Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Lu Yuan was not someone to be driven by emotions. He paused briefly, then left Zhuanghe Hall with a stern face.


At that moment, everyone was gathered outside the hall, discussing intensely about the Supreme Emperor's illness.


The epidemic was highly contagious and incurable, causing a sense of panic among the crowd.


Zong Zhengxi was also anxious, but not for fear of contracting the disease himself, rather for the safety of his father.


Prime Minister Xun and Lady Yan were among the few whose expressions remained unchanged.


Lu Yuan approached Prime Minister Xun, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Does the Prime Minister have any instructions?"


Without waiting for Prime Minister Xun to answer, he immediately continued, "If not, I will assist Your Majesty in handling the epidemic."


This was the first time Lu Yuan had openly vied for power with Prime Minister Xun, both privately and publicly.
