The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Soon, the news from the palace spread throughout the entire Chang'an City.

There is no other way. It is too difficult to hide the news in front of everyone.

The people of Chang'an City all knew that the prince who returned to Chang'an City was a fake.

The real prince was plotted against by those around him, and now he is probably in danger.

The fake prince wanted to take his place, but his plan was discovered by the Crown Princess and he was killed on the spot.

A few days later, an imperial decree was issued from the palace, and the news of the emperor's death was sent to all provinces and counties across the country.

Common people have to take off their crowns and wear mourning clothes during the 27 days.

No prayers or sacrifices are allowed within twenty-seven days, no marriage is allowed within one month, no slaughter is allowed within forty-nine days, and no entertainment is allowed within one hundred days.

News has already spread within the palace that preparations are being made for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites have all started preparing for the coronation ceremony in advance.

Although they couldn't hold weddings or funerals, the women in the rear house still kept moving around.

Now that the Crown Princess has supporters among the people, those women trapped in the harem now have something to talk about.

They also didn't expect that the Crown Princess, whom they looked down upon in the past, actually had such great abilities.

She actually saved the situation twice with her body as a woman.

Now they have turned around and started to lead their husbands or fathers-in-law.

It really opened their eyes and the door to another world.

Women don't necessarily always follow men.

The Li family of the Zhongshu Ling.

Li Chun looked at his grandchildren and said, "From now on, all girls under the age of five must be well trained!"

Old Madam Li glanced at her husband. This old man has been really drifting lately.

However, she would not undermine her husband.

"Okay, all of you go down. No matter if it's boys or girls, you must not slack off in the education of your family."

"Yes, Mother/Grandma!"

Li's daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law all walked down in an orderly manner.

After everyone left, Mrs. Li looked at her husband and said, "You are paying attention to the girls in your family now. Are you trying to choose a wife for your grandson?"

Li Chun stroked his beard, "The previous emperor passed away, the crown prince fell off a cliff, and the crown prince's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion."

"The Ministry of Rites has already prepared for the crown prince's enthronement. All they have to do is find the crown prince's body."

Madam Li asked, "Are you so sure that the Crown Prince can ascend the throne?"

Li Chun's eyebrows raised, "If the Crown Prince doesn't ascend the throne, does that mean the Crown Princess wants to be the Empress?"

Although Li Chun supported the Crown Princess to be in power, he only supported her to manage the country when the Crown Prince was young. He still believed that patriarchy was the ruling class.

Madam Li shook her head, "No, that's not what I meant. I just think that the Crown Princess is an extraordinary girl.

Her thoughts are too hard to guess, and her schemes are not low."

"Although you have done the job of prime minister, the title has not been confirmed. Now you have become a sitting duck in the court!"

Li Chun: “…”

Li Chun paused as he stroked his beard.

After thinking for a moment, I figured out some things.

Two strands of his beard were pulled out. "Oh no! I've fallen into the trap of the Crown Princess!"

Madam Li rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You should keep your head down from now on. Let's wait and see what's going on in the palace. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly."

Li Chun sighed, "Recently, the ministers in the court have been fighting like black-eyed chickens for the position of assistant minister. I am now caught in the middle of the game!"

Madam Li said calmly: “Since you are involved in this, just continue to muddy the water.

Just be more low-key in front of the Crown Princess!"

Li Chun slapped his forehead, stood up and bowed to Madam Li, "Thanks to you for reminding me!"

Li Chun was just a farmer's son. After he passed the imperial examination, he was chosen as a son-in-law by the Fang family, and this marriage came about.

Over the years, Li Chun and his wife Fang have always had a good relationship.

Li Chun was promoted so quickly thanks to the support of his father-in-law.

Now that the Fang family has no outstanding descendants, they have to rely on the Li family.

Li Chun is indeed not an ungrateful person and he has always been very respectful to his wife over the years.

Mrs. Li was old, and seeing her husband still the same as before, she burst out laughing, "Hey, I hope you don't mind my nagging."

Li Chun smiled and said, "Madam, your reminder is just right!"

At this time, inside the palace.

There were several birds circling above the little lion's head, and they were chirping all the time.

"Mother, Daddy is with a man named Langbu. Who is Langbu?"

Qin Wan was also very emotional. She didn't expect that the person who saved Zhao Zhen was Lang Bu.

It's really a trick of fate.

"He is a friend of mother's from the past!"

The little lion seemed to understand, "Mom, those people are too stupid. They can't even find Daddy. Daddy is clearly in Xihe."

Qin Wan knew that the little lion was talking about Li Zhuo and others.

Qin Wan didn't complain. Finding someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, after knowing Zhao Zhen's location, she sent troops to bring Zhao Zhen back.

Qin Wan sent troops to the north, but it did not arouse the suspicion of the ministers in the court. After all, searching for the prince's body would require a lot of manpower and resources.

If we bring back the prince's body, the crown prince can ascend the throne.

West River.

On a small mountain path, Langbu was running quickly with Zhao Zhen on his back.

"Put me down and run away!"

Zhao Zhen was carried on Langbu's back. Besides feeling embarrassed, she also felt that this guy had bad luck.

Langbu was also very angry, "Shut up, or I'll throw you down!"

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Damn it, if this guy hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have allowed him to talk to him like that and would have dragged him out and beheaded him long ago.

At this time, arrows shot at the two of them from behind.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was wearing chain mail, and the arrow pierced his body, but he was not injured.

The enemy saw two people running in front, one of them was pierced with thorns like a hedgehog.

"Lomb, stop running. You can't escape!"

Langbu secretly cursed himself for being unlucky, and the Qi family was also haunting him.

He really didn't expect that the Qi family would dare to run to the Central Plains to hunt him down.

Langbu was carrying people on his back, so his speed was not that fast, and the enemy soon caught up with him.

Soon, he and Zhao Zhen were surrounded.

Qi Pei, dressed as a Han Chinese, rode on his horse and looked down at Langbu, "Langbu, you are really good at escaping!"

Langbu carried Zhao Zhen on his back and did not dare to put him down as the man's legs and arms could not move.

At this time, Qi Pei paid attention to the person behind Langbu. When he saw his face clearly, Qi Pei burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha........"

"I never thought there was a big fish here!"

"The Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty, hahaha!"

“Zhao Zhen, I didn’t expect you to fall into my hands, hahaha!”

Zhao Zhen stared at the back of Langbu's head with resentment.

Why did you take this guy with you when you ran away!!!
