The Complete Book of Immortals, Heroes, and Demons - Chapter 12

Episode 5: Palace Turmoil / Chapter 5:

After the soldiers from the Prince of Linzi's mansion left, Meng Chun and Xiao Xin rushed in. Upon seeing Wang Ju, Xiao Xin, unsure whether to be happy or worried,
reddened her eyes and tears streamed down her face. She threw herself at Wang Ju, saying, "Ju Lang, you...you're alright, that's good! Will those
soldiers come back?"

Wang Ju gently stroked her and smiled, "It's my fault, making you worry about me!"

Xin Xing said, "Wu Sansi will definitely not make things difficult for Brother Wang again, everyone can rest assured."

Meng Chun patted her chest and said, "I was really terrified just now. Those soldiers looked so fierce,
shouting and yelling as soon as they rushed in. I thought Chunhua Tower was finished!"

Li Longji invited the two to sit down, but Meng Chun said, "I still need to go out and appease the guests, lest they be too frightened
to come back!"

Li Longji and Xin Xing smiled and let her go. Xiaoxin and Wang Ju sat down, and Xin Xing laughed, "Brother Wang
must be wondering why Wu Sansi is swallowing his anger and daring not to speak out, right?"

Although Wang Ju had been saved by Xin Xing, he showed no joy and said, "Your relationship with Prince Dejing is
indeed quite deep. Please forgive me for not recognizing the talent of Jingshan." If it weren't for Li Longji's face
, his words would probably have been even more scathing.

Seeing his unfriendly tone, Li Longji knew he had misunderstood. Just as he was about to explain, Xin Xing smiled faintly and
interrupted , saying, "Brother Wang is only half right. My relationship with Wu Sansi is indeed not shallow, but it's not a friendship. It's just that
he was afraid for his life and safety, so he had no choice but to do me this favor."

Wang Ju was very puzzled. Li Longji laughed and said, "Brother Shaogu, you have misunderstood Brother Xin!" He then
told him in detail how Xin Xing had helped Lao Ding and how Wu Sansi had led his troops to fight against the Yang family. As for how Xin Xing
had used magic to intimidate Wu Sansi, Li Longji had no idea and naturally could not tell him.

Xin Xing laughed, "As long as Wu Sansi lives, I'm afraid I'll have to keep dealing with him. It's quite
fun, really, to have this treacherous king under my thumb, it's incredibly satisfying!"

Upon hearing Li Longji's words, Wang Ju and Xiao Xin immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Xin Xing, saying,
"We apologize for our rudeness, brother."

Xin Xing quickly returned the bow, laughing, "We're all good brothers, Brother Wang, there's no need for such formality."

Li Longji said, "Now that this matter is resolved, Brother Shaogu no longer needs to worry about Miss Xiao Xin.
This wedding feast for you two can't be without my sworn brother!"

Wang Ju laughed, "Of course! A debt of gratitude cannot be settled with just a cup of wine. Even if it means going through
fire and water for you."

Xin Xing laughed... "Brother Wang, you flatter me!" he exclaimed. Then he sighed, "Wu Sansi is a cunning and treacherous old man. I only regret
my youth and inexperience; he shut me down with just a few words, leaving me unable to plead for the Imperial Son-in-Law!"

Wang Ju shook his head and said, "It's already commendable that you have this concern, brother. There's no need to blame yourself. After all, the Imperial Son-in-Law
is the Emperor's son-in-law. Out of consideration for his daughter, he shouldn't be in any danger."

Xin Xing said, "Wu Sansi's perverse actions are utterly outrageous. But justice will prevail; this man..." "They will surely meet a bad end."

After chatting for a while, Xin Xing said to Li Longji, "We've been here for half a day, those girls must be very
worried. Let's go back."

Li Longji nodded and said, "Brother Shaogu, now that the matter is settled, how about we go to my humble abode for a proper celebration?
Would Miss Xiaoxin like to come along too?"

Xiaoxin said, "Thank you in advance, Your Highness. I have something to discuss with Sister Meng. I will come to the Prince's residence
to express my gratitude . Please forgive me, Your Highness. Ju Lang, it's rare for everyone to be so happy." "You may go with the Prince. I and
Sister ."

Wang Ju said, "Alright, you and Sister Meng should rest early after you've finished talking. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

The three of them left Chunhua Tower, walked out of Pingkang Ward, and passed through the East Market. They arrived at Longqing Ward, which was originally granted
to Li Longji and his brothers by the late Emperor. Longqing Ward was extremely large (about twice the size of the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces), making it the largest
ward in Chang'an City, larger than the West Market, East Market, and the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

Longqing Ward was entirely designed as a garden, with nearly a hundred buildings hidden under the shade of willows and flowers. The three of them entered through Jinming Gate
and saw lush flowers and trees everywhere, with towering terraces and palaces, all ingeniously and naturally beautiful.

As soon as Xin Xing entered Jinming Gate, he was speechless with astonishment, clicking his tongue and saying, "I've known you, brother, for so long, yet I've
never visited your home. I never imagined it would be such a large place. If I were to search alone, it would probably take
me half a day!"

To the left of the entrance was a large stable, where two grooms led three horses over. Li Longji said to them
, "My home is still far from here, so we have to travel by horse."

The three mounted their horses and rode slowly side by side. Li Longji pointed to a large mansion in the distance and said, "This is my
elder brother's residence. After passing these buildings, that's where I live."

Xin Xing followed his finger and craned his neck to look, sticking out his tongue in disbelief. He could only see a corner of the roof with upturned eaves, hidden
among tall elms and short willows, about a mile away. Xin Xing thought to himself, "The Yang residence is already quite large, but this place
is a hundred times larger. It's unbelievable." He then asked, "Such a large place, and only you
brothers live here?"

Li Longji nodded and said, "My mother bestowed this place upon my father. After he moved to the Taiji Palace,
only the four of us brothers and a few sisters lived here. The environment here is indeed nice, but
it's not very convenient; we often have to walk several miles to get in and out."

Xin Xing laughed and said, "Such a nice place! If I lived here, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else!"

Li Longji said, "If you like it here, brother, stay a few more days and explore. The three of us brothers
can spend more time together. Isn't that wonderful?"

Xin Xing said, "That's right. Tomorrow, brother, please bring Miss Xiaoxin here." "Then the couple can be
together , how wonderful!"

Wang Ju smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

Before they knew it, the three of them arrived at a large oval lake. They saw lush flowers and trees, and the reflections of boats on the lake, like a fairyland
. Xin Xing pointed to a small island on the lakeshore, on which stood a large pavilion with red pillars and green tiles, and said, "The scenery is so
enchanting . What is the name of this four-cornered pavilion?"

Li Longji replied, "The Agarwood Pavilion, taken from the saying: 'I am the agarwood, and you are the Boshan incense burner.'"

Xin Xing said, "How elegant! Wonderful, indeed extraordinary."

While enjoying the scenery and chatting, they unknowingly arrived at Li Longji's residence. With carved eaves and painted beams, towering rafters and layered eaves, it was a magnificent
and imposing building. The surrounding pavilions and wings made it even more solemn and luxurious.

Before even entering the main house, servants, maids, and other maids were already waiting outside to greet them. A servant led the three of them by
the horse, and Li Longji led the two inside. A beautiful young woman approached and gave a slight curtsy.
Li Longji smiled and said, "Madam, let me introduce you."

This beautiful woman was Li Longji's principal wife, Wang Yicui, the younger sister of Wang Shouyi, the Vice Minister of the Imperial Stud. She was virtuous and
dignified Li Longji. However, she had yet to bear him a son or daughter, which was a great regret for her.

Xin Xing was also surprised to see this young woman. This stunningly beautiful woman was actually the Princess Consort.
Although was dressed as a noblewoman, she could not hide the charm and aura of a young girl.

Upon arriving at the main hall, they saw Ziqiong and others waiting there, accompanied by another beautiful woman. This woman
was Li Longji's concubine, Liu Qianya, who had given birth to a son and a daughter with Li Longji in the past two years.

Xin Xing's face lit up with joy when he saw Zi Qiong in the hall. Li Longji, holding Wang Ju's hand, stepped forward
to introduce them , and then they sat down as host and guests, chatting and laughing happily.

Li Longji loved music and often composed his own pieces. In the midst of their conversation, he suddenly whispered to Liu Qianya beside him, "
Bring me the flute!"

Qianya understood and took out a jade flute, gracefully handing it to Li Longji. He smiled slightly and said,
"It's rare for everyone to gather together, so I, Longji, will humbly play a tune." Xin Xing was the first to clap and cheer, and everyone naturally
echoed in unison.

Li Longji held the flute to his lips, and a melodious tune flowed forth. Suddenly, Qian Ya's clear and bright voice rang out, accompanying
the flute's melody as she sang: "Green grass by the riverbank, lush willows in the garden. A graceful woman upstairs, radiant by the window. A beautiful woman
with delicate hands. Once a daughter of a good family, now a wife of a wanderer. The wanderer has not returned, and I cannot bear to keep alone in my empty bed."

The song was tender and poignant, moving and sorrowful, captivating everyone who listened. Xin Xing had never imagined that a single act of playing the flute and singing
could reach such a divine level! When the song ended, applause erupted and lingered for a long time.

Xin Xing exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, you are truly talented! You are skilled in both literature and martial arts, a true dragon among men!"

That night, a banquet was held at the Prince of Linzi's residence, with music and revelry, the atmosphere exceptionally warm and hospitable. Only after
everyone had eaten and drunk their fill did Li Longji have rooms arranged for them to return to their own rooms to rest.

