Chapter 230 The Princess Who Helped Her Brother Become Emperor

The emperor had more than a dozen princes and princesses. In this era, there was no hierarchy between men and women, and princesses could also become emperors.

After various struggles, the only princes left were Prince Jing, the son of Concubine Jing, and Prince Ning, the son of Concubine Ming.

The only princesses left were the married eldest and second princesses, and Concubine Jing's daughter, the fifth princess, Princess Qinghe.

A married princess cannot inherit the throne.

In order to ensure that her son would succeed to the throne, Concubine Jing had been brainwashing Qinghe since she was a child, asking her to take advantage of the emperor's favor and constantly speak well of her son to the emperor.

Finally, he gave Qinghe a cup of poisoned wine, causing her to bleed from all seven orifices, which made the emperor furious. He also bribed the maidservant around Prince Ning and falsely accused Prince Ning of poisoning her.

Finally, Prince Ning was exiled to Ningguta. Although Qinghe was rescued, she could never conceive.

When Prince Jing ascended the throne, Qinghe thought that his hard work had finally paid off. Unexpectedly, he was exiled to Yongxiang.

It turns out that Prince Jing's white moonlight, in order to play hard to get and make Prince Jing remember her, deliberately asked Qinghe to go hiking with her, but she jumped off the cliff and faked her death.

This happened to be discovered by Prince Jing, who thought it was his sister and killed Bai Yueguang.

At that time, Qinghe was in the midst of a fierce battle with Prince Ning. He endured it silently. Now that he sat on the throne, he naturally wanted to avenge Bai Yueguang.

Qinghe later died in depression in Yongxiang.

"I want to be the empress myself!" Qinghe's eyes were clear. "I couldn't see clearly before, and always gave up my own opportunities for the sake of family affection. Now I understand that instead of being a knife in someone else's hand, it's better for me to be the one holding the knife!"

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

……

At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Concubine Jing looked at the chicken soup in front of Sheng Jiang and said gently, "Qinghe, this is your favorite black chicken soup. Mother specially asked someone to stew it. Would you like to try it?"

Ginger, "Mother, my brother likes it too. I want him to try it too."

Concubine Jing looked unhappy, "Your brother doesn't like these, Qinghe is thoughtful."

Sheng Jiang stopped talking and drank the soup obediently. Concubine Jing was secretly anxious, waiting for Sheng Jiang to bleed from all seven orifices.

Instead of waiting for him, Prince Jing fell to the ground, hunched over, and spitting black blood from his mouth.

Concubine Jing turned pale with fear, not caring about anything else. "Jing'er? Quick! Call the imperial physician!"

The emperor was also shocked. "If you can't cure Prince Jing, I will take your heads!"

The imperial doctors trembled in fear. They quickly came to the conclusion, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing was poisoned by the eight-treasure porridge he just ate. The poison has now been expelled from his body, but I'm afraid that in the future..."

"What is it?"

The imperial physician dared not say.

"Speak!" Princess Jing shouted.

"This poison is extremely potent. Your Highness Prince Jing has suffered kidney damage. I'm afraid he will have difficulty...offspring in the future."

"Quack! Quack!" Concubine Jing was furious. "How could my son be poisoned? You must be talking nonsense to destroy my son's chances of becoming the crown prince!"

"This... I dare not..."

The emperor was also furious, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me! How could such a deadly poison appear at the palace banquet?"

"Yes"

After a thorough investigation, the guards traced the case back to Prince Ning's personal maid. Concubine Jing had long controlled her family and threatened her to testify against Prince Ning.

The emperor was furious and banished Concubine Ming to the cold palace, and Prince Ning was assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum. As everyone knows, once someone is assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum, he will never be able to take the throne again.

As soon as the matter was settled, Concubine Jing called Sheng Jiang over.

As soon as Sheng Jiang arrived, a teacup was thrown at him. Sheng Jiang caught the teacup and threw it back, smashing a big hole in Concubine Jing's forehead.

"You... actually know martial arts?"

"Is this strange? My father dotes on me, and I've been learning the Six Arts of a Gentleman alongside my brothers since I was little. I'm the best at it."

Concubine Jing recovered and asked, "Tell me, why was Jing'er poisoned? And not you?"

"What? You poisoned my soup?"

Concubine Jing was a little uncomfortable. "It was Mother who poisoned you. Qinghe, Mother only wanted to poison you a little bit, so that your father would be furious and depose Prince Ning. It would also pave the way for your brother to become the crown prince."

"You also know how good your royal brother was to you in the past. If he ascends to the throne in the future, he will definitely make you the most honored princess, second only to the emperor and above everyone else."

"So you're going to sacrifice me? What if I die from the poison?"

