The third prince was annoyed at Fu Gui and Fu Yan's lack of tact, but he agreed to their request.

Looking at the excited face of the man named Fu Yan, the third prince had already planned in his mind that when he no longer needed these people, he would kill them all.

After the Third Prince and Qu Yi left, Lu Yanyan's face darkened.

This third prince is such a ruthless person.

The Third Prince's Consort Meng Rou returned to the Meng family at the persuasion of her son Rong Mo.

After returning, Meng Rou told the third prince that Queen Meng Long was too kind-hearted and caused her son to be killed. She did not want to become the second Meng Long.

On the second day, only the legitimate son Rong Mo was left in the Third Prince's Mansion.

As for the other three sons, along with their mother, they disappeared overnight...

Because the war had begun, even in Xianzhou, the capital, the streets and alleys were not very busy.

Di Qi, the businessman who bought Lu Fugui's marinade, secretly groaned.

I thought I could make a fortune from braised food, and business was indeed booming in the first few days of selling braised food.

He also limited the sales, and some people ordered other dishes from the restaurant just for the braised flavor, so the restaurant was very popular for a while.

But after the Winter Mu Festival, with the conscription of soldiers and the funerals of several princes, his restaurant business suddenly became deserted.

It seems there is no business today.

Di Qi sighed and was about to close the door, but was stopped by someone. The man bought all the marinade ingredients in Di Qi's hand.

I also asked for the recipe for making braised food.

Di Qi didn't want to give it at first, but when he saw the man deliberately showing the Meng family token, he gritted his teeth and gave it all.

The next day, Meng Rou went to the palace with some braised food.

Queen Meng loves new things, including new food.

The braised food had a strong flavor, and Queen Meng wanted to try it as soon as she smelled it.

The maid who tasted the food tasted every dish.

Even Meng Rou took a few bites.

Queen Meng then felt at ease and started eating. She was very satisfied with the meal and even praised Meng Rou for her thoughtfulness.

Meng Rou took the opportunity to offer the marinade ingredients, and Queen Meng accepted them.

Meng Rou hid her smile with a cup of water.

Meng Rou's mother's family is the illegitimate son of the previous head of the Meng family.

After the previous head of the family came to power, Meng Rou's family was kicked out by the legitimate son and became a side branch.

But even if she became a side branch, her family's foundation was still there, and she was about to become the queen of Beirong, so many people wanted to curry favor with her mother's family.

Even the direct descendants of the Meng family may not have a top-grade poison like "Residual Fragrance".

But the oleander flower powder, which can make people drowsy and confused if eaten too much, and the little bit of poppy kernel powder, which can be addictive, are blended into the marinade powder and cannot be distinguished at all.

The most important thing is that eating less has no effect on the human body. It is only after eating it for seven consecutive days and taking large amounts every day that you will gradually become listless and sleepy.

No one would think that she was poisoned by food. They would just think that Queen Meng was old and had experienced two major changes during the Winter Mu Festival, so it was normal for her to get sick in winter.

Once upon a time, Queen Meng was the woman Meng Rou envied the most.

As the only woman from the direct line of the Meng family of that generation, Queen Meng was destined to become the queen of Beirong from birth.

Less than a year after becoming queen, she gave birth to the eldest son of the old King of Beirong, the unlucky guy who was supposed to become the new King of Beirong.

From childhood to adulthood, Queen Meng was like a flower in a greenhouse, living the most honorable life, but with very little scheming.

After her son died, her only needs in life were the simplest food, clothing, shelter and other necessities.

She would look up to anyone who could bring her favorite gift...

After dinner, Meng Rou said goodbye and left.

When she got into the sedan chair, Meng Rou was still thinking about the education she had received since childhood, which was to sacrifice everything for the Meng family, even her husband and her own future.

The corners of Meng Rou's lips curled up. She did not betray the Meng family. She just wanted the future glory of the Meng family to be tied to her mother's family.

What's more, she has a son, and nothing is more important than her son's future!

