"She should have stepped down long ago. She caused me to lose my child and sent Zhu Jin to jail again. The entire royal family has lost its reputation. It is unjust for her to sit on the throne of princess!" Lian Qiao sneered and spoke hatefully. Du Zhong, who was sitting next to Lian Qiao, patted her hands.
"Don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry for someone like her. Didn't Doctor Zhu Jin tell you to rest? Don't be angry. That kind of person is not worth getting angry at." Du Zhong smiled and comforted Lian Qiao, but the sinister look in his eyes formed a sharp contrast with the smile at the corners of his mouth. As the days passed, the sinister look in Du Zhong's eyes became heavier, and the smile at the corners of his mouth became warmer.
"That's right, don't be angry. She caused you to lose a child, and she also lost one herself. Although her bastards, no matter who knows where, are not as good as our Qiaoqiao's, it is still a loss of a life!" Aunt Lian Qing laughed strangely, "I feel happy whenever I think that she failed to harm Zhu Jin and lost her own child. This is retribution! It is God's retribution to her! Just wait and see, Qiaoqiao, she will have endless retribution in the future!"
"That's right, there will be endless retribution." Du Zhong agreed, his tone inexplicable. It was not as simple as exchanging one life for another, not to mention that he was not the one who took that life. Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. He would not look for anyone but the ultimate enemy. Some grudges and hatreds could not be forgotten in a lifetime.
After going through the most tormenting period, his heart is now slowly calming down. He is ready for lifetime revenge. If one month doesn't work, then two months; if two months doesn't work, then a year; if one year doesn't work, then ten years; if ten years doesn't work, then a lifetime. He will take revenge to his satisfaction.
Du Zhong looked at Lian Qiao who nodded and changed the subject, "Aunt, is Her Majesty the Queen going to abolish Helian Zhen's position as princess?"
"I heard that the Propaganda Department is preparing to release the announcement that the Lian Chang clan elders have cancelled their princess candidacy. The next announcement will be the announcement that Princess Helian Zhen will be stripped of her title." Aunt Lian Qing suddenly sighed and smiled with regret. "Your aunt, my Queen sister, will not allow a woman like Helian Zhen to continue to stay in the position of princess, let alone become the queen."
"If Her Majesty the Queen does not take any action, there is no need for her to stay on the throne. Her performance in the past two years has been much more far-fetched." Du Zhong responded in a low voice, speaking bluntly.
"That's right..." Aunt Lian Qing was stunned for a moment before agreeing.
Of course, if they don’t take action, what’s the point of existing? Not long after, the royal family announced that the princess candidate announcement was invalid, which attracted countless sneers and countless "haha..."
At the Prime Minister's Office, the Prime Minister, whose term was about to end, was not surprised to receive a contact from Helian Lan. After greeting him in a very friendly and polite manner, Helian Lan finally stated his purpose.
The Prime Minister pretended to be surprised and asked, "Are you going to deprive Princess Helian Zhen of her title? Has Her Majesty thought of a successor? Is there a suitable successor?"
"There is no successor for now, but even if the princess's position remains vacant for a while, the current princess's position will be abolished." Helian Lan smiled warmly, always the gentle and noble queen that everyone loved. "The royal family has unanimously passed this decision, I'm telling you in advance."
"I see..." The Prime Minister laughed, "This is your royal family's decision. I don't understand a lot of it. Just make the decision."
"Such a big event can never be achieved without your support." Helian Lan continued to smile.
"Alas... Your Majesty, you are joking. I am now..." The Prime Minister spread his hands and showed helplessness, "My term of office is about to end. Now I don't have the final say."
"This..." Helian Lan didn't expect to get such an answer, but such an answer was so reasonable. Isn't it true that the Prime Minister now is the sunset?
Helian Lan had anticipated that the contact with the Prime Minister would be like this, so she knew who she could contact next. If nothing unexpected happened, the next Prime Minister would be named Li.
The surname is Li... Helian Lan was in a trance. The men of the Li family were so outstanding and excellent. The men of the Li family were so handsome and unparalleled. The men of the Li family were shining in all walks of life. No girl had ever been born in the Li family, but the wives of the men of the Li family were all beautiful and elegant as expected.
Now, the Li family has finally reached that high position.
