Ms.Murong Standing in front of the furnace, her palms were already soaked with cold sweat. She took a deep breath and placed the gold into the furnace. Then, she picked up the copper rod and began to carefully stir.
The atmosphere in the square became unusually tense. All eyes were focused on Ms.Murong, hoping for her success.
Time passes by minute by minute. The forehead of the Ms.Murong is already covered in fine sweat, but her eyes are filled with determination and perseverance.
Her hands keep stirring, the movements slow and steady, without any panic. There is no greed or anxiety in her heart, only tranquility and determination.
" Ms.Murong, you will definitely succeed," a maid comforted Ms.Murong in a soft voice.
Murong Yao smiled slightly, her eyes shining with determination. She poured Golden liquid into the mold again, and this time, she succeeded.
A complete golden figure slowly rose from the furnace.
Seeing this scene, the entire square erupted in cheers and applause. The Ms.Murong succeeded; she passed this ceremony.
Murong Yao showed a faint smile on his face, while the Liu looked pale, with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.
"How is this possible?" the Liu trembled as she spoke, filled with disappointment and anger in her heart.
Tuoba Gui stood at a high place, a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
According to the rules, Ms.Murong will become the queen. He also believes in the result of the mandate of heaven, so Murong Yao will soon be crowned as the queen.
However, in the midst of this festive atmosphere, a pair of eyes coldly watch everything in the dark.
These eyes belong to the Liu. There is a faint smile on her face, but her heart is filled with gloom and unwillingness.
" Ms.Murong, you have only temporarily defeated me. This struggle is far from over," the Liu vowed silently in her heart, a hint of determination and ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
On this day, it was an important day for Northern Wei. The new empress ascended to the throne, symbolizing the stability and prosperity of the country.
And Murong Yao, this newly appointed empress, gradually established her position in the palace with her wisdom and composure.
She doesn't have many ambitions, only wanting to protect herself and her mother, and live a peaceful life.
In the palace of Northern Wei, there is a subtle atmosphere pervading. Every corner of the palace, behind every screen, around every corridor, seems to hide countless secrets and conspiracies.
The people here, every glance, every word, every action, could become a crucial factor in changing the situation.
Mrs. Liu, a young and prestigious woman, is sitting in her own chamber.
Her eyes are shining with intelligence, and she is holding a delicate emerald hairpin. Her palace is decorated extremely gorgeously, with every inch of space exuding the undeniable power of the palace.
Mrs. Liu is feeling unsettled. Her eldest son Tuoba Si is the future star of the palace, but she herself has lost the chance to become the queen due to an ancient rule.
Madam He and Queen Consort each have a young son, Tuoba Shao and Tuoba Xi.
Although they hold prestigious positions, they have always been at a disadvantage in the power struggles within the palace.
Meanwhile, Madam Wang and Madam Duan each have a one-year-old son Tuoba Yao and newborn twins Tuoba Li and Tuoba Lian.
Their status in the palace, while not low, is also not the highest.
Murong Yao, this young woman entered the palace as a captive.
Although her beauty and gentleness quickly captivated the heart of Emperor Tuoba Gui, due to her background, she found herself isolated in the palace and her position was precarious, especially since she had not been able to bear children. However, she passed the test of casting a bronze figure by hand, and before long, she was to be crowned as the empress.
On this day, the atmosphere in the palace seemed even more tense. Mrs. Liu sat in her chamber, her mind in turmoil. In her eyes, there was a hint of anxiety at times, and at other times, determination. But she knew she had to do something to turn the situation around.
"Madam, Madam He and Queen Consort are here to visit," a maid reported respectfully.
Mrs. Liu nodded slightly, indicating for them to come in. Madam He and Queen Consort walked in, their faces showing a subtle and barely noticeable tension.
" Madam He, we heard that Murong Yao is about to be crowned as the empress." Madam He bit her lip, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Mrs. Liu felt a sinking feeling in her heart, knowing full well what this meant. She slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the palace, her heart filled with complex emotions.
