Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

After Ye Yanran was canonized as Consort Qing, she saw that Xiao Changming doted on her very much and immediately became proud.

After she took charge of the harem, the first thing she did was to kill all the concubines who had followed Xiao Yi.

She wanted to deal with Gu Congyun, but Gu Congyun died in the fire and she couldn't deal with her.

But Gu Congyun has caused her a lot of trouble over the years, and she has to vent her anger.

"Your Majesty, Prince Changping and Xiao Yi had a very close relationship, and Concubine Yun was also very favored when she was alive. Now that Concubine Yun was burned to death, Prince Changping will probably bear a grudge against Your Majesty."

"Besides, the Prince of Changping is the only prince of a different surname who holds military power in the entire capital. How can the emperor sleep peacefully at night if he is still around? It is better to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Ye Yanran and Xiao Changming were lying close together on the couch. Ye Yanran held a piece of candied fruit in her hand and gently put it into Xiao Changming's mouth, but the words she said were extremely vicious.

Although Prince Changping holds military power, that is the army stationed in Beiliang City, 18,000 miles away from the capital. How could it possibly pose a threat to Xiao Changming?

To put it bluntly, she just couldn't stand seeing Prince Changping's Mansion doing well.

While eating sweet candied fruit, the love-making flute played loudly, and Ye Yanran was held in his arms.

"My beloved, what benefits will you give me when I deal with Prince Changping?"

"I am the emperor's concubine. If the emperor wants any benefit, just come and get it."

"I want the red pill."

"It is not easy to take too much of the Emperor's red pills."

Ye Yanran's heart tightened slightly. The red pill was not a good thing. Xiao Changming would feel good, but she would suffer.

The last time he took it, she had to stay in bed for several days before she could get out of bed.

"It's okay. I've been practicing martial arts for many years and my skills are pretty good. What's a small red pill to me?"

Ye Yanran wanted to get rid of the Prince Changping's Mansion as soon as possible, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

As she expected, she couldn't get out of bed the next day.

However, Xiao Changming did not break his promise and immediately sent Gu Xi, the only legitimate son of Prince Changping, to lead troops to Beimen Mountain to suppress the bandits.

Gu Xi is a well-known playboy in the capital. He has never even held a knife since he was a child. It would be better to let him die than to let him go to suppress bandits.

Upon receiving the news, Prince Changping Gu Bozhong immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor, hoping that he could suppress the bandits on behalf of his son.

As a result, Gu Bozhong didn't even get to see Xiao Changming. A little eunuch came to tell him that either Gu Bozhong had to hand over his military power, or Gu Xi would lead the troops to suppress the bandits himself. He had no third choice.

Gu Bozhong held the military power of 20 troops on the northern border. As soon as the border was calm, he immediately returned to the capital, fearing that the emperor would become suspicious of him.

As a result, Xiao Changming started taking action against him as soon as he ascended the throne.

When Xiao Yi ascended the throne, he lost his daughter.

When Xiao Changming ascended the throne, he wanted him to be without a son.

Could it be that the Xiao family just wants to destroy the Gu family?

Gu Bozhong returned to the palace in a daze.

"Your Highness, a young general named Zhou came to see you just now."

"That young General Zhou?"

"Young General Zhou Wuwei, under General Ding of the Southern Camp."

When Gu Bozhong heard that it was Zhou Wuwei, he couldn't help but frown. He had never had any connection with Zhou Wuwei before, so what was he doing here?

Full of doubts, Gu Bozhong went to the small study, only to see that besides Zhou Wuwei there was another tall man in the room.

The man had his back to him, and he just turned around when he pushed the door open.

When the two looked at each other, Gu Bozhong was stunned.

"King Qin?"

"It is this prince. Uncle Gu and I haven't seen each other for several years."

Xiao Mo's words "Uncle Gu" instantly brought back countless memories for Gu Bozhong.

He stood at the door in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"I heard that the King of Qin's large army encountered General Ding's troops near Luojiu City. They have been fighting for more than a month. I didn't expect that the prince would still be in the mood to come to the capital."

"General Ding's soldiers in the Southern Camp haven't been out for a few years. It's a good idea for them to practice their martial arts this time. As for our tug-of-war, there is no such thing."

Xiao Mo's words made Gu Bozhong even more confused.

"You mean Ding Xinji has surrendered to you?"

"No, General Ding only obeys the orders of the Tiger Talisman, and I don't have a Tiger Talisman."

Gu Bozhong was not a fool. After hearing what Xiao Mo said, he was basically certain that although Ding Xinji was not on Xiao Mo's side, he would not be used by others. He was waiting for the final winner of the battle for the throne.

"I wonder why the King of Qin came to see me?"

"I'm here to help you out of your urgent need."

While people in the capital were in a panic, Ningchuan City was peaceful. After several consecutive sunny days, the wheat in the farmlands was ripe.

It's summer harvest again, and the entire Ningchuan City is immersed in joy.

This was the second time that Ye Jintang hadn't received a letter from Xiao Mo for more than ten days in a row.

All the arrangements for the capital city have been completed, so she won’t feel as uneasy as she did the first time.

However, Ye Jintang was quite tormented as he was busy with the summer harvest on one hand and waiting for Xiao Mo's letter on the other.

"My lady, this is a letter from the prince."

Luzhu hurried into the study holding the carrier pigeon.

"Oh, the prince finally remembered me."

Ye Jintang opened the letter unhappily. When she quickly read the contents, she was stunned.

Didn’t Xiao Changming immediately enthrone Ye Yanran as the queen?

Gu Xi is going to suppress bandits?

The Marquis of Danyang's Mansion is so prosperous in the capital that it holds a grand evening banquet?

Is the Danyang Marquisate so crazy?

If Ye Yanran is enthroned as queen again, they should set off firecrackers to celebrate.

The development of things was somewhat different from what Ye Jintang expected, but she was not worried as long as the ending was the same.

"My lady, our carrier pigeon is injured. We don't know what bit it."

Lu Zhu showed the pigeon's wounds to Ye Jintang. Several flight feathers had fallen from the pigeon's wings, and there were several places on its body that seemed to have been pecked by something, with all the feathers and flesh pecked away, leaving a bloody hole.

"This is not the first time our pigeons have been attacked by large birds of prey. This is unacceptable. It would be terrible if our important correspondence was destroyed."

Ye Jintang immediately asked the guards to take the powerful archers to go outside the city to look around to find out what kind of bird of prey was so powerful that it chased and bit her carrier pigeons every day.

Guard captain Gao Changdong was quite capable and found the culprit in just half a day, a golden eagle living on the cliff.

"The wingspan of the queen's golden eagle is more than ten feet long. I heard from the villagers around here that the golden eagle has only come here in the past six months. It not only attacks our pigeons, but also dares to catch the lambs of the common people."

"I wanted to scare the golden eagle away with my men, but it was not afraid of us at all. As soon as we shot arrows, it flew high into the sky. When we left, it followed us around and chirped in protest."

"Oh, it can even demonstrate. It seems quite spiritual. Tomorrow the princess will go to meet this golden eagle."

Ye Jintang keeps so many homing pigeons, so this golden eagle should either move away or be stewed into soup.

As for peaceful coexistence, that is impossible. Pigeons are food for golden eagles. How can it resist not eating them?
