At this moment, outside the Forbidden City, in a remote alley, three figures silently stood there.

The person in the lead, Feng Shen, was as elegant as a jade. He was a rare beauty, and his expression was calm as he quietly looked at the castle in the distance.

Two people stood behind him. One of them was tall and sturdy with a half-mask on his face. He stood there silently.

The other person was a woman. She had delicate features and was very clean.

The three of them were naturally the three people from Eastern Zi Qing's group who had left the Yi Palace using the Cicada's shedding method.

Last night, after they had set fire to the memorial hall, the three of them had not rested for the entire night and had to take advantage of the chaos to escape the Forbidden City. Only now did they manage to escape.

The man in front who was incomparably handsome was naturally Dongfang Ziqing. In order to not be discovered, she intentionally disguised herself as a man.

"Since it's so shallow, how can my feelings be so deep?" Dongfang Ziqing looked at the jail-like Forbidden City and muttered to herself.

"Young master, let's go." Xue Mei said in a low voice.

"Whatever." Dongfang Ziqing turned around and looked up at the sky. She said calmly, "From now on, there will be no Dongfang Ziqing in this world."

Then, he started to walk towards the distance. Seeing this, Xue Mei and the mysterious man also followed him.

Just like that, the three of them left the Forbidden City. From then on, Dong Fang Qing was no longer in this world.

Within the imperial garden, the young Emperor Xuanyuan and Chen Mo stood silently within the pavilion, gazing at the lake before them.

The eunuch, Little Treasure, stood quietly behind him, not bothering them.

"It's been sixteen years. Where are you, Xuanyuan Kuangmo?" Xuan Yuan Chen muttered to himself.

Xuanyuan Kuangmo, the elder brother of Xuanyuan Chen Mo and also the crown prince of the previous emperor when he was still alive. At the age of eight, he had personally wielded a sword and killed the previous emperor one after another before finally leaving without a sound.

It was precisely because of this that Xuanyuan Chen Mo had the chance to become emperor.

Nineteen years ago, Blood Dyed Palace was a place filled with corpses. Xuanyuan Kuangmo had killed everyone on his own and he had almost killed his own younger brother, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, as well.

This caused Xuanyuan Chen to feel chills down his spine whenever he thought of this, his nightmares never ending.

"Xuanyuan Kuangmo, why did you do this? Big Brother, why did you do this?" Xuanyuan Chen screamed in his heart.

"Whew!" Taking a deep breath, Xuanyuan Chen Mo waved his hand and turned to Little Treasure, "Pass down the order to gather the officials and gather at the official meeting hall."

"Chirp!" Eunuch Xiaobao accepted the decree and left.

Two hours later, in the meeting hall.

"According to the heavens, this is the Emperor's edict. "From now on, the officials must learn from each other, the military officials learn martial arts from the military officials, the military officials learn literature from the civil officials, the imperial court's Grand Marshal Ma needs to train his elite soldiers diligently, the Ministry of Justice needs to collect information on all the wonders of the world, the Ministry of Rites needs to strengthen the national etiquette system, and the Military Department needs to quickly train millions of mighty masters …"

In the imperial court, Eunuch Xiaobao was currently standing there solemnly, reciting the imperial edict that young Emperor Xuanyuan Chen Mo had just issued.

"Your majesty the Emperor, my dynasty will last for generations, never to decay."

In the imperial court, all the officials kneeled down and shouted in unison after hearing the imperial edict.

Xuanyuan Kingdom. Emperor Mo had been around for sixteen years and young Emperor Xuanyuan, Chen Mo, was young and peerless. He issued an imperial edict, and reform the country wantonly. From now on, a new prosperous era would follow.

Time flew by like an arrow. Three years had passed since Dongfang Ziqing was burned to death in the Yi Palace.

The most ruthless time in the world could take away everything, change everything, and cover everything.

Like this, three years quietly passed by. During these three years, under the leadership of the young emperor of the Xuanyuan Nation, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, a field of prosperity entered into a prosperous era.

It had to be said that Xuanyuan Chen Mo was truly an extremely scheming and courageous supreme monarch. Under his leadership, Xuanyuan Kingdom had truly reached its peak.

After receiving the arrival of all the emissaries, they all came forward to take a look at the visage of the Son of Heaven.

Under the erosion of time, people gradually forgot that in Xuanyuan Kingdom, there was once a loyal Dongfang family of three generations, and there was also the empress of Dongfang Ziqing who was once the mother of the world.

During the first year, the entire nation's citizens were lamenting, mourning, reminiscing and lamenting.

In the Eastern Sect, the three generations of loyal, loyal, loyal, loyal, and have made countless meritorious feats to assist the young emperors in their great achievements.

But the result? The result was that the whole family was sent to the border, and the Eastern Queen was thrown into a cold palace, where she died in a fire.

Under the erosion of time, everything could be submerged in the river of history. Gradually, the school of the East began to fade out of the people's vision, and slowly, from the people's thoughts, it faded away until it disappeared. Now, no one mentioned the East anymore.

In the second year after Empress Dongfang passed away, the Son of Heaven had issued a decree, bestowing the title of Empress upon Shangguan Bongxue. From then on, he would rule over the harem with motherly grace.

Shangguan Yi had become a noble from then on, with people coming and going day in and day out. He was a noble and had an endless stream of visits.

After Shangguan Tianxue became the empress, he had the power to turn the harem, raise his hand to cover the sky, and the harem had three thousand beauties. No one dared to disobey.

Within the Forbidden City, in the palace yard, the Son of Heaven had ordered the reconstruction of the Laiyi Palace to serve as the Empress' sleeping quarters.

Although Shangguan Tianxue had the power to clear the imperial harem, he felt guilty. He could not sleep soundly at night every day, and nightmares followed one after another. In his dreams, he could see the shadow of Dongfang Ziqing.

The night was as black as ink without a single trace of light. Dark clouds covered the sky, creating a quiet and serene atmosphere.

Within the empress's palace within the rebuilt Laiyi Palace.

"Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"

"Shangguan Canxue, you will die a horrible death."

"Ah!" A shrill cry rang through the air. Shangguan Canxue, who was still sleeping, abruptly woke up. His entire body was drenched in sweat.

Shangguan Tianxue's face was pale and he shouted out loud. His hands kept waving as if he wanted to drive something away.

The doors to the palace opened and two maids ran in, kneeling on the phoenix couch and shouting anxiously, "Esteemed Empress, esteemed empress, what's wrong?"

Ever since Dongfang Ziqing had been burned to death in the Yi Palace three years ago, Shangguan Canxue hadn't had a good night's sleep.

Although Dongfang Ziqing was not dead, Shangguan Bongxue had indeed sent people to burn down the palace. However, Dongfang Ziqing was the first to know that a golden cicada had appeared out of its shell.

For the past three years, Shangguan Canxue had been harboring a guilty conscience and would be awoken by nightmares every day.

"Lights, lights." Shangguan Canxue shouted loudly while waving his hands.

After the two maids heard this, they slowly and hurriedly lit up all the lights in the hall.

Watching the palace slowly brighten, Shangguan Canxue slowly quietened down, half leaning on the phoenix couch as he stared blankly into space.

At this moment, a trembling maid came over with a bowl of Tranquil Heart Tea. She walked to the side of the bed and respectfully said, "Empress, please have some tea."

Shangguan Canxue looked at the maidservant in front of him, a trace of gloom flashed through his eyes. He knocked over the teacup and the maidservant to the ground, shouting, "Good servant, do you want to poison this empress to death?"