Ten days later, Queen Meng fell asleep again while reading a memorial.

The imperial physician tactfully said that she was old and the weather was bad, so she shouldn't overwork herself.

Although Queen Meng was dissatisfied with the imperial physician's suggestion that she was old, she no longer had the mood to read the memorials as she looked at the increasing number of white hairs on her temples and her increasingly cloudy eyes.

The ingredients for the marinade were becoming increasingly scarce. The person in charge of purchasing for the palace, the Imperial Household Department, ran from the Third Prince's Mansion to Di Qi's restaurant, and then ran back to the Third Prince's Mansion to find Fu Gui. He learned that the ingredients for the marinade were shipped from Xiqi, and he was almost anxious to death.

Queen Meng now only needs to eat braised food twice a day, but the ingredients are getting less and less, and sooner or later they will run out. Isn't this going to cost her life?

Two days later, Queen Meng's energy became increasingly exhausted, and she actually fell asleep in the court.

Soon, a minister submitted a memorial, requesting that Crown Prince Rong Feng ascend the throne as soon as possible.

That night, the third prince Rong Feng went to the palace with the down cloak that Qu Yi had found.

It is said that the lining of the down cloak is made entirely of goose down and duck down, making it very warm and soft to wear. The cloak is also embroidered with Queen Meng's favorite phoenix, making it look luxurious and exquisite.

After Queen Meng put it on, she felt her hands and feet were much warmer and no longer felt heavy.

She liked the Third Prince's sincerity, and after chatting with him for a few private words, she felt sleepy again. However, before going to bed, Queen Meng set the time for the Third Prince to ascend the throne.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Beirong finally welcomed its new king after a year and two months.

Rong Feng was full of vigor and stepped onto the throne step by step.

From now on, he will take over all the secret forces of the King of Beirong, and he can also make friends with the ministers openly.

Because of his promise to Queen Meng, the newly appointed King of Beirong also planned to live in peace with the Meng family.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

On the night of his ascension to the throne, King Beirong was stabbed by a new secret guard, who was just a hair's breadth away from hitting his heart.

The secret guard missed his attack and immediately committed suicide with a knife.

Rong Feng originally wanted to kill the group of Xiqi people who had displeased him after he ascended the throne.

When he was lying in bed recuperating after being stabbed by his own secret guards, he immediately appointed Fu Gui as the Earl of Fu'an, Fu Yan as the Earl of Fuyuan, Dalin and others as fifth-rank palace guards, and granted them household registration in Xianzhou.

Fu Yan finally got into the palace as he wished and took a few walks around.

The identity of the secret guard who assassinated King Beirong was soon discovered. It was arranged by the Meng family.

The King of Beirong was furious and took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Meng family was fighting against the Jiyang army to take crazy revenge on the Meng family.

Although the Meng family is powerful, they do not want to confront the King of Beirong.

The head of the Meng family went to find Meng Long, who had now become the empress dowager, but Meng Long fell asleep before they could say a few words.

Faced with the fierce tactics of King Beirong, the Meng family wanted to explain, but they were stopped by court ministers who wanted to suppress the Meng family.

After several rounds of attacks, the Meng family, which had been noble for hundreds of years, could no longer swallow their anger and began to fight back.

When the Meng family was fighting with the King of Beirong and the ministers behind him, Li Jixin, with tears in his eyes, lit three incense sticks for the secret guard who used himself to carry out the counter-espionage plan.

That was the deepest nail King Lin had buried in Beirong.

Over the past decade, this nail has never been used except for applying lubricating oil on the platform of Zhaixing Tower two years ago and wiping off all traces in the chaos when the old King Beirong fell from the platform.

This time, Li Jixin didn't plan to use him, he had his own plans.

The news of the assassination attempt on Prince Kelin's palace on New Year's Eve spread throughout Dayu and even to Beirong along with Han Qingyun's "Letter to Emperor Zhaowen".

The plan to escalate the conflict between King Beirong and the Meng family was forced to be triggered early...
