Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

"Alright, stop arguing with him, take him away."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Xuanjia Army quickly escorted the Prince of Qi and the crippled Prince of Li out of the main hall, leaving behind a trail of blood that was particularly conspicuous.

Not long after the Xuanjia Army left, another commander came in to report back, carrying the poisonous seeds that had just been found in Consort Liang's palace.

This time, Consort Liang's crime was sealed.

As she slumped to the ground, she was still wondering where she had gone wrong and why she had ultimately failed despite all her scheming.

Then, with a look of resentment in his eyes, he looked at Ho Ling-yee and said something.

"I'll be watching from the underworld, seeing how much better days you two can have! Hahahaha..."

Hearing her incoherent ramblings, the emperor showed no mercy and coldly uttered a single sentence.

"Consort Liang is wicked and malicious. She is hereby given a white silk noose, stripped of her title, and forbidden from being buried in the imperial mausoleum!"

These words were tantamount to erasing all traces of Consort Liang among the late emperor's concubines. She was unwilling and wanted to make a few more fuss, but the Xuanjia Army had already gagged her and dragged her away.

As for Consort Tong and the princess who died shortly after birth, no one dared to mention them, but the emperor still gave them a final bit of dignity: "The princess shall be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but Consort Tong shall be exempted from this. She shall be sent away with Consort Liang."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A perfectly good Mid-Autumn Festival banquet turned into a tragedy, with some dying and others injured.

However, after that night, the entire court had been almost completely purged. King Li might still have some remaining followers, but it wasn't a big problem. The thorough investigation was handed over to the two brothers, Haijin and Haiyu.

In the main hall, everyone knelt in submission.

The emperor stood on the high platform and spoke with an unquestionable imperial air.

"Everyone here is someone I trust and rely on, but you should know that if your ambitions are too great, I cannot tolerate them. Keep today's events to yourselves. If... anyone leaks even a single word, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Qiao and Hai families were certainly loyal, but the other noble families and powerful clans were not disloyal either; they were just a bit arrogant because of their accumulated power.

After this, everyone will have to keep a low profile.

The emperor dealt with his relatives and nobles without batting an eye, let alone those who enjoyed the blessings of their ancestors. Therefore, all the arrogant thoughts that they had originally had were swallowed back down.

After returning home, they either begin chanting scriptures and adopting a vegetarian diet, or they restrain their thugs.

No matter what the emperor wanted to do or what new policies he wanted to implement, everyone had a thousand reasons to agree and showed no sign of obstruction, just like a lackey.

Three months later, King Le's henchmen were systematically eliminated.

The first one to be affected was naturally Chi Yunjing.

Whether he was truly wronged or feigning innocence, he would not have a good end for allowing his servants to do things for King Li in this way.

Therefore, the entire Vice Minister's mansion was thoroughly searched and ransacked. They even found a witchcraft doll with Chi Guiwan's birth date and time written on it in Aunt Zhao's room. Wrapped in the doll was the handkerchief that Chi Guiwan had given her to wipe her tears out of pity that day.

When Qiao Er saw this thing, he was furious.

He rushed forward and kicked Aunt Zhao to the ground, then said viciously, "So that's why something went wrong during Madam's childbirth! It was all your doing! Just wait, I'll make you pay for this!"

Aunt Zhao had no idea she would be arrested, so she clutched her chest in pain and trembled as she begged for mercy, but naturally no one paid any attention. It wasn't until she was exiled three thousand miles away and was half-dead from illness, with no one willing to help her, that she realized what it meant to be utterly helpless and desperate.

Chi Yunjing watched coldly from the side, the shackles on his body binding him not only his freedom, but also his so-called "lofty ambitions".

Haibo Marquis's Mansion.

It's been incredibly lively lately.

Because of his merit in capturing the King of Li, Haijin was promoted directly from Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to Minister of War, thus becoming the most suitable marriage candidate in the hearts of many women in the capital.

Young and promising, calm and composed, and most importantly, favored by His Majesty, he is clearly a man with a bright future. Therefore, it would be ideal to form a marriage alliance with him. However, no matter who comes forward to propose marriage, he always appears indifferent. As a result, the Marquis and his wife, Lady Qin, have no choice but to give up.

The only saving grace was that Haiyu had taken a liking to a lady from a prominent family.

The two were well-matched in social standing and temperament. They hit it off immediately and told their parents about it. Both families were delighted, so the entire process was completed very quickly, and this day became their engagement day.

When he got engaged, Qiao Er and Chi Guiwan naturally had to come.

They also brought along Yi Ge'er, who was almost 100 days old. He was a chubby-cheeked boy, and the older he got, the more he resembled his father. This made Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis, feel utterly delighted.

Chi Guiwan teased from the side.

“Once my second cousin has a child, my aunt will probably be very busy, holding and comforting the baby day and night.”

"You silly girl, you're a mother now and you still can't rein in your thoughts, all you do is tease me!"

When the word "mother" came to mind, Chi Guiwan felt as if she had been through another world. At first, when she remembered everything, she was somewhat resistant to Qiao Er, her "brother-in-law," but because she was in confinement after childbirth, no one noticed.

But as time went on, her dreams became increasingly blurry, until finally only a faint wisp of mist remained. Through that mist, she seemed to see a beautiful mother and daughter smiling and waving goodbye to her, and that's when she opened her heart.

She returned to a life of comfort with her husband, children, and a warm bed.

However, he felt a natural affinity for the Empress, his "daughter," and they always had endless things to talk about whenever he entered the palace.

The past is gone; let us not dwell on it or think about it.

Making the most of her current life is what she needs to do next.

So, after exchanging a smile with Qiao Er, the couple became even more harmonious and happy after the birth of their child.

While the Marquis of Haibo's mansion was filled with laughter and joy, the Guo family on the other side of the capital was in complete chaos.

Guo Yong has been scammed!

His initially smooth-sailing official career suddenly became difficult after the arrest of the Prince of Li. He initially thought that he might have offended his superiors by not paying attention to something, which led to this trouble. However, he never expected that he was the one destined to be discarded in this game.

So when this happened, he was naturally at a loss.

Most importantly, while he was feeling down and frustrated, a group of people had already set their sights on him. Taking advantage of his slightly drunken state and impaired judgment, they fanned the flames and caused him to incur huge gambling debts.
