After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"The emperor is very suspicious. The Angongdihuang Pill has already entered my stomach. He won't believe us even if we jump into the Yellow River."

The old lady pursed her lips and remained silent.

Indeed, the emperor was suspicious and had always regarded the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as a serious threat. Now that something like this had happened, he would only think that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had ulterior motives.

"How are you going to do it?"

Bai Youyou said what was in her mind, "Since the emperor thinks that we have already sided with the Third Prince, we might as well do as he wishes."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the old lady again.

The old lady raised her chin towards her and said, "Go on."

"Not only is the Crown Prince unfit to be a king, the Third Prince is also not a good idea. The other princes are small or weak. This one is the most vulnerable one, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the big responsibility. I still think the same as before, get rid of the father and keep the son, and use the emperor to control the princes!"

The old lady frowned and looked at her directly, "Are you serious?"

"This is not a spur of the moment thing on my part."

Bai Youyou looked serious, "Several generations of our Zhenguo Mansion have fought bloody battles to ensure that the people of the Great Zhou live and work in peace and contentment. The current ruler is incompetent and indifferent to the people of the world. We should appoint wise men! Right now, this is the only way to avoid turmoil in the court. It can not only solve the plight of our Zhenguo Mansion, but at least give the people of the world a glimmer of hope!"

The old lady looked at her beautiful eyes and was silent for a long time. Then she sighed and said, "The palace may look magnificent, but it is actually a gorgeous cage. If you enter it, it will be difficult to get out again."

"My granddaughter has no regrets!"

Her voice was firm and loud, as if it traveled through time and space, echoing throughout the room.

The old lady felt a sour nose and a layer of heat rose in her eyes.

She knew this girl, she was used to being relaxed and free, and she did this just to protect them.

"Since you don't regret it, Grandmother will agree with you."

I don't know when the rain came in the night, and it was dripping on the green tiles.

The Queen Mother passed away suddenly, and the usually bustling streets suddenly became dead silent. The once bustling shops hung white flags.

The banners hung by all the people, which were only recently seen, are now reappearing.

The news that thousands of refugees were massacred on the emperor's order swept through the court like a tornado. All officials were shocked and felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

"The order or chaos of the world does not depend on the rise and fall of one family, but on the happiness and sorrow of all the people." The old prince's eyes were filled with tears. "Then the greatest harm to the world is you, the king!"

"With such a tyrant ruler, the Great Zhou is in danger, and the people are in danger!!"

"Father, please be careful with your words!"

When the old prince's son heard him criticizing the emperor again, he was so scared that his face turned pale and he quickly stepped forward to cover his mouth.

"Please don't talk nonsense. If someone hears it and tells the emperor about it, we will lose our heads too!"

He had the old prince escorted back to his own courtyard, and also wrote a letter of resignation from the old Prince Duan due to his serious illness and sent it to the palace.

Thousands of refugees were killed at will, and the emperor became more and more tyrannical and violent.

If his father talked nonsense in front of the emperor again, he was really afraid that everyone in Prince Duan's mansion, young and old, would die!

"Boom——"

The winter thunder rumbled, and a silver-white lightning fell from the sky, like a sharp sword splitting the sky in half.

The emperor has not attended court for half a month, and no civil or military official has seen him.

Zhao Qingming comes every day.

It suddenly rained again today, and he rushed all the way in the rain.

It is a turbulent time. The flood in Quzhou has not yet been resolved, and there is now a bandit problem. However, the emperor does not attend the morning court all day, and they don't know how to deal with it.

Chief Steward Chen stopped him and said, "Sir Zhao, the Emperor is too sad about the Queen Mother's incident and has been in poor health these days. You should come another day."

"Eunuch Chen, there is an urgent matter at court. This matter cannot be delayed!"

"Master Zhao, this happens every day. It won't delay anything if you delay for a moment."

"The situation of banditry in Quzhou is urgent. Please, Eunuch Chen, pass this memorial to the Emperor."

Zhao Qingming came here in a hurry but returned disappointed today.

In the imperial study, the emperor stood in front of a huge alchemy furnace and admired it with great interest.

"Is this the thing that fell from the sky that day?"

The prince nodded, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory speculated that this furnace was once used by the immortal Taishang Laojun in heaven. This is truly an auspicious sign from heaven!"

"The alchemy furnace used by Taishang Laojun?"

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he gently stroked the carved patterns on it, "Then if I use this furnace to refine the elixir, won't I be able to refine the elixir of immortality?"

"Everything depends on human effort. Father has the power of dragon in him. Who knows, maybe it will work."

The prince was flattering him, and Chen, the steward, walked in with small steps, holding a memorial sent by Zhao Qingming in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial sent by Lord Zhao from the Ministry of Justice, saying that there is a bandit problem in Quzhou and the situation is extremely urgent."

When the emperor heard that there was a bandit problem in Quzhou, his brows darkened, "I know these unruly people are not good people!"

The prince looked cold, "These lowly people, they dared to become bandits when the court didn't give them money, they really have no respect for the law!"

The emperor was now devoted to alchemy. He took the letter from Chen Zongguan's hand and threw it to the prince in an irritable mood, "I will give you the Black Armor Army, and you will deal with the bandit problem in Quzhou."

"My son, take your orders!"

The prince left the palace with the token of the Black Armor Army, his brows full of pride.

Yong'an Hou and Bai Yaoyao were sitting in the prince's study. Seeing his smiling face, Yong'an Hou asked excitedly, "Did you get it?"

The prince shook the tiger talisman in his hand and said, "I got it."

He looked at the shy Bai Yaoyao with gentle eyes, "Thanks to Yaoyao's advice, otherwise I would have to go through more trouble to get the Black Armor Army Tiger Talisman."

Bai Yaoyao lowered her eyebrows and smiled shyly, "It is my honor to be able to relieve your highness's worries."

"What reward does Yaoyao want?"

"I am very lucky to be able to share your worries. Yaoyao dare not ask for any reward."

"You deserve a reward for your merit, but I can only give you a limited amount now."

The prince walked up to Bai Yaoyao, his sparkling eyes full of tenderness. He lifted a strand of Bai Yaoyao's hair and put it behind her ear, saying softly, "But don't worry, Yaoyao. When I succeed, I will give you the best in the world!"

What is the best thing in the world?

Naturally, it is the position of queen who is second only to one man and above everyone else!

Bai Yaoyao raised her head, her eyes full of undisguised affection, "Then Yaoyao will wait for the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will accomplish his wish."

The rain outside was sometimes heavy and sometimes light. When the Third Prince learned that the tiger talisman of the Black Armor Army had fallen into the hands of the Crown Prince, he could no longer sit still and had someone prepare a carriage and rushed to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Bai Youyou and the old lady had been waiting for his arrival.

Whoever takes that step will be in a lower position. After all, it is not business if you try to climb the ladder.

The butler held up a sky-blue umbrella and welcomed the guests into the hall. "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and ask our old lady to come over."
