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

After leaving the palace, Cheng Jiuyuan did not return to the Prime Minister's Residence, but went to Wuying Hall.

Afterwards, he returned to the prime minister's residence, took the token and a large amount of silver bills, and visited more than a dozen gangs of all sizes in the underworld.

Although I have the favor from my master, after all, so many years have passed. With the money, it will be easier to get things done.

She wrote several more letters and sent them to the homes of court officials with whom she was on good terms.

For a time, people in the court and underworld were secretly looking for the two elders of the Pei family.

Everything that happened last night, Cheng Jiuyuan arrived at Pei Mansion.

In the study, Pei Xuan and Pei Jin both had serious expressions and the atmosphere was tense. They were obviously discussing the disappearance of the two elders of the Pei family.

When Pei Jin saw Cheng Jiuyuan coming in, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Cousin, is there any news?"

Cheng Jiuyuan walked over, drank a glass of water, and shook his head.

Pei Xuan saw her like this and knew that she must have traveled a lot. He poured her a cup of tea and comforted her, "I have already sent letters to my father and second brother. They will be back soon. I also asked Pei's friends in the business world to inquire. We can't panic. We need to be patient and wait."

"This damn Cheng Zongyang..." Thinking that Cheng Zongyang was his cousin's biological father, Pei Jin stopped talking immediately.

Suddenly her eyes lit up, "Can we check from Cheng Zongyang?"

Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head: "Chu Ze is so confident this time, he must have hidden his grandparents in a very secret place, Cheng Zongyang definitely doesn't know about it."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Pei Xuan and said, "Cousin, you guys should be careful recently, as well as your uncle and aunt. As for grandpa and the others, don't worry too much. I believe there will be news soon."

The power of the underworld should not be underestimated. It is only a matter of time before we find my grandfather.

Don’t let the time come when we rescue our grandparents and the rest of the Pei family fall into Chu Ze’s hands.

After giving some instructions, Cheng Jiuyuan left Pei Mansion.

Cheng Jiuyuan was walking on the street when suddenly a little girl came towards her holding a box.

"Sister, this is something a young master asked me to give you."

Cheng Jiuyuan took the box and the little girl jumped away.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious.

She opened the box and her face changed immediately.

There was a golden hairpin lying quietly in the box, with blood stains on the top of the hairpin.

Cheng Jiuyuan recognized that this golden hairpin belonged to her grandmother.

She picked up the hairpin and sniffed it. The blood was not human blood, but chicken blood.

Obviously, this is a warning.

There was also a note in the box: Stay in the Prime Minister's Residence, otherwise...

Cheng Jiuyuan snorted in her heart. Anyway, she had finished what she needed to do. The next step was to wait for news. Since they wanted her to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion so much, then she would go back.

Back at the Xiangfu, not long after Cheng Jiuyuan returned to her own courtyard, Mu Jin came in and said, "Miss, Prince Chen is in front of the mansion gate and has been stopped by the master."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and walked outside. Before she reached the gate, she heard Cheng Zongyang's voice.

"Your Majesty, my daughter has caught a cold and is not suitable for entertaining guests. Your Highness, please go back."

"That's strange. Yuan'er was fine this morning. Besides, my fiancée is not feeling well, so I have to see her with my own eyes to feel at ease."

"Your Highness, please return. I..."

Before Cheng Zongyang could finish, Chu Heng looked behind him and called out, "Yuan'er."

Cheng Zongyang turned around and saw Cheng Jiuyuan slowly walking towards him.

He just felt the wound on his arm aching again.

"I'm already in the prime minister's residence. If you continue to push your luck, I'll see if you can bear the consequences." Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Cheng Zongyang expressionlessly, his voice cold.

Cheng Zongyang felt so humiliated that he couldn't even act like a father in front of his daughter.

Before, he had boasted in front of King Rui that Cheng Jiuyuan was filial and obedient, and that she would listen to everything he said.

