Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...
It seems that the emperor must have known that the late emperor had a posthumous child who was still alive, but he did not expect that they were twins, a boy and a girl, instead of twins. So many innocent children died, which shows how stupid and murderous he was!
When Ye Xingzhou returned to the capital this time, he had managed to contact some loyal officials in the court. He wanted to find out the situation in the court as soon as possible and then take slow action. He did not expect Jiang Xueying to bring the two children to the capital.
Jiang Xueying is not an authentic ancient person. Now that she knows all the truth, she will not just stand by and watch. Moreover, she has been involved in the game for a long time, so it is not so easy for her to escape.
The two children naturally heard Jiang Xueying's thoughts and realized that she already knew everything, so they simply stopped hiding it and told her everything.
The three of them have been together for so long that the two children have long regarded Jiang Xueying as their own mother and will naturally obey her decisions.
Isn’t it the same for Jiang Xueying?
Fortunately, Jiang Xueying opened a food restaurant in the capital, and while making money she helped Ye Xingzhou to gather information. Because she was an excellent cook and was also proficient in modern business methods, she was naturally better at business and had a good business than the ancients.
With the excellence of modern cuisine and the support of Princess Shou, Yueying Tower soon attracted the attention of people in the palace, and Jiang Xueying was called to the palace.
This was Jiang Xueying's first time entering the palace. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous. Fortunately, the Queen had a good temper, and with the help of Princess Shou and Madam Ming, the Queen was very satisfied and accepted the recipe left by Jiang Xueying and handed it to the imperial kitchen, and also rewarded her with many valuable items.
Jiang Xueying made a lot of money during this visit to the palace. On her way back, she accidentally entered a palace and made friends with a concubine.
It might really be God's will that this concubine was actually Concubine Ming, a close friend of the mother of the two children.
At this moment Jiang Xueying finally understood that there was no such thing as fate. Her accidental intrusion was completely a deliberate arrangement by Concubine Ming, who just wanted to meet her.
After knowing the other party's intention, Jiang Xueying also made her attitude clear.
"Mrs. Dowager, now that you know my identity, what do you mean?"
"Yeah, that's right, no wonder Xingzhou chose you!"
It turned out that everything was arranged by Ye Xingzhou. After all, it was inconvenient for him, a foreign man, to enter the palace, and Jiang Xueying was just the right person. The two sides quickly reached an alliance.
On the second day, Princess Shou brought good news to Jiang Xueying. It turned out that the Queen liked Jiang Xueying's dishes very much and had a lot of praise for her as a person. She asked her to come to the palace often to keep her company.
With the Queen's words, Jiang Xueying's entry into the palace became a common occurrence.
On this day, Jiang Xueying entered the palace with a new dish she had just developed, but ran into a strange team. After asking around, she learned that this was a tribute team from a barbarian country, and she also discovered that one of the people was holding something strange.
In the middle of the night, because the Queen had to attend a banquet very late and summoned Jiang Xueying, she asked her to stay overnight in the palace.
This was exactly what Jiang Xueying was thinking. She happened to be concerned about one of the things, so she sneaked into the warehouse at night and found the thing.
It was a piece of pure white jade, looking ordinary. But when Jiang Xueying touched it, she suddenly saw a flash of white light in front of her eyes, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Xueying found herself in a strange yet familiar place. Wasn't this her space? How did she suddenly appear here?
Soon, Jiang Xueying's unexpected space was further upgraded, and another different place appeared, like an enclosed attic, and there was a secret scroll in the attic. She got the secret scroll and found out that she had traveled through a book, but she had forgotten to read it because of the long time.
Jiang Xueying revisited the original novel and found that it was a script with a male protagonist. The original owner was killed when he returned from Yexingzhou because of child abuse. Later, Yexingzhou planned to ascend to the throne through ruthless means.
Now, due to her time travel, the original work has been changed.
Jiang Xueying was shocked that she had actually traveled into a book. She quickly found the imperial edict of succession left by the late emperor based on the clues in the original work, and discovered that it was in the hands of her biological father Jiang Liting.
However, there is not much description of Jiang Liting in the original novel. It only says that he is the best assist in helping Ye Xingzhou ascend the throne, and he holds the imperial edict of succession. So... does Ye Xingzhou know about it?
Afterwards, Jiang Xueying returned to the Jiang family and tried to sound out Jiang Liting's attitude. At the same time, she also prepared to steal the imperial edict, after all, it was a crucial thing.
Since the barbarians surrendered, the emperor has imposed heavy taxes and levies on the people. Naturally, the people have suffered. The tyranny has led to the people's miserable lives, and they are full of complaints and suffering!
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yexingzhou finally united all the powerful forces to prepare for an uprising, using natural and man-made disasters to imply to the people that the emperor was immoral and unorthodox.
For a time, rumors spread among the people, all of which told of the dirty tricks the emperor used to seize the throne. Some even revealed that the emperor killed all the twins in order to kill the orphan of the previous emperor.
This incident aroused public anger. Coupled with dissatisfaction with the tyranny of the emperor, many people joined the uprising and stood up to overthrow the emperor's rule.
The originally unstable political situation became more and more turbulent, and the various forces in the court were like a pile of loose sand. Every minister in the court was in danger, fearing that they would be implicated.
The emperor was furious. Instead of reflecting on his wrong decision, he became more drastic and took a one-size-fits-all approach, killing all suspects. Naturally, this approach made more people stand against him in order to save their lives.
In this way, the power that originally belonged to the emperor was also falling apart and crumbling.
With the help of the concubine and Yu Feng, Ye Xingzhou quickly led his men to overthrow the emperor's tyranny.
What Yexingzhou didn't expect was that while the snipe and the clam quarreled, the fisherman benefited. They were almost schemed against by the barbarians, who took advantage of their internal strife to launch a sneak attack and even killed the emperor by accident.
Jiang Xueying and Ye Xingzhou knew that they must not let foreign nations take advantage, otherwise the people of the world would never have a good life again. They could only fight together with all their might to kill the enemy.
Fortunately, these barbarians finally did one good thing, which was to kill the emperor. The leaderless team was soon incorporated into Yexingzhou to fight against the barbarians who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
This battle was thrilling and after overcoming so many difficulties we finally won a great victory.
Afterwards, Jiang Xueying also revealed the true identities of the two children and took out the late emperor's abdication edict to clear the names of the two children.
After that, Ye Xiaojin officially changed his name to Shangguan Jin, and successfully ascended the throne with the support of all the ministers. Ye Xingzhou also became a veritable regent.
