Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

Ever since Zhuque arrived at the Mansion of Marquis Wushen, Daji also woke up from her slumber. The mansion was in chaos because of a bird and a beast, and everyone in the mansion was complaining.

If one of them was not a divine bird and the other a spiritual beast, Shen Zhaojun would have ordered them to be stewed together. Now he could only urge his daughter to keep a close eye on them and not let them do anything wrong in the mansion.

Faced with complaints from everyone in the mansion, You Huang could only ask Xue Zun for help and ask him to get the two little guys away quickly.

It is unknown when rumors began to circulate in Tiandu City: In the past, immortal cultivators visited the Mansion of Marquis Wushen, and now divine birds and beasts have descended, and the Chu family is the chosen royal family.

In the palace, the empress was going crazy.

The imperial teacher never returned, and Princess Shude had an accident on the way to the palace and is still recovering from her injuries.

However, word spread among the people that a divine bird and a divine beast had descended on the Marquis of Wushen's mansion. This made the situation worse, and from the Empress's perspective it was like adding fuel to the fire, and she almost fainted from anger.

Royal study room.

Since taking over as regent, the prince has not seen the empress.

When he was suddenly summoned to the imperial study, he was shocked when he saw his biological mother's appearance. He immediately realized that it was a sequelae of becoming younger.

"Mother, you must not consume the Jade Girl Beauty Cream anymore." The prince knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, birth, aging, illness and death are the natural laws of nature. Going against the laws of nature will eventually backfire. Your son will not despise you, mother."

"Do you think that what the Queen Mother cares about is this face?" The Queen Mother looked at her son and said, "What the Queen Mother cares about is the Yu family's kingdom, and your kingdom, my son."

"Marquis Wushen has never usurped the throne, so why did my mother..." Before the prince finished speaking, the empress snorted coldly and said, "This is the wisdom of Chu Ce. He really has no intention of usurping the throne, but now everyone in the people is looking forward to his becoming emperor."

"Your Majesty made one mistake after another." The Empress was silent for a long time before she slowly said, "Your Majesty thought that she could get everything she wanted by sitting on the throne. But when she sat on the dragon throne, she found that the throne was like a prisoner's shackle, holding you up on it and making you unable to move. There were many things you couldn't do on your own."

"Mother..." The prince hesitated and said, "Whatever your mother wants, I will help you achieve it."

"It's impossible..." A trace of longing flashed in the empress's eyes: "Everyone has experienced unrequited love in their youth, and my mother is no exception. At that time, Chu Ce was as dazzling as the sun in the sky. Every woman who saw him was attracted to him, and my mother was no exception."

The prince was stunned for a moment before he understood. He said calmly, "It is indeed impossible. The Yu family's ancestral precepts say: The two families are of the same origin, and the heir to the throne cannot marry into the Chu family."

"Yes, our two families are of the same origin." The empress said with a bitter smile, "He supported Mother to ascend the throne, firstly to prevent your royal grandfather from granting him a marriage, and secondly to use this ancestral precept to trap Mother. The couple pushed Mother into this situation step by step, and now they want to seize our Yu clan's kingdom. Mother is unwilling to accept this."

"Mother, the people are just dissatisfied with you for protecting the Imperial Princess's residence..." The prince hesitated and said, "Mother, do you remember that Imperial Master Yan was introduced to the palace by Imperial Princess Shude? Was the Jade Maiden Beauty Cream he presented to you a gift from him, or was it specially developed by Imperial Princess Shude for you?"

"My dear, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, the empress felt a chill in her back and wondered what was happening to her lately.

I had always been wary of this woman in the past, but why did I become close to her recently and even accept her advice?

The prince lowered his eyes and said, "It is said that the blood of Yi women contains Gu from birth. The Yi high priest uses the Gu to control the women in the tribe and make them collect intelligence for the Yi tribe. In many cases, those women are helpless, and Princess Bao Shude is no exception. It seems that the Yi tribe still has evil intentions."

The empress knew all this, but... she sighed and said, "Since my mother ascended the throne, she has been so busy with the government affairs she has to deal with every day that she has no time to care about the affairs of the Yi people. She has only planted some spies, but has never seen them take any action, so she has not paid too much attention to it. Could it be..."

"Forget it, it's too late to say anything now." The empress said with a dim look in her eyes: "The Marquis of Wushen Mansion is at its peak in terms of strength, reputation, and popularity. This is also the reason why the Queen Mother ordered the construction of dams and the opening of rivers. We can't let the people only have the Marquis of Wushen in their hearts and not the king."

However, it turned out to have the opposite effect. The people in the south hated the queen mother even more, especially the businessmen.

The prince knew everything but dared not speak. He hesitated and said, "Mother, in my opinion, you should hand over the Princess Palace. Perhaps you can win back the people's support."

"The power behind Princess Shude is unfathomable. Who in Tiandu dares to take on this task?" The empress sighed helplessly. The prince thought for a moment and said, "I have a candidate. Mother, please give the matter to this person. She will definitely be able to handle it. We just need to find a reason..."

His eyes suddenly fell on the face of the empress, and the prince said calmly: "Just charge her with conspiracy with the alchemist to murder my mother. This will not only solve the problem of the imperial concubine's mansion, but also explain why my mother did not attend the court in the morning. It will kill two birds with one stone."

"How do you plan to let that person attack the Emperor's Mansion?"

The empress was not so stupid as to let her son take action against the extremely cunning Princess Shude without asking any questions.

The prince bowed and said, "My Queen Mother, that person is a head constable in the government office. She has a good relationship with the Tianji Pavilion. She can use the power of the Tianji Pavilion to deal with the Emperor Ji Mansion."

"Tianji Pavilion has a good relationship with Chu Youhuang." When mentioning Tianji Pavilion, the empress immediately thought of Chu Youhuang.

"It doesn't matter who cleaned up the Princess's mansion. What matters is that you, the Queen Mother, issued an order to order the government office to investigate the Princess's mansion and send secret guards to seize Yu Chengjing. He has always wanted to replace me, and perhaps this is what the Yi tribe wants."

The prince frowned and said, "What's the difference between an emperor with Yi blood and the Yi occupying Fuguang?"

The empress immediately understood what her son meant: "Yes, once Yu Chengjing ascends the throne, he will definitely make a move to invite wolves into the house and let the Yi tribe move into our court in large numbers. The court will soon become the world of the Yi tribe."

"Draft an edict for the Queen Mother, and order the government office to thoroughly investigate the Princess's residence."

In the past, the empress was hesitant about the Princess's Mansion, but now she is eager to eliminate it in one fell swoop.

"I understand!" The prince thought for a moment and asked, "Regarding the rumors, does your Majesty need me to send someone to investigate?"

"There is a formation barrier in the Marquis of Wushen Mansion, and our people cannot get close." The empress pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps the queen mother should change the old rules. The royal family should get closer to the Tianji Pavilion. Even if they have to lower their posture, they must establish a good relationship with him."

The prince thought for a moment and said, "The sword-fighting competition held by the Tianji Pavilion will begin soon. I think this is a good opportunity for us to show our goodwill."

"Very good, go and arrange it."
