The Plot to Usurp

Seven was brought to the princess's quarters. She stood by the window, looking at him coldly. "You are Hu Hao?"

Seven bowed respectfully. "Yes, Your Highness, I am Hu Hao."

She turned, a hint of suspicion in her eyes. "You claim to be a fortune-teller who can foresee the future?"

Seven nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. I can indeed foresee the future. The regent's rebellion may succeed for now, but he will soon face new crises."

The princess raised an eyebrow. "New crises? What do you mean?"

Seven explained, "Although the regent has temporarily seized the throne, many loyalists to the Emperor remain within the court. They will not give up easily and will unite to overthrow him."

Worry flashed in the princess's eyes. "How do you know this?"

Seven smiled slightly. "Because I have seen the future. I can help the regent stabilize the court and secure his throne."

The princess pondered for a moment. "If what you say is true, what is your plan?"

Seven elaborated, "First, we need to identify and neutralize the loyalists' power. Second, we must win over the people, convincing them that the regent is the rightful ruler."

The princess nodded. "Your ideas make sense. I will report your plan to the regent."

Seven knew that gaining the princess's trust was crucial to helping his ancestor overcome the crisis. He resolved to succeed.

A few days later, Seven was summoned to the great hall. The regent eyed him with suspicion. "Can you really help me stabilize the court?"

Seven answered firmly, "Yes, Your Majesty. I have devised a detailed plan. If executed properly, we can stabilize the court and secure your throne."

The regent nodded slightly. "Very well, I will trust you this once. If you deceive me, you will face the consequences."

Seven sighed in relief, knowing he had taken a significant step. He began implementing his plan, starting by compiling a list of loyalists and systematically neutralizing their power.

In the following days, Seven meticulously executed each step, ensuring the plan's success. He knew that only by completing this plan could he truly change history and save his family.

One night, Seven stood on the palace's high platform, gazing at the distant stars, filled with hope and determination. He knew the road ahead was long, but he was ready to face any challenge.
