The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

As soon as the decree was issued, there was an uproar in the court.

The eldest son who was once high and mighty was deposed from the throne and imprisoned in a dungeon in the blink of an eye, and his power collapsed like a building.

The sixth prince Mo Li suddenly transformed himself into the new crown prince, and his identity and status underwent a drastic change.

The old emperor was old and frail, and was plagued by illness. He had neither the intention nor the ability to handle state affairs.

As a result, the heavy burden of regulating the country fell on the shoulders of the new crown prince Mo Li.

Mo Li was ambitious, and once he gained power he could not wait to overhaul the court. Thus began the prelude to a major reshuffle in the court.

Those ministers who were originally attached to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other princes changed their minds and abandoned their old masters for their own interests and futures and began to look for new backers in the new power structure.

For a time, people in the court were in turmoil and undercurrents were surging.

Qu Qingyan is the new top scholar of this session. He should have entered the official career and displayed his talents with his status as the top scholar.

Since Mo Li controlled the government, in order to consolidate his own power and eliminate dissidents, he did not assign any official position to Qu Qingyan, but just let her stay at home, so that she had the title of top scholar but could not realize her ambition.

Qu Qingyan took it easy and had no complaints. After all, she won the title of No. 1 Scholar just to hinder Qu Xinzhu's system mission.

Looking back on her past life, Qu Xinzhu was very successful. She used her modern mind to become the richest person in the world and was appointed as the imperial merchant by the emperor. She also used the spiritual water in the space to cure the empress dowager's stubborn headache. Finally, relying on the halo of the heroine, she disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination and won the first place.

But in this life, the appearance of Qu Qingyan disrupted Qu Xinzhu's life trajectory.

The crooked Xinzhu is still unaware of this and is immersed in the dream of becoming the future queen.

"Young Master, this is a secret letter sent by Lord Sima Zheng." A black shadow flashed like a ghost, and the secret guard knelt on one knee with a nimble posture, holding a letter high in his hands.

Qu Qingyan looked calm. He reached out to take the secret letter and slowly unfolded it.

There was a line of bold and powerful characters written in thick ink on the letter paper: "It is a blessing to avoid the chaos of the authorities."

Qu Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a faint smile.

She knew in her heart that Sima Zheng was afraid that she would be depressed because she was the new top scholar but was put aside and had no official position, so he wrote the letter to comfort her.

With such a loyal character, he is indeed a person worth making friends with.

It’s a pity that his identity is the opposite, we can interact with each other but not with each other’s hearts.

Qu Qingyan looked calm and asked in a calm tone, "Where is Sima Zheng?"

"My lord, in recent days, the Crown Prince has frequently summoned Lord Sima to the East Palace to discuss matters, asking for advice on how to govern the country." The secret guard lowered his head and reported every detail of the information he had obtained.

Qu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter.

It was obvious that Mo Li was deliberately trying to bring Sima Zheng and Qu Xinzhu together.

Mo Li wants Sima Zheng to fall in love with Qu Xinzhu, and is willing to offer his luck to her in exchange for it from the dog system to achieve his goal.

What he did was tantamount to cuckolding himself.

In order to gain power, Mo Li would do anything to achieve his goal, even to the point of doing something absurd.

As expected, the only person he loves the most is himself. Qu Xinzhu and her in his previous life are just stepping stones for him.
