If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Compared to the warmth in Prince Chen's Mansion, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study was not very good at this moment.

Emperor Fu has not had a comfortable life these days.

Especially since the Pacification Division is now gradually getting on the right track, he originally wanted Yu'er to undermine Fu Jinyuan's power, but he didn't expect that it was Yu'er who was undermined.

Now the Zhenfu Division has completely fallen into Fu Jinyuan's hands.

"Have you seen the memorial submitted by the Pacification Department? There are nine departments in total, and each has a clear division of labor. Take a look, take a look!"

The first department is responsible for supervising all officials, the second department is responsible for collecting intelligence, the third department is responsible for various unconventional weapons and even drug manufacturing, to arresting, imprisoning, interrogating prisoners, etc., all have clear division of labor.

And all this was accomplished by Fu Jinyuan.

From the first to the ninth department of the Pacification Division, all of them are Fu Jinyuan's people.

Even if the Second Prince is the deputy commander, so what? Is there anyone in the Pacification Office that he can summon?

Whenever Emperor Fu thought of this, he was so angry that he could not sleep and could not eat.

He had to admit that he was a little scared.

He was afraid that Prince Chen's Pacification Office would threaten his court in the future.

Once the secrets of all civil and military officials in the court are in the hands of the Prince...

He Zhiyuan was naturally aware of the threat posed by the King of Chen becoming stronger.

"Your Majesty, the Pacification Bureau is not yet firmly established. We can take advantage of this opportunity to place personnel there as soon as possible."

"Do you think I don't want to? Nowadays, anyone who can enter the Pacification Bureau is personally selected by Prince Chen." Emperor Fu said coldly.

This was not a difficult problem for He Zhiyuan to solve.

As long as King Chen is killed, all problems will be solved.

But he also knew in his heart that no matter how much the emperor feared the Ruan family, he would never really take action against his own son.

Back then, he even spared the life of the newly born Prince Chen, let alone now that he only has three sons, it is impossible for him to kill Prince Chen with his own hands.

The emperor can't, but he can.

If the Prince of Chen cannot be killed, then kill the Crown Prince.

The death of one of them would be a fatal blow to Queen Ruan. If it were discovered that the brothers had killed each other, would the Queen still be able to continue to remain as stable as a rock in the harem?

He Zhiyuan's eyes were deep, his mind was full of thoughts, he had already figured out how to deal with Prince Chen and the Crown Prince.

"Prime Minister He, why is there still no news about He Jingyao? Didn't you say he was still alive?" Emperor Fu asked with a frown.

He wanted He Jingyao to go to the Pacification Office to help the second prince.

He Zhiyuan replied: "If you want Yong Chao to release Jing Yao, there is one condition."

Emperor Fu frowned, "What conditions?"

"Kill the King of Zhenbei." He Zhiyuan had a blank expression on his face.

"Ha!" Emperor Fu laughed sarcastically, "This new emperor is so stupid."

He Zhiyuan looked at Emperor Fu with a cold gaze, "Your Majesty, I promised him that I would send someone to leak this news to Feng Chuanjin. When the brothers start fighting among themselves, the Yong Dynasty will surely be in chaos."

"Then it will be time for us to head north."

"Your Majesty, the Southern Dynasty has annexed the Yong Dynasty, and the opportunity to restore the former Great Jin Dynasty to unify the world has come."

Hundreds of years ago, the Yong Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty merged into the Jin Kingdom, but after years of fighting, it finally became the Yong Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty.

If there is civil strife in the Yong Dynasty, it will be an opportunity for the Southern Dynasty.

Emperor Fu was so excited by what he heard that he even saw a future where he would unify the world and become the common ruler.

He will become an existence like the Holy Emperor of Jin State, and his name will be forever engraved in the history books of future generations in the long river of history.

"Your Majesty." He Zhiyuan saw that Emperor Fu was already tempted, and said slowly, "If you want to annex Yong Dynasty, the female soldiers under the Queen's command must also go to war. They are also paid by the court, so naturally they must serve the court."

Emperor Fu nodded, "You are right, we must ask the Queen to hand over the tiger talisman of the women's military camp."

"Your Majesty is wise."

……

Shen Sui'an followed Fu Jinyuan into the palace early in the morning.