Li Longji sent a messenger to the Yang family in Guanzhong to inform Xin Xing and his entourage that they would stay at the Prince's residence for a few days, so as not to cause Yang Quting and
his wife any worry. Xin

Xing had just entered his room and hadn't even sat down when he heard a knock at the door. Thinking it was the maid who had led the way, he turned to open it, only to find a pretty young woman standing there, smiling, "Yun'er, what brings you here? Is there something you need?" Yun'er shook her head and smiled slightly, then slowly walked into the room, saying, "You are my mistress, so naturally Yun'er must serve you here. How could I, like the young lady, sleep so carelessly in my folded bedding?" Xin Xing shook his head and smiled, "You're so stubborn! I can't do anything with you!" Yun'er chuckled, "Whether I'm at the Yang family or outside, my status has never changed. How can you call me stubborn?" Saying this, she walked to the bed and lifted the bed curtains. It was early summer, and the weather was getting warmer. Beside the bed sat a wooden ice tub with a lid. Inside, instead of excrement or sweat, were glistening, snow-white blocks of ice. Wealthy families would store ice in cellars during the winter, then use it to cool themselves in the tub when summer arrived. The Prince of Linzi's residence was a noble family, so naturally, they had ice cellars for storing ice. The Yang family also had underground ice cellars, so Yun'er naturally understood the purpose of the ice tub. She immediately lifted the lid, and a cool breeze wafted out. Turning to look at Xin Xing, she saw him sitting with his arms crossed, smiling at her. She couldn't help but shy away , and whispered, "You…you come sit here and cool off. I'll prepare bathwater for you." Head bowed, she hurried into the inner room. Xin Xing had barely taken a step when Yun'er came out, shaking her head and saying, "There's nothing inside, just a toilet. What are we going to do?" Seeing Yun'er's helpless expression, Xin Xing stepped forward and took her hand, saying, "It's still early. Why don't we go find Zi Qiong first, then go for a walk outside together, and ask the servants in the mansion if there's another place to bathe." Yun'er nodded and said, "Okay." The two walked out of the room hand in hand. If someone didn't know their relationship, they would think they were a young couple. Zi Qiong's room was right next to Xin Xing's. After knocking on the door for a long time without any response, Xin Xing became puzzled and said , "Zi Qiong doesn't seem to be in her room. Where could she have gone?" Just then, a maid from the mansion happened to pass by , and Xin Xing quickly asked her. The maidservant said, "Young master, are you asking about the young lady in white in this room?" Xin Xing nodded in agreement. The maidservant said, "I saw her go to Lingbo Yazhu with two other young ladies." Xin Xing asked, "Lingbo Yazhu? Where is it?" The maidservant said, "It's in the southeast corner here, not far from here. If you want to go to Lingbo Yazhu, please let me lead the way." Xin Xing nodded and agreed. After passing through two corridors, they arrived at the end, where they saw a large garden with small hills, winding streams, and lush willows, exceptionally elegant and beautiful! Among the flowers, bamboo, and strange rocks, a stream meandered, and a rainbow bridge lay across it. The maidservant pointed with her jade-like hand and said , "After crossing this bridge, you will reach Lingbo Yazhu." The two looked up and, amidst the swaying willow branches, they indeed saw a refined residence. At this moment, the stars were bright, the Milky Way clear and shallow, the stars were dazzling, and a full, bright moon illuminated the courtyard as if it were daytime. When Xin Xing arrived at the house, he saw two maids standing at the door. He bowed to them and said in unison, "Greetings, young master and young lady." Although Yun'er was dressed in plain clothes, her hair in a bun, and dressed as a maid, she was, after all, a guest of the prince , and these maids dared not be negligent. The maid who led the way said, "This young master is here to see the three young ladies." One of the door maids said, "The three young ladies are inside. Please come in." A maid opened the door and led the two inside. Xin Xing took Yun'er's hand and entered. The maid opened another door, leading them into a warm room. She turned around , gently closed the door, and left. Xin Xing glanced around. The room was empty except for a gleaming bamboo couch covered with women 's clothes. On the other side, a wooden door was open. Xin Xing was an intelligent man. As soon as he saw the layout of the room, he knew where he was and was overjoyed. Just then, Ziqiong's clear and delicate voice rang out: "Dou'er, is that you?" The voice came from next door . Xin Xing quickly responded, and suddenly heard a woman exclaim "Ah!" followed by a series of giggles.

Xin Xing's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Besides Zi Qiong, who are the other two inside? Even if one of them is Tong
Xia, who is the other one?"

Sure enough, he heard Tong Xia say, "Dou'er, why aren't you and Yun'er coming in? What are you doing standing outside?"

Yun'er was also a clever and perceptive girl. She guessed a bit of what was going on and
blushed. She looked at Xin Xing with her bright eyes and whispered, "You...you go in. Yun'er wants to go back."

Xin Xing was not about to let her leave. He hugged her tightly, kissed her on the cheek, and smiled, "My
dear Yun'er, don't you want to brush my back with me? They are all women. What are you afraid of?"

Yun'er nestled in his arms, inhaling the strong scent of his body. She was already dizzy and intoxicated, her heart fluttering. She unconsciously
hugged Xin Xing tighter.

When Xin Xing and Yun'er entered the inner room, they were greeted by a large rectangular bathtub, about sixteen or seventeen feet long and twelve
or thirteen feet wide, paved entirely with white marble. Stone steps led down to the tub from both sides. At the other end of the tub was a
stone-carved Qilin (a mythical creature), from which warm spring water emanated, wisps of steam rising gently.

Looking closer, in the very center of the tub was a white jade platform, about half a foot above the water, also rectangular
in design , resembling a large stone bed for resting. Apart from the entrance, there were no windows around the tub. Bright
moonlight shone down from the ceiling, filtering through the translucent corners, revealing a sky full of twinkling stars and
peeking branches. Jade candlesticks, each holding a candle as thick as a child's arm, were evenly distributed along the four walls,
illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Among the three women bathing in the pool, besides Ziqiong and Tongxia, the other one was Xiao Que'er.
She turned her body to the side, crossed her arms over her chest, and submerged herself in the water, only revealing her face above her chin, looking extremely embarrassed.

Seeing her embarrassed and helpless state, Xin Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "So Little Sparrow
is here too. What a coincidence!"

Little Sparrow blushed and glared at him, scolding, "You...you get out of here! What a grown man,
peeping at women bathing! Aren't you ashamed?"

Xin Xing saw Zi Qiong and Tong Xia covering their mouths and giggling, as if watching a good show, and his childlike heart was suddenly aroused. He laughed and said, "
I'm here to bathe too. How can you say I'm peeping ?"

Little Sparrow retorted indignantly, "You're lying! What kind of man and woman bathe together?"

Xin Xing laughed and said, "Of course you do! You can ask Zi Qiong, Tong Xia, and Yun'er if they've ever been
naked with me, and it wasn't just bathing, but doing *that* too." As he spoke, he took off his clothes.

Little Sparrow was even more startled when she saw this and cried out, "Don't take it off! I don't want to bathe with you!"

Xin Xing ignored her and continued to undress, saying, "If you don't want to bathe with me
, you can leave first. I'm not stopping you."

Tongxia finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Little Sparrow was now completely naked, how could she dare to stand
up leave to let him see her naked? Hearing Tongxia's laughter, she was truly filled with shame and anger, and scolded, "Tongxia, you're so mean
! It's fine if you don't help me, but you still laugh at me."

Tongxia quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I won't laugh. I'll just hide to the side and fan my wings, is that alright?"

Ziqiong wanted to step forward to help, but she remembered what the Goddess Xuan Nu had said: Xin Xing would be undergoing the Twelve Color Tribulations, and she
had been instructed not to interfere in this matter. Thinking of this, she could only remain silent and leave it to fate,
letting things develop as they would.

In a few swift movements, Xin Xing was completely naked, proudly displaying his enormous member. Yun'er
, standing beside him, turned away in embarrassment, unable to look at him.

Xiao Que'er, even more ashamed, quickly hid behind a stone platform in the pool, too ashamed to peek out.

Seeing Xiao Que'er hiding behind the platform, Xin Xing ignored her and pulled Yun'er over to undress her.

Although Yun'er was shy, she had never undressed in front of a third party before. Fortunately, everyone else besides Xin Xing was
a woman, and after a moment of hesitation, she allowed Xin Xing to act as he pleased.

The two, completely naked, stepped down the stone steps into the water. As soon as Xin Xing entered the bath, he went
to and embraced her flawless body.

Ziqiong gave him a sweet smile, her jade-like hands encircling his waist, and said softly, "I didn't expect you
to find this place so quickly."

Xin Xing laughed, "My nose is sharper than a dog's; I can tell where a woman's fragrance is just by smelling it, let alone
yours. What's so surprising about that? Yes, I still don't understand why the maids outside
didn't stop me when they saw me; they let me in so openly. It's really baffling!"

Ziqiong said, "It seems they're used to it, completely accustomed to it. Actually, the structure of this bathhouse explains
it There's even a stone bed in the pool." "What do you think it's used for?"

Tongxia laughed from the side, "Men and women bathe together, which wealthy family doesn't do that? In the Yang family, didn't you have Yun'er serving you
too ? Speaking of this bath, this is actually only for guests. The host family has a much more
luxurious bath, and there's another large bath built in the Agarwood Pavilion, twice the size of this one."

Xin Xing stuck out his tongue and said, "Imperial relatives are indeed extraordinary, even their clothing, food, and housing
are different ! How do you know about this bath, could it be..." He wanted to ask the two of them if they used divination, but suddenly remembered that
Yun'er was beside him, so he immediately stopped talking. Looking at Xiao Que'er again, he saw that she was still hiding, far away, and probably could
n't hear him.

Ziqiong shook her head: "It was the princess who invited us, and even sent someone to guide us."

Xinxing asked in astonishment: "It was Shurou, where is she?"

Tongxia laughed: "She hasn't arrived yet. If she sees you here, she'll definitely be as
startled . Tonight you'll be surrounded by beauties, bathing with five of them, quite the lucky man!" As she spoke, she stretched out her jade hand in the water,
squeezed between their tightly pressed crotches, and grabbed his manhood, saying: "Looks like this guy is going to show his might, taking on five at once
, I'm really worried you can't handle it!"

Xinxing's vital point was grasped by her, and she kept caressing it wantonly, immediately causing his blood to surge, and he... Looking at Ziqiong, who was staring at him with a half
-smile , showing no anger whatsoever, he couldn't help but ask, "Ziqiong, if it really... if you really did
that with those two, wouldn't you be angry?"

Ziqiong smiled sweetly, "Destiny is predetermined, and longing is the bitterest of lovesickness. This is all your fate.
How could Ziqiong dare to defy destiny? If you and those two are destined for each other, and both are willing, no one can stop you. This
is fate."

Xin Xing shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "I was just saying it to test your reaction, but I didn't expect you to be
so magnanimous, not angry at all!"

Seeing him become playful, Ziqiong smiled slightly, pressed her cherry lips to his, and whispered, "You're
so childish !" She then kissed him on the cheek.

Episode 5,

Part 5: Palace Turmoil / Part 6: Springtime at the Jade Pool.

Xin Xing, gently kissed by Ziqiong, felt instantly ecstatic, his mood improving immediately. Just as he was about to return the kiss,
he heard Tongxia say, "The princess has arrived. I'll go and welcome her in, lest she see Xin Xing here and
turn away without a word."

