The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Li Jiyun's mansion was heavily guarded, and Li Jimian, under the cover of the guards, quietly sneaked into the mansion. He came to Li Jiyun's study, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open and entered.

In the study, Li Jiyun was sitting at the desk, holding a volume of military tactics in his hand. When he saw Li Jimian barge in, his face changed, but then he regained his composure. He stood up and looked at Li Jimian coldly: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Jimian looked at Li Jiyun, with mixed emotions in his heart. He slowly walked to Li Jiyun and said softly: "Jiyun, we are brothers from the same mother, why did you do this?"

Li Jiyun snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with unwillingness: "Why? Because you are sitting in that position! That position should have belonged to me! I have the same talent and wisdom as you, why can't I become the emperor?"

Li Jimian felt a pang of pain when he heard this. He knew that his brother had always been dissatisfied and jealous of him. He sighed and said slowly: "Jiyun, you are wrong. The throne is not everything. It is just a symbol of responsibility and obligation. As children of the royal family, we should think about the country and the people instead of fighting for personal desires."

Li Jiyun sneered and said disdainfully: "Humph! It's easy for you to say that! You sit in that position, enjoying the glory and power above everyone else, how can you understand my feelings?"

Li Jimian looked at Li Jiyun, feeling helpless and sad. He knew that his brother had been blinded by power and desire. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Jiyun, I understand how you feel. I have also experienced such struggles and confusions. However, I finally chose to give up my personal desires and chose to contribute to the country and the people. I hope you can do the same."

Li Jiyun's face changed when he heard this. He looked at Li Jimian, his eyes flashing with complex light. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Humph! What you said sounds good! But, I can't turn back. I have gathered a large number of forces and am ready to launch a coup. Even if you talk nonsense, you can't change my determination!"

Li Jimian looked at Li Jiyun, and a surge of grief and indignation surged in his heart. He knew that his brother had completely fallen into the quagmire of power and desire. He took a deep breath and then slowly said: "Jiyun, what you are doing will only bring the country and the people into greater disaster. I hope you can think twice before you act."

Li Jiyun snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Humph! You don't need to persuade me anymore! I have made up my mind! Today, I will seize the throne that belongs to me!"

After that, Li Jiyun waved his hand to signal the guards to come forward and grab Li Jimian. However, at this moment, a crisp snap of fingers sounded, and Li Jiyun's guards suddenly fell to the ground. It turned out that Li Jimian had secretly arranged for his trusted guards to wait outside, and they would rush in to rescue the emperor with just a snap of fingers.

Li Jiyun's face changed drastically when he saw this. He had never thought that Li Jimian would have such a trick up his sleeve. He glared at Li Jimian and shouted, "You! You actually plotted against me!"

Li Jimian looked at Li Jiyun, his eyes flashing with pain. He said slowly: "Jiyun, I didn't plot against you. I just hope you can turn back and stop making the same mistake again."

Hearing this, Li Jiyun burst into laughter. His laughter was mad and shrill, as if he wanted to pour out all his resentment and anger. He pointed at Li Jimian and shouted, "It's time to turn back? Haha! You're right! But I can't turn back anymore! Today, I will show you that I, Li Jiyun, am also capable of seizing the throne!"

After saying that, Li Jiyun swung his sword and stabbed at Li Jimian. Li Jimian saw this and quickly dodged. He knew that he couldn't fight Li Jiyun head-on, otherwise it would only make the situation worse. While dodging Li Jiyun's attack, he tried to persuade him with words.

"Jiyun! Calm down! What you are doing will only make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy! Can you bear to see our family split apart because of internal strife? Can you bear to see our country fall into turmoil because of civil war?" Li Jimian shouted while dodging Li Jiyun's attack.

However, Li Jiyun seemed to have fallen into madness. He brandished his sword and stabbed Li Jimian continuously. Although Li Jimian was very skilled, he gradually felt a little powerless under such a crazy attack.

At this moment, a clear sound of piano suddenly sounded. This sound was melodious and ethereal, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. When Li Jiyun heard this sound, he was suddenly stunned. He seemed to be attracted by this sound and forgot to continue attacking Li Jimian.

Li Jimian also took the opportunity to stop. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in plain clothes sitting in the corner of the study, playing a guqin softly. The woman had a pretty face and elegant temperament, as if she was not of this world.

"Who are you?" Li Jiyun was stunned for a moment, then asked.
