The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

In the blink of an eye, it was already the twelfth lunar month. According to the capital relocation plan drawn up by Ling Moxiao in Chang'an, the first batch of personnel and supplies should have arrived.

But only officials from the Ministry of Industry came with some materials; the others had their own reasons, but the situation was delayed anyway.

At this time, Mo Xiujing's health had improved a lot. He once again asked Ling Moxiao to let him go to Chang'an to preside over the plan of moving the capital.

Ling Moxiao still refused and sent an order to the officials in charge to urge them to speed up the process.

Mo Xiujing secretly found Shen Dongsu, wanting her to persuade the prince that the powerful people in Chang'an were definitely secretly planning something in order to avoid moving the capital.

Leaving only Jia Si in Chang'an would be of no help at all. We also need to send someone with strong skills to Chang'an to preside over the relocation of the capital with a swift and resolute momentum.

Shen Dongsu chuckled and said, "Do you think the prince doesn't care about Qiandu? Or is he too indulgent towards the powerful people in Chang'an? Or does the prince despise them?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness has a plan in mind. How about this, if there is still no progress in moving the capital after the new year, I will persuade Your Highness to let you go to Chang'an."

At this time, Ling Moxiao was holding Dabao and standing in front of the world map, looking at the map carefully. He could not get enough of looking at this map even if he looked at it a thousand times.

Hearing Dong Su talking about Mo Xiujin's worries, Ling Moxiao said softly: "It seems that there will be a big show in Chang'an during the New Year."

Shen Dongsu looked at the secret letters and intelligence spread out on the desk. She guessed that Jia Si was already extremely worried at this moment. He must be looking forward to Brother Xiao Pan going to Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, are you still not going to close the net?"

Ling Moxiao chuckled and said, "Wait a little longer, we can catch all the fish in one net, it will save trouble."

Shen Dongsu turned his gaze to the letter with "the late crown prince" written on it, hoping that Zhang Chaoying could make the right choice.

Among the dignitaries in Chang'an, the only one she had a good impression of was the former Crown Princess Zhang Chaoying.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people started to cook Laba porridge early in the morning. Jia Si, who stayed in Chang'an, also bought a lot of rice and beans. The army also ate Laba porridge today.

Just as the rice and beans were put into the pot, the subordinates came to report:

"General Jia, Prime Minister Li has joined forces with Duke Su to support the son of the deposed crown prince as emperor. He has stopped the officials and supplies from being relocated, sealed off Chang'an City, and is leading his troops to besiege the Youzhou army."

Jia Si said calmly: "Then we have to meet Prime Minister Li and Duke Su."

Li Xiang is Li Linyu's father. He first deposed the prince's son, who is also Li Linyu's son. The crown princess Zhang Chaoying only gave birth to one daughter.

Ling Moxiao had known about Li Xiang's conspiracy for a long time. He returned to Youzhou early to give people in Chang'an a chance.

To kill a snake, you have to lure it out first.

These powerful people who were unwilling to move the capital either supported the son of the deposed emperor or the son of the deposed crown prince.

Before the deposed queen was deposed, she approached General Xie, hoping that he would support her son to become emperor and fight against Ling Moxiao. However, General Xie directly refused and asked her to go outside and see the situation in Chang'an clearly.

Do you want to live a peaceful life with your son? Or do you want to fight for the throne at all costs?

The deposed queen was blinded by the throne at the time, but when General Xie led his troops back to Liangzhou in a hurry, no matter how many people she sent to seek a meeting, General Xie rejected them on the grounds that the barbarians were causing trouble.

In other words, General Xie was determined not to go against Ling Moxiao. Even if she promised him the position of a powerful official second only to the emperor, he would not be moved.

When the deposed queen received news from outside that Prince Ling was going to move the capital, he used his own strength to intimidate all the dignitaries and officials in Chang'an, and even refused to obey the Empress Dowager's order.

Then she looked at her son who was already in poor health. He was only three years old and didn't understand anything. Only she, as his mother, could protect him.

Immediately, the deposed queen made up her mind that as long as Prince Ling did not intend to kill her, she would behave herself.

At the same time, she moved to Xishan with her children on the pretext of honoring the Empress Dowager.

Ling Moxiao was very pleased that she did not act up, and rewarded her with a lot of things. Although he did not give her son a title, he still recognized her son as a prince and a relative, so they could live safely.

