The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The strategy agreed upon by Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan was to release the Empress Dowager Jiqing, who was imprisoned in Xishan, back to the palace.

Only this method can allow the Empress Dowager to let go and run faster on the road to death.

Shi Anxia nodded and replied to Emperor Mingde, "Yes, release him."

Emperor Mingde looked at the little girl in front of him with difficulty describing the situation.

We agreed not to alert the enemy, but in a moment we made a big fuss.

I promised to take him with me to plan the operation, but in the end I left him behind.

Let him rack his brains to guess, let him rack his brains to think, and only then will we inform him of the result.

Ugh!

In fact, he also wants to participate.

Emperor Mingde heard the little girl say slowly, "Your Majesty, there are some things you cannot interfere with."

Emperor Mingde certainly understood this truth.

As the emperor of a country and the adopted son of the empress dowager, he absolutely could not have anything to do with the death of the empress dowager.

The little girl is protecting him.

The little girl smiled slyly again, "Your Majesty, are you going to take away the credit for your servant's work?"

Emperor Mingde was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "You! Only you dare to say that I am stealing the credit! What do you mean by the emperor's subject? You are the Princess Haiyan, who was personally conferred by me!"

"Your son will remember your father's teachings." Shi Anxia knelt down and bowed deeply.

Emperor Mingde was delighted, "Naughty!"

Shi Anxia bowed deeply again, "I should have gone to the palace to express my gratitude immediately after receiving the imperial edict, but I am still in mourning, so I'd better come less often if possible."

"It's okay. I don't mind this." Emperor Mingde looked at the little girl with loving eyes, as if she were his own daughter.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t have this fate.

Even the true dragon emperor is sometimes helpless and at a loss, and has the same regrets as ordinary people.

Shi Anxia said, "I think that Empress Dowager Jiqing cannot die in Xishan, and she cannot die just like that. Otherwise, people in the future will speculate that the Empress Dowager's death must be related to the overthrow of Princess Chanyu's mansion, and eventually point the finger at you, father. Even if no one dares to write this in the official history, I'm afraid that unofficial history will not let you go."

Emperor Mingde felt sad. Good boy, you even thought of the unofficial history for me!

Shi Anxia was confident, "I have already made a plan to brand the Empress Dowager as a traitor. Once there is solid evidence of her treason, Your Majesty can kill her relatives for the sake of justice. From now on, both official and unofficial history will praise you as a wise ruler."

Emperor Mingde cried out, "Treason?"

It was true that he hated the Queen Mother, but he never thought that she would commit treason.

Can this really be done?

Shi Anxia's eyes were firm. "I have to thank her for letting Shi Anrou leave the secret letter in the Marquis' Mansion. This reminded me that she could slander me, and I could also slander her and her Li family. However, I thought boldly that I might not need to dirty my hands. I only need to add fuel to the flames, and she would betray the country and collude with foreign forces to take your life and throne."

Emperor Mingde's eyes lit up.

Yes, if the Empress Dowager can slander the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, the little girl can slander her in return.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother committed treason or not, he would sentence her to death on the pillar of shame for treason.

As if she had seen through his mind, "Father, please do not take away the credit for my achievements. You must not do anything, just watch the show. Can you promise me?"

Emperor Mingde laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

What could he not agree to? His daughter was protecting his reputation and doting on him as her father.

What could be more joyful in life than this?

As soon as he was happy, he took out two tokens and handed them over, "This is for you."

Shi Anxia's eyes lit up and she asked with a smile, "What is this? Two more gold medals of immunity from death?"

Emperor Mingde was furious, "Why are you always thinking about the golden medal of immunity from death?"

Shi Anxia said, "There are many people in the family, many people doing things, and naturally many people getting into trouble. If you hold a few more death-free gold medals in your hands, you can sleep more peacefully." She looked down and saw "Yu" written on one token and "Ying" written on the other. She couldn't help but said happily, "Is this the token for mobilizing the East Yu Guard and the West Ying Guard?"

Emperor Mingde said dejectedly, "Take it. Anyway, you can mobilize well without these two tokens."

Shi Anxia's eyebrows curved, and she put it into her sleeve like a treasure, smiling, "How can it be the same? Without the token, if you transfer someone, you will have to listen to their mumbling, saying things like 'I don't want to make merit', 'I don't feel a sense of accomplishment or joy when I make merit'."

Emperor Mingde also laughed, "Has Ma Chuyi become so arrogant now?"

"I don't even want to make any contribution." Shi Anxia said, "Father, how about I recommend someone to you?"

"Who do you want to insert in?" Emperor Mingde took a sip of tea.

Shi Anxia held the teacup and said obediently, "There will be a martial arts exam in May. When my cousin Tang Xinghe wins the first prize, you can let him join the military department to gain some experience."

Emperor Mingde raised his eyebrows, "Are you so sure that he can win the first place in the martial arts exam?"

"If Cen Yuan participates, he naturally has no chance. But if my Cen Yuan doesn't participate, then my cousin won't be the top scholar. How can he face my uncle and aunt?" Shi Anxia boasted, but finally sighed, "Father is surrounded by people he can trust, so I can feel at ease."

What to do with peace of mind? Emperor Mingde felt a faint sadness in his heart. Only when he calmed down could he go to Liang State.

My daughter and son-in-law went to Liang State, so Tang Chujun will go with them, right?

Emperor Mingde wanted to ask: Is your mother okay? Is your mother happy after the divorce? What are your mother's plans for the future? Will she follow you to Liang State?

A myriad of thoughts were choking his chest, and a myriad of questions were piling up in his throat. But in the end, he just cleared his throat and said calmly, "We should train more trustworthy people, so that the North Wing can be stable and the enemy will not dare to trample on it easily."

The two were chatting happily when Western Shadow Guard Wei Xingzhou asked to see them.

Emperor Mingde Xuan.

After Wei Xingzhou came in, he knelt down to pay his respects to Emperor Mingde, and then reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li is coming to the Imperial Study."

Emperor Mingde was in a bad mood when he heard any news about this woman. He felt like there was a fly stuck in his throat that he couldn't swallow or spit out.

He had originally been smiling, but now his face darkened. "If she dares to kneel outside my study, I will chase her away."

He really hadn't thought of a good way to deal with this scheming woman. Zhu Lingxiu had asked several times, but he didn't dare to let Li Qinghui meet him.

He thought that he would wait until Zhu Lingxiu was stronger before telling him the truth. Otherwise, what if he died of anger?

Just because Concubine Li came to the Imperial Study, it was not worth Wei Xingzhou's report. He said, "Before Concubine Li came, she asked Eunuch Yao in her palace to go to the direction of Yimen. I have already asked someone to follow and check."

Emperor Mingde was a little confused for a moment, "What is she going to do?"

Wei Xingzhou took his leave and went to check further.

After Wei Xingzhou left, Shi Anxia frowned and said, "I'm afraid Concubine Li is here for me."

Emperor Mingde was startled, "Why do you think so?"
