Quick Wear: I and the Female Match Share the Battle Shirt

After listening to Wu Zetian's story, Xie Yuanshuang was stunned for a long time.

That was a path she had never thought of and dared not think of. Not to mention her identity as a woman, but sitting on the throne of the Xiao family as a member of the Xie family, how could this be considered as usurping the throne? This was a serious crime against the three tribes.

Seeing that Xie Yuanshuang had been silent, Lu Changqing asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I wonder if I did that, would it be considered usurping the throne?"

"Only the nobles in this world care about who sits on the dragon throne. The common people don't care about so much. As long as they can have enough food and clothing and live a peaceful and stable life, it doesn't matter to them whether the person on the dragon throne is a woman or a man, or whether his surname is Xie or Xiao."

Xie Yuanshuang suddenly said: "Even if I want to, my father won't help me."

"Your father? Do you think it's easy for a woman to be an emperor in such an evil society? You just listened to my story about Empress Wu. Have you ever calculated how long it took her to enter politics and ascend the throne? Nearly thirty years! What a concept. Not many people can live to this age. To put it bluntly, if you really have that intention, it's hard to say whether your father will still be around when you come to power." Lu Changqing said indifferently.

"What are you still hesitating about? Since you are heartless, I will give up. Do you want to repeat the same mistake and die at the hands of a man again?" Lu Changqing said as he pushed Xie Yuanshuang in front of the bronze mirror and asked her to look at the woman with red and swollen eyes in the mirror. "Look at what you look like now. You are here feeling sad for a man, but where is he? Maybe he is in the study painting for his sweetheart. Think about it, the room full of your portraits in the last life is replaced with another woman's portrait. Don't you just feel jealous and not disgusted with men at all?"

Xie Yuanshuang looked at his tired face in the mirror and tightened his sleeves.

Seeing Xie Yuanshuang struggling, Lu Changqing knew her words were starting to work, and continued to coax her, "The prince has already betrayed the oath you made to each other. You've experienced how shameless a man can be when he's ruthless in your previous life. In this life, you're not the general's wife, but the prince's consort who you can't divorce even if you die. If the prince abandons you after ascending the throne and asks you to make room for someone else, what do you think will be your fate?"

"There are only zero and countless times for men to cheat. Once they have tasted the sweetness of it, they will never look back. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see if your prince will be like he said, only this time, there will be no next time."

Xie Yuanshuang looked up at Lu Changqing, "I understand what you said. Now that things have come to this, I no longer expect him to be loyal to me. I'm just a little afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

"The path you pointed out for me is too difficult. I am afraid that I am not capable enough to achieve what you expect."

"It would be best if you have the means and courage, but if not, that's okay. As long as you understand that power is more reliable than men, and that you are more important than anyone else, and stop relying on men and throwing yourself at men, that's fine."

Lu Changqing continued, "Take your time. You still have a lot of time. As long as the father and son die when they should, there will be people who can push you to that position. Even if you can't be the Martial Emperor, you can always settle for being Empress Dowager Liu."

Xie Yuanshuang did not ask when she would die. She intuitively felt that this time would not be too long. What she needed to do now was to generously forgive the prince, reconcile with him, and continue to be his good wife.

The palace maid who was forcibly taken by the prince was named Le Qiong. She was placed by Xie Yuanshuang in Yuqing Pavilion not far from Pifang Pavilion. Xie Yuanshuang did not make things difficult for her, nor did he stop the prince from visiting her.

So Xie Yuanshuang was not surprised at all when good news came from Yuqing Pavilion three months later.

Although the prince summoned Le Qiong secretly without Xie Yuanshuang's knowledge, with Lu Changqing as the human surveillance camera, the prince's betrayal could not escape her eyes. She did not hide anything for the prince. Every time the prince looked for Le Qiong, she told Xie Yuanshuang.

The prince held Xie Yuanshuang's hand again and kept apologizing: "Yuanshuang, I'm sorry, I didn't think that she would get pregnant that time. If you don't want her to give birth, I will have someone use medicine to abort the baby in her belly."

Lu Changqing, who was driven out of the house, rolled her eyes at the eaves above her head. He was still lying until now. She knew that the prince was shameless, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless.

It was clearly his own fault, but Xie Yuanshuang was made to be the bad guy. What's more, he said that if Xie Yuanshuang didn't want the baby, she should be aborted. It made it sound as if Xie Yuanshuang was jealous and couldn't tolerate the child.

What a disgusting bastard, he clearly wanted to keep the child, but he didn't want to admit his selfishness and heartlessness, so he forced Xie Yuanshuang to make a choice for him.

