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

Nanny Zhang said, "I am innocent! Even if I am not convinced, I dare not murder the Third Prince. I followed the noble lady into the palace and will serve her wholeheartedly for my whole life. How could I possibly harm the noble lady's child? Please, Queen, please look into this matter."

The wet nurse was sent to the palace by the Tang family. She didn't take good care of the child and always instigated the queen to compete for favor in front of the queen mother. She had bad intentions and harmed the third prince."

The nurse also complained, "It was the noble lady herself who said that the empress dowager liked the little grandson, and she tried every means to take the third prince to the Cining Palace to pay respects to the empress dowager. I didn't know that drinking too much licorice soup would be fatal. Noble Lady Tang also wanted the third prince to get well soon. Aunt Zhang said that I had bad intentions, and you are the real vicious person. Once I saw Aunt Zhang sneak into the third prince's bedroom. I don't know what she was doing secretly. When I walked closer, I found that the third prince's feet were like ice cubes. It was so cold, and Aunt Zhang opened the prince's swaddling clothes. The third prince's illness was caused by Aunt Zhang."

Nanny Zhang was so scared that she quickly denied it. "I didn't do that. She slandered me. The Third Prince has always been taken care of by the wet nurse. It was clearly the wet nurse who didn't take good care of the Third Prince and made him sick. In the end, she also forced the Third Prince to drink medicine and instigated the nobles, which harmed the Third Prince..."

The two of them exposed each other's shortcomings, and just to get Tang Qianran's reward, they made the third prince suffer.

Xie Shang said coldly, "Drag them away and beat them to death. I will kill all nine generations of their clan."

The two were so scared that they begged for mercy and cried out for injustice. The guards dragged them away. The entire Changchun Palace fell into panic and begged Jiang Fenghua again, "Queen, please spare my life. I didn't harm the Third Prince. Except for Tang Guiren's confidants who can get close to the Third Prince, we are just cleaning the yard and doing rough work."

Jiang Fenghua remembered that last time she wanted to touch Tang Qianran's child, but her wet nurse didn't let her. It seemed that she was on guard against outsiders but not her own people.

Jiang Fenghua took the initiative to ask, "Besides Nanny Zhang and the wet nurse, who else is responsible for taking care of the Third Prince?"

The palace maids and eunuchs quickly pointed out that they were all brought into the palace by Tang Qianran from the Tang family. There were two maids and four servants, and so many people could not take good care of a baby.

Xie Shang knew what Jiang Fenghua meant. There were more than twenty people in the entire Changchun Palace. If they were all killed to accompany the prince in his burial, it would probably cause panic.

In the end, only the people Tang Qianran brought into the palace were executed, and all the other palace maids and eunuchs were punished to work in the laundry department.

Tang Qianran's child died and she went crazy, so Xie Shang directly banished her to the cold palace.

Jiang Fenghua watched her being sent away by the guards. How arrogant she was in the beginning, how miserable she is now. If she had not entered the palace, but married her childhood sweetheart, the man who only had eyes for her, she would definitely be very happy.

Everyone wants to enter the palace, but they don’t know that once they enter the palace, they are like entering a cage and will be trapped there for the rest of their lives.

She definitely couldn't be allowed to take the child away, so Jiang Fenghua arranged for a burial ceremony and sent the small coffin to the Huguo Temple to let a high monk pray for the third prince's soul. Then they chose a suitable day to bury him in the prince's tomb.

When the news of the third prince's death came out, the entire harem fell silent. It happened too suddenly.

The Queen Mother received the news and went to Changchun Palace in person. Looking at the empty palace, she looked cold and angry, "Where is the Third Prince? How could such a young child be gone just like that? Come out, where did he die?"

Jiang Fenghua was busy all morning, and Xie Shang had already gone to court. To him, it was just the death of an imperial heir, and there was no father-son relationship. All he could do was to try his best to arrange the funeral affairs of the third prince.

Jiang Fenghua's eyes were cold as she stood not far away and watched the Queen Mother go crazy. She didn't know how long she had been watching. It was as if she had seen through the coldness and indifference of the palace. She didn't feel sorry for anyone, nor did she feel sorry for anyone. She only hoped that the Third Prince's mother in his next life would love and care for him.

The Queen Mother turned around and saw Jiang Fenghua standing coldly in the corridor. She almost rushed over and angrily scolded Jiang Fenghua, "Where did you take the third prince? How could such a good child die? Queen, you..."

As she spoke, she wanted to slap Jiang Fenghua again to vent her anger, but before she could do so, Jiang Fenghua grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "Empress Dowager, please respect yourself."

The Queen Mother's wrist was pinched by her until it hurt, but Jiang Fenghua was not ready to let her go. The Queen Mother said angrily, "You...you are so presumptuous. I am the Queen Mother. Are you crazy?"

"Precisely because you are the empress dowager, I would like to ask Your Majesty to behave like an empress dowager and not slap others casually." Jiang Fenghua's voice was cold, and her eyes were filled with deep coldness.

Queen Mother Cheng stared at Jiang Fenghua with her eyes wide open. "Stop pretending. Aren't you a weak little girl? Now that you're the queen, you dare to treat me like this. Jiang Fenghua, do you think that just because you've been crowned the queen, the emperor can't depose you?"

"If I were really a weak little girl, would the Queen Mother be willing to accept me as your helper? Now that I have helped you deal with Su Tingwan and removed the thorn in your heart, the Queen Mother wants to stab me in the heart, right?"

"You...how can you be such a woman? If Shang'er knew that you were disrespectful to me, you would not have a good ending."

Jiang Fenghua sneered, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother can go to the Emperor to complain. You should also explain to the Emperor how the Third Prince died. You kept saying that you were doing it for the heir, but it was you who killed the heir."

"What do you mean? I didn't kill the heir to the throne. I love Xuan'er so much, how could I kill Xuan'er?" Queen Mother Cheng narrowed her eyes and started to go crazy again. "Did you secretly kill the third prince? It must be you. The entire harem fell into your hands. I have only been in power for a few months. Tang Qianran assisted me in managing the harem and something went wrong. You were not happy that I treated Tang Qianran's child well, so you not only seized power, but also killed Tang Qianran's son."

"Snapped"

All that was heard was the sound of slapping in the air, and everyone was stunned.

The Queen couldn't control her hand and slapped the Empress Dowager in the face. The sound of the slap in the empty Changchun Palace only made people more awed and frightened.

Her eyes were cold, and when Empress Dowager Cheng reacted, she almost roared, "Jiang Fenghua, you are committing treason. I will depose you and send you to the cold palace."

She also wanted to take action, but Jiang Fenghua didn't give her the chance and easily avoided her. This slap was just paying back the interest from the last time. In her previous life, Empress Dowager Cheng also disliked her in many ways and she had been beaten or scolded many times.

The Queen Mother saw this and roared, "Come here, take the Queen away. If she dares to hit me, I will let the Emperor know her true face."
