After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

"Ah~ It's so unfair~ It's so unfair~ My son just lost a little girl, and the vultures ate his sperm."

"It's so unfair, so unfair. There will be no descendants! There will be no descendants! My Zhao family will have no descendants."

Aunt Zhao sat on the ground crying and wiping her tears, heartbroken.

Aunt Zhao had abandoned several children before she got Zhao Dayong.

Now Zhao Dayong has completely lost his ability to have children and doesn't even have a boy. This means that the Zhao family will be cut off from support.

At this time, an old lady came forward and pulled her sleeve and said, "Mr. Zhao, your son is useless. You still have a wife! You can push your wife out. After all, if she is pregnant, it is your child."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao stood up.

Pulling her hair and slapping her face, she said, "Liu Zhaodi, do you think I don't know what you want to do? You don't have money to find a wife for that bastard in your family, so you want to take advantage of my wife."

The old lady didn't hold back and grabbed Aunt Zhao's hair, mocking her: "Oh! I lent my son to your family to have a baby, and you still don't know what's good for you."

"Haha! Do you think everyone's family is the rootless wimp in your family?"

The two of them were fighting, and the people around them were watching the show. They had no intention of trying to persuade them to stop. They just watched the show.

At this time, the village chief hurried over and said angrily: "What are you looking at? Go back and see if your man is in trouble. Do you think only Zhao Dayong's family is in trouble?"

"Village chief, what do you mean?"

One of the women, whose child was also lost at home, asked if something had happened to her husband as well.

"Everyone, go back and take a look! Stop standing here and watching the joke."

The village chief waved his hand and asked everyone to go back.

After everyone left, the village chief looked at the two and said angrily, "Why are you fighting? What's there to fight about? Will you get a reward if you win?"

The village chief held a very high status in the village, so Aunt Zhao and the other man stopped their fight. With her hair disheveled and scars on her face, she looked like a female ghost.

"I've told you guys a long time ago that people should have a conscience and take care of what they get."

"You refused to listen and threw the child away. Now, he's been ruined."

The village chief was very angry. He had already told these people about this.

No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, coming to the family is fate, but they refused to listen and insisted on throwing the child away.

"What should I do? My Zhao family will have no descendants!"

Aunt Zhao started crying again. The man who had fought with her rolled his eyes and walked away with a twisted waist.

She didn't find a wife for her son, so she didn't have a child to lose, and her son was fine.

When she left the yard, she heard crying sounds coming from the village, echoing throughout the entire village.

*

"Master, it has been processed."

The Dark Spirit Guard kneeling on the ground reported the situation.

Not only were the children sent away, but the bodies of the dead children were also collected and buried.

As for those towers for abandoned babies, they had been demolished long ago.

"Yes. You guys should carry out your master's mission well here."

Si Sha understood in his heart why his master wanted to keep the Dark Spirit Guards here.

He wanted to protect these girls from being abused or having their tragedies repeated.

"Yes!"

The Dark Spirit Guards received the order and disappeared into the night. They became the so-called "Goddesses of Fertility".

The punishment from the Goddess of Fertility makes most people feel scared.

In addition, many men were sterilized, so the birth rate dropped and the death rate also dropped.

*

Changning brought the Dark Spirit Guards to the border and took control of the entire border soldiers with a strong attitude.

First of all, she set up a challenge platform, and as long as you defeat the Dark Spirit Guards under her, you can be promoted.

Naturally, many people stepped forward to challenge, but they all ended in failure.

Secondly, she left fifty Dark Spirit Guards hidden in the border city to prevent people from sending letters to the capital.

She led another fifty Dark Spirit Guards to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, aiming directly for the enemy commander's head.

"I brought back the head of the enemy commander, Hu Wankui. Do you still doubt my ability?"

Changning threw the enemy's head to the ground, and it rolled directly in front of General He Sheng.

He Sheng had been guarding the border city for more than ten years and had fought against Hu Wankui countless times, so he naturally knew his face.

"I admit defeat and am willing to give the right to mobilize the army to the princess."

The reason why He Sheng admitted defeat was not only because he admired the princess's abilities, but he also discovered that one of the princess's guards could defeat a hundred people.

"Very good! I can definitely lead you to victory."

"I came to the border this time and brought food and money with me. I will never let the soldiers starve."

Changning asked her father for food and money. Later, when she passed by Yangcheng, Lin Yue took the initiative to find Changning and expressed his willingness to provide food and money.

He said: "As a member of Ningguo, I am willing to donate money to support the border battle. I will not give up an inch of my country's territory."

"I only hope that when the princess comes to power, she will give me the title of imperial merchant and allow me to go out to sea."

