From that day on, I personally took charge of Dongfang Yan's three meals a day. 0
 
Dongfang Yan was reluctant to let me work so hard and often advised me, "Yi, let the Imperial Kitchen handle it. You’re overexerting yourself, and it pains me to see you like this." 0
 
I shook my head firmly and replied, "No, I can’t trust them." 0
 
Eventually, Dongfang Yan decided to cook himself, but he was afraid of being discovered and could only do so in secret when no one was around. 0
 
Before long, someone sent several beautiful fairies to attend to Dongfang Yan. 0
 
Looking at those fairies and then at me, Dongfang Yan said, "Yi, you decide." 0
 
I nodded, "Alright, let them stay." 0
 
My words made Dongfang Yan angry. 0
 
He ignored me and refused to speak. 0
 
After much effort in explaining, I finally managed to send those fairies away. 0
 
Thus, we continued to strategize both inside and outside the palace, cautious yet full of determination. 0
 
In the court, those who originally supported the Demon King began to dwindle as more people grew intolerant of his arrogance. 0
 
They rallied behind the Son of the Heavenly Emperor, forming a new force against the Demon King. 0
 
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yan and I replaced all the Celestial Soldiers in the palace. 0
 
As a result, the Crown Prince's faction and the Demon King's faction began to clash in secret. 0
 
The two sides remained locked in a stalemate. 0
 
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, tensions finally reached their peak. 0
 
The Demon King's followers seized control of the Capital Guards and stormed into the imperial palace. 0
 
The coup had begun. 0
 
Dongfang Yan donned the Heavenly Emperor's Purple Gold Dragon Scale Armor, wielding the Skyward Sword, ready for battle. 0
 
 
Under the moonlight, he was extraordinarily handsome, embodying the aura of the Heavenly Emperor. 0
 
Outside the Celestial Palace, the Crimson Flame Army led by Dongfang Shu had already engaged in battle with the demon king's forces. 0
 
Inside the palace, Dongfang Yan was stationed to oversee everything. 0
 
At that moment, Dongfang Yan suddenly walked up to me and embraced me tightly. 0
 
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to hug me. 0
 
I patted his back and urged, " Brother Yan, return safely." 0
 
Dongfang Yan looked into my eyes and said earnestly, "Yi, when we return this time, let's get married." 0
 
I smiled and nodded, "Alright." 0
 
Dongfang Yan turned around happily and walked away. 0
 
That night was chaotic; the sounds of clashing Divine Weapons and anguished cries filled the air. 0
 
The roars of spirit beasts echoed continuously. 0
 
I hid in a secluded courtyard, anxiously waiting. 0
 
My hands and feet were cold, yet I dared not move. 0
 
I wanted to go out and help, but I knew there was nothing I could do. The only thing I could do was protect myself and avoid falling into the demon king's hands, becoming a hostage that would threaten Dongfang Yan. 0
 
I kept eating Spirit Fruits to calm my emotions. 0
 
Until dawn broke, the sounds finally ceased. 0
 
Yet my heart remained unsettled; I hesitated to step outside. 0
 
I didn't know who had won. 0
 
I hoped it was Dongfang Yan but feared it might be the demon king. If the demon king won, it would mean my nightmare would come true—he would ascend to the position of Heavenly Emperor. 0
 
 
No, it won't happen. 0
 
I shook my head, desperately trying to rid myself of that thought. 0
 
Dongfang Yan will definitely not lose. 0
 
With a creak, the palace door was pushed open. 0
 
I curled up in fear, staring intently at the newcomer. 0
 
A tall figure stood at the entrance. 0
 
I jumped up, my heart racing wildly. 0
 
The person walked slowly toward me, the moonlight illuminating his face. 0
 
It was Dongfang Yan. 0
 
My Brother Yan. 0
 
I rushed over and hugged him tightly. 0
 
He smelled of blood. 0
 
Dongfang Yan gently patted my back and smiled, saying, "Yi, I kept my promise and returned safely." 0
 
Before the joy in my heart could fully bloom, Dongfang Yan suddenly collapsed in front of me. 0
