My Empress From The Future
Assault
The news of the birth of daughter Mei Lian has been heard by all the people even though they are in refugee camps. Many were furious that Consort Hong was lying to the Emperor by saying that she was pregnant with a prince.
Now that the reality was in sight, many people condemned Consort Hong's actions. Princess Mei Lian was raised by Empress Meihua at Zhuanshi's court. Together with Li Mei and Consort Ming who sometimes visit.
Mingfen had honestly confided his relationship with Xiao Wu to Meihua. At first the girl was scared, but Meihua who had known from the beginning promised to help them.
Consort Hong, who had recovered, was thrown in jail. Fortunately he did not lose his head, but it made Minister Kang inflamed. The attack on the palace will be carried out prematurely.
The secret letter was immediately sent to DongYi, of course, Kang's minister did not know that the manager was Jun Li, a spy for the Tian Yi Emperor. Jun Li brought the secret letter to the Emperor, and it was the Emperor who replied that reinforcements would come just in time. Minister Kang only needed to welcome them outside the palace walls. Together they would occupy the Palace and defeat Tian Yi.
So with high confidence that morning, Minister Kang besieged the palace. The officials and soldiers he managed to assemble only amounted to five thousand horsemen and were fully armed. It should have increased their numbers many times over if they got help from DongYi kingdom and General Mu's troops. It was a serious threat to Emperor Tian Yi's own stronghold.

That morning the war trumpet sounded. Emperor Tian Yi took Empress and Consort Ming and princess Mei Lian to safety, along with a number of servants and eunuchs. According to the Emperor the Golden palace was the safest one right now, because the Golden Palace was once the residence of the Emperor and had many traps if activated.
"Bao-yu stay here! Don't come out before Zhen picks you up here. Whatever happens, just wait. Believe me Zhen must have come for you," Emperor Tian Yi assured Meihua.
Only a nod could Meihua give, her tongue a hunch to speak, her chest tight to resist all emotions. Meihua hugged Tian Yi tightly, no matter where they were. He just wanted to convey that no matter what happened he would believe Tian Yi was fine.
A number of Ming's servants and Consorts who witnessed that, shed tears.
"Concubine Ming, I leave Meihua to you. Zhen has never noticed you. But Zhen believes you."
"Good uuka. Servant will look after the Empress for you."
Afterwards the emperor Tian Yi came out to lead his own enemies who came. General Li Hao's forces inside the city were on alert. While the troops outside the palace walls are moving to surround from behind.
On top of the palace walls, the archer soldiers had prepared. So are the soldiers who are below. Just wait for the time the enemy attacks, then they will fight with all their might. The emperor gave the order, if possible the battle should have taken place outside the palace walls, in anticipation of the destruction of the palace and the casualties that would fall.
Previously the archer troops had decorated the enemy troops with their arrows, but the Kang Li Bo camp was also smart. They retreated several hundred meters back, so the range of the arrows could not hit them.
Seeing that, Emperor Tian Yi thought that it would be better to attack them openly outside the palace walls.
When the palace gate was opened, Emperor Tian Yi took the soldiers on horseback to come face to face with minister Kang.
"Minister Kang, you're one of the ministers. Why intend to rebel? Surrender and Zhen will spare you the death penalty!"
"Hahahaha do you think that after getting to this point I, Kang Li Bo still want to retreat and give up? Nah! I will take your throne for myself!"
"You're really shameless. What do you count on to take the throne of Wu forcibly?"
"You don't need to know the Emperor, I have help that will bring you to your knees" Kang Li Bo said arrogantly.
"good. There is no point negotiating with you. We better end this right away." Emperor Tian yi instantly gave an assault order. "All the troops, SERAANGG!!"
YOOOH!!!
BUOOOOHH!!!!
AYOO SERAAAANGGG!!