After what happened in the morning, he didn't dare to provoke Cheng Jiuyuan again. He just wanted her to stay in the mansion.

Chu Heng still followed Cheng Jiuyuan into Feiyuan Pavilion.

Cheng Jiuyuan asked: "What's the situation in the palace?"

"My father is indeed in a coma. The initial diagnosis is that he was poisoned, and it was a strong poison. The person who poisoned him didn't want him to continue living. Fortunately, the medicine you gave him stabilized his condition, but the situation is still not optimistic."

Cheng Jiuyuan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't treat the emperor now..."

Chu Heng interrupted her and said, "I already know about the situation of the two elders of the Pei family. Don't worry. I have already sent people out. I believe there will be news soon."

"Your Majesty, if you take my medicine, you will be safe for at least seven days. I will rescue my grandfather and the others as soon as possible."

Cheng Jiuyuan has countless spies around her, and her every move is related to the safety of the two elders of the Pei family, so she really dare not take any risks.

We can only rescue the two elders of the Pei family first, and then wake up the emperor.

"I feel very uneasy. I always feel that Chu Ze has a backup plan." Cheng Jiuyuan frowned.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. We still have a final way out."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Heng curiously, but Chu Heng said nothing more.

No one would believe this, but in the prophet's dream, his fiefdom, Liping, seemed poor and remote, but in fact it was rich in iron and gold, and had a large population. If he planned and managed it well, it would be a treasure land full of treasures.

That's why in his dream, he was able to quickly form an invincible army, return to the capital, and execute Chu Ze and Cheng Yunge by slicing.

……

The emperor was in a coma, and during the morning court session, the dragon throne was empty.

Today's morning court was convened by several royal family members and cabinet ministers.

"The emperor is in a coma, and the country cannot stand a single ruler for a day. I propose that His Royal Highness Prince Rui take over the government temporarily."

"Bullshit, if anyone is going to take over temporarily, it should be Prince Chen."

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui's talents are obvious to all. He is older than Prince Chen, so he should be Prince Rui."

"The emperor has been asking Prince Chen to go to the imperial study room to help with state affairs. This is very clear. Besides, Prince Chen is the second son of Empress Yuhe."

In the end, the two factions argued endlessly in the court over the eternal issue of whether to establish the eldest son as the heir.

At this moment, King Gaoyang, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up.

He is the cousin of Emperor Zhaolie, so his words carry some weight.

"You don't need to argue. My brother knows that his health is getting worse day by day. Just in case, he has already issued an order."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and their eyes fell on King Gaoyang.

King Gaoyang took out an imperial edict and slowly unfolded it.

Hundreds of officials knelt on the ground one after another, except Chu Heng and several key figures of Chu Heng's faction.

Chu Heng knew that his father would not issue any decree.

"Fifth brother, do you want to disobey the order?" Chu Ze turned his head to look at Chu Heng.

Chu Ze was so confident even though he knew there was something wrong with the imperial edict. That meant there must be no flaws in the edict.

No one can bear the charge of disobeying the emperor's order.

Minister Mu advised quietly: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive."

Chu Heng knelt beside Chu Ze with an expressionless face, and Minister Mu and others followed suit.

"I have been entrusted with the throne by the Emperor of Heaven for thirty-three years. I have worked day and night to achieve perfection..."

"Life and death are common sense, and are inevitable for people from ancient times to the present. Fortunately, I have found a successor, so there is nothing to regret."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

This is the will!

The emperor's favor towards Prince Rui was unique.

But in the past few months, Prince Chen has stood out, and the Emperor's affirmation of Prince Chen is obvious to all.

It is hard to say who this will is for.

The corners of Chu Ze's lips curled up slightly, and he turned his head to glance at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng looked at him, his face tense.

King Gaoyang stopped reading here, looked around, exchanged a glance with Chu Ze, then fixed his gaze on the will and continued reading.