Yun'er, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed, her mind a jumble of confusion and bewilderment. She couldn't understand it, thinking, "Does Miss Tongxia
have eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind? How does she know Miss Li is outside?" She was used to calling Li Shurou "Miss Li" in the Yang household
. Although Yun'er felt strange, she dared not ask aloud.

She saw Tongxia ascend the steps, revealing her shapely and alluring naked body, and gracefully
walk to the edge of the pool, disappearing through the side door in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the little sparrow was still hiding behind the stone bed, Xin Xing's mischievous nature was aroused. He revealed a sly smile and
said , "Let me go over and scare her."

Zi Qiong knew he was always playful and mischievous, and gently instructed him, "Don't go too far. Know when to stop,
especially about that. Never force her to comply."

Xin Xing smiled and nodded, "I understand." After speaking, he splashed into the water and swam towards where the little sparrow
was hiding .

The little sparrow had hesitated at first, worried that Xin Xing might do something, but after a while, seeing that he was just
talking and laughing with Zi Qiong and the others and had no intention of coming over, she felt relieved, but also a little
disappointed.

In Xiao Que'er's heart, since learning of Yang Qiaotian's death, the pain and sorrow she felt was
hard to calm down for a while. But as the days went by, she gradually felt better. During this period, she spent more time with Xin Xing and
found that although he looked similar to Yang Qiaotian, he was
far superior to Yang Qiaotian in terms of personality, speech, and martial arts. She unconsciously developed some affection for Xin Xing and always felt that she wanted to see him often. Xiao Que'er often
wondered if this was all because she missed Yang Qiaotian.

Just as Xiao Que'er was lost in thought, suddenly there was a "splash" in the water, and water splashed everywhere. A person
jumped out of the water beside her.

Little Sparrow screamed in fright, her face turning pale. She quickly covered her chest and
turned away. Seeing that it was indeed Xin Xing, she said coquettishly, "You... what do you want? Get... get away from me!"

Xin Xing laughed and said, "You can leave if you want me to, just give me a hug and I'll go."

Little Sparrow refused to comply and scolded, "Don't even think about it! Get away from me! If you dare touch me, I
won't be polite . Zi Qiong, come save me..."

Xin Xing laughed, "It's just a hug, it's nothing. I'm coming..." He then spread his arms wide,
as if to hug her. Little Sparrow was startled and screamed again, quickly reaching out to push him away.

Just as Little Sparrow was in a panic, her hands covering her chest suddenly loosened, and her two round, snowy breasts were completely exposed
. Although it was only for a fleeting moment, Xin Xing saw it clearly, even the two delicate red plums on the peaks were completely
visible , without missing a single detail.

Xin Xing secretly admired, "Such large and beautiful breasts! This girl is not only sweet-looking, but her figure
is also amazing!" Suddenly, he saw Xiao Que'er plunge into the water, stretching her legs and waist,
swimming quickly towards Zi Qiong. Xin Xing sneered and shouted, "Where do you think you're going?" He then followed her.

Although Xiao Que'er was a good swimmer, she was no match for Xin Xing. He submerged himself at the bottom of the pool and
followed , his eyes fixed on her naked body from below. Her large breasts swayed gently in the water
, and the pubic hair between her legs rippled, contrasting beautifully with her long, shapely legs. It was truly a sight to behold,
arousing Xin Xing greatly, his penis throbbing slightly.

Xin Xing was always mischievous, and he would occasionally touch her toes to let her know he was there.

Little Sparrow was indeed startled. She used all her skills to flail and push away the troublesome creature behind her, but no matter
how tried, it wouldn't let her go! Actually, it would have been easy for Xin Xing to catch up with her, but
he was just playing a trick on her and that's why he let her go.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Little Sparrow. Overjoyed, she didn't care who it was and quickly
grabbed it, shouting, "Quick... quick, help me block him!" She hurriedly hid behind the person, only to realize that it was Yun'er
.

With a "splash," Xin Xing emerged from the water and stood in front of Yun'er, laughing, " Do you
think I can't do anything with you hiding behind me?" He spread his arms and hugged both of them, except for Yun'er between them.

The two girls screamed at the same time. Little Sparrow struggled, but Xin Xing's grip was too tight, and after several struggles
, it was all in vain. Yun'er was even more uncomfortable. The more Xiao Que'er struggled, the closer she and Xin Xing pressed together.
His thick, hot penis kept pressing against her, making her extremely uncomfortable!

Xin Xing, embracing both beauties, felt extremely happy. He kissed Yun'er on the cheek with a "pop," when suddenly a
female voice said from the side, "A grown man bullying a girl, aren't you ashamed?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, the speaker was Li Shurou. It turned out that she and Tongxia had already entered the bath and had seen
everything . Seeing that her shoulders and below were completely submerged in the water, she appeared poised and natural, unlike Xiao Que'er who
was trying to hide herself. She even had a smile on her pretty face, without the slightest embarrassment.

Xin Xing released the two women and laughed, "This isn't the first time I've bullied a woman. Now I'm going to bully a woman again
." He made a face and lunged at Li Shurou, but to his surprise, she didn't flinch or dodge. Xin Xing
was startled and tried to stop himself, but being in the water, he couldn't. Suddenly, water
splashed , and Li Shurou, unable to withstand Xin Xing's force, fell into the water.

Tong Xia laughed so hard she almost fell over. After a while, Xin Xing emerged, carrying Li Shurou. The two were
entwined , their arms tightly wrapped around Xin Xing's neck. The other women stared at each
other, stunned.

Xin Xing looked utterly embarrassed, reaching out to push Li Shurou away, but she held on tightly, raising her pretty face
to stare at him and saying, "Don't let go, hold me tight!"

This was truly unexpected; Xin Xing hadn't anticipated this turn of events and was momentarily at a loss for words,
stammering, "Shurou, you…"

Shurou continued to stare intently into his eyes, her right hand reaching into the water, grasping the jade dragon in her grasp, letting
out soft sigh, "Mmm! Yours is so big… Kiss me!"

Xin Xing, still burning with desire from Xiao Que'er, couldn't possibly resist. Besides, since she had made
this request, how could he let her lose face in public? Without hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her.

The four women simultaneously widened their eyes, watching intently, all thinking the same thing: Li Shurou was
incredibly passionate and bold!

Seeing the two so intimate, Xiao Que'er felt a pang of jealousy. She couldn't help but glance at Zi Qiong, who,
though bewildered, showed no sign of envy. Xiao Que'er shifted her position to stand beside her and whispered, "
You're Dou'er's fiancée, how come you're not angry at all?"

Zi Qiong smiled slightly and said, "Dou'er is destined to have many wives and concubines, and countless descendants. Just look at
his marital palace—it's afflicted by the auspicious stars of his birth chart, major luck cycle, and annual luck. His children's palace is filled with peach blossom stars, further
aided by the stars of academic success and wealth. It's a sign of many wives, many children, and much happiness. Fate has decreed this, and no one can reverse it."

Xiao Que'er was stunned, half-believing, half-doubting.

Tongxia led Yun'er to their side, and the four women gathered together. Tongxia said, "I never
expected the princess to have such good methods, but she doesn't know that she has ignited Dou'er's anger, which is like a raging fire that's truly
uncontrollable. She alone will definitely not be able to resist unless Dou'er lets her go."

Xiao Que'er asked in astonishment, "He...he's really that powerful?"

Tongxia smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Ziqiong and Yun'er."

Xiao Que'er looked at Ziqiong, then at Yun'er, her eyes full of questions. She saw Yun'er blush
and nod to her. Ziqiong said, "Although Dou'er has extraordinary energy, he can control it and isn't
as ."

Tongxia laughed, "Sister, you're defending Dou'er, aren't you? If he really unleashes his power, even with
the four of n't be a match for him. Don't you think so, sister?"

Xiao Que'er's heart pounded, and she stared blankly at the center of the pond, where she saw two people locked in a passionate embrace
, whispering sweet nothings. The more Xiao Que'er watched, the more captivated she became, her heart pounding, her gaze fixed
on them.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Turkic people were a large ethnic group in northern China. In the fourth year of Emperor Gaozong's reign (1268), the Turkic Khaganate was destroyed
, and the remnants of the Turks migrated westward to Central Asia, though some still assimilated with the Han Chinese. Li Longji's ancestor, Li Shimin,
had Xianbei mother, while his father, Li Yuan, was Han Chinese, thus the Li Tang dynasty was deeply influenced by non-Han cultures.

In the customs of the Hu people, there were practices such as a son marrying his mother after the father's death, and the entire family sharing one wife
. Even more extreme, women in the family could freely have sex with their fathers and sons. For example, Wang Zhaojun, after her husband's death,
remarried her two sons. In the eyes of the Hu people, this was not unusual.

The Li Tang dynasty was deeply influenced by Hu customs, and during the Wei and Jin dynasties, they lived among the Hu people for a considerable period
, adopting many of their practices, leading them to disregard traditional moral principles and ethics. Extramarital affairs were not
considered , but rather romantic affairs.

Li Shurou grew up in the royal palace, witnessing her brother and sister-in-law's philandering. Growing up under their influence
, she naturally disregarded romantic relationships.

The two, oblivious to their surroundings, constantly explored and touched each other, their actions becoming increasingly intense. After an unknown
amount of time , Xin Xing gradually regained his senses and realized he had gone too
far. He cursed himself for his lack of self-control and quickly looked for the others, only to find the bath empty.
Zi Qiong and the others had vanished.

A chill ran down Xin Xing's spine. He hurriedly said to Li Shurou, "They've all left, we should..."

Before he could finish, Li Shurou shook her head and said, "Isn't that even better? They're creating an opportunity for us.
Don't you understand?"

Xin Xing wanted to speak again, but her lips were already sealed by hers. In a short while, Xin Xing was once again lost in the moment.

Li Shurou was young and beautiful, with a wonderful figure and fiery passion. Even
seasoned women would find it hard to resist her charm, let alone a young man like Xin Xing.

The two kissed in the pool for a while. Li Shurou was burning with desire, her lust rising. She gasped softly, "
Dou'er, I can't take it anymore, please give it to me?"

Xin Xing, equally unable to resist, took her hand and stepped onto the stone platform in the pool. This stone platform was extremely ingenious, its edges
raised about three inches and paved with patterned square tiles. The surface of the stone platform was polished to a crystal-clear shine, like white jade
.

