Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 219 The Princess Wants to Become the Empress

At the beginning, the emperor's favorite concubine Wan Guifei said to the queen before she was executed,

"So what if you are the queen? Your most beloved daughter is actually my child. And your child has long been thrown out of the palace by me, hahahahahahahaha,

My daughter is the emperor's only princess and is deeply loved by the emperor. I am telling you, do you dare to abuse my daughter?

And I guess you don't dare to tell the emperor the truth because you are afraid that the emperor will think you don't know how to manage the harem and ask other concubines to help you, thus weakening your power."

The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she also knew that what Concubine Wan said was true.

Concubine Wan continued to provoke the Queen, "If you hadn't intervened and drugged the Emperor, who was still the Crown Prince, how could he have taken a fancy to you and married you as the Crown Princess? How could I have become a concubine? Liu Yan'er, this is all your karma!"

Even if you kill me now, what does it matter? I am still the white moonlight in the emperor's heart, no one can compare to me. And you are still walking on thin ice."

The queen was the queen, and after a brief moment of anger, she no longer worried about it. After all, she already had a son, and no matter what happened, her son would be the emperor in the future.

Ten years later, the queen's sister and her family all passed away, and her niece Chu Hanbing was brought into the palace.

Not long after Chu Hanbing entered the palace, she captured everyone's hearts, including the emperor, the empress, the prince, and the original owner Li Ningshuang's fiancé Luo Jingyuan.

Li Ningshuang instantly became the biggest joke in the entire capital. Whenever she and Chu Hanbing had a conflict, it was always her fault, and everyone would punish and blame her.

She was a princess, but she lived worse than a palace maid.

When she reached the age of 15, she knelt at the gate of the emperor's palace for a whole day and finally begged the emperor to show mercy and allow her to build a house outside the palace.

Li Ningshuang thought that she could stay away from troubles by leaving the palace. However, she did not expect that a group of madmen and women would chase her to the princess's mansion and make a scene.

Unable to bear it any longer, she whipped out her whip and immediately lashed at Chu Hanbing. The final result was that she was confined to her house for a year by the Queen.

As soon as the ban was lifted, the queen arranged her marriage with a playboy, just because she wanted to win over the playboy's family to support the prince.

Li Ningshuang was unwilling to be a victim, so she chose Zhao Yong, a secret guard who had been protecting her secretly.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Zhao Yong was assassinated and stabbed dozens of times.

Li Ningshuang was devastated and began to realize the importance of power. She secretly cultivated her power, but she was discovered and reported to the emperor, who imprisoned her until she died.

"I want to be the one in power and control the fate of others!"

"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.

……

Sheng Jiang thought about it and decided that it would be more interesting to have that crazy Concubine Wan fight against the Queen. So he turned back the clock to the day when the Queen wanted to execute Concubine Wan.

Concubine Wan was shocked, "I am the imperial concubine appointed by the emperor himself!"

What I mean is, even if you are the queen, you cannot execute me at will.

Who knew that the Queen's crazy mother blurted out, "I am the Queen appointed by the Emperor himself!"

What I mean is, so what if I was personally appointed as a concubine by the Emperor? I am the Empress, which means I am one level higher than you and have the right to execute you.

Concubine Wan: ...? ? ? This person doesn't understand what I'm saying? The Emperor isn't in the palace today. Is today really the day I die?

When the Queen saw Concubine Wan speechless, she felt secretly proud that she had finally surpassed this bitch in momentum and position!

"Someone! Take her away! Strangulate her immediately!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two maids dragged Concubine Wan away. At this moment, the eunuch shouted "The Emperor has arrived", which scared everyone and they all knelt on the ground.

Concubine Wan was overjoyed. She broke free from her restraints and quickly crawled to the emperor, "Silang, you're back!"

The emperor looked at his beloved woman in such a state of disgrace that he asked distressedly, "What happened?"

"Silang, the Queen wants to kill me. Woohoo! If you come back any later, you'll only see my corpse..."

"Empress!" The emperor was instantly furious. "I asked you to manage the harem, and this is how you manage it?"

The Queen quickly explained, "Brother Chen, it was the Imperial Concubine. She disregarded the palace rules and was disrespectful to the royal family..."

Concubine Wan cried and said weakly, "Empress, I know you are jealous that the emperor has me in his heart and you make things difficult for me, but you can't slander me like this."

She tugged at the emperor's sleeve again, "Silang, we were in love back then, and you promised to marry me as your principal wife. If the queen hadn't intervened and plotted against you, how could she have become the queen?"

Now, seeing that we are still in love, he is jealous and wants to kill me while you are away. Silang... Fortunately, you are back today."

"Empress! I think you are tired of being the Empress! Come! Imprison the Empress in the Cining Palace and do not allow her to leave unless summoned!"

