Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Jiang Fenghua was not going to reason with her, and ordered the soldiers to clear the way. Lin Fengting straightened his back and stood in front of Xie Minmin: "Master, please."

Soldiers came forward one after another. No matter who the guards outside the Hengyang Palace were, they drew their swords and scared them away instantly.

Seeing this, Xie Minmin said coldly, "What are you doing? You are so presumptuous and bold. The Empress Dowager will not see you..."

Jiang Fenghua said coldly, "She was able to become the Grand Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty because the late emperor honored her as the Empress Dowager, and the new emperor conferred her the title of Grand Empress Dowager. Now that the late emperor has passed away, I came to Hengyang Palace only to fulfill the late emperor's last wish." She was also on guard against the woman in front of her, and asked Lin Feng and his men to keep a close eye on her.

"Who are you?" Xie Minmin was speechless for a moment. Only the queen in the palace would call her "this queen".

Lian Ye and Nanny Wang followed Jiang Fenghua closely, and regardless of how Xie Minmin shouted behind them, they found someone to lead the way and headed straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

When they arrived at the Qing'an Palace of the Grand Empress Dowager, Xie Minmin blocked the door again and said, "No matter which noble you are in the Shengjing Imperial City, the Grand Empress Dowager will not meet anyone in the Imperial City."

Jiang Fenghua's eyes flashed with coldness, and he shouted coldly, "It's not up to you to decide whether to meet or not, get out of the way."

At this moment, an old man's voice came from Qing'an Hall, "Minmin, let her in."

Xie Minmin said respectfully, "Yes, Grandmother."

As Jiang Fenghua slowly entered the palace, an old man with silver hair sat inside. The old man raised his head, stared at Jiang Fenghua with a pair of piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You are the new emperor's queen!"

Jiang Fenghua walked steadily and gracefully, and knelt down respectfully in front of the Grand Empress Dowager in front of her, "Granddaughter-in-law Jiang pays homage to the Grand Empress Dowager, may the Grand Empress Dowager live." It seems that she is not completely indifferent to what is happening outside! You can even guess who she is.

"Now you've paid your respects and met, so go back!" said the Empress Dowager calmly.

Jiang Fenghua was stunned and said quickly, "The granddaughter-in-law was asked by the late emperor to come and pay respect to the Empress Dowager. Before the late emperor passed away, he was thinking of his mother and Prince Kang."

The Empress Dowager's eyes turned cold. "I only have one son, and he has imprisoned him in the northwest for life and cannot come back. Prince Kang's lineage has long been suppressed and exterminated by him."

Hearing this, Jiang Fenghua slowly stood up with Nanny Wang's hand, found a place to sit down, and said, "If they were really extinct, how could Princess Minmin appear in Hengyang Palace?"

She guessed that the woman named Minmin in front of her should be a descendant of Prince Kang, who was able to serve the Empress Dowager. Prince Kang was in his fifties, and the woman in front of her was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Prince Kang had been demoted to the northwest for more than thirty years, which meant that this woman was born in the northwest. But now she appeared in the Hengyang Palace, which meant that the Empress Dowager had already had contact with Prince Kang in the northwest.

However, all the people in Hengyang Palace were the late emperor's people, and the late emperor was always paying attention to the situation in Hengyang Palace. Even though the late emperor knew that Princess Minmin appeared in Hengyang Palace, he did not stop them from communicating.

Xie Minmin was stunned by Jiang Fenghua's aura for a long time and couldn't react. She stammered, "How dare you...how dare you be so disrespectful to the Royal Grandmother."

"I am the daughter-in-law of Emperor Huijing, and she doesn't even acknowledge that she has a son. How can the Empress Dowager care whether I respect her or not?" Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.

The Empress Dowager's face turned green with anger. She held the dragon-headed cane in her hand and said in a deep voice, "I didn't know that more than 30 years have passed, and there is still a descendant who can come to me to speak up for him. I will make him live in pain until his death. He cut off ties with me and imprisoned me in the Hengyang Palace. He killed his own brother and plotted to murder His Majesty to seize the throne, but in the end he died before me. Retribution, retribution!"

Jiang Fenghua now finally understood why the late emperor never thought about the word "love". He was also forced to have no emotions. In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, he was not a good son and brother. In the eyes of the princes, he was not a good father. Even in the eyes of the concubines in the harem, he was not a good husband. But he could barely be considered a good emperor.

The late emperor turned himself into a lonely man.

Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Although Prince Kang went to the northwest, his princely title is still there. Given his intention to rebel back then, and the Empress Dowager's intention to help Prince Kang seize the throne that originally belonged to the late emperor, the late emperor still kept the Empress Dowager in Hengyang Palace and let Prince Kang go to the northwest to be a prince. What else was he thinking about if not the brotherhood between them? Did the late emperor think about helping a bunch of traitors to live out their days in peace?"

She couldn't understand that Prince Kang and the late emperor were both sons of the Empress Dowager. Even if she favored the younger son, she wouldn't hate the older son so much!

She is also a mother, having been a mother in two lifetimes. No matter what, she cannot hate her own children.

Jiang Fenghua didn't know why the mother and her two children had become so incompatible. She was not in a fair and impartial position to judge their right and wrong. She knew she was not qualified, and she was not a god in heaven who could enlighten all living beings.

She just wanted to side with the late emperor out of selfish desire. Even if it was unreasonable, she still wanted to side with the late emperor who had done her a favor.

Jiang Fenghua admits that she is also a selfish person. If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. However, when she encounters someone who cannot explain the reason, she will turn into a shrew and argue.

She was just thankful that the late emperor could not hear these hurtful words.

She said in a cold voice, "The Empress Dowager is seeking the throne for Prince Kang. Is she really fighting for this position for the people of the world? Isn't she also selfishly seeking power and status?" She believed that everyone is selfish, and no matter how you look at it, everyone is selfish.

Xie Minmin said, "My father doesn't want to fight for the throne. He is the most virtuous. Moreover, my grandmother and grandfather both think that only my father is suitable to be the emperor of the Great Zhou. His abdication is also for the sake of the Great Zhou."

Jiang Fenghua smiled, "You mean to say that Prince Kang would be a wise ruler if he became emperor?"

Xie Minmin argued, "At least my father would not employ treacherous ministers. In the end, it was my uncle who wanted to kill my father and imprisoned my grandmother in Hengyang Palace and did not allow her to leave. He even restricted her and did not allow her to go to the northwest to see my father. The hatred he felt over the years is something you, an outsider, cannot understand."

"I understand. The princess thinks your father will not employ treacherous ministers if he becomes emperor." She then turned to the Grand Empress Dowager and said, "Is it because the late emperor was not easily controlled by the Grand Empress Dowager, and Prince Kang obeyed the Grand Empress Dowager's wishes in everything? That's why the Grand Empress Dowager likes Prince Kang more and thinks that Prince Kang is more suitable for the position."

The Empress Dowager stared at Jiang Fenghua's eyes and felt incredible, "You..."

"After all, it's my own selfishness that's at work." Jiang Fenghua had long seen through people's hearts. They were always obsessed with power and profit. Who would do something without profit? She didn't want to be the empress dowager, but insisted on helping her youngest son become the emperor.

"If Prince Kang had become the emperor, how would he have run the Xie family's kingdom? He might have killed Emperor Hui Jing's Eagle Claws and trained a group of his own Eagle Claws. Can the Empress Dowager deny this?"
