On the day of the banquet, Du Yunsheng wore a dark blue wide-sleeved flowing skirt with exquisite landscape paintings embroidered on it, and a golden hairpin with pearls on her head. She walked lightly like a lotus in the water. She personally greeted every guest, and her words and deeds were appropriate and polite, which made everyone admire her.

Dongfang Zhuge brought several important clan members to the banquet hall. Seeing Du Yunsheng's hospitality, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that as long as Du Yunsheng was still there, the Dongfang family would not have to worry about having no support.

The banquet began. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan sat in the main seats together. Jiang Shaohan was dressed in black with a golden unicorn embroidered on it and a purple gold crown on his head. His face was cold, but his eyes revealed a hint of warmth, which was the tenderness that only appeared when he saw Du Yunsheng.

During the banquet, Du Yunsheng kept talking to people. Her words were witty and humorous, filling the entire banquet hall with laughter.

Jiang Shaohan sat aside, observing all this quietly, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction.

However, when the banquet was halfway through, a man in a black cloak suddenly broke into the banquet hall, pointing the long sword in his hand at Du Yunsheng, and shouted: "Du Yunsheng, you traitor who sells out your country for fame and fortune, I will eliminate this harm for the people of Western Wei!"

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan stood up instantly. Jiang Shaohan quickly drew the sword from his waist and stood in front of Du Yunsheng.

Du Yunsheng saw that the situation was critical, but she did not panic. She calmly said to Jiang Shaohan: "Shaohan, don't hurt him. I will deal with this person."

Although Jiang Shaohan was worried, when he saw Du Yunsheng's determined eyes, he nodded and put away the sword in his hand.

Du Yunsheng walked up to the man in black and said calmly, "Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?"

The man in black was shocked to see Du Yunsheng so calm. He said sternly, "You don't need to know who I am. Your fate is doomed to destruction!"

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Then do you know that your fate will not be good either?"

The man in black was stunned, and Du Yunsheng took the opportunity to ask, "Who is the person behind you? What benefit did he give you to make you work so hard for him?"

The man in black showed a hint of hesitation, but soon he made up his mind and said loudly: "The person behind me is..."

However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then lost consciousness.

Du Yunsheng looked at the man in black who fell to the ground and said calmly, "It seems that he doesn't want you to reveal the person behind you."

Jiang Shaohan came over and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Du Yunsheng smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, this person is just a pawn, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it."

Jiang Shaohan nodded, his eyes full of determination: "Then let's uncover this conspiracy together and protect our Western Wei and our family."

Du Yunsheng smiled and nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "Yes, we will succeed."

At the same time, Gu Wenhan found Qiao Qinghan and told her that Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan were facing a difficult problem and hoped that she could help.

Qiao Qinghan frowned when he heard this: "Master Gu, may I ask what problems the Crown Princess and Crown Prince Jiang encountered?"

Gu Wenhan sighed: "Miss Qiao, you also know that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince have been working hard to maintain stability, but now the power of the Dongfang family is growing stronger and stronger, which makes them feel pressured. So they hope you can help them."

Qiao Qinghan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Since this is a big deal, I will naturally do my best to help. Sir Gu, please tell me, how can I help them?"

Gu Wenhan's eyes flashed with admiration: "Miss Qiao, you are so sensible, it is really admirable. I will take you to meet the Crown Princess and Crown Prince Jiang, and you will discuss the specific strategy with them."

Qiao Qinghan nodded and followed Gu Wenhan to Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan's residence.

On this day, Du Yunsheng was handling government affairs when suddenly a secret envoy dressed in black hurried in, holding an urgent document in his hand. His face was pale, and it was obvious that he had been on the road for a long time.

Du Yunsheng took the document and looked at it, his face suddenly became solemn. The document said that enemy troops were gathering in the south, and there seemed to be signs of invasion.

Du Yunsheng knew that this was undoubtedly a huge challenge and she had to respond as soon as possible.

She stood up and said to the maid beside her: "Pass the order to hold an emergency court meeting."

Then, she said to the emissary, "You have worked hard. Go and have a rest first."

The emissary nodded and retreated wearily.

Du Yunsheng stood there, looking at the sky outside the window, his heart full of worry.

No matter what the outcome of this war is, it will have a profound impact on the Western Wei Dynasty and the people.

However, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, she must persevere.

Because, she is Du Yunsheng, and she must protect her Western Wei and the people from harm.

One day, Dongfang Zhuge, a wise man of the Dongfang family, came to the Zhengxi General's Mansion again. This time, he was not a visitor, but came with a bit of humility and pleading. Facing Du Yunsheng, he said sincerely: "Princess, your wisdom and skills are admired by our Dongfang family. Although our family is growing stronger now, we still need your support and care in the changing times."

Du Yunsheng sat in the exquisite courtyard, the autumn sun shining through the leaves onto her body. She stood straight and smiled at Dongfang Zhuge's request. That smile showed both deep scheming and tolerance and understanding for the person in front of her: "Master Dongfang, you are too kind. We are interdependent. As long as it is beneficial to the Western Wei, I will do my best."

Dongfang Zhuge was filled with gratitude when he heard this.

However, when the night fell and the lights came on, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan were alone in a room, and both of them looked solemn. They knew that the growth of the Dongfang family was not a threat, but they had to prevent it from happening.

"Shao Han, what do you think of Dongfang Zhuge's intention?" Du Yunsheng said in a low voice.

Jiang Shaohan's eyes were like torches. He had already gone over it again and again in his mind: "Yun Sheng, the power of the Dongfang family is indeed not to be underestimated, but we can secretly strengthen our monitoring of it. At the same time, we must also find allies to balance the situation."

At this moment, Gu Wenhan came hurriedly, his face showing some anxiety.

He went straight to Qiao Qinghan and said hurriedly: "Miss Qiao, the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are facing some difficulties now, and they need your help."

Qiao Qinghan looked solemn when she heard this. She knew that this was not only a challenge to Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan, but also a test for the entire Western Wei. She pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Master Gu, please tell the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince that Qiao will do her best."

The sun shone through the exquisite hollow window lattices and sprinkled into the inner hall with carved beams and painted buildings. In the hall, Du Yunsheng, the princess consort, and Jiang Shaohan, the prince, were having a secret conversation with some of their trusted aides. The atmosphere was tense and solemn.
