The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

At dinner, Ji Ningqiu said many touching words and drank a lot of wine. When everyone was a little drunk, the banquet came to an end.

In the middle of the night, Ji Yan hid in the darkness, and watched with a clear expression as the door of the study was pushed open by two people. Looking at the half-covered face, it looked unfamiliar. It should be the person brought out of the palace by Concubine Xian.

Ji Yan was waiting outside. After a while, two people came out of the house in the dark, looked around carefully, and went straight to Zelanxuan.

It seems that what the Fifth Miss said was right, the virtuous concubine did have evil intentions.

fortunately...

After Ji Ningqiu returned to the palace, Ning Huaixuan begged her to finally get the military map of the border. Ning Huaixuan's face turned black, "You mean, Ji Kang wants to rebel?!"

"Your Majesty...I don't want you to worry. After all, if there is a war, it is the people who will suffer..."

Ji Ningqiu's half-answer words made Ning Huaixuan more certain of what he was thinking. He sneered and said, "I thought Prime Minister Ji was upright and honest, and one of the most honest officials in the Dali Dynasty. I didn't expect that he had been planning this for several years. Was it from the moment he became a minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor! From the moment I ascended the throne! He has always wanted to rebel?!"

Military maps of border counties and several letters to foreign enemies are irrefutable evidence. Even his son, the Right Major General, was a key figure in his rebellion.

Ji Ningqiu brought a cup of tea, "Your Majesty... Now that we have evidence, after the Ji family falls, no one in the court will oppose Your Majesty..."

This can be considered tenderness and affection, and she always considers Ning Huaixuan. Ji Ningqiu thought that after the Ji family fell, according to the promise, she would be the queen of the Dali Dynasty, and also the queen of Ning Huaixuan...

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted and her chin was suddenly pinched so hard that it hurt. Ji Ningqiu was forced to look up at Ning Huaixuan, who had suppressed his anger. Her painful eyes were filled with physiological tears.

"His Majesty..."

Ning Huaixuan laughed, "The Ji family is harboring evil intentions, and their crimes deserve death. Aren't you afraid that it will implicate you?"

Or are you still doubting the authenticity of this letter?

Ji Ningqiu stroked his hand and said lovingly, "Your Majesty, I only have your Majesty in my eyes. As long as I can help your Majesty, I am willing to sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice, as long as your Majesty does not cause too much trouble to others..."

"You mean, I will only punish the eldest branch of the Ji family?"

Ji Ningqiu nodded, "My uncle is a powerful person, and I only found out about this by chance. The second and third wives are not aware of this..."

Ning Huaixuan took a deep breath and said, "He is quite courageous."

Ji Ningqiu left in a daze, still unable to recover from her shock. She stared at the shadows outside disappearing into the night with a sense of loss, feeling a dull pain in her heart. His Majesty should have pitied her.

late at night.

An imperial edict was hastily sent to the Ji family, and the person who came was the eunuch who was always beside His Majesty. Ji Kang was wearing an outer coat, and the air of early spring was still a little chilly.

"I ordered Ji Kang to come to the palace to see the emperor."

Ji Kang asked, "At this hour, the palace gates are already locked. I wonder what important matter Your Majesty wants to summon me for?"

The eunuch probably got wind of something and shook his head at Ji Kang, "Your Majesty has received something and is now furious in the palace. Prime Minister, you better be careful."

Late at night, Ji Mengshu came out of Fulan Pavilion and said while sorting Ji Kang's clothes, "Father, don't panic. I'm afraid someone has framed the Ji family, and the forged evidence has been handed over to His Majesty. Father, just tell the truth, and everything will naturally come to light."

Ji Mengshu's words made Ji Kang even more confused, but calling him into the palace in the middle of the night was definitely not a good thing.

The palace's hurricane lanterns were hung under the gate. In the darkness, they were like two red eyes, staring at the master of the palace with eager eyes.

Inside the palace, Ning Huaixuan's eyes reflected the dim moonlight in the darkness. He looked at Ji Kang standing alone in the palace with a cold expression, and said, "Prime Minister, you know that the previous emperor passed away early. Over the years, I have been telling you everything I know..."

"Your Majesty...I am worthy of the late emperor and Your Majesty."

-

Ji Kang did not leave the palace all night. Jiang Mu's courtyard was also lit all night, accompanied by Ji Yuanzheng and Ji Mengshu.

The next morning.

The imperial guards in the palace came directly to the Ji Mansion. The leader held a golden token and said, "The emperor has ordered to summon the right major general of Bianjun to the palace for questioning!"

Looking at the scene, how could it be as simple as just entering the palace to question?

Mother Jiang never thought that her husband and son would fall into the tiger's mouth one by one, and she felt powerless all over. "Shu'er... Is the Ji family..."

"No, mother. Believe me, His Majesty would not dare to do anything to father and brother without solid evidence."

Ji Yuanzheng stepped out of the Ji Mansion. The two men behind the Imperial Guard leader were about to come over to capture him. Ji Yuanzheng glanced at them coldly and said, "No need. I can walk by myself."

The women and children of the Ji family stood at the door. Ji Yuanzheng said, "Mother, Ah Shu, please don't worry about me..."

The leader of the imperial guards snorted coldly and took Ji Yuanzheng away. The Ji Mansion was also under the close surveillance of the royal family.

Ji Ningqiu didn't expect Ning Huaixuan to act so quickly. In just a few days, Ji Kang and Ji Yuanzheng were imprisoned one after another. However, the second and third houses of the Ji family have not been implicated yet.

Ever since Ji Kang and his son were taken away, the Second Lady has been feeling uneasy and worried all day long, fearing that she would be implicated by the First Wife at any time. Fortunately, she received a letter from Ji Ningqiu, which only told everyone to rest assured that His Majesty is wise and will definitely not implicate anyone.

The main house of the Ji family began to look depressed.

The second and third wives avoided him and took two days of sick leave.

Surprisingly, everyone in and outside the huge capital city was trying to protect themselves. Except for a few upright and wise officials in the court, everyone else saw that Ji Kang was in trouble and took advantage of the situation to add insult to injury, pinning all other charges on Ji Kang.

Jiang's mother used her connections to meet Ji Kang and Ji Yuanzheng privately in prison.

Ji Mengshu disguised himself as a servant and followed him in. In the damp and dark dungeon, except for the faint light from the candles sunk deep into the walls, the small window in the cell was very small.

The air was filled with a variety of mixed smells, which was very unpleasant. Ji Mengshu came in by himself.

The jailer who led the way collected enough money, led the man to the cell, and said coldly, "Only one stick of incense will do."

"Ah Shu? Why are you here?" Ji Yuan saw the person coming in the dim light. He knew that his mother must have moved around to appear here. "Do you know how dangerous this place is?"
