The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby

The chief eunuch in the Queen's palace was brought here. In order to protect his family, he had no choice but to betray the Queen. Loyalty is based on your ability to protect the people I care about. Without these prerequisites, loyalty is nothing.

He said everything that should and should not be said. Over the years, in order to prevent the birth of a prince in the harem, he helped the queen harm one concubine after another. He teamed up with the imperial physicians to drug the concubines who might be pregnant with the prince, killing the newborn babies and allowing only baby girls to be born.

"Also, and also, not long after Prince Hong was born, the Queen ordered me to find a way to kill him. It was I who ordered people to insert needles into Prince Hong's body and feed him poison, which caused Prince Hong to be weak since childhood."

What was said before was enough to shock the ministers present. When this matter came out, everyone looked at the queen as if she were a monster. This woman who seemed glamorous on the surface but was so vicious inside was really terrifying.

"He's talking nonsense, he's talking nonsense, I didn't, I didn't, it's not me, it's not me," the queen repeated over and over again. At this time, she was like a mad woman. Her usual calmness and domineeringness were gone. The main reason was that the incident happened too suddenly and she was not mentally prepared at all. What her steward said were all facts, and she didn't figure out how to refute it for a while, which made her look so flustered, confused, and powerless.

"And, and," the steward knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward. Now that he had said it all, perhaps he just said it easily and with a bit of credit in mind, he told him everything he knew, "and, the Empress asked me to arrange for someone to do what happened to Concubine Ming back then."

He recounted what happened that year, and the whole audience was shocked. So many people in the Mei family died, and it was all caused by jealousy between women.

"This is too terrible. How can such a person be worthy of being the queen?"

The emperor waved his hand and ordered someone to drag the eunuch chief away. If he continued talking, he would reveal that the Mei Shuren in the palace was a fake and had really been beaten to death by the queen. Then the identity of this noble lady Ya would have to be explained.

There are some things that cannot be known to more people.

"Queen Pan Yuerong intended to poison the king. She was narrow-minded, selfish, jealous, and cruel to the royal heirs. She was stripped of her title of queen, demoted to a commoner, and sent to the cold palace, where she was not allowed to leave the palace without being summoned."

In front of all the ministers and family members, the emperor directly announced the queen's final fate.

"Hahahaha, you'll be banished to the cold palace and demoted to a commoner. Don't even think about it. My brother will be here to take me out soon. Just wait."

The queen didn't know that Pan Renhui's legs had been broken and he was being locked in an iron cage by Mei Qingjie.

"The fact that Pan Renhui was guilty of treason is established, and according to the law, all nine clans should be executed. I do not want to start a killing spree, so I will execute three of his clans: his father's clan, his mother's clan, and his wife's clan."

"From now on, the Mansion of the General Who Protects the Nation will be restored, Mei Qingjie will be conferred the title of Marquis of Changting, and Mei Yikuan will be conferred the title of General Who Protects the Nation. He will lead the former members of the Mei family army and the Pan family army to garrison in southern Xinjiang."

"From now on, the former Ming Noble Consort Mei Shumin's identity will be restored and she will still be Ming Noble Consort."

A series of punishments and rewards were all targeted at the Mei and Pan families. The situation was exactly the opposite of several years ago. The queen had been dragged away and did not hear the imperial will of rewards, but it would always reach her ears. Even if no one told it, there would always be someone who would tell it specifically for her.

Many neutral ministers have been observing Prime Minister Hua's expression. His two daughters married into the royal family and one is the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince has not been deposed. Does that mean that the Emperor is still wary of the Pan family's military power?

Prime Minister Hua never spoke a word from beginning to end. This attitude made people think that he had known the result of today.

After finishing what needed to be done, the emperor took Mei Shumin's hand and prepared to leave. As for the palace banquet, those who wanted to continue playing could do so; the emperor would not accompany them.

From the original banquet for selecting a concubine, it became a banquet for selecting a son-in-law, and finally a banquet for suppressing a rebellion. The emperor's goal has been achieved. As for selecting a son-in-law, it could be done at any time and there is no need to rush.

With such a big thing happening, who would still be in the mood to have a banquet? As soon as the emperor left, every household hurried to leave. A palace banquet started with joy and ended with both joy and sorrow.

The Pan family was the first to be arrested without exception. Those who were originally loyal to the Mei family were extremely excited. Those who were affected by the Mei family case and were suppressed in various ways in the court could finally hold their heads high and feel proud today. Many people had only expressed their sympathy for the Mei family back then and had been ruthlessly excluded until now.

When the court officials rebelled, the structure of the court would naturally change. Many positions would be vacant and many people would be waiting to fill them. The emperor could not afford to worry about so many things, so Prime Minister Hua became an even more popular person.

In particular, his daughter, who was originally thought to be in a terrible state, shined brightly tonight, and the emperor was obviously protecting her.

