Chapter 397 You Should Have Married Him

February 29th, the 25th year of Mingshun.

The Queen Mother and the Cui family were found to have committed crimes such as treason, nepotism, and murder of loyal and honest people.

After Empress Dowager Cui was demoted to a commoner, she was given poisoned wine and was not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death.

The entire Cui family was punished and the rest were exiled.

Everyone was shocked and surprised by this move.

Because everyone couldn't understand why Queen Mother Cui wanted to rebel for no reason?

As a queen mother without a biological son, who would she take care of after the rebellion?

However, later on, several officials were found throughout the capital. These officials were spies from Xiliang, Western Regions and other places, and they all had connections with the Cui family.

In other words, if we trace back further, we will find out that it was the Empress Dowager who helped them gain a foothold in the capital.

It’s terrifying when you think about it.

There were also the deaths of many concubines in the harem.

And the death of Empress Yuan.

The last one also makes people realize that Queen Mother Cui and the Cui family are completely finished.

You say that Queen Mother Cui is ambitious, but she has never thought of ruling the country from behind the scenes.

But although she has no ambition, she has a strong desire for control.

No one can escape from her control and arrangement. Once they escape, they will want to do something.

Everyone sighed, but the matter was settled.

**

It was the first day of March and the sky was clear.

East Palace.

Lin Qingning was having people load the birthday gift prepared for the King of Northern Frontier onto the car. It was a jade screen, embroidered with a picture of fortune, wealth, longevity and immortality using gold and silver threads as well as jade decorations.

This gift looks very valuable, but no matter what the status of the King of Northern Frontier is in the court now, or the personal relationship between Lin Qingning, Chen Yan, Nalan Zhuer and others.

This gift is worth it.

After the gifts were packed, Lin Qingning and Qin Jingyu also got on the carriage together.

Lin Qingning said softly: "There is news from Qianji Pavilion. They found the whereabouts of Qingyun Zhenren in Nanhai Country."

"But this guy has some skills and escaped again."

Qin Jingyu squeezed Lin Qingning's hand and said, "Bai Lansheng, this won't work. His men are not good at finding people."

Lin Qingning said helplessly: "He is a new business, but Qianji Pavilion is indeed well-informed."

Qin Jingyu: "Well, they also know that they are not good at finding people, so they plan to attract some talents from other places."

Lin Qingning: "Where?"

Qin Jingyu: "Demon Abyss."

Lin Qingning was really shocked. "Isn't Moyuan a killer organization of the Western Region Royal Family? Will they agree?"

Qin Jingyu: "On the surface, I definitely disagree, but because Diyin has lost control, and in the past year, a lot of Moyuan's business has been taken away by Qianji Pavilion."

“Some people started to rebel.”

Lin Qingning: “…”

The reason why the flute sound could no longer control those killers was that Lin Qingning and Doctor Bai had developed a method of combining piano sound and acupuncture, which successfully prevented Mo Yu from being controlled by Mo Yuan's flute sound again.

Then, they spread this method to the public.

Because of this, the Western Region Demon Abyss was extremely angry.

Lin Qingning worriedly asked, "Will that directly stimulate the Western Regions to join forces with Xiliang to attack Da Chu together?"

Qin Jingyu: "The Western Region wants to, but they don't dare. Because they were already badly hurt before, and this time they still have to deal with the traitors in the Demon Abyss."

Qianji Pavilion took advantage of this time to fish in troubled waters, making the water in the Western Region even more muddy.

After hearing this, Lin Qingning felt relieved.

That's good.

Da Chu has now begun preparations to attack Xiliang, and no unexpected events can occur at this time.

However, when she thought that the one leading the army this time was still Qin Jingyu, Lin Qingning couldn't help but worry again.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Northern Frontier Palace. The Northern Frontier King, Chen Ya and others were already there to greet them.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Qin Jingyu held Lin Qingning's hand, and after getting off the carriage, he walked up to the King of Northern Frontier and stretched out his hand to help him up.

"King of Northern Frontier, please stand up quickly. Today is your birthday. As for other matters, I will follow your wishes."

The King of Northern Frontier raised his head and looked at Qin Jingyu with mixed feelings.

In fact, a long time ago, when Qin Jingyu was still Lu Jingyu, the King of Northern Frontier had admired him very much.

At that time, Lu Jingyu was a talented person in both literature and martial arts since he was young. Even though he was raised carelessly by his foolish father Lu Changhui, he was not raised in a wrong way.

The King of Northern Frontier had said to his son more than once, "When will you be as good as Jing Yu?"

Now think about it, he's the Crown Prince, there's no way I can compare to him, there's no way I can compare to him.

And who could have thought that the kid who was thrown into the military camp to train when he was just a teenager would become so outstanding today?

Qin Jingyu wanted to talk to the King of Northern Frontier about the situation in the northern border, while Lin Qingning followed Chen Yan and Nalan Zhuer to the women's side.

The King of Northern Frontier is now in great form, and many people came to celebrate his birthday today.

The house was packed with guests and it was very lively.

Nalan Zhu'er is now more than six months pregnant. Although her belly has grown a lot, she walks very fast. Lin Qingning has to walk faster to keep up with her.

She smiled helplessly and said, "Walk slowly."