The queen was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground and begged for mercy.

In this life, Concubine Wan has not yet told the Queen and Princess the truth. Returning to the palace, the Queen smashed many tea sets and suddenly saw ginger.

At this time, Sheng Jiang was only 5 years old. Because she was smart and clever, and the emperor's only daughter, she was very much favored and allowed to study in the Shangshufang with other princes as an exception.

"Mother, please don't be angry. You are already the mother of a country. Power is the most important thing. In comparison, the favor of a man is not worth mentioning at all."

Listening to the soft and sticky voice of Ginger, the Queen calmed down and picked up Ginger. To be honest, although the Queen was not a good person, she was really good to her children.

"Ningshuang, do you have any good ideas?"

"Let my eldest brother become the crown prince as soon as possible."

"The Emperor won't agree. He's just waiting for that bitch Concubine Wan to give birth to a son and then make her son the Empress."

"Then why don't we just not let her give birth to the child?"

"It's not like the Queen Mother you mentioned hasn't thought about it, but how easy is it? Once something happens, it will be easy to find out."

"Don't worry, mother. This pill dissolves in water. It's colorless and odorless, so no one can detect it." Sheng Jiang took out a date. "But if you take it with dates, the effect will be even better."

Seeing that the pill quickly dissipated in the water, the queen was overjoyed and immediately began to arrange for her spies to poison Concubine Wan.

And they chose to take action at the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet where the emperor was entertaining his ministers.

Sure enough, not long after Concubine Wan drank the wine, she vomited blood and fell to the ground.

The emperor was so frightened that he ran over and picked up the beauty, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

After feeling the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is barely breathing. I'm afraid she's beyond saving. And..."

"And what?"

"The Imperial Concubine is suffering from a chill that has spread to her abdomen. I'm afraid she's been poisoned for a long time."

"No wonder she hasn't gotten pregnant in all these years! Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Even if it means digging three feet underground! Even if it means chasing her out of the palace! I don't believe anyone has the guts to harm my concubine."

The palace maid obeyed the order and left. Concubine Wan held the emperor with a weak breath, "Silang, there's no need to check. I know who it is."

"who is it?"

"It's nothing more than the Empress. Silang, I don't have much time left. For the rest of my time, I just want to spend time with you. There is something I have concealed from Your Majesty."

"what's up?"

"Ningshuang is actually my daughter."

"what?"

"At first, I was afraid that the child would fall into the hands of the Queen, so I secretly swapped my child with hers."

"How dare you!" the emperor was furious. "That's my child too!"

Concubine Wan was trembling with fear, but she still said coquettishly, "Silang, but the Queen's child was born stillborn. That's why I dared to switch."

The emperor's tone softened again, "So that's how it is. Zhen'er, don't worry, I and your daughter, I will definitely treat her well in the future."

Concubine Wan died, and the palace servants also found out the source of the poisoned wine.

Sheng Jiang: This is the only way to die. Otherwise, your death would be in vain, leaving no enemies behind. And leaving your children to suffer in vain.

The emperor then banished the empress to the cold palace, where she was fed only leftovers. With so many crazy concubines in the cold palace, one can imagine how tough life was for the empress.

Because the Queen was in trouble, her son, the eldest prince, was also implicated. Those who had wanted to nominate him as the Crown Prince were now silent.

The eldest prince was disliked by the emperor, and the other princes stopped playing with him and began to isolate and attack him.

Even his study partner Luo Jingyuan was implicated. Luo Jingyuan was very smart since childhood. He could recite the Three Character Classic at the age of three and compose poetry at the age of five. He was praised as a child prodigy in the capital.

The queen had chosen him as a child prodigy in order to help her son learn more and become smarter, and also to win over the Luo family.

Now that the queen has fallen and the eldest prince has lost power, the Luo family, in order to distance themselves from the matter as quickly as possible, dragged him home overnight and kept him under strict surveillance.

Only Jiang was not implicated at all and was still favored by the emperor.

Li Chengyou found Sheng Jiang and said, "Sister, the Queen Mother is in the cold palace now. Do you want to see her?"

"No!" Ginger answered without thinking.

"How could you do this? She is our queen mother, the one who loves you the most."

"She is your mother, but not mine."

"What do you mean?"

"It means I'm not her daughter. Don't you understand? Otherwise, why is it that even after the Queen fell, you had a hard time surviving, while I'm still so favored?"

"Even so, after all, Mother raised you..."

"She raised me? Isn't it to use me to attract the emperor's attention? If you want to save your mother, it's up to you, but don't involve me."

Before Li Chengyou could think of a way to save the queen, another incident occurred in the court.

The empress's sister married the governor of Suzhou. In order to support the empress and Li Chengyou, the couple imposed heavy taxes and oppressed the people.

If the imperial court collected 10% tax, they would increase it to 30% or even 40%.

