"Mother, many ministers outside are opposing my ascension to the throne. I am still worried..."

In the Daming Palace, Emperor Changhe, who had just ascended the throne, looked worried and was lying in front of Empress Dowager Ci, complaining.

At the age of twelve, he had no intention of becoming emperor, and was even a little scared because of the affairs of the court.

After all, there are some forces in the Nankang City's imperial guards who openly oppose the emperor's illegal ascension to the throne, and it is hard to say about other places outside.

Compared with Emperor Changhe, Empress Dowager Ci's face was very calm.

"Don't be afraid, my son. With your mother here, you are now the legitimate Emperor of Great Qi. No one dares to touch you."

"If anyone dares to say there's a problem with your throne, that's blatant rebellion!"

Hearing his mother's confident words, even though Emperor Changhe still seemed worried, he nodded to show that he understood.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Ci turned to the palace maid and asked, "Has the Imperial Master arrived?"

The palace maid bowed slightly and said, "The people below have gone to invite the Imperial Master."

Empress Dowager Ci nodded and could only wait.

The so-called Grand Master of the State was actually the title given to Fuxi by Emperor Changhe when he ascended the throne.

This time, the mother and daughter succeeded in gaining power. Although most of the things were done by the Queen Mother Ci's own forces, Fu Xi also made an indispensable contribution.

For example, the assassination of Emperor Yangwu was planned from beginning to end by Fu Xi.

After successfully making her son the emperor, Empress Dowager Ci was both surprised and frightened by Fu Xi's abilities, and finally gave him the status of an imperial teacher.

This time, in order to quickly stabilize the internal power of Qi, Queen Mother Ci felt that it would be better to get Fu Xi's help.

While a few people were talking, a maid suddenly walked in hurriedly from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Preceptor has disappeared!"

"Gone?"

Upon hearing this news, Empress Dowager Ci stood up and asked, "What do you mean missing? Is he not at the Duke's Mansion or has he gone out for something?"

The maid then explained, "The Imperial Master left three days ago and hasn't returned since. She also didn't leave any message to the servants in the mansion."

Empress Dowager Ci was stunned, and then she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

But she just couldn't put this feeling into words and could only make random associations.

If Fu Xi leaves, where should he go?

Speaking of which, Fu Xi's arrival surprised her. From the beginning when she was worried that Fu Xi was an undercover sent by the Queen to now when she and her son got what they wanted, it all felt like a dream.

Fu Xi's role in this is at least 40%.

After the matter was accomplished, Fu Xi did not even ask for any reward, as if he had appeared out of nowhere to help him accomplish great things.

"this……"

"Given the ability of the Imperial Master, perhaps he doesn't want to worry about these mundane matters, so he has retired again. Let's just ignore it for now."

Waving her hand to signal the maid to leave, Empress Dowager Ci said nothing more.

Fu Xi's departure made her a little unhappy, but fortunately the internal situation of Da Qi was not too bad now.

She slowly stabilized her power, and the court should soon be stable, and the battle with An Guo would also continue to move forward.

…

It was a dark and windy night, and the defeated group looked particularly miserable, but there was endless anger and unwillingness in everyone's eyes.

These people were none other than Prince Chen Luo of Qi and his subordinates who had just escaped capture.

Seeing the towering city wall not far ahead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the guards then spoke respectfully:

"Your Highness, Shunning City is just ahead. The commander of Shunning City is trustworthy and will surely obey your orders."

"Well, this prince knows."

Chen Luo sat down beside the official road, but he didn't even turn his head towards Shunning.

He was very tired at this time, but his fierce eyes were still looking towards Shengjing.

"How dare a bitch be so bold as to defile the harem and seize the great treasure!"

"And this prince's eighth brother, you're so weak and incompetent, you're no use to me. Yet you still dare to harbor extravagant ambitions for the crown prince's position. Da Qi will perish in your hands sooner or later!"

"If this prince doesn't avenge this, I will not be a human being!"

After swearing fiercely, he leaned on the sword in his hand and tried to stand up, but for some reason, a woman suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sudden appearance of this woman scared everyone around her, and they all raised their weapons towards her.

Fu Xi glanced at them coldly and disdainfully.

Her body passed straight through the weapon and walked in front of Chen Luo.

When everyone saw this woman who should have had a body being penetrated directly, they were all shocked.

It’s the middle of the night now, did you see something dirty?

Not to mention the guards, even Chen Luo, who was knowledgeable and considered himself experienced, was frightened and took a few steps back by supporting himself on the ground.

"You...you...don't come over here!"

Fu Xi ignored his plea for mercy and suddenly said:

"Your Highness, I have come here specifically to help you restore your kingdom!"

...Restoration of the country?

Chen Luo was so frightened that he almost fell into the ditch, but when he heard this, he suddenly perked up and began to observe the woman in front of him carefully.

"Restore the country? That's ridiculous. Although this prince doesn't know who you are, the mother and son are only safe for the time being. When the emperor's army returns, they will definitely not be spared. Why should this prince worry?"

Chen Luo was basically hunted by Empress Dowager Ci every day on his way north. Although he did not fight with Empress Dowager Ci's army after escaping from Shengjing, he still had to sleep in the open air.

This group of people has not been able to contact Emperor Yangwu in Nankang City so far, and has no idea about the major events in the court.

There was no way of knowing that Emperor Yangwu had already passed away, and Emperor Changhe had already ascended the throne in a hurry.

Fu Xi didn't want to waste any more words, so he raised his hand and a picture formed in the night sky.

Everyone present, including Chen Luo, was shocked, but they soon realized that the light screen in front of them was a recording of a certain scene.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not afraid, so the guards did not dare to leave easily.

The scene on the screen was the death of Emperor Yangwu, and the subsequent rebellion of the Nankang City Imperial Guards who turned around and supported Empress Dowager Ci and her son.

The empress was escorted back to the palace with the late emperor's coffin.

However, after the queen returned to the palace, the powerful Empress Dowager Ci naturally could not tolerate her. Although the queen was already the former empress dowager on the surface, she was secretly imprisoned in the cold palace, and her food, clothing and other expenses were even worse than those of the servants in the palace.

Chen Luo's face changed the moment he saw his father suddenly die after drinking that cup of tea, not to mention the humiliation he later saw his biological mother suffer when she was banished to the cold palace.

For a moment, the prince was unable to bear such a great blow. He felt grief in his heart and his eyes were bloodshot.

The soldiers who also saw this scene clenched their fists, wishing they could help His Highness kill the vicious mother and son.

"This damned witch! My father has always been so fond of her, yet she turned out to be such a vicious lady, daring to poison my father and imprison my mother!"