Nalan Zhu'er: "It's okay, my stomach isn't heavy, I'm just happy to see you here, and the baby in my stomach is happy too!"

Lin Qingning smiled after hearing this.

Along the way, people kept bowing to Lin Qingning.

Then, Lin Qingning saw the wife of Marquis Guangping walking with several other women.

The wife of Marquis Guangping had lost a lot of weight. She used to be a very stern person, but now she seemed to have changed and looked at people with a timid look.

Especially when he saw Lin Qingning, he looked very frightened.

"Greetings, Crown Princess." She bowed along with everyone else.

Lin Qingning raised her hand, then followed Chen Ya and the others inside.

Lady Guangping Hou stared at her back for a long time, unable to move her eyes away.

If you have any regrets, there is no need to mention it anymore.

Because not treating the Crown Princess who lived in their mansion well in the beginning has become the most regretted thing for everyone in their mansion.

In fact, as Lin Qingning's status became higher and higher, everyone in Guangping Marquis's Mansion was very worried.

Worried that she would retaliate.

From abuse and bullying since childhood to being replaced in marriage later... adding all the things together, it would be justified for Lin Qingning to retaliate against them.

Unfortunately she didn't.

And precisely because she did nothing to the Guangping Marquis Mansion, everyone in the Guangping Marquis Mansion will live in deep guilt and regret for the rest of their lives...

Lin Qingning, Chen Ya and Nalan Zhuer entered a flower hall. It was quiet because they were the only ones there.

Chen Ya: "I left a message for the concierge. When Jiamin and Shuhe arrive, they should come directly here."

"Let's have a good talk, sisters."

Lin Qingning: "Aya, did you take the medicine I prescribed for you last time seriously?"

Nalan Zhu'er covered her mouth and laughed, "I can testify that she ate it, but she was afraid of the bitterness, so she asked the servants to buy a lot of sweet and sour candies."

Chen Ya looked at her helplessly, "Why didn't you tell me that you snatched away a lot of sweet and sour candies on the way? If I were to say, you must be having a son this time."

Nalan Zhu'er's pretty face sank, "Humph, it must be a daughter! I don't care! If I give birth to a son, I will dress him up as a daughter!"

Chen Ya: “…”

Lin Qingning raised the corner of her mouth slightly and held Chen Ya's hand, "Aya, let me check your pulse."

Chen Ya sat up immediately and stretched out her hand.

Lin Qingning: "The medicine at this stage is a bit strong. You should continue to take it for another two months, and then we will change the prescription according to your condition."

Chen Ya nodded.

In fact, she had lost hope in her body.

But the sisters tried their best to take care of her body. Whether they could get married in the future was another matter, but the irregularity of her menstruation would eventually affect her.

After a while, Princess Jiamin and Wei Shuhe also arrived.

Several people were talking about the fact that many people wanted to marry into Chen Ya's family recently.

Princess Jiamin laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "We were listening to storytelling in a teahouse that day, and a scholar composed a love poem for Aya on the spot, hahahaha."

Nalan Zhuer expressed regret, "I didn't hear it."

Princess Jiamin: "I didn't write it down this time, I will recite it for you next time."

Chen Ya deliberately put on a fierce face, "Jia Min, can you recite one for me?"

Wei Shuhe was the quietest among the group, so she just sat quietly by and listened to the sisters chatting.

After a while, the birthday banquet began and everyone moved to the main banquet hall.

The butler sang the birthday gifts sent by everyone, and then asked the drama troupe to prepare a big play, with singing, dancing, music and other performances, which was very lively.

The King of Northern Frontier was very happy the whole day and couldn't stop smiling.

However, when he sees the outstanding Crown Prince beside him, a hint of melancholy flashes across his eyes.

In fact, he had planned to betroth Aya to Jing Yu, but before he could mention this to Lu Changhui, Emperor Minghe proposed that Aya marry the third prince.

The King of Northern Frontier cannot refuse Emperor Minghe.

Because he also knew that he had a large number of troops under his command, and the Chen family army was guarding the northern border.

Their daughter was destined to enter the palace.

Moreover, he comforted his daughter at that time, saying that His Majesty valued the third prince the most, and if nothing unexpected happened in the future, the third prince would sit in that position.

However, accidents didn’t just happen.

It's ridiculous too!

The King of Northern Frontier only found out later that if the two children had not been switched, then Jing Yu would have been the third prince!

But who could have thought of it?

Because of what the Su family did to help Su Tanxin, many people's lives were changed.

The birthday party was a great success.

The King of Northern Frontier brought Chen Ya and others to send the Crown Prince and his wife onto the carriage. Watching the carriage slowly go away, the King of Northern Frontier turned around and slowly walked back.

Chen Ya supported him, "Dad, you are exhausted today, go back to your room and rest early."

After fighting for so many years, the King of Northern Frontier was covered in wounds.

But those injuries were all his merits.

The King of Northern Frontier patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, Divine Doctor Bai has examined me. Those injuries are not serious. I don't have anything else to do next. I will just rest well in the capital."

After hearing this, Chen Ya was indeed relieved.

But the King of Northern Frontier sighed again:

"Now I am not worried about anything but your marriage."

"If Jingyu hadn't been swapped, he would have been the one you should have married!"
