The famine caused by locusts has caused great concern among the people.

Zhao Wuan was ordered to open the national treasury and distribute the disaster relief grain.

However, the troops escorting the disaster relief supplies were attacked shortly after leaving Sheng'an.

All the food in the truck was destroyed.

The food supply was delayed and the victims were complaining. Xu Nanheng was almost overwhelmed by the memorials.

At the morning court session, civil and military officials argued fiercely over the burning of disaster relief supplies, and some of Yang Chaoxue's people were among them fanning the flames.

How could Xu Nanheng not see it, but he didn't expect Yang Chaoxue to be so brazen.

Public opinion began to turn against him, and there was an endless stream of condemnations against the emperor.

The court officials were hesitant and Xu Nanheng had a vague feeling that something was out of control.

The incident caused by the disaster relief grain made him so angry that he vomited blood and fainted in front of all the civil and military officials.

For a time, the court was in chaos.

Only the harem was peaceful.

Yang Chaoxue listened calmly to Ningxue's report on the morning court session.

"Very good, the first step of the plan has been successful. Is the poison sure not to take Brother Nan Heng's life?"

Ning Xue said honestly, "Lord Qi said that these are just things that damage the blood and qi, and will not harm your life. Since Your Majesty does not want to hurt His Majesty, why do you want to go against him?"

"I have no choice."

The people of King Suli's party were very dissatisfied with Xu Nanheng's ascension to the throne. Qi represented all the people of King Suli's party and came to her half a month ago to ask about the counterattack. She had a hard time fooling them.

They were determined to revive the title of King Suli, and as the only descendant of King Suli, she would not be satisfied until she sat on the throne.

But she couldn't appear as a man right now, otherwise it would arouse suspicion from those in the court.

Therefore, Yang Chaoxue could only explain herself by depriving Xu Nanheng of his power.

Soon, the palace maid ran in with her head down and whispered something in Ningxue's ear.

Ning Xue's eyes narrowed slightly: "My Lady, several adults are here."

"Well, let them in."

Xu Nanheng vomited blood and fainted in front of all the civil and military officials. Now that there is no one in charge, the court will be in chaos, and this is exactly the result that Yang Chaoxue wanted.

She appeared at the most turbulent time, took charge of the power, and used her strength to make these ministers obey her.

"To the Empress."

"Ministers, please excuse me."

Yang Chaoxue smiled warmly and raised her hand tentatively.

"Your Majesty is still in a coma. As the queen of a country, I cannot sit idly by and watch the court in chaos."

"The destruction of disaster relief supplies is unforgivable. Master Zhan needs to take more care to find the culprit."

Zhan Lin looked at her silently: "Yes."

Among the ministers who came, except Zhan Lin, Zhao Wuan and Wang Anlin, the rest were all her people.

"As for the matter of the disaster victims..." Yang Chaoxue looked at her father, "I'll leave it to Lord Yang to arrange. To prevent further incidents, I will draft an imperial decree and let General Yu accompany us."

Yang Yanbin's eyes were filled with astonishment and he quickly lowered his head: "I obey your command."

All that remained was a matter of appeasing the people, which Yang Chaoxue did with ease and resolved in just a few words.

Several ministers praised the empress endlessly and left the palace, intending to spread the empress's good name.

This is how Yang Chaoxue's reputation was built up among the court officials.

Now that the situation has been determined, Xu Nanheng is the new emperor of Yu Dynasty. No matter how he got to this position, what should have happened has already happened.

These court officials are loyal to the Yu Dynasty, and as long as the Yu Dynasty is stable, it is the best.

These rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys of Sheng'an.

Although Cui Huaiji was not in Sheng'an, he was fully aware of everything that happened in Sheng'an.

Yu Qin, who had originally planned to go to Sheng'an to meet Song Jin, now stood beside Cui Huaiji, and looked at Yu Dingnan who was escorting the disaster relief supplies with him.

"Isn't General Yu worried that something might happen to her?"

Yu Qin still believed in his daughter on this point.

"Anan has been with me in battle for many years. She is more than capable of dealing with Yang Chaoxue's tricks. It is better for her to leave Sheng An so that I don't have to worry about her in the future."

Although he said he was disgusted, the relief in his eyes was about to burst out.

Yue Yuqin was very satisfied with his daughter.

Let him be, he is skilled in martial arts, smart and patient.

But then again, he should have asked these questions to Cui Huaiji.

