After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

It is late autumn and October has arrived. This is the beautiful time when osmanthus flowers bloom and the fragrance is everywhere.

However, the rich fragrance of osmanthus seemed to provide the perfect cover for the inevitable blood and killing, making this originally peaceful and beautiful season an opportunity for murder and arson.

The sweet scent of osmanthus that filled the whole city seemed to be able to easily cover up the smoke and blood of the war.

After visiting the seriously ill Concubine Yun, Li Shiliu embarked on her journey home with a heavy heart and finally returned to Tong Mansion.

During this period, the city of Yuanjing was very peaceful, like a stagnant pool of water. Even those dandy young men who usually liked to ride horses and parade through the streets quietly huddled at home, as if they had instinctively smelled danger.

Li Shiliu sat quietly in the house, gazing at the swaying osmanthus tree outside the window, secretly thinking about the impending storm in her heart.

The current emperor, the Jiade Emperor, has been dissatisfied with the five great families for many years. They have a complex network of connections and great power in the court, and their long-term existence has already made the Jiade Emperor tired of it.

Although the emperor, who was over fifty years old, had not yet decided on the candidate for the crown prince, he was determined to eliminate the five major families, which were a thorn in his side, during his reign, relying on his outstanding talents and clever means, so as to pass on a relatively clean and honest court to his successor. This idea was reasonable.

To achieve this goal, Emperor Jiade has been planning carefully for more than ten years, taking every step carefully. Now, everything is ready, the east wind has arrived, and it is finally the critical moment for him to completely reveal his trump card and confront the five great families head-on.

Today, a grand full-moon banquet was held in the palace for the twenty-seventh prince born to Concubine Lu.

Surprisingly, Emperor Jiade, who had many children, did not invite other court officials and dignitaries to celebrate this time, but only sent invitations to the five major families.

Let’s talk about Concubine Lu. She was born into one of the five most famous families - the Lu family!

Now that a prince with aristocratic blood has been born, its importance and significance to the entire five major families is of extraordinary importance.

However, Emperor Jiade was indifferent to whether the heads of the five great families came sincerely. The only thing he wanted was to make sure that none of the heads of the five great families were absent.

On this day, Li Shiliu stayed quietly in Tong Mansion and did not go to the palace to join in the fun. She sat there quietly, patiently waiting for the spies from Tencent to pass on the news.

Night fell quietly, and the autumn night became cooler. At this time, the sky had already turned completely dark.

"My Lady, this autumn night is very cold and it's already dark. You should put on more clothes."

The maid Zhenzhu walked in quietly, holding a thin but very warm coat in her hands.

Li Shiliu did not object and continued to stare silently in the direction of the imperial palace outside the window.

When the coat was gently draped over her shoulders, a warm feeling instantly enveloped her whole body. At this time, Li Shiliu just reached out to gather her clothes and asked softly: "I wonder how the action plan is going today? Has anyone from Tencent sent any news?"

Pearl shook her head and replied, "My Lord, there is no news yet."

"I was a little impatient. Without the emperor's permission, the news in the palace would not be easily leaked.

If someone from Tencent sent the news, it must be a done deal.”

"Princess, look, there's a fire in the palace..."
