Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

Early in the morning, the grand court meeting began.

Before Emperor Yongjia could even come to his senses, a large number of people impeached Lu Changyuan.

The one who rushed to the front this time was the Minister of War Liu Yaohai. He said, "Your Majesty, as a relative of the emperor, Lu Changyuan first exchanged 500 good horses for sick horses to harm the Xiaomatan Horse Farm, and now he secretly let go the thief from the Southern Chen Dynasty that General Yun Qingxiao had caught with great difficulty. Your Majesty, I think Lu Changyuan has evil intentions and is suspected of treason.

It’s no wonder that the ministers were suspicious. Even Emperor Yongjia couldn’t understand Lu Changyuan’s magical operation.

Several memorials came in succession from Fufeng County, and except for Lu Changyuan himself, all of them mentioned that Lu Changyuan had let Wang Xu escape. Emperor Yongjia himself had spies in Fufeng County, and the spies also verified the matter.

"Your Majesty, I think the war situation in Southern Shu is complicated right now. Duke Dingguo should not go to the battlefield in Southern Shu, but should be escorted back to the capital and ordered to conduct a thorough investigation by the three departments. If he is innocent, he can be assigned an important task!" said the Vice Minister of War.

Emperor Yongjia exhaled heavily, his eyes fell on the prince, "Prince, what do you say?"

Then it’s not just the prince who has to speak.

The prince said, "I think what the ministers said makes sense, but I think Duke Dingguo must be hiding something. The situation on the battlefield in Southern Shu is urgent right now, so we should not waste time on this and should focus on repelling the enemy first."

The King of Han and the King of Zhao also spoke in unison at this time and agreed with the Crown Prince.

Emperor Yongjia was not surprised at all. The empress had brought up her three sons very well. So well that in order not to make the empress sad, the three sons put aside their past grudges and spoke up for Duke Dingguo in unison.

After the court session, the prince brought his two younger brothers to the queen's palace.

In the palace, as the weather turned colder, the queen's health deteriorated. She kept coughing and wheezing, her face was pale, and she was leaning on the head of the bed taking medicine.

When she saw her sons coming, she asked the nanny to take the medicine away and open the window to let in the air.

"Mother, your son will serve you the medicine!" The prince took the medicine, drank a small sip himself, and fed it to the queen. The queen smiled and shook her head, "It's just like that after drinking it."

Prince Zhao said, "Didn't Yanzhijian prescribe medicine for mother before? Why didn't mother use the medicine to recuperate?"

The Queen said, "You can only take that medicine for one or two courses of treatment. Drinking too much will be harmful to your body. Alas, I thought that Yanzhijian and the fourth brother were engaged, and she would treat me as her mother, but who knew..., I was just being sentimental!"

The prince felt extremely sad when he heard this.

The King of Han was furious, thinking of Xie Jinzhao's face and figure, "Mother, we shouldn't have let the fourth son marry Jinzhao. How could the fourth son be on the same side with us? I remember that the Minister of War was good friends with the fourth son, and today the Minister of War impeached Duke Dingguo."

The Queen heard something, "Did Chang Yuan really do that stupid thing?"

Prince Zhao said, "Mother, I think my cousin must have his own reasons. Why would he collude with the Southern Chen? Mother, I remember one thing. When the Xie family of the Southern Chen was destroyed, I heard that Dou Yi and Wang Lin set up a trap for the Xie family. Could it be because of this incident that my cousin had to let Wang Xu go?"

The Queen nodded. She was also involved in this matter. The Queen of Southern Chen was too popular, and as the Queen of Northern Qi, her reputation was overshadowed. She felt uncomfortable when she occasionally heard the Emperor say, "Queen Xie is extremely talented and brilliance, unparalleled in the world."

Dou Yi was her man, and she thought the emperor was helping her solve her problem, so she asked Dou Yi if he had any way to deal with the Xie family. Dou Yi came up with this conspiracy.

Fortunately, Xiao Shengyuan himself could not tolerate the Xie family.

It can be said that destroying the Xie family is not something that one person can do, after all, it is a military camp.

If the death of Xie family were to be announced to the world, it would chill the hearts of many soldiers on the border!

"Chang Yuan must have had his own reasons. But now that your father has issued an edict granting a marriage between Yan Zhi Jian and the fourth son, there is no point in saying this." Queen Lu was filled with regret and stroked Prince Zhao's cheek. "Mother knows what you are thinking, but don't think about it. Mother is reluctant to let you marry a divorced woman. You are the legitimate son and you cannot lose face like this."

King Zhao uttered a sullen "hmm", feeling very unwilling.

In the past, Xie Jinzhao and Lu Changyuan were engaged since birth, and he couldn't possibly have any desire for them. But now they've divorced, so why can't he have any desire for them?

Wouldn’t it be better if the fourth brother died?

"Mom, you are not in good health. Let the fourth brother come back and ask him to think of a way to see if Yanzhijian can come forward to treat mom." King Zhao said.

The King of Han said, "Father has always been partial and doesn't trust the three of us brothers. He has supported the fourth brother in the army. Originally, there was Chang Yuan who opposed him. Now most of the ministers in the court are dissatisfied with Chang Yuan. He has also cultivated several confidants. If he continues to develop secretly, how can we brothers gain a foothold in the future?"

The queen was also worried.

The next day, the queen fell ill.

The result of the consultation with the imperial physicians was not good. The empress called out the names of several of her sons on her sickbed. She had always treated Prince Zhuang as her own son, and the emperor did not suspect anything and ordered his four sons to take turns to come to the palace to take care of her.

After receiving the secret report, Ling Jinglan had to give up the idea of ​​going to Southern Shu with Xie Jinzhao.

Xie Jinzhao thought of a situation that had happened in his previous life. When Ling Jinglan entered the palace to take care of an ill patient, his three brothers set up an ambush in front of Xing'an Gate, which was his only way to pass. After the Xing'an Gate Incident, Ling Qingchen never appeared in public again.

It is said that King Zhuang died.

Now it seems that after that battle, Ling Qingchen simply faked his death and lived as Ling Jinglan. He probably hated his identity as a prince and was only willing to be a wanderer.

But they were unwilling to fulfill even this little wish of his, and in the end, they used her as bait to kill him all.

In this life, many things seem to have happened ahead of time.

Xie Jinzhao gave him a few instructions, telling him to bring more people with him even when entering or leaving the palace. He also gave him some antidotes and poisons before letting him leave.

As soon as Ling Jinglan left, Xie Jinzhao immediately called for the killers from Changliu Sect. This was the most profitable business of Changliu Sect. As long as someone was willing to pay, there was no one they could not kill.

Xie Jinzhao asked these people to follow Ling Jinglan back to the capital, and set up an ambush at Xing'an Gate or Yanzheng Gate in advance when Ling Jinglan entered the palace. Once there was any unusual movement, they would directly kill the Crown Prince, Prince Zhao and Prince Han.

The three imperial brothers are all Ling Jinglan’s half-brothers with the same father. Even in the previous life, they tried to kill Ling Qingchen, but Ling Qingchen chose to withdraw rather than confront them.

Ling Jinglan is a very sentimental person, and he has a passionate heart towards his country and his family.

But Xie Jinzhao didn't. When she made this decision, she didn't even consider her and Ling Qingchen's future. As long as the killer from Changliumen made a move, he would definitely be exposed. There was no doubt that it was her who made the move.

But so what?

She may not marry Ling Jinglan, but in this life, no matter what, she must repay Ling Jinglan's life.

The most important thing is that she can't be exploited again.
