After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

A hunt, the situation suddenly changed.

Gu Baozhu used to be domineering in the capital, and she even dared to take away the jewelry that Mrs. Jiang liked when she went out to buy them.

Although Mrs. Jiang was annoyed, she was unwilling to lower her status and was too lazy to compete with her.

This made Gu Baozhu even more proud. Even the eldest lady of the Jiang family had to avoid her. Who else in the capital could compare with her?

Gu Baozhu bought a piece of top-quality wild ginseng for the old lady Liu. "Mother, keep this ginseng for your health. I'll buy more for you after you finish eating it."

Liu patted Gu Baozhu's hand with a smile on her face, "They say raising sons is a good way to prepare for old age, but daughters are no different. Just like our Yiyi, she is so promising!"

Gu Zhongheng, the second master of the Anding Marquis's Mansion, also echoed, "Who says it's not true? I've always thought that Yiyi is a very blessed person. Prince Yu treats Yiyi like a pearl and a treasure. When Prince Yu ascends the throne in the future, who knows, our Yiyi may become the mother of a country!"

"Second brother, please be careful with your words. Don't talk nonsense like that." Although Gu Baoyu said this, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.

If Yiyi really became the queen, she would be the emperor's mother-in-law, and she would be able to walk around the capital like her own!

When the time comes, she will deal with that bitch Su, and then deal with that little bitch Gu Jin!

"Baozhu, when the time comes, you must ask Yiyi to help the brothers at home."

Gu Baozhu said complacently: "Don't worry, second brother, we are all family, this is natural."

Thinking back to when she and Yiyi were driven out by the Bai family after her husband passed away, now they all had to curry favor with her, which really made her vent her anger.

Her good days have just begun!

"Madam, the master is in trouble!" A servant stumbled in from outside, "His Majesty has returned from the enclosure with the imperial guards!"

"You're back, so what? It's no big deal!" Gu Baozhu rolled her eyes and said coldly, "It's shameful to be so unsophisticated."

Gu Baozhu straightened her clothes and said with a proud look on her face: "In this case, Yiyi should be back soon. I will go to the palace to look for her now."

"My dear lady." The servant's face was extremely ugly, and he stammered, "Concubine Bai...she has been executed by His Majesty."

Everyone in the room was silent.

Gu Baozhu was the first to come to her senses. She stepped forward and slapped the servant, "How dare you curse my Yi Yi? I'll beat you to death!"

The servant knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a voice that seemed to have lost his parents: "Concubine Bai poisoned His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and has been demoted to a commoner by His Majesty and executed on the spot!"

The old lady Liu's eyes rolled back and she fainted when she heard this. Gu Baozhu sneered and shook her head, "That's impossible. You must be the dog slave talking nonsense!"

Gu Baozhu stumbled out.

Gu Jin had not had time to rest when she returned to the Marquis of Qingyun's Mansion when the doorman came to tell her that Gu Baozhu was outside clamoring to see her.

Gu Jinben was not in the mood to pay attention to her, but when he thought of her difficult look, he still stood up and went to her.

"Gu Jin, did you kill my Yi Yi? Otherwise, how could she die!" Gu Baozhu was being dragged by the maids from the Marquis Qingyun's Mansion, but she still wanted to move forward frantically.

"Bai Yiyi was demoted to a commoner and sentenced to death by His Majesty for poisoning Prince Chen. What does this have to do with me?"

"You're talking nonsense! My Yiyi would never do such a thing. You must have harmed her!" After Gu Baozhu found out that Bai Yiyi was really executed, she felt as if the world was collapsing.

She was heartbroken, but she didn't know whether it was because of her daughter's death or because her wealth and glory had been destroyed.

Gu Jin looked impatient and said coldly, "We caught Bai Yiyi red-handed in public. Everyone knows Bai Yiyi's wolfish ambitions. If you don't believe me, just go to the Imperial City and ask His Majesty for an explanation!"

