Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Although all the people invited to the full moon banquet were people from the Prince's Mansion, Lin Siyou was very satisfied and her mood became much calmer. She no longer felt regretful and upset about not giving birth to a son.

She also knew that there had been a lot of affairs in the palace recently.

The Queen and the Crown Princess were very busy.

She admired Ji Chuhe from the bottom of her heart for even taking the time to hold a full-moon banquet for her daughter.

……

Ji Chuhe was currently at the place where the late queen was imprisoned.

As soon as the late queen saw Ji Chuhe's outfit, she understood everything.

"Sure enough, you still have the last laugh."

Ji Chuhe walked forward and sat in front of the late queen.

She looked at the much older late queen and said calmly, "Seven days later, the two emperors will be buried at the same time."

"This means that my death is coming, and I can finally be free." The late queen sighed, "I am actually quite happy that I can live to this day and see the current situation. Although my most beloved son is no longer in this world, those people I hate also have a bad ending. This is enough for me."

"Someone, bring the food up." Ji Chuhe ordered softly.

Several palace maids came in, holding trays with a new dress and some headdresses.

Seeing these things, the former queen was somewhat moved, and she said softly to Ji Chuhe, "Thank you."

Ji Chuhe stood up and walked out the door.

"Have a safe trip." She uttered these two words softly without looking back.

The late queen looked at her back and let out a long sigh.

After the palace maid helped her wash and dress, she served a table of dishes.

After the late queen finished her meal, a eunuch came in, holding a cup of poisoned wine, a dagger and a white silk in his hands.

The late queen walked forward, touched the things with her hand, and finally took the porcelain bottle half filled with poison, opened it, and poured it into her mouth in one gulp.

She walked back to her room quietly and lay on the bed waiting for the poison to take effect.

Not long after, she felt a severe pain in her abdomen, and she unconsciously wanted to curl up into a ball.

However, she endured the severe pain and maintained a dignified and calm sleeping posture until she lost the last bit of consciousness.

The eunuch came to check, and after making sure that there was no breath, he covered the body with a layer of white cloth.

"Carry it out."

……

The two emperors were buried at the same time, and the national mourning lasted for three months, with the whole country mourning together.

After the funeral, Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an went to the palace together.

General Nan is still here.

General Nan did not participate in the palace turmoil, and his troops were not in the imperial capital. Without the emperor's order, the garrison could not be easily mobilized.

The Empress Dowager originally thought that the Imperial Guards and the Inner Court Guards would be enough to compete with Xiao Wenxuan's men.

Even later, when Xiao Wenxuan took the opportunity to have Luo Jixun mobilize 30,000 troops to station them in the suburbs far from the imperial capital, the Empress Dowager did not order General Nan to mobilize troops privately.

Because the Empress Dowager never expected that Chao Sihai was not dead at all.

Not only did he not die, he also laid a secret network in the palace. Taking advantage of the years when he was the chief eunuch, he placed spies in various palaces, and even the homes of those ministers were not spared.

Partly it was because the previous emperor was suspicious and asked him to do this, and secondly, he did it for his own sake.

After all, when one reaches that position, how could he not build up his own power?

He handed over all his power to Ji Chuhe.

It seemed that the Empress Dowager and Xiao Wenxuan were fighting, but in fact, Ji Chuhe was manipulating it behind the scenes.

She wanted the Grand Empress Dowager to win, and then she won.

If she wanted Xiao Wenxuan to win, Xiao Wenxuan would win.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager lost in an unclear manner.

Until the day she died, she still believed that Si De was the remnant of Concubine Luo's power.

No one knows that the name Side was taken from Si Hai.

The Empress Dowager regarded General Nan as her last bargaining chip, but before she could use it, she was no longer alive.

When Nan Jianguo saw Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an coming at the same time, he immediately stood up and knelt to salute.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

"General Nan, please stand up." Xiao Yan'an stepped forward and personally helped General Nan up.

General Nan was terrified.

During this period, he didn't get a good night's sleep, and he didn't know what kind of outcome he would face next.

"General Nan, the court has been busy lately. I should have come to see you a long time ago." Xiao Yan'an took the initiative to speak.

General Nan knelt down again and said, "I am guilty. How can I trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit me? I should take the initiative to confess my mistakes to the emperor." General Nan said in fear and trepidation.

"General Nan, don't panic. When the palace was in chaos, you were in the palace and didn't leave for a moment, let alone participate in it. What crime have you committed? Besides, you are an old minister, and it is understandable that you are close to the Empress Dowager. Now that the dust has settled, the guilty have all been brought to justice. General Nan, don't worry."

General Nan looked at Xiao Yanan in disbelief.

Could it be that the emperor will not hold him accountable for his crimes?

"General Nan, you came to the imperial capital to discuss military reforms. Right now, the court is discussing palace reforms. Tomorrow you will attend the morning court with us to discuss this matter. What do you think?"

"I unconditionally support Your Majesty in carrying out military reforms and am willing to follow Your Majesty's lead!" General Nan immediately expressed his loyalty.

At this time, let alone asking him to participate in the reform, even if he was asked to hand over his military power, he would not hesitate for the sake of the lives of his family.

"Then we'll meet in the court tomorrow. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe walked out of the palace and got on the carriage.

"Prince, actually, you can come alone this time. You don't need me to accompany you."

"I want to be with you and see the results of our victory."

"It's not even a victory yet. Aren't there still Luo Jixun and Ji Zhenghui?"

"How long can they keep jumping around?" Xiao Yan'an knew that this was their last madness.

This is also the reason why General Nan is so frightened.

He was really scared.

He was afraid of Ji Chuhe's methods, and even more afraid that Ji Chuhe would attack him.

"I know that Madam deliberately kept Luo Jixun because she wanted to take the opportunity to completely eliminate the power of the Luo family."

"Yes, after all, they are hostile forces, and there is no benefit in keeping them. Moreover, if we don't frame Luo Jixun, we can't accuse him of a crime. He has military power in his hands, which is always a hidden danger. If he doesn't make mistakes, it will be even harder to catch him. Instead of trying to deal with him later, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to catch him in one fell swoop. With his current crime, there is no way he can survive."

"It's only now that I understand your entire plan." Xiao Yan'an looked at Ji Chuhe with a hint of admiration, "No wonder the entire Huaiyang Palace was executed in the previous life. If it weren't for you, perhaps we wouldn't be able to change our fate and would have ended up like that."

"You are worthy of my planning." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