If a man wants both a huge amount of gold and a chastity arch, he is just a cheap man!

Xie Yuanshuang had expected this situation to happen, but she didn't expect that the prince would use this method to make her accept the child he had with another woman.

If she really couldn't tolerate Feng Yi and the child in her belly, what would outsiders say about her if it got out?

The prince is shameless, but she still has dignity.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the prince hugged Xie Yuanshuang with a look of relief, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!"

Out of the sight of the prince, Xie Yuanshuang put away the smile on her face. Since her husband wanted nothing more, why did she break her oath again and again?

Unlike the lifeless East Palace, the emperor's harem is quite lively. Yu Zheng, who has only been in the palace for a few months, has rocketed from a talented person to a concubine.

Yu Zheng didn't want to, but since he entered the palace, he was the only one favored by the emperor. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, but the emperor favored him alone. He also advised the emperor to treat everyone equally, but the emperor refused to listen.

He is not Ka Fei, he really can't be happy at all!

Just imagine how much it feels for a young man in his twenties to be constantly oppressed by a pot-bellied old man in his forties.

The wild system comforted him and told him that if he treated himself as a woman, there would not be so many problems.

Yu Zheng was speechless. Even if he imagined himself as a woman, it was still difficult for him to accept an old man with wrinkles all over his face, sagging skin and a baby bump!

The wild system said indifferently: "After all, you just think he's too old. The prince has always been thinking about you. When the old emperor dies and the prince takes the throne, your good days will come."

It’s a good life for God XX. If it weren’t for the 50 million, Yu Zheng would have quit long ago.

The wild system coaxed, "Do your job as a national evil queen well. If you can complete this time-travel mission ahead of schedule, I can apply to the higher-ups to give you an extra 20 million as a bonus."

Yu Zheng's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. You've read a lot of system novels, right? Money is useless to our system. In our eyes, no matter how much money you have, it's just a string of numbers."

At this point, Yu Zheng couldn't help but become curious. He had never asked the system why it wanted him to destroy a dynasty before. Now that he thought about it, he asked.

The Wild System's voice suddenly turned cold. "This is not something you can ask about. Just complete your task well and don't ask about other things."

Yu Zheng was not convinced and muttered a few words in his heart, then asked: "What should I do now? I can't just keep sleeping with the old man and wait for him to die, right?"

The old emperor is only in his forties. Even if he lives to be fifty, he will still have to be slept with for several years.

"Didn't I just tell you that the prince is still waiting for you? Can't you set up a fight between the father and son?"

Yu Zheng suddenly realized, "Yes, why didn't I think of that." Then he said worriedly, "What if the prince loses?"

"Wouldn't it be better to lose?"

Yu Zheng was stunned. "What...what do you mean? Do you really want me to sleep with an old man?"

"In old age, even the most diligent emperors will become lazy. Nine out of ten emperors will become incompetent. Moreover, the old emperor himself is not a very wise and diligent person. Isn't an old and incompetent man easier to control than a young man with great ambitions?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

"Yes, yes, you always think of the same thing. Can't you use your brain more?"

Yu Zheng, who was originally in a good mood, immediately became depressed when he heard the system's words. This system was always like this. It would start to dislike him after just a few words.

"We must make the previous dynasty unstable. The more chaotic the better."

Let the prince's party and the royalist party fight each other. It would be best if they fight to the death and both suffer losses. The prince will be eliminated, and the position of crown prince will be vacant. Then the second round of battle for the throne will begin. It would be best if they can fight directly internally.

Peasant uprisings, warlord infighting, people's livelihood is in dire straits, and all lives are destroyed. This is the result that the system most wants.

Yu Zheng was a little confused. "Will the prince really fight with his father for me? After all, he is the prince, and will be the emperor in the future. It's not worth it for him to offend his father for a woman."

Yu Zheng thought about it from another perspective. If it were him, even if the woman was as beautiful as a fairy, he would not fight with the emperor at such a critical moment.

"You also said that he is the crown prince. As long as the emperor is alive, he will always be the crown prince, and will always be inferior to his father. Who can be willing to be the second forever when there is a chance to be the number one? At this time, if someone whispers in his ear and tells him how good that position is, and that as long as he can sit in that position, there will be no one in the world who can hold him back, do you think he will risk his life for the woman he loves?"

The wild system had a beautiful idea, and Yu Zheng was also very capable, and he quickly hooked up with the prince. The two of them exchanged glances under the old emperor's nose.

Although he did not take any more extreme actions, the act of seducing his father's woman right under his father's nose made the prince feel very novel and excited.