Gu Baozhu's spirit suddenly declined. She didn't dare to go to His Majesty. She came to Gu Jin just to vent her emotions.

She just didn't want to believe that all this was true.

Her good days, which had just begun, ended just like that.

Gu Jin looked at the distraught Gu Baozhu coldly, without feeling a trace of sympathy in his heart. Bai Yiyi was cruel and ruthless, and Gu Baozhu had also caused a lot of trouble.

"I advise you to go back to Anding Marquis's Mansion as soon as possible. Be careful not to be unable to enter the house if you go back too late!"

"Do you think everyone is as cold-blooded as you? If you were willing to risk your life to plead for Yiyi, she might not have died!"

Gu Jin didn't want to pay any more attention to her, and said coldly: "This is the last time. If you dare to run to my Qingyun Marquis Mansion and act wild next time, I will immediately hand you over to the government. I believe that Jingzhao Mansion will be willing to deal with you in order to vent the anger of Prince Chen."

Gu Baozhu still wanted to make a fuss, but seeing the ferocious guards of the Marquis' Mansion, she had to run away in shame with her tail between her legs.

She returned to the Anding Marquis's Mansion in a daze, but she didn't expect that all her luggage had been thrown out.

"How dare you! Who did this!"

"I did it." The second master Gu Zhongheng walked out with a cold face.

Gu Baozhu looked at him in disbelief, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

Gu Zhongheng lost all his flattery and fawning, like an emotionless machine, "Mother has been so angry at you and your daughter that she has had a stroke. Now I just hope that Your Majesty will not punish An Ding Bo's Mansion because of that rebellious girl. Take your things and go back to the Bai family. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Don't come back to Bo's Mansion at every turn!"

After Gu Zhongheng finished speaking, he ordered his servants to close the door, and no matter how Gu Baozhu knocked on it, it remained closed.

Gu Baozhu didn't expect that she would be kicked out just after she opened her mouth to Gu Jin. Seeing that more and more people were gathering at the door, she had no choice but to pick up her bag and leave crying.

At the same time, the incident also caused a stir in the palace, and officially opened up the treacherous storm of court struggles...

Since returning from the hunting ground, Emperor Hui'an has been imprisoning Prince Yu in the palace. Although he has not put him in jail, Li Ziheng has led the imperial guards to completely seal off Prince Yu's palace, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

Prince Yu got angry about this and said, "I've already said I didn't do it. What will it take for Father to believe me?"

Prince Yu smashed things in the study. Jiang Wanyue sneered after hearing this, "What a useless man, he only knows how to smash things at home. Stupid and pretentious, if it weren't for the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine, he would have been dead long ago."

"Princess, what should we do now?"

Jiang Wanyue was relaxed and at ease, patiently trimming her nails and saying, "Just wait and see. If the sky falls, there will be others to hold it up. Instead of being frightened, it is better to enjoy the present."

As long as the Jiang family survives, Prince Yu will be fine, not to mention that there is still that person in the palace!

In charge of Qian Palace.

Emperor Hui'an looked at Empress Dowager Jiang in front of him and said calmly, "Please go back, Queen Mother. Prince Yu killed his brothers and sisters, and I will never tolerate him!"

"There are still doubts in this matter. Moreover, all the witnesses are dead. How can we prove that they were instructed by Prince Yu?" Queen Mother Jiang argued.

But this time, Emperor Hui'an did not back down and said coldly, "The assassins who assassinated Prince Chen were all guards in Prince Yu's palace. If it wasn't him who ordered it, who else could it be! I know that my mother cares about Prince Yu, but the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. If I condone Prince Yu today, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the subjects in the world!"

"Please go back, mother. I will not take back my order!"

When Empress Dowager Jiang learned that Emperor Hui'an had made such a decision, she snorted coldly and left angrily.

But when she turned around, she showed a sinister smile.

"Aunt, what should we do now? How can we rescue Prince Yu?" Concubine Jiang was completely confused and had no idea what to do.