The cries of the soldiers eager to advance the war sounded loud. Understandably, lately the peace created makes the soldiers a little more relaxed. Many of them were impatient to return to the battlefield. So that during the attack by Minister Kang, they were more excited than usual. From the stronghold of Kang Li Bo himself, after hearing the cue from the leader, they also went forward to attack.
A moment later a battle broke out between the two sides. They attack each other, trying to knock out the opponent. The horses neighed loudly, overwritten by the sound of guns clashing loudly. Victims fell from both sides. There are only two options in every battle. Die or survive by killing your opponent.
Cold sweat poured out from Kang Li Bo's body, with his own eyes he watched his troops fall victim. General Li Hao's army also surrounded them from behind. While the reinforcements promised by the DongYi leader did not come, even with General Mu's troops who were willing to cooperate.
General Li's elite forces have long felt no fighting, as the situation in Wu has been very peaceful lately. With the battle again, they are very excited to push the adrenaline to bring down the opponent and quell the rebellion of Kang Libo.
Emperor Tian Yi who came to the battlefield like an angel of death. Every enemy that faced him, never managed to live. On average they died with one sword slash. Finally Emperor Tian Yi faced off against Kang Libo, each brandishing a sword with sharp eyes.
"You really dare intend to overthrow the Wu clan as the ruler of this empire. Today if Zhen can't cut off your head, Zhen won't be able to live quietly."
"You are a proud ruler. Just look after my army reinforcements came. Your entire army will be wiped out! Haha."
Kang Libo laughed.
"Which "help force? From the DongYi land you promised gold and silver bars of proceeds to raise taxes by force? Or the help of General Mu that you promised a high position as a General of Defense?"
"You... How did you know?" Kang Libo was shaking.
"Hahahaha, if you really think Zhen is stupid. You're wrong big time. You think Zhen didn't know everything you've done in the last year? You should have known, the start of your rebellion plan was because Zhen allowed it. All under Zhen's control!"
Enraged by Kang Libo, the veins of anger were clearly visible on his face. He recklessly charged towards Emperor Tian Yi. Emperor Tian Yi himself welcomed Kang Libo's attack calmly, his eyes cold. In every battle, one's emotions also affected the end result. Fighting with anger, would make one careless, and fighting with a cold head would be extremely advantageous
"Report minister Kang. Our troops are besieged from both sides by General Li Hao's forces, almost all of them wounded and many casualties!" An official who was under Kang Li Bo's orders said in a panic.
Kang Libo's movement stopped, now he knew the Emperor was really telling the truth a moment ago. There was no turning back when he had decided to rebel. Rather than die beheaded without resistance and humiliated by the people, it is better to die on the battlefield.
As the battle raged on, the five thousand troops Kang Li bo had brought were nothing compared to the ten thousand troops of the Emperor.

The Golden Palace.
Meihua walked back and forth with her hands squeezing each other. The look on her face was full of worry, while Mingfen was holding baby Mei Lian. The girl also looked at Meihua anxiously.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Emperor will be fine. Your majesty is so valiant, five thousand Kang's ministerial troops won't make it difficult." Concubine Ming said as he approached Meihua.
"Sister Ming, I'm afraid that Minister Kang used a devious trick to wound the Emperor's majesty."
"Sister Meihua, your majesty is very clever, believe me! This war will be won by the Emperor. Now come sit with me!"
Meihua followed Mingfen's steps, just as he was sitting down, several soldiers ran in and reported that the Emperor was in an unfavorable position. The emperor was besieged, many palace soldiers were killed. Not yet had Meihua digested the information it received, one of the soldiers seized Princess Mei Lian by force from Mingfen's hands, then fled. While his other comrades were blocking the soldiers guarding the Golden Palace.
Sword fighting could not be avoided, it seemed that the soldiers who stormed in were ready to die soldiers sent by Minister Kang. His goal was only one, snatch his grandson and take him on the run. The female servants were screaming in fear, while the eunuchs were braver. They take whatever can be used as personal protective equipment. Li Mei protected Meihua and Mingfen at the same time, using her body as a shield.
