The emperor was now completely immersed in the beautiful dream of wiping out the Xuantian Gang in one fell swoop. Even in his sleep, he had a smile on his face, as if he had seen the dawn of victory and the scene of unifying the world.

However, at this moment, the emperor was suddenly awakened by an inexplicable heart palpitation. He sat up, cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart was full of uneasiness and doubt. It felt like something bad was about to happen, but he couldn't be sure what it was.

The emperor could no longer sleep, and he always felt that this ominous feeling was getting stronger. So he decided to take action just in case. In the middle of the night, he urgently summoned another general of the same rank as Pang Zhuo and ordered him to come to the palace immediately to see him.

The general did not dare to neglect the order and rushed to the palace. When he entered the emperor's bedroom, he saw the emperor sitting there with a serious face, and he could not help but feel nervous.

"Lord Wei, can I trust you?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul!" Wei Li immediately knelt on the ground to express his loyalty.

He was one of the few loyal ministers in the court, but he had always been excluded by the prime minister and was not valued by the emperor. Although he was at the same level as Pang Zhuo, he had less than two thousand soldiers, and they were all not very elite troops. Occasionally, some insignificant things might be remembered by the emperor.

Just like this time.

"Then I believe you! The rebellion of Xuantian Gang this time cannot be underestimated, and they were able to instigate Pang Zhuo to rebel. Their crime is unforgivable! The border troops I have sent out and Yehen's guards are enough to wipe them out, but I have another plan. To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. If you can eliminate the leader of Xuantian Gang and His Highness Jueming, it will be a great achievement! I will appoint you as the general, and the title will be hereditary for generations!"

Wei Li was stunned for a moment, but still agreed.

"Also, you must have heard the recent rumor that the late Prince Meng Yuan is not dead. The person who spread this rumor has ulterior motives. I have already found out that it was done by a man named Yu Chengfeng from the Xuantian Gang. If we can capture this man alive, it would be even better!"

Wei Li looked at the people in the portrait and frowned. The leader of Xuantian Gang turned out to be the former princess? Wasn't the former princess burned to death?

"Du Ran, the former princess consort, is not dead at all. She faked her death in an attempt to deceive me. It seems she has been planning this for a long time! She must die!" The emperor's eyes widened in anger.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best!"

"A fight of brute force is not advisable. You just need to find a way to get rid of a few people." The emperor's hint was very clear. He wanted Wei Li to use some inferior means to launch a sneak attack on the Xuantian Gang.

Although Wei Li had always despised this kind of behavior, since the emperor had said so, he did not dare to disobey. He had no choice but to agree and then started the action under the cover of night.

When the soldiers led by Pang Zhuo met with the soldiers led by Han Xuan, the frontier general appointed by the emperor, the expected bloody storm did not occur. Instead, they seemed to be in a harmonious atmosphere. How could there be any sign of war?

The news soon reached the palace.

The emperor was shocked, he had not expected that the power of the Xuantian Gang could actually infiltrate the border. He felt the world spinning around him, and after finally steadying himself, he ordered with trembling fingers to all the border soldiers to withdraw and attack the Xuantian Gang together!

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this!" The ministers below began to advise the emperor again, but the emperor would not listen to anything now. He only wanted to destroy the Xuantian Gang and kill Du Ran and Yu Chengfeng.

When he placed all his hopes on Ye Hen's palace guards, he also received the bad news that Ye Hen had also defected to the Xuantian Gang. This was like adding insult to injury. The emperor swayed and completely collapsed on the dragon throne.

It seems that the Yunsha Dynasty is really going to change.

The ministers in the court no longer whispered to each other, but stood quietly in their places. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Du Ran and his men had not expected that this rebellion would be so successful. It seemed that the unpopular Yunsha Dynasty was doomed. The wheel of history was really rolling forward! No one could hold it back.

Next, they would go to the palace. Taking over the palace would mean a real victory.

Since ancient times, those who stole a hook were punished, and those who stole a country became princes.

Du Ran rubbed his hands, still a little nervous!

After all, she is going to be the emperor. Just think about it, how can she not be excited!

Yu Chengfeng's arrival interrupted Du Ran's fantasy.

"Du Ran, we are about to go to the palace, so we still need to agree on some things in advance." Yu Chengfeng said bluntly.

Du Ran nodded: "What's the matter?"

"This throne of the emperor..."

"Of course it's me!" Du Ran didn't even think about it.

Yu Chengfeng stared in disbelief: "You? A mere woman!"

"Shut up! What do you mean by a woman? If it weren't for me, how could your paper-made Xuantian Gang be what it is today?! If it weren't for me, could you have taken down the Yunsha Dynasty so easily without losing a single soldier?! If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago, and you still have the chance to talk to me here! Please organize your words before you speak next time, and don't anger others to death as soon as you open your mouth!" Du Ran was really angry.

Yu Chengfeng was speechless and quickly apologized: "I used the wrong words, I apologize to you, but the throne must be held by me!"

"Why?" Du Ran slammed the table to express his dissatisfaction.

"Because I am a prince and the only son of the late emperor! The throne must be mine!" Yu Chengfeng was not to be outdone.

"Don't bring up your status as a prince. Even if the late emperor were still alive today, I would be able to rebel against him. What do you mean you are the Son of Heaven? I fought for this kingdom, so why can't I be the emperor? I tell you, Yu Chengfeng, I have to sit on the throne whether I want to or not! I want to be the first female emperor!" Du Ran held his head high and chest out, not giving in at all.

There was murderous intent in Yu Chengfeng's eyes, but Mu Zhou and Liu Xihua, who came later, also stood behind Du Ran to show their support. Yu Chengfeng clenched his fists and said nothing more.

"It's really interesting that you're still trying to snatch the throne from me at this time! Do you two support me becoming the emperor?" Du Ran looked at the two people behind him.

"Boss! I must support you!" Liu Xihua quickly expressed his opinion.

"Let me make it clear first, you don't have a harem!" Mu Zhou took precautions.

Du Ran curled his lips deliberately: "Ah? The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, why can't I have them too?"

"You can try!" Mu Zhou's oppressive words made Du Ran shrug her shoulders, indicating that she already knew.

"Boss, now that I have supported you so much, what kind of official position will you assign to me when the time comes?" Liu Xihua came over and smiled flatteringly.

Du Ran's eyes turned: "Director of the Imperial Hospital!"

"Ah?" Liu Xihua was shocked and disappointed.

"Doctor Liu? Unsatisfied?" Du Ran asked back.

"It's not that I'm not satisfied, it's just that... I'm not only an expert in medicine, but also resourceful and can handle things with ease. I can even serve as the prime minister!" Liu Xihua recommended himself with a smile.

Du Ran suddenly realized that he wanted to be the prime minister? !