The weather was unusual that year, making it difficult for fishermen to catch fish. The temperature plummeted, freezing many silkworms to death, and leaving most silkworm farmers with nothing.

These industries were basically the most profitable livelihoods in Suzhou City. Now that they were hit hard, the government did not care about the lives of the lower classes, and continued to increase taxes and even robbed people's homes.

How many ordinary people have lost their families and been separated from their wives and children.

Some people filed a complaint, but they couldn't even leave the village. The governor had long thought of this and sent many unemployed vagrants to specifically target troublemakers who wanted to file a complaint. If they showed any abnormality, they would be immediately thrown into jail.

The higher the pressure, the stronger the resistance.

There was an honest blacksmith who joined forces with a group of brothers, killed the people who were secretly following him, and took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the governor's house. They chopped off the governor and his wife's heads, and then took advantage of the chaos to run into the mountains and become bandits.

The governor and his wife died, leaving only their daughter, Chu Hanbing, who luckily survived. An old servant took her to the capital, hoping to find Li Chengyou.

When Li Chengyou saw Chu Hanbing, he no longer took care of her like he did in his previous life.

In order to regain the emperor's trust, he, who was in a difficult situation himself, took Chu Hanbing and went directly to the emperor to confess the actions of the Suzhou governor and his family.

The emperor sent people to search the governor's house and found evidence of collusion between him and other officials. Selling official positions, forming cliques for personal gain, and illegally operating salt mines were all crimes that the emperor was wary of.

Finally, letters to and from Prime Minister Luo were also found.

It turns out that Prime Minister Luo was also involved.

The emperor was furious and sent an imperial commissioner to investigate the case. As many as forty or fifty officials were implicated. Depending on the severity of the crime, some were confiscated, others exiled. Suddenly, the imperial court underwent a complete reshuffle.

Prime Minister Luo was sentenced to death along with his entire family.

Luo Jingyuan was only about 10 years old at the time, so he was not executed, but was sentenced to exile in Ningguta. Whether he lived or died depended entirely on fate.

Sheng Jiang thought about it and suggested to the emperor that Chu Hanbing be exiled to Ningguta together.

Seeing the loving couple in the previous life, can they still be a loving couple in this life while wandering on the road? For this reason, all the memories of the previous life were given to the two.

Unexpectedly, the two of them initially tried to keep each other warm. As the weather grew colder, Chu Hanbing, who grew up in the south, could not stand the weather and fell ill with a high fever.

Luo Jingyuan had never taken care of anyone before, and because they had to walk all day and the officials didn't give them time to rest, Chu Hanbing soon became exhausted.

Not long after her death, Luo Jingyuan also couldn't bear it anymore and started to have a fever. He died within a few days.

Li Chengyou originally wanted to take this opportunity to turn the tables, but he didn't expect the emperor to dislike him even more. The Shangshufang also stopped him from studying. Now he has become a little beggar who can be bullied by everyone.

Sheng Jiang took this opportunity to beat him up and threw him into the cold palace to keep the queen company.

The Queen was in the cold palace and had begun to lose her mind. If she hadn't longed for her son to rescue her, she might have had a mental breakdown long ago.

Seeing that his hope was also thrown in, his eyes suddenly became clear.

"Chengyou, how did you become like this?"

"Who is it? Who made you like this?"

Li Chengyou hugged the queen and cried, "Mother, mother,"

The Queen listened to Li Chengyou's fragmented account of what had happened and gnashed her teeth, "Li Ningshuang! I really have raised an ungrateful person!"

Sheng Jiang came over and asked, "Queen, what are you good at?"

When the Queen saw Sheng Jiang wearing the imperial robes that only the Crown Prince could wear, her eyes were red with anger. "How dare you..."

"Why wouldn't I dare? My father personally ordered the Imperial Clothing Bureau to custom-make this for me. I'm the future empress."

"What a joke! Since ancient times, no woman has ever been able to ascend the throne."

"Really? Then I'll set a precedent."

"Hmph, you're just a princess now. When the emperor has another son, do you think you can still hold on to the position of princess? I'm afraid you won't have an easy life, will you?"

"How do you know the Emperor will have other sons? What if he never has any sons again?"

The Queen's pupils trembled. "You! How dare you make the Emperor's heir extinct? This is simply treason!"

"Not only that, but I even dealt with your son outside the palace. So, I will definitely be the empress!"

The queen was so angry that she vomited blood and fell to the ground. Jiang looked at Li Chengyou who was covered in blood and ignored him. He would not survive for long due to his injuries.

Five years later, the emperor fell ill and was bedridden. The 10-year-old princess took over as regent.

After a series of thundering measures, all the ministers were convinced. Seeing that the results were good, Sheng Jiang overthrew the emperor and ascended the throne himself.
