Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Queen Jiang was satisfied with Liu Ruyan's ability to understand the current situation, and a kind smile appeared on her pale face.

Although she knew that the murderer was not Liu Ruyan, Jiang Wanning still disliked her and said coldly: "Don't think that you can be above me just because you have restored your title and position. If you don't behave yourself, you will suffer in the future!"

"Wan Ning, don't be so arrogant!"

Although Queen Jiang was scolding her, she still looked at Jiang Wanning with a gentle look. After all, this was her only relative in the palace.

Liu Ruyan never took Jiang Wanning seriously. She was just a fool. If she hadn't been born into a good family and had the Empress protecting her in the harem, she would probably have died without knowing how she died with such an unrestrained temper.

Over the past month, Liu Ruyan has figured out that the harem is full of twists and turns, and the only way to go further is to form cliques and factions and rely on a big tree.

She knelt down in front of Queen Jiang, her delicate face full of pitiful expression: "My family is far away in Yangzhou, and I am like a floating duckweed in the harem, and I am in constant fear every day."

"Your Majesty is dignified and virtuous, and you are the mother of the country. This makes me feel very close to you. I am willing to serve you like a dog and a horse in the future. I beg you to have mercy on me!"

After she finished speaking, Liu Ruyan bowed deeply.

A hint of disgust flashed across Jiang Wanning's eyes. She was about to say something, but Queen Jiang spoke before her.

"You are a sensible person. On the day when the whole palace came to the audience, I felt that I had a good relationship with you. Since you have this intention, I will naturally not let you down. Get up."

The corners of Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly: "Thank you, Queen!"

Jiang Wanning looked down on Liu Ruyan, but she didn't dare to refute Queen Jiang's decision, so she could only roll her eyes at her.

Queen Jiang's health was getting worse and worse. By now, her face showed signs of extreme fatigue. She said a few words to comfort Liu Ruyan, then left in her phoenix sedan chair.

Liu Ruyan bowed respectfully: "I respectfully send off Her Majesty the Queen!"

Given Jiang Wanning's status, she was not even qualified to ride in a sedan chair and could only walk beside the phoenix sedan chair.

After leaving Jingyang Palace, she curled her lips in disdain: "Eldest sister, Liu Ruyan's father is only a fourth-rank official. Such a person is not even qualified to carry shoes for our Zhenguogong Mansion. Why did you accept her for your support?"

The physical weakness and the stupidity of her younger sister made Queen Jiang feel extremely tired.

She has doubted this more than once. Wan Ning's personality has been spoiled since she was a child. Was it right or wrong for her family to send her to the palace?

However, the matter was done, and Queen Jiang could only endure the discomfort and explain: "Although the Liu family cannot be compared with our Zhenguo Mansion, Yangzhou is a wealthy place and can provide a lot of help to Liu Ruyan."

"From the fact that she was able to turn the tide this time, we can tell that with her looks and skills, she is definitely not an ordinary person. I don't know how long I can hold on, so I will naturally find more allies for you."

"When you see Liu Ruyan in the future, don't treat her with that attitude. If you use this girl well, she will definitely become a good knife in your hand!"

"I will pave the way for you in the future. You don't have to worry about her backlash. If that day really comes, the other concubines who are loyal to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will join forces to get rid of her."

After talking for such a long time, Queen Jiang could no longer hold on and lay on the phoenix sedan chair, her face becoming paler and paler.

Jiang Wanning's eyes were red: "Eldest sister..."

Although she had always understood that her purpose of entering the palace was to take over her elder sister's position, they were sisters after all, and she felt bad watching her elder sister's life slip away day by day.

Queen Jiang said with difficulty: "You must remember... remember... my words..."

Jiang Wanning nodded heavily: "Eldest sister, I remember it!"

"But... Liu Ruyan's misfortune was related to me. In the past month, I have tried to kill her several times. I don't believe she doesn't hate me in her heart. Can we really trust such a person to come to us?"

Queen Jiang's body could no longer hold on and she closed her eyes tiredly.

Nanny Fanghua said respectfully, "My lady, in the harem, you can use others as pawns, but you cannot trust anyone easily. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Concubine Wan is trustworthy or not, as long as she can do things for you. Anyway, she can't escape the control of the Queen anyway."

Jiang Wanning nodded, not quite understanding.

……

What happened in Yilan Pavilion has spread in the harem like the wind.

Everyone thought that Liu Ruyan had hit rock bottom and would be killed by Jiang Wanning. Unexpectedly, she not only avoided the open and secret attacks, but also successfully cleared her name and made a comeback.

After this incident, everyone knew that this seemingly weak and frail Concubine Wan was actually not a simple person!

When she first entered the harem, Liu Ruyan had originally planned to hide her abilities and quietly watch the others fight to the death. It was not her intention to suddenly expose her abilities, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She will just have to be more careful from now on!

……

Yongshou Palace.

A hint of gloom flashed across Concubine Liu's eyes!

Concubine Li was her pawn. She handled the matter of Jiang Wanning's disfigurement very well, but she didn't expect that she would be destroyed like this!

However, looking at the entire harem, the only people that Concubine Liu really considered as opponents were those from the Zhenguo Mansion. Anyway, there was little hope of curing Jiang Wanning's face, and she also found a way to completely get rid of it, so it didn't matter if she lost a chess piece.

Concubine Liu played with the box of ointment that Shen Zhinian sent over, her eyes gradually becoming fierce: "Isn't there one in the Imperial Hospital? Our Dingguo Mansion planted a chess piece many years ago, and it has already gained the Queen's trust. Take this box of ointment and let him use it on Jiang Wanning."

"After all, such a beautiful woman like a flower has been disfigured like this. I can't bear to see it..."

There is certainly nothing wrong with the ointment, but if it is used together with incompatible drugs, it can be fatal.

Cuizhu instantly understood what Concubine Liu hadn't said, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang's face is ruined, and her favor in this life is over. Why did you bother to take her life?"

Concubine Liu smiled grimly: "Just because your face is ruined doesn't mean it can't be cured. What I want is to be absolutely sure!"

"Moreover... Jiang Wanning was the last hope of the Zhenguo Mansion's direct lineage. If she died, you can imagine the blow to the Queen!"

"She also has a top family background. Why has that yellow-faced woman of the Queen been suppressing me for so many years? Maybe this great gift I give her can speed up her journey to the paradise and make way for me sooner!"

Cuizhu responded "yes".

"People that the Queen doesn't like shouldn't be alive in this world!"

"But... the ointment was brought out by Concubine Rou, but can we pin the blame on her? She killed Concubine Jiang, so she must die!"
