The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

River Song is dead.

The reason the outside world knew about it was that Song He's godson Fu'an secretly told the Queen the truth about the Crown Prince's death.

Emperor Zhenguang was furious and had Song He strangled that night.

It was already the next day when Empress Xian learned about this.

She is now pregnant.

At this age, and this is her third child, Empress Xian took countless medicines before she finally got pregnant with this baby. Therefore, this pregnancy was more difficult for her than when she was pregnant with Gu Changxuan and Gu Jiarou.

She is now more than four months pregnant.

She had never felt the discomfort of pregnancy before, but this time she felt it all.

It was as if he was born to go against her.

Concubine Xian suffered from morning sickness at the beginning. She vomited everything she ate. Later, she couldn't sleep at night and had no energy during the day. Now the morning sickness reaction has finally improved, but it has been followed by drowsiness.

Often, she would feel sleepy as soon as it got dark and could sleep until the next morning.

I have to continue sleeping at noon.

After sleeping for too long, Empress Xian felt not only dizzy but also had backaches and waist pains. She felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Get up this day.

Empress Xian was helped to wash up.

While having breakfast, she noticed that something was wrong with Rong Yu. Not only did he look dazed, but he was also not doing things carefully. He was serving the soup properly, but he didn't know what he was looking at, and more than half of the soup in his hand spilled out.

Empress Xian has not been in a good mood recently due to her health.

Not as tolerant as before, and loses temper easily.

But facing this personal maid who had followed her since childhood, Empress Xian still controlled her temper and did not get angry immediately. She only spoke in a noticeably deeper voice and her expression was also calm.

"What are you thinking about? If you didn't sleep well, go down and rest."

When Rong Yu heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

When I looked again, the table was wet.

Her expression changed slightly and she said quickly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!" As she spoke, Rong Yu put down the things in her hands and took a handkerchief to wipe the table.

As a result of her doing this, Empress Xian's appetite, which had already been low to begin with, was completely gone.

She pinched her brows and asked, "What happened?"

Rong Yu looked hesitant.

Knowing that the queen was worried recently, she didn't want to bother her by telling her about these things.

But she thought that this matter could not be concealed for long, and the queen would find out eventually, it was just a matter of time. She hesitated, but still lowered her voice and said to the others: "Queen, Song Zhangyin is dead."

The hand that was placed between the eyebrows suddenly stopped.

Empress Xian slowly raised her eyelids and aligned her gaze with Rong Yu's.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and she stared at Rong Yu blankly. After a while, she finally spoke: "...What's going on?"

"How did he die?"

It was like listening to a fairy tale, and Empress Xian almost thought she was dreaming.

Rong Yu lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "I heard from outside that the death of the prince is related to Master Song."

Empress Xian had known about this for a long time.

But the question is, where is the evidence to prove that it is related to Song He? Based on her understanding of Song He, this man would never leave any handle for gossip.

He always does things carefully.

Never let anything get involved with him.

Even if we check his side, we won't be able to find out anything.

Otherwise, Song He would have died countless times over the years.

Rong Yu added: "It was Fu An who went to tell the Queen personally about the secret."

When Empress Xian heard this, she frowned even more.

She didn't say anything, but she felt that this was impossible.

It’s not that I think they have a deep father-son relationship, Fu’an will not betray Song He.

But Song He, that thousand-year-old fox, would never get involved in these things personally, so naturally there would be no evidence to prove that he did it.

And Song He’s godsons.

Unless one knows that Song He is truly beyond saving, who would dare to offend him easily?

Or this always cautious Fu An...

She always felt that something was wrong. After concentrating on thinking for a while, she frowned and asked Rong Yu: "What else happened last night?"

Since Rong Yu had already spoken, there was no need to hide it anymore.

She told Concubine Xian clearly about the whole series of events, including Prince Chang'an entering the palace last night, His Majesty summoning Song the Seal Holder, and then the Empress personally leading Fu'an to Chongming Palace to confront Song He...

"King Chang'an..."

Empress Xian whispered softly.

Although Gu Mingheng was indeed very capable, Concubine Xian still felt that it was impossible for him to find evidence that Song He killed Gu Changze.

There must be something else going on.

But what exactly was that thing?

Empress Xian racked her brains but couldn't think of a solution, so she gave up in the end.

It’s better that Song He is dead.

If she died, she would no longer be controlled by others, and Chang Xuan would not be controlled by Song He in the future.

Think so.

Empress Xian also breathed a sigh of relief.

I even felt like I had seen the light of day again, and even my appetite returned.

"This matter has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to worry about it." After thinking for a while, Empress Xian asked again, "Who is in charge of the Imperial Household Department now?"

Rong Yu shook his head: "Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet."

After hearing her say this, Empress Xian said nothing more.

The most important thing for her now is to take good care of the fetus and give birth to the child safely. As for the rest, she will leave it to Yue Qing.

She had asked a midwife who specialized in delivering babies before.

The midwife said that this baby should be a girl.

