King Jing was very worried and asked his ministers for help. Seeing that they ignored him, he said anxiously:

"I am the late emperor's favorite son."

The ministers of King Jing's faction were all trying to avoid suspicion at this moment. Now that the victory or defeat had been decided, they dared not help King Jing anymore. King Jing was the favorite son of the late emperor, but not their favorite son.

Besides, a new emperor appoints new ministers. The late emperor is gone, and they cannot just serve him. The late emperor cannot give them promotions or wealth now.

If Prince Jing wants to avoid being implicated by Concubine Jing, the late emperor must issue another will to protect him.

Obviously, not this time.

Seeing King Jing struggling desperately like a trapped beast, Gu Chengzuo slowly spoke:

"Since King Jing is from Miaojiang, then send him back to Miaojiang."

"I've asked Prince Jing to pass on a message to the Miaojiang region. The Miaojiang region has gone to great lengths to overthrow my throne. They've exploited Concubine Jing's inside information to bully the people of the border region more than once. I will not let this go."

"Also, have Minister Su reinstated to his post and immediately prepare for the war with Miao."

"I'm not going to Miaojiang, my royal brother. You can't take revenge on someone else. You're obsessed with sex, and my father won't let you go."

King Jing struggled hard. He went to Miaojiang and started a war with Miaojiang right after. His identity was so sensitive that Miaojiang would definitely not tolerate him.

Gu Chengzuo had a grim expression, but in fact he also had his own selfish motives.

After all, King Jing had an engagement with Dan Ruo, and he also had a love-hate relationship with Qi Yizhi and the other two, so it would be better for King Jing to send him as far away as possible. As for sending him away, he would start attacking Miaojiang, and it would be none of his business how Miaojiang would treat him at that time.

King Jing was so angry that he wanted to use Gu Lin to block him and threaten the soldiers who were trying to capture him. Gu Lin burst into tears, and his little face was covered with tears.

The whole person was in a mess, struggling hard in the air.

Because King Jing lifted him up high and threatened that if Gu Chengzuo did not change his mind, he would throw Gu Lin to death, as Gu Lin was the eldest grandson of the late emperor.

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked by King Jing's shameless behavior. After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

Gu Chengzuo laughed angrily, "Go ahead and try it. If you throw him, your crime will be even more serious. You will be shackled all the way to Miaojiang."

King Jing was holding Gu Lin, and he didn't know whether to throw him away or put him down. The soldiers took advantage of his stunned moment, snatched Gu Lin away, and then subdued King Jing.

Gu Lin was so frightened that he cried uncontrollably and had a fever for several days and nights. The imperial physician said that his life was hanging by a thread.

Originally, he was to be sent to Miaojiang with King Jing. When the ministers learned that he was seriously ill, they pleaded for mercy. Gu Chengzuo did not want to listen to the ministers' advice to keep this dangerous child under Danruo's wing, so he sent Gu Lin directly to the exiled Qi Yizhi.

There will be no problem as the child is raised by his biological mother, and it also shut the ministers up.

After dealing with Prince Jing and Concubine Dowager Jing that day, the officials who had been most active this time were also implicated, and there was a major reshuffle in the court.

The noble families who wanted to make a fortune by establishing a young ruler all failed this time.

Gu Chengzuo had already admitted that day that he had been secretly plotting against him by Concubine Jing for many years and that he had indeed never touched any of the concubines in the harem. He then released all the concubines from the palace and instructed the families not to embarrass the women who returned home.

When the women in the harem heard the news, they were surprised and happy. If the emperor had never touched them, then their life-and-death fights would be a joke.

They wanted to hate Gu Chengzuo, but they didn't dare, so they could only blame everything on Concubine Jing.

For those who did not want to leave the palace, Gu Chengzuo allowed them to live out their days in the palace, but moved them to a temporary palace outside the capital, for fear that they would have the intention of harming Danruo and the child again.

Officials were unsettled by the incident.

The palace was filled with joy, for no other reason than that Gu Chengzuo was getting married and would bring the empress, the eldest son and the eldest daughter into the palace.

Danruo took her two children to live in the Su Mansion to wait for her marriage.

After hearing their husbands' accounts of what happened that day, many female relatives became very curious about Danruo, the future queen, and tried to curry favor with her.

Because the position of this queen is so stable, the harem has now been dismissed by the emperor, and she has two children by her side, it is no surprise that she will be the future empress dowager.

Normally, it would be difficult for them to enter the palace to pay homage to the Queen. Some of them had low ranks and did not even have the chance to show their faces in front of the Queen. Now that the Queen has not entered the palace yet, they all wanted to give it a try by delivering a letter to the Su Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Danruo actually accepted their posts, chatted with them cordially, discussed parenting experiences, and shared tips on pregnancy.

The reputation of the future queen's virtue spread quickly, and even the children on the streets knew that the Su family had a good queen.

Sudanying felt as if needles were stabbing her heart when she heard this. If she had entered the palace at that time, everything today would belong to her.

Wushang suffered a lot in prison and was ill for a long time, so Sudanying hired a carriage and took him back to the capital to recuperate.

Wushang was devastated by this incident and wanted to return to the Valley of Divine Doctors to escape from the world, but Sudanying said frankly that for the sake of her child, she wanted her child to stay in the capital and receive a good education.

Yes, it was Sudan Ying who rescued Wushang that time. After fainting, she discovered that she was more than a month pregnant.

Wu Shang wanted to take care of the pregnant woman's emotions, so he and Sudan Ying rented a small courtyard in the capital. He found a clinic and went there to see patients every day.

Sudan Ying revealed the news of her pregnancy to Mrs. Su.

Two days later, Mrs. Su came to see her in person in disguise, bringing her supplements such as bird's nest, as well as gold locks and underwear for children.

After reading these things, Sudan Ying asked Madam Su without giving up:

"My sister is now the queen because of me. Doesn't she have any feelings for the baby in my belly?"

Mrs. Su looked at her little daughter with a distorted face. She hadn't seen her for more than a year, and she had become so paranoid. She even believed that her eldest daughter's current situation was all because of her, and that the things her eldest daughter had given her were wasted.
