In the third year of Yongqing's reign, on the night when the new emperor Xiao Jingheng ascended the throne, a blood moon loomed in the sky. Under the candlelight in the palace, Queen Chen Yazhi stroked the "Book of Changes" on the desk and crushed the fortune-telling tortoise shell with her fingertips - the twenty-eight cracks were in response to the secret orders of the twenty-eight constellations of secret guards. The jade seal of the previous dynasty unexpectedly appeared in the dry well, and the war report in the northern border tore apart the illusion of peace. The fake daughter of the salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, the fascinating fragrance of the Taifu Mansion, and the private cast iron of General Zhenbei were all poisonous secret arrows piercing the imperial power.
In the eyes of the world, the law-abiding Lord of the Sixth Palace, when the severed finger of the emperor's left hand touched the side of his neck, he finally caught a glimpse of the truth about the marriage that had not been consummated for three years: the map of the former dynasty's territory in the secret room of the royal study was actually connected to Chen's heart palpitations. When the tributes from the Western Regions are poisonous and the dragon robes of the imperial mausoleums arouse murderous intentions, she takes the sunspot and settles on the star observatory, using the phoenix seal as bait to weave a huge chess game.
The ravings of the mad concubine in the cold palace reveal twenty years of murders in the palace, and the flames of the canal riots reflect the fragments of the Mountains and Rivers Picture. On the night when the fire in Fengyi Palace destroyed the false peace, the Queen's Jiuzhai crown fell in front of the steps, and the cinnabar in the palm of her hand fit perfectly with the scar of the emperor's severed finger - it turns out that these thousands of miles of land should have been reshaped by the hands of the chess player.
