Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

When the lady heard the guard's call, she quickly replied, "Everything is fine in the backyard. Can you get any news about the Duke?"

The guard replied from outside the courtyard: "Madam, the streets outside are full of soldiers. It is unlikely that you will be able to leave the house."

"Wait a moment, I'll take someone out quietly to check. If I get any news, I'll come back and report to Madam immediately."

Xu Miao and those old women were guarding the lady in the backyard, and all the guards in the outer courtyard knew about it.

Before the Duke left, he told them to just guard the gate of Duke Ding's Mansion.

In the backyard, the Duke has made arrangements.

Xu Miao and his wife waited until midnight before Zhou Chenli hurried back home from the palace.

Zhou Chenli hurried back to the backyard, and only when he saw that his wife and daughter were safe and sound did he finally put his mind at ease.

When the lady saw Zhou Chenli, she burst into tears and said, "Duke, if you knew what happened at the palace banquet tonight, I would never let you go to the palace alone."

"If anything happens to you, I won't live either!"

Ever since Xiwang's wife started making trouble without any warning, the lady's heart felt as if it was hung high up by an invisible thread, hanging in her throat.

Her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety. She stared at the door, turning a deaf ear to all the noise around her. All kinds of ominous premonitions kept emerging in her mind, and every passing minute and every second seemed to be grinding on her heart.

Until she saw Zhou Chenli walk into the house safely and appear in front of her, intact and unharmed.

The string that the lady had been holding tight broke in an instant.

The emotions that had been pent up for so long burst out like a flood, and she could no longer maintain her pretended strong appearance.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, first silently, then uncontrollable sobbing, and finally burst into tears.

The crying was filled with the fear of surviving a disaster, and the body was shaking violently as he cried, with no signs of stopping.

The lady had never encountered such a thing before. She was frightened when she suddenly saw Xiwang's wife rushing out with a steel knife.

Zhou Chenli hugged his wife and coaxed her for a long time before she stopped crying.

Only then did Zhou Chenli feel like telling Xu Miao and the others about what happened at the palace banquet.

The palace banquet was halfway through when Prince Rui took advantage of the Empress Dowager's return to the palace to start a quarrel with the Emperor in the banquet hall.

At first, he wanted to capture the Queen Mother and the Empress to threaten the Emperor.

But unexpectedly, among the people who sent the Empress Dowager back to the palace, there was also such a ruthless person as the Crown Princess.

As soon as the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess sent the Queen Mother back to the palace, some palace maids started making trouble in the Queen Mother's palace.

The Crown Princess immediately commanded the guards in the palace to fight with these troublemakers.

The Crown Princess has always been very low-key and never steals the spotlight at palace banquets.

But when the fight really started, she was even more ruthless than the guards in the palace.

It didn't take long for him to bring his guards and overthrow all those who were causing trouble in the Empress Dowager's palace.

During the fight, the prince's hand was severely injured in order to protect the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager also fainted in the palace due to fright.

When the Queen Mother saw that the Prince was seriously injured, she kept crying and calling for the imperial physician.

The harem was in chaos.

Prince Rui did not gain any benefits in the palace banquet hall. Not long after he made a fuss, he was tied up by the General of Cavalry and thrown at the feet of the current emperor.

When the court officials who had followed Prince Rui in the rebellion saw that Prince Rui was tied up by the General of Cavalry, they were so scared that they knelt before the emperor and begged for mercy.

Prince Rui's mutiny was like a joke and was quickly suppressed.

The only one who got into trouble in this farce was the prince.

The prince's arm was chopped off by thieves, and he became a one-armed prince.

Zhou Chenli had long noticed Prince Rui's actions, and from the beginning of the palace banquet, he claimed that he had caught a cold from his daughter.

She sat far away in a corner of the palace banquet hall, not next to the emperor and the empress dowager as usual.

As soon as Prince Rui started to make a fuss, Zhou Chenli quietly hid in a corner, surrounded by guards whom he had bribed at great expense.

It was not until the emperor had taken down Prince Rui's faction that Zhou Chenli rushed out from the corner, crying and shouting, to the emperor.

He screamed, asking the emperor to kill Prince Rui and his gang immediately. Otherwise, who knows who would come after him to oppose the emperor under the banner of Prince Rui.

The emperor was also very angry about his brother's behavior.

This Prince Rui is his youngest brother, and the emperor has always raised him as his own son.

I provided him with fine clothes and delicious food, but I didn't expect that he would turn out to be an ungrateful person.

The emperor was furious and beheaded all the court officials who had conspired with Prince Rui to cause trouble, including Prince Rui himself.

Only then did I have time to return to the harem to see what was going on with the Queen Mother and the others.

When the emperor saw the one-armed prince, he sighed in his heart: The prince is useless now.

Since ancient times, no one-armed prince has been able to become emperor.

When he heard that it was the Crown Princess who took action, he commanded the harem guards to resist the thieves together.

I felt a little relieved.

This Crown Princess was the daughter-in-law he fell in love with at first sight, and he didn't notice anything different about her.

But at the critical moment, it was the daughter-in-law who took action and prevented the thieves who were causing trouble in the harem from succeeding.

The Queen Mother was the saddest one when she saw that the Prince had become one-armed.

He cried and begged the emperor to invite the best doctor in the Zhou Dynasty to reattach the prince's broken arm.

The Empress also knew that if the Crown Prince became one-armed, the Emperor would definitely not pass the throne to him.

If the prince cannot become emperor, then her dream of becoming empress dowager will be completely shattered.

The Queen shouted at the Crown Princess, "You must have done this on purpose! Why didn't you stop the sword from coming towards the Crown Prince?"

When the Crown Princess heard the Queen's quarrel, she stood aside silently without responding.

The Crown Princess thought to herself... I did it on purpose. If the Crown Prince became the emperor, she would have no good life.

The Crown Princess had long given up on the Crown Prince, and now she was thinking of letting her son succeed to the throne.

If the emperor wanted to give the throne to someone else, she would take her children back to the northern border to live.

Even the General of Cavalry and his wife would go back to the northern border with her.

After listening to Zhou Chenli's story, Xu Miao and his wife all felt that Prince Rui was courting death.

Instead of being a good prince, he had to start a mutiny.

This would mean risking your own life.

And those court officials who colluded with Prince Rui to cause trouble were also kicked in the head by a donkey.

It is not so easy to get the credit of following the dragon.

This time he lost his life and property, and did not have a good end.
