The mental state is beautiful

During these three years, Zhang Yan maintained a kind and tolerant image, making everyone in the palace become her puppets step by step.

Because once Lü Lu sets his mind on someone he loves, he will not change it easily, so the Dai spy Su Wen has been unable to get close to Lü Lu.

After failing to obtain the tiger talisman for such a long time, Su Wen was finally abandoned by the Dai State, and it was the Dai general Zhou Yafu who personally dealt with Su Wen.

Bo Ji still refused to give up and wanted to fight for her son, so she sent several family members to the Han Palace.

Among them, Zhou Yafu's sister Zhou Ziran fell in love with King Dai Liu Heng at first sight, so she volunteered to become a spy for the Dai State and asked to go to the Han Palace.

Empress Lu knew what Bo Ji was planning at a glance. After she discovered Zhou Ziran's identity, she calmly sent Zhou Ziran back to Dai as a family member.

Among the family members who traveled with her, there was also a spy arranged by Empress Lu to go to the State of Dai, and this person was Dou Yifang.

After Dou Yifang's luck suffered a backlash, she began to experience hardships just like an ordinary person. She desperately tried to prove her own worth in order to survive.

Empress Lü captured Dou Yifang's aunt and threatened her, and Dou Yifang indeed became a qualified spy.

In the original plot, the person that Empress Lu used to threaten Dou Yifang was her childhood savior and good sister, Shen'er.

As a result, Dou Yifang didn't care about Shen'er's life or death at all. She could protect Liu Heng for love and pass false information to Empress Lu. She never cared about how Empress Lu would treat Shen'er after the matter was exposed.

And now Shen'er has become Lu Lu's wife, Lu Hou's niece-in-law, and a member of the Lu family.

Dou Yifang no longer had the chance to meet Shen'er again, so she kidnapped her out of sisterly love for her own benefit.

Without the good fortune of turning danger into safety and disaster into blessing, Dou Yifang finally stopped maintaining her image of truth, kindness and beauty.

When things are going wrong, it is difficult for people to remain tolerant of everything around them. Under the burden of life, Dou Yifang inevitably reveals her irritable side.

Therefore, the several family members who went to Dai State on this trip did not maintain the illusion of harmony from the very beginning.

That's right. They are rivals vying for the favor of King Dai Liu Heng. Why are they trying to act like sisters and they are all good friends?

Dou Yifang, who has lost her good luck and whose true face has been exposed, naturally won't have a Xue Yuan who is open-hearted to her.

She worked hard alone in the State of Dai and actually brought back some useful information for Empress Lu.

Among them, Qingning, a spy sent by Empress Lu, became Liu Heng's first wife and really fell in love with Liu Heng.

Qingning voluntarily suffered for love. She was a noble queen during the day and a prisoner bound by chains at night.

Although he possessed great martial arts skills, he was willing to stay in Dai State and pass false information to Empress Lu to protect Liu Heng.

Upon learning that Qingning had rebelled, Empress Lü decisively gave up on Qingning and asked Dou Yifang to find a way to get rid of Qingning.

So, Dou Yifang deliberately revealed her true colors when delivering a message, and led Bo Ji and Liu Heng's men to the place where Qingning was imprisoned.

Bo Ji never trusted Qingning, and now she was certain that Qingning had betrayed Liu Heng, so she ordered people to shoot Qingning.

A tragic and infatuated woman died, and another infatuated woman who was destined to the same tragedy became the queen. This person was Zhou Ziran.

With the identity of a queen standing by Liu Heng's side in broad daylight, Zhou Ziran began to continue to desire Liu Heng's true heart.

However, since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts. The encounter carefully designed by Dou Yifang became the heaven-sent fate in Liu Heng's heart, and Zhou Ziran was destined to have regrets.

Dou Yifang was increasingly favored and trusted by Liu Heng, and the dejected Zhou Ziran was determined to outdo Dou Yifang. As a result, not long after Zhou Ziran became pregnant, Dou Yifang also became pregnant.

When Empress Lu learned about this, she was worried that Dou Yifang would betray her for the child, so she sent someone to kill the fetus in Dou Yifang's belly. Dou Yifang was a smart person, so she naturally knew what to choose.

Sure enough, Dou Yifang saw through the truth from the beginning, and then decisively put the blame on Zhou Ziran. Judging from the motives and the final benefits, Zhou Ziran was indeed the most likely culprit.

Liu Heng had already believed Dou Yifang's slander, but considering that Zhou Ziran's brother was a capable general of the Dai State, he suppressed his anger and let the matter go.

Everyone understood Liu Heng's thoughts, except Zhou Ziran, who was foolishly touched by Liu Heng's trust in her.

All this made Zhang Yan laugh. She knew that Zhou Ziran's child would be killed by Dou Yifang sooner or later. What she had to do now was to make Liu Heng's family extinct.