"Go to sea?"

Changning looked at Lin Yue in shock and confusion. What was there overseas?

"Yes."

All Lin Yue wants is to make more money so that his master and his young master can live a worry-free life.

"How do you know that I will be in power?"

Changning looked at Lin Yue with suspicion and caution. How did he know that he would be in power?

"My master is the Dali Temple's Shaoqing, Zhou Hui."

Lin Yue revealed his identity and was not worried at all that Princess Changning would be on guard against him.

Hearing this, Changning smiled. She knew that Zhou Hui was not that simple.

She came all the way to the border city. Lin Yue had already sent her food and supplies, including meat, vegetables and rice, as well as warm clothes and new armor.

"Thank you princess!"

He Sheng was deeply moved. They could finally have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear.

*

Half a year later, Changning's reputation had spread throughout Ningguo.

Not only did she resolve the crisis on the border, she also captured two cities from the Wei State.

In the court, the second prince stood up and said respectfully: "Father, Changning has repelled the enemy. Should we recall her back to the capital? After all, she is not young anymore. She is twenty-one years old."

"I think Duke Qin Jiang Shaohuai is a good match for him."

Now that Chang Ning's reputation in the army is growing, the Second Prince has also become wary of her.

Therefore, he planned to marry Changning to Jiang Shaohuai and imprison her in the inner courtyard.

"Yes! Duke Qin is a young and talented man, and he is also the commander of the imperial guards. He is a perfect match for the princess."

The ministers in the Second Prince's camp also stood up to support the Second Prince's words.

Zhou Hui stood in the crowd and watched the ministers come out one after another to support this matter.

The emperor felt disappointed when he saw those who supported the second prince.

Before he died, these people relied on the second brother.

It seems that the second brother is too careless.

"Princess Changning, you are brave and good at fighting. You repelled the enemy and captured two cities. I am very pleased. I have specially given you the title of Protector of the Country and granted you marriage to the eldest son of Duke Cheng'en, Ji Wan. I have ordered the princess to return to the capital to prepare for the wedding."

The emperor looked at these people. Didn’t he know that Jiang Shaohuai was the second-in-command’s man?

"Ji Wan, the eldest son of Duke Cheng'en, is extremely skilled in martial arts and talented, so he is specially appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards."

The emperor issued two orders in succession, which directly increased the strength of the fourth brother and made the second brother's plans all fail.

*

In the Second Prince's residence, he was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand and said angrily: "What does father mean? Is he intending to let the fourth son succeed to the throne?"

As a prince, how could he not have ambitions?

In the past, with the crown prince and the third prince around, he could only keep a low profile.

But now he brought up the fourth child again. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the fourth child?

Jiang Shaohuai sat on a chair, drinking tea slowly, and said with a smile: "Second Prince, why are you in such a hurry? You should think about how to get rid of Zhou Hui."

These days, Jiang Shaohuai always has the same dream.

In the dream, Ran'er did not die, nor did she enter the Eastern Palace.

Although her relationship with him had its ups and downs, she eventually had a child with him and lived a happy life together.

He had a feeling that what happened in his dream was real.

It’s just that changes occur because of the appearance of anomalies.

This outlier should be a cycle.

In the dream, Zhou Hui fell in love with Ran'er.

Ran'er is always put first, even Shen Tang died protecting Ran'er.

But what about in reality?

Although Lin's mother also died, Ran'er was well protected by him.

She has never been involved in any sexual activity and is innocent and naive, like a pure little girl.

"Zhou Hui? Although he is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, he has a normal relationship with us and has no vested interests. We don't need to worry about him."

In the eyes of the second prince, Zhou Hui is just a henpecked man. Although he is capable, he is afraid of his wife.

This is the disadvantage, and it also means that he is a lone minister and cannot unite with others.

After all, his wife was just an orphan and couldn't offer any support at all.

"But he has a very good relationship with Princess Changning."

Jiang Shaohuai felt uneasy. He always felt that Zhou Hui could do something shocking.

"Don't worry about it. The most important thing is the fourth son's matter. After all, he is the legitimate son."

The person the Second Prince cares about most is the Fourth Prince.

As for Zhou Hui and Changning, they were not within his consideration.

*

After receiving the imperial edict, Changning, who was far away in the border town, handed over the military power to the person he trusted most, and headed for the capital with a hundred Dark Spirit Guards.

Zhou Hui told her not to be anxious and to walk slowly.

The second prince in the capital became more and more irritable because the fourth prince became more and more favored.

According to the information sent by his secret spies in the palace, his father was even asking the fourth son to read the memorials.

