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

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I hope Your Majesty will understand me!"

Her head was buzzing and her eyes were full of stars. Looking at Jiang's mother who was standing in front of her, her nose was sore and she wanted to cry. Her mother was supposed to be high and mighty and be flattered. The Ji family was always like this in the past. The whole family was wiped out in the previous life. Is it impossible to reverse this ending in this life?

"If it weren't for you, Ji Mengshu, how could Chao Chao have died?"

Ji Mengshu smiled bitterly, "Since Your Majesty has determined that I am a murderer, it is difficult for me to refuse. I hope Your Majesty will deal with me!"

"Hahaha - OK, OK - I will deal with all of you. My grandmother wanted me to marry you, but I just didn't want to marry you. It was the same before, and it's still the same now! A woman who relies on her family background to do evil is not even one ten-thousandth of what I can do!"

Without the support of the Ji Mansion, Ji Mengshu's weight was as light as a feather, whether in Ning Huaixuan's heart or in the heart of the empress dowager.

The situation is still unstable now. Many noble families have their eyes on the vacant position of Queen. Even if it is ranked outside the capital, it will not be Ji Mengshu's turn now.

In the dark and damp prison, I came here again and went in personally.

Guiyang Hou stood in the huge gate of Ji's mansion, jumping up and down in anger. He stared at those people and asked repeatedly, "Ji Kang has been the prime minister for so many years, but he didn't find any gold bars?"

The guards shook their heads and said, "We have searched the entire Ji Mansion thoroughly and there is indeed no extra money."

I can't believe that the Prime Minister of a country is so poor.

Guiyang Hou laughed bitterly. Could it be that the old man knew the news in advance and moved all the gold and silver treasures away? But if the gold and silver treasures were all moved, why didn't he leave? If he didn't leave, what was the point of moving the gold and silver treasures?

Marquis Guiyang was thinking of confiscating Ji's mansion to replenish the army to resist King Changyou. But now his plan failed, which means he has not yet completed the emperor's order.

Everyone was in a state of panic. At this moment, a smaller man came forward flatteringly, his big teeth full of sulfur and wine, "My Lord, I do know which place in this city is the richest."

"Oh? Tell me about it..." This man was the most useless person in his house. He usually frequented brothels and had his hands full with wine and women. He also had some dirty and shameful diseases. Therefore, many singing and dancing houses in Kyoto had blocked him. This was definitely a perfect opportunity for revenge.

Leading Guiyang Hou to the most prosperous place in the city - Treasure Pavilion

Guiyang Hou twisted his beard and asked, "Are you sure this is it?"

The three characters "Zhenbao Pavilion" were elegant and graceful, but the facade was no different from other shops. Several people were blocking the way outside, so the owner had to come out and said, "Hey, guests, this is the Zhenbao Pavilion. Would you like to go in and take a look?"

The servant standing at the door glanced at him and saw that he was standing in the Eight Direction Steps and had calluses on his hands. It was obvious that he was a martial artist.

Guiyang Hou walked around the Treasure Pavilion and found that the items on sale were indeed expensive, but if he wanted to satisfy the soldiers' appetite with just one Treasure Pavilion, it would be far from enough.

Royal Palace

At the banquet

He Wei bowed and said, "Your Majesty, after careful investigation by the minister and the secretary, there were a total of 21 officials in the capital who died at the hands of Prince Changyou, scattered among the six ministries. The people who replaced them later were either those who passed the imperial examination two years ago, or those nominated by the prefectures and states. I have checked carefully and these people have nothing to do with Prince Changyou."

Ning Huaixuan let out a long sigh, and his heart finally calmed down under his elegant black robe. "Well done, I'll toast to you."

"I am terrified."

He Wei is now Ning Huaixuan's trusted minister. In addition to the Imperial Guards and the Jinwu Guards, He Wei is also called upon to discuss important matters in the court.

To be honest, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were able to have the status quo today entirely thanks to He Wei and his imperial guards.

Although he said this, he still didn't care about the emperor's toast.

The Queen Mother was tired and did not attend the banquet. In addition to He Wei, Ning Huaixuan's subordinates also included the Minister Shao Shen and the Minister Cheng Hui. Both of them had been blackmailed by Ning Rongzhang.

However, the collected money was not kept in the national treasury, so the national treasury was still empty at that time.

Among the women sitting opposite was He Wei’s younger sister, now Princess Xihe—He Hui.

The families of several adults are still among them.

Cheng Hui was sweating profusely, it was really not easy to be an official nowadays. He had been in and out of Prince Changyou's Palace before. If he was seen by someone with ulterior motives, losing his official hat would be a small matter, but being beheaded would be a big deal.

"Master Cheng——"

"Hey, your majesty, what do you want?"

"Master Cheng, why are you panicking? You are neither humble nor arrogant when facing a villain like Ning Rongzhang. I really admire you..."

Cheng Hui put on his face and said, "I am only loyal to Your Majesty. I don't even want to associate with villains like Ning Rongzhang."

Shao Shen coughed lightly. He spoke so confidently, wasn't he afraid that Ning Huaixuan would notice something?

"Lord Cheng has devoted himself to the country and the people. I admire him."

He Hui held up the wine glass, the long sleeves of her brocade robe fit her body perfectly, and the heavy makeup on her face reflected the bright lights by the pool.

A smile that was neither tepid nor angry. Who would have thought that when the He family was in trouble, they would gain power one day and turn things around to become the new favorite of the emperor.

She glanced at the man above her with seductive eyes. The edge of his black robe was embroidered with green bamboo patterns. He was a reserved gentleman with the air of an emperor.

The Queen Mother walked slowly towards him, with heavy makeup covering her complexion. She smiled and said, "Hui Er is here? Come quickly, come to me..."

He Hui happily ran to the Queen Mother and said considerately, "The Queen Mother is weak, Hui'er is enough, why do you have to come here in person?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I am old and want to see Hui'er one more time. Look, she is so beautiful..."

He Hui smiled shyly.

As a person who had experienced right and wrong, He Hui naturally understood the intention of the empress dowager's words, especially after the precedent of Ji Mengshu. If the He family was defeated one day, the empress dowager would naturally expel her without mercy.

But for now, I still respond.

Ning Huaixuan glanced at them coldly.

After talking about urging the army to provide food and grass, Ning Huaixuan dismissed the banquet early. This made the Queen Mother quite dissatisfied, "Xuan'er, I know you are upset, but the country is in turmoil. As an emperor, you can't ignore the country for your own selfish desires, right?"

Always use the country to pressure him.

Ning Huaixuan took a deep breath and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. The Empress Dowager likes He Hui and arranged for me to marry her, but she can't be the Queen!"

"Why are you doing this? The He family is powerful. With He Hui's status, if she becomes the queen, the He family will only be more loyal to you!"
