The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Later, Jiang Zhixu was admitted as the third place in the imperial examination. Due to Nangong Yihua's true identity, the two of them quietly prayed to heaven and earth in the villa and got married.

Later, Jiang Zhixu took her back to the capital on the grounds that he had already married in his hometown.

However, Leng Shaohua, the eldest daughter who entered the palace, was also promoted to a noble concubine because of the great favor. On the one hand, she spared no effort to suppress the Nangong family, and on the other hand, she tried her best to advise the emperor to promote students from poor families in order to weaken the aristocratic families.

Because of this, Jiang Zhixu was highly valued by His Majesty all the way, and later he became the Prime Minister at a young age.

Later, when His Majesty passed away, Leng Shaohua purged the court with thundering means and supported his adopted son Ji Huaijin, who was only twelve years old, to ascend the throne.

On the day of the new emperor's coronation ceremony, she wore a red phoenix robe made by the empress dowager and a phoenix crown on her head. She sat behind the curtain and with a wave of the cinnabar imperial pen, she stripped Nangong Jue of all his official positions in the court.

From then on, she, the Empress Dowager Wende, took charge of the government, holding the jade seal and the golden seal in her hands, and all the officials in the court bowed their heads before her.

After Ji Huaijin came of age, Empress Dowager Wende retired, returned all government affairs to him, and retired to the palace to spend her remaining years.

Everything that seemed to be going well turned upside down and was destroyed after Ji Huaijin exposed his illicit thoughts.

Ji Huaijin announced to the public that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and did not allow anyone to visit her, but in fact he placed her under house arrest in the palace.

As she spoke, Granny Leng suddenly clenched her fingers, her tone filled with anger: "The current emperor actually coveted and imprisoned his concubine mother, forcing her to give birth to his eldest son!"

"It's so ridiculous!"

"The eldest lady escaped several times, but was eventually found by that lunatic Ji Huaijin and brought back to the palace..."

"Later, she simply stopped running and found a way to send me back to the Second Young Lady from where I was serving her."

"I thought she had figured it out, but I didn't expect her stubborn nature to make her choose death over submission..."

In the end, after giving birth to the child, Empress Dowager Wende committed suicide, causing Ji Huaijin to accidentally kill her himself.

She took revenge on Ji Huaijin in the most cruel way, making him live in regret and pain for the rest of his life.

Sister Nangong Yihua felt guilty and blamed herself for her sister entering the palace and ending up with a tragic fate.

She couldn't bear to see the little prince staying alone in the cannibalistic palace, living with the twisted and dark father who killed his mother.

So when the little prince was two years old, Nangong Yihua and Jiang Zhixu designed a fake death for the little prince, replaced him from the palace, secretly kept him by their side, and later named him Jiang Huaizhou.

It is taken from the hometown where the eldest daughter grew up, the "Huai" in "Huai Township".

After hearing this, Jiang Wantang almost understood the many complicated entanglements that happened back then, and also knew his own life experience.

It turns out that Qin is not her mother...

And she was not a child who was rejected by her biological mother since birth.

Her mother, Nangong Yihua, was a kind and gentle woman.

Unconsciously, a hint of red appeared in Jiang Wantang's eyes.

"Mother-in-law..."

Jiang Wantang spoke, his throat raw, "So, you were the ones who managed to transport Empress Dowager Wende's body back then?"

Granny Leng looked at her lovingly and slowly shook her head: "No."

"Ji Huaijin buried her in the Emperor's Mausoleum and sent people to guard it strictly. That place is not accessible to ordinary people."

Jiang Wantang was a little surprised: "If it's not you, then who could it be?"

At this time, Grandma Leng didn't say anything, but looked at Uncle Snake who had remained silent.

Uncle Snake looked at them and said coldly, "It's my original master who never married in his life!"

"The previous generation's King of the North—Murong Jin!"

"He is also my prince's biological uncle."

Brother Xiaoqi's biological uncle? !

Uncle Snake looked unwilling to say more and said coldly, "Back then, Miss Leng encountered bandits on her way back to the capital. My master rescued her and escorted her all the way back to the capital."

"Later..." Uncle Snake hesitated, sighed, and said simply: "Later, the two of them had a history."

"It's just that fate plays tricks on us..."

"Well, I won't go into the details."

"Anyway, it was my master who took away the remains of Empress Dowager Wende after her burial. He followed her wishes and buried her in her hometown, Huaixiang."

After saying that, Uncle Snake stopped talking.

Grandma Leng also kept shaking her head and sighing.

Jiang Wantang finally understood why the investigation into what happened back then led him to Uncle Snake's sphere of influence.

Mentioning Empress Dowager Wende, Granny Leng couldn't help but burst into tears again, choking up and saying, "At the beginning, I was afraid that my identity would bring disaster to the Second Young Lady if I stayed in the capital, so I returned to Huai Township with the Eldest Young Lady's body."

"I haven't set foot in the capital in these years."

"I don't know what happened afterwards..."

"I never thought Jiang Zhixu was such a hypocritical hypocrite. Not only did he betray the young lady, he also heartlessly abandoned her only child in the countryside!"

As she spoke, Granny Leng looked at Jiang Wantang in front of her with great distress, her mind filled with mixed emotions.

Her lips trembled: "Good boy, you have suffered over the years..."

After saying this, Granny Leng raised her hand and caressed Jiang Wantang's cheeks and eyebrows, her eyes filled with nostalgia and sadness: "Poor my two young ladies, they are kind-hearted, but they both have tragic fates and are so beautiful and short-lived..."

"Poor little lady, you are so lonely and helpless at a young age, and now you are trapped in the palace."

Grandma Leng cried and sobbed as she spoke.

Jiang Wantang was moved by her and couldn't help but shed tears.

......

Grandma Leng and Uncle Snake stayed in Fengqi Palace for a full hour before leaving.

The two of them were still in disguise and were personally led out of the palace by Leng Mei.

Before leaving, Jiang Wantang asked Granny Leng to dress her up according to the attire of her mother, Nangong Yihua, when she was alive.

Firstly, she wanted to see what her mother looked like when she was still alive;

Secondly, she was going to meet someone.

So, after Granny Leng and the others left, Jiang Wantang changed into a simple blue dress, put her hair in a gentle bun, and went to the water dungeon.

According to Grandma Leng, this is what her mother looked like after she got married.

My mother-in-law said that her mother was the most gentle woman in the world and she loved children very much.

And her father...

Jiang Wantang couldn't help but frown when she thought of Jiang Zhixu.

I always feel that he shouldn't be like this.

Whether in his brother's letter or in Grandma Leng's mouth, Jiang Zhixu used to be a talented, brave and resourceful gentleman, which was completely different from the image of the man Jiang Wantang saw later.

The images of a mean-spirited, profit-driven, or studious villain are all very different.

Moreover, Jiang Zhixu was a civil official, but Jiang Wantang had seen with his own eyes that Jiang Zhixu was now a martial artist, and his rank was not low.

In Jiang Wantang's opinion, even if a person's temperament changes drastically, his inner core will not change.

Rather than a complete change in personality, it's more like he's become a different person...