As soon as they were on the stone platform, Li Shurou glanced at Xin Xing's lower body and was startled. She had never seen such
a huge, erect, and magnificent thing before. She couldn't wait to tell Xin Xing to lie down, turned over, straddled him
, and opened her vulva wide, placing it before the man's eyes.

Xin Xing glanced up and exclaimed inwardly, "Wonderful!" He saw a vulva the color of jade, white with a rosy tinge, its two lips full and
delicate, glistening with moisture, trembling softly. Truly a wondrous spot! Xin Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned in
to lick it. A wave of pleasure washed over Li Shurou, and she couldn't help but open her mouth, letting out a soft moan.

Li Shurou caught her breath and quickly took the jade dragon in her mouth, but could only hold the head
. Her lips and cheeks bulged as she sucked hard.

Xin Xing felt a tingling, numbing sensation throughout his body, and couldn't help but thrust upwards a few times. Li Shurou
couldn't keep up ; the dragon reached deep into her throat, and with a few "oohs," she quickly spat it out.

Li Shurou propped herself up, turned her back to Xin Xing, and sat between his legs, scolding, "You choked me to death! Don't you know how thick
and big you are, torturing me like this!"

Xin Xing apologized repeatedly, then saw Li Shurou lean forward, lift her plump buttocks, and grasp his penis with her other hand, pressing the glans against the opening of her
vulva. Xin Xing asked, "Do you need my help?"

Li Shurou shook her head and said urgently, "You're too big, I'm really a little scared, let me do it slowly myself!"

Xin Xing smiled and watched her do it with wide eyes. She slowly sat down, and with a soft
"whoosh," the large penis disappeared into her vagina. A surge of intense pleasure coursed through her body, and she cried out, "Shurou, you're so
tight! It feels amazing!"

Li Shurou stopped moving, turned around, and frowned, saying, "It's just a big mushroom, and it's already...
it's so swollen, so uncomfortable! Shurou is really afraid...afraid you'll break it!"

Xin Xing laughed, "You're both afraid and wanting it. What do you want me to do?"

Li Shurou pouted, "Don't laugh at me! Ziqiong and Yun'er can do it, I don't believe I can't
. Hmm! Half of it's in, almost...almost filling you up..."

Xin Xing said, "Actually, what's there to be afraid of? It's just your imagination. Now you're not..."
"Halfway in? I'll take care of the rest." As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Xing thrust upwards with all his might. Suddenly, she screamed
and fell backwards, landing on Xin Xing's back.

Li Shurou protested, "It hurts...it hurts so much! You...you've penetrated inside me!"

Xin Xing knew she wasn't lying, so he didn't dare move. He wrapped his hands around her front,
cupping and gently caressing them, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so shallow and so tight."

Li Shurou said, "Qiaotian and I only did it a few times, and that was two years ago. Plus, you're
much better than him. How am I supposed to adapt all of a sudden?"

Xin Xing gently stroked her body and asked, "You really like Yang Qiaotian, don't you?"

Li Shurou hesitated for a moment and said, "Qiaotian is my third brother's good friend. They've known each other since childhood. A few years
ago, Qiaotian often came here to play. I was fourteen then, and I played with them. Whether I like him
or not, I don't really know myself."

Xin Xing's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, "How could you not know?"

Li Shurou shook her head: "When I was sixteen, my third brother wasn't home that day. I accompanied Qiaotian to Longqing Pond
to row and throw lotus pods. That day he suddenly..." He then hugged me, kissing and touching me. Finally, he pinned me down on the boat, stripped me naked
, and gave myself to him like that!

Xin Xing asked, "You let him do this without resisting?"

Li Shurou replied, "At that time, I was so weak from his touch that my whole body went limp. It felt strange and wonderful.
My mind was just spinning, and I did everything he asked. Even when he asked me to suck his mouth, I did it. It
wasn't until he penetrated me and hurt me that I came to my senses a little, but by then it was too late. Since that time..." After that, he often
came to see me. For some reason, I also really wanted to see him, wanted to be with him, and hoped he would come to see me often. But
Qiaotian always liked to run around, sometimes disappearing for months at a time, which was really infuriating. I had a little crush on him, but
whether I liked him or not, I didn't even dare to say myself.

Xin Xing finally understood, thinking that it was indeed hard to say. When one's heart is first awakened,
how can
Back then, I was seduced by that vixen Huo Qianqian, and I still lost my virginity to her. Thinking of Huo Qianqian, Xin Xing felt both love and hate. Her flawless naked body flashed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but thrust hard.
Li Shurou cried out "Ah!" and Xin Xing came to his senses.

He saw Li Shurou pitifully saying, "You're going in so deep, it hurts so much."

Xin Xing laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go slowly and make sure you feel comfortable!" Then he slowly thrust in and out,
sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, using the technique of nine shallow thrusts and one deep thrust.

In a short while, after Xin Xing's first round of penetration, Li Shurou gradually improved, her vagina becoming more comfortable, and soft
moans kept reaching Xin Xing's ears: "Ah! So comfortable, can you go faster? It feels so good inside
, put it all the way in, I want more!"

Xin Xing grasped her breasts with both hands, squeezing and kneading them forcefully, making them look strangely shaped, and began
to speed up , thrusting straight into her depths, asking, "How is it now? Is it comfortable?"

Li Shurou kept shaking her head, crying out, "It's so beautiful, it's been two years since I've had any penetration, and now you're
the big thing, making me feel so full! Please go harder, I feel like I need to pee... ah!"

After a round of fierce thrusts, Shurou finally couldn't bear it any longer, her moans becoming more urgent and louder, and suddenly her body
stiffened , she choked, trembled a few times, and then came out.

Seeing her climax, Xin Xing slowly thrust a few times before stopping and asking, "Are you alright?"

Li Shurou, feeling utterly weak, lazily nodded, "It was wonderful, this feeling is so good."

Xin Xing shifted his body slightly, gently placing her on the stone bed, then rolled over and pressed himself against her. Li Shurou
raised , already encircling Xin Xing's neck, and pressed her face against his handsome face, saying, "Dou'er, I've never felt so comfortable before, I
love you to death!"

Xin Xing smiled and said, "Want to feel even more comfortable?"

Li Shurou nodded vigorously, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Yes, but unfortunately you're too big, Shurou
can't fully contain you. If only I could possess you completely, how wonderful that would be, but I know that's absolutely impossible
. Just having a little bit of you is enough for me!"

Xin Xing naturally understood what she meant by these words, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Li Shurou then said, "
Dou'er , I have something to tell you, do you want to hear it?" Xin Xing nodded.

But then Li Shurou said, "I know Xiao Que'er likes you a lot. Her words and actions have made it clear
. Besides, she told me a few days ago that if Qiao Tian hadn't died, she might be much calmer and wouldn't be
so distressed. Do you understand what she means?"

Xin Xing was an extremely intelligent man. How could he not understand such an obvious dialogue? He asked, "Did she really say
that ?"

Li Shurou nodded and said, "Why would I lie to you? If she didn't like you, why would she let you act so
recklessly ? I never thought that everything would change after Qiao Tian died!" After saying that, she reached down to Xin Xing's crotch, grasped his penis,
and guided it to his anus. She whispered, "Put it in, love me one more time."

Without saying a word, Xin Xing thrust his hips forward, and his entire penis slid in smoothly, filling him completely.

"Ah! Dou'er..." Li Shurou hugged him tightly, swaying her hips and arching her back to match Xin Xing's thrusting.

Seeing that she had adapted to his enormous size, Xin Xing no longer held back, thrusting his hilt deep with every stroke,
pumping wildly.

Li Shurou urged him to keep his finger on her flower core, feeling a truly tingling and exhilarating sensation! Previously, when she had been with Yang Qiaotian, her penis was
too small, and she had never experienced this soul-stirring pleasure. She felt as if she were floating on air, her whole body trembling
. After a hundred or so thrusts, she would secretly ejaculate again.

Xin Xing, after a fierce session, suddenly sat up straight, raising her legs to the sky, and continued his next round of assault. Looking down
, he saw her plump, tender vulva tightly gripping his jade dragon, each thrust sending spurts of nectar flying
. His lust surged, and ignoring her delicate flower, he immediately spurred his attack.

Li Shurou moaned softly, her lips trembling and tongue growing cold. She felt dizzy and on the verge of collapse when she heard
Xin Xing say, "Shurou, just a little longer..."

Hearing this, she knew he was nearing his climax. Li Shurou mustered her remaining strength and thrust eagerly. Sure enough,
it didn't take long before Xin Xing shuddered several times, his glans pressing deep inside her as he ejaculated, hot and
sticky, so intensely that she could barely control herself, collapsing onto him.

The two remained pressed together, chest to chest, embracing tightly. After gradually calming down, they made love again before leaving the bath. Xin
Xing hurriedly returned to his room, intending to question Yun'er about her sudden departure, but the room was empty. He then rushed to Zi Qiong's...
He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, and he began to worry.

Xin Xing stood in front of the door and muttered to himself, "It's so late, where did they go?"

Li Shurou beside him said, "Shall I go and ask them?"

Xin Xing shook his head and said, "No need, they'll show up eventually."

Li Shurou smiled slightly, "In that case, why don't you come to my room? I still want more."

Xin Xing's eyes widened, and he laughed, "You...you really want to drain me dry before you stop!"

Li Shurou stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "That's what I want."

Episode 5, Part 6 (End)

Episode 5: Palace Turmoil / Part 7: Double Blessings

A gentle evening breeze blew, and nightingales flew into the forest. The Crown Prince's palace was quiet, with only the occasional crackling of the candles in the palace lanterns
. Crown Prince Li Chongjun was not asleep. He lay naked on the bed, his eyes wide open, staring blankly into space
.

Naked, Consort Liu lay half-lying on his chest, one jade hand caressing his limp penis.
She looked up at the Crown Prince and said, "My lord, don't hesitate any longer. The Fifth Prince has been exiled, Wang Tongjiao has been arrested, and
you could be next. If Wu Sansi doesn't die, neither you nor I will have a day of peace. Do you want Yu'er
to watch you be harmed by villains?"

Li Chongjun sighed and said, "This matter is of utmost importance. It's precisely because I don't want to lose you that I'm at
a loss. If I'm not absolutely certain, I can't act rashly. If I fail, I'll die without consequence, but
it will implicate others. How can I not be careful?" Consort

Liu said, "My lord, you're mistaken. Even if you don't act..." " They won't let you go either, and they'll take our lives
sooner . It'll all be the same then! Since there's no other choice, why not take a gamble?
There might still be a chance. If you delay any longer and let them make their move first, it will be too late!"

