When Liu Jingcheng saw her appearance, he felt uncomfortable as if being scratched by a cat. He hadn't seen her for several days. At this moment, his mind was full of the fight between the two of them at night. She had never dressed up seriously, and if it weren't for her outstanding height, he almost didn't recognize her in this full makeup.

The two had been seeing each other naked for several days, but he had never paid serious attention to her appearance. At that time, he was fully focused on the battle and completely ignored her looks.

The three handsome young men entered the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion gracefully. Soon, men and women gathered around the three of them in the garden.

"Meet the prince, meet the prince, meet Dr. Gu"

Liu Jingcheng was in no mood to deal with all this. He searched the garden with his eyes. Three figures, one big and two small, never left his sight.

The majority of people in the garden are unmarried men and women. Some have seen them, but most have not. Prince Xuan and Master Gu often appear at various gatherings, so everyone knows them. The one that no one knows must be Prince Xuan.

Hua Xiyu took the two children and wanted to go to Liushuang Courtyard. She didn't have the heart to deal with others. Liang knew very well that she had offended many people last time, but she still invited those people. Although she was not afraid, it was not a good thing to attract onlookers after all.

Liu Jingcheng followed involuntarily, and then someone stopped him, "Prince Hong, you don't want to follow the young lady into her boudoir, do you?"

The one blocking the way was Fu Tingyi. He came with his mother today to attend his cousin's welcoming banquet. Since his aunt passed away, the Fu family and the Hua family had seldom interacted with each other. His grandfather had also sent people to observe secretly, and they were relieved that his cousins ​​were not treated harshly in the Hua family, so they felt relieved that Hua Yuwei was at least a gentleman.

"Why are you here? Where is Fu Er?"

"He is on duty today and will not be here until the afternoon," Fu Tingyi said as he dragged Liu Jingcheng deeper into the garden.

"You must treat my cousin well, she is not as bad as the rumors say." Fu Tingyi was happy that his cousin could marry Prince Hong. Many people could not imagine that good things had happened to his cousin. Although they had not seen each other for many years and the relationship between cousins ​​was not deep, they were still relatives after all, and naturally they hoped for better things between relatives.

"She was sent to Shuiyue Temple for ten years. Didn't you, the Fu family, know about it?" Liu Jingcheng wanted to kill Hua Qianyu as soon as possible, but he felt very distressed for Hua Xiyu. Although she didn't really suffer in Shuiyue Temple, the Fu family didn't know that the two children were swapped. As outsiders, didn't they care about it at all?

"Well, you also know that the year she was sent away, my grandfather was seriously injured, my two uncles died in the battle in the northern border, my father went to the battlefield temporarily, and my grandmother almost died. At that time, how could our Fu family spare any energy?" Fu Tingyi's heart was full of sadness when he talked about the past. Although he was only a teenager at that time, he also went to the battlefield with his father, vowing to avenge his grandfather and uncle.

"By the time my mother forcibly pulled my brothers and me back from the battlefield, several years had passed. When my grandfather remembered my cousin, she had been in Shuiyue Temple for many years. My grandfather sent someone to pick her up, but my cousin refused. She wanted to stay in Shuiyue Temple."

"The person who went to pick her up didn't even see her. The one who answered was an old friend of our Fu family who was married to my aunt as a dowry. She is taking care of her in Shuiyue Temple, so she naturally wouldn't lie."

Liu Jingcheng understood that Hua Qianyu was probably already dead by then, and the person who went to pick her up was evaded by Chunliu.

In this case, we really can't blame the Fu family for being ruthless. It can only be fate. If they had found out that Hua Qianyu was dead at that time, how would Hua Xiyu get his identity back now?

Liu Jingcheng smiled and looked at the men and women coming and going in the garden. He remembered that more than half a month ago when he was in Prince Xuan's Mansion, he was still worried and anxious, and was still thinking about how to kill Miss Hua. But now he was sitting in the yard of Hua Mansion, waiting for the wedding date with joy. Life is really full of ups and downs.

The eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion is already married, and there is also a second son and a fourth daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion who are at the age of marriage. The ladies of various families use all kinds of questions and inquiries to try to establish a relationship with the Prime Minister's family.

Liang Yuejiao just smiled and said nothing. When she really couldn't handle it, she said, "As a stepmother, how can I make the decision casually? Min'er's marriage has to be decided by the Prime Minister."

