The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

The next morning, Lin came to Feiyuan Pavilion again.

When she saw that Cheng Jiuyuan's face had regained some color and he was able to stand up, she immediately sighed that the Fifth Prince's medicine was truly effective.

These days, Lin came to Feiyuan Pavilion several times a day and sent all kinds of good things to her, which made Cheng Jiuyuan feel a little guilty.

"As a daughter, I should go and pay my respects to my mother, but now my mother comes here early every morning."

"I didn't ask you to pay your respects when you were well. Now that you are injured, should I ask you to pay your respects? Besides, you got this injury for me."

As they were talking, Mu Jin came in and said that the Fifth Prince had arrived.

The smile on Lin's face deepened.

"You see, the prince got married a few days ago, so Your Highness was not free. Now that he is free, he came here early in the morning. Then you guys chat, I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out with Nanny Wang.

After a while, Chu Heng came in. Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, his complexion also looked better.

Mu Jin and the other maids arranged the tea and snacks and tactfully left the room.

Chu Heng stepped forward, put his hand on her wrist, and began to take her pulse.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him with a very natural expression and realized that she was the only one who was troubled.

After a while, Chu Heng withdrew his hand and looked at her.

"You need to rest for two days."

Cheng Jiuyuan said with a smile: "Even if you sent me a miracle drug, I can't make myself fully healed all at once. Don't worry, I am a doctor myself."

Chu Heng sat opposite her and said, "I just passed by the downtown area and saw a group of people from Northern Qi leaving the capital."

"So early?"

The prince got married yesterday and left the capital early this morning.

Chu Heng took a sip of tea leisurely, then looked up at him with a smile in his eyes.

"The scene you personally arranged made him lose all face. I heard that he went back to the inn and soaked in the water for most of the night."

Cheng Jiuyuan burst out laughing.

She naturally knew the reason.

From an outsider's perspective, although that scene was somewhat embarrassing, it was also a blessing in disguise.

But for Qi Zhen, he wished he could just scrape off that layer of skin from his own body.

Qi Zhen likes to collect beauties, and in her previous life she also thought that he liked beauty.

When she went to Northern Qi, she found that this was not the case.

In her previous life, when she went to Northern Qi, the Epiphyllum beauty poison had not yet taken effect, and she was considered to have a good appearance.

But in Qi Zhen's eyes, these are sins.

He enjoys torturing beautiful women.

After all, she went to Dongling to marry a foreign prince, and Qi Zhen couldn't take her life in such a short time.

In a way, she was luckier than those beauties. She was not set on fire or died by being combed like those beauties.

But her life was not easy either.

The method he used most often to torture her was to ask her to make tea.

She made tea for him with her bare hands for a whole year, using a kettle of boiling water without a handle.

The skin on my hands got burned, ulcerated, then healed with the best medicine, then burned again... and so on over and over again.

Later, one time, she couldn't bear the pain anymore and pulled his sleeve to beg for mercy.

She didn't know that he never let women get close to him.

She committed a big taboo that time, and Qi Zhen went crazy instantly.

He cut her dozens of times, and the ground was covered with blood.

She was really lucky at that time.

She managed to get through it all by thinking about Chu Ze.

Later, she accidentally pieced together a horrifying truth from a crazy old lady and Qi Zhen's mumbling during an afternoon nap.

Qi Zhen is not a descendant of the Northern Qi emperor, and Qi Zhen’s biological mother may have died at Qi Zhen’s hands.

These things may have led to the distortion of his character.

"You don't seem surprised by this?" Chu Heng looked at her inquiringly.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. I asked you to come here today because I have something important to discuss with you."

"You say." Chu Heng took a sip of tea and looked at her quietly.

"There are two enemies, but with our current capabilities, we cannot fight them all at once. We must defeat them one by one."

"The Wei family seems to be more powerful, but if combined with the power of King Rui, they can also compete with them. I think our target is the Wei family first, and then King Rui."

The reason why he was not mentioned as the crown prince was that with the Wei family fallen, the crown prince was just a toothless tiger and was nothing to be feared.

Chu Heng nodded, "I agree with this. The Wei family is indeed difficult to move. Almost all the generals available in the court are from the Wei family. If we want to move against the Wei family, now is the best time."

"That's right. The Fourth Princess is marrying into Northern Qi. Northern Qi will not provoke us at Dongling at this time, no matter what the reason. If something happens to the Wei family, the people in the border areas will not suffer."

"But it's not that easy to attack the Wei family."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled his lips and smiled: "Let them mess up their positions, and let your people speak for King Rui more during this period of time and pretend to surrender to King Rui."

"They are not my people, they are our people." Chu Heng corrected seriously, "I know that Master Zhu, Minister Mu, and General Lin are on my side because of you."

"It's my fault, but the most fundamental reason is that they believe Your Highness is more qualified for the position than the other two. Otherwise, they wouldn't risk the lives of their entire clan to follow Your Highness."

Chu Heng tapped the porcelain cup with his fingertips, with a faint smile on his face: "Let's get back to the point. From what you said just now, you want to make the prince's faction jump up and down."

"Now the prince's faction thinks that after the marriage with Northern Qi, the prince's position is unbreakable. But if the originally neutral court officials turn to Prince Rui at this time, and the emperor deliberately favors him, the prince's faction will definitely be thrown into disarray, and we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Do you think my father will cooperate with us?"

Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly looked at Chu Heng seriously: "The emperor's heart is hard to predict, but I think that the emperor is not interested in the prince. If he really wanted to be interested in the prince, Prince Rui would have been powerless to fight back after so many years."

With the power of the Wei family, if it weren't for the protection and support of the emperor, Chu Ze would have been no match for the prince long ago.

Chu Heng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cheng Jiuyuan continued, "Even if His Majesty doesn't have this intention, we can make the Crown Prince feel that His Majesty does have the intention of having another heir."

After Cheng Jiuyuan finished speaking, seeing that Chu Heng did not respond for a long time, she asked curiously, "Your Highness?"

Chu Heng raised his head, his expression normal.

"I'll give orders on this matter."

Cheng Jiuyuan was such a smart person that he immediately discovered the problem.

"Your Highness, I just said that I think His Majesty is not interested in the Crown Prince. Who do you think is the real candidate in His Majesty's mind?"

Only Cheng Jiuyuan dared to ask this question.

Chu Heng looked over suddenly, his eyes becoming darker than before.

"What do you think?"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him straight without any hesitation.

After a while, Chu Heng withdrew his gaze, took a sip of tea, then put the teacup on the table and stood up.

"The Ministry of Personnel still has things to do, so I'll go over first." After saying that, he walked out.

When they arrived outside the prime minister's residence, Chi Zhang led the horse over.

He took the reins and climbed onto the horse.

The sound of horse hooves rang out in the alley, and Cheng Jiuyuan's voice rang in my ears again.

"Who is the real candidate in His Majesty's mind?"

who?

He always knew who his choice was.

Before, he didn't want it.

But now, he wants it!

Why doesn't he want it?

That was what he owed to his mother and his elder brother.

That position should have belonged to the emperor's elder brother. His elder brother's things were taken away by someone, so why didn't he take them back?

Since he wants to make amends, then he can continue!
