Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Prime Minister Jiang was somewhat taken aback and immediately stepped forward. He saw the baby in Le Wentao's arms. She was so small and so fragile. Her eyes were closed, but her face was an abnormal bluish-purple.

This child was born amidst Prime Minister Jiang's great expectations, and this child will be Prime Minister Jiang's cover-up!

She would push this child, who knows nothing yet, onto the throne, making him the emperor above all others. After all the manipulation she had done in the imperial examinations over the years, everyone in the court, except for a few troublemakers, would be her people.

As long as you claim that the child is from a member of the royal family, you will have everyone's support and there will be no chance of anything going wrong!

But now, looking at the child lying in Le Wentao's arms, who knew nothing, her face was filled with genuine sadness!

She looked at Le Wentao, her voice filled with anger: "I clearly heard the child crying, so why did you only bring out a corpse in such a short time!"

Le Wentao's eyes were red as she said, "The child was born weak and died after crying only once."

"And what about the Empress Dowager?"

"...It's gone too!"

Suddenly, Prime Minister Jiang noticed a bluish-purple mark on the child's neck, which was being covered. She immediately lifted the cover and was instantly enraged! There were clear finger marks on the child's neck; the child had been strangled to death!

Who strangled him? Without a second thought, Prime Minister Jiang immediately slapped Yue Wentao: "You poisonous husband."

The sad expression on Le Wentao's face vanished instantly, and the child in his arms was thrown to the ground like trash!

He took a step back, immediately seized the longsword from the guard closest to him, and stood in front of Jiang Yuxiao!

He had diligently studied swordsmanship since he was a young girl, and today was the day to test his skills. He believed he could save himself and the emperor behind him.

"Such a bastard! She should not exist in this world. I have granted her wish! And I have spared her from suffering in this world."

Prime Minister Jiang ignored him, and sadly picked up the child from the ground, slowly walked into the room, and looked at the pale-faced Empress Dowager on the bed.

The delivery room smelled unpleasant, but he didn't notice at all. He simply placed the child next to the Empress Dowager and watched quietly. The two, one big and one small, would have been such a harmonious scene if they were still alive.

"Le Wentao, I ask you, was the Empress Dowager still conscious when you strangled the child with your own hands?"

Le Wentao was not afraid of angering Prime Minister Jiang, and said, "He should be sober! He watched me strangle this bastard with tears in his eyes."

A daughter doesn't easily shed tears, especially one who is already middle-aged, yet Prime Minister Jiang's tears suddenly fell!

Looking at Le Wentao's straight back, Jiang Yuxiao felt a chill run down her spine!

Le Wentao looked at Prime Minister Jiang's feigned deep affection with a hint of sarcasm: "What do you mean by your tears? Are they crocodile tears? You should know better than me how the Empress Dowager died. To the Empress Dowager, I was just a junior who was quite close to her, but you were her lover since she was young, the lover she had loved for so many years!"

Prime Minister Jiang's sorrow turned to rage. She glared at Yue Wentao and said, "Go to hell, along with your beloved Emperor!"

After saying that, he waved his hands, and the repeating crossbows in the hands of the Imperial Guards began to tighten, the sound of which made everyone present tense up.

Le Wentao remained unmoved, still standing in front of His Majesty, tightly protecting him with her own body.

Just when tragedy was about to strike.

Jiang Yuxiao, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Wen Tao, step aside. Compared to you, your mother may have more power!"

The hearty laughter eased the tense atmosphere for a moment.

General Yue appeared, followed by a group of soldiers in full armor. Their armor reflected a dark, cold gleam in the sunlight!

She looked at Prime Minister Jiang, her tone tinged with anger: "Today is my son's wedding day, and to see blood now is not a good omen!"

Under normal circumstances, Prime Minister Jiang could have chatted and joked with this decades-old nemesis, but in the tense atmosphere now, he simply said with a cold face, "What are you doing here!"

"We've come here to exterminate the rebels! You treacherous traitors, surrender now!"

Prime Minister Jiang waved his hands, and the Imperial Guards' arrows and crossbows turned towards General Yue. "Shoot!"

General Yue's soldiers remained unmoved!

Astonishment appeared on the faces of the Imperial Guards, and the crossbows in their hands broke one after another, falling to the ground as a pile of useless scrap metal.

……

Inside the Kunning Palace.

Le Xingxi waved for the servants to leave, leaving only Zhong Tian alone. Le Xingxi looked around and saw that it was a luxurious palace where the care put into every detail was evident.

Wearing a heavy wedding dress and expensive headdress, Le Xingxi felt exhausted.

Zhongtian helped Le Xingxi remove her headdress and said, "You should get some rest early tonight. His Majesty definitely won't be coming over tonight."

Le Xingxi rubbed her temples, propped her head up in the candlelight, and asked with a slight frown, "Zhongniang, can you tell me what happened now?"

The more you look at a beautiful woman under the lamplight, the more beautiful she becomes. Zhong Tian steadied himself.

He said, "Prime Minister Jiang will rebel tonight..."

"Are you saying that you provided Prime Minister Jiang with a batch of defective repeating crossbows, while you provided my mother with a batch of high-quality repeating crossbows?"

Zhongtian looked at Lexingxi and said, "In this society, the only people who can truly protect you, besides yourself, are your mother."

"I have equipped your mother with a large amount of silver, making her invincible, and this equipment can also serve as your armor, protecting you from harm!"

"Your mother will resolve this coup crisis for His Majesty! In exchange, His Majesty will wait for your freedom!"

Le Xingxi looked at Zhong Tian and shook her head: "Zhong Niang, you've oversimplified this matter!"

……

The arrows and crossbows of the Imperial Guard soldiers fell to the ground.

General Yue smiled and said to Prime Minister Jiang, "Your weapon is no good! Try mine!"

"Fire arrows!"

The soldiers brought by General Yue skillfully fired their crossbows in rapid succession. The Imperial Guards were unable to dodge in time and fell to the ground like lambs to the slaughter, with the air filled with the stench of blood.

Seeing the scene before her, Prime Minister Jiang knew that all was lost! She looked at Jiang Yuxiao and said, "Your Majesty, I have always underestimated you!"

Jiang Yuxiao clapped her hands, and Master Li came out and respectfully handed a box to His Majesty! His Majesty opened the box, and inside were densely packed slips of paper.

Jiang Yuxiao picked up the notes and threw them all at Prime Minister Jiang's face. The notes fell to the ground like a flurry of snowflakes.

"Prime Minister Jiang, I have been collecting evidence of your crimes, and I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

At that very moment, Xia Jin'an slipped into the Empress Dowager's palace while everyone was distracted!
