Deep in the magnificent palace, Empress Xie Chaochao sat on a phoenix chair, wearing a luxurious palace dress that set off her gentle and resolute face. In the court, all the ministers stood in awe, the atmosphere was solemn, as if even the air had frozen. Recently, there had been wars on the border, and reports of war were coming in frequently. However, when it came to whether to send troops to quell the rebellion immediately, Empress Xie Chaochao's voice flowed slowly in everyone's heart like a clear spring.

"My dear ministers, I think it is not appropriate to start a war right now." Xie Chaochao's voice was soft, but it was full of unquestionable power. Her eyes swept over every minister, and her eyes seemed to contain deep wisdom and compassion. The ministers were stunned at first, and then nodded one after another, thinking that the queen's words were very reasonable. After all, after years of war, the treasury was empty and the people were exhausted, it was not appropriate to add to the war.

"Then, Madam, do you have any good ideas on how to deal with the people on the border?" An old official with white hair and beard trembled slightly, obviously very concerned about this matter. In the court, everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Chaochao, hoping that her wisdom could illuminate this thorny road.

Xie Chaochao gently stroked her sleeves and pondered for a moment, her expression seemed to be weighing thousands of thoughts, and seemed to be recalling the peaceful days of the past. "This matter needs careful consideration." Her voice was gentle and firm, as if she was telling herself and everyone else that this was not just a decision, but also a responsibility and a commitment to the people of the world.

Then, Xie Chaochao slowly stood up, her sleeves fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth. Her figure stretched out in the candlelight, appearing even more noble and inviolable. "I will personally look through ancient books to find examples of peace in history. I will also send spies to gain a deeper understanding of the people's sentiments and demands on the other side of the border. Perhaps, peace is the only way to resolve this conflict and bring peace to the world."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the inner hall, leaving the room in silence and expectation. The ministers looked at each other, surprised at the queen's foresight and full of expectations for the actions she was about to take. And the queen, Xie Chaochao, was in her bedroom, reading by lamplight, her figure swaying in the candlelight, as if she was writing a legend about wisdom and peace.

This battle between war and peace has quietly taken a turn because of a word from Queen Xie Chaochao. A journey of peace full of unknowns and challenges is quietly beginning, making people hold their breath and eager to witness how this historic choice changes the destiny of a country, inspiring readers' endless imagination and reading interest.

As the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the carved window lattices, dappling the magnificent palace, an undercurrent of power quietly subsided. All the ministers retreated like the tide, leaving only a series of footsteps echoing in the empty hall and the lingering tense atmosphere. Emperor Chu Heng, a monarch with a sense of majesty and a bit of unruliness, sat alone on the dragon throne, gently resting his chin with both hands, his eyes deep and complex, as if he could see into the darkest corners of people's hearts.

His eyes passed through the empty hall and finally fixed on Empress Xie Chaochao. Xie Chaochao, a gentle yet tenacious woman, was dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe and a hairpin with eight-treasure beads. She sat on the side with a calm face, but her eyes flashed with an imperceptible firm light. Her beauty was not in her stunning beauty, but in the calmness and wisdom that radiated from the inside out.

"Empress," Chu Heng's voice was low and magnetic, breaking the silence in the palace, "At this moment, all the ministers have left. I want to hear your true thoughts. What do you think about today's events?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Chaochao bowed slightly to show respect to the emperor, and then slowly spoke in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, I do have something in my mind. Recently, the court has been in turmoil, and those names mentioned, whether loyal or treacherous, are closely related to the fate of our court. Although I am in the harem, I also care about the world. I hope to see these people with my own eyes and listen to their voices, perhaps I can share some of your worries."

At this point, Xie Chaochao's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible worry. She knew that this was not just a simple meeting, but also an attempt by her as the queen to find her place in this power game. She longed to understand this complex world in her own way and to touch the truth hidden deep in the court.

After hearing this, Chu Heng's eyes flashed with surprise, which then turned into admiration. He knew very well that his queen was not an ordinary woman, she had extraordinary wisdom and courage. Looking at Xie Chaochao's determined eyes, Chu Heng's heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion, trust in the queen, as well as curiosity and expectation for everything that might happen in the future.

"Okay, since the Queen has this intention, I will certainly fulfill it." Chu Heng's voice was filled with unquestionable determination, "Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to meet those people. I hope you can gain something from it, and bring more light and hope to me and the world."

As Chu Heng finished speaking, the hall regained its calm, but the air was filled with an unprecedented tension and expectation. A contest of power, wisdom, and emotion was quietly beginning, and Empress Xie Chaochao was the most crucial part of this drama.

In the magnificent and majestic imperial city, the afterglow of the setting sun lazily sprinkled on the glazed tiles, coating this palace where power and glory are intertwined with a layer of soft and mysterious brilliance. Emperor Chu Heng, a monarch with a dragon-like gait and unquestionable majesty between his eyebrows, was sitting on the dragon throne at this moment, gently playing with a string of crystal clear jade beads in his hands, with deep eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world.

Empress Xie Chaochao, wearing a gorgeous phoenix gown, with her skirt trailing like the most gorgeous clouds in the sky, walked into the hall. Her face was gentle but firm, and her eyes were shining with a light that should not be underestimated. She spoke slowly, her voice was crisp and pleasant, but with a firmness that could not be ignored: "Your Majesty, I am willing to personally deal with those traitors who intend to subvert the government to calm the people's hearts."

Chu Heng frowned slightly when he heard this, and a trace of barely perceptible worry and tenderness flashed in his deep eyes. He gently put down the jade bead in his hand, and his tone was full of unquestionable determination: "Chao Chao, how could I not know your feelings? But you are a royal family with a noble status, how can you easily take risks? Those people are cunning and cruel, and their methods are vicious, how can I put you in danger? I know how to handle this matter, and you don't need to say more."
