Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Zhou Xiuniang wanted to struggle, but the prince pulled her into his arms.

The prince suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. He didn't know why his face turned red, but he immediately realized that the other person was a man, so why should he blush?

Zhou Xiuniang is a daughter after all, and her height and figure are definitely a little smaller than the prince's.

The prince felt more and more uncomfortable. Could it be that he had become abnormal because he had stayed in the palace for too long?

Why the more I look at this brother, the more...

The prince immediately shook his head vigorously, wanting to get rid of this thought in his mind as soon as possible.

I am absolutely grateful to this brother and have no other thoughts.

"I don't even know your name, brother. Now you are my lifesaver. Even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, let alone this great favor of saving my life."

Zhou Xiuniang lowered her head. She had no choice but to make up a name because she must not let the prince know her identity.

"My surname is Chen, and I am a pariah!"

The prince smiled and supported Zhou Xiuniang, saying, "So it's Mr. Chen. Don't refuse. I see you're still unmarried at your age, right? Men are a bit rough after all. You and I will go to the East Palace. I'll have the palace maids serve you for a few days. It won't be too late to go home after you've recovered from your injuries. If you're really worried about your elders at home, why not send a letter to them?"

The prince secretly inquired about Zhou Xiuniang's situation.

Zhou Xiuniang also understood the hidden meaning in the prince's words. She was now more worried that the prince would discover her true identity, so she had to continue making up lies.

"My parents have passed away, and I don't have any friends or relatives around me. That's why I've been living out here, barely able to eat. How can I afford to marry a wife?"

At the prince's strong request, Zhou Xiuniang had to go back with him to the East Palace to treat her injuries.

Zhou Xiuniang had been away for several days before, so she was not worried about anything happening at the Wen family, after all, she had her two maids to smooth things over for her.

She only told others that she was fulfilling a vow and would be copying scriptures in the house for a few days without seeing anyone. This has always been Zhou Xiuniang's excuse for going out for several days.

Wen Shichu didn't like Zhou Xiuniang. He wished Zhou Xiuniang didn't see him. Instead, he was very happy that Zhou Xiuniang was not around all day.

The news of the prince's assassination soon reached Su Chou's ears, and he quickly reported the matter to Yixiu.

By the time the prince's guards found the men in black, they had all committed suicide, leaving no one alive.

Yixiu thought about it and prepared to tell the emperor about this matter, and she exaggerated it.

Yixiu covered her eyes with a handkerchief, fearing that the emperor would see that she was crying fake tears.

"Your Majesty, how could this child be assassinated outside? I am truly terrified. I only have this one son. If anything were to happen to him, how would I live?"

The emperor coughed violently a few times. He had finally calmed down a little in the past few days, but he was so angry about this incident that he started coughing again.

"How dare you! How dare you plot to murder the crown prince when you all think I'm sick."

The emperor also understood that the most suitable heir was the crown prince. Although the second prince was also very outstanding, he was not as experienced as the crown prince in understanding some political views.

Although the emperor didn't want to admit it, he still had to admire his royal father. After all, he was a child raised by his royal father and was successful in both literature and martial arts.

There's no need to mention the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. One is a complete idiot to the extreme. If we hand over the country to this guy, even the ancestor's coffin won't be able to hold him down.

The Fourth Prince's biological mother was just a palace maid in the Old Summer Palace. She was of low status and did not deserve this position.

The emperor issued an order, asking his men to conduct a thorough investigation into the assassination of the crown prince. If there was anyone suspicious, it would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go.

Everyone in the court was suddenly in a panic, and some even thought that this was a self-directed act by the prince to eliminate dissidents.

When the crown prince was assassinated, the first suspects were naturally those ministers who had a bad relationship with him or who had different political views from him. Now the ministers in the court also realized that something was wrong. The emperor had already made up his mind to hand over the country to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Tongjia Mansion

Ever since she was rescued by the young man in white in the restaurant, it was like a seed was planted in Tong Jia Shuyue's heart. The seed took root and sprouted day after day, and was deeply rooted in Tong Jia Shuyue's heart.

But she also knew that she was going to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No matter how good that man was, she couldn't even dream of him.

Tong Jia Suyue was the legitimate daughter of the family and had been highly regarded since childhood. Even if Longkodo did not marry her to the prince, he would have promised her an important official in the court to consolidate the family's power.

Because of this, he was very strict with Tong Jia Shuyue.

Not only did she have to control her diet like those concubines' daughters to achieve a perfect figure and appearance, she also had to learn how to manage the household, needlework, and even some policy theories that men learned.

When she was a child and reading the Four Books, Longkodo told her that if she wanted to be noticed by others, she had to have the capital to be noticed by others.

If she can do what others can do, that's nothing, but if she can do what others can't do, then others can see her good qualities.

Although Tong Jia Suoyue often received envious glances from her half-sisters, she also felt very hard and depressed.

She even felt that only that time in the restaurant that day did her life seem truly lived.

The door creaked open, interrupting Tong Jia Suyue's thoughts.

The maid Xi Que said, "Miss, the old master wants you to come over and talk."

Tong Jia Suyue nodded, carefully checked whether her outfit for today was suitable, and then took Xi Que to Longkodo.

Tong Jia Suyue walked lightly and politely to Longkodo, "Granddaughter pays respects to grandfather, may grandfather live long and happy. I wonder if you have any instructions for me, grandfather?"

Longkodo looked up and down at the well-behaved and polite Tong Jia Suyue, and twirled his beard with satisfaction.

He smiled as if he was looking at a fine commodity, "All these years of training have been well spent. Now, the opportunity has finally arrived."

He asked Tong Jia Shuoyue to sit on the chair, and then told her his thoughts.

"Grandfather just received news that the Crown Prince was assassinated and is now recuperating in the Eastern Palace. I'm afraid the Emperor has already made up his mind to pass the throne to the Crown Prince. You must seize the position of Crown Princess."

As long as it is accomplished one day, Tong Jia Suoyue will be the queen.

Empress Xiaoyiren was only crowned as empress before her death. If her granddaughter were the legitimate wife and empress, what an honor it would be!