Three months later, the emperor fell ill and the fourth prince helped to handle state affairs.

The second prince was extremely anxious and discussed with Jiang Shaohuai about starting a rebellion.

When Zhou Hui learned about this, he asked Princess Changning to return to the capital quietly.

At Zhou Hui's home, Zhou Hui was holding Xiaoman, with Shen Tang sitting next to him and Changning sitting opposite him.

They sat together drinking tea and discussing the palace coup.

"I didn't expect that my second brother could not help himself and actually thought about rebelling."

Changning had a faint smile on her face. She didn't expect that her second brother would be so impatient.

"Because the emperor is really ill."

Zhou Hui fed Xiaoman egg custard while talking about things in the palace.

"Thank you!"

Changning thanked him. If Zhou Hui hadn't given her the Dark Spirit Guard, she would have been unable to do anything.

"You're welcome!"

Zhou Hui took out the letter from his arms and pushed it directly to Chang Ning, saying, "Take a look at this letter."

Chang Ning opened the envelope and looked at it carefully. She angrily slammed her hands on the table and said, "This is absolutely abominable!"

"It's really abominable. You should know the life of the people in Ningguo now. I have sent other people to the mountains to protect these children."

Zhou Hui also sent Dark Spirit Guards to other places just to protect those girls as they grew up.

"I see."

Changning looked at Xiaoman who was eating the egg custard obediently, and couldn't help but think of the girls she saw at the border, who were skinny and begging on the streets.

*

The second prince finally forced the emperor to abdicate and sat beside his father's bed.

Jiang Shaohuai placed his knife on the Fourth Prince's neck, raised his hand and slashed off the Fourth Prince's hands.

"Father, look, it seems that you have no other choice except me. Why don't you tell me where the jade seal is?"

The second prince smiled as he looked at his father who was lying on the bed, too frightened to speak, his joy was beyond words.

"Father, when you pass away, I will also send them all away to be buried with you."

A ruthless light flashed in the eyes of the second prince. He was determined to kill all the princes who could succeed him.

At this time, the door was opened.

Chang Ning came in with her people. She was wearing armor and said with a smile, "Second brother, who do you want to send down? Me? Or you?"

Changning chuckled, thinking that his second brother was really generous.

"Queen!"

The fourth brother shouted out in surprise, he didn't expect that the royal sister would come back.

He endured the pain in his wrist, looked at the second prince angrily, and then fainted.

"The Second Prince is forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebelling. He must be executed!"

After Changning spoke, a Dark Spirit Guard drew out his sword and slashed across, directly chopping off the second prince's head.

Jiang Shaohuai also prepared to fight back, but was also killed by the Dark Spirit Guards.

Changning walked to the bedside and looked at his father, whose face was stained with blood and whose eyes could not help but tremble.

She reached out and wiped the blood off his face, sighed softly, and said, "Father, you have doted on me for many years, I should have let you die of old age."

"But I didn't expect that the second brother would force the emperor to abdicate and cut off the fourth brother's hand."

"Father, I am going to ascend the throne as the empress. You will definitely be happy, right?"

Hearing this, the emperor's hands began to tremble. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"Father, I don't want to be a gift, nor do I want to be eaten by fish. So, please die!"

Changning took out a porcelain bottle from her hand and fed it directly into the emperor's mouth, smiling very happily.

After the emperor passed away, Princess Changning succeeded to the throne in front of the emperor's coffin and named the reign title Zhaoren.

Shufei was the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, also known as Mingci.

Of course, there are people who object.

However, all those who raised objections were beheaded, their three clans were exterminated, the word "rebel" was tattooed on them, and they were sent to Xishan City to mine.

As a result, a lot of official positions were left over, and Zhou Hui was appointed Minister of Revenue.

When the emperor ascended the throne, the previous emperor passed away and he issued a general amnesty!

All the death row prisoners were spared, tattooed with the word "prisoner" on them and sent to Xishan City to mine.

When the emperor came to power, he ordered the Ministry of Revenue to develop improved varieties of crops, and the Ministry of War to gather craftsmen to develop weapons.

He also ordered the Ministry of Industry to develop agricultural tools and refine iron and other materials.

When Zhou Hui first arrived at the Ministry of Revenue as the Minister, he naturally knew that the Ministry of Revenue had no money.

He came to the Qinzheng Hall and wrote his ideas to Empress Zhaoren.

After reading the letter, she said, "Are you talking about issuing government bonds? Can this raise money?"

Only when you manage a household do you know how expensive firewood and rice are. She only now realizes that the Ministry of Revenue is short of money and suffers losses every year.