Although she originally conceived this child so that her son would have the opportunity to return from the fiefdom openly.

But after learning that the child was a daughter, Empress Xian really took her to heart.

She always felt that An Cheng came back to see her.

Just thinking about this, her heart was filled with joy. She just wanted to take good care of her body and wait for her to come out so that she and her daughter could meet again.

This time, she will definitely love her well!

She gave her whatever she wanted and never argued with her again.

She would make up to her double for all that was owed to her in the past.

……

Three days after Song He's death.

Fu'an became the new head of the Imperial Household Department.

But after the incident with Song He, Emperor Zhenguang finally began to feel afraid of this eunuch group. It was impossible for the Imperial Household Department to be as powerful as it was when Song He was there.

Emperor Zhenguang was afraid that they would become too powerful and the situation like when Song He was alive would happen again, so he even divided the palm seals into left and right ones.

Fu'an is on the left.

As for the right palm seal, unexpectedly, it was assigned to Shengxing, the former eunuch in charge of writing.

Fuan and Shengxing jointly managed the Silijian.

Fu'an was soft-hearted that day and failed to resolve Shengxing's problem in time, which ultimately left hidden dangers for himself.

Shengxing was originally the smallest among all the brothers.

But it is the most likely to cause trouble.

Ever since he was promoted by His Majesty, he has never listened to him again and even refuted his opinions many times.

As for his other brothers, they no longer listen to him as much as before.

After godfather died.

Everyone began to have their own plans for success.

In fact, there were such cases in the past, but they had godfathers putting pressure on them, so they naturally didn’t dare to do anything.

Now my godfather is gone.

This is just a pile of loose sand, how can it come together after being hit by the water?

For a time, the power of the Silijian was dispersed and they became chaotic internally.

However, this is also the outcome that Emperor Zhenguang wanted to see.

He wanted the Imperial Household Department to serve him, but he did not want them to be too united so that one person would become too powerful and do something to deceive him.

As for the fate of the Yuan family——

Yuan Hun's death cleared Gu Changze's name after his death.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, at least Gu Changze's reputation of treason has been cleared a lot.

Nowadays, when other people talk about the late prince, they would at most say that he was deceived and that Song He poisoned him. As for the late prince, most people in the streets feel sorry for him and pity him.

The Yuan family was eventually released.

But after experiencing such an incident, it is obviously impossible for the Yuan family to be reused again.

Old Master Yuan plans to take his family back to his hometown in Yingzhou.

The two brothers Yuan Yu and Yuan Ci also submitted their resignation letters, and Emperor Zhenguang approved them without saying anything.

The day the Yuan family left was already early July.

Almost a month has passed since Mingjin and Gu Mingheng returned to Beijing.

This day.

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng saw the Yuan family off at the city gate.

Although Your Majesty pardoned the Yuan family.

But after all, it is different from the past. Today, besides Mingjin and Gu Mingheng and his wife, the only ones who came to see her off were the fifth prince Gu Changye and Xu Zhaojun's family.

Mrs. Yuan’s parents would like to come.

But the previous imprisonment had already broken Mrs. Yuan's heart.

After she was imprisoned this time, she refused to meet people from her parents' family. This time when she left, she didn't even notify them.

Her parents' home broke her heart.

Her loving husband also died.

Mrs. Yuan was dressed in mourning clothes, looking haggard and not as talkative as before. She greeted Mingjin and the others, then silently took her granddaughter to the carriage.

Gu Mingheng was talking to the two brothers Yuan Ci and Yuan Yu on the side.

Ming Jin was talking to Xu Zhaojun on the other side.

This place was still the same place where Mingjin and Gu Mingheng left, except that the people who sent them off and those who left had changed.

So much has happened in just over a year.

Even the people who saw him off in the past are no longer together.

Maybe it’s due to my state of mind.

It is not autumn yet, but it gives people a feeling of desolation.

Can't bear to think too much.

I dare not think too much.

"I will write to you to let you know I am safe when I arrive in Yingzhou," Xu Zhaojun said to Mingjin.

After she finished speaking, seeing Ming Jin's silence, Xu Zhaojun smiled and comforted her: "It's good now. Compared with what we originally imagined, the current situation is much better."

As she spoke, she sincerely thanked Ming Jin again: "Yan Yan, I would like to thank you and the prince again this time."

At first Xu Zhaojun thought they were sure to die this time.

After all, the crime of treason is too serious.

Now that they can get out of prison and leave the capital safely, it is a blessing in disguise.

Just a father-in-law...

Thinking of her father-in-law, Xu Zhaojun felt uncomfortable again.

She has been married into the Yuan family for more than a year. Although she did not have much contact with her father-in-law, they were family after all. Now that her father-in-law is gone, how could she not be sad?

My father-in-law is wrong.

But sometimes, when you are in a certain position, it is impossible to really do everything as you wish.

Under the circumstances at the time, no matter which approach we took, it would have been wrong. There is no point in discussing this now.

"I can come back."