Yu Zheng and the prince often exchanged letters. Lu Changqing sneaked into the prince's study and looked through it. Yu Zheng's replies were mostly some inspirational quotes at first, but later on they were all memoirs of the Eastern Palace, recalling every moment he spent with the prince in the Eastern Palace.

Lu Changqing was so disgusted by the cheesy words in Yu Zheng's letter that she got goosebumps all over the floor. Doesn't the prince like beautiful women? She really wanted to know how the prince would react if he knew that the soul in that body was a man.

Le Qiong of Yuqing Pavilion gave birth to a son. The prince completely ignored Le Qiong's pleas and gave the child to Xie Yuanshuang to raise.

The Crown Prince's repeated betrayals over the past year had left Xie Yuanshuang with very little affection for him. She acted like a good wife and mother in front of him just to make her position more secure and protect herself from being gossiped by others. She was not stupid. The child's biological mother was still alive, and she had two children of her own. Why should she help raise someone else's son?

Xie Yuanshuang rejected the prince's request, but gave him an idea, asking him to raise Le Qiong's position so that she could raise the child by herself and outsiders would have nothing to say.

Not long after, Xie Yuanshuang's mother came to the palace to visit her and the children. She blamed Xie Yuanshuang for being confused about Le Qiong's child and said, "You should keep the child and let him grow up with the prince. He will be able to help the prince in the future."

"Mother, I think you are confused. The reason why my children were given names and titles by His Majesty so quickly is because they have a mother like me. In this palace, sons are honored by their mothers. Le Qiong is just the daughter of a butcher. How can I count on her for a son?"

The Prime Minister's wife advised earnestly: "You can't say that. After all, the prince only has this one brother now. It's always a good thing for brothers to be more harmonious."

"The guy from Fangzhou seemed to be on good terms with the prince, but what happened?" Xie Yuanshuang sneered, "Talking about harmony in the royal family? Have you forgotten how Taizu massacred the prince's mansion in order to take back the military power from his brothers? Even brothers are like this, let alone brothers who are not born from the same mother."

The Prime Minister's wife's eyes turned red as she looked at Xie Yuanshuang who was speaking in a somewhat aggressive manner, "Shuang'er, you have changed."

Xie Yuanshuang glanced at his mother, and instead of trying to comfort her like he did before, he said calmly, "Mom, the royal family is different from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Dad's position as Prime Minister cannot be inherited, so his sons naturally want to unite as much as possible for the sake of family glory. But it's different here. Here, as long as you are born into a good family, everything will be fine."

Xie Yuanshuang would not take the initiative to embarrass Le Qiong and her son, including the concubines and sons after the crown prince, but if someone was reckless and wanted to snatch things from her, don't blame her for being rude.

She has already given up the man, and she is unwilling and unable to give up other things, for the sake of her two children and for herself.

Xie Yuanshuang thought a lot during this period. She felt that she should thank Qi Cheng. If he had not hurt her so deeply in her previous life, making her see the heartless and disloyal nature of a scumbag, she would not have accepted the prince's betrayal so quickly in this life.

Of course, she should thank another person more. If it weren't for Lu Changqing's constant admonition and guidance, she couldn't imagine what she would do after being betrayed by her lover again after her rebirth.

Did she die of depression? Or did she commit suicide because she was sad and grief-stricken? It's hard to say, but she couldn't pick up a knife and die together with the unfaithful man.

She didn't dare. There were more than a hundred people in the Xie family and tens of thousands of lives in the whole clan. She didn't have that courage.

This is the power of the supreme imperial authority. Ever since he escaped from the whirlpool of emotions, Xie Yuanshuang has been longing for such power.

What disappointed the wild system was that the prince did not have the courage to go against his father. The prince thought very clearly that he was already the prince, and if nothing unexpected happened, the throne would definitely be his in the future. There was no need to increase the difficulty of the copy for a woman.

But what makes the wild system happy is that, under Yu Zheng's advice, the old emperor plans to build a temporary palace in Suzhou, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Although this emperor was not very capable, his ministers were still quite capable. When they heard about the emperor's outrageous actions, most of them jumped out to stop it.

The ministers gave various persuasion, arguing for several days in the morning court, from the perspectives of the empty treasury and the waste of money and the need to recuperate and restore the economy. However, the old emperor did not listen to the persuasion at all and insisted on starting the construction of the house. In the end, the persuasion was fruitless, and the court imposed more taxes and corvée on the people on the pretext of building a temporary palace.

When Xie Yuanshuang heard about this, he sighed to Lu Changqing, "It's really arbitrary. No wonder all these men want to be emperors. Even I am beginning to envy them."