Li Chongjun pondered for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yu'er, you're right. The reason I hesitated
was mainly for you. We've only been husband and wife for two years, and I really don't want to be separated from you, you know?"

Liu Fei nodded slightly, "I know you love and care for me, and so do I! That's why the best solution is to
eliminate the root cause ."

Li Chongjun hugged Liu Fei tightly and resolutely said, "Alright! Chongjun will listen to you. Tomorrow I'll
discuss it ..." "We should strike first and kill these adulterers. But if this fails, my husband and I will likely be separated
forever, which is the last thing I want to see!"

Consort Liu smiled sweetly, "My lord, you will surely succeed. But no matter what, I will serve you
wholeheartedly . You finished in such a hurry just now, I'm sure you weren't quite satisfied. I'll go and ask a palace maid to fetch some blister beetles
, what do you say?"

Li Chongjun shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat this kind of filthy stuff. Haven't you suffered enough that day?
I took this medicine that day, and my penis was hard the whole time. I kept you going for more than two hours without ejaculating a drop
. You had to find three palace maids to help you, taking turns, and it took you half a day to finish." " Those kinds of monstrous things,
just thinking about them sends chills down my spine!"

Consort Liu laughed. "Thinking back to that night, Junlang, you were truly valiant! I won't even mention myself, but those
three palace maids, each of them did it to you seven or eight times, and they still wouldn't stop. I was really terrified of you!"

Li Chongjun said, "Since you know that, why did you still make me eat this stuff?"

Consort Liu said, "I wouldn't dare anymore, so you should punish Yu'er! How about this, Yu'er will think of another way
to make you happy and atone for my sins?"

Li Chongjun smiled at her, "You always have so many tricks up your sleeve. What is it?"

Consort Liu shook her head and smiled, "I won't tell you now, you'll find out in a moment." After saying that, she slowly propped herself up
, leaned over to the bedside, and pulled the bell.

A moment later, a palace maid walked in, stopped about ten feet from the bed, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Your Majesty!
" The palace maid was about sixteen or seventeen years old, as beautiful as a delicate flower reflected in water, incomparably gorgeous.

Consort Liu, still completely naked, sat on the edge of the couch with a sweet smile. She glanced at the naked Crown Prince on the couch, then
at the palace maid, and said, "Zhi'er, His Highness often praises you to me, saying you are beautiful, lovely, and incredibly intelligent. If
I'm not mistaken, His Highness has already favored you, hasn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chongjun and Zhi'er were both startled. Zhi'er immediately knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "
This servant deserves to die! Please forgive me, Your Highness, spare my life!"

Li Chongjun, also worried that Consort Liu might harm her, immediately sat up and said, "Don't blame Zhi'er,
let her go."

Consort Liu smiled gently and said to Zhi'er, "You see, His Highness is so good to you. Just now I asked you..." "Speak
! You still haven't answered me. How many times have you and His Highness done this in secret? Speak quickly!"

Zhi'er trembled all over, her voice trembling as she said, "Three...three times."

Consort Liu glanced at Li Chongjun and smiled, "You've done such a good deed. If I don't ask you today,
you'll probably keep it from me forever."

Li Chongjun hurriedly said, "It was my fault. I was drunk that day and did this in a moment of foolishness. Please don't be
angry! Zhi'er, this is none of your business. You should go out first."

Consort Liu hurriedly said, "Wait, I have something to do. Zhi'er, come here."

Upon hearing this, Zhi'er was even more terrified, cold sweat pouring down her face. However, she could not disobey, so she slowly stood up,
lowered her head, and walked to Consort Liu.

Consort Liu looked her up and down for a while and said, "Raise your head."

Zhi'er had no choice but to obey, trembling as she did. A stunningly beautiful face
immediately her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her teeth were white and smooth, and she had a beautiful face.

Consort Liu reached out her jade-like hand and gently stroked her face for a while, then slowly said, "Zhi'er, do you know?
His likes you, which is your blessing. From now on, you must serve His Highness well, do you hear me?"

Zhi'er, not knowing if she was being sarcastic, stammered, "This servant dares not, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Consort Liu said, "What are you afraid of? I didn't say I would punish you. If you don't serve well and
displease , then it will be a different story." Her jade-like hand slowly moved down, gliding over her slender neck, down her shoulder
, and finally to her firm chest. Her five jade-like fingers, like bamboo shoots, tightened slightly, taking one of her breasts
in her hand, and she clicked her tongue in admiration, "I didn't expect you to have such a good body at such a young age! It's so full, round and
perky . It seems His Highness also likes your treasures very much, doesn't he?"

At this moment, Zhi'er was truly ashamed. Hearing this, her face immediately turned red, and she dared not answer her.

Seeing this, Li Chongjun was momentarily confused by Consort Liu's intentions. He was captivated by Zhi'er's shy,
blushing, and delicate beauty, finding her indescribably lovely. He immediately said, "
How can Zhi'er answer such a shameful question? My dear consort, please don't trouble her!"

Consort Liu smiled and said, "Your Highness always likes to say nice things to her. Very well, since you like Zhi'er so much,
I'll grant your wish tonight. Let me and Zhi'er serve you together. What do you say, Your Highness?"

Li Chongjun couldn't believe his ears. He knew his wife's temperament best. Consort Liu was perfect in every
way—beautiful, gentle, and passionate—except for her extreme jealousy. Since their marriage, whenever Li Chongjun
had occasional trysts with other consorts, she would become irritable, ignoring him for days, let alone sharing his bed
. The last time, Li Chongjun had taken an aphrodisiac, which she couldn't resist, and she reluctantly allowed a maid to accompany him—this was their
first time breaking the ice.

Upon hearing this, Zhi'er was startled. Everyone in the palace knew how jealous the Empress was, so she dared not believe it.

Consort Liu laughed, "Zhi'er, why are you still standing there like that? Do you want me to take off your clothes for you?"

Zhi'er's face immediately turned red, still unable to believe it. Consort Liu naturally understood what she was worried about, so
she pulled her closer, embraced her delicate body, and pulled off the sash below her chest. Only then did Zhi'er realize what was happening, and she quickly said
, "This servant wouldn't dare, please let go, Your Highness, and let this servant take off my clothes myself."

Zhi'er shifted her body slightly, not daring to be harassed, and immediately began to take off her clothes
. A soft rustling sound could be heard, and in a short while, Zhi'er was completely naked.

Consort Liu glanced at her and couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhi'er, you are so beautiful! Such a perfect body
would make woman's heart flutter, let alone a man's!" She then embraced her and gently stroked her body
. Suddenly, her jade hand slid to one side and grasped one of her breasts, playing with it tenderly.

Although Zhi'er had played with the Crown Prince a few times, she was still young and extremely sensitive. Now, with Consort Liu
's actions, she couldn't help but tremble frequently, swaying her delicate body slightly, and shyly calling out, "Your Majesty
..."

Consort Liu glanced at Li Chongjun and saw that he was staring intently. She couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. A thought flashed through her mind, and she
made a plan. She pressed her face close to Zhi'er and said, "Indeed, a pair of fine breasts, round and plump, so rare
to find so full and firm. They feel so good to touch. Look at your nipples, the pink ring, even more tender than mine. They make one
's mouth water, and one can't help but want to bite them!" She deliberately teased her with words, each word explicit, yet she didn't allow Li Chongjun
to touch them, intending to torment him a little. After

these words, Zhi'er was so ashamed that she couldn't stand up straight and quietly turned her head away. Seeing her fidgeting, Consort Liu was even more amused .
She wrapped one arm around Zhi'er's slender waist and touched her jade gate with the other. Zhi'er quickly covered her mouth and squeezed her legs together. Consort Liu
laughed, "You're all wet down there, still shy!" She rubbed her clitoris a few times with her middle finger, and Zhi'er couldn't bear it any longer and
let out a soft moan.

Consort Liu went even further, leaning in and sucking on one of her nipples. Zhi'er could no longer endure it: "Your Majesty..."
Her body went limp, and she almost slipped to the ground. She quickly grabbed Consort Liu with both hands, panting heavily.

Seeing the two embracing each other, acting so recklessly, Li Chongjun was filled with lust. His previously limp
penis was now erect and trembling with intense desire.

After indulging in her wanton play for a while, Consort Liu asked, "Is it comfortable?" Zhi'er nodded shyly. Consort Liu laughed
, "You're satisfied, but I'm suffering terribly! Come on, lick me." With that, she gently pushed Zhi'er away,
sat on the edge of the couch, spread her legs, and presented her mons pubis to her, saying, "His Highness just ejaculated all over my belly,
and there's still a lot left inside. Come and lick it for me."

Zhi'er felt increasingly disgusted, but since the Empress had ordered it, she had to obey no matter how disgusted she felt. So she obediently knelt before her
, closed her eyes, and gently licked her mons pubis.

Consort Liu supported herself with her hands behind her back, leaning forward. Suddenly being licked by Zhi'er, her legs trembled
slightly . She said, "Suck harder. Very good... just like that. And that little bean, wipe it for me with your hand for a
while. Ah... so comfortable!" Consort Liu was already exceptionally beautiful, with a flower-like face and jade-like skin. She was truly
captivating with every step and alluring with every glance. At this moment, she exuded allure, appearing even more charming and alluring.

Li Chongjun, watching from the side, was consumed by lust and could no longer resist. He pounced on her and embraced her tightly.

Liu Fei smiled at him, turned, and wrapped her arms around his neck, saying sweetly, "My dear handsome man, I see you can't resist anymore
. Is my method more effective, or are blister beetles more effective?"

Li Chongjun laughed, "It's not that your method is more effective, it's just that you're too tempting and adorable."

Liu Fei smiled sweetly, "And Zhi'er, am I right?"

Li Chongjun, afraid of arousing her jealousy, dared not utter a word. Just then, Consort Liu's brows furrowed, and she tilted her head
back , crying out, "Ah! Zhi'er... no, this is so uncomfortable! Quickly... pull your tongue out...
"

Consort Liu pushed Zhi'er's head away, finally catching her breath, and said, "Zhi'er, come to the bed and
play a tune for His Highness."

Zhi'er understood her meaning, and slowly climbed onto the bed, only to see the Crown Prince kneeling before the Consort's chest
, sucking greedily. Zhi'er dared not look too long, and leaned closer to Li Chongjun's legs, where she saw his manhood
standing proudly and erect, the purplish-red glans glistening, and a small droplet of fluid seeping from the urethral opening. Zhi'er's
heart pounded wildly, and when she grasped it, it was hard and hot, her heart skipping a beat.

