《Princess Zhaoning's Shudaoshan Ultimatum: The Emperor's Midnight Self-Blame Edict》

《Princess Zhaoning's Shudaoshan Ultimatum: The Emperor's Midnight Self-Blame Edict》 Plot:

In the Great Jing Dynasty, Princess Li Zhaoning was the "Dragon Protection Shield" left by the late emperor to his young son—during a palace coup years ago, she hid her three-year-old brother in a woodpile in the imperial kitchen, using her own back to block an assassin's knife for him. But now, the grown emperor is obsessed with alchemy, turning a blind eye to the starving people in the drought-stricken southwest. Unable to bear it any longer, Zhaoning returns to her fiefdom Shudaoshan with the blood letters of disaster victims, and issues a harsh warning: "If there's no self-blame edict within three days, I'll lead 100,000 iron cavalry to the capital to purge this昏君 (foolish emperor) for the late emperor!" When the on-duty eunuch reports late at night that "the princess's red feather flag is flying in Shudaoshan's barracks," the emperor is so frightened that he smashes his alchemy furnace, trembling as he writes the self-blame edict, admitting to "indulging in sorcery and ignoring the people." The next day, he dismisses the sorcerer and opens granaries to distribute grain. Meanwhile, Princess Zhaoning in Shudaoshan is touching the small glass sword her brother gave her when they were children, smiling softly: "Little Aqi, did you forget? I protected you back then to make you a good emperor, not an emperor who fears me."