Only in this way can it be ensured that after Liu Ying's death, the possibility of Liu Heng's rebellion being successful is greatly reduced. After all, how can a king without an heir compare to an orthodox bloodline with unlimited possibilities in the future.

Liu Ying became increasingly annoyed by Empress Lu's dominance, and Zhang Yan pretended to empathize with him, and the two of them spent more and more time chatting.

Empress Lu thought her son had finally figured it out, and was very satisfied to see that Liu Ying and Zhang Yan got along well.

A few months later, Zhou Ziran had a difficult delivery. Liu Heng's plan was to kill the mother and keep the child, but Dou Yifang intervened and Zhang Yan also secretly stabbed him, and the final result was two lives, one corpse.

Now that Liu Heng will no longer have any biological children, Dou Yifang is of little use.

Zhang Yan took this opportunity to have the puppet arranged in Dai State expose Liu Heng's plan to kill the mother and keep the son. Zhou Yafu really hated Liu Heng in his heart.

"I only have this one sister. When Ziran was fifteen, she was willing to go to the Han Palace to be a spy for you. King Dai, do you really think that she killed Dou Yifang's child?"

Zhou Yafu entered the palace of King Dai with a sword and questioned Liu Heng.

Liu Heng hesitated at this time, but still chose to believe what Dou Yifang said.

Zhou Yafu laughed angrily, "Then what did King Ru Dai say? You just wanted to kill the mother and keep the child when Zi Ran gave birth, so why didn't you save the child?"

"If you think that Ziran killed Lady Dou's child, then I also think that Lady Dou killed my sister's child!"

Zhou Yafu stopped talking nonsense. He was now alone and his only sister was dead. Even if something happened to him, he would take revenge first.

Zhou Yafu killed Dou Yifang with one sword, and Liu Heng was unable to dodge and was also hit by the sword.

At the critical moment, Bo Ji arrived with troops. Zhou Yafu certainly would not listen to the hypocritical mother and son in front of him. Their talk of surrendering was clearly an invitation to be killed!

Zhou Yafu knew he could not defeat so many soldiers with only his sword, so he turned around and kidnapped Liu Heng.

Bo Ji still thought that Zhou Yafu kidnapped Liu Heng just because he wanted an excuse to escape.

After all, she could never have imagined that Zhou Yafu, a loyal and patriotic man, was ready to betray the State of Dai.

Listening to Bo Ji's arrogant and self-proclaimed kind words, Zhou Yafu remembered that Bo Ji had used the same attitude when she persuaded her sister to go to the Han Palace to be a spy, and he became even angrier.

Zhou Yafu struck Liu Heng in the throat with one sword. Bo Ji and the soldiers present were all extremely surprised and everyone was stunned.

Zhang Yan, who was watching the show secretly, almost clapped her hands in joy. Now she didn't have to be the bad guy anymore. She caused the civil unrest and brought disaster upon herself. Who could she blame?

Empress Lu thought that this was a divisive plot by her spy Dou Yifang, but she didn't know that Zhang Yan was behind all of this.

As for the deceased Dou Yifang, Empress Lu would never allow anyone to know Dou Yifang's identity as a spy.

Empress Lü was no longer a threat, so she became more tolerant towards Liu Ying. Unfortunately, Liu Ying still did not survive the "death point" of the original plot.

As Liu Ying's health became increasingly weak, Empress Lu arranged for several family members to take care of Liu Ying, hoping to preserve Liu Ying's bloodline.

Zhang Yan would not allow anyone to compete with her child for the throne, so she directly gave Liu Ying a sterilizing drug and put the little puppet that was fused with Liu Ying's essence and blood into her own belly.

Zhang Yan recalled that in the original story, Liu Ying faked his own death and escaped, leaving Zhang Yan alone in the Han Palace to suffer. This time, since she had chosen to die, she would really die!

After Liu Ying's death, none of the concubines arranged by Empress Lu became pregnant. Empress Lu was very panicked. If this matter were to be leaked, the throne would definitely fall into the hands of other members of the Liu family.

At this time, Zhang Yan was found to be three months pregnant. Only then did Empress Lu feel relieved and prayed every day that the baby in Zhang Yan's belly was a boy.

Zhang Yan knew that once the child was born, it would only be a tool for Empress Lu to continue to maintain power.

Whether for the original owner's wish or for her own future, she would no longer tolerate Empress Lu's continued troublemaking.

Without Empress Lu, those people in the Lu family could only stay at home honestly. After all, there was a layer of distance between him and them.

If they are greedy and want me to give my heart and soul to them, then I will let them know what thundering means are!

Zhang Yan knew that in the first few years after the child was born, Empress Lu would need to step in to block the pressure from court officials, so she finally chose to give Empress Lu a chronic poison.

In this way, it could ensure that Empress Lu could only live for another six or seven years, and she would also be allowed to weaken step by step, so that her death would not arouse doubts from others.

A few months later, Zhang Yan successfully gave birth to a baby boy.

