I traveled to a very nice farm, and I was so happy to fight evil with evil

Xiao Jingchen also found out that a trusted nanny around Concubine Song not only had problems, but also gave the emperor a chronic poison.

Every time the emperor went to the imperial concubine's palace, the maid would light some kind of incense.

When mixed with the spices commonly used by the emperor, it will produce a chronic toxin.

And now the emperor has been severely poisoned and is falling ill.

But the situation is not as dangerous as Lu Shao’s previous life. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will have no problem living for another ten or eight years.

But the prerequisite is that you can no longer work hard and can only rest well.

The emperor felt something was wrong since he fell ill. After receiving Xiao Jingchen's report, he couldn't help but take his anger out on the imperial concubine and the fifth prince.

There was no way. These two people were exploited so thoroughly by the rebels that even he was killed.

Then Concubine Hui in the palace suddenly fell into the water and died. She was murdered, and all the clues and evidence pointed to Concubine Song.

The emperor took this opportunity to directly demote Concubine Song from a first-rank concubine to a fifth-rank talent.

The fifth prince went to plead for mercy, but was scolded.

The Song family was also reprimanded by the emperor in the court.

They also found out some of the things that the Song family had done, and used this as an excuse to demote them from their official positions.

This made many people realize that things were about to change.

Sure enough, not long after, the Eighth Prince was assassinated by thieves while riding in a carriage to the outskirts of the capital.

But the evidence pointed to the fifth prince.

The fifth prince felt that he died unjustly and that he had done nothing wrong.

Although because Lao Ba took the initiative to assassinate Qiao Ye and his wife, he completely stopped trusting Lao Ba.

But he was not yet going to kill him.

Then he took the initiative to go to the palace to complain to his father, saying that he was wronged.

The emperor told the true identity of the eighth prince and what he had done using mother and son.

The fifth prince was shocked and broke out in cold sweat.

Only then did he understand why his mother and her clan were successively demoted.

It turned out that he was completely exploited by the fake Lao Ba.

At the same time, he also knew that he would no longer have a chance to be emperor.

He also hated the fake Eighth Prince to the core. If the old Eighth Prince was not dead at this moment, he would definitely kill him with his own hands.

The emperor placed the fifth prince under house arrest on the grounds of the eighth prince's death.

But things were not going well in Fuzhou.

Although it was found that the second son of Duke Rong was indeed suspicious, they failed to arrest him.

The second son of Duke Rong found something wrong and ran away early.

Because it ran from the sea, it is difficult to find.

The emperor and Xiao Jingchen were afraid that something unexpected might happen over there.

Sure enough, not long after, some very bad news came from Fuzhou.

While on patrol by boat, Duke Rong and his son were surrounded and killed by Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates joined forces with some powerful pirates at sea and began to invade Fuzhou and other coastal areas.

The navy suffered successive defeats in its fight against the Japanese pirates, resulting in not only many casualties among the generals but also the suffering of the people living along the coast.

When the emperor received the news, he was so angry that his condition worsened and he was bedridden.

If we don't send General Deli to resist, we will be in big trouble.

The emperor was bedridden and unable to attend court to handle official business, so he had to let the crown prince handle state affairs.

As for the person to be sent to Fuzhou, the emperor thought of Qiao Yu, who was recuperating in the capital, and who was also Dayin's lucky general.

However, he did not appoint him directly, but let the crown prince do it.

The emperor was a wise ruler, and the crown prince had always been his carefully cultivated and recognized heir.

Even the emperor was afraid of death, so he handed over power to the prince bit by bit, and he recuperated in the palace.

If the fake Eighth Prince was not dead, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. It turned out that he had made so many arrangements but ended up making things easier for the Crown Prince.

Although the prince did not directly inherit the throne, he became the real ruler of Dayin.

The emperor told him everything about the fake Old Eight and also handed over the Secret Guards and the Flying Dragon Guards to him.

So he handled official business on behalf of the emperor, and the first thing he did was to appoint Qiao Yu as the new marshal of the navy and immediately go to Fuzhou to resist foreign enemies.

When Qiao Yu was suddenly entrusted with such an important task, he wanted to do more.

For example, building a strong navy would prevent Western powers from invading again.

Without delay, Qiao Yu said goodbye to his sister and brother-in-law, then rushed to Fuzhou with a team of trusted men transferred from the border.

After the prince came to power, he not only reused Qiao Yu, but also reused Lu Shao.

He was sent to Qiongzhou as a fifth-rank prefect.

The other princes' descendants were naturally suppressed.

Although the fifth prince was no longer under house arrest, he became an idle and powerless prince.

Song Shaoyang was sent by the prince to a barren land to serve as a county magistrate.

Coincidentally, Lu Shao and Song Shaoyang were assigned together.

The departure time from Beijing is the same.

Everyone speculated that the prince was deliberately trying to annoy the Fifth Prince and Song Shaoyang.

After all, his malaria was closely related to the Fifth Prince and the other two.

The prince was magnanimous enough not to kill the two people.

Qiao Ye naturally had to follow Lu Shao to Qiongzhou, so the new workshop she opened was handed over to the Lu family.

Now the toiletries produced in her workshop, such as shampoo, hair growth agent, toothpaste, etc., are in complete short supply.

One day before leaving Beijing, Qiao Xiaolian came to see Qiao Ye.

Qiao Ye took the time to meet the other party.

After Qiao Xiaolian sat down, the first thing she said to Qiao Ye was, "I'm leaving Beijing."

Qiao Ye was a little surprised, "You are going to take up the post with Song Shaoyang?"

Most of the rebels in the capital were arrested, including the women in Song Shaoyang's backyard.

Yu Wanzhi and her two children did not escape and were sent to reunite with Lu Qingrong and Lu Mei's family.

Because Jiang Yilin found several mineral deposits on several islands for the court.

In line with the idea of ​​recycling waste, except for the important leaders and high-ranking officials who were directly executed, all the others were sent to the island to mine.

Among them are Lu Qingrong's family, Wen Xianglian and others.

On the vast and heavily guarded island, they could not escape, nor could they muster the courage to commit suicide.

The second half of life was truly miserable, with nothing but regrets.

Qiao Xiaolian nodded: "Yes, I originally wanted to find an ordinary man who can be controlled and marry him."

"These days, I've been trying to find it secretly."

"But it's really not pleasing to the eye."

"And a few days ago, Song Shaoyang told me that he would dismiss those concubines and take me with him to take up the post."

"If I am willing, you will make me your wife and I will be your only wife from now on."

She sighed, "Then I was moved."

"I'm used to seeing Song Shaoyang's handsome face. I really don't want to marry those ordinary men."

"And I've thought about it too. I'd like to find a man who can be manipulated. He can only be of ordinary status and a very ordinary person."

After all, an ambitious and capable man cannot marry her and be controlled by her.

"Although Song Shaoyang was exiled, he is still a county magistrate after all."

"If I follow him to work as an official in another place, I will be the wife of the county magistrate and can still live a good life."

"He is so handsome, and my future children will surely be handsome too."

"If that's the case, then why bother yourself to find someone randomly? You might as well just follow him."

She could see that Song Shaoyang was in a very depressed state and had lost interest in women.

She didn't have high demands to begin with, and becoming the wife of a county magistrate was something she had never dared to dream of before.

Now that it can be realized, why should she refuse?

This is her choice.