Anyway, the prime minister had scolded her before, saying that she had no right to worry about the marriage of her ex-wife and children, and she had learned her lesson.

Many ladies sighed that the Prime Minister's Mansion was truly a place of great prosperity. Looking at Prince Hong's appearance, he was tall and handsome, like the breeze and the bright moon, and he exuded a majestic aura in every move he made.

In the past, Prince Hong had always lived in legends, and few people had actually seen him. Today was the first time that I saw Prince Hong’s true appearance. It turned out that he was so handsome. Miss Hua was really lucky.

Prince Xuan's son Liu Yunxuan is also handsome, but he already has a wife and concubines, which is unexpected. Not to mention Gu Wuhuan, there are a bunch of women in the backyard. Alas, it's a pity that Prince Xuan has to marry a silly woman.

Hua Xiyu was unable to return to Liushuang Courtyard with the two little ones. They were blocked after taking a few steps. He had offended so many people before, so it would have been fine if he had just jumped into the river and ran away, but now he came back in a high-profile manner, and he had to vent his anger.

"Oh, you're becoming someone's stepmother so soon." Zheng Wanran was obviously a person who only remembered the food and not the punishment. She felt that the last humiliation was not enough and came to provoke again. With this kind of brain, she deserves to be used as a gun.

"Yes, it's so great to be a stepmother. You can avoid the pain of giving birth and get two lovely babies for free. It's such a bargain," Hua Xiyu said as she gave Dabao and Erbao a kiss on the face.

The two little ones were also very supportive and cooperated by giving their mother a kiss on the cheek, one on the left and one on the right. The family of three was having a great time together and the scene was very heartwarming.

Liu Jingcheng, who was sitting not far away, stared at him intently, and his conversation with Fu Tingyi was intermittent.

Gu Wuhuan ran over in a hurry, "Uncle, cousin, Lin Da, then Lin Da..."

Liu Jingcheng looked at him and thought he was so stupid that it took him so long to realize it. He didn't know how he learned those medical skills.

"Shut your mouth," Liu Jingcheng warned.

Fu Tingyi had no idea what the two were saying and couldn't get a word in. They were all in government, so there had to be something fishy going on, but he didn't feel comfortable asking.

Gu Wuhuan shut up at the right time. At this time, Liu Yunxuan also walked towards them and said, "Cousin, it seems that someone wants to target Miss Hua. Do you want to keep an eye on her?"

How could Liu Jingcheng not know that someone was going to cause trouble? She had offended so many people last time, so how could these women let her go? However, he was sure that those who came to cause trouble would not end up well, but his women would not suffer any loss.

What he was more concerned about at the moment was the palace. Fu Tingyi of the Left Guard was there, and Xie Lihui, the commander of the Right Guard, was patrolling the imperial city. In the harem, only Fu Tingxuan's eagle guards were guarding.

Although Hua Xiyu has not paid for the cameras, it does not affect his use. They are placed in various important locations in the palace. He checks the messages every day.

This thing is much more useful than deploying a spy.

When the Queen heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion was going to hold a welcoming banquet for the silly young lady, she sneered, thinking that a fool was not worthy of a welcoming banquet, and she showed no regard for it at all.

On the day when the imperial edict granting the marriage was issued, Pan Yaojun rode back to Huicheng at full speed. He was a general guarding the border and was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned, let alone bring troops back. Most of the two thousand people he brought last time were killed inexplicably, and he didn't even have time to react before his men joined the melee. There were three parties, the Eagle Guards, the Southern Xinjiang Death Soldiers, and their Pan family army. In the end, the casualties were almost the same, and they didn't reap the fruits of victory. In the end, they returned to the barracks with heavy losses.

This time he came back with a mission, "Aunt, this is for you from your father."

The queen was holding the letter with her back to the camera, so she couldn't see the contents of the letter clearly. Liu Jingcheng operated on his mobile phone and turned the camera to a certain angle. Then he could see the letter clearly as if it was right in front of him.

Just a few lines of words, those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand will naturally not understand.

"The Yuexi Palace Banquet is about to begin." The Yuexi Palace Banquet is still more than ten days away. Liu Jingcheng is not in a hurry, but he still needs to be prepared in advance.

