Zhao Qing*** didn't intend to get an answer from Aunt Chang, and her eyes fell back on the information in her hand.

She sneered, "This royal brother of mine has really failed. Even his confidants are not on the same page with him."

Aunt Chang didn't respond, but just watched her eyes gradually brighten.

She had seen how charming and elegant *** was when she was young, and thought she would never have the chance to see it again in her lifetime, but now it seems that it might still be possible.

Zhao Qing *** is a man of swift and decisive actions.

The next morning at court, the incident in Shengzhou was exposed.

The emperor was furious and reprimanded the third prince in court. He also directly dismissed several officials involved.

Everyone thought that the emperor was so angry because of the Shengzhou incident, but smart people could guess that part of the reason why the emperor was angry was because of the retired Zhaoqing Queen.

Not long ago, the court was still mocking the Beisheng Kingdom for allowing a woman like Shen Qiuyun to enter the court. Now that Miss Zhaoqing has volunteered to take charge of Shengzhou, no one can laugh anymore.

Jiang Wansang could not see what was happening in the court, but Pei Zhanzhou knew that she cared about it, so he would personally report what was happening in the court to her every day.

Originally, when Zhao Qing wanted to interfere in Shengzhou's affairs, he was opposed by everyone. But within two days, those people changed their minds and began to support him.

No one knew what methods Empress Zhao Qing had used, but she was victorious in the end. The Third Prince was even confined to his residence, awaiting further punishment after the Shengzhou incident was resolved.

Because of this, everyone in the court was worried and thinking about how to avoid being implicated in this matter. It seemed that no one took the initiative to think about solving the Shengzhou issue first.

Only Chen Jing and a few other young people who had just passed the imperial examination were thinking about how to solve the problems in Shengzhou, but they had no foundation or background, nor did they hold any important positions, so they were powerless even though they had the will.

Originally, Emperor Zhaoqing planned to return to Puding Temple after resolving the Shengzhou issue. However, when he saw the current state of the court, he immediately took ruthless measures to rectify it. He ran into the emperor several times, but Emperor Zhaoqing did not back down at all.

The emperor's authority was threatened, and the emperor's originally respectful attitude towards Zhao Qingma changed. He accused Zhao Qingma of meddling too much in front of everyone more than once.

The result is that Zhao Qing has more control.

Although Jiang Wansang did not see these things with her own eyes, after hearing what Pei Zhanzhou recounted, she knew that her arrangements during this period were not in vain.

Miss Zhaoqing was already ambitious, and her ambition had not dissipated even after more than 20 years of living in seclusion. If she told Miss Zhaoqing more about Shen Qiuyun's entry into the court, the flame in her heart would naturally become even bigger.

The imperial court began to pay attention to Shengzhou, and relief supplies were ready and on the way. Everything was moving in a good direction, but suddenly bad news came from Shengzhou:

There is a plague in Shengzhou!

After the flood, crops and farmland were destroyed. The people already had nothing to eat, and the government was still increasing taxes.

There was no other way. In order to survive, the people could only dig out rat holes and snake nests to find food, and the only water they could drink was the dirty flood water. A large number of people died in less than two months.

With no food or water, and no money to bury the dead, the starving people set their sights on the sick and dead...

After the news reached the imperial city, the third prince collapsed to the ground.

He knew that he was completely finished this time!

Sure enough, the imperial edict to confiscate the property was delivered to the Third Prince’s mansion that night.

After all, he was a prince, so it was impossible to really chop off the third prince's head. He was just demoted to a commoner, and all his family members and property were confiscated according to the law.

When the Third Prince was deposed, many ministers in the court were also implicated, including the Crown Prince and Su Huanyu who took advantage of the situation.

They were all very happy to get rid of the powerful enemy, the Third Prince, but they didn't know that their every move was seen by Miss Zhao Qing, which further strengthened her determination.

The plague is such a serious matter that the most important thing at the moment should be to find a way to solve the plague in Shengzhou, but from the emperor to the court officials, everyone is thinking about fighting for power and profit.

The throne that she had worked so hard to secure for the emperor was handed over to such a rotten court. It was simply not worth it!

The court was bustling with activity, and Pei Zhanzhou was certainly not idle either.

As the imperial teacher, it is his duty to share the emperor's worries.

So not long after the plague broke out in Shengzhou, he suggested that Jiang Zihan, who had superb medical skills and was very likely a celestial being, lead the imperial physicians to Shengzhou.

The matter of the celestial maiden had been on the emperor's mind for a long time. Now was the time when he needed the celestial maiden, so the emperor agreed without any hesitation.

When the imperial edict reached the prime minister's residence, Meng Lianshu was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Oh my God, that’s a deadly plague, how could Han’er go to such a place!

Meng Lianshu cried and made a fuss, disagreeing, but Jiang Gaoyuan didn't care about her opinion and directly asked someone to prepare things for Jiang Zihan to go out.

The emperor had just issued an edict to demote the third prince, and had demoted so many ministers in the court. If he dared to disobey the edict at this time, he would probably have no hope of getting the position of prime minister.

When Jiang Wansang heard the news from Sang Ge, she just wanted to laugh.

Jiang Zihan in the book is a real rich girl who is loved by everyone. But when it comes to their own interests, how could so many people put her first?

Did she know that on the night the imperial edict came down, Jiang Zihan secretly went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to find Su Huanyu?

Although no one knew what the two said, Jiang Zihan, who had originally resisted going to Shengzhou, not only agreed, but also took the initiative to pack up the things he wanted.

Su Huanyu was a selfish person and had no awareness of protecting the people of the city, so when he asked Jiang Zihan to go to Shengzhou, his biggest consideration was definitely because she was his future princess.

Even the love between the hero and heroine has to take a back seat in the face of the interests of the struggle for imperial power. It's really ridiculous!

Jiang Zihan was going to Shengzhou, and Jiang Wansang naturally planned to go with him.

Originally, she wanted to prevent the outbreak of the plague in Shengzhou, and for this purpose she made a lot of preparations with Pei Zhanzhou. However, God was on the side of the hero and heroine, not only bringing the plague forward, but also sending Jiang Zihan to Shengzhou ahead of time.

If she didn't go along, perhaps the whole city would be burned down just to enhance the heroine's reputation, and then all her and Pei Zhanzhou's previous efforts would be in vain.

When Pei Zhanzhou learned that she was going to Shengzhou, he stopped her without thinking, "You don't have a way to treat the plague. What if you go there and get hurt accidentally..."

Pei Zhanzhou couldn't imagine the consequences of that, and said firmly, "I won't let you go!"

Jiang Wansang didn't understand why he had such a big reaction and frowned, "If I want to go, you can't stop me."

Her current abilities are no different from her peak in her previous life. As long as she wants, no one can stop her.

Pei Zhanzhou certainly knew her skills and knew that what she said was true, and his cold and hard face was tense.

He looked at Jiang Wansang's stubborn expression, his heart trembling slightly, "I don't want to see anything happen to you, I... I can't bear it..."
