Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne

Although there is no precedent of a woman becoming the monarch in Chong'an Kingdom, everything has a beginning. As long as this beginning is made, the rest of the things will be much simpler.

……

On the other hand, Shangguan Yu didn't know what had happened. She was still happily thinking that after she got out, she would make Shi Jin pay for it.

"Mother, I knew that father still liked me, otherwise why would he let me out so quickly?" After Mu Yingluo acted coquettishly to Mu Yuchuan once, Mu Yuchuan let her out.

Shangguan Yu said calmly, "Of course. Didn't I tell you that your father just wants a way out? Now that you've given him a way out, he'll naturally come down. He actually knows in his heart that he's biased towards Shi Jin this time."

Although Shangguan Yu said this, he was actually feeling a little nervous.

Mu Yuchuan's action this time caused her to have a slight deviation in her position in Mu Yuchuan's heart, and this deviation was what Shangguan Yu did not want to see.

"Do you still remember what your mother told you a few days ago?"

"Of course I remember. You said that the Crown Prince will soon become the Emperor. By then, I will be the eldest princess."

Mu Yingluo spoke happily.

"That's right, so this period of time is a critical time for your brother, the Crown Prince. You must not hold your brother, the Crown Prince, back. As long as you can endure this period of time, don't cause trouble, and don't make your father angry, your position as the eldest princess will definitely be yours."

Shangguan Yu spoke earnestly.

Mu Yingluo curled her lips, "I know, I know, mother, don't worry, this thing is limited. At worst, I will teach that bitch Shi Jin a lesson after my brother, the Crown Prince, ascends the throne."

However, Shangguan Yu and Mu Yingluo never expected that not long after, they would receive a bolt from the blue.

"Impossible! Who is Mu Jiusheng? Why would His Majesty allow her to attend the court!!!"

"In reply to your Majesty, His Majesty will confer upon Princess Jinghe the title of Protector of the Nation Princess, allowing her to participate in government affairs."

The maid spoke tremblingly.

Shangguan Yu took a deep breath. "Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for women to participate in politics, let alone a title like the Princess Protector of the Nation. What on earth does the emperor want to do?"

At this critical moment when the emperor was about to die and the prince was about to ascend the throne, he did such a thing, which made it difficult for her not to think too much.

"I guess that little bitch must have begged father to give her a reward, so father made her the Princess of Protecting the Nation." Mu Yingluo didn't think that Mu Yuchuan made her the Princess of Protecting the Nation because he liked Mu Jiusheng.

Shangguan Yu didn't say anything, but there was a flickering light in his eyes.

"Mother." At this time, Mu Qilin also came to Shangguan Yu after receiving the news.

"You know it all?"

"Yes, I know everything. Mother, I am worried that Father is doing this because he wants to destroy me."

“Impossible, if your father wanted to depose you, he should just do it directly, why would he go through so many twists and turns and even make Mu Jiusheng the Princess Protector of the Nation?

He must have known that such a move would cause criticism from court officials.

But he did it anyway.

Or maybe Mu Jiusheng has some leverage over your father." Shangguan Yu was troubled. "In short, this matter should not be underestimated. Keep an eye on Mu Jiusheng and see if she has any unusual moves."

"Yes, concubine."

On the other hand, Mu Jiusheng's life did not change much after being named the Princess Protector of the Nation. There were many different opinions about her outside, but Mu Jiusheng herself did not intend to do anything. The main reason why Mu Yuchuan named her the Princess Protector of the Nation was because he had no other candidate. He did not trust the Shangguan family now. But Shi Jin was different. She had no backing, so Mu Yuchuan could do whatever he wanted.

"Asheng."

"Huh? What's wrong? Is there something?" Mu Jiusheng looked at Ji Huaiyu boredly, he seemed to be worried about something.

She sat up, her expression becoming somewhat serious, "Just tell me if you have something to say, there's nothing you can't say."

"Okay." Ji Huaiyu told Mu Jiusheng something that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

“My biological father is Lu Huai’en.

All I have done over the years has been to help him get revenge.

Now, I have basically collected all the evidence, so..."

"You want me to help you, to clear things up for your father."

Mu Jiusheng looked at Ji Huaiyu's nervous expression and chuckled, "So, when I first wanted to marry you, you were worried that I was a child of the royal family, so you kept opposing me and wanted me to stay away from you?"

"Yes. But later..." Later he fell in love with her.

"Thank you, Asheng."

"You're welcome. Although I was young at the time, I heard my mother talk about Lu Huai'en. Later, when I was growing up, I also heard people say that Lu Huai'en was wronged.

I just didn't expect that he had left a child. I tried to check it back then, but all the information about Lu Huai'en seemed to have been erased. So I stopped. I just didn't expect you to find evidence to prove that he was wronged.

But this matter cannot be rushed at the moment. Although I have been named the Princess of Fuhuguo, I have not yet established a firm foothold. In addition, my father is still in charge of the government. If we fight back at this time, we are likely to be counterattacked by the Shangguan family's followers.

Instead of doing this, why not wait until we really get the real power and then clear your father's name."

"You want to..." Ji Huaiyu's pupils gradually widened. Mu Jiusheng was named Princess Protector of the Nation. He could probably guess that something must have happened in the palace to cause the emperor to take such a big action.

After he sent people to investigate, he found out that it was Shangguan Yu who was seeking his own death. He was impatient and wanted the emperor to die early and be reborn so that his son could ascend the throne earlier.

When Mu Jiusheng found out about this, it became a handle to sanction the Shangguan family.

However, he didn't expect Mu Jiusheng to be so ambitious.

"If I were given a choice, I wouldn't really want to be the emperor, but if I don't have power, I can't protect the people I want to protect. This is the reality that everything I've learned in my 16 years of life. So I was thinking that since my brother is the crown prince and has the right to ascend the throne, why can't I? After all, our crown prince brother is not as capable as I am."

There was a gleam of confidence in Mu Jiusheng's eyes when he said this.

Ji Huaiyu chuckled, "Okay, then I wish you a smooth ascension to the throne."

Mu Jiusheng raised his eyebrows, "Well, okay, I'll leave Mu Yuchuan's life to you. Let you kill him yourself."

"He is not..." Based on the information he had learned, he probably didn't have much time left to live in this world.

"If he didn't take medicine, he wouldn't have much time to live. But I managed to extend his life by a few months."
