The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

At this point, Nangong Yu's rebels were defeated. The news reached the imperial capital, and all civil and military officials praised the regent's great achievements.

The rebels were defeated, and some were happy while others were worried. When the news reached the harem, the queen looked incredulous and fell into the phoenix chair with a pale face.

She kept murmuring, "I failed. How could I fail?"

The nanny beside the queen noticed that the queen looked upset and quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Master...are you okay?"

The Queen waved her hand at the Mammy and said, "Mammy, I'm fine. Please go down first and let me be alone for a while."

After saying this, she held her head with her hands and leaned back in the chair, like a soldier who had been defeated.

The queen looked at everyone in the palace and saw that they had all left. She lowered her head and thought about what had happened over the years.

Ever since the first time she saw the Second Prince Nangong Yu, every little bit of it seemed like a brand, lingering in her mind.

That year, as the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, she was invited to attend the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet at the Prime Minister's wife's home.

At that banquet, he accidentally met the Second Prince Nangong Yu, who was also invited to attend the banquet.

Although there was a huge age gap between them, she had fallen deeply in love with the Second Prince since the first moment she saw him.

After the banquet, she found an opportunity to meet with Nangong Yu privately.

After the two met, she no longer cared about propriety and confessed her love to Nangong Yu in person. Fortunately, Nangong Yu did not feel disgusted with this woman who was several years younger than her. On the contrary, he showed a liking for her.

Later, she and the second prince had a private agreement that after her coming-of-age ceremony, Nangong Yu would come to propose marriage in person.

Unexpectedly, half a year later, news came that he had colluded with foreign enemies on the border and attempted to kill the king and rebel. He was then taken back to the palace, and the queen mother tried her best to rescue him, but failed.

She had also asked her biological father many times to help protect him, but her father always refused her requests on the grounds that he was powerless.

Helplessly, she asked her mother for help and used many connections before she was able to meet the Queen Mother. She then asked the Queen Mother to secretly send her to the Heavenly Prison to see Nangong Yu for the last time.

That night, because she was deeply in love with him, she gave herself to Nangong Yu.

A month later, news came out that Nangong Yu had been beheaded. When she heard about it, she cried so hard that her eyes turned red and she finally fainted.

The mansion invited a doctor to examine her, and finally found out that she was pregnant.

Her father Fan Yao felt that she had brought disgrace upon the family and wanted to execute her to preserve the family's reputation.

But God did not let her go, because her father had always been neutral and fair in dealing with the issue of Nangong Yu. At that time, the emperor, in order to win over her father, actually ordered a marriage and made her the queen, and the wedding was completed a month later.

Her mother had begged her to abort the baby, but she refused because of her relationship with Nangong Yu.

In the end, her father and mother were forced to agree to let her keep the child. Whether it would be a blessing or a curse depended on her own luck.

She drugged the emperor on his wedding night, causing him to hallucinate and think he and the queen had consummated their marriage, when in fact nothing had happened.

Later, she used the baby in her belly to secure her position as queen, and then schemed to exchange the life of a concubine for the premature birth of her son.

After giving birth to the prince prematurely, she has completely used this child to gain a firm foothold in the harem, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

She not only left behind a child with the man she loved, but also used this child to gain supreme power.

However, unexpectedly, the seemingly quiet and happy days were broken one day because of a letter.

It also caused ripples in her heart, which had always been as calm as calm water.

That day, she learned from a letter sent by a young eunuch that the second prince was not beheaded, but the Queen Mother had used some tricks to replace him with a death row prisoner in advance.

This means that the second prince is still alive, the love of her life is still alive and well, and the biological father of her child is back alive.

The moment she learned the truth, her heart was filled with excitement and her joy was beyond words.

It was also from that moment that she refused the emperor's approach, and whenever she had the chance, she would find ways to push the emperor to other concubines.

She told herself in her heart that she must remain virgin for Nangong Yu.

One day, three years after he learned that he was still alive, he received another letter from Nangong Yu, a letter asking him to help kill Ouyang Miaoling, and a token given to him by Nangong Yu.

The letter said that as long as she could help kill Ouyang Miaoling, he would help him get rid of Nangong Mingxuan and clear all obstacles for his son to become the crown prince in the future.

Her heart was moved, and every time she thought about it, she would tell him that they had a son when they met again after many years.

She often imagined in her dreams the warm scenes of her family being together, which made her feel extremely happy.

In order for that happy moment to come sooner, she listened to him, told her biological father the truth, and threatened her father.

He asked his biological father to send a large number of assassins to cooperate with Nangong Yu's men to sneak into Yaowang Valley and slaughter everyone inside until Ouyang Miaoling was killed.

But what they didn't expect was that Ouyang Miaoling was not there when they massacred the people in the valley, which allowed her to escape.

After this collaboration, Nangong Yu wrote to her frequently and expressed his longing for her.

He even told her bluntly that he was going to raise an army, hoping to use her power to kill the emperor and Nangong Mingxuan.

So, for her own sake and for her son's future, she once again asked her father and brother for help to kill Nangong Mingxuan along the way.

Until later, because he fell into Ouyang Yi's trap, his father left this world in that way in order to protect her before his death.

When she thought of this, her heart began to ache. She covered her heart with her hands and continued to think about the past.

After her father died, she wrote a letter to Nangong Yu, telling him about her son's life experience. She hoped that Nangong Yu could call her as soon as possible so that she and her son could be reunited.

When the maid presented Nangong Yu's reply to her, her beautiful face instantly broke into a smile as bright as the warm spring sun.

This was the first time in years that she laughed so carefreely and happily, as if she had turned back into a carefree child.

She was so excited that she could not restrain herself, she lifted her skirt and ran and jumped around the garden happily like a light butterfly. Her laughter echoed throughout the garden, startling flocks of birds that were looking for food.

However, happy times are always short-lived. A few days later, a shocking piece of news reached the palace—Nangong Yu had started a rebellion! This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting her heart, which was originally immersed in joy.

But even so, she still prayed silently in her heart for the man she loved deeply, asking God to bless him with safety.

At the same time, she was also looking forward to him breaking through the city gate as soon as possible, leading the army into the palace, and reuniting with her and her son. After all, the separation and longing over the years had already tortured her.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Today, when another expedited secret letter was delivered to her, she was completely stunned.

The letter clearly stated: "Nangong Yu was defeated and died on the battlefield..." These few short words weighed on her heart like a thousand-pound rock, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
