The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

The work in Hushui County is in full swing, as if even the wind has rhythm.

But in the capital, it was a completely different scene, full of dramatic twists and turns.

Liu Jingshu waited in Prince Han's mansion until midnight, but Prince Han still did not return.

She recalled the scene at the wedding reception in the daytime. The sudden intrusion of the pregnant woman was like a bombshell, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.

The corners of her mouth twitched.

The world is really in decline!

The palace is hosting a wedding, and even a pregnant woman can sneak in?

No matter how you think about it, there seems to be something fishy going on.

Liu Jingshu's thoughts drifted back to her previous life.

In mid-October, it started raining in Nanyang.

Although initial rains eased the drought, landslides and floods subsequently occurred frequently.

This directly led to a civil unrest, followed by rampant banditry and a chaotic situation.

The emperor was helpless and had to recall the once powerful Prince Chen, who was also his ninth son Ling Chenyu.

Liu Jingshu followed Liu Yaoyao and Ling Chenyu back to the capital.

She also benefited from Liu Yaoyao and successfully entered the capital.

Although they had just arrived, the two sisters had a hard time making their way in the capital.

But soon, Liu Jingshu opened up the situation with Liu Yaoyao's magic water and lived a comfortable life in private.

The wealthy people in the capital city all showed their favor to her, and she was favored by the emperor and was given the title of county lady.

Although the emperor was blessed with the "magic water", his body was hollowed out by the elixirs because he was overly obsessed with refining elixirs for immortality.

The magic water can only temporarily relieve his symptoms and cannot increase his lifespan even a little bit.

Not long after, the old emperor died without any warning in the belly of a young concubine.

The entire capital was shocked.

When the emperor passed away, Liu Jingshu was noticed by Ling Jinhan because she had established good relationships with the wives of many court officials and became the most important adviser to King Han.

With her wisdom and means, she successfully gathered the support of many court officials, making King Han's position in the court increasingly stable.

Ling Jinhan also took the opportunity to get rid of the original princess and married Liu Jingshu as his second princess.

This action made Liu Jingshu a celebrity in the capital, and she was the most famous person for a while.

Even the storytellers in the teahouse made jokes about her deeds, attracting crowds of people to worship her.

Back then, there were many princes in the court, each showing off his unique abilities.

However, under the old emperor's "special care", those princes went through a lot of hardships and suffered terribly.

For example, the former prince knew nothing about martial arts, and his thesis was not outstanding.

But he had a kind heart and was deeply loved by the royalist ministers.

Unfortunately, because he strongly supported Ling Chenyu's return to the court, he angered the old emperor and was exiled to the frontier to guard the territory with an imperial edict.

Asking a weak scholar to guard the border is like throwing a fish into the desert, which is laughable.

Let’s talk about the prince who was once so glorious. He became stupid and foolish overnight and became a laughing stock in the capital.

It is said that he drank a few more glasses of wine that night, and then suddenly started talking nonsense, saying that he saw a god and wanted to learn magic from the god.

From then on, he became crazy and was no longer the elegant prince he used to be.

The only surviving prince of the old emperor was Prince Han.

Because he was close to Concubine Ning and was usually low-key and filial, the old emperor was quite satisfied with him and did not touch him at all.

When the old emperor's physical condition was like a crumbling city wall, the throne was like a ripe peach and naturally fell into the hands of King Han.

Liu Jingshu stood in the courtyard of Prince Han's mansion, recalling the past full of struggles, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

The power struggle in the palace was extremely cruel.

Fortunately, she has the support of the magic water and the courtier's wife.

Allowing her to maneuver with ease in this vortex of power.

However, the current situation gave her a headache.

Without the trump card of magic water, only ordinary things like sweet potatoes and potatoes are left, and the forces in the capital that can be restrained are really limited.

She frowned, thinking about her next move.

Moreover, the emperor who was obsessed with alchemy did not seem to need Ling Chenyu to come back for help.

The once popular Silly King is still unknown in the dark, and she doesn't know when the other party will jump out.

Just then, a ridiculous news came.

A pregnant woman of unknown origin made a scene in the court, claiming that she was made pregnant by a prince.

The corner of Liu Jingshu's mouth twitched, and she inexplicably felt that this matter was related to Ling Jinhan.

But she had no proof.

She wanted to suppress the news because once it spread, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Unfortunately, she was helpless at this moment.

On the other side, Prince Han was kneeling outside the imperial study, waiting for the old emperor to summon him.

He was very nervous, not knowing how the old emperor would handle this matter.

Just then, he heard a noise coming from the imperial study.

It turned out that the person who filed the complaint was killed on the spot by the punishment of the rolling nails because of his weak body.

The dramatic ending of this imperial petition was even more exciting than a palace drama.

King Han felt dizzy, as if he was caught in an absurd vortex.

Various possible outcomes flashed through his mind, the worst of which would be to be disgraced and become a laughing stock.

However, in this abyss of despair, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

He hoped that Concubine Ning's secret move would work and help him turn the tide.

Fate seemed to particularly enjoy playing tricks on him.

Just when he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, worse news came from the imperial study.

There are three important officials waiting to sue him.

These three important officials were his mortal enemies in the court. Now that they had the chance, they would naturally not let him go.

They finally met the old emperor and were ready to let everything out.

As a result, the old emperor, exhausted, waved his hand and asked them to go back first.

After the old emperor had rested, Concubine Ning hurried over to show her courtesy.

In fact, Concubine Ning came to plead for Prince Han.

But before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by the prince's party.

For a moment, the imperial study was in chaos.

Those who wanted to make things difficult for King Han did not have the chance to speak because the old emperor was too tired.

Those who pleaded for Prince Han were unable to speak because of the interference of the Prince's party.

It was already noon the next day when Liu Jingshu heard the news.

According to ancestral teachings, she should have gone to the palace with Ling Jinhan to express her gratitude today.

But at this time, the palace was in a mess!

King Han, the unfortunate victim, was targeted by many people.

She looked up at the sky and prayed silently in her heart: "I hope this will all end soon."

At this moment, Prince Han was still waiting outside the imperial study.

He should have been enjoying the night of love, but now he could only kneel on the cold stone slabs, his heart filled with endless regret.

He didn't know when he could clear his name and regain the emperor's trust.

And the root of all this seems to be the pregnant woman who suddenly appeared...