Just as Li Chongjun was enjoying himself, he suddenly felt a tightness in his glans, as Zhi'er had taken it into her mouth, and a wave of pleasure instantly spread
throughout his body.

Consort Liu, thoroughly enjoying his ministrations, held his head firmly, fearing he might leave. She asked, "Your Highness,
how does it feel to have both of us serving you at the same time?"

Li Chongjun sucked hard on her nipple, his words muffled, "It's wonderful! I can't hold back any longer.
My dear consort, lie down and let me cool off."

Consort Liu said, "I was a step behind. If Your Highness is burning up, let Zhi'er suck it out for you, shall we?"

Li Chongjun shook his head, "That's not good. I have another good idea." He then propped himself up, bringing his mouth
close to Consort Liu's ear and whispering a few words.

Consort Liu, after listening, gently slapped him and giggled, "You really came up with that! Since Your
Highness I will obey."

Li Chongjun sat up, helping Zhi'er to sit on the bed. His eyes fell
on her pretty face; seeing her head bowed, looking embarrassed and helpless, he felt both pity and love for her. He then embraced her.
He kissed her cheek and asked, "Do you want it now? Tell me."

Zhi'er gently shook her head, then gently nodded. Seeing this, Li Chongjun couldn't help but laugh. He grasped
one of her breasts, gently caressing it, and asked with a smile, "Do you want it or not?" Consort

Liu said from the side, "His Highness is asking you a question. How can you not answer?"

Zhi'er blushed with embarrassment, but had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, this servant wants it."

Li Chongjun was delighted to hear this. He grasped both of her breasts with both hands at the same time, kneading them with his fingers, and asked again, "Do you like it when I play with you like
this ?"

Zhi'er dared not not answer this time and nodded, saying, "I like it. Your Highness is playing with me so comfortably."

Li Chongjun laughed again, played with her for a while, and then got off the bed, standing aside with his erect penis.

Consort Liu pulled Zhi'er to lie on her back on the bed, straddled her, and brought her cherry lips to her mouth: "Open your mouth!"

Zhi'er opened her mouth as instructed, and they immediately began to kiss. The two of them touched and pinched each other, their four breasts rubbing
against each other. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Chongjun, who was standing in front of the bed, climbed onto the bed and knelt behind the two of them. He held his jade stem and stroked it for a while
, then pressed the head of his penis against Consort Liu's jade gate.

With a thrust of his waist, he inserted half of his penis. Consort Liu couldn't help but cry out "Oh!" as he squeezed her. Suddenly, she felt the contents of her vagina suddenly go all the way in,
followed by as waves of pleasure surged through her.

With each thrust of Li Chongjun, the two of them swayed back and forth. Zhi'er, who was below, naturally knew what was happening
. To increase the Empress's interest, she moved her hands and took Consort Liu's two large breasts into her hands.

Consort Liu, thoroughly enjoying herself, exclaimed, "Your Highness is so amazing! You penetrate so deeply, it feels so
good !" Encouraged, Li Chongjun immediately increased his efforts, gripping her plump buttocks and thrusting forcefully.

He thrust hundreds of times in one breath, then withdrew his penis, pointing it at Zhi'er below. He rubbed the head of his penis against her a few times,
causing Zhi'er to tremble repeatedly. She could only tightly embrace Consort Liu, her legs wide open, waiting for the dragon to visit.

Li Chongjun thrust in, and with a "squeak," the tip entered, immediately gripped tightly by the opening,
tight and warm, incredibly pleasurable. Li Chongjun couldn't help but sigh, then thrust his hips forward, the entire jade stem disappearing completely,
a satisfying and exhilarating experience.

Zhi'er's small, beautiful opening was suddenly filled to the brim by the enormous thing, how could she bear it? She couldn't help but cry out
, her pretty face flushed red.

Li Chongjun said nothing more and immediately began thrusting, slow at first and then faster. After a few dozen thrusts, Zhi'er began
to moan softly. Li Chongjun's lust intensified, and he thrust again a hundred times. Zhi'er finally couldn't resist and secretly ejaculated
.

Seeing her furrowed brows and pitiful, delicate appearance, Consort Liu smiled slightly,
gently brushing aside her loose hair, and asked, "How is Your Highness's penis? Is it hard and hot? Does it
feel good for Zhi'er?"

Zhi'er's starry eyes were half-open, and she stared blankly at her, nodding. Just then, Li Chongjun thrust heavily, and she was speechless,
only able to tightly embrace Consort Liu.

Seeing her chance, Consort Liu quickly put her tongue into Zhi'er's mouth, which Zhi'er immediately took, and they began a passionate kiss.

Li Chongjun thrust in and out hundreds of times, then switched to Consort Liu, sharing the nectar evenly in turn. Finally, unable to bear it any longer
, he released all his essence into Consort Liu's vagina. After he finished, he was exhausted and collapsed onto
the bed, panting heavily.

Seeing that he had finished, Consort Liu propped herself up, knelt down between Li Chongjun's legs, lifted his penis, and licked it
clean with her mouth. Then she said to Zhi'er, "Let His Highness rest for a while. Go and prepare bathwater for me."

Zhi'er replied with a yes and left the bed.

After Liu Fei left, she leaned over Li Chongjun, gently stroking his cheek with her jade-like hand, and said, "Junlang,
were you satisfied just now? Do you want Zhi'er to stay tonight and have her again?"

Li Chongjun opened his eyes, looking at her with a puzzled expression, "Yu'er, you seem to have changed. How come you've become so
generous? What's the reason?"

Liu Fei smiled, "You mean I'm usually very petty, right?"

Li Chongjun said, "That's not what I meant, but you have indeed changed a lot these days."

Liu Fei kissed him and slowly said, "Junlang, don't be suspicious, and don't overthink things. I've
thought . Since we got married, I still haven't had any children. For the sake of your Li family, I have to
make a change. From now on, I won't interfere with whichever concubine you like to be with."

Li Chongjun was deeply moved and didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, Zhi'er returned and said that the bathwater was
ready.

Liu Fei helped Li Chongjun up and said, "Shall we take a bath together?" Li Chongjun nodded in agreement.

Inside the palace chamber was a large circular pool, large enough to accommodate four or five people bathing together. The pool was surrounded by bluestone paving. On
the right wall was carved a pattern of weeping willows and phoenixes spreading their wings. On the left stood a gilded screen inscribed with Chen Shubao's poem
"Breaking the Willow Branch": "The willow stirs spring's passion, startling the concubines in the brothel. Entering the tower, pink petals float, mingling with the sound of pipes in the wind. New varieties are recognized in Wuchang
, and life remains at Guandu. The song of leaving the border will still resonate with the Huqin."

Consort Liu said, "Zhi'er, you don't need to stay. Let me serve His Highness."

Zhi'er quickly agreed and withdrew. Consort Liu helped Li Chongjun into the pool. The water was only about two feet
deep; sitting in it, the water only reached his chest. Consort Liu, her body limp, nestled against Li Chongjun and said, "That
day, we had just moved into the East Palace and spent the whole day being intimate in this bath." She then pointed to the stone platform by the pool and smiled, "
It was right there, Your Highness

, do you remember?" Li Chongjun smiled, "Of course I remember. I'm still reeling from the memory of your pain that day!"

Consort Liu lightly hit him, "It was my first time then, but you didn't cherish me at all. You know,
the back is different from the front, and you thrust so hard, how could it not hurt!"

Li Chongjun embraced her, saying, "It was all my fault that day. I lost control and made you suffer."

Consort Liu nestled closer to him, her jade hand reaching down to his... He grasped the now limp penis and began to slowly
play with it, asking, "Young man, when do you plan to act on what we were discussing?"

Li Chongjun thought for a moment and said, "The other day, Li Qianli, Li Duozuo, and I were drinking and talking about
the actions . We were all filled with righteous indignation. We unanimously agreed that if these two are not eliminated, there will be no peace in the family, the country, or the world
. Judging from their behavior that day, they would definitely respond if I brought it up. But to be on the safe side,
the Eastern Palace is not a suitable place to discuss this. Tomorrow I will visit General Li's house and sound out his opinion."

Consort Liu frowned and asked, "What if he objects?"

Li Chongjun shook his head and said, "If that's the case, we'll have to find someone else. But in my opinion, even if Li Qianli refuses,
there are still Li Xi and Li Duozuo; they shouldn't be a problem." Consort

Liu said, "That's good. I hope you can succeed this time, Junlang, so I won't have to worry
about this all the time!" As she spoke, a glint flashed in Consort Liu's eyes, revealing a barely perceptible light
.

Little did Li Chongjun know that the beloved consort before him was no longer the gentle and beautiful Yu'er of the past, but
a walking corpse possessed by Luo Cha Ye Ji, leading him step by step into her conspiracy.

Episode 5, Part 7 (Complete

) Episode 5: Palace Turmoil / Part 8: The Crown Prince's Suppression of the Rebellion

The next day, Xin Xing had just left Li Shurou's room when he saw Yun'er walking towards him in the corridor. Overjoyed,
he immediately rushed forward and said with a smile, "Yun'er, what are you doing here?"

Yun'er replied, "It's Miss Ziqiong who's looking for you. She said you were in Miss Li's room and sent me to inform you."

Xin Xing was taken aback and asked, "Ziqiong is looking for me! Do you know what it's about?"

Yun'er shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. The two arrived outside Ziqiong's room. Xinxing, fearing
it would be inconvenient , said, "You go back first, I'll be back soon."

Xinxing entered Ziqiong's room and saw Tongxia inside as well. He asked with a smile, "Where did you two go last night?"

Tongxia smiled slightly, "Seeing you two getting along so well, how could we dare to disturb you?"

Ziqiong glared at him with a half-smile. Xinxing immediately felt uncomfortable and scratched his head, laughing, "Don't say that
." As he spoke, he walked up to Ziqiong and was about to reach out to hug her.

Ziqiong dodged and slapped his hand, saying, "Don't be silly, I have something serious to tell you
." Xin Xing had no choice but to stop. Ziqiong continued, "This morning at dawn, the Imperial Son-in-Law Wang Tongjiao was secretly executed in prison
, along with Zhang Zhongzhi, Zu Yanqing, Shouchun, and others."

