and nine bows, the tablets of the royal ancestors on the altar all fell down, knocking... knocking His Majesty... unconscious."
Li Yueyao's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and she stood up suddenly: "So, how is His Majesty now?"
The young eunuch didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his face, and lowered his head to answer quickly.
"His Majesty has returned to the palace, but remains unconscious."
Li Yueyao was shocked and confused, remembering that she had the same dream for three consecutive days.
In the dream, the ancestors of the royal family appeared one after another.
Grandfather: [Granddaughter, your foolish nephew has been poisoned. He won't live for more than three months. If he dies, our kingdom will be over. You must go to the palace to save him.]
Grandmother: [My dear granddaughter, your foolish nephew has been bewitched by a female spy from the enemy country. Go and beat that woman to death.]
Father: [My daughter, your foolish nephew is being taken advantage of by the court officials. Go and take care of this traitorous gang.]
Queen Mother: [The Crown Prince is about to be turned into a puppet by the Queen. To prevent the Queen's relatives from interfering in politics, go and abolish the Queen's family.]
Empress's sister-in-law: [Yueyao, your bastard niece Zhaoqing has countless lovers, amasses wealth, and disrupts the government. Help me teach her a lesson.]
Imperial Brother: [Imperial Sister, if those rebellious sons and daughters dare to disobey you, bring them to me and I will beat them to death.]
…
Li Yueyao was originally a senior cowherd who inexplicably traveled to a fictional Jin Dynasty.
She was born a princess through transmigration and was loved deeply by her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen.
But his mother died when he was three years old, and his father died when he was six. He was raised by the late emperor, his eldest brother.
When the emperor's eldest brother ascended the throne, the Jin Dynasty became more and more powerful, the four barbarians submitted to it, and all nations came to pay tribute, making it truly the Celestial Empire.
The person sitting on the throne now is Li Yueyao’s eldest nephew Li Chenghong. The two grew up together and have a very close relationship.
Li Yueyao was named the Grand Princess of Jinyang, but her marriage was not smooth and she had a reputation of being a jinx.
Others have married their daughters-in-law at the age of 27, but Li Yueyao is still unmarried at the age of 27.
Unable to bear the constant urging of marriage from her nephew, the emperor, she simply hid in this picturesque Chunshan Palace, studied medicine, and waited for death.
I have been hiding for seven years, and I am ready to continue hiding until I die of old age.
But for some reason, for the past three days in a row, Li Yueyao's deceased parents, grandparents, royal brother and sister-in-law have been repeating these words over and over again in her dreams every night.
When the senior palace maid Cuiwei saw that Li Yueyao looked unhappy, she stepped forward and brought her a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, are you thinking about your dream last night?"
"Well, do you think this is a warning from our ancestors? Is there really a big problem in the court?"
Cuiwei thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know. But..."
"But what?" Li Yueyao asked.
"If Your Highness wants to know the details, why not go back to the palace and see for yourself?"
Li Yueyao nodded.
Then he thought of the dream where the emperor said that His Majesty was poisoned, so he said, "Cui Yu, go get the Poison Book."
"Cuiwei, pack your things and return to the palace immediately."
"Yes."
Li Yueyao simply packed up her things and rushed to the palace with her men.
After coming down from Chunshan, passing by Cang River, I saw from afar a man standing facing the wind at the river bend, his clothes fluttering and his long ink-black hair flying in the wind.
It seems like you are watching the scenery by the river, or waiting for someone.
Li Yueyao was in a hurry to get on the road and had no time to pay attention to these irrelevant people and things. She rode quickly without stopping.
I seemed to hear someone shouting something from behind.
When they reached the bend, Cuiwei glanced back out of the corner of her eye and saw a man with a long head, high cheekbones, a face as handsome as jade, and a tall and slender figure. He was wearing black clothes and riding a black horse, chasing her closely from behind.
Li Yueyao was eager to go home and had no other thoughts. She spurred the horse under her crotch and galloped all the way. It didn't take long before she entered the city gate.
After showing the badge, the road was smooth and we arrived at the palace gate.
At this moment, the palace gates were closed, and the guards were all dressed in uniform, holding weapons and looking tense.
Seeing Li Yueyao and the others riding horses from afar, he shouted loudly: "Stop, the palace is forbidden to enter or leave."
“Ouch~”
Li Yueyao was the first to rein in her horse and stop.
Cuiwei responded loudly from below: "The Grand Princess of Jinyang has returned to the palace. Open the palace gates quickly."
The guard at the gate said, "The Queen has ordered that all palace gates be sealed today. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
Li Yueyao looked very unhappy after hearing this.
Li Yueyao could accept the will of the Crown Prince, the will of several princes, or the will of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, but she said it was the will of the Queen.
It seems that what the Queen Mother said in the dream about the Queen's family becoming powerful and marginalizing the Crown Prince was not false.
Li Yueyao took out a token from her arms with a cold face and threw it to Cuiwei.
Cuiwei rode forward and showed the token in front of the guards.
"Here is the Canglong Order. Seeing this order, it's like your Majesty is here in person. Why don't you open the city gates quickly?"
After hearing this, the chief guard stepped forward and looked at the token carefully. It was made of meteorite iron and had a lifelike dragon on it. It was indeed the Canglong Token.
So he ordered people to open the palace gates.
When they rode to Xuanwu Gate, they were stopped by the imperial guards again.
The person in charge of guarding the gate this time was the captain of the imperial guards, who stood high on the city gate tower and did not even look at the Canglong Order presented by Cuiwei.
"The Azure Dragon Order has not appeared for many years. Who knows whether it is true or false? No one can enter this door. Retreat immediately, or we will shoot arrows."
Li Yueyao, with a gloomy face, rode forward, looked at the people on the city gate and shouted sternly: "Where is Feng Qing? Tell him to get off right now."
"General Feng is guarding His Majesty in the inner palace. Today, we are under the Queen's orders to guard this gate and will not let anyone enter the palace."
Li Yueyao looked at this person and felt extremely angry.
In the past twenty years, I have been a bully in the palace. Anyone who dares to challenge me like this will have grass growing on his grave next year.
Damn it, after only being away for seven years, he's already fallen to the point where he can't even enter the palace! ?
Then she said, "I am the Grand Princess of Jinyang. Who are you? Do you dare to tell me your name?"
"Your Highness, Grand Princess, I am Captain Cai Xun of the Imperial Guards. It's not that I don't want Your Highness to enter, but it's simply that the Queen's order is difficult to disobey. Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me."
Li Yueyao listened to this person speak with a tough attitude and serious tone. It seemed that he was determined to abide by the Queen's order.
Without wasting any time talking, he took out a piccolo from his bosom and played the same tune three times in a row.
After a while, seeing no movement, he blew it three more times.
Then, a high-pitched whistle was heard coming from inside.
After hearing this, Li Yueyao put away the piccolo.
Not long after, a burly man with a full beard, wearing armor and a long sword at his waist, appeared at the city gate with his head held high.
He glanced at Li Yueyao, who was riding on a horse below, and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I greet the Grand Princess of Jinyang."
Li Yueyao sat on the horse with her head held high, without saying a word.
The person who came was Feng Qing, the commander of the imperial guards. He waved his hand and said, "Open the door."
The captain who was trying to stop Li Yueyao frowned and said, "General, the Queen's order..."
“Your Highness holds the Azure Dragon Token in his hand. Seeing this token is like seeing His Majesty in person.
What? Do you only have eyes for the Queen and not His Majesty? "