Empress Dowager Jiang rubbed her brows in a worried manner and sighed, "The emperor has grown powerful now and doesn't even take my words to heart. Today, I used both soft and hard tactics but he remained indifferent. It seems that he has made up his mind."

"Aunt, what should we do?" Concubine Jiang can only rely on Empress Dowager Jiang now and regard her as her only backbone.

Concubine Jiang never expected that Emperor Hui'an would be so furious this time. After all, she had been in great favor for many years, and His Majesty also respected Prince Yu very much. But this time he wanted to severely punish him because of the bastard he kept outside.

Now it seems that His Majesty has never truly loved her, and everything before was just to balance the situation in the court.

Thinking that she had lost to a village woman and that her talented and virtuous son had lost to a bastard, Concubine Jiang was filled with hatred.

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at her coldly and tapped her fingers on the table. "At this point, I'm afraid there is only one way."

"Aunt, please tell me." Concubine Jiang's eyes lit up and she stared at Empress Dowager Jiang intently.

"Your Majesty seems to be really angry this time, and he even sent Li Ziheng to lead the imperial guards to surround Prince Yu's mansion. Prince Heng has been banished to the imperial mausoleum, and the crown prince is weak and sickly. Given Your Majesty's power, I'm afraid he will hand over the crown prince position to Prince Chen."

"How can that be possible!" Concubine Jiang had always thought that the throne was in their pocket, so how could she tolerate it being taken away by an unknown prince who suddenly appeared.

They have been planning for the throne for many years, so how could they just do things for others in vain?

"Then according to Auntie's opinion, what should we do?"

Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes were cold, and she said quietly: "If you don't want to be a fish, then you can only be a knife first!"

……

After Concubine Jiang left the Cining Palace in a daze, a delicate woman walked out from the inner hall.

"Empress Dowager, do you think the Imperial Concubine would agree?" The speaker was Concubine Jiang, who had just entered the harem.

Queen Mother Jiang fiddled with her slender armor, her voice as cold as frost, "It is no longer up to her to respond to this matter."

The emperor has made up his mind. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor favors Prince Chen. Moreover, Prince Yu has committed the crime of murdering his brothers and sisters, and the emperor can no longer tolerate this.

However, there was one thing that she found strange. Bai Yiyi had already poisoned Prince Chen, so why did Prince Yu take the risk the next day?

Could it be that Prince Chen really forced him into a corner?

But the truth is no longer important, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.

Queen Mother Jiang glanced at Lady Jiang's belly, her eyes tinged with gentleness, "You don't have to worry about these trivial matters, just take good care of the baby in your belly. With me, I will ensure that you and your child will live a glorious life."

Lady Jiang lowered her eyebrows, gently brushed her still flat belly with her hands, and said with some worry: "But the month is still young, and I don't know whether the baby in the mansion is a boy or a girl."

"Of course it's Longzi!" Queen Mother Jiang insisted, her eyes cold, "It can only be Longzi!"

Concubine Jiang was frightened by the coldness in Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes and shrank her shoulders timidly.

Seeing that she was frightened, Queen Mother Jiang softened her eyes and said with a smile: "I will arrange everything for you, you don't have to worry about anything."

Lady Jiang was still worried, "But after all, I am from the Jiang family branch, and Old Master Jiang may not recognize me."

Queen Mother Jiang raised her lips nonchalantly, "Just remember, as long as I approve of you, no one in the State of Chen will dare to question you."

Lady Jiang nodded timidly, "I understand. Thank you, Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Jiang nodded. Concubine Jiang was weak and cowardly by nature, but that was just the right thing for her to use.

Concubine Jiang used to be obedient, but because she came from a wealthy family, as Prince Yu grew older, she and her son began to have an illusion.

That is the Jiang family they rely on, not her, the queen mother.

This time she wanted these people to know that she could lift them to the sky or crush them into the dust.

The Jiang family can enjoy all the honors thanks to her, and the court is built by her and the late emperor together. All power can only be in her hands.
