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

Ning Huaixuan smiled, "When Chao Chao was alive, I failed to make her the queen. Now that she is dead, I should fulfill her wish..."

He was talking to himself, seemingly not caring about the Queen Mother's life or death. The Queen Mother almost fell off her chair and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the Emperor of Dali. Are you going to disregard the imperial family and the country for a vixen?"

After all this, how could Ning Huaixuan still not wake up? Before, his heart was tied to Liu Huachao, and now he has finally killed him, thinking that he can focus on government affairs. But now, Liu Huachao is still remembered after his death.

The empress dowager was so angry that her heart was bent and she was about to go crazy. She really didn't understand how Liu Huachao, who was of low status, could make her grandson miss him so much.

At the end, he said forcefully, "No matter what you think, as long as I am still alive, you must marry He Hui as your queen. Don't even think about letting a dead foot-washing maid become the queen of the Dali Dynasty!"

The grandfather and grandson have no agreement on anything.

Ning Huaixuan waved his sleeves and left.

above the hall.

Ning Huaixuan was wearing a robe embroidered with a five-claw dragon pattern. He glanced at the ministers with a cold gaze and said coldly, "Are you all completely out of ideas? Do I have to watch you speechless every day when I attend court?!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

All the ministers were sad.

Shao Chan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, twisted his robe and said, "Your Majesty... I am doing my best to store grain, but the traitor Ning Rongzhang has emptied the national treasury and is now fighting the enemy in the north. Unfortunately, the Luanzhou tribe is very strong. I wonder if Your Majesty will still support it..."

With a "bang", the wooden table was slammed. Ning Huaixuan looked gloomy. "Why? According to Minister Shao, what support should I give to those rebels? Should I let them enter the capital?"

It would be best if a group of rebels were killed by the people of Luanzhou in the north, so that he wouldn't have to order people to take action himself!

"Yes, yes, yes! I was negligent. Ning Rongzhang is just a traitor. The court should not support him..." He broke out in a sweat.

The emperor wanted to store troops and food to resist foreign enemies, but he only wanted to kill Ning Rongzhang.

The jade ring on the thumb of his left hand felt slightly cool, but Ning Huaixuan turned it around without paying any attention and left the court.

I don't know what Ning Rongzhang was thinking. He had a large army and was regarded as a thorn in the king's side, but he still went to the border and suffered heavy casualties. The ministers in the court were still in panic.

With the army under Ning Rongzhang's command, it would be a piece of cake for him to turn around and seize Kyoto at this time.

However, he was fighting fiercely with the Luanzhou tribe, which resulted in the loss of many soldiers and generals, which benefited the emperor in Kyoto.

Ji Mengshu was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He could only watch the day and night change outside in the dark and damp prison, and draw long marks on the wall to record the time.

The three people were imprisoned in different places, and only Ji Mengshu had a cell. Heavy footsteps came from outside.

The chief jailer opened the cell and a warden came in.

The new warden was a big, round man. He put his hands on his waist and waved, "Bring the man up..."

The two jailers brought Ji Mengshu out and tied her to the execution rack. Both wrists were bound, leaving a shallow scar. "Miss Ji, the Ji family colluded with the enemy and sold out the country, colluding with the traitor Ning Rongzhang. And you forced the imperial concubine to death. I won't go into details about all these. You should know that no matter which crime you are charged with, the Ji family will be in a volcanic oil pan..."

Ji Mengshu asked, "What do you want to say?"

I didn't know that it was a rule that anyone who entered the Dali Temple prison would be whipped before being questioned. How come the rule has changed now? This prison warden talks a lot.

The warden showed no sign of being angry after being interrupted. He just said calmly, "If you listen to my advice and admit your crime, His Majesty will give you an intact body."

"Heh..." Ji Mengshu chuckled, moving his wrist uncomfortably. "You've also said that there are so many charges against the Ji family. Even so, if Your Majesty is willing to let us go, I'm afraid that as soon as I admit it, I'll be thrown into the oil pan... Please also report to Your Majesty that the Ji family has never harmed Your Majesty, nor has it done anything to let down the Great Li Dynasty. The people of the world are watching!"

"What a sharp-tongued woman!" The jailer narrowed his eyes, and the person behind him moved the iron that was burned red by the charcoal fire, obviously intending to torture her.

"Boss!"

The red-hot iron burned the hot air, distorting it. Ever since being imprisoned in the prison, Ji Mengshu had already prepared for a narrow escape.

"Miss Ji, you have to think carefully. Do you want to confess the Ji family's crimes in the prison under torture? Or do you want to confess honestly now? At least you can leave with dignity."

Ji Mengshu closed her eyes. The pain she had imagined did not come as expected.

I only heard the jailer fiddle with the chains a few times and flip through all kinds of torture instruments with a clang, with some threatening sounds from time to time. Then he brought a basin of blood, made some whip marks on her body, and then waved his hands.

"You guys--" Even the dumbest person would understand at this moment that these people had no intention of torturing you. They were just doing this for show.

Before Ji Mengshu could suspect anything, he was taken to the cell by two jailers again.

Ning Huaixuan blocked all the main roads to the north, and besieged Ning Rongzhang in the north, with the Luanzhou tribe in front and the Dali Dynasty behind. No matter whether he retreated or advanced, he would be forced to die inside.

Listening to the news reported by the minister, Ning Huaixuan frowned slightly, "Hasn't contacted the Luanzhou tribe yet?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The people of Luanzhou are treacherous by nature. If we want to do business with them, I am afraid that we will hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred of our own money by eight hundred..."

Ning Huaixuan smiled slightly, but there was not much smile in his eyes, "I don't care what happens, as long as Ning Rongzhang can never come back, no matter how excessive the Luanzhou tribe's request is, I will consider it."

Without the food supply from the inland, the soldiers in the north had less and less food in their hands. Even if they did not go to war with the Luanzhou tribe, they would be besieged and blocked by the Luanzhou tribe and the Dali Dynasty.

"Your Highness... the weather is getting colder, and the Luanzhou tribe is determined to fight us. Your Highness, have you thought of any way to deal with it?"

The candle wick was lit, and suddenly shone on the faces of the two people, dividing the perfect boundary between light and dark. "Xiaohan, Jingdou will not support us in the first place, didn't you think about it a long time ago?"

Yes, they were fighting to the death, fighting them to the death.