"Impossible! I planned this long ago."

"Anyway, after all, I'm your son's sacrifice for the throne. Over the years, I've eliminated countless competitors for him. Isn't that enough? Now, you still want me to die?

If that's the case, instead of giving you a knife, why can't I be the one holding the knife myself, and be the master of this world?"

"What?" Concubine Jing was shocked. "How is it possible for you, a woman?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

"Your father won't agree!"

"If the Emperor wouldn't agree, I wouldn't be telling you this. Mother, even if I became the Emperor, you would still be the most honorable Empress Dowager. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"No! You can't be the emperor! It turns out that you are the same as that bitch. You both say you don't fight for anything and you are as quiet as a chrysanthemum, but it turns out that you are both ambitious!" Concubine Jing blurted out.

"Who is that person you are talking about?"

Concubine Jing reacted, "No, no one"

"Anyway, life in this world is already difficult for women. Why do you have to do such hard work? Can't you just enjoy yourself while men manage the world?"

"The person you're talking about is my biological mother, right? Concubine Jing? For so many years, you've used me. How much favor and power has the emperor bestowed upon you? And yet you're still not satisfied and want to kill me, once and for all?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Think what you will. If I were poisoned, even if I were rescued, I would be a cripple, and Prince Ning would also be deposed. Then your son would have won without any effort, wouldn't he?

I have to say, what a good plan! But unfortunately, it is your son who has been poisoned and has become a disabled person. The royal family will never allow an infertile person to become emperor.

So, now I am the one who wins without doing anything. Empress Jing, I really have to thank you very much."

Concubine Jing was now certain that Sheng Jiang knew everything and roared, "It was you? It turned out you poisoned my son! I'm going to report you to the Emperor!"

"It's up to you. But do you think the emperor would believe you? He gave you the daughter of his beloved woman to raise, and you turned her into a tool in your hands to pave the way for your son.

Do you think that my father doesn't know what I've done for you over the years? No, he knows everything, but he just turns a blind eye.

Prince Jing was poisoned, and you were the one who poisoned him, but the clues were traced back to Prince Ning. Now you change your story again, what do you think your father is?"

Concubine Jing's eyes were red with anger. "You really know everything! You and your mother are so hypocritical!

At the beginning, the emperor went on a secret visit and had a brief relationship with her, but she was unwilling to enter the palace, saying that she was used to a free and easy life.

She had left, taking the Emperor's soul with her. For so many years, the Emperor had never appointed her as Empress for her sake.

You say, how can I not hate?

In order to gain his attention, I had to bite my teeth and raise you. Speaking of which, you are really pitiful. When you were just born, your mother didn't want you..."

"But I have my father's love," Sheng Jiang didn't care. "Empress Jing, if your son wakes up and knows he's become a cripple, do you think he'll hate you? I hope you cherish the last moments we have together!"

Sheng Jiang did not deal with Concubine Jing, but was still waiting for Prince Jing's white moonlight to come and see the lively family.

As soon as Sheng Jiang arrived at the palace gate, he saw Bai Yueyue.

"How dare you! You don't even kowtow to the princess when you see her?"

Bai Yueyue reluctantly knelt down and performed an irregular salute.

Sheng Jiang sneered, "With this etiquette, you still want to be the Princess of Jing? You can't even pass the test of the Princess Jing."

"Your Highness, I come from humble origins and have never learned etiquette, but I am also from a good family. How could you humiliate me like this?"

"Is this humiliating? Concubine Jing, for the sake of her son's stable position, would never marry a merchant's daughter like you as her princess. As a person, you should have some self-awareness."

In order to watch the fun, Sheng Jiang temporarily did not let Prince Jing know that he was inhumane.

Bai Yueyue secretly sent eunuchs outside the palace to deliver messages to Prince Jing every day. Finally, after Prince Jing recovered from his injuries, he went to see her. The two of them talked to each other from the bottom of their hearts.

Prince Jing returned to the palace and asked the emperor for permission to marry. Concubine Jing was furious and cursed him. Then she thought, "Marry one first." Then she could secretly tell him the truth and find a doctor to treat him. If he was cured, she could kill that bitch later.

On the night of Prince Jing's wedding, his face flushed red. Bai Yueyue felt disgusted, but kept trying to comfort him, "Your Highness, maybe it's because you drank too much. I'm already very happy just to be with you."

Prince Jing was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes and he hugged her tightly, "Yueyue, don't worry, I will never let you down in the future."

Sheng Jiang ignored them and just completed the task assigned by the emperor seriously, and the ministers were convinced.

Later, in order to be lazy, he pretended to be sick and handed over the power of regent to her.

