As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Fu Bei saw Shen Lanyue stop and stood still, and asked in confusion: "Madam?"

Shen Lanyue tightened her fingers briefly, lowered her brows, raised her eyelids and asked him.

"How confident are you today?"

Her certainty and the calmness in her eyes as she looked at him contained something extremely deep and unfathomable.

Fu Bei was slightly stunned. He felt that at this moment his wife gave him the feeling of a marquis, the kind who had already seen through everything but would not reveal his emotions until the very last step.

He bowed his head and said, "Madam, I am 100% sure."

Shen Lanyue looked at him deeply, her gaze lingering on him for a long time, and she felt relieved.

She no longer hesitated and said to Fu Bei, "Let's go."

Fu Bei didn't ask her why she stopped, nor why she chose to leave after asking this question.

Shen Lanyue's expression was slightly restrained, and there was a hint of ripples in her face.

She knows!

Meng Changce will kill Li Wenxuan just like he did in his previous life, and then the eldest princess will appear with the imperial edict containing the decree of succession.

It would not be Li Xuli, but Li Yi. He would become the regent once again, and the last trace of his relationship with the palace would be completely severed with the death of Li Wenxuan.

…………

Emperor Yingde's banquet turned into a shocking scene of treason, and it was difficult to tell what was true and what was false.

No matter whether it is the crown prince or Prince Sheng, it will be a catastrophe for all civil and military officials. The sudden death of Emperor Yingde, the assassination by the assassins, and the death of Prince Sheng are no longer trivial matters.

Marquis Changning took control of the chaotic situation, and Prince Jingyang, who arrived shortly afterwards, also brought the Imperial Guards to completely control the situation.

Originally, the matter was to be handled by the crown prince, but this incident also involved the crown prince's party, and the queen mother, who arrived late, fainted on the spot due to the shock when she learned of the terrible news.

For a time, the emperor and his subjects were leaderless.

Only the Queen can make the decision, with Prince Jingyang and Marquis Changning as assistants, and the case will be tried by the three courts.

The Empress immediately ordered the arrest of Concubine Xian, Prince Sheng's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Mansion were sealed off, and Prime Minister Sun and others were placed under strict guard.

The sky was bright, Shen Lanyue stood in the yard, looking at the rising sunrise, her eyes seemed completely attracted.

Fanfan stood not far away, holding the cloak in his arms, and felt flustered for a moment.

She felt as if her lady was very far away from her, so far that they were in two different spaces. She stood there alone, feeling lonely, helpless and sad.

Fanfan couldn't wait to run up to her, put his cloak on her, stared at her and said, "Madam, you have been standing for a long time. You should go back to the house and rest for a while."

Shen Lanyue's eyes moved slightly, she turned around and looked at the nervous Fanfan, and smiled slightly.

"I'm fine. Things are going to change in the capital."

"But we still have the Marquis, he will definitely protect you."

Fanfan looked up at the secret guards around the yard and the guards who were taking shifts at the gate. Their affirmative tone and determined gaze showed her thoughts.

Shen Lanyue laughed.

After one night, the palace was in chaos and everyone was in danger.

The first news that Concubine Xian received was not about Li Wenxuan's success or failure, but that Li Wenxuan was shot dead by Meng Changce with an arrow.

The whole person is crazy.

When the Queen's people found Concubine Xian's palace, she did not go anywhere. She even dressed herself exquisitely and elegantly and sat on a stool waiting for the Queen's arrival.

"I didn't lose to you, Zheng Shuheng!" Concubine Xian laughed and sneered at the queen: "So what if you are the queen? The emperor is wary of you, resentful of you, and hates you."

The Queen remained expressionless, just standing there and watching Concubine Xian go crazy with cold eyes.

The virtuous concubine chuckled, tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear, slowly raised her eyes, and looked into her eyes with sarcasm and sneering.

"Zheng Shuheng, do you think your child died?"

The queen's eyes flickered, and the atmosphere around her turned several degrees colder.

The people who followed wanted to bury themselves underground for fear of hearing something they shouldn't hear.

"Xianfei." The queen's lips curled slightly, looking at her as if she was a joke and calling her: "I am the queen, whether I have children or not, I will be the queen mother. I don't care anymore. I am the only woman of Zheng family, and no one can surpass me."

"Over the years, I have looked at you like a dying ant. It would be easy for me to crush you to death with just a flick of my finger."

The virtuous concubine was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips, with an unspeakable bitterness in her eyes.

She stood up and looked at the queen. She stared at the queen from a distance, her shoulders trembling slightly.

The people around the Queen stood in front of Concubine Xian, fearing that she would go crazy and hurt the Queen. Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The virtuous concubine took the poison early in the morning.

The queen pushed the people away, frowned, looked at the virtuous concubine holding her stomach, and laughed.

Beauty withers.

The palace maid stepped forward and sniffed the air, then shook her head at the queen.

"Report to Marquis Changning." The queen didn't even look at her. She turned around and left with her people indifferently.

The situation in the palace had quietly changed. The Queen realized that the Marquis of Changning, whom she had always ignored, had already taken control of the power in the capital and even had a thorough understanding of the palace.

What she is most worried about now is whether Meng Changce will deal with Li Xuli.

After the accident, she sent a message to the Zheng family immediately, but received no response. His summons of Zheng Chengsi made her even more angry.

"Aunt, don't worry, everything will be safe in the palace."

Concubine Xian's suicide by taking poison did not affect Prince Sheng's crime of treason, but instead made his crime even more serious.

The evidence Meng Changce mentioned was the evidence of treason provided by Prime Minister Yang and the correspondence, which included his conspiracy with Prime Minister Sun and the poison given to Concubine Xian.

A maid in Concubine Xian's palace, who was also arranged by Meng Changce in the palace a long time ago, demonstrated the whole process of Concubine Xian and her personal maid Mei Ju giving the emperor drugs.

The evidence was conclusive and it was confirmed that Prince Sheng was indeed plotting treason, so Prime Minister Sun was convicted and his property was confiscated.

All the personnel in Prince Sheng's Mansion were taken into the palace awaiting trial.

One thing was settled, but the country could not be without a leader for a day, and Li Xuli could have ascended the throne. However, there were many opinions among the officials about the prince.

Just as all officials were arguing, Li Xuli took the initiative to say that he was unwilling to succeed to the throne and resigned from the position of crown prince.

This caused even more confusion, as there was no candidate for the prince who could ascend the throne. The people who were arguing were suddenly panicked and came to comfort each other.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive! National affairs are of utmost importance and this is not the time to argue over a moment's anger."

But no matter how the officials persuaded him, Li Xuli was unwilling to ascend the throne.

Just when all the officials were at a loss, the eldest princess' voice came from outside the door.

"My brother has a secret decree in my palace."

The ministers turned around and looked at the eldest princess who had arrived late, the imperial edict in her hand, and the eunuch Tang Hai beside her.

Only Meng Changce narrowed his eyes slightly, and the curve of his mouth corners deepened in mystery.