"I should be asking you, you're leaving Sheng'an like this, aren't you afraid that the Lord of Junning County won't be able to handle it?"

Cui Huaiji was also confident about her.

"General Yu, don't underestimate her. With her intelligence, she knows what I'm thinking. With her by Sheng An's side, our plan can go smoothly."

These words are almost praising Song Jin to the sky.

Yu Qin couldn't understand how a businessman without any martial arts skills or power could help them complete their plan.

If I remember correctly, Song Jin is being hunted in Sheng'an right now.

"Sheng An is surrounded by Yang Chaoxue's people. Can Meng Shu protect her?"

Cui Huaiji did not comment: "She is the master behind the Zhaiyue Tower, and her intelligence network is no less than ours. General Yu may not know that she holds a Beidi elite weapon in her hand?"

Northern Di?!

Yu Qin was completely shocked.

A daughter of a merchant, being made the county lord would be enough, but she is also the master of the huge Zhaiyue Tower and has the elite of Beidi? !

It's because he is so ignorant.

Yu Qin sighed: "This world is really beyond my comprehension."

No wonder Anan praised Song Jin in front of him for a while.

I see…

*

The problems of the disaster victims were alleviated, and Yang Chaoxue's status in the hearts of the people rose sharply.

During the time when Xu Nanheng was in a coma, she went to the court and solved all the problems with her own talents.

Although women are not allowed to participate in politics, the situation is different now. She is the queen of a country, so it is most appropriate for her to come forward at this time.

Then the old ministers couldn't stand it anymore.

Some people even started to mention several princes.

This is really like talking about something irrelevant.

Everyone knows that the prince is imprisoned by Xu Nanheng, and there is no way he will be released to threaten Xu Nanheng's position.

That leaves only one prince - the eleventh prince.

If you ask the ninth prince Xu Shi'an, since he was poisoned last time, the remaining poison has never been completely cleaned up, and he died long before Xu Nanheng rebelled.

An insignificant prince, no one cared even if he died.

All the affairs after death were dealt with hastily.

It's also pitiful and lamentable.

The eleventh prince was only eleven years old, and these old ministers frequently mentioned him, which undoubtedly made Yang Chaoxue want to kill him.

She originally had no idea about the child.

What threat could a half-grown child pose? But she forgot that no matter how young Xu Mu was, he was still a prince with royal blood, and was more convincing than her, the queen.

Yang Chaoxue has been planning for so long, how could he be willing to give up power?

It can only wake up the unconscious Xu Nanheng.

Looking at Xu Nanheng who was slowly waking up, Yang Chaoxue sneered.

What would happen if she woke up? All power in the court has fallen into her hands.

"What did you do?"

Xu Nanheng looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who did not obey his orders, and yelled at Yang Chaoxue angrily.

The eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground in a wailing voice.

Yang Chaoxue waved, and they retreated in an instant.

It was as if she was their emperor.

Xu Nanheng was so angry that he coughed up blood.

"Zhao Xue! What on earth are you going to do?!"

Yang Chaoxue said coldly: "Brother Nanheng, don't you understand? I want power, a position that no one can interfere with! If it weren't for those old stubborn people looking down on me, maybe Brother Nanheng would have been in a coma for some time."

"But it doesn't matter if he wakes up. Brother Nanheng can continue to be his own emperor with peace of mind. Leave everything to me. I will help Brother Nanheng solve all the problems."

This is to undermine him!

How could Xu Nanheng allow her to usurp the throne he had worked so hard to obtain!

"No, ahem!"

Although the poison is not life-threatening, it can damage the body. During the days when Xu Nanheng was in a coma, his body was severely depleted and he needed a lot of nourishment to recover.

Yang Chaoxue let him wake up just to shut up those ministers.

The poison needs to be continued.

Now Xu Nanheng is no longer able to resist her.

Yang Chaoxue didn't want to stay any longer.

"Brother Nanheng, please rest early. I will kill those soft-hearted people for you."

Xu Nanheng covered his chest and coughed softly. Hearing this, he looked at her in disbelief: "No!"

He suddenly stood up from the bed, but underestimated his body.

Fatigue instantly swept over my whole body.

Xu Nanheng rolled off the bed in a panic.

The only person he was soft-hearted towards was the eleventh prince Xu Mu.

Considering that he was young and posed no threat, he was imprisoned in a remote palace.

Among all the princes, only Xu Mu made him feel soft-hearted.

Perhaps, it was because Xu Nanheng looked at him and thought of his past self.