Xin Xing was shocked. Tongxia continued, "There was another one named Zhou Jing. Yesterday, upon learning of the failure, he hurriedly
fled, intending to escape Chang'an. However, he was discovered by the soldiers and chased to the Zigan Temple. Knowing he had nowhere to go, Zhou Jing
pointed at the statue in the temple and cried out, 'Zigan, you are a loyal minister of ancient times, you should know my loyalty. Wu and Wei
were licentious in the palace, formed cliques for personal gain, and framed loyal ministers. Their crimes are too numerous to count. I now appeal to the Heavenly Court, hoping for Heaven's mercy
to bring justice to the wronged ministers.' After saying this, he raised his long sword and cut his own throat."

Ziqiong said, "Yesterday, the four were arrested on the spot. " That very day, a joint trial was held. Zhang Zhongzhi directly accused
Wu Sansi . Because the case implicated the Empress, treacherous officials like Yang Zaisi and Wei Juyuan
simply closed their eyes and pretended not to hear anything. They immediately had the four of them imprisoned and hastily executed. It seems this was all
at the behest .

Xin Xing cursed, "Wu Sansi is such a vicious scoundrel. Fortunately, Wang Ju was not destined to die and escaped this calamity. By the way,
does Wang Ju know about this?"

Zi Qiong said, "The court has not yet announced this matter to the outside world, so of course he wouldn't know. But I'm worried that Wu Sansi might not
let him go, which is why I called you here."

Xin Xing glared and angrily said, "If he dares to do this, I won't be Xin Xing if I don't tear him in two!"

Tong Xia laughed and said, "You can protect Wang Ju for a day, but you can't protect him forever. Once this matter has calmed down, Wu Sansi
will send someone to make his move. How will you protect yourself then?" Xin Xing thought about it and agreed.

Ziqiong said, "The best course of action now is to have him leave Chang'an quietly and temporarily change his name. This is the long-term
solution."

Xinxing was delighted to hear this and nodded, "That's right, this method is feasible."

Ziqiong continued, "No one outside knows that the Imperial Son-in-Law was killed in prison. If we tell
him immediately, Li Longji will become suspicious. So, we shouldn't tell him about this for now. You and he are good brothers. Later, you can
pretend to mention the Imperial Son-in-Law's safety to him. He will definitely send people to investigate. After all, he is a prince, so it won't be difficult for him to find out. Only then
can we discuss Wang Ju's departure with him, so that he won't become suspicious." Xinxing thought this made a lot of sense.

Meanwhile, Li Chongjun had just arrived at the Li residence when he learned from Li Duozuo that Wang Tongjiao had been killed.
Upon hearing this, Li Chongjun's face changed drastically, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table: "That Wu Sansi! If this man isn't eliminated, it's an injustice
!"

Li Duozuo sighed: "Your Highness, now the meritorious officials in the court are either demoted or killed. If I'm not
mistaken, after eliminating all the officials, Wu Sansi's second target will be Your Highness!"

Li Chongjun tentatively asked: "General Li, what should we do?"

Li Duozuo leaned closer and whispered: "As the saying goes: strike first, or lose big. If you don't heed my advice now, it will be too late to regret it
later "I urge Your Highness to reconsider."

These words were exactly what Li Chongjun wanted to hear. He nodded and said, "General Li's words are very true. What are the chances of success?"

Li Duozuo, always proud and arrogant, immediately said, "When we quelled the rebellion of the Two Zhangs, the success lay in a swift and decisive battle. This time,
Wu Sansi is wicked and licentious, and can be said to be no different from the Two Zhangs. If we can seize the opportunity and attack him when he is unprepared, we can eliminate him immediately."

Upon hearing this, Li Chongjun slapped his thigh and said, "General Li is right. This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer .
Today, unless we do it, we must eradicate him completely and thoroughly. We must also
eliminate . This time, it's either the fish die or the net breaks!" Three days later, on the evening of the same day, the Tang Dynasty palace was as peaceful and serene as ever. Just after 9 PM, with two hours left before curfew, Li Qianli, as usual, was leading three hundred Imperial Guards on patrol outside the palace. Since being promoted to Prince Cheng, Li Qianli retained his position as General of the Imperial Guards, responsible for protecting the various palaces . His son, Li Xi, was enfeoffed as Prince of Tianshui and also led several hundred Imperial Guards to guard the palace gates. Another group of over three hundred Imperial Guards, led by Li Chongjun, and accompanied , set off from Yanxi Gate, heading straight for Pingkang Ward. At this time, a family banquet was being held at Prince Jingde's residence. Wu Sansi's concubines sat around Wu Chongxun, the table laden with fine wine and dishes, passing cups and exchanging sweet words, all chatting and laughing. It was said that Wu Sansi had just taken in a beauty named Chu Yun yesterday, who was only eighteen years old this year, with a face as beautiful as a flower and skin as smooth as jade. Wu Sansi had tried her last night and found her to be absolutely gorgeous. Before he had even settled into the banquet tonight , he had already taken Chu Yun to his room for a tryst. Although Chu Yun was young, she possessed an alluring charm. With a slight flush of alcohol, she appeared even more captivating and alluring, instantly bewitching Wu Sansi, leaving him utterly infatuated. The two on the bed were already naked. Wu Sansi lay on top of her, swaying his hips as he cried out, "My darling, I'll give you a set of my manhood down there, it's like a carp's mouth, it's so satisfying, I'm going to pounce on you!"

"I want to ejaculate, it's so pleasurable!"

Chu Yun groaned with pleasure as he fucked her, then said, "Your Highness is truly valiant, you've done it in the
time , while others have already lost their virginity several times, yet Your Highness remains as hard as iron! You should pity Chu Yun's tender body and finish this quickly
!"

Wu Sansi laughed loudly, "I didn't expect you to be less and less effective each time. Last night you lasted half an hour, but
today you begged for mercy after just a few thrusts, truly useless." After saying this, he sat up straight, pushed her legs apart, and began to thrust hard.
This rapid thrusting caused her lips to spit out fluids, making a splattering sound.

How could Chu Yun resist? She felt her body tremble and her tongue go cold, her whole body like a small boat bobbing on the waves.

Wu Sansi was getting carried away, his movements becoming more and more violent, and in the blink of an eye, he had thrust a hundred times, before he felt the urge to ejaculate approaching. He
quickly made a final, vigorous thrust, and finally, his penis opened, and he released completely! The two women lay pressed together, embracing, savoring the afterglow of
their encounter .

In the main hall, Wu Chongxun was seen embracing Xiuyue, Wu Sansi's sixth concubine. This stepmother was only twenty years old
, a few years younger than Wu Chongxun. Because of her delicate beauty and skill in bed, she had always been favored by
Wu Sansi youth, was a womanizer; besides his first wife, he had slept with all six of his other stepmothers
.

Below Wu Chongxun sat his third and fifth concubines, who were playing a drinking
game, their voices trembling with pleasure. The other three concubines were clinking glasses, joking and laughing, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

At this moment, Xiuyue, as if boneless, nestled against Wu Chongxun, whining sweetly, "
You philanderer, always whispering shameful things in my ear, making me so itchy!"

Just then, Li Chongjun led the Imperial Guards to the Prince's mansion. With a single command, the Imperial Guards surrounded the mansion
. Li Duozuo's son-in-law, Yehuli, shouted, "Come with me and search..." The people inside the mansion, startled by the sudden sound of shouts and the neighing of horses

, became suspicious. Wu Chongxun was the first to stand up and asked, "
What's going on?"

Before he finished speaking, more than ten servants, armed with weapons, rushed in and said, "It's terrible!
A large number of Imperial Guards have arrived and have completely surrounded the Prince's mansion."

Wu Chongxun was shocked. A eunuch from the mansion immediately handed him a sword. Wu Chongxun drew his sword and said
, "Quickly inform the Prince. The rest of you, come with me." The man responded and ran off. Wu Chongxun said to
the women , "Don't worry, what can a few Imperial Guards do? You all find a place to hide."
Hearing this, the women were immediately terrified and scattered, each seeking cover.

Wu Chongxun led a dozen or so men out of the hall, asking as he went, "Where are the guards inside the mansion?"

A follower replied, "They're holding them off in the front yard."

Wu Sansi, having a strained relationship with the court officials and knowing he had made many enemies, had long prepared for this. Besides maintaining dozens of
armed followers, he had also deployed over a hundred palace guards as a precaution. Although the Imperial Guards
outnumbered them , it wouldn't be easy for them to storm the mansion all at once.

Wu Chongxun reached the gate, where dozens of the mansion's followers had already drawn their bows and swords, guarding the entrance. Meanwhile,
in the garden in front of the house, shouts of battle erupted, with hundreds of men clashing and yelling. Wu Chongxun stood at the gate
, his brow furrowed. Seeing the perilous situation, he shouted, "With a formidable enemy at our doorstep, we die whether we fight or not.
Let's unite and fight them! The Prince will reward us handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Sansi hurriedly put on his clothes, grabbed his sword, and rushed out. He was startled
when he saw Ye Huli wielding a large sword, slashing and hacking. In just a few moves, he had already cut down four or five guards,
truly unstoppable. He immediately shouted, "You audacious traitor! How dare you trespass into my residence and make an enemy
! Surrender at once!"

Hearing Wu Sansi's words, Ye Huli continued to hack and slash, his voice fierce, "You're about to die,
what's with the show of bravado?"

At this moment, more than a hundred Imperial Guards surged forward, with Crown Prince Li Chongjun leading the charge. They immediately clashed with Ye Huli's
army , and the Prince's guards were overwhelmed, falling one after another.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Wu Sansi and his son realized that disaster was imminent. Wu Sansi said to his attendants, "
If you can help me escape from the palace, I will reward you with one hundred taels of gold."

Hearing this, the attendants' courage surged, and they quickly surrounded the two men, rushing towards the main gate.

Seeing their attempt to escape, Li Chengkuang led dozens of men to intercept them. Ye Huli, a general of the Imperial Guard, was a veteran of countless battles and
possessed extraordinary bravery. Seeing several men fall with a few strokes of his sword, he charged towards Wu Sansi and his men. Although the palace attendants
fought valiantly, they were no match for him, and in no time, most of them were killed.

Wu Sansi and his son, realizing the dire situation, were terrified and turned deathly pale. Li Chongjun rushed forward, pointing his halberd and shouting,
"Someone has accused you and your son of treason! I am here on the Emperor's orders to take your heads! Guards, execute them
!" The Imperial Guards surged forward, and in an instant, the heads of Wu Sansi and his son fell to the ground.

