The mental state is beautiful

Chapter 166 Extra - Do You Know Princess Yan 8

Yuzhou Zhao Zongquan's family has no future and can only stay in Yuzhou and continue to live in decadence.

Prince Yong has calmed down now, but Princess Yong has not given up. After all, why should she accept her fate as a prince when she can become the emperor? Princess Yong wants to give birth to a legitimate son to help Prince Yong increase his chances of becoming the emperor.

Under the lobbying of Princess Yong, some families have indeed begun to stand on the side of Prince Yong. Among them, the Duke of Qi's Mansion, as the husband's family of Princess Jiacheng, is naturally a party of Prince Yong.

The reason why Princess Yan kept Prince Yong's family until now was, firstly, to give the emperor and the court officials the illusion that Prince Yong and Prince Yan were balancing each other, and secondly, to use the current actions of Prince Yong's party, which were jumping up and down and forming cliques, to highlight the "non-contention" of Prince Yan's party. Now, the emperor's heart was already with Prince Yan's party, and for Prince Yan, non-contention was contention.

Now, Princess Jiacheng and Qi Heng are on bad terms. Although Princess Pingning feels sorry for her increasingly haggard son, she still tolerates Princess Jiacheng's background.

If Prince Yong wins, Qi Heng will be the prince consort for sure. Although his future official career may be hampered because of this, his title will definitely not be low, and he won't have to worry about the future of his offspring.

Princess Yan looked at Princess Pingning's schemes. How could she have imagined that Princess Jiacheng had already been given a special infertility drug? The lineage of the Yong Palace would not have any descendants.

Prince Yong, who had already lost his "ambition", became interested again after being persuaded by his wife and daughter. He knew very well that he did not have the advantage of offspring, nor did he have the merit of Prince Yan in finding high-yield grain varieties, and his reputation was not as good as Prince Yan's.

Therefore, Prince Yong planned to rebel, but he had no support from within the palace, so he did not dare to act rashly for the time being.

When Princess Yan learned of Prince Yong's plan, she felt that this was a good opportunity to get rid of the Queen.

So Prince Yong "smoothly" got in touch with the Queen, who readily agreed. The Queen, who had been childless for many years, did not want to find a new Emperor who no longer needed her as soon as he ascended the throne. In order to ensure her unique status, she dared to collude with the previous dynasty and made the Emperor childless. How could she not dare to rebel now?

Power is dizzying. If Queen Cao becomes the empress dowager, she will definitely restrain the lineage of Prince Yan at every turn, so there should be no empress dowager this time!

A month later, Prince Yong was ready for rebellion, and Prince Yan was also prepared.

Prince Yan knew that Prince Yong was planning to rebel, so he pretended to be sick and asked for leave to avoid the day of his rebellion.

At the court meeting, Prince Yong held the emperor hostage and ordered him to write a decree of succession to him in public. The emperor placed his hopes on the queen, but he didn't expect that the queen and Prince Yong would work together from within.

This time, it was Concubine Rong who stayed by the emperor's side and helped him through the difficult times. The emperor asked the eunuch to find a way to leave the palace and ask Prince Yan for help, while he tried to persuade the queen to come back.

Prince Yan pretended to be still sick, and rushed into the palace with his soldiers with a pale face. In the hall, Zichang shot Prince Yong to death with one arrow, followed by Ziyang and Zitao. The three brothers cooperated tacitly and quickly killed the thief.

Prince Yan pretended to be exhausted and knelt on the ground in a hurry, his face pale. "I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing this, the emperor immediately asked the imperial physician to treat him.

Fortunately, in order to pretend to be sick, Prince Yan took a cold shower and froze himself to death. The emperor learned from the imperial physician that Prince Yan was indeed seriously ill, and only then did he completely dispel his suspicions.

Prince Yong and his followers were beheaded on the spot, and Princess Yong and Princess Jiacheng were also ordered to be executed.

When Empress Cao was deposed, the Cao family also suffered.

As for the Mansion of the Duke of Qi, it naturally could not escape the disaster. After all, Princess Pingning was both the adopted daughter of Empress Cao and a supporter of Prince Yong's party, so the Mansion of the Duke of Qi was confiscated and exiled.