Even though they are different.

Although Xu Mu lost his mother at a young age and had no mother to accompany him, he was favored by everyone.

Xu Nanheng envied him.

"Your Majesty is tired. Please help Your Majesty go to sleep."

In the past, Yang Chaoxue might have felt sad.

But now, she has become indifferent to love.

When the eunuch heard her instructions, he hurried in with his head lowered and forced Xu Nanheng to drink the medicine he was supposed to take today.

That was not medicine at all, it was a poison that made Xu Nanheng weak.

Xu Nanheng is now regretting his decision to the point of vomiting.

He should have been on guard when he noticed that something was wrong with Yang Chaoxue!

*

Clouds are falling to the edge.

Yang Chaoxue changed into men's clothes and went to meet Shen Changqi.

Shen Changqi raised his eyebrows and took the pass token she gave him.

"Killed the eleventh prince? Although killing him would benefit us, it would obviously benefit the queen more right now. Why would you help her?"

Yang Chaoxue was wearing a hood, blocking out Shen Changqi's suspicious look.

"I can't just show up in front of those old guys. Qi, you should know that my father is a traitor, and I need a legitimate reason to show up."

The other party remained silent.

But he was staring at her.

Facing Shen Changqi, Yang Chaoxue had an indescribable feeling, as if this person knew everything, including that she was pretending.

If I had really discovered it, I wouldn't have been up and down for so many years and tried my best to help her.

So, we should still believe her, right?

Yang Chaoxue comforted herself.

Just one look was enough to make her think wildly.

Shen Changqi sneered silently. He thought this woman was so smart that she couldn't even notice that Qi had changed people.

"good."

There was obvious joy in Shen Changqi's voice.

"Anyway, keeping Xu Mu is a hidden danger. Everyone has long been dissatisfied with him. You'd better take action as soon as possible. Xu Nanheng can't be kept."

How could the child of King Suli succeed to the throne while Xu Nanheng was alive?

Shen Changqi smiled with ill intention.

He just loves to see this woman perform wherever she is.

Waved his hand.

Shen Changqi took the token she gave him and strode towards the palace where Xu Mu was imprisoned.

Midnight came quietly.

The water mist was floating up and down hazily, and the pure white moonlight seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, making it difficult to see clearly.

Qingwu arrived at the agreed handover point.

Half an hour has passed.

"Master Meng, go and see if anyone is coming."

Meng Shu nodded and was about to turn around when a carriage slowly emerged from the misty water fog.

Subconsciously, be alert.

Qing Wu didn't know whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend, so he immediately hid behind him.

"You guys are here early."

Shen Changqi's untuned voice floated through the mist.

Qing Wu remembered this voice.

Song Jin told her that she was going to meet the aide to the prince.

The brief encounter left a deep impression on her.

Because this person scared her at that time!

Qingwu will remember it.

"Where are the people?"

Meng Shu put away his sword, and Qing Wu came out from behind him.

"I knocked him out in the car."

Meng Shu jumped onto the carriage and carried Xu Mu out.

At this moment, Shen Changqi slipped to Qingwu's side.

The last time I saw her, this young lady was very timid, but quite cute.

Now when we meet again, everyone dares to come out alone to provide support.

My courage has grown a lot.

Qing Wu could feel him looking at her.

Instead of the look of disapproval that he had when he was teasing me, this time there was a little more admiration in his eyes.

For some reason, I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

I don’t know why I feel this way.

They had only met a few times.

"Now that the person has been delivered, I will go back first."

Shen Changqi looked away with some regret.

Alas, I don’t know when I will see this young lady next time.

Or maybe he would ever live to see her again.

Meng Shu ignored him and carried Xu Mu into the carriage.

Qing Wu suddenly felt the situation became awkward.

We are all on the same side, so we should not make things too unpleasant.

"Well, Lord Shen, be careful."

Um?

Shen Changqi was surprised and his eyes widened. This was the first time she spoke to him so gently.

Well, Shen Changqi felt happy.

Squinting with pleasure.

"Thank you for your concern, young lady."

Can't stay any longer.

Shen Changqi couldn't help it, so he reached out and rubbed her head. Seeing her angry look as he wished, he turned and left.

Qing Wu blushed at his sudden intimacy.

He stamped his feet in shame.

Knowing that he couldn't stay outside for too long, he had to return to the carriage in a sullen mood.

next time!

The next time she sees this guy, she will make sure her wife vents her anger!

Damn guy!