"This palace has always been a battlefield of power," Mrs. Liu said lightly, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness. "Each one of us is just a pawn in it."
The Queen Consort tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "But we cannot just sit and wait for our fate. Sister Liu, we must do something."
Mrs. Liu turned around and looked at them. In her eyes, there was a kind of determination that had never been seen before. "Yes, we cannot just sit and wait for death. We must protect our children."
The situation in the palace is like a taut string, ready to be triggered at any moment. Everyone is walking on this dangerous land with extreme caution.
Murong Yao Sitting alone in her palace, although she was about to be crowned as the queen, there was no joy in her heart. She deeply understood the saying "accompanying the ruler is like accompanying a tiger," and knew that her position in the palace was not yet secure enough.
However, she did not come for this matter. After securing the position of the queen, she can focus on her own plans.
In three days, I will be crowned as the queen. Although Murong Yao feels a bit nervous, she is more filled with a strange sense of anticipation.
She knows that this is not just an honor, but also a burden, requiring her to maintain her true self in the whirlpool of power, while also protecting those she cares about.
Murong Yao stands in front of the palace window, looking into the distance. The palace night is always so quiet, with bright lights, as if everything is under her control.
However, all of this is just surface tranquility, behind which are tumultuous struggles.
In her heart, there is a secret. A secret related to the immortal realm. She came here not for power or status, but to find the person she has been searching for - her Master, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
Murong Yao gently touched her chest, where she wore a Xuan Hua Emperor Lord-given fairy tears jade pendant. This jade pendant was her only clue and her only hope.
Suddenly, the door of the bedroom was gently pushed open. A palace maid walked in respectfully, her eyes carrying a hint of nervousness.
"Miss Yao, the emperor has issued an edict for you to immediately go to the study room," the maid said, bowing her head.
Murong Yao was surprised in her heart, she didn't know what the emperor wanted to see her for at this time. She quickly tidied up her clothes and followed the palace maid out of the palace.
The lights in the study were still bright, and Tuoba Gui was sitting at the desk, holding a memorial in his hand, with a furrowed brow.
He heard the arrival of Murong Yao, put down the memorial in his hand, and looked up at her.
"Yao'er, you're here," Tuoba Gui's voice carried a hint of weariness.
Murong Yao walked quietly to his side and respectfully bowed, "What does Your Majesty command?"
Tuoba Gui remained silent for a moment, then stood up and walked over to Murong Yao. There was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.
"Yao'er, do you know why I want to make you the queen?" His voice was low and filled with a kind of inexplicable oppression.
Murong Yao was startled, not knowing how to respond. She lowered her head and said softly, "It's because Your Majesty values me, and I am deeply grateful."
Tuoba Gui looked deeply at her, as if trying to see through her thoughts. He gently touched her cheek, his voice full of tenderness.
"Yao'er, I know you have something on your mind. You're searching for something, aren't you?" His words startled Murong Yao, she didn't realize her secret had been discovered by him.
She raised her head and looked into Tuoba Gui's eyes. In those eyes, she saw care and affection, which made her feel weak in her heart.
"Your Majesty, I... " Her voice trembled, not knowing how to explain.
Tuoba Gui Gently holding her hand, he placed a small box in her hand.
"This is for you, I hope you like it," his voice was gentle, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Murong Yao opened the box with some surprise, inside was an exquisite jade ring, carved with a pair of flying phoenixes, extremely exquisite.
"This is..." Murong Yao choked up a bit.
"This is specially prepared for you, I hope you will like it," Tuoba Gui's voice was full of warmth.
Murong Yao was deeply moved, she knew that this was not just a jade ring, but also a token of Tuoba Gui's affection for her. She tightly held the jade ring, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely cherish it," her voice trembled.
Tuoba Gui gently embraced her, his heart filled with complex emotions. He knew there was a place in Murong Yao's heart that could not be touched, but he was willing to wait for her heart to fully belong to him.
The power struggle in the palace continues, but at this moment, Murong Yao feels only moved and warm.
The night in the palace is still so peaceful and beautiful.