Another woman with greater ambitions, Li Linyu, was not willing to live such a dull life all her life.

When her father approached her to plot, she agreed immediately without any hesitation.

Holding her son in her arms, she said happily, "In the future, my son will be the emperor, and I will be the empress dowager! Haha, the world will belong to us two."

Compared to the dethronement, the reason why Li Linyu agreed so readily was because she hated it!

She hated Zhang Chaoying. She should have been the crown prince's wife. If Zhang Chaoying hadn't been there, she would have been the crown prince's wife, and her son would have been the eldest grandson of the emperor. The late emperor wouldn't even have been willing to give him a name.

She hated Ling Moxiao, a hatred that was a distorted mixture of love and hate. After all, Ling Moxiao was once her fiancé, and it was she who took the initiative to break off the engagement after Ling Moxiao became disabled.

Then she chose the glorious crown prince. Even if she could be the crown prince's concubine, she was unwilling to go to the remote Gwangju to be the principal wife of Prince Ling.

But a few years later, the useless man she abandoned not only stood up, but also regained his glory, step by step trampling the prince into the mud, and now he holds all the power and the world belongs to him.

However, the prince she chose died in such a miserable way and was cursed after his death. Even her child's title was taken away.

How could she be willing to do this?

What she hated the most was Shen Dongsu. To Shen Dongsu, her hatred was inexplicable. Her own choices determined her life, but she regretted it to the point of becoming a psychopath.

But for Li Linyu, the person who should have stood beside Ling Moxiao, should have been the glorious Princess Ling, should have become the queen, was her!

And that lowly peasant girl actually dared to show off in front of her! Before, when she was in Chang'an, she had never looked at her straight in the eye.

After Shen Dongsu went to Youzhou, whenever Li Linyu heard from Chang'an that Princess Ling had done something big, she felt her face hurt.

They all thought Shen Dongsu did it on purpose to embarrass her. Especially when she attended the flower party and tea party of the noble ladies in Chang'an, those women would look at her with mocking eyes when they mentioned Princess Ling.

She was jealous to the point of going crazy, and hated him to the bone. Was she going to be compared to that lowly peasant girl for the rest of her life? Was she going to be trampled on by that bitch until her death?

And now, an opportunity is before her that will allow her to become the most noble woman in the world.

How could she not be willing to take revenge on Zhang Chaoying, Ling Moxiao, Shen Dongsu, and those Chang'an noble ladies who had mocked her?

Rather than living to death within these dead silent walls, it is better to fight for it with great fanfare!

She hugged her son and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make you the emperor! You won't blame me, right?"

On the day of Laba, Duke Su, who was in charge of the imperial guards, successfully sealed off the city of Chang'an, took over the imperial palace, and split his troops into two groups with Li Xiang.

Prime Minister Li took his men to the abandoned prince's mansion, which was surrounded by high walls, to bring Li Linyu and her son into the palace.

Duke Su launched a surprise attack on the Youzhou military camp. He had already found out that there were not many Youzhou troops left by Prince Ling.

Moreover, General Jia Si knew nothing about the situation in Chang'an. Apart from leading people to move things every day, he did not make friends with the powerful and wealthy, nor did he meet with officials in private.

Isn't this just a fool who only knows how to use force? Humph, in this old fox's den in Chang'an, you can die without knowing how you died!

Duke Suguo quickly won over some powerful people, especially those who were unwilling to move the capital. There were also some who were originally hesitant, but after reading the Youzhou Law, they joined the party that did not move the capital.

They secretly formed an alliance and made a plan, believing that they could succeed in the surprise attack.

Li Xiang successfully broke through the high wall and picked up Li Linyu and her son. He could have reached the palace quickly.

But Duke Suguo had not sent anyone to report back, and Li Linyu said that she had something else to do and would leave later.

Li Xiang knew what she was going to do and acquiesced to her action. He waited quietly in the living room, allowing Li Linyu and two guards to enter the backyard where the women lived.

Soon, Zhang Chaoying's angry voice came from the backyard: "Li Linyu, what do you want to do?"

Li Linyu raised her head and laughed: "You are such a fool, you are qualified to be the Crown Princess? What do you think I want to do? I want your life!"

Taking another look at the little girl in Zhang Chaoying's arms, she said viciously, "Don't worry, I will send you and your daughter off together."