The emperor felt that he did not have much time left, so while he was still able to attend court, he directly announced that Prince Yan would be named the crown prince and announced the accession edict in public.

This time, the Prince of Yan ascended the throne smoothly and legitimately. The Princess of Yan was named the Queen, the eldest son Zhao Xu was named the Crown Prince, the eldest daughter Zhao Lingxi was named the Princess of Yong'an, and the second sons Zhao Yang and Zhao Chen were named the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Chen respectively.

The other concubines of Princess Yan also entered the palace to live out their old age and were given titles of beauties, but this was just a formality to silence the gossips.

Prince Yan became an official and served Emperor Chengzong of Song. With the joint efforts of him and Crown Prince Zhao Xu, the trend of emphasizing culture over military affairs was greatly improved, and the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was just around the corner.

This time, Molan brought a fairly generous dowry into the Earl of Yongchang's mansion. On the wedding night, Chun Ke wanted to make trouble again. Liang Han had found true love now, and he felt guilty towards Molan because of Chun Ke's matter. How could he tolerate Chun Ke humiliating Molan?

Later, Chun Ke repeatedly caused trouble and failed. There was no need for Molan to do it herself, so Liang Han stepped in front of her.

Mrs. Zhang was amazed at this situation, and lamented that Liang Han's feelings for Molan were not just based on beauty but true love.

Madam Zhang, who already liked Molan, became even more satisfied with Molan after seeing Liang Han start to study hard and practice martial arts for Molan.

Seeing that Liang Han was really making progress, the eldest son of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion was worried that this would affect the outcome of his succession to the title, and they wanted to use Chun Ke to continue causing trouble and drag Liang Han into it.

Who knew that Chun Ke was already worried about Liang Han's neglect of her, and she had not rested well for a long time, had no appetite, and the fetus was already very weak. When Chun Ke met her cousin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, she was so excited that she miscarried.

The noise was so loud that Madam Zhang arrived in time and caught the two of them red-handed. The blame for Chun Ke's miscarriage must be placed on the concubine's eldest son's family.

Liang Han was sad that his child was gone, and he also knew that it was all Chun Ke's fault. Liang Han, who no longer loved Chun Ke, didn't know whether to be sad or relieved for a moment, but the last bit of guilt he had towards Chun Ke had dissipated.

Minglan has already married Gu Tingye. When she learned that Chunke's miscarriage had nothing to do with Sheng Molan, she found it unbelievable and very unwilling to accept it.

Gu Tingye didn't understand why Minglan was so paranoid now. What he needed was a virtuous wife who could help him, not a crazy woman who stared at other people's houses all day long and hoped that things would get out of hand so that she could watch the fun.

After much deliberation, Gu Tingye gave up the idea of ​​letting Minglan and Rong Jie'er get close, as he was worried that Rong Jie'er would be led astray.

A year later, Zhang Guifen of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion married her childhood sweetheart, General Zheng. The Duke of Yingguo and General Zheng are now the main forces following the prince in his battles.

Another year passed. In the Earl of Yongchang's mansion, Molan gave birth to a son, Liang Han passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Madam Zhang was smiling all day long. Her two sons were doing well now and she didn't need to worry about them all day long. She just enjoyed playing with her grandchildren.

Aunt Kang had been having a hard time in recent years, so she went to the Sheng family to spread rumors, causing chaos in the Sheng family. The eldest lady was soft-hearted, so she listened to Aunt Kang's words and started lending money at high interest rates.

Rulan finally married and moved to another place. Her husband was a friend of her brother Changbai, who was considered a young talent.

The fact that the eldest lady lent money at high interest rates could not be concealed after all, and the Sheng family did not dare to commit such a serious crime that could result in the death penalty.

Sheng Hong and Chang Bai first resolved the issue of the loan sharking money, and then planned to send the lady back to her hometown to retire.

The eldest lady did not beat or scold Changbai this time, because Rulan was now being exiled with her husband to Youyang, the hometown of the Sheng family.

After she goes there, the lady won't have to worry about no one to take care of her, and she can also take care of her daughter Rulan, who has no elders around and is now pregnant, killing two birds with one stone.

