The love story of Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan has become the most beautiful legend in this dynasty, inspiring generations of people to bravely pursue their own happiness.

However, the gears of fate inadvertently dragged them into the vortex of court struggles. Their originally peaceful life was broken, and they had to face the conspiracy and frame-up of the powerful.

It was a seemingly ordinary day, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were invited to attend a banquet in the palace. At the banquet, the lights were bright, the singing and dancing were prosperous, and the princes and nobles toasted each other, making it very lively. However, under this seemingly harmonious appearance, there was a turbulent undercurrent.

Li Shangshu, a powerful minister, was jealous and fearful of Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's talents and prestige. He knew that the existence of these two people posed a threat to his power. So he began to secretly plot to put them to death.

Halfway through the banquet, a maid suddenly came to report that the queen's bedroom had been robbed and an extremely precious treasure was lost. Upon hearing this, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

Minister Li took the opportunity to make a suggestion, accusing Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan of being suspects of stealing treasures. He spoke eloquently in front of the emperor and listed a series of so-called "evidence", which made the emperor suspicious of them.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan knew they were wronged, but it was difficult for them to defend themselves in the palace. They were temporarily detained, awaiting further investigation.

In the cell, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were in a heavy mood. They knew that this was a carefully planned conspiracy, and if they could not find the truth as soon as possible and clear their grievances, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Mo Han, we can't just sit there and wait to die." Gu Qianning's eyes were full of determination.

Chu Mohan held her hand and nodded, "Qianning, don't be afraid. We will support each other and will definitely get through this difficult time."

They began to recall every detail of the banquet, trying to find clues. Gu Qianning suddenly remembered that before the incident, she had seen Li Shangshu's confidant sneaking around the Queen's bedroom.

"This may be a breakthrough point." Chu Mohan said.

So, they decided to find a way to pass on this clue. Gu Qianning used a kind palace maid whom she met in the palace to help pass the message to an upright minister.

After receiving the news, the minister became suspicious of Li Shangshu's behavior. He began to investigate secretly and found more evidence that Li Shangshu had framed Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan.

At the same time, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were not idle in the cell. They carefully analyzed Li Shangshu's motives and possible next actions, preparing for the upcoming crisis.

After some twists and turns, the upright minister finally exposed Li Shangshu's conspiracy in front of the emperor. The emperor suddenly realized that he had wronged Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan, and immediately ordered them to be released.

Although they got out of trouble temporarily, they knew that Minister Li would not give up. Sure enough, Minister Li took action again. This time, he joined forces with several ministers with ulterior motives to try to suppress Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan in the government.

They deliberately opposed Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan on some important decisions, creating chaos and making the emperor question their abilities.

Faced with this situation, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan did not let their anger get the better of them. They calmly analyzed the situation, relied on their wisdom and talents, argued in court, and resolved crises time and time again.

However, Li Shangshu's methods became more and more sinister. He began to spread rumors that Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were plotting rebellion, trying to incite the people's emotions.

For a time, rumors spread inside and outside the palace, and Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan faced unprecedented pressure. But their love and trust became more indestructible in this difficult time.

Gu Qianning used her intelligence to investigate the source of the rumors and found out that it was Minister Li who hired some ruffians to spread the rumors among the people.

Chu Mohan actively sought the support of other ministers in the court and revealed the true face of Minister Li to them.

At an important court meeting, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan exposed Li Shangshu's crimes one by one in front of the emperor and all the ministers. They produced solid evidence, leaving Li Shangshu with no room for rebuttal.

The emperor finally recognized the true face of Li Shangshu and dismissed him from his post and investigated him.

But the palace struggle did not end there. Li Shangshu's followers were still unwilling to accept defeat and continued to secretly plot new conspiracies.

During one of the emperor's hunting trips, they attempted to create an accident, assassinate the emperor, and put the blame on Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan.

Fortunately, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan noticed the abnormality in advance and strengthened the emperor's security measures. At the critical moment when the assassin appeared, Chu Mohan stepped forward and fought a desperate battle with the assassin, and finally protected the emperor's safety.

After this incident, the emperor's trust in Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan deepened. He began to use them and let them participate in more government decisions.

But this also aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of some other powerful people, who united to form a new opposition force.

This opposition force was respectful to Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan on the surface, but they were constantly making small moves behind the scenes. They set up obstacles in various affairs of the court and tried to undermine Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's reform plans.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan knew that in order to completely break this situation, they had to solve the problem from the root. They decided to investigate the background and crimes of these powerful people in depth and catch them all in one fell swoop.

During the investigation, they encountered many difficulties and dangers. The opposition sent assassins to assassinate them. But every time, they relied on their mutual understanding and wit to escape danger.

