Cai Muge couldn't believe it: "Dad, do you want me to die in my sister's place?"
"The current situation is dire. Given our Cai family's relationship with the deposed Crown Prince, we are bound to be implicated. At this critical juncture, the Cai family can only sacrifice one person to preserve the overall situation."
Cai Tingzhou acted like a kind father.
"Dad knows you are a good person. Don't worry, Dad will definitely do his best to rescue you."
After saying that, he signaled the maid to pull Cai Muge back to the yard.
Cai Muge struggled: "Dad, sister is your daughter, and I am also your daughter."
Cai Mushi said, "We are both daughters. I am the legitimate daughter, and you are the dispensable concubine's daughter." After a slight pause, she smiled, "No, you are a useful concubine's daughter."
At least he could die for her.
Previously, it could help her gain favor.
Cai Muge shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dad, can your conspiracy succeed? Everyone knows who the arrogant and deposed Crown Prince's concubine is."
"That's not your concern." Cai Tingzhou frowned. "If you dare to say anything in front of the Imperial Guards, your biological mother won't have to live."
Cai Muge felt cold all over when he heard this.
"So father had planned it all out. Because the imperial guards didn't recognize my sister and me, they only knew that the concubine was from the Cai family. Father was afraid that I would do something bad, so he threatened me with my aunt's life."
Tears streamed down her face, and she suddenly sneered, "Father is really calculating!"
Du Mizhen, who was watching from afar, sneered.
Sometimes she really envied Cai Mushi, because even now, her family still came to rescue her.
But as for her, her family members, in order to clear themselves, claimed that she was not their daughter.
How sad!
Only today did she understand why Yan Yingying chose an uncle to be his wife, instead of choosing Long Yaodong, the crown prince, to be his princess.
Now it has finally been proven that Yan Yingying’s choice was right.
Yuan Yi only has her as his woman, and Yan Yingying has the final say in the entire Bo Mansion.
What is power? In the eyes of women, the most important thing is the love of their husbands.
The girl from the Yan family is really smart.
It seems that Yan Funing is smarter.
Even after the divorce, she could still be Fu Ciyi's wife, but now Fu Ciyi is probably going to be Long Wenyu again.
If Long Wenyu becomes the crown prince, then Yan Funing will be the legitimate crown princess.
Compared to her, the former deposed crown princess, they are the orthodox royal family.
it's all over.
Turning back to her own courtyard, Du Mizhen really wanted to burn down the entire mansion for a moment, and die in the fire, to put an end to it all.
But why was Cai Mushi able to escape?
She refused to accept.
--
Prince Jin's Mansion, Mingzhu Garden.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing returned to their room, washed up briefly, and went to bed.
I had just fallen asleep when I was woken up.
"Young Master, Madam, it's five o'clock in the morning, time to get up."
The couple got up yawning and calculated the time. They had only slept for more than an hour.
A mourning hall will be set up in the palace today for royal family members and civil and military officials to pay their respects.
They have to get up early.
When the couple arrived at the dining room, they saw that their mother and their younger brothers and sisters had also gotten up.
Qiao Wanyou said, "Ci Yi Fu Ning, someone reported the emperor's death overnight."
Fu Ciyi turned his gaze to Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo, only to see them nod.
He then pulled Yan Funing to sit down and said, "Let's have breakfast as soon as possible."
Yan Funing said to her mother-in-law, "Mother, yesterday's events were so overwhelming. Under the auspices of the Emperor's uncle, my husband and I had no choice but to acknowledge him and call him Father."
"It's okay, it's okay." Qiao Wanyou took the chopsticks first.
Fu Ciyi added, "Today there will not only be a mourning ceremony, but he will probably be enthroned before the coffin."
"He will ascend the throne before the coffin?" Fu Beimo asked, "Does that mean he will become the new emperor today?"
Fu Ciyi nodded. "Yes, as the saying goes, a country cannot have two emperors in one day. He will definitely ascend the throne in front of the coffin. According to royal etiquette, once the mourning period is over, a coronation ceremony will be held, and he will officially ascend the throne at that time."
Fu Nanyao was surprised and asked, "Will my brother be the crown prince by then?"
"Are you anxious to become a princess?" Fu Beimo sneered.
Fu Nanyao glared at him. "What are you talking about? Now that he's the emperor, how can he avenge the past? I asked just now because I wanted to know what brother thinks."
"Stop arguing and have breakfast first." Qiao Wanyou said indifferently.
In this case, revenge would probably become empty talk.
When Long Yi becomes emperor, he will have the final say in the world.
No matter where they escape to, they are under his feet. How can the past grudges and accounts be settled?
--
When Ling received the news, she went straight to the concubine regardless of the fact that it was still dawn.
"Congratulations, aunt, on finally getting what you deserve!" She bowed deeply.
"Get up." The concubine said with a smile.
In the past, she had fought with the old woman in the palace for a long time. Later, the old woman became the empress dowager, and she could only be the concubine dowager.
Not only that, she was not even allowed to live in the palace and the old woman drove her out.
Now that she's well, she's going back.
As the Empress Dowager.
She really couldn't wait to see the old woman's expression.
Ling stood up and said with a smile, "Aunt, you will soon be the Queen Mother. In your opinion, do you think Qiao Wanyou can become the Queen?"
"Whether she can become the queen is not up to the new emperor. I also have a say. The most important thing is, who in the court or the country would agree to let a blind woman become the queen who rules the country?" said the concubine.
This was exactly what Ling wanted to hear. She supported the concubine affectionately, and the two of them sat down to have breakfast together.

At this moment, the palace has not yet begun formal condolences.
Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian led the Imperial Guards to continue to purge the rebels.
