Recently two interesting things happened in the Imperial City. One was that the Regent's beloved pet had gotten lost. There was a large-scale search for over half a month but he still had not been found. The Regent was said to be very depressed. The second was that news had come from the borderlands that the Western General WanQi Yan had been successful in his western conquest and was returning with his troops back to court. The Emperor was very pleased and had rewarded him with many treasures, and had also given him the title of the Marquis of Yong Wu. It could be seen that his star was definitely on the rise. {T/N: His title is "Marquis of Yong Wu", which means something like "Military Might" Marquis, but his actual name is WanQi Yan. He will be referred to by both names.}

Everyone knew that the Regent controlled the court. Not only did he have imperial power but he also had military power, and this Marquis of Yong Wu was precisely one of the trusted people in his palm. He was given significant power. WanQi Yan had obtained such a glorious military victory and had boosted the Regent's imperial power. Originally the young Emperor already had little standing and power, now he practically had nothing and spend all his time thinking about how to turn these two people into dust.

As for how the winds were turning, Zhao Xuan knew. WanQi Yan knew. Zhou YunSheng was even more clear.

Right now he was on his way to the General's Manor in a carriage. Along the way he stared out at the bustling roadside scenes and internally reviewed all his memories of WanQi Yan from his past life.

WanQi Yan was really a genius talent. Without his support from behind, the Regent would not have been able to completely grasp imperial power. The two people relied on each other, supported each other, but once they were pulled asunder, then it would create huge waves of change at court. In order to topple the Regent, WanQi Yan was a crucial step.

In the past life, OuYang MingYue had been forced to marry the Regent. She was very unhappy. Under the surface she plotted and schemed with the young Emperor while maintaining an outward appearance of intimacy with the Regent in order to obtain his trust. WangQi Yan became a crucial part of her plans. OuYang MingYue wore male clothes and took on the guise of a noble warrior of the pugilist (wuxia) world and got acquainted with WanQi Yan. Slowly she exposed her intelligence and talent, and slowly and subconsciously WanQi Yan began to form a deep and subconscious attachment to her. Finally one time OuYang MingYue fell under the influence of aphrodisiacs, she had no choice but to expose her gender, and the two people successfully rolled onto the bed and were swallowed by desire and lust.

WanQi Yan originally thought that the person he liked was a male, and was deeply conflicted by this for a long time. Just as he had made up his mind to throw away societal conventions and pledge himself to this person, he unexpectedly discovered that the person turned into a woman. He couldn't be more overjoyed.

OuYang MingYue took advantage of his situation. Every day they clung to each other and made love, she made him unable to live without her. When the timing was ripe, she began to cry and confess to him about the tragic life she had led after being forced into marriage by the Regent. She begged WanQi Yan to help her get revenge.

The Regent had once saved WanQi Yan's life. So of course he didn't agree straight away. When OuYang MingYue saw that her begging didn't have any effect, she deliberately angered the Regent in front of him, causing the Regent to lash out at her.

When he saw his lover filled with wounds, WanQi Yan's heart finally melted. Slowly he began to distance himself from the Regent, he changed his alliance to the young Emperor. In the end he helped him force the Regent to step down and return the imperial power. If not for the fact that OuYang MingYue still lusted after the Regent's bedroom skills as well as his beautiful face, he probably would not have been able to keep his life and would have been executed by the young Emperor as a traitor.
