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

"And the wife who chose to go hand in hand with him, legitimately became the queen..." Ning Rongzhang spoke indifferently, as if he was telling a story he had read in a storybook, "Everyone said it was a destined marriage, and even the woman once happily believed so."

"But later, the emperor changed. Perhaps it should not be said that he changed, but that his nature was like this. It was the empress who failed to see his true face and was deceived by him. Concubines were welcomed into the palace one after another. In the harem, the empress was restrained, and in the court, the emperor was constantly suppressing the wives of the generals who supported him in the past."

Is it such a tragic story? With so many years of experience in reading storybooks, Ji Mengshu could already smell a hint of sadness. He asked cautiously, "What happens next?"

Ning Rongzhang took a deep breath, and even his palms tightened involuntarily. "After that, the wives of the generals returned home, some were dismissed, and finally the emperor completely ignored the queen. During such a long and loving wait, no one knows how the queen made it through..."

Ji Mengshu lowered his eyes and looked at the lake that had returned to its calm state. He felt a dull pain in his heart. "Is this the story?"

"This matter has not yet come to an end. Not long after the fall of the General's Mansion, the Queen fell seriously ill. The year she passed away, she was still as young as the morning glow."

Ji Mengshu was speechless. He looked at Hu Xinyue for a long time. "Your Highness, are you talking about the ancestor queen?"

Ning Rongzhang turned around and looked at her, and said frankly, "It is my royal grandmother."

The current Grand Empress Dowager was only a successor to the throne. But the Empress who accompanied Emperor Taizu through all those years, her age has forever remained at that year.

"I didn't expect that Emperor Taizu had such a heartless side. Everyone thinks that Emperor Taizu has made outstanding achievements, but few people know that he once betrayed the late queen."

Ning Rongzhang sneered, "A man like Emperor Taizu is not worthy of being with the Empress Dowager for his whole life. Even the previous Emperor was the son of Emperor Taizu and the current Grand Empress Dowager. Unfortunately, the previous Emperor died early, and the throne fell into the hands of Your Majesty today."

"After hearing what you said today, the first empress of the Taizu Dynasty in the history books was really a person who was infatuated with love." Ji Mengshu raised her eyes and thought, it's a pity that she met a bad man. If the first empress of the Taizu Dynasty could do it again, would she still choose the Emperor Taizu regardless of everything? "Although the Emperor Taizu was like this, I heard that the former Prince Changyou was different from the Emperor Taizu. It is said that he was very infatuated."

Ning Rongzhang patted the railing in front of him and smiled again, "My father only had mother in his life, so there has never been any distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in my family."

As a prince, he only married the princess in his life, which shows how infatuated he was.

Ning Rongzhang changed the subject and took out a small thing from his wide-sleeved robe, which looked like both a tiger and a wolf. "Emperor Taizu loved his daughter Princess Wuhua very much, but unfortunately he died of illness before Princess Wuhua got married. After that, Princess Wuhua was sent as an envoy to Luanzhou under the arrangement of the late emperor. I wonder if Emperor Taizu would be heartbroken if he knew about this?"

"If Princess Wuhua had stayed in Kyoto, this would not have been the outcome." Ji Mengshu sighed softly, looking at the small thing in Ning Rongzhang's hand, and then asked, "Whose is this thing?"

"Princess Wuhua gave it to me personally when I was in Luanzhou."

Ji Mengshu took it carefully. The pattern on it looked a bit quaint, but it was obvious that the owner had taken great care of it, so that there were no other scratches on the tiger. Looking at the shape of the thing carefully, Ji Mengshu suddenly said in surprise, "Is this thing... the tiger talisman of Emperor Taizu?"

"Exactly."

His eyes suddenly widened, and then he felt incredible, "You mean, Emperor Taizu gave this half of the tiger talisman to Princess Wuhua? But the tiger talisman is used to mobilize the army. If he didn't give it to the late emperor, why did he give it to the princess?"

"This is exactly what I am wondering about." Ning Rongzhang played with the tiger talisman again and again, and said, "And as far as I know, the imperial guards in Kyoto obey the general, that is, the emperor, and there is no need for a tiger talisman to dispatch them." Once an imperial edict is issued, the effect will be far better than a tiger talisman.

“But then again, this tiger talisman may have lost its effect after Taizu ascended the throne. At least when the previous emperor was alive, he never mentioned any tiger talismans.” Ji Mengshu guessed, “Since it has no effect, maybe it was just a small toy given to Princess Wuhua.”

Ning Rongzhang frowned, "Is it really... like this?"

He held half of the tiger talisman in his palm, which was icy cold. He had never seen his royal grandfather, and knew everything about him from history books and his father's mouth.

Such a cold-hearted person.

Since Wei Zheng came to Xinjiang, he has been trying to contact Ning Rongzhang through various means. This brother is too unfair and keeps everything secret.

After finally getting the news, Wei Zheng hurriedly stood up, took the envelope, and waved away the servant who delivered the letter.

"Zhenzhou?" Liao Hui turned her head and said indifferently, "I will not agree to this. Your health is more important."

Wei Zheng was just here for a leisurely visit, how could a subordinate threaten his master? "This young master is warning you, Xijiang is not your territory now. If you still want to stop me from doing things, do you believe that I will detain you and your people in Xijiang?"

"Son..."

"No need to discuss. I went through so much trouble just to see Ning Rongzhang. Now that I know where he is, but you won't let me go, what's the difference between this and not coming at all?"

After such a long journey, Wei Zheng has already figured out Liao Hui's personality. She responds to soft words and not to tough ones. He is not afraid that she will not agree if he adds a little threat.

"Since you are determined to go, I cannot stop you. But please remember that your health is the most important thing." Liao Hui clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Wei Zheng curled his lips slightly, teasing the lark in the cage on the table, with a hint of sarcasm in his lips.

It was wrong from the beginning. His birth was wrong, and his life was wrong. If, after avenging his mother, he allowed the remaining poison in his body to slowly corrode his internal organs and die, it would be a destined ending.

He had no worries in his life, and after he accidentally learned about his life experience, he felt it was a joke. Why should a person who should not exist in the world continue this mistake?

Zhenzhou

Prince Huai's Palace.

Princess Huai held Furong's hand and explained in detail, "Mother must tell you that the Changyou Prince is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can seize it, our Huai Prince's Mansion can regain the glory it had when Emperor Taizu was here."
