Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

For the first time, Jiang Jiu felt the power of Kung Fu.

Zhao Zhuoxi held her waist and she landed gently on the snow, leaving no footprints.

I followed the man in black all the way to the back mountain.

Sure enough, there was a tree beside the stream. As for what kind of tree it was, the leaves had fallen off and only the trunk remained, so Jiang Jiu couldn't tell.

The main thing is that there is only a grave under that tree.

Zhou Min's body was right there, and when the man in black came under the tree, Jiang Jiu saw Zhou Min's maid Xiaoqing kneeling down to the man in black.

Jiang Jiu was stunned and his eyes widened.

The man in black was obviously Ye Guzhou, why would Xiaoqing kneel down to him?

Zhao Zhuoxi also stared blankly without saying a word. After a while, several men in black appeared and dug up the grave under the tree.

Zhao Zhuoxi took Jiang Jiu to change the angle and found that there was no body in the grave at all. It was an empty grave.

Now that Zhou Min's body has been placed in there, the grave is no longer empty.

Wait until all these things are done.

Xiaoqing left with Ye Guzhou.

Zhao Zhuoxi and Jiang Jiu were stunned by what they saw.

But as soon as Ye Guzhou left, Zhao Zhuoxi seemed to suddenly understand something and rushed over with Jiang Jiu.

"Third brother, you are not Ye Guzhou, you are actually the third brother, right?"

Ye Guzhou suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Zhao Zhuoxi, and slowly peeled off the mask on his face, revealing his true face.

It really is the late former crown prince, the third prince.

"Xiaojiu, go back. It's time for me to go too. Dust rises and dust falls, and everything is over."

Zhao Zhuoxi was very confused.

"Third brother, back then you gave up your role as Crown Prince and actually hooked up with a woman. Now that the corrupt officials are in control of the government, they've sidelined our eldest brother. Don't you feel bad?"

The Third Prince said, "It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. Daning will not be destroyed, but without me, Yao'er will die..."

There was a tremor of meaning in Zhao Zhuoxi's indignant voice.

"For a woman... Third Brother..."

He couldn't understand why the prince he respected the most would give up the world for a woman.

The Third Prince pondered for a moment: "Anyone can be the ruler of the world, but Yao'er's man can only be me... Xiaojiu, once you experience it, you will understand."

After saying that, the Third Prince took Xiaoqing and his men and left.

Jiang Jiu also found it unbelievable. Men would disregard everything for their careers, but the third prince was an exception. He was the prince's man, and he was willing to fake his death for a woman.

It can be seen that the affairs of the third prince have a great impact on Zhao Zhuoxi.

The next day, news came from the capital.

It was said that the third prince's wife committed suicide for the third prince, and the emperor even gave her a special reward and awarded the Zhou family a chastity arch.

In order to handle the funeral, Shen had to take a few people back to the Zhou family.

After returning to Zhou's house and seeing Nishang again, Jiang Jiu finally understood the real cause of Zhou Min's death.

It’s really a coincidence.

Chu Yu wanted to study poisons, so she stole the poison from Chang Pingping and also stole Xiaoqing's antidote.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Min also had poison on him.

Moreover, Zhou Min knew that Chang Pingping wanted to poison Jiang Jiu, so she asked Chang Pingping to make some snacks, sprinkled poison on the snacks, and then asked Chang Tingting to give the snacks to Jiang Jiu.

This is why Chang Tingting wanted to send snacks to Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi when they were being affectionate in the room.

But all of this was seen by Ye Guzhou who was hiding in the house.

He secretly replaced the two plates of snacks without making a sound.

He actually didn't want to poison Zhou Min, but he didn't expect Xiaoqing's antidote to be ineffective.

It was not until Zhou Min was poisoned that he discovered that the poison Zhou Min was poisoned with was the same as the poison Jiang Yao was poisoned with.

The antidote that Ye Guzhou had been searching for was actually in Zhou Min's hands.

It was Zhou Min who poisoned Jiang Yao back then.

When the truth was revealed, Ye Guzhou was deeply traumatized.

You have to know that it was because Jiang Yao was poisoned that Jiang Yao misunderstood him as the murderer and shot him for no reason.

Later, in order to detoxify, Ye Guzhou searched all over the country, but he never expected that the antidote was just around the corner.

So, he showed up and questioned Zhou Min whether she was the one who poisoned Jiang Yao.

Zhou Min was already dying at that time, but she didn't expect that Ye Guzhou would rather stay with Jiang Yao's soul for more than ten years than be with her.

Her heart died and she told the truth.

She was the one who used the poison from the Third Prince's men.

After she died, the Third Prince did not want her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so he asked Xiaoqing to bury her under the peach tree.

The grudge between the three people is now understood.

Jiang Jiu finally understood that Ye Guzhou was the Third Prince, and the Third Prince was Ye Guzhou.

Ye Guzhou is Jiang Yao's servant and the person who loves Jiang Yao the most.

After a while, news came from Sucheng that Ye Guzhou had passed away.

Jiang Jiuze received a handwritten letter from Ye Guzhou, which was exactly what she had guessed.

At the end of the letter, Ye Guzhou pointed out that Jiang Yao had indeed started to make cannons and had already completed them, but they were sealed because of their great power.

Ye Guzhou said that if Zhao Zhuoxi felt that the eldest prince was not suitable to be the emperor, he could fight for it himself. In short, the world could be in the hands of their Zhao family, but not the Zhou family.

In February, Wu Yuan received a letter from Beiqiang saying that he had found the iron mine, dug out a lot of iron, and found a famous local blacksmith to smelt it.

Along with his letter came the carless iron ore.

Jiang Jiu asked Xiao Yimo to hand it over to the old man to see if he could fire the cannon again.

After the Chinese New Year, the Zhou family encountered misfortunes one after another, and Prime Minister Zhou became a little panicked. Old Mrs. Zhou moved directly to the Guanyin Temple to pray for the Zhou family.

The Chang sisters and Jiang Jiu still live in the Zhou family.

Their marriage was put on hold due to the series of funerals.

The most abnormal one was the ninth prince Zhao Zhuoxi. He had originally planned to leave after the Chinese New Year, but he stayed in the capital until February and there was no sign of him leaving.

Instead, he ran to the palace all day long.

The Queen's bedroom.

Queen Zhou's sisters all died unexpectedly, which made her suspect that someone had tampered with them.

But she searched for a long time and still had no clue.

The disappearance of Zhou Min's maid Xiaoqing made things even more confusing.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has summoned the Ninth Prince to play chess in the palace again. Ever since the Ninth Prince presented one or two beauties to His Majesty, Your Majesty has either been staying in the bedroom or summoning the Ninth Prince to play chess. It's not enough that he doesn't come to visit Your Majesty, but he even ignores the Crown Prince."

Aunt Xiang, who served Empress Zhou, couldn't help but complain about the emperor's coldness.

Queen Zhou remained calm, and a young eunuch hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister learned that your health was not good, so he specially sent you a thousand-year-old snow ginseng to nourish your body."

Whenever Prime Minister Zhou sent something over, no one would check it.

There must be important news in it.

Aunt Xiang took the box and put it in Queen Zhou's hand. When she opened it, she found a piece of snow-white ginseng and a letter underneath.

After reading it carefully, Zhou Hou threw it directly into the fireplace in the house.

In an instant, a cloud of ash flew up and fell down again, leaving no trace of the letter.
