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

"Dad." Cheng Jiuyuan called out to him.

Cheng Zongyang turned around: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Jiuyuan walked forward slowly. Although he had a smile on his face, his aura should not be underestimated.

She stopped one step away from Cheng Zongyang and asked simply and clearly, "What benefit did King Rui promise you?"

Cheng Zongyang was startled and looked around.

"Come with me to the study!" Cheng Zongyang said and turned to walk towards the study.

Cheng Jiuyuan raised a mocking smile and followed.

When they arrived at the study, Cheng Zongyang asked coldly, "What are you yelling about?"

"Isn't it? Father, don't treat your daughter as a fool. You and I know what happened today very well. If today's matter really develops as your father planned, and it gets out, not only will your daughter be ruined, but the Cheng family will also have a bad reputation. Hasn't your father always advocated self-discipline and courtesy, and hasn't he cared most about the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why do you do such a thing?" Cheng Jiuyuan said this bluntly.

She had long given up hope in Cheng Zongyang as a father, and this time she was really angry. He had really let her see his shamelessness time and time again.

Cheng Zongyang felt a little embarrassed when his daughter pointed out his thoughts so bluntly.

"I am taking this action just for your sake and the Prime Minister's residence."

Cheng Jiuyuan laughed sarcastically: "Father, are you so sure that Prince Rui can win?"

"Father knows that you are a little clever, but there are many things you don't know. I also know that the King of Chen is not as simple as he seems, but no matter what, he can't win."

"Is father so sure?"

"Let me tell you straight, Prince Rui has accumulated a good reputation over the years, which is not comparable to Prince Chen. His ability is obvious to the people and court officials. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Shangguan family will now become the second Wei family!"

Cheng Jiuyuan frowned, "What does father mean by this?"

"Ge Yu, who is in charge of the Black Armor Army, is King Rui's man!"

Cheng Jiuyuan was silent for a moment, "So, this is why father stands on the side of King Rui?"

"Of course, Prince Rui now has the support of the people and the military power. These are the two most powerful things in the fight for the throne. Prince Chen cannot win. I am your father, so I naturally wish you the best. Prince Rui told me the truth, he has you in his heart. He promised me that if he becomes emperor, you will be the queen."

"It seems that father is determined to follow King Rui."

"Dad, this is also for..."

"No need to say more. I don't want to interfere with your choice of who you want to follow. So don't interfere with me, and don't try to take advantage of me. If something like this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

This was the first time that Cheng Jiuyuan took off her disguise in front of her father, and Cheng Zongyang's eyes widened in shock.

When he came to his senses, he instantly became furious.

"Asshole! I'm your father, what's your attitude?"

"As a father, you should act like a father. Which of everything you do is worthy of respect?" There was no warmth in Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes. What happened today was truly disgusting.

Cheng Zongyang slammed his palm on the desk: "Do you think that I dare not do anything to you because you have the Prince of Chen behind you? Don't forget, no matter what, you are also my daughter, Cheng Zongyang. Since ancient times, children's marriage is a major event, and parents' orders and matchmakers' words..."

"My marriage to Prince Chen was granted by His Majesty. Father, do you want to disobey the order?"

Cheng Zongyang pointed at Cheng Jiuyuan, his hands shaking, "Asshole, you you..."

The door was pushed open and Lin came rushing over after hearing the news.

"What happened? Wasn't he fine just now?"

Cheng Zongyang slapped the table and sat down angrily.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him coldly: "That's all I have to say. If something like this happens again, I will not show any mercy."

After Cheng Jiuyuan finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

"Unsympathetic? What? What else do you dare to do? You rebellious girl!" Cheng Zongyang grabbed the teacup and threw it towards the door.

The teacup shattered into pieces behind Cheng Jiuyuan, and Cheng Jiuyuan left without looking back.

Lin hurried forward: "Hey, what are you doing? Why are you so angry?"

"Didn't you see the attitude of that rebellious girl just now? I think we have been too accommodating to her recently, causing her to forget that her last name is Cheng!"

"Yuan'er has always been gentle and polite. What could have made her so angry?"

Cheng Zongyang moved his lips but ultimately said nothing.

It's indeed not a pleasant thing to say, but he did it for the good of the Cheng family.

Cheng Jiuyuan came out of the study and did not return to the courtyard. Instead, she took two maids to Prince Chen's Mansion.

"Second Miss Cheng, please come in!" Shan Lan personally led Cheng Jiuyuan to the outside of the study.

"Thank you." Cheng Jiuyuan nodded slightly and entered the study.

Chu Heng was sitting behind the desk, writing something with a pen. When he heard the voice, he looked up, put down the pen and stood up instantly, with a smile on his face.

"Yuan'er."

The two of them sat at the table, the maid served them tea and snacks, and then left.

"How come you have time to come to my house today?"

"Your Highness, do you know that Ge Yu, who took over the Black Armor Army, is actually King Rui's man?" Cheng Jiuyuan said straight to the point.

Chi Zhang and Shan Lan were both shocked.

Shan Lan said with a serious face: "Your Highness, King Rui has been placing his own people in the Wei Family Army over the years. Now that the Wei Family has fallen, if the current Black Armor Army really becomes King Rui's power, then this matter will be difficult to deal with, unless we can have an army that can compete with the Black Armor Army."

"No wonder Jiang Xiubai wanted to rush back."

Chu Heng tapped his fingertips on the teacup. "Ge Yucai has taken over the Xuanjia Army, and Jiang Xiubai has also rushed back in time. It's still uncertain who will win."

"I will secretly help Jiang Xiubai take control of the Black Armor Army as soon as possible."

……

The night is warm and the sky is dotted with stars, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet night.

"Your Majesty, please take a rest." Eunuch Quan poured Emperor Zhaolie a cup of tea and advised him in a low voice.

"I don't have much time left. I have to deal with all these messes before I can hand everything over to Old Five." After saying that, he suppressed his cough a few times.

"But you have just recovered from the poison. You need to rest well, otherwise..."

"I don't have time anymore. I want to spend some time in Jiangnan and revisit the places I visited with Nanyin."

Eunuch Quan sighed silently and could only walk over and close the window to prevent the night wind from blowing in.

For two months, Emperor Zhaolie was busy day and night, and finally sorted out the series of troubles left by the Wei family.

In the following days, Emperor Zhaolie often summoned Chu Heng to the palace. Chu Heng stayed in the imperial study for the whole day and had no time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
