"You are not Long Yaodong's concubine?" asked the leader.
Cai Muge shook his head: "No, absolutely not!"
"Who took Cai Mushi away?" the leader asked again.
"Cai Tingzhou, he threatened my mother's life and asked me to die in place of Cai Mushi. I don't want to die. The person who deserves to die the most is Cai Mushi." As he spoke, Cai Muge kowtowed, "Please, sir, save me!"
The leader was undecided for a moment, but after thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and said, "Take the rest of the people away, and this girl will follow me to the general."
When Du Mizhen was taken away with her hands tied, she smiled at Cai Muge: "Don't let Cai Mushi live. If she lives, you can't live."
As long as Cai Mushi dies.
Her fight with her finally came to an end.
Soon, Cai Muge was brought to Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian.
The team leader reported everything he knew: "General Pang, General Yan, I don't know how to handle this matter."
Yan Bojian narrowed his eyes and said, "This girl is definitely not Cai Mushi. She was abandoned by the Cai family and is here to be a scapegoat."
The leader asked, "What should we do now? Should I go to the Cai family and capture Cai Mushi?"
"Cai Tingzhou dared to do this, he must have taken advantage of some loophole." Pang Gaozhuo sneered, "As for what loophole..." He looked at the leader, "Go to Cai's house and arrest him. See how Cai Tingzhou tries to argue. If you can successfully capture Cai Mushi, bring him back."
"yes."
The leader and his men took the order and left.
When he arrived at Cai's house, Cai Tingzhou came out to greet him personally.
"Young General, the Cai family will certainly obey the emperor's decree, but the document on the canonization of the concubine states that she is a daughter of the Cai family. Cai Muge is indeed a concubine. As for Cai Mushi, she moved into Long Yaodong's residence because she loved him. The servants thought that the legitimate daughter was the concubine, which led to such a big misunderstanding."
"Where is the document?" The leader felt overwhelmed.
He was a military officer, and he was no match for this kind of experienced civil servant.
Cai Tingzhou then showed him the document with the seal on it.
The leader took a quick look and had to return empty-handed with his men.
When we returned to the camp, it was already daybreak.
The Longfeng lineage has been basically wiped out. Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian are preparing to go to the palace to pay their respects and report the process and results of the purge to Fu Ciyi.
Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian were not surprised when they learned that their leader had returned empty-handed.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Cai Muge. This girl will be useful if she keeps her." Yan Bojian ordered.
"Yes, General Yan." The leader responded.
When Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian arrived at the palace, almost all the royal family members and civil and military officials were there.
Eunuch Song produced the late emperor's will, and the highly respected old prime minister read aloud: "...Long Yi ascends the throne as Emperor Dajing. I decree this..."
The people kneeling below only felt that these words were pronounced most clearly by the old prime minister.
All present paid homage to the emperor and his subjects, shouting, "Long live the emperor!"
From this moment on, Long Yi took over the imperial power.
He nodded, raised his hand and said, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" everyone cheered again.
The royal family went to keep vigil, while the ministers surrounded Long Yi and discussed the important state affairs of the past two days.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian came to Fu Ciyi.
The threesome went to the corner.
Yan Bojian told Cai Tingzhou that he wanted to use Cai Muge to replace Cai Mushi's death.
"The main reason was that the document in Cai Tingzhou's hand didn't specify who would be the concubine, so he took advantage of this loophole."
"It's ridiculous. It's very clear who the concubine is." Fu Ciyi shook his head.
"So what should we do now?" Pang Gaozhuo asked.
"Don't worry." Fu Ciyi said lightly.
Now that he and Ningning have embarked on a different path from before, Ningning is bound to encounter more difficult problems.
He might as well give her a try.
So he took Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian to her side.
Yan Funing was a little confused: "Why are you looking at me like this? Do you have anything to say?"
After listening to her third brother's story, she said, "Cai Muge hates Cai Mushi so much, so let's give her a chance and see what she will do."
"That's feasible." The three men said in unison.
The four of them kowtowed before the late emperor and then left the palace.
--
On the other side, the Queen Mother was wiping tears in the palace.
When she thought that the future emperor was the concubine dowager's son, she was afraid that her life in the palace would be difficult, and her heart was extremely miserable.
Just then, Eunuch Mo came over.
"Empress Dowager, news has come from the Princess's residence that Prince Chi fainted several times upon hearing the news of the Emperor's death."
"His filial piety is evident!" the Queen Mother raised her head and asked loudly, "Emperor, Chi Ancai is related to you by blood. Look how filial he is."
Then she thought that she would only have Long Shuyun's family to rely on from now on, so she told Eunuch Mo: "Go find Long Yi. I have something to say to him."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Eunuch Mo responded and left.
More than half an hour later, he brought Long Yi to the Queen Mother.
"What does my mother want to see me about?"
The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this: "When your brother was alive, he didn't even dare to call himself 'I' in front of me. You really can do it."
"May I ask what is the matter, Mother?"
Long Yi wanted to say that he was not her son, so naturally he could not call himself a minister or a son.
Being able to respectfully call her mother is already giving face to the emperor.
The Queen Mother snorted, "Chi An fainted several times because he heard that his great uncle had passed away. His filial piety is evident. You are also his uncle. Now that you sit on the throne, you should make him a king."
"He is already a prince. Does your mother mean to remove the word 'county'?"
"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded.
