Time flies and the four seasons come and go. It is spring again and the palace, with its colorful flowers, becomes bustling with activity.

"Sui Sui, don't run around..."

A chubby little girl bumped into Shangguan Wan's arms, looked up at her and said sweetly, "Beautiful sister..."

"You should call me auntie..." Shangguan Wan picked her up and said, "This is our little princess of Xiangchu, right?"

On the side is Lu Chengyuan. He and Shangguan Wan went to Muye together and faced conspiracies and intrigues together. In the process of retaking Muye together, they fell in love with each other. In the end, they got married, and their daughter is one year younger than the princess.

This day was a particularly lively but also tiring day for the three-year-old Suisui.

Someone who claimed to be her uncle hugged her, someone pinched her face and asked her to call him uncle, and an elder sister with white hair and beauty like a fairy gave her an ice lotus.

Finally she hid in her father's arms and fell asleep with a pile of new gifts.

But Shen Zhaoyan was heartbroken and quickly carried her back to the room to sleep.

The palace was indeed bustling with activity. Two months ago, she had sent messages by carrier pigeons, or had people ride horses at full speed, or had secret guards use various other methods to spread the news.

And those who received the message would come to keep her appointment no matter how far away they were.

Three years have passed since Suisui was born. During these three years, Xiang and Chu have become increasingly powerful, while Xiling has been plagued by constant war and unrest, and the imperial court can be said to be on its last legs.

Years have passed, and Jing Yu is still as gorgeous as ever. He fanned himself and watched the fun, saying, "Are you finally going to attack Shengjing? I've been waiting for this fun for a long time."

Gu Xingchen said calmly, "In fact, I thought you should have taken action earlier, but you are only preparing to take action now, which is much later than I expected."

She pointed to the location of Shengjing on the map with a stick. "Because the people are essentially innocent, I don't want to cause too many casualties. I want to take over the entire Xiling with the least damage."

So she has been planning for the past three years. The Gu family was wiped out in the past, but the Gu family is a noble family that has lasted for several generations, and the relationships are complicated.

The so-called network of relationships and connections, old acquaintances and old subordinates, have always been there.

Before, they didn't dare to show up under the imperial power, but now Xiangchu is strong and she has returned. In addition, Xiling is in turmoil, and many people have secretly surrendered to them.

In addition to the connections of the Zhennan Palace in the Xiling officialdom, Lin Ran has been secretly operating in Shengjing over the years. The net has been laid, and she just needs to close it.

"So, was Xiao Linfeng's home stolen by you?" Shangguan Wan said bluntly.

"I decided to send troops to Xiling because I received a piece of news recently." She smiled but her eyes did not reach the bottom of her eyes. "Xiao Linfeng's situation is not optimistic. I will go and take his orders personally."

After Shen Zhaoyan coaxed his daughter in, he added, "Although Xiling has been in turmoil for the past few years since he took office, he has a ruthless style and can suppress it with an iron fist. If he dies, Xiling will inevitably be in chaos."

By then, there will be chaos and all those who have ideas about the dragon throne will jump out. It will be too chaotic and not a good thing for them.

Having been planning for so long, it is natural that we have to close the net smoothly.

She sneered, "He has secured the title of the king who lost his country."

When they had almost finished talking, Bing Tong, who had been sitting beside them, spoke up, "Will Yandi be taken down as well this time?"

In fact, at one point she wanted to go to Yan alone and kill Helian Mu directly.

But Ye Qingjiu disagreed, saying it was too risky, so the plan was never implemented.

She smiled and said, "Perhaps I don't need to take action in Yandi. The situation over there is very interesting. Just wait and see..."

Bingtong has traveled to many places in the past few years with Ye Qingjiu's company, and her mood has become much calmer. "I don't necessarily have to kill him myself, but he must die."

We chatted until dark. It was the first time we had gathered together in three years, so of course we had to get drunk.

Sui Sui woke up and sat on Shen Zhaoyan's lap, looking at everyone with her big eyes without any shyness, "There are so many beautiful brothers and sisters in our house today."

"Don't call me random names, otherwise the order of seniority will be messed up." Jing Yu said with a smile, "Call me uncle, I have prepared something fun for you."

Hua Yan smiled and said, "Our little princess has liked beautiful things and people since she was young."

"I think this habit of judging by appearance is inherited from someone." Shen Zhaoyan said coldly, "Someone is always very tolerant of good-looking people."

Jiang Xue Ning drank a glass of wine and said calmly, "Of course I like good-looking ones, otherwise, do I like ugly ones?"

After all, he was a child. After playing for a while, he soon became exhausted and was carried away by Qinghe to sleep.

Their drinking party had just begun, and Bai Yu couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Didn't the young lady from the Jin family come with you?"

They had all heard about the story of the young lady from the Jin family, who was chasing Jing Yu with a whip. It was said that it was a routine of giving a candy after a whip.

His brows softened unconsciously, but he said arrogantly, "With her temper, I don't want her to follow me."

After three rounds of drinks, everyone was a little drunk and talked about their experiences over the past three years.

The new king of Fusang naturally experienced a lot of open and secret struggles when he came to the throne. The one who finally succeeded was Nangong Mo's elder brother. He said proudly, "This king can walk sideways in Fusang now." So this time, he also followed Gu Xingchen to join in the fun.

Gu Xingchen brought a beautiful and charming red spider lily from Wangchuan. Leng Wuhan still stayed in Wangchuan to watch the sunrise and sunset, never stepping out of Wangchuan.

Bingtong also talked about some of the strange people and things they encountered when they visited fantastic places.

Jiang Xue Ning listened to their experiences quietly and felt that these three years were very good. Everyone had experienced a lot and grown a lot.

She raised her glass and said, "To the past three years. I'm glad you all showed up to celebrate this great occasion with me."

"This time the great cause will be accomplished."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank happily. Under the bright lights, everyone had a smile on their face.

No matter what the past was like or what the pain was, three years is enough to heal a lot.

When the show finally ended, as expected, almost everyone was drunk.

Jiang Xue Ning was six parts drunk and four parts sober. Shen Zhaoyan carried him on his back on the way back to the room. "You are particularly happy tonight."

She leaned on his back and felt the breeze. "Although I have lost a lot, I am strong enough to no longer be afraid of losing. But today, three years later, I have not lost anyone. It is hard for me to be unhappy."

This time there was no betrayal, no death, no knife-drawing. She sent a message and they all came.

Bring your best self to join in the celebration and help her accomplish her mission to take over Xiling.

For her, this is the best time, and all the hurts of the past have been erased and turned into dust.

She knew that she was loved, loved by different people under different names.

Family, friendship, love, close friends...now, many years later, she has them all back.

The soul that was betrayed and hurt all over by the joint efforts back then finally felt relieved.
