Seeing this, Li Manman felt annoyed.

She grabbed Li Xingchen's shoulders and shook him hard: "Li Xingchen, cheer up! We haven't lost yet, we can't give up like this!"

Li Xingchen was awakened by Li Manman's shaking and shouting. He slowly raised his head, with a look of confusion in his eyes: "Do we still have a chance?"

"Of course!" Li Manman said firmly, "As long as we find a way to escape and find a chance to turn the tables, the throne will still be ours!"

When Li Xingchen heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but soon dimmed again: "Escape? How easy is that?"

"We have to try even if it's not easy!" Li Manman said firmly, "We can't just wait here to die."

The two began to plot their escape, observing the structure of the cell and looking for possible escape routes.

However, the empire's cells were designed extremely tightly, and it was not easy to escape.

However, Li Manman still has a backup plan, and her followers are no pushovers.

"Li Xingchen, you don't have any trusted followers, do you?"

Li Xingchen's eyes flashed when he heard this. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Of course I have my own people, but they are all under surveillance at the moment and cannot act easily."

"Don't worry about that," Li Manman said with a sly smile, "I have a group of loyal men under my command. They are loyal to me and have been acting in secret without being noticed by the royal family. As long as we can contact them, we will have a chance to escape."

After hearing this, Li Xingchen couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He held Li Manman's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes: "Okay, then let's try together. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

The two began to discuss the specific escape plan, repeatedly considering every detail to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

They knew that this might be their last chance, and if they failed, they would face even more severe punishment.

At the same time, the banquet in the palace was still going on vigorously.

The news of Li Ye and Sheng Rao's engagement spread throughout the empire, and people sent their blessings to the newlyweds.

However, amidst this celebratory atmosphere, there was a hint of uneasiness.

The queen sat alone in a corner of the banquet hall, her eyes drifting towards the cell from time to time.

She knew in her heart that although the betrayal of Li Xingchen and Li Manman had cost them a heavy price, the storm was far from over.

She couldn't help but worry about the future of Li Ye and Sheng Rao, and at the same time she felt a little uneasy about the fate of the entire empire.

But at this moment, Li Ye and Sheng Rao seemed to be in another world. They danced hand in hand on the dance floor with happy smiles on their faces.

As the night deepened, the party gradually came to an end.

The guests left one after another, and the palace returned to its former tranquility.

However, behind this tranquility, undercurrents are surging and a bigger storm is brewing.

Li Xingchen and Li Manman spent a long and difficult night in the cell.

They huddled together on the cold stone bed, clinging to each other for warmth.

There was a determined light in Li Xingchen's eyes, and Li Manman held his hand tightly, giving him silent support.

Finally, in the light of dawn, they had the moment to escape.

Li Manman's assassins took great risks and sneaked into the palace prison. Under the guidance of Li Xingchen and Li Manman, they quickly opened the prison door.

"Hurry! We must leave here as soon as possible!" Li Manman urged in a low voice.

Li Xingchen nodded, he took a deep look at the place where he had been imprisoned, and then did not hesitate.

They knew that this was their chance to regain their freedom and their last hope for a comeback.

Under the cover of the assassins, Li Xingchen and Li Manman successfully escaped from the palace.

They traveled through the streets of the empire, carefully avoiding patrolling soldiers.

Their hearts were filled with tension and anticipation, as if every step was walking on the edge of a knife.

Finally, after a thrilling escape, Li Xingchen and Li Manman successfully escaped from the capital of the empire.

They came to a desolate suburb and looked back at the towering imperial city, their hearts filled with complicated emotions.

"We finally escaped." Li Xingchen exclaimed, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen hope for the future.

"Yes, but this is just the beginning." Li Manman took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the freedom of breathing. "What we need to do now is to regroup and get back everything we have lost."

The two smiled at each other, with a gleam in their eyes, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

They began to contact their old subordinates and re-establish a powerful force.

And those soldiers who were once loyal to Li Xingchen and Li Manman also came to join them after learning the news of their escape.

With the efforts of everyone, Li Xingchen and Li Manman quickly formed a powerful army.

They began to fight everywhere and gradually expanded their power.

And their followers are also flocking to them.

In the palace, the king and queen learned that Li Xingchen and Li Manman had escaped from prison.

The king's brows were furrowed, his face livid: "These two traitors were able to escape from the cage. I really underestimated them."

The Queen also looked worried: "Their escape is a huge threat to us. We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Pass the order down, a nationwide wanted list for Li Xingchen and Li Manman, they must be brought to justice!" the king ordered.

As the king's order was passed down, the entire empire was plunged into a tense manhunt.

However, Li Xingchen and Li Manman seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No matter how hard the empire searched, they could not find any trace of them.

At the same time, Li Xingchen and Li Manman's armies were growing in secret.

They used the terrain and buildings to cleverly avoid the empire's pursuit, while constantly absorbing new forces, gradually forming a force that could not be underestimated.

As time went on, the armies of Li Xingchen and Li Manman became stronger and stronger, and were even strong enough to compete with the empire's army.

On this day, Li Xingchen and Li Manman stood on a high ground, looking at the capital of the empire from afar.

"We must take back what we have lost with our own hands." Li Xingchen's eyes revealed a firm determination.

"Father and Mother will definitely regret their decision!"

Li Manman said hatefully, a hint of cruelty flashing across her face.

The two men smiled at each other, ambition and hatred intertwined in their eyes, as if they were going to swallow up the entire empire.

They began to plan their attack on the capital, carefully planning every step to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Relying on his understanding of the imperial palace, Li Xingchen drew a detailed map of the palace, while Li Manman was responsible for mobilizing the troops and formulating tactics.

With the close cooperation of the two, the plan to attack the capital was gradually perfected.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, Li Xingchen and Li Manman led their army and quietly approached the capital of the empire.

They used the terrain and buildings to cleverly avoid patrolling soldiers and reached the outskirts of the palace unimpeded.
