Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 543: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (65)

"You side with the rebels, you're an accomplice to the evil, and you're ambitious!"

Zhao Su angrily rebuked: "You are violating orthodoxy!"

"Legitimate?" Fu Huaiying sneered: "Whoever can sit on the throne is the legitimate one."

Zhao Su sneered: "A fairy tale! If what you said is true, the world will be in chaos!"

"That's strange. In terms of legitimate wife, the eldest princess is the Empress' daughter; in terms of eldest son, the eldest princess is the late emperor's first child. They are both children of the late emperor, so why is Zhao Heng the legitimate heir instead of the eldest princess?

Or does Marquis Dingbei simply believe that women can't handle important responsibilities?"

"Strong words!"

Zhao Su frowned and gritted his teeth, glaring at Fu Huaiying.

"In that case, my Lord, please wait here. The outcome will be clear when the dust settles."

At this time, the first ray of sunlight rose in the sky, and the golden light spread across the earth like phoenix feathers, heralding a new beginning.

Zhao Su looked up at the sky. The morning light was not dazzling, but it carried an incomparable holy light.

His heart skipped a beat, as if he had sensed something, and he turned to look inside Chengtian Gate.

From a distance, you can see the closed gate of Taiji Palace.

The palace was silent, without a single person in sight.

It was too quiet, and Zhao Su had a feeling of unease in his heart.

Fu Huaiying's voice rang out overhead: "My Lord, it's time for you to attend the morning court."

Zhao Su turned his head and saw that Fu Huaiying had put on his mask again, looking down at him against the light.

At this time, the sound of cloth armor was heard outside the imperial city. An army came trotting over. Judging from their uniforms, they were the soldiers of General Li Yi, the general of the imperial flag.

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and General Li, wearing armor, ordered on horseback to clean up the corpses in front of Chengtian Gate.

Zhao Su's eyes were bloodshot: "Li Yi! You actually -"

"Traitors! You are all traitors!"

Treason is a serious crime that will result in the extermination of nine generations of your family!

"Li Yi! It's a blessing that the Saint appreciates you!"

Zhao Su didn't expect that even Li Yi had joined the eldest princess's army.

Li Yi is younger than Zhao Su, but he looks a little old because of his beard.

"It is the eldest princess who appreciates me."

That year, Li Yiwu's title of top scholar was taken away by someone using money and power, and it was the eldest princess who stood up for him.

If the late emperor had not chosen Wei Ning as his consort earlier, he would have definitely asked to marry the eldest princess and protect her for the rest of her life.

"I was ordered by the Princess to go to Jingzhou to rescue the Prince Consort. I'm here to report back."

Li Yi dismounted, removed his sword, and stood before Zhao Su. "The consort has been found. I learned some news from him before he died. My Lord, why don't you go to the morning court with me? Let's hear what he has to say."

Zhao Su's hands were covered in blood, the wounds penetrated deep into the bones, and his hands were twitching involuntarily.

Seeing this, Li Yi asked his subordinates to find a military doctor to bandage Zhao Su.

...

At the morning court, the eldest princess, in her court gown, announced that the sage's body had been disturbed by the cold wind last night, and that she would take over the morning court today.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.

The censors, led by Li Taifu, looked at the princess coldly and angrily, accusing her of treason.

However, there is another group of people, including newly promoted officials headed by Wang Qinghe and poor students such as Jian Fengchun, who control the court public opinion for the eldest princess.

In front of all the civil and military officials, Li Yi pointed out that the son-in-law was murdered by a traitor and asked the princess to conduct a thorough investigation.

When Zhao Su and Li Yi came in together and saw Zhao Hui sitting on the throne, Zhao Su knew that the matter was settled.

No one knew what the princess and the saint said or did that night, and no one saw the saint again for a month.

During this month, the eldest princess took many actions.

She betrothed her maid Lanxiang to the Lieutenant General of the Shen Ce Army, and gradually infiltrated the imperial guards.

