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

After returning to the East Palace, the prince immediately summoned his trusted subordinates to discuss important matters in secret.

He looked at the people below with a sinister look in his eyes and said, "The situation is critical now, and we must speed up the plan."

The confidant looked worried: "Your Highness, but if you make any move now, you might be exposed."

"Do you still care about being exposed? If you succeed, you will be king, if you fail, you will be a bandit!" The prince snorted coldly, "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative!"

He looked at Doctor Hu, "Do you have any idea about the elixir that my father gave me?"

His meaning was self-evident. Doctor Hu shook his head and said, "The emperor has always been taking pills according to the ancient recipe. If we change it rashly, it will probably alert the emperor."

The prince could not do anything with the elixir, so he frowned and said, "Send someone to Yucheng to transport the refined weapons to the northern border as quickly as possible."

The iron ore in Qingling Mountain has an extremely high iron content. Under his operation, only a small part of it was handed over to the court, and the rest was sent to Yucheng privately by him.

In addition to training assassins, Ramadan Villa also refines weapons, and the embezzled money is also stored there.

This step has to be taken sooner or later. Since they won't leave you a way to survive, don't blame him!

The news of what happened in the court soon reached the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Bai Youyou was not too surprised by this. "When faced with a dilemma, the prince will definitely take an unconventional approach."

The old lady looked serious. "I sent a letter to your grandfather yesterday, asking him to make preparations in advance."

"My cousin and the others have been sent out of the city this morning, and we have to prepare in advance in our mansion."

Bai Youyou immediately ordered Lu San, "Send a signal to have everyone who is out return home. Also, dig a secret passage out from the woodshed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qi came in from outside with news, "Master, news from the border."

Lu Xuan was busy looking for the Lu family, Lu Chen was busy with the food and fodder issues at the border, and all matters at home were left to Bai Youyou.

She opened the bag and took a look at the secret letter. Her expression suddenly became serious. "This prince is quite resourceful. He actually transported the iron ore from Qingling Mountain to Yucheng and secretly forged weapons there."

Yucheng is adjacent to southern Xinjiang, right under the nose of the Duke of Zhenguo. If something happens, he might even turn around and say that it was her grandfather who intended to rebel!

If Marquis Yong'an had not gone to Yucheng, they would not have known that Ramadan Villa was the warehouse where the prince privately stored his weapons.

It’s true that the most dangerous place is the safest place!

"That's good, it's a good bargain for us."

She smiled slyly, and just then Lu Xuan came in from the door with a cold look on his face. Seeing the sly smile on her lips, his mood couldn't help but improve.

"Sixth cousin, I can take care of the search for mother. Now I'll give you an important task to do."

Lu Xuan brushed off the unmelted snow on his shoulders, walked up to her, took the letter she handed over, and his eyes lit up after reading it. "The weapons in the army have long been worn out, and the court has not issued new weapons for several years. The prince is really sending a pillow when he is sleepy."

"Sixth cousin, please go and do this yourself."

This matter is of great importance, and Bai Youyou felt a little uneasy even when the carrier pigeon sent the message.

"I'll go now."

Lu Xuan ran away.

He had been in the army for six years. In these years, he had fought against the barbarians. The barbarians had good weapons and sufficient food and grass, but his own weapons had been sharpened again and again, but the gap was still difficult to close. In addition, the court's military pay was always late, and the soldiers in the army had to tighten their belts to make ends meet. They were all hungry and skinny.

If such an army wants to defend the border, they can only fight with their lives and build walls with their bodies.

It's a rare opportunity for someone to forge such sophisticated weapons right under their noses, so they would not want to miss out on them.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was also taking intensive action, and the Crown Prince's actions were even faster.

The third prince was also busy, and he took his trusted followers to search for clues everywhere.

All the people who were on duty in the side rooms of the Golden Throne Palace that day were arrested and interrogated personally by Zhao Zhong.

Taking this opportunity, he eliminated many of the prince's men.

The queen sat leisurely on the chair, with Concubine Zhang, who had just woken up, kneeling below her.

After a near-death experience, Concubine Zhang became emaciated and looked haggard.

She clapped her head to the ground and said, "Thank you very much, Queen, for saving my life."

The queen looked down at her and sneered, "I originally wanted to save you so that you could testify against the crown prince for murdering the heir. But now it seems that you are useless."

At that time, she thought that Concubine Zhang would not survive, otherwise she would not have been in a hurry to convict the prince of defiling the harem.

The plan was successful, but no one expected that the emperor would remain indifferent as he watched his own son cheat on him.

"Queen, please spare me, Queen, please spare me..."

Useless people will only die. Concubine Zhang thought that the Queen wanted to kill her. She was so scared that she trembled and kept kowtowing to the Queen.

"Let me ask you, why does the Crown Prince think so highly of Bai Yaoyao?"

The Queen was somewhat confused about this.

As for Bai Yaoyao, she had actually forgotten about her for a long time, but today she received news that the prince had secretly gone to the cold palace again in the middle of the night.

The royal family is ruthless, and the prince is not a lovesick man. Bai Yaoyao was banished to the cold palace, but the prince still ordered people to protect her in every possible way.

She is just a girl in the boudoir. Apart from that coquettish face, there is no sign of her that is worthy of the prince's attention. Bai Yaoyao must have some extraordinary qualities that benefit the prince.

She sent a lot of people to investigate, but they couldn't find anything useful.

Concubine Zhang didn't know about this either. "The Crown Prince usually sees Bai Yaoyao in the study, but the study is a very important place, and the Crown Prince never lets outsiders enter easily. I don't know why the Crown Prince values ​​Bai Yaoyao so much."

She was a concubine, and even the Crown Prince in the front courtyard ordered her not to go there unless necessary, let alone a confidential place like the study.

"If your majesty wants to investigate this matter, why don't you go find Bai Yaoyao's father and brother? They might know something."

If the Queen wanted to investigate this matter, she would naturally investigate Bai Yaoyao's father and brother, but there was no useful information yet.

She picked up the bird's nest at hand and started eating, completely ignoring Concubine Zhang whose clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

After she had been leisurely for half a quarter of an hour, she said coldly, "Go back to the secret room. Wait until I have found out the truth before you come out."

"Thank you, Queen."

Concubine Zhang did not dare to complain and followed the nanny back to the secret room.

The prince wants her life, she can't go back to the Eastern Palace, and now the only place where she can settle down is with the queen.

The court was shrouded in dark clouds, and many people felt the undercurrent surging beneath the calm.

Lord Qi looked at his son and said, "Pack up and go back to the old house in Jiangcheng with your mother and grandmother to stay for a while."

Qi Yue put down the book in his hand and asked, "Dad, what happened in the court?"

Lord Qi sighed, "The Crown Prince is fighting with other princes, and the situation in the court is changing rapidly. As a father, I am afraid that it will affect my family."