Overnight, the wind direction in Huicheng's upper circles changed. Those who originally wanted to pull down Hua Xiyu now had to be careful to please him.

Hua Xiyu knew nothing about the political affairs of the court, and she didn't want to figure out who was who. She just wanted to live her own life behind closed doors. She spent the first twenty years of her life training and studying, training for missions, and had no time for herself at all.

She loves her current life so much. She has free time and does not have to worry about personal safety. All she needs to do is to raise her two children well. To her, other things are secondary.

At the morning court session on the second day, half of the people in the court were missing. Everyone was in a sad mood, just like when the Mei family fell into trouble.

Some positions needed to be filled, some things needed to be redivided, the entire court had been turned upside down, Liu Jingcheng took the opportunity to arrange several of his confidants to go in, not for anything else, just to protect his wife, children and family in the future, and never repeat the same mistakes.

Five days later, Li Xianglong finally received the news of the great changes in the Nanyue Kingdom. He was unbelievable to learn that Pan Renhui was captured without any loss of soldiers. There was no news or rumors at all. At this time, his army was almost at the border of Southern Fujian. The war was about to break out. The arrow had been shot and could not be taken back.

Liu Jingcheng still did not let Hua Xiyu participate. He took Ji'an Yiqi, Zuo Shan and You Bai with him, and the five of them drove straight to Li Xianglong's base. With the information and location provided by the eavesdropping device, they easily entered the blind spot of Li Xianglong's sentry post.

Li Xianglong's every move was under the control of Liu Jingcheng, but he himself was completely unaware of it. Similarly, Liu Jingcheng took advantage of the opportunity when Li Xianglong was reviewing the troops in the parade ground to directly kill Li Xianglong and his generals, leaving a mess for the people of Northern Tang to clean up themselves.

Fu Yunyi defended the northern border. As long as Li Xianglong did not cross the border, they would guard it. Once he crossed the border, they would fight. Unless it was necessary, he would not let his soldiers die.

The death of Li Xianglong caught Northern Tang off guard again. After Northern Tang transported his body back, Li Xianglong's sons and brothers were busy fighting for the throne, and even his funeral was not held in time. It was not until a month later, when the throne was settled and Li Xianglong's body had rotted and stank, that the new emperor remembered to bury the late emperor.

Two days before the palace banquet, Liu Jingyu was sent to the State of Chu to escort the seventh princess to the State of Chu for marriage. The brother and sister walked slowly and reluctantly, as neither of them wanted to go, but they could not disobey the emperor's order. The wedding procession was so vast and beautiful that it stretched for several miles. The seventh princess Liu Cunxi sat in the carriage and tried every way to escape, but she failed every time and was caught by the eagle guards sent by the emperor.

On the tenth day, a team of Eagle Guards caught up with them and said, "The imperial edict has arrived."

Everyone was puzzled. Why would they receive an imperial edict on their way to the marriage?

The person who announced the decree was Fu Tingxuan. The Seventh Princess rushed over as if she had found a life-saving straw, "Brother Xuan, has father changed his mind? Has father granted me a marriage?"

Fu Tingxuan looked at the Seventh Princess and felt that she was very pitiful. Naturally, she didn't need to go to the marriage. The emperor sent them away in order to protect them. Now that things were over, it was natural for them to be taken back.

Even a powerful person like Li Xianglong was defeated, so the mere State of Chu is nothing.

Upon hearing the imperial decree that the marriage was no longer necessary, the brother and sister were overjoyed and immediately rushed back without stopping. Liu Jingyu always felt that something had happened in the capital that he didn't know about, and he had to go back quickly.

"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, please marry me."

Fu Tingxuan originally didn't want to marry, but the emperor asked him to do so, saying that the Seventh Princess should marry into the Fu family and become a wife of the Fu family, rather than him marrying the princess. Fu Tingxuan didn't care about this, but he felt that the princess's status was too noble and he was not worthy of her.

In fact, he also liked her a little. Ever since he heard that she was going to marry an emperor, he had been unhappy. However, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and he was powerless. He even regretted it at that time. If he had agreed to marry her earlier, would the emperor have chosen someone else to marry an emperor?

So, as soon as he heard that the marriage was terminated, he immediately took over the job of announcing the decree and rushed to pick her up.

"Okay, I'll ask the emperor to marry you when I get back," Fu Tingxuan agreed, her face instantly blushing. She squeezed her legs against the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward quickly.

Liu Cunxi was delighted, the surprise came a little suddenly, but then she realized that the reversal happened too quickly. The moment she was still worrying about the miserable days after the marriage, and the next moment she could live together with her lover. She snatched the horse from the guard and hurried to follow him. The two of them ran in the wilderness, one red and one black, just like a pair of inseparable shadows.
