Gu dynasty
Today the Gu dynasty palace was decorated like a bride.
Every street and market of the capital city was crowded and joyful filled with people's laughter.
Today there was a birthday banquet of Empress dowager Gu Mei. As her name, she is beautiful also in her late fifties.
Emperor Gu Cheng and Empress Gu Wenjun were in the banquet hall with Empress dowager Gu Mei. All the officials, ministers, aristocratic families, Generals, Governors and many important people of the Gu dynasty were at the banquet.
Looking at the entrance of the banquet hall, Empress dowager looked back at Empress and said" Mei where is the princess ??? The banquet has already started why is she not here ??".
Faced with the Empress Dowager's question, Emperor and Empress both looked at the entrance. With a face full of disappointment Emperor Gu Cheng said" Day by day Hui's mischief is increasing. Today is the birthday banquet of her grandmother and as a princess, she is not here till now".
Empress and Empress Dowager kept silent and didn't say anything. In their heart, they are sure that they can't save the princess as the Emperor seems to be very angry.
All the people were enjoying the banquet when the Emperor's guard came to him and whispered something, which gave Emperor a big shock.
Before the emperor could react, some unknown guards have already surrounded the palace.
A man in black slowly approaches the Emperor and puts his sword on the Emperor's neck. The Gu dynasty guard and army were all in the mysterious force hand so, no one could do anything.
" wh.... who are you??" Emperor Gu Cheng asked without any fear in his eyes. He was a warrior who didn't have any fear to die for his dynasty and his people.
The mysterious person open the mask and smiled evilly at Emperor Gu Cheng.
Seeing the face the Emperor become shocked" Your royal highness, the crown prince of the Jin dynasty. May I know what mistake did My Gu dynasty had done ??".
The crown prince of the Jin dynasty smiles evilly and kills Emperor Gu Cheng. Seeing this all the people in the banquet hall panic they run here and there. Empress Gu Wenjun runs to her husband but she was also killed by the crown prince of the Jin dynasty.
The Emperor was already dead while the Empress's eyes were blurry. Suddenly she saw her daughter Princess Gu Hui running to her but she signals her to stop.
This was seen by Empress Dowager for the last time looking at her dead son and daughter-in-law she runs to her granddaughter Princess Gu Hui and drags her out of the banquet hall.
She forcefully drags Princess Hui and walks to the secret way which could lead them out of the palace. The guard from the Jin dynasty was following them, to distract the guard away from them Empress Dowager looked at her granddaughter Princess Gu Hui.
She took out a necklace from her neck and gave it to Princess Gu Hui " Hui my dear run from here and don't look back?".
" Grandmother, what are you saying? What is happening who are they ?? Father, Mother they ... " Remembering her parents being killed in front of her eyes she can't control her tears.
Empress Dowager hears the guard approaching them " Now we don't have time. Run away from here and live a good life. This may be the last time we will be meeting".
Before Princess Gu Hui could reply impress dowager pushed Princess Hui and her bodyguard into the dark hidden path and closed the door. She then ran to the other side to distract the guard.
As she expected all the guards came behind her and killed her. She was happy thinking at least her princess was saved. She wished that she could leave a happy life.
On the other hand at the Palace gate where General Zhou Tan of the Jin dynasty was watching the citizens ask what had happened inside the palace.
They are all Gu dynasty citizens. They heard what had happened in the palace and were worried about the royal family and all the powerful families who were inside the palace.
Rather than that the Gu dynasty citizen was worried thinking what could happen to them after the massacre of the royal family and all the powerful family of the Gu dynasty.
Some citizens were even ready to leave the city or the Gu dynasty but the gate was closed so they can't get out.
The man from inside the palace comes to General Zhou Tan and passes him the order from the crown prince to kill the citizen if anyone disobeys them.
" We know you all citizens are worried about your royal family. We are also sorry that you all citizens will always be the ones who are damaged the most by conflicts and caught between the dynasty, Kingdom. We can't bear to harm all of the innocent citizens but if you all didn't obey us then we will be forced to kill you all. We all are from the Jin Dynasty, and we have gotten proof that Gu Dynasty betrayed us by joining hands with Jin Dynasty enemies. Those who go against the Jin dynasty will be destroyed let alone betrayed. The Gu dynasty will be under the Jin dynasty, we will let you live a life which you have always lived without any harm. I just request you to cooperate with us and let us find more people aside from the royal family who had gone against the Jin dynasty" General Zhou said.
Now, all the citizens were assured. They just hoped that what the person said will be true and they could live a life as they did.
While Princess Gu Hui and her bodyguard were running from there, unfortunately, they were caught by some Jin dynasty guards. Because of Princess Gu Hui's clothes, they recognized her as the princess of the Gu dynasty.
They all attack Princess Gu Hui, but her bodyguard protects her.