Hua Xiyu was not around these days, and he suddenly felt free and bored, checking the surveillance footage on his phone from time to time.

The queen received a new order, "Start at the welcoming banquet in advance." Then she watched him hand a packet of medicine to the chief steward of Fengxiang Palace.

Looking at the imperial study again, the young eunuch named Wenxi was holding the packet of medicine and smearing it everywhere on the emperor's dragon throne and desk.

Liu Jingcheng summarized the situation based on the information he monitored.

All of Prince Kang's sons had died, and his youngest son was not close to him. He was unwilling to accept that the results of his rebellion over the years were negative, so he followed Liu Yong's advice and decided to proclaim himself emperor and break away from Nanyue's control.

But there is still a problem here. To leave South Vietnam, one must first leave the surveillance of the 300,000 troops guarding the southern border.

Liu Yong gave King Kang another idea, "We will unite with Pan's army and establish ourselves as emperor in southern Xinjiang. Then Pan's army will fight back to the Nanyue court to seize power. The two sides will check and balance each other and not interfere with each other."

"What a great idea!" Prince Kang laughed happily, feeling more and more that his rebellion over the years had been in vain, and that it had all been a waste of time, and that he had even sacrificed so many of his sons.

So Prince Kang wrote a letter to Pan Renhui and arranged a time and place. The two met and discussed the cooperation matters in detail. These matters could not be exchanged through letters and could only be discussed face to face. If they failed, there would be no handle left.

"Once Prince Kang's Mansion raises an army, both sides will suffer losses, and the one who will benefit will be the current emperor." Liu Yong talked eloquently, explaining the pros and cons in detail.

Pan Renhui has been scheming for power over the years but has had no chance. Direct rebellion would be too costly and might not succeed, so he relied on Pan's daughter to seize power in the harem. After Liu Jingyu ascended the throne, he appointed my grandfather as regent, and then took control of the court step by step until Pan Yaojun and even his grandson completely seized power and changed the Liu family's name to Pan. It was good, but the process was too long and there were too many variables. He might not be able to taste power. It's not that he doesn't want to seek benefits for his children and grandchildren, but if he could stand in that high position himself, why wouldn't he want to?

All along, he insisted on letting the prince marry Hua Jiayi in order to increase the sway of this indirect power grab. Their Pan family has military power, but needs the support of civil officials. Hua Yuwei is the head of the civil officials and is talented and capable. If he can win over Prime Minister Hua, it means he has won over half of the court.

The two discussed for three days and three nights, and finally came up with a concrete and feasible plan. There were still ten days before the Moon Festival, and although the time was short, it was unexpected. Moreover, the Pan family and the Kangwang Mansion had been planning to seize power and usurp power all these years, and they had always been in a state of doing things as soon as they said they would, so ten days was enough.

The most crucial thing is that the entire harem is controlled by the Pan family. They drugged the emperor in advance, causing him to be slowly poisoned. At the Moon Festival palace banquet, Prince Kang killed the emperor in one fell swoop to avenge his son and abducted the prince (the prince cannot be killed, and the queen will not allow it if the prince is killed).

Then the empress conveyed the emperor's edict, summoning Pan's army back to the court to rescue him. Pan Renhui naturally stood in the court, commanded a large army, presided over the court, stabilized the court officials, and actively rescued the prince.

King Kang of southern Xinjiang took the opportunity to declare independence, proclaimed himself emperor, and broke away from Nanyue, otherwise he would kill their crown prince.

In order to protect the prince's safety, Pan Renhui had to compromise and agree to the independence of Southern Xinjiang. After both of them had secured their positions, several years might have passed and Southern Xinjiang and South Vietnam had adapted to the status quo. Naturally, they both got what they wanted.

As for the Fu family army guarding the northern border, it is their duty to guard the northern border. The Left and Right Guards are no match for the 300,000 Pan family army. The emperor is gone, and his only useful son has been captured. The one who gives orders in the court is the queen (Pan Renhui), and the Left and Right Guards have no choice but to obey.

If anyone is dissatisfied, just kill them.

The change of dynasties is inevitable without casualties and bloodshed. This may be the way with the least bloodshed. Ordinary people don’t care who is the emperor. Ordinary people only care about whether there is surplus food in their rice jars and on their tables.

They set the date of action at the palace banquet on the Moon Festival, intending to capture the emperor and his ministers in one fell swoop.