Both sides suffered over a hundred casualties in this battle. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Chongjun led the remaining two hundred Imperial Guards straight to
the palace.

Li Qianli, who was guarding outside the palace, saw Li Chongjun arrive and immediately opened the outer palace gates. The troops roared in
, and the two armies joined forces, charging towards the Forbidden City.

Li Xian, Empress Wei, Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Anle, and others had just finished their banquet when suddenly General
Liu Jingren staggered in, reporting that the Crown Prince had rebelled and had already led his troops into the palace.

As soon as Liu Jingren finished speaking, the sounds of battle could be faintly heard, and everyone froze in shock. Li Xian's body went limp
, and he stammered, "Is...is such a thing true!"

Shangguan Wan'er, being quick-witted, glared at Liu Jingren and said, "There's a saying that an army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one.
As commander of the Imperial Guards, since you know about this, why don't you immediately send troops to resist, instead of coming here to deliver a message?"

Liu Jingren was rebuffed and couldn't utter a single word.

Guo'er quickly interjected, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and mobilize troops to guard Xuanwu Gate
. Also, send someone to immediately inform the Minister of War, Zong Chuke, to come here to protect the Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingren hurried away. Shangguan

Wan'er looked around, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xuanwu Gate is well-defended and the rebels will find it difficult to breach
. I request that Your Majesty and Empress immediately ascend the tower to temporarily avoid the enemy's advance, and at the same time, issue an urgent edict."

Guo'er immediately agreed, praising it repeatedly. Accompanied by several eunuchs, the four of them headed straight for Xuanwu Gate.

As soon as they sat down, Empress Wei immediately erupted in anger, saying, "The Crown Prince's rebellious intentions have been brewing for a long time, and today they have indeed
come true . It's all because of your leniency. If you hadn't made him the Crown Prince and had executed him, would we be facing this predicament today?"

Li Xian was already terrified and didn't listen to her rambling. Suddenly, he saw Liu Jingren come upstairs and hurriedly asked,
"What's the situation? Have you sent troops?"

Liu Jingren said, "I have led a hundred cavalrymen to hold them off inside the gate, but the Crown Prince's forces are too numerous, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Minister of War Zong Chuke, General of the Imperial Guard Ji Chune, Chancellor Li Qiao, and Attendant Yang Zaisi
rushed over at the same time. Li Xian was overjoyed to see them.

The crowd immediately knelt down and said in unison, "We are late in protecting Your Majesty and deserve to die!"

Li Xian praised them repeatedly, and Zong Chuke said, "I have already dispatched a thousand soldiers to protect Your Majesty, so Your Majesty need not worry."

At this moment, Li Duozuo had already led his troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, shouting loudly. Li Xian looked from the upper floor and saw nearly a thousand soldiers
surrounding the gate. He then said to Li Duozuo, "I have always treated you well, so why have you raised an army to rebel?"

Li Duozuo said loudly, "Wu Sansi and others have committed adultery in the Empress's palace. Everyone has witnessed it. Does Your Majesty not know about it?" " We, your subjects, have executed Wu Sansi and his son on
the orders of the Crown Prince. However, the palace has not yet been purged. We beseech Your Majesty to hand over the ringleaders related to Wu Sansi , and we will immediately withdraw our troops and plead guilty." Li Xian was shocked to hear that Wu Sansi and his son had been killed. Empress Wei and Guo'er immediately burst into tears. Li Xian already knew about his wife's affair with Wu Sansi, so he was not surprised. The two women grabbed Li Xian's clothes and wept, saying , "Your Majesty must avenge them." Li Xian simply nodded, seemingly at a loss. Empress Wei continued, "Your Majesty, how can we forget the hardships we faced in Fangzhou? If it weren't for Wu Sansi's help in front of the mother and son, we wouldn't be where we are today. Your Majesty must avenge this." Guo'er added, "Father, let's seize this opportunity to execute this worthless servant and avenge Chongxun." Li Chongjun, seeing his father standing on the gate tower, dismounted and kowtowed, saying, "Father, Shangguan Wan'er seduced Wu Sansi into the palace and forged an imperial edict, deceiving the world. She is the greatest criminal. If Your Majesty cannot bear to part with her, please hand her over so I can deal with her and appease the people." Li Xian, upon hearing this, looked back at Shangguan Wan'er and saw her cheeks flushed red, tears streaming down her face. She knelt and said, " Your Majesty I did not seduce Wu Sansi into the palace. I beg Your Majesty to see the truth. I will die..." " It's not a pity, but the Crown Prince's words are likely a ploy to force me to my death first, then the Empress, and finally the Emperor!" Seeing her delicate appearance, Li Xian's heart softened. He immediately helped her up and said, "How could I not know the situation? How could I hand you over? My beloved consort, please get up quickly. Let's discuss how to deal with the traitor." Shangguan Wan'er stood up, wiped away her tears, and stole a glance at Empress Wei. Empress Wei naturally understood and said , "Wan'er is absolutely right. How can such a rebellious and unfilial person live in this world? Your Majesty must not be soft-hearted ." The atmosphere at Xuanwu Gate was tense. Li Duozuo's Imperial Guards shouted loudly, trying to rush up the gate to capture Shangguan Wan'er, but they were blocked by Liu Jingren and Zong Chuke's guards. At this critical moment, Li Chongjun made a serious mistake. He was afraid of frightening his timid father , the Emperor , and only hoped his father would voluntarily hand over Shangguan Wan'er and the others. He had no intention of leading troops to attack Xuanwu Tower. He only ordered Li Duozuo's Imperial to make a show of force, shouting loudly to create an atmosphere, without actually attacking. More and more reinforcements arrived to protect the Emperor, quickly reaching two thousand men, three times the number of Li Chongjun's Imperial . Yang Sixu, the former Palace Attendant, although a eunuch, enjoyed practicing martial arts and knew a little about swords and staffs. He was fond of seeking credit and rewards, and seeing the increasing reinforcements, he knew his opportunity to curry favor had arrived. Yang Sixu stepped out from the crowd, went straight to Li Xian, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, Li Duozuo has kidnapped the Crown Prince and raised an army to attack the capital. Such a traitorous minister deserves to be punished by everyone. Now that reinforcements have arrived, the rebels number only a few hundred and are not a threat. Although I am not capable, I am willing to lead the Imperial Guards downstairs to fight to the death." Li Xian, seeing someone come out to fight the rebels, immediately smiled and said, "Your willingness to serve shows that you are an upright and loyal minister, but you must be careful on this journey!" Yang Sixu accepted the order and immediately went downstairs to instruct Zong Chuke to mobilize troops. Earlier, Li Qiao and Zong Chuke had both been shocked to hear of the palace coup. One was the prime minister, the other the minister of war ; they were duty-bound to act. They immediately led their troops to the scene. Just as they reached the Xuanwu Gate, the two groups met. During their conversation, they learned that the crown prince was leading a rebellion, with Li Duozuo and others serving him. They were already somewhat , and upon hearing that Wu Sansi and his son had been killed, they were even more terrified. Both men were Wu Sansi's lackeys; how could they not be alarmed? Upon arriving at the Xuanwu Gate and meeting Li Xian, they hastily led their troops to guard the gate, never daring to go out and engage in battle. Hearing that Yang Sixu had volunteered to attack, they were delighted . They immediately assigned a thousand troops to him. Zong Chuke said, "General, be careful. If you cannot hold out, we will immediately send reinforcements." Hearing this, Yang Sixu donned his armor and mounted his horse, secretly amused. He knew Zong Chuke was a coward; he would hesitate even to kill a chicken. Yet now he spoke so boldly. Li Duozuo called out for a long time outside Xuanwu Gate without receiving any reply. Li Duozuo's son-in-law, Yehuli, was an impatient man. Knowing that further delay would be extremely disadvantageous, he immediately took up his spear and charged forward, intending to seize the gate and ascend the tower, but was blocked by Liu Jingren's guards. Just as Yehuli returned to Li Duozuo's side, the tower gate suddenly burst open, and Yang Sixu, wielding a large sword, led his troops out menacingly . Li Chongjun, seeing that he was an official, did not take him seriously. Yang Sixu immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Your Highness Li Chongjun is a traitor! Dismount and surrender!" Li Chongjun was furious and pointed his halberd, cursing, "You audacious eunuch, how dare you utter such arrogant words!" Yehuli came to Li Chongjun's side and said, "Please calm your anger, Your Highness. Let me bring you this eunuch's head !" After saying this, Yehuli leaped onto his horse, sword in hand, and charged into the enemy ranks as if they were empty. Yang Sixu swung his sword and spurred his horse forward, and the two immediately engaged in battle. Yehuli, a brave and skilled warrior, didn't take the eunuch seriously at all . After several exchanges, Yang Sixu was beginning to falter, but having boasted before the emperor, he had no choice but to fight . However, the more he fought, the more he was at a disadvantage, retreating as he fought. Yehuli, unwilling to let up, pressed forward relentlessly. Seeing Yang Sixu with nowhere to retreat, he became smug and swung his sword at Yang Sixu's head, seemingly about to cleave him in two. But halfway through the blow, a streak of blue light shot out, and the front legs of his horse suddenly snapped off. Yehuli was startled and tumbled off the horse's head. Seeing an opportunity, Yang Sixu swung his sword with a "whoosh," striking Yehuli squarely in the face, then followed up with another blow, finishing him off. Yang Sixu steadied himself, muttering to himself, "What a stroke of luck!" Little did he know...

If not for Luo Cha Ye Ji's secret assistance, he would have already met his maker.

Li Xian, seeing Yang Sixu kill Ye Huli from the gate tower, was overjoyed, his worries turning to happiness. He shouted,
"All soldiers, listen up! If you can immediately switch sides and join forces to kill Li Duozuo, I will not pursue the matter, and there will be a great reward!" Hearing this

, the Imperial Guards, seeing they were outnumbered and knew Li Duozuo was unlikely to win
, all prioritized their lives and immediately turned against him. Dozens of Imperial Guards surged forward and killed Li Duozuo. The other generals, attacked from both sides, all died in the chaos
. Only the Crown Prince escaped on horseback.

General Zhao Sishen, ordered to pursue the Crown Prince, sent Li Chongjun with over a hundred cavalry to Zhongnan Mountain. Arriving in western Hubei,
he was left with only a few men. While resting, they suddenly heard the pursuers approaching. Knowing
escape was impossible, his men stabbed Li Chongjun to death, cut off his head, and presented it to Zhao Sishen.