Unexpectedly before, Meihua ran through the chaos and desperately chased after the soldier who was carrying Mei Lian alone. Unheeded by her Mingfen exclamation, and Li Mei's screams told her to stop.
Meihua continued to spur her legs to chase after the soldier who was carrying Mei Lian. Samar heard the sobs of the little baby. The bottom of his heart was getting sick, his motherly feelings felt unbearable to the poor baby. Regardless of how wicked and cunning her mother was, Mei Lian was still an innocent little baby.
As his distance to the warrior grew further, without a second thought Meihua decided to ride a horse, which he found outside the palace. Forgetting that in fact he had never even gotten close to the four-legged animal, that he could not actually ride a horse!
Approaching the battlefield, his heart grew anxious, unheeded by the blood-stained corpses. Although it actually makes him nauseous. Mei Lian's safety was still her priority.
"His Majesty the Empress. What are you doing here?"
"May Lian was kidnapped. That soldier must be Kang Li Bo's man! Hurry and help me find him! She was crying so hard. Jun Li help me find him!"
"Hamba understands. Your Majesty you better get out of here right away! The situation here is too dangerous! Leave Princess Mei Lian's search to the servant."
"can't. You're protecting me! I'll take Mei Lian later!"
"But..."
"It's an order!"
"good. Jun Li understood."
Jun Li drove his horse behind the Empress, busy dispelling the approaching enemy. While Meihua circulated her gaze in all directions. A flash of baby wrapping cloth Mei Lian was caught by her net. "Jun Li, there! Over there!"
"Good."
Together with Jun Li, Meihua spurred her horse through the battle. The palace soldiers who recognized the Empress entered the battle, as much as possible protecting Meihua. Many sacrificed their lives, and Meihua looked at her with guilt.
When Meihua and Jun Li managed to confront the kidnapper's soldiers, Meihua immediately exclaimed loudly, "Put Mei Lian to me!"
"In your dreams!" Unexpectedly by Meihua, the soldier desperately threw Mei Lian over. The shrill, high-pitched cry of Mei Lian was heard by Meihua, along with the soaring of the baby upwards. Ignoring his battle, Meihua jumped on the back of his horse.
Tell me that Meihua was lucky to catch Mei Lian in time. But along with him jumping up, one of the soldiers pointed the spear he was carrying towards Meihua. Successfully, the spear stuck in Meihua's stomach, right in her old scar.
While Jun Li was furious to see that, he placed his sword towards the soldier who immediately took his life. Fresh blood poured into Meihua's stomach. Frowning in pain, Meihua smiled in relief seeing Mei Lian fine.

"You see your Empress across there, Emperor? He's desperate to save a baby that's not even his. Isn't he stupid?"asked Kang Li Bo while resting on his sword. His breathing went up and down irregularly, so did Tian Yi.
Hearing that, Tian Yi turned his head in all directions looking for Meihua. Just as Meihua was pierced by a long spear, the Emperor could only widen his eyes. When the shocked Emperor became caught off guard, it was put to good use by Kang Li Boo, he managed to inflict a wound on the Emperor.
"You! How cruel, to use your own granddaughter to be bait?"
"Good-grandson? I do not acknowledge the granddaughter in whose body your blood flows! I don't need a granddaughter!"yelled Kang Li Bo.
"Bad!"
The battle was fought again between the two. Kang Li Bo's old body turned out to be unfavorable to him. Attacking blindly, Kang Li Bo instead got more injuries.
In Jun Li's protection, Meihua intended to leave the battlefield. Approaching the palace gate, an archer soldier from Kang Li Bo's stronghold aimed his arrow at the target. The pointed arrow hit Meihua's right shoulder from behind. Meihua's body sculpted for a moment, before falling to the ground, along with baby Mei Lian in her arms.
