She was a chess piece princess who was forced to marry, but she married a puppet emperor who had no throne.
On their wedding night, he coughed up blood and said to her: "Be safe and keep your family safe."
She smiled, with knives hidden in her eyes: "If Your Majesty can't protect yourself, why should you protect Zhaohua?"
The powerful minister Wei Yuan covers the sky with one hand, the court is his hall of speech, and the palace is his back garden.
Everyone said that Han Congning was a medicine jar, a puppet in Wei Yuan's hands, but only Wen Yutang knew that——
The emperor, who was unable to stand due to coughing, would practice military tactics in the darkroom late at night. When his fingertips ran over the map, his eyes were filled with turmoil.
"Do you want to seize power?" She handed over a cup of hot tea and watched him pinch the letter with her pale fingertips.
He raised his eyes, with the scent of medicine still on his eyelashes: "You dare to help me?"
"Let's take a gamble." The corner of her lips raised slightly, "If you win, you will be the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and I will be the hero of Zhaohua; if you lose..."
He took the tea and trembled slightly when his fingertips touched: "If you lose, I will go to hell with you."
From then on, the deep palace became a battlefield without smoke.
She used her status as a married princess as a cover to deliver news for him, disrupting the harem and tricking Wei Yuan's eyes;
Pretending to be weak, he secretly contacted his old subordinates and laid a dragnet, only to strike when the time was right.
When Wei Yuan's butcher's knife falls, when the cavalry of neighboring countries approaches, when the survival of Zhaohua Kingdom hangs on a thread——
The emperor who was always coughing suddenly took her hand and pointed his sword at the sky: "From today on, I will protect my country by myself; no one can touch my people!"