The lady, who always listened to her children, happily set out on the journey to Youyang.

Among all the children of the Sheng family, Minglan is the only one who lives the most unhappy life. She cannot let go of her hatred. As for what Sheng Hong said about the transaction between Old Lady Sheng and Wei Xiaoniang, Minglan subconsciously knows that it is true, but she cannot accept this fact.

The confused Minglan had no intention of managing her marriage with Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye was already frustrated, and seeing that his wife was still indifferent to him, he missed the deceased Zhu Manniang even more, and became more concerned about Rong Jie'er.

The relationship between the two finally reached freezing point when Minglan called Qi Heng's name in her sleep.

The title of Ningyuan Marquis was eventually inherited by Gu Tingwei. Gu Tingye's official career was not going well, and he no longer hoped to live a good life with Minglan. He wanted to leave a descendant for himself, so he took in another concubine, Aunt Xiu.

The former Princess of Yan, now the Queen, smiled elegantly and gave Gu Tingye and Minglan a special pregnancy-inhibiting pill.

A few years later, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun had been recovered, and the overall strength of the Song Dynasty had been greatly improved.

Zhao Xu's crown princess was chosen to be the granddaughter of the current Minister of the Central Secretariat, Song Qingyi. This was the wife Zhao Xu had chosen, and the emperor and the queen were very satisfied.

The legitimate princess Yong'an was betrothed to Su Nian'an, the legitimate son of the Qinghe family, which had been a noble family for generations. The emperor even joked that the names of the two children matched very well and it was a destiny made in heaven.

Another five years passed, and the queen already had a grandson and a grandson-in-law. The emperor's health was not as good as before, and he had begun to hand over government affairs to the prince to handle personally, and he only did inspections.

The Queen knew that the Emperor's affairs had only been going on for the past few years.

Now Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye's lives have become a mess. Last year, Rong Jie'er got married. After passing the imperial examination, Chang chose to be an official in a remote area, and Rong Jie'er followed him.

Gu Tingye's only daughter left him, and he still has no other children, so he becomes increasingly intolerant of Minglan.

When Gu Tingye took a concubine, Sheng Minglan sold one. "You gave all the money in the family to Rong Jie'er as a dowry. How can we have the spare money to support a concubine?"

"Sister Rong is my only child, so what's wrong with a larger dowry? Sheng Minglan, you've been married to me for so many years, and the fact that you have no children is enough for me to divorce you. You've also made our home a mess, how can you act like a wife?"

Speaking of being childless, Minglan felt very aggrieved. She didn't know why she just couldn't get pregnant.

Gu Tingye already had two children, so everyone knew that the problem was with Minglan.

Minglan's most hated Molan now lives with a loving couple, a son and a daughter, and gets along well with her husband's and her own families. But Sheng Minglan somehow ends up living like this.

Gu Tingye was impatient to see Minglan's bitter face, and slammed the door and walked out. Minglan sat there blankly, thinking about her past, and felt that it was a joke.

Two years later, the emperor died of old age, the queen became the empress dowager, the crown prince Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and the crown princess Song Qingyi became the new queen.

The Queen Mother knew that the end of the mission was not far away. Now the life of the original male and female protagonists was not difficult, but it was definitely not easy or happy.

Having seen enough of Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan torturing each other, the Queen Mother plans to send them away.

At night, Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye started quarreling again for some reason. In their panic, the candlesticks they knocked over burned the bed curtains, and soon the whole room was surrounded by flames.

After the fire was brought under control by neighbors, everyone discovered that Gu Tingye and his wife had died in the fire.

All the concubines of Gu Tingye who were sold out before were very happy when they heard the news, especially Aunt Qiu who was sold out by Sheng Minglan the day before the incident. As much as she hated Sheng Minglan in the past, she was grateful to her now.

The Empress Dowager laughed. Sheng Minglan could never have imagined that someone would be grateful to her for this reason?

At this point, all the original owner's wishes have been fulfilled.

Seeing that all her children have started their own families, have both sons and daughters, and are busy with their own careers or families, the Queen Mother chose to leave this world on a quiet night.

After stepping into the time tunnel, Yuchuan is looking forward to the next mission location. He wonders who will be the next person to pray?