"Empress!" Jun Li's scream defeated the clanking of the clashing weapons. Also warned Tian Yi, that his empress was again injured.
Jun Li jumped off the horse, without thinking about manners, Jun Li propped up Meihua's body. Slowly the arrow that pierced Meihua's body broke, leaving the arrow that pierced the flesh and a piece of wood the rest of the arrow.
Kang Li Bo who saw the event laughed out loud, "Your empress is just as stupid. He got into my trap easily, hahahaha."
"You dare hurt Meihua. It's really unforgivable. You must die!"
"Try if you can kill me," challenged Kang Li Bo.
Furious, Emperor Tian Yi came forward to attack Kang Li Bo again. The battle this time was even more intense, it did not take long for Kang Li Bo's head to have been decapitated.
One of the commanders of the Emperor's forces who saw it immediately called for the rebel leader to be killed. All the Emperor's soldiers immediately shouted it out over and over again. That made the enemy's guts shrink. Without orders they stopped the war. Some even tried to escape. Inevitably, this victory was on the Emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, please preserve your consciousness! Don't let you faint!" Jun Li persuaded Meihua with a panicked look on his face.
Meihua blinked softly, seeing baby Mei Lian in her arms. The tiny baby's eyes still looked wet, but her tiny red lips smiled faintly. An adorable smile for Meihua.
I wish I could see this baby for longer. Suppose I could see it grow, inner Meihua miris.
"Where's Emperor? My eyes felt so heavy, my whole body hurt so much. If I die, tell the Emperor I really love him," said Meihua.
"You won't die Empress, Zhen here. Jun Li told everyone to end the war! Kang Li Bo is dead, if his army is willing to surrender it will be forgiven, who will not give up!"
The Emperor ran up to the two in a hurry. He threw the sword that had been in his grasp since.
"Good."
Emperor Tian Yi held Meihua's head. The views of the two meet. There were tears in the corner of the Emperor's eyes, while Meihua instead smiled sweetly.
"Your Majesty, thank goodness you and Mei Lian are safe."
"You fool! For the sake of a child that isn't yours you just sacrificed your life?"
"Your Majesty, a happy servant can save the child. Even though he is not my son, he is still an innocent child. If you die, please don't be sad! Appoint Mingfen as empress, say I apologize for not granting her wish."
"You're not going to die. Zhen will save you. Zhen is the son of the heavens, the king of the underworld will not dare to take you away from me. Stop talking no-no, there's only one empress and that's you!"
Meihua vomited fresh blood, forcing the talk to make blood rise to her mouth. The longer his chest felt tight, the more blurred his gaze also became. Meihua felt that maybe this was the end of her journey.
Faintly, Jun Li's cry asking for the war to stop, was heard by Meihua. With a sweet smile, his head drooped in the Emperor's arms.
"Yahoo!!! Meihua wake! Don't scare Zhen! Wake up! I command you to get up, open your eyes!"
"Your Majesty, don't shake the empress' body, it could be more dangerous!" Jun Li reminded the Emperor. "It is better that your Majesty bring the Empress to the palace to be dealt with by the physician immediately" Jun Li continued.
Without saying any more, Tian Yi brought Meihua towards the Palace.
Meihua, don't go! Don't leave Zhen!

The war ended, the victory of Emperor Tian Yi to crush the rebellion was heard throughout Wu. The people rejoiced, peace approached them. Kang Li Bo's head was on display at the city walls for three days, as a reminder that the rebels will not have a good ending.
Kang Li Bo's entire family was sentenced to be beheaded, except for children under the age of 10. The children were taken to the border to become slaves.
Hongmei, who knew about the plot, was also found guilty. Especially with the series of assassination attempts he made on Empress and Consort Ming. Hongmei was also sentenced to death. However, given that his services had given birth to a daughter, and once an Emperor Consort, Hongmei was allowed to die with honor. Drinking poisonous wine directly delivered by the Emperor.