He placed poor students in the Hanlin Academy to form the "Zhaoyang Literary Society" to control the drafting of imperial edicts.

He appointed General Biaoqi as the Jiedushi of Jiannan, and his eldest son Li Changshan as the leader of the imperial guards.

He also arranged a marriage for Wei Changheng with the legitimate daughter of the Longxi Li family, in order to gain the support of local clans through marriages among the aristocratic families.

In early May, Zhao Hui falsely conveyed an imperial edict to summon Li Taifu into the palace. In Hanyuan Hall, he executed Li Taifu on the grounds that he was "the hidden thread of Prince Changping's rebellion" and "harmed his son-in-law", and took this opportunity to purge the court of opposition ministers.

It was not until mid-May that the sage Zhao Heng died of illness in his bedroom, leaving behind an imperial edict, and the eldest princess Zhao Hui succeeded to the throne.

Those who receive orders from heaven will live long and prosperous lives.

After Zhao Hui succeeded to the throne, he changed the country's name to Zhaoyang and appointed his legitimate son Wei Changheng as the crown prince.

...

Wei Changheng was the most popular person for a while and ascended to the throne of crown prince with the help of his mother.

However, the person who was most happy about Wei Changheng becoming the crown prince was Zhao Ying.

The baby in her belly is about to be born.

Ever since she became pregnant, she hoped it would be a boy!

If it's a baby boy, she'll have someone to rely on for the rest of her life!

The doctor who took her pulse said that judging from the tip of her belly, it was likely to be a boy, which made Zhao Ying very happy.

If she gave birth to a boy, Wei Changheng might be so happy that he would make her a concubine! She would be the Concubine of the Eastern Palace in the future!

Zhao Ying was so happy that she even forgot about Wei Changheng's upcoming marriage.

After all, by the time the Queen entered the palace, she had already given birth to a child. That was Wei Changheng's eldest son! The eldest grandson of the Saint!

...

Compared to Zhao Ying's happiness, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion can be described as gloomy and gloomy.

The failure of the coup caused the Dingbei Marquisate to lose the emperor's favor.

However, because the injury to Marquis Dingbei's hand damaged his meridians and he could no longer lift heavy objects, the sage, in gratitude for his great military achievements in the past when defending his country, did not revoke Marquis Dingbei's title, but only stripped him of his military power and post.

With the pillar of the Marquis' Mansion gone, Zhao Su became depressed for a while. He locked himself in the study and did not come out for several days.

After this incident, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was severely damaged.

Zhao Lan, the second wife, has been frequently bullied in official circles recently and is in a very resentful mood. She even vaguely blames Zhao Su for being stupid.

Chu Yuexiang was too lazy to listen to Zhao Lan's complaints. She just thought that he couldn't accept it at the moment and she just focused on taking care of her three children.

But Zhao Lan didn't get a response from his wife, and was very dissatisfied. He even complained that his wife was not as good as his former sister-in-law Fu Huaiying.

If Chu Yuexiang and Fu Huaiying were good friends, the situation would not be what it is now.

Fu Huaiying is now favored by the Saint and is a favorite of the Saint! The Saint even gave her a large house in the capital.

The fans used by the saints in the Golden Fan Pavilion and the pools used by the saints in the Orchid Bath Villa are now popular all over the capital! Fu Huaiying has made a fortune!

Zhao Lan may have just complained casually, but it hit Chu Yuexiang's most embarrassing spot, and Chu Yuexiang immediately had a big quarrel with him.

Zhao Lan didn't expect that his wife, who had always been gentle and considerate, would be so angry. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment and left in anger.

The second wife was quarreling, and the third wife was not much better.

The old lady always sighed that Zhao Ying was lucky and would be promoted to concubine after she gave birth to a child.

As long as Zhao Ying's position is stable, the Dingbei Marquisate will one day regain its glory.

Now that the Marquis's Mansion has lost power, the old lady can only place her hopes on her grandchildren.

Liu Shuyu, the third wife's daughter-in-law who had not had any children for three years, became the target of the old lady's attention.
