...(.(.Source: Pinterest)...

Ever since he left the palace, of course he knew that there would be great chaos that would engulf. Even if his palace was hit by the wind, rain, thunderous lightning would still not be able to be appeased if he was still far away from Yuanqing.

Yuan Shi had to take heavy decisions, attacking mercilessly and injuring many innocent people or in a subtle but on target manner. The man was still riding his horse valiantly, his face was not as pale as the previous days. The journey that had drained so much energy had finally reached the end of despair.

He had arrived at the East Gate of Yuanqing Palace, soon after Yuan Shi gave the order that the military forces could rest by building tents. Moreover, he would attempt to use subtle means to negotiate with the Queen Mother first.

If that doesn't work, then the danger sign will be launched soon. Want to not want the war will still be done later. His face appeared expressionless as he got off the horse and grabbed the Empress' hand to go with him. Like a well that had long since dried up, that was how Yuan Shi looked as he stood in front of his own soldiers.

“Ear!” Half the man's eyes almost jumped out looking at Yuan Shi who was still standing firm without the slightest injury on his body. It is very different from the rumors that are being spread.

The empress looked at the warrior with a slightly glaring yet sharp gaze. "You should immediately greet us with a happy feeling!"

Yuan Shi was forced to clasp the Queen's wrist tighter, knowing her less patient attitude and the nature of her queen made her worry if Qing Er took any impulsive actions.

"Hamba begged for mercy, this is a decree from the Queen Mother that no one should interfere until tomorrow's coronation is done." a sense of trembling spread throughout the body of his soldiers.

Without further ado, as usual Queen Qing took out a blade of her sword then placed the sharp object on the soldier's neck to threaten. "If you'd rather be bullied in a vile way, I could be better at it!"

Yuan Shi stared at the soldiers with a murderous aura. "I'm still your Emperor, aren't you afraid I'll punish you by hanging all your families?"

"Pardon us Emperors, but the Queen Mother has threatened with the same thing. We have no other choice!" the soldiers were begging and begging for mercy.

The foliage that thrives in summer, now begins to wilt after entering the autumn time. The Wu clan was aggressive and confident enough to claim the Emperor's throne because they had alliances from various kingdoms that Yuan Shi did not have.

War was not something Yuan Shi wanted to do, because after all war would certainly result in many casualties. Fearfully, he even made his people suffer more. Qing Er was still beside him watching, if the soldiers did not let them in they would break through.

"Ck, if we're not allowed in how will we help you?" Qing Er wrapped her hands around her chest while squinting sharply.

After a long debate they finally let the real ruler into the palace that had long been inhabited. Yuan Shi did not want to let go of Qing Er's grasp, nor did he. There was a fear that haunted Yuan Shi's soul, regarding the fear of being suddenly abandoned by the Empress, given that her queen had a great weakness that only she knew about.

Not long after when their footsteps entered the palace, a sudden attack immediately struck towards the two. Qing Er pulled the sword from her waist then held back every swing of the sword that almost hit her and Yuan Shi.

Bad omen, they even dared to blatantly attack inside the palace, Qing Er grabbed a hand bomb that could be launched into the sky to signal General Ye and his troops preparing. Not long after the help came, all the soldiers outside the palace were frozen and changed General Ye's military forces.

A few soldiers forced against his own emperor came numbering in the hundreds, Yuan Shi closed his eyes, tightened his sword and determined to keep advancing.

"We don't have time to fight them! Emperor go to the coronation room, I have a bad feeling!" Qing Er turned her head towards Yuan Shi as she occasionally slashed her sword at the rebel soldiers.

"Qing'Er come with me!" yuan Shi.

"There's no time, they get weapons from the neighboring country. Even the weapon inside the crate was an imitation weapon I had used before!" Qing Er knew all the things she saw ahead of Nemo's help seeking information.

Yuan Shi restrained his gaze at Qing Er, then turned towards Prince Beiming as his current confidant to protect the Empress. Before he finally went to the coronation place quickly.

Unwanted things really happened, beyond the suspicion that the coronation of Wu Zetian was in the process there were also some officials who allied with the Wu Clan to get a permanent position in the court. Yuan Shi's eyes radiated a burning fury, he barged in in the Emperor's golden attire with a sword he held tightly.

"Wu Zetian!" Pekiknya loudly.

"Kiasar, are you alive?" wu Zetian's terrified gaze when he saw Yuan Shi's anger rendered him helpless. Wu Zetian stepped down from the throne and then ran to meet Yuan Shi with all his usual theatrics.

"It's all the Queen Mother's wishes, I've rejected it and said that I can't betray the person I love." Wu Zetian hugged the emperor tightly. "Emperor don't hate me, remember how wonderful our childhood was! You always spoil me." Wu Zetian.

"Yuan Shi!" The Queen Mother. "You're back after being a dynastic traitor, what a shame!" The Empress Dowager piqued sharply towards Yuan Shi.

A light laugh came out from Yuan Shi's mouth. "Right what Qing Er said, two magic grannies like you guys are really cunning. Always turn the facts around and make a show. I am still the emperor! If you don't want me to be cruel then don't try to take over my throne!"

For the first time, Yuan Shi floated his sword right at the neck of his stepmother, the mother who used it only for power. The two of them had fought inside the palace for ten years since Yuan Shi ascended his throne.

"I'll give the Queen Mother a whole corpse, but it depends on how Qing 'Er acts. I'll leave it to him!" yuan Shi said with a thin grin.

While Wu Zetian's eyes were round hearing how terrifying the words were, he immediately calmed down and begged Yuan Shi for forgiveness. "Emperor, please forgive me for not knowing anything about this. Remember how wonderful our days were!"