The ministers of the previous dynasty, Empress Lu in the harem and the Lu family were all very satisfied.

Zhang Yan watched coldly as the Lu family became more and more high-profile, while Empress Lu also proudly abused her power and killed her former enemy Bo Ji.

From a woman's perspective, Zhang Yan admired Empress Lu's wholehearted help to Liu Bang when she was young, sympathized with her husband's experience of being kidnapped while his husband was indulging in the tenderness of Concubine Qi and Concubine Bo, felt sorry for her and her son Liu Ying who were not as favored by Liu Bang as concubines and illegitimate sons. She appreciated her courage to protect her daughter from being married off under numerous pressures, and respected her actions to break through the secular vision and gain control of power.

But Empress Lu attached too much importance to the Lu family and she could not give it up.

Perhaps the Lu family was once the biggest guarantee for her to ascend to the throne of queen, but the Lu family today is no longer the motivated and sober Lu family. Empress Lu still ignores the facts and wishes that the Lu family will become the undisputed number one family.

If Empress Lü had been bolder and had directly sought power and usurped the throne, then her vision might have come true.

However, Empress Lü was unwilling to overthrow the fact that the Han dynasty was ruled by the Liu family.

As long as the Han Dynasty still belongs to the Liu family, the more powerful the Lu family becomes, the less they will be tolerated by future emperors.

This is also why Empress Lu wanted to make the cowardly original owner Zhang Yan the queen. She hoped that the person to the throne would be someone who had a blood relationship with the Lu family and could be controlled by her.

Empress Lü had awakened some self-awareness, but deep down she still had the ancient idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

She was hurt by Liu Bang's indifference, but she still recognized his throne and agreed that the country must be ruled by the Liu family.

Empress Lü has been committed to strengthening the ties between the Lü and Liu families, and recently she even wanted to marry a young lady from the Lü family to a member of the Liu family.

Unfortunately, the Liu family's son already has a lover, and his lover also has a child.

How could the proud Miss Lu tolerate that her future husband's heart was not with her? She killed her lover and his unborn child with a sword, and the Liu family's son also died for love.

Empress Lu didn't care about all these love, hate, and vengeance. She only knew that the young lady of the Lu family had destroyed her chance to unite the Lu and Liu families. So Empress Lu personally organized a Hongmen Banquet.

Although Miss Lu was afraid when she came to the banquet, she still thought that Empress Lu and the Lu family would protect her.

Zhang Yan looked coldly at yet another chess piece that was used by Empress Lu and her family and then abandoned without hesitation, as if she was watching the life of the original owner.

Compared to Miss Lu who was killed by the Liu family at the banquet to vent their anger, the original owner's life was just lonely and she died young, which didn't seem so miserable.

In this chessboard, even though Empress Lü is now the player, she was once a chess piece that could be abandoned.

The original owner, the abandoned chess piece, will become the new chess player in the future, and her puppet son will be the new emperor.

The puppet obeys his wishes in everything. It can be said that it is a tool that completely inherits his will. He will be a cover for Zhang Yan to enter the court as a man.

Zhang Yan's puppet son was named Liu Jing. As he grew up, Empress Lu's health became weaker and weaker, and she wanted to hold on to power more and more.

When Liu Jing was eight years old, Empress Lü died.

Before Empress Lü's mourning period was over, the Lü family began to test Zhang Yan's intentions and tried to control Zhang Yan and her son.

Zhang Yan waited until Empress Lu's mourning period was over, and then took direct action to deal with the Lu family. Her arguments were well-reasoned and convincing.

It is not uncommon for those who really disobey the order to be killed by robbers on the road.

For this reason, Zhang Yan's biological mother, Princess Lu Yuan, came to the palace and criticized Zhang Yan harshly.

Zhang Yan is not the original owner, so I won’t spoil her.

"Have you finished speaking? If you are finished, please leave! Do not enter the palace again without being summoned."

Princess Lu Yuan was furious, "Rebellious girl!"

"Humph, you have a good mother who loves you, but Zhang Yan is unlucky and only has a mother who treats her as a tool."

Zhang Yan looked at Lu Yuan sarcastically, thinking in her mind how to deal with this woman.

So, on the way back home, Lu Yuan's carriage suddenly lost control and he had to stay in bed for a long time from then on.

Zhang Yan was "furious" and ordered a thorough investigation. In the end, the clues pointed to the Lu family, resulting in another bloody storm.

In the end, except for the lineage of General Lu Lu, who had always been stable, and a few clansmen who did not bully others, all the rest of the Lu family were punished.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan's decisive move to delegate power was unanimously praised by the government and the Liu family. They didn't know that Zhang Yan was just a puppet and hid behind the scenes.

Ten years later, Zhang Yan received praise from the original owner.

She used the power of the wood spirit to give the puppet Liu Jing his own life. From then on, the Han Emperor Liu Jing had real life and thoughts.

Yuchuan left this world, stepped into the time tunnel, and headed for the next mission.