Zhang Chaoying made a final struggle: "Li Linyu, Wan'er and Zhi'er are siblings from the same father. They are the prince's only flesh and blood. Do you have to be so ruthless?"

Li Linyu's son pulled his mother's skirt and cried:

"Mom, are you going to kill Sister Wan'er and Auntie? Didn't you say that you would take me out to play today? Can we take Sister Wan'er with us?"

Zhang Chaoying looked at Ling Zhi distressedly. This child was not like his mother at all. He was soft-hearted and timid. Li Linyu was really crazy to let such a young child experience such a scene.

Li Linyu sneered, "Zhang Chaoying, don't say you know nothing. You should have heard about the plans of my father and Duke Su."

"After my son ascends the throne, I will be the Queen Mother. But if you are alive, those old censors will definitely suggest that according to etiquette, you should also be the Queen Mother."

"Humph, you stole my husband's favor while the prince was alive, so should I leave you to snatch my son away?"

"I will take Zhier back to the palace today. You and your daughter will go to the underworld to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

To Li Linyu's surprise, Zhang Chaoying did not kneel down and beg for mercy, crying bitterly. How she wanted to see Zhang Chaoying kneeling in front of her!

This woman will act pretentiously as if she can't bend her spine.

Today, I will bend you! I still don't believe that you can still be so calm when the knife is on your daughter's neck?

Li Linyu waved his hand, and the two guards walked towards Zhang Chaoying with knives.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoying slowly raised his eyes and looked directly at Li Linyu: "This is your own choice, so don't regret it."

Li Linyu was stunned. What do you mean I shouldn't regret it? Would I regret killing you?

Suddenly, she saw two white lights flashing before her eyes, followed by a red light, and by the time she reacted.

Only two maids holding crossbows were seen, and the two crossbows killed the guards she brought with her.

Just as she was about to scream, two strong maids came forward and covered her mouth and nose. As for the maids and maids she brought with her, they had already been held hostage.

What's going on? Zhang Chaoying hasn't seen anyone since the death of the crown prince. How could she have such a master by her side?

Suddenly I remembered that not long ago, Wan'er was ill, and Zhang Chaoying gave a lot of valuables to the guards before inviting the imperial physician to see the case.

Imperial physician, Shen Dongsu has already had people in the Imperial Hospital.

There are female doctors in Youzhou City. I heard that there are powerful crossbow weapons in Youzhou City...

Putting the scattered clues together, Li Linyu looked towards the front yard in despair, Dad, we have all fallen into the trap!

That Jia Si is not an idiot who knows nothing! He has already set up a trap for us to fall into.

Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to shout before she was knocked unconscious and taken away by the nanny.

The maid said quickly, "The Crown Princess will take the two children and leave through the secret passage as planned. This girl will be handed over to General Jia for disposal."

Zhang Chaoying smiled sadly: "From now on, just call me Zhang."

She stepped forward, carried Zhier, who had fainted from fear, on her back, and took her daughter's hand, and quickly entered the secret room.

In the dark secret, Wan'er was very sensible. She didn't cry or scream in fear. She just asked softly, "Mom, will we be together forever in the future?"

Zhang Chaoying held her daughter's hand tightly and choked up, "Yes! Mom promises to protect my son for the rest of his life. From now on, we can live like normal people."

When she walked out of the secret passage, she saw an unexpected person, it was Jiang with her daughter.

He only brought two maids and a coachman, and was waiting for her in a large four-wheeled carriage.

The two women looked at each other, and everything was said without words. Mothers are strong, and for their children, they are braver than anyone else.

Jiang said quickly, "General Jia has arranged the route. We must leave Chang'an City and rush to Youzhou as soon as possible."

Zhang Chaoying nodded: "It is more convincing than anything else if I lead Zhier to surrender to Prince Ling."

She asked with some surprise: "You only took Bao'er with you, where are Liu Hou and the others?"

Jiang sneered, "They are just dreaming about the future with Duke Su! I tried to persuade him out of our relationship as husband and wife."

"But he refused to listen, believing that Prince Ling would suppress the powerful and wealthy after ascending the throne, and that there was no place for the powerful and wealthy to live in Youzhou."

"That's fine. We don't have to think about divorce."

Zhang Chaoying was touched by her carefree look and sighed:

"Yes, we women who can't divorce have finally broken free from our cage."