If eyes could poke a hole in a person, Fu Jinyuan would have several of them on his body.

They had just acted ridiculous yesterday afternoon, but at night, this guy was pestering her again. If she hadn't considered that she had to go to the palace to see the Queen today, she didn't know how many times he would make trouble before letting her go.

Fu Jinyuan squeezed Shen Sui'an's palm and asked, "Want it?"

"..." Shen Sui'an took a deep breath and pulled his hand back from his palm.

"You will sleep in the study tonight."

Fu Jinyuan smiled hoarsely, "Last night, it was clearly you who pestered me and refused to let go."

Shen Sui'an wanted to cover his ears, he couldn't listen any more.

He hooked her like that, with the water flowing, how could she not react?

"I won't tease you anymore." Fu Jinyuan said with a smile.

The palace gate was just in front of him. He sat up straight and returned to his usual solemn and clear appearance.

"Should we go and pay our respects to the Emperor first?" Shen Sui'an asked in a low voice.

"No need." Fu Jinyuan's eyes were deep, with a hint of coldness flowing in them.

After so long, Emperor Fu has never asked Chao Ge'er a single question, let alone reward him.

All the officials in the court could see that Emperor Fu did not like his eldest grandson, so when Chao Ge'er was one month old, most of the officials just sent people to deliver gifts, but no one went to Prince Chen's Palace.

Emperor Fu never had any expectations of his father, but always received more disappointment.

Fu Jinyuan and Shen Suian went to the Cining Palace first.

This was the second time that Empress Dowager Mu met Shen Sui'an. Last time, she was indifferent to Princess Chen and only asked Shen Sui'an to kowtow and pay her respects before sending her off.

Today, Shen Sui'an was finally allowed to follow Prince Chen into the palace.

"I have seen the portrait sent by Prince Chen, and the little grandson looks very good. Princess Chen, you have made a great contribution by giving birth to the eldest grandson. I will reward you handsomely." Empress Dowager Mu had kind eyes and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

The day after Chao Ge'er was born, she asked someone to send his birth date and horoscope to Wudaoshan.

A few days ago, Taoist Bu Xuanfeng finally replied.

Just four words: Son of the Stars.

Queen Mother Mu asked someone to inquire and found out that on the night Chao Ge'er was born, the stars were surrounding and connected, and at the moment of his birth, the morning star and the morning light were together.

This child, like his father, has an extremely good destiny.

Shen Sui'an had no idea what Queen Mother Mu was thinking, he just bowed politely to express his gratitude.

Next, Fu Jinyuan kept talking to the Queen Mother.

As he listened, Shen Sui'an noticed something was wrong.

The Queen Mother seemed to... like Fu Jinyuan very much. Even if he was obviously talking nonsense and flattering her, the Queen Mother would still laugh happily.

No wonder, nowadays the rumor in the palace is that the Queen Mother favors Prince Chen.

It's very obvious that you are biased.

"Okay, wait until the weather gets better, then bring the little grandson to visit me. You still have to go to the Queen's place, so go ahead." Empress Dowager Mu said with a smile.

Fu Jinyuan whispered, "Grandmother, next time your grandson takes a day off, I will take you out of the palace for a walk."

Queen Mother Mu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I haven't left the palace for many years."

Shen Sui'an covered his mouth and laughed.

"Princess Chen, what are you laughing at?" asked Queen Mother Mu.

"Grandmother, I have been married to Prince Chen for so long, but I have never seen him so gentle and well-behaved. Only in front of you does he show his true nature." Shen Sui'an said.

Queen Mother Mu looked at Prince Chen with a smile, "Of course, I am Prince Chen's grandmother."

"Grandmother, I am really touched. With your love and care, Your Highness. In the past..." Shen Sui'an gritted his teeth, "the sufferings in the past are not worth mentioning."

"Prince Chen was not loved by anyone in the Yong Dynasty before, right?" asked Queen Mother Mu with a frown.

Fu Jinyuan frowned, "There's no need to talk about the past."

"Yes, Grandmother, now we have you." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Queen Mother Mu looked at Prince Chen and knew that he was a child who did not like to complain. If he didn't say anything, couldn't she check it out?
