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

"Stubborn." Ning Huaixuan thought that the most careless thing he had ever done in his life was not killing Prince Wu at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

The meeting hall was surrounded, but they entered the hall with almost no resistance. The officials in the hall were eloquent in the court, but now with a knife at their necks, they had no power to fight back.

Prince Wu waved his hand and all the people present were imprisoned. The emperor and his concubines were all placed under house arrest.

The Queen Mother twitched her lips as she looked at the weather-beaten face of Prince Wu. In her panic, her whole body convulsed.

If Prince Wu had not felt that it was unlucky that the Queen Mother died on the first day he attacked the city, he would never have asked the imperial physician to come for treatment.

The imperial physician placed his hand on the Queen Mother's wrist, sweating profusely, and turned around and said, "The Queen Mother is so angry that she has already suffered a stroke..."

"Then heal it." Prince Wu wiped the blood off his face and said, "Mother, if I win the throne, you will still be the Queen Mother. Who says you are my biological mother?"

Inside the palace, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the gloomy sky and thinking that all their efforts over the years had finally paid off, and that following the new emperor, being granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister was just around the corner.

-

Inside the prime minister's residence.

Jiang Mu fiddled with the porridge in front of her, but still had no appetite. The news in the palace was kept strictly confidential, and no news had leaked out until now. She didn't know what happened to the ministers in the palace.

"Hey..."

"Mother, how about I go and ask around?"

Mother Jiang shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer."

This wait lasted for five days, and by the time everyone in the world knew that Prince Wu had rebelled, the emperor was placed under house arrest in the palace.

Prince Wu and his confidants stayed in the palace to discuss the matter of ascending the throne and dealing with ministers.

"When dynasties change, naturally there will be new ministers for each new king. If I keep the ministers from the previous dynasty, they will not be loyal to me."

"That's what His Highness said."

There were many close confidants who supported him. The person who spoke was none other than the Inspector General of Anbei, who was also a minister of the previous dynasty. However, no one knew when he defected to Prince Wu.

Ning Rongzhang frowned and said, "The country has just been settled. These ministers are the pillars of the court. How can the court function without them? Why not proceed step by step and find the right successor before making a decision?"

Inspector Anbei rolled his eyes and smiled slyly, "Yes, King Changyou is right."

After a few days, Ji Mengshu was trapped in the mansion, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he quietly changed his clothes and climbed over the wall to leave from the back mansion.

She had just taken two or three steps when someone suddenly pushed her shoulder, "Girl."

"Ning Er, why are you still here?"

Hadn't she asked him to leave when the capital was in turmoil? The people in the Ji Mansion stayed, but Ning Er, Ji Mengshu didn't think she was his master.

"It was the prince who asked me to come and look after the girl." Ning Er told the truth.

"Prince Changyou? He followed Prince Wu in the rebellion. He must be in the palace now. I have misjudged him. You should go back quickly."

Ji Mengshu sneered. She thought that she had misjudged those who had followed Prince Wu in the rebellion. It would be better if they could go their separate ways and never see each other again.

"Your Highness is just worried about the girl's safety. After all, the girl saved His Highness's life. Just tell me what you want to do..." Ning Er bowed, as if he didn't hear what she said.

People who follow Prince Changyou must know some inside information.

"Well, it's like this. Father hasn't come back from the palace yet. What happened?"

A team of patrolling soldiers suddenly appeared at the intersection, and Ji Mengshu quickly pulled them to hide around the corner.

"The Prime Minister and the others should be fine now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Prince Wu's men are often patrolling outside, so you should go back quickly, young lady."

Ji Mengshu went back in a daze, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to pack up his gold and silver jewelry, waiting for Ji's father to come back. They begged for mercy, saying that whoever wanted to be the prime minister of the Dali Dynasty could do it, and they could just retire to the countryside.

Facts have proved that in times of chaos, no one can remain intact.

Ji Xiuwen had somehow become a god to Prince Wu, and often gave him advice. Half of the ministers who were originally imprisoned had returned home in glory, and some died in prison due to fierce resistance.

As for Ji Kang, he was still imprisoned at the request of Ji Xiuwen, as if he did not exist at all.

How could Ji Xiuwen be a person who would repay a favor?

It would be nice if he didn't add insult to injury.

Ji Mengshu climbed over the wall again and found Ning Er. He said, "Take me to see your prince."

Ning Rongzhang temporarily lived in the prince's mansion outside the palace. After breaking through the city gate, this guy seemed to have suddenly become calm and indifferent, and he no longer fought or competed.

After Ji Mengshu followed the man in, she suddenly realized that this guy had started to act a little more decent, but his words and actions seemed to indicate that he was not familiar with her.

Unfamiliar?

She saved him at a farm on the outskirts of the city, gave him the recipe for rouge, and they met several times afterwards. There was even a jade rabbit he gave her in her bedroom.

Later, he kidnapped her and let her live in his house for a long time. Isn't it a little late to say that they are not familiar with each other now?

"You are here because of Prime Minister Ji's matter?"

Ji Mengshu nodded.

The man's eyes were cold and narrow, with a hint of indifference in them. "Why would I help you?"

Ji Mengshu: ???

"What do you want?"

"The wind is strong in the capital, and it just so happens that I'm in need of a maid to serve me." Ning Rongzhang leisurely held the teacup, as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary, just like: The weather is really nice today.

Ji Mengshu almost thought that she had misheard, or that she had never understood who Ning Rongzhang was. Her mind was in a state of confusion, but Ning Rongzhang did not rush her. He just fed the koi in the pond, as peaceful and calm as if there had never been a coup in the palace.

"Ji Xiuwen chose to join Prince Wu when he started his rebellion. After all, he was a friend of the great scholar for a while, and now he has become a favorite in Prince Wu's eyes... Oh, by the way, as for why Prime Minister Ji is still in prison, it was Ji Xiuwen's doing."

Ning Rongzhang handed the empty wooden tray to the maid beside him, and then continued, "The relationship between the three branches of the Ji family is not good. It is unknown whether Ji Xiuwen will take revenge on the Prime Minister at this moment."

"Yes, I will. I am just a maid." Ji Mengshu took the wooden tray from the maid and stood beside Ning Rongzhang. "Please protect my father, Your Majesty."

Although she said this, Ji Mengshu was actually despising him in her heart. For the sake of her family, she had no choice but to bow to the treacherous minister.

In Prince Wu's faction, she was only familiar with Ning Rongzhang. It was true that fortunes change over time. In life, one more friend means one less enemy, right?

Ning Rongzhang curled up the corners of his lips and was in a good mood.
