You Said You Didn't Want to Acknowledge Me, So Why Are You Crying Now That I've Truly Cut Ties?

Yun Zhiyi always thought she was the fake young mistress who had taken another's place. After the real one returned, she held back in every way.

Only after being thrown into the mass grav...

Chapter 239 A Thunderclap in the Imperial Court

Or perhaps their lineage was broken.

Could her extraordinary abilities also be part of her inherited skills?

Fu Yuanbo took the letter, returned to his desk, and began to think quietly.

A moment later, he suddenly opened the drawer, took out letter paper, picked up a pen, and began to write a letter.

After sealing the document with wax, he ordered his bodyguards to deliver it to the palace immediately.

Just as the secret guards were rushing towards the imperial city with the letter.

At that moment, a thunderbolt struck the imperial court, sending up waves of shockwaves.

Today, a rapid report of victory suddenly arrived from the imperial court.

The above report states that His Highness Prince Cheng, leading a vanguard force at Tongxiao Pass, pierced through the southern city of Beiqiang like a sharp sword, assisting Marshal Zhou Chang in recapturing the southern city within two days. He is now continuing his southward march to recapture Jizhou City.

The nomadic tribes of the Northern Qiang had always been enemies of the Great Dynasty.

These guys are guarding a vast grassland, yet they suffer from daily food shortages and frequently raid the borders of the Great Dynasty, burning, killing, and looting.

They even took advantage of the severe natural disasters in the Great Dynasty to launch a war, raid the border, and occupy several cities.

The Great Dynasty hated these Qiang bandits to the bone, but unfortunately, it had been preoccupied with domestic affairs in recent years and was too far away to intervene effectively, so it could only fight a defensive war against them.

After news of Cheng Wang's dethronement spread this year, these guys became even more arrogant.

Although the border defense that Cheng Wang was in charge of was not the Northern Qiang side.

However, King Cheng was very famous in the Great Dynasty. Now that he has fallen from grace, the Northern Qiang are using this to boost morale and continuously send troops to invade the border.

Fortunately, Marshal Zhou Chang is still stationed at the border, but after long-term harassment and attrition, he is beginning to show signs of exhaustion.

As soon as Fu Tingchen arrived, he joined forces with Marshal Zhou Chang and launched a fierce attack.

One was responsible for charging into battle, while the other was responsible for commanding from the center.

When the two worked together, they were invincible.

In addition, the Northern Qiang people had previously used Cheng Wang to boost morale, deliberately portraying him as a true war god of the Great Dynasty.

Now that they hear that this war god has returned to the battlefield and quickly captured the southern city, morale has plummeted.

When the good news reached the capital, another good news was already on its way.

This news stunned both the imperial court and the harem.

Winning a battle is understandable.

But who do you think won the battle?

King Cheng?

King Cheng is not already deposed.

Many people hadn't seen him for a while, and some even suspected that he had died, but His Majesty didn't want to shake the morale of the army at this time, so he suppressed the news.

When the good news arrived, Emperor Kangzheng knew his father and son's plans.

He then smiled and announced in front of all the civil and military officials that King Cheng had been cured by the divine physician, had recovered his health, and had returned to the border.

This news came as a complete shock, leaving countless people in the government completely blank.

All we could do was numbly join in the praise and congratulations.

After the court session, a gust of wind blew and they were jolted awake. They quickly gathered in their respective groups to secretly discuss important matters.

Prince Cheng was originally the most likely candidate for crown prince.

His sudden removal from office gave many princes a chance.

After realizing that he was truly incapacitated, many court officials also began to switch sides during this period.

Now you tell them that King Cheng has recovered and can once again dominate the battlefield and achieve great military exploits.

For many courtiers who had chosen sides, this news was undoubtedly like a sword hanging over their necks.

This was undoubtedly a blow to the princes who had been full of confidence in their participation in the struggle for the crown prince position.

Prince Cheng's strength is evident to all, and he is also favored by the retired emperor and relied upon by his father.

He also has countless military achievements.

Now that he has recovered, he has returned to the army and regained the support of his troops.

They really couldn't think of anything they could use to compete with him.

As for whether the news is true or false, there is no need to doubt it.

Even if the good news might be fake, His Majesty's words can't be false.

The most anxious were undoubtedly the Fourth Prince's faction.

Many of them had only just taken their positions as the fourth prince.

But everyone knows that the fourth prince has no interest in the position of crown prince.

He only stepped in because of the incident involving Prince Cheng.

The two brothers have always had a good relationship.

Now that Prince Cheng has returned, he certainly won't struggle and will simply abdicate.

So what are they trying to achieve by working so hard for half a year?

On the contrary, it might arouse the suspicion of Prince Cheng.

That day, more and more people came to visit the Empress in the inner palace.

Even the Empress Dowager sent someone to inquire about it.

The Empress simply led a group of people to the Empress Dowager to explain the situation.

However, she and Emperor Zhengkang temporarily kept their mouths shut and did not reveal that it was Yun Zhiyi who saved the person.

It is only said that while traveling with the retired emperor, they were rescued by a miraculous doctor.

I didn't say anything before because I wasn't fully recovered, and I was afraid that saying it would only cause worry.

Now that people have returned to the border, things must be alright.

Regardless of whether they were truly happy or not, the concubines in the palace all offered their congratulations with smiles on their faces.

The Empress accepted them with a smile.

When they returned to the palace, they found that their youngest son had arrived at some point.

Knowing what her son had come for, the Empress's smile deepened considerably.

"Is this also about your imperial brother?"

King Qu's face showed a hint of resentment. "Mother, you and Father have kept this from me for so long. I am so distrusted by you that you didn't even tell me. I was even thinking of finding an opportunity to go to Medicine King Valley next month."

The Empress smiled and said, "It's not that I deliberately kept it from you. Only your father and I know about this. We were afraid that if too many people knew, something might go wrong."

King Qu frowned. "So what exactly is going on? Who cured my brother's illness? It shouldn't be Medicine King Valley. There is such a miraculous doctor in the world. I must prepare generous gifts and pay my respects in person."

My son is now cured.

With everyone gone to the border and her own son on the other side, the Empress no longer needed to hide anything.

They recounted how the two of them went to Lufeng City to enjoy the local delicacies, but instead encountered Yun Zhiyi and were saved by her.

"I never expected that child to have such abilities; she even saved Princess Zhao's child."

After hearing this, King Qu was stunned for a long time.

"So this is what Lufeng City is like."

He looked enlightened, his face filled with relief and joy.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, I will now prepare generous gifts and head to Lufeng City."

"Hey, wait a minute."

The Empress hurriedly pulled back her son, who was eager to leave.

"I had Xiaoqi bring a batch of thank-you gifts over earlier. Now that the matter has just been announced, it's best not to make a big fuss for the time being, lest others notice and cause trouble for Miss Yun."

Upon hearing this, King Qu frowned even more deeply.

“Even Xiaoqi knew, but she only kept it from me.”

The Empress smiled and said, "Little Seven doesn't know. It's just that Fu'an was going to look for Miss Yun, so I took the opportunity to find a pretext to send gifts in Little Seven's name. Your grandfather and brother were there at the time, so it was a good opportunity to let them keep an eye on this girl, who is getting more and more unruly."

King Qu lowered his eyelashes. "So, is the Emperor still there?"

The Empress thought he was still unhappy about being kept in the dark, so she gently coaxed him.

"It should be so. Your grandfather also likes Miss Yun very much and has written many letters praising her. She might actually become your sister-in-law. We should find a time to meet her, but now is not the time."

The King of Qu's lowered eyes were dark and cold.