After Prince Jing knew about this, he realized that he had underestimated his sister. When he was leaving the court, he stopped her and said sarcastically, "Qinghe, you really gave me a big surprise."

"How can this be considered a surprise? The entire court, both civil and military, knew about this a long time ago, and none of them had any objections, which means I did a pretty good job. It's just that you, my royal brother, were busy reciting poems and admiring the moon with your white moonlight, and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the court, so you only found out now."

"You! You're so nice!"

"Of course! Since I was little, I've been the most talented of all my brothers and sisters. I'm as good as you men in all six arts. Even the Grand Tutor often praises me. Have you forgotten?"

Prince Jing left angrily and returned to the mansion. He saw Bai Yueyue in the yard. The maid looked nervous when she saw him.

"Come back!" Prince Jing shouted, "I'm not a ghost, and I won't eat you. Why are you running away?"

"No, no"

"Are you still lying?" Prince Jing called the guards around him and took out the hairpin he had intended to give to Bai Yueyue. "If you tell me the truth, I will love you from now on and make you my concubine.

If you don't tell me, I'll immediately pierce your mouth with a hairpin and sew it up again! You won't have to speak again in your life!"

The maid was terrified. "I tell you! I tell you! The princess sent me out to see if the prince has returned."

"I'm back, why are you so nervous?"

The maid said nothing.

Prince Jing took the hairpin and started pricking the maid, causing her to blurt out in pain, "The princess and Lord Liu were talking together, and I was afraid that the prince would misunderstand, so..."

Prince Jing is not stupid. Does he need to avoid people when talking normally? He walked to the door angrily and heard the voices inside.

"Yueyue, when will this day of ours end?"

"almost!"

"You're saying that again! Tell me the truth, are you blinded by the splendor and wealth of the palace and can't bear to leave?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Yueyue said coquettishly, "I tell you, the prince is just a silver-plated spear head, all show and no use. Even if he has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, what good is it? Isn't it still a life of widowhood for me?"

"Besides, if we want to live a good life in the future, we still have to rely on the prince's power, right? Otherwise, with the little knowledge you have in your belly, you still want to pass the imperial examination? Didn't I have to give someone a heads-up?"

"Well, what do you think? Since you've already made the arrangements, why don't you just let me win the top prize? What's the point of winning a mediocre Jinshi?"

"You are truly greedy. How could it be so easy to become the top scholar? Besides, we have to meet the emperor. If the truth is revealed, we're all doomed.

The emperor wouldn't notice an ordinary Jinshi. Besides, I'll be there for you in the future, and I'll be able to promote you sooner or later. When Prince Jing ascends the throne, I'll find a way to promote you to prime minister."

The man chuckled and said, "You've really thought it through. Let's have another child and put him on the throne. Then, won't we have the final say in the world?"

"Damn it, who made you grow up with me..."

Prince Jing could no longer endure it and kicked the door open with his sword. "Bitch! I will kill you two!"

Bai Yueyue was shocked and quickly got off the bed and knelt on the ground, "Prince, please listen to my explanation, things are not what you think."

"What's that? I heard it with my own ears, how could it be false? Bai Yueyue, you are such a fickle woman! If it weren't for me, your family's business would have gone bankrupt long ago! How dare you repay me like this?"

The man was also trembling, but he still said, "Your Highness, this is all my idea. It has nothing to do with the Princess. Please let the Princess go."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you plead for her?"

Prince Jing pierced his throat with a sword and said, "Take him away and throw him into the mass grave to feed the dogs!"

Bai Yueyue's face turned pale, "Prince, please forgive me"

"Forgive you? Do you deserve it? How have I wronged you? Why do you treat me like this?"

"How have you ever been unfair to me? If it weren't for you, Brother Chang and I would have been happily married and living in harmony. If you hadn't used your power to sabotage things, would my business be on the verge of bankruptcy?

You pushed me to the brink of despair, then appeared as a benefactor and asked me to shed tears of gratitude. Is there anyone in this world more shameless than you?

"You know everything? Then don't blame me for not letting you stay." After saying that, he directly ordered Bai Yueyue to be executed.

As soon as the incident happened, there was a constant stream of impeachment memorials against Prince Jing, alleging things like robbing beautiful women and forming a clique for personal gain. The emperor was furious and demoted him to a commoner, ordering him to live in the Eternal Lane, where he would remain until he died.

At the same time, Concubine Jing was also demoted to Yongxiang for failing to discipline her children strictly.

After dealing with these matters, the emperor abdicated and let Sheng Jiang ascend the throne.

The euphemism was, "I'm going on a secret visit to help you protect your country."

Sheng Jiang: ...? ? Aren't you still going out to look for Bai Yueguang, who doesn't want to enter the palace?
