The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

Mrs. Wang looked at Mother Jiang's stubborn look and said with a smile, "Madam, you don't even look down on our General's Mansion, so who else do you want to climb up to?"

Mother Jiang looked at the talented young man below and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang is good, but Madam is right. We won't climb such a high branch as yours..."

Mrs. Wang was embarrassed. After she stood up and walked away, a noblewoman beside her said, "Madam, although Ji Kang has retired, the eldest son of the Ji family is still a general guarding the border. It's not right to say everything..."

Madam Wang touched the gold and emerald pearl hairpin on her head and smiled nonchalantly, "Without the title of Prime Minister, how can a young general's contribution be greater than our Protector of the Nation General's Mansion?"

"Yes, yes, that's what ma'am said."

Pull up the curtain beads and win the first prize.

Ning Rongzhang placed the hydrangea in front of him, holding the reins and walking back slowly. His long fingers were slightly bent, and what he grabbed was not a hydrangea, but the hearts of all the girls in Kyoto.

Ji Mengshu looked at his peacock-like appearance and said disdainfully, "You are so showy!"

Qing Zhu stared at the handsome figure and said infatuatedly, "It is said in Kyoto that the Regent King is a man of heaven. I didn't think so before, but after seeing him today, I can see that he is truly unrivaled in heaven and on earth."

Ji Mengshu: …

The sun was rising slowly and was scorching hot, baking the earth. Many people left the field. Although it was a pity that they did not win the first prize, they still got to show their faces in front of the women from the noble families.

After a horse race ended, Ji Mengshu pounded her sore shoulders and said, "It's finally over..." She would definitely not attend such a horse race again.

After everyone dispersed, Ning Rongzhang followed behind, deliberately keeping a distance, as if he came just to join in the fun of the Jockey Club.

After returning to the palace, the secret guards in the palace immediately sent a secret letter to him, "Master, something happened!"

Ning Rongzhang frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

The secret guard said, "The court has not yet cleared out the remnants of evil, and someone sent a letter to the palace, but the royal family has a special channel. I only hijacked the letter, but I don't know the content of it."

The confidential letter is presented.

Ning Rongzhang opened it and saw only a series of strange symbols inside.

Anyone who is chosen as the royal heir knows the meaning of this, and only the emperor and the crown prince know it.

Ning Rongzhang held the letter in his hand and said, "Keep a close eye on the people in the palace. The people who deliver meals every day need to be replaced to prevent any accidents."

evening.

In a courtyard as calm as ancient water, a person lies on a bamboo chair. The night is as cool as water, but her mood is turbulent.

First he was rejected at the Regent's Palace, and then Ning Rongzhang came to the Jockey Club. What exactly does he want to do?

What are you talking about? Begging him?

Hongye took out a soft blanket from the house and covered her with it, "Girl, be careful not to catch a cold..."

The master and servant were playing and joking, when they saw a figure passing by the courtyard wall. Hongye was about to call for help when she suddenly saw that the person was the Regent.

He bowed to Ji Mengshu and withdrew tactfully.

"How did you come?"

He came against the moonlight, his tall and graceful figure set off by his black brocade robe. With his hands behind his back and turning sideways, one could see a handsome face with unclear light and dark.

"I asked someone to think of something to ask me for a favor a few days ago. Have you thought of it yet?"

Ning Rongzhang stopped five steps away, looking as if he could disappear at any time. Ji Mengshu leaned forward slightly and said, "Your Highness said he was busy that day, but he went to the Jockey Club the other day. How come he is not busy anymore? And do you know what I want?"

Ning Rongzhang automatically ignored the previous question and said, "Tell me about it first."

"I want you to let go of the concubines in the harem."

Their eyes met, and she could even see the depth and darkness in his eyes, as if he was suppressing something. It was so hazy that there was only a layer of fog outside, and even Ji Mengshu was not allowed to peek.

"The emperor is still alive. How do you want me to make the decision to let the harem and others go?"

Ji Mengshu thought to himself, aren't you the regent? With such great power that he could directly issue orders without the emperor's permission, and put the empress dowager and the emperor under house arrest in the palace, Ji Mengshu felt that it shouldn't be difficult to release the concubines in the harem.

From what he said, it seemed that he would not help. Ji Mengshu did not want to make trouble for herself. At worst, she would wait for her brother to come back and ask the Regent for a reward after he made military achievements. She did not believe that he would reject her brother's wishes.

There was no point in talking to each other, so after respectfully seeing the person off, Ji Mengshu went to sleep.

Far away in Kyoto, he was well-informed about the news. It was several days later that he heard about the war in the north.

My brother is fighting again.

I heard that the barbarians have joined forces with the Luanzhou tribe in the west to attack Dali. I don't know if you can hold out.

"Hey——" I don't know how many sighs were heard, Hongye comforted, "Young Master, you are a lucky person, nothing will happen to you..."

Every time the young master went to war, her girl would stay in the mansion, sighing all day long and even eating less.

Ji Mengshu pinched the petals, feeling very depressed. Hopefully.

Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. After only a few days, news came from the border that our army was defeated at Yinhui Mountain, and our commander Ji Yuan was falling off a cliff, with his life or death unknown.

The porcelain teacup in his hand shattered to the ground. He asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Qing Zhu could only reply with a choked voice, "Miss, our Master is missing!"

The carriage hurriedly rushed towards the Regent's Palace. Before the footstool was put down, Ji Mengshu rushed out and jumped off.

The two guards at the door only felt a person passing by like a gust of wind, followed by two maids hurriedly following behind him.

The woman in front had tears in her eyes. Her brother had been on the battlefield for so many years and had never been missing. Huge tears fell from her eyes. All she wanted in her life was for her family to be safe. How could she not even have such a small wish come true?

Ning Rongzhang seemed to have known that she was coming and had been waiting outside. When he saw her running towards him in a daze, his brows furrowed and his heart suddenly tightened.

"What's going on? What's wrong with you, brother?!" Ji Mengshu stopped in front of him, his eyes red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"General Ji...disappeared in Yinhui Mountain. We have sent people to look for him. Please wait a little longer..."

All the consolation seems pale and powerless. When faced with life and death, perhaps people can only obey God's will.

"Didn't you say that with the support of King Dongzhi, it would be easy to go to the border to fight?" She was too naive and believed his words. Now her brother is nowhere to be found, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead.

Ning Rongzhang reached out and wanted to pat her shoulder, but she dodged back fiercely, "Ning Rongzhang, if anything happens to my brother, I will never let you go!"

Turning around and walking out without looking back, Hongye and Qingzhu could only hurriedly salute Ning Rongzhang, who had an extremely gloomy expression, and turn around to chase their girls.
