The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

At this moment, shocking news spread throughout the government and the country:

The new emperor ruthlessly sent the Empress Dowager to the imperial mausoleum for retreat on the charge of murdering the late emperor!

This incident was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves and plunging the entire court into uproar and chaos.

No one could have imagined that the Empress, who always looked kind and benevolent, would do such a cruel thing and even dare to poison the late Emperor. It was truly unbelievable and heartbreaking.

What was even more unexpected was that the new emperor was able to personally investigate the matter thoroughly.

And make it public without any hesitation.

You know, the current situation in North Korea is already complicated and turbulent. This sudden incident will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire of the already chaotic situation.

However, this confusion did not last long.

Although the prince has always been physically weak, he showed extraordinary courage and decisiveness at the critical moment.

Faced with those old ministers who relied on their seniority and power to bully others, the prince showed no mercy and took decisive action to punish them severely.

At the same time, he has a keen eye for talent.

A large number of young students from poor backgrounds but with outstanding talent and ability were carefully selected and promoted from the imperial examinations to serve as officials in the court.

This enriched the power of the imperial court and injected fresh blood and vitality into the country's governance.

After some earnest persuasion and generous rewards, the court finally restored its former order, and everything began to run in an orderly manner according to the established rules.

At this moment, exciting news came from the distant frontier.

It turned out that the brave and fearless General Gu led his elite troops and successfully broke through the tight defense line of the foreign tribes with a thunderous force.

Not only did we defeat the enemy and make them flee in panic, but we also achieved a brilliant and magnificent victory!

Now, General Gu is leading his victorious army back to the capital. Upon hearing the news, the people in the capital are all excited and line the streets to welcome him.

However, in sharp contrast to this joyful atmosphere is Meng Hewan's tragic fate.

This once delicate and beautiful woman was forcibly taken back to the Third Prince's fiefdom and ruthlessly imprisoned.

In that dark cage, Meng Hewan suffered inhuman torture, her body became increasingly haggard, and eventually became unrecognizable.

The poor girl struggled in pain and despair until the last moment of her life, when she starved to death in the cold and gloomy cell.

At the same time, the situation at the Marquis' Mansion was not optimistic.

Since the old lady passed away, the morale of the people in the Marquis' Mansion has been scattered.

The people from the third house also separated and moved out, and the entire marquis's mansion also came to rescue Meng Qingwen's family.

After Meng Qiaoming was beaten, the problem with his legs became more serious.

He became a complete cripple.

The house was also filled with the smell of death.

After the new emperor came to power, he criticized Meng Qingwen for not making any achievements and demoted him from his official position.

The title of Marquis was also taken back.

From then on, they were ordinary people.

The much-anticipated wedding of Gu Fanchu and Shi Jinyan had to be postponed due to the sudden death of the current emperor.

This funeral plunged the entire country into a mournful and solemn atmosphere, so the wedding had to be put on hold temporarily.

Fortunately, time always heals wounds, and slowly, people gradually came out of the shadow of losing their monarch.

During this long waiting time, the smart and capable Gu Fanchu was not idle.

She fully utilized her excellent business acumen to run her shop successfully. The business was booming and the profits were rising steadily.

Three years later, she finally married Shi Jinyan.

Ten miles of red decorations, very lively.

Everything is going in the right direction.