After a long period of effort, they finally collected enough evidence to expose the crimes of these powerful people to the public. The emperor was furious and severely punished these people.

The atmosphere in the palace gradually improved, and Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's positions became more stable. However, they did not become complacent, but continued to work hard for the prosperity and stability of the dynasty.

However, at this time, news of war broke out on the border. The enemy was advancing aggressively, and the dynasty's army was defeated.

Some ministers with ulterior motives took the opportunity to advise others, saying that Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were colluding with the enemy and committing treason, which led to the defeat of the war.

Although the emperor trusted them very much, he had to investigate them due to pressure from many ministers.

Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan knew that this was another conspiracy of the enemy. They decided to go to the border in person, command the battle, and prove their innocence with practical actions.

On the frontier battlefield, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan showed extraordinary military talents, and they formulated ingenious strategies and tactics to boost the morale of the soldiers.

After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the enemy and won a great victory.

When they returned to the palace with the news of victory, the ministers who had falsely accused them were speechless. The emperor praised them highly and granted them higher honors and powers.

But they know that the palace struggle will never stop. As long as there is power and interests, there will be conspiracies and frame-ups.

In the days to come, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan will still need to remain vigilant, support each other, and continue to move forward in this dangerous palace.

Their love became more steadfast with each test, and their wisdom and courage became a story praised by everyone in the court.

As time went by, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan's influence in the palace grew. Not only did they repeatedly escape danger in political struggles, but they also brought prosperity and stability to the dynasty through a series of reform measures.

However, their success also aroused the jealousy and resentment of the concubines in the harem. Among them, a group of concubines headed by the imperial concubine began to plot a conspiracy against Gu Qianning.

The imperial concubine deliberately sowed discord in front of the emperor, saying that Gu Qianning interfered in the affairs of the harem and did not take the royal majesty seriously. The emperor did not believe it at first, but the imperial concubine's words were so convincing that the emperor gradually became suspicious.

At the same time, the other concubines in the harem also echoed the imperial concubine and whispered in the emperor's ear. The emperor decided to secretly observe Gu Qianning's every move.

Gu Qianning noticed the change in the emperor's attitude, but she didn't know the reason. Chu Mohan learned about the imperial concubine's conspiracy through his spies in the palace.

"Qian Ning, this is the Imperial Concubine's conspiracy. We must deal with it carefully." Chu Mohan said anxiously.

Gu Qianning calmly thought about the countermeasures, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to expose the imperial concubine's conspiracy."

So, they began to collect evidence that the imperial concubine and others had framed them. Gu Qianning used her connections in the harem to secretly investigate the imperial concubine's past behavior and discovered that she had framed other concubines in order to win the emperor's favor.

Chu Mohan discussed with some ministers who supported him in the court how to expose the concubine's crimes to the emperor at the right time.

At a palace banquet, the imperial concubine once again accused Gu Qianning in front of the emperor. Gu Qianning was not afraid at all, and refuted it on the spot, and produced the evidence that the imperial concubine had framed her.

After seeing the evidence, the emperor suddenly realized what was going on and was furious at the concubine's behavior. He ordered the concubine to be banished to the cold palace, and other concubines who participated in the conspiracy were also punished accordingly.

After this incident, Gu Qianning's position in the harem became more stable. However, she did not harbor ambitions towards other concubines because of this. Instead, she won the respect of everyone with her tolerance and generosity.

However, the struggle in the palace did not stop because some princes also set their sights on Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan in order to compete for the throne.

The eldest prince believed that Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were the biggest obstacles to his fight for the throne, so he sent people to poison their food. Fortunately, Gu Qianning discovered the abnormality in time and avoided a disaster.

The second prince tried to win them over, promising that once he ascended the throne, he would give them supreme power and wealth. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan knew the danger of getting involved in the princes' dispute, and decisively rejected the second prince's attempt to win them over.

The third prince adopted a more sinister approach. He deliberately created the illusion in front of the emperor that Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were colluding with other princes, trying to make the emperor lose trust in them.

Facing the intrigues of the princes, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan felt exhausted, but they knew that they could not back down and must uphold justice and loyalty.

At a critical moment, Chu Mohan took the risk to meet the emperor, and frankly expressed to him his and Gu Qianning's positions on the fight for the throne, and exposed the conspiracy of the princes.

After careful consideration, the emperor decided to appoint a virtuous prince as the crown prince and issued a stern warning to the other princes.

After years of palace struggle, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan finally ushered in a relatively peaceful period. They continued to work hard for the development of the dynasty and guarded this land with their wisdom and courage.