The most outstanding third-generation grandson of the Li family works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was once the dream lover of countless girls, but he only likes Nan Nan. Once, Nan Nan, who was just growing up in her prime, also had a good impression of him, but later, because of the dispute over the prime ministership, they drifted apart, and a relationship that should have been happy ended in vain.
The Li family, which had been dormant for eight years, finally rose again. No one could stop them from rising to the sky. They didn't even need her support, they could get countless support, and everything just had to wait for the right time.
Helian Lan sat quietly for a long time before contacting the Li family's candidate for prime minister.
Time is ruthless, but it seems to be particularly tolerant to the son of the Li family. Candidate Li is already in his early fifties, but he looks only in his forties. The charm accumulated by time is unmatched. After hearing what Helian Lan said, Candidate Li was very polite.
"Your Majesty is so polite. No matter what decision you make, we, as the people of the Blue Water Planet, will only support it. If there is anything you need cooperation from, please feel free to ask."
Candidate Li's attitude was both expected and unexpected, and the smile on Helian Lan's lips did not change at all.
On March 15, 3702 AD, everything was ready and Helian Lan arrived at the general hospital.
Su Mu woke up and saw Helian Lan sitting beside the bed. He looked at her blankly, "Lan, I should go to jail..."
"She is your daughter. It is filial piety for her to suffer for you." Helian Lan helped him to press the quilt. "Whatever you say is what it is."
Su Mu's ears were buzzing and he couldn't say a word. All he could see was his eldest daughter's appearance and her words.
He asked her to help Zhenzhen with her illness, and she said, "I will, Dad. For your sake, I will."
She once asked him, "Do you want to help me or her?"
"Do you believe it? Before I lost my qualification to be reinstated, countless dirty water was thrown at me. So, I want to ask, who are you helping? For whom are you willing to betray your beliefs and atone for your sins? She once explained to him so seriously, "I know that my medicine is completely fine." "I am here to show Dad the evidence that the real princess could not have been poisoned by the medicine."
"Helian Zhen herself doesn't want a child, why should Dad force her?"
She explained everything. She said, "Dad, she was the one who wanted to destroy me first! Didn't you ever believe a word I said?"
She said she was wishful thinking...
She said, "A long time ago, when we first met, I always wanted to say that I am Zhu Jin, not Helian Nan. Your daughter Nan Nan has died long ago, and from now on, I am just Zhu Jin to you."
He slowly used his rightful fatherhood to force her to say that she was no longer Nan Nan.
In the end, he was the most ridiculous person, a prosecutor... a former prosecutor... was he qualified to be a prosecutor? His self-righteousness, his self-deception, his stubbornness, made him lose everything.
He eventually lost his eldest daughter.
"Haha..." Su Mu laughed, his face full of tears.
In the ward, the laughter that sounded like crying and laughing, mixed with sobs, lasted for a long time.
In the ward not far away, Helian Zhen looked at Helian Lan and listened to her every word. He was not disappointed and did not lose his composure. "Oh, has mom decided to destroy me?"
"Well, the announcement will be made tomorrow morning." Helian Lan came to inform, "You are virtuous, talented and virtuous, but you have nothing. You are no longer qualified to succeed the princess."
"Then who is virtuous, talented and virtuous? Does mother have any idea about the successor?" Helian Zhen asked seriously.
"This is no longer something you need to worry about. When your health is better, go to outer space with your husband Alu. After a few years, when you have children, come back to see me with them." Since they said they were getting married, Helian Lan accepted their marriage.
"Thank you, Mom, for planning my future life." Helian Zhen smiled and thanked.
After Helian Lan left, Shang Lu frowned as he looked at Helian Zhen who was still smiling, "Zhen Zhen, why are you laughing at this time?"
"There's nothing to laugh at. Since I paid a price, I have to charge some interest. I will handle this matter and you don't have to worry about it. You can continue to help me plan how to reverse the image. I think your plan is perfect." Shang Lu took action as soon as he said it. He had roughly listed the historical and cultural heritage content for reversing the image. If nothing unexpected happens, it will play a good role.
Helian Zhen smiled and sat up, put on his shoes and got out of bed, checked the time, and stopped Shang Lu and the guards from following him. "It's this late, many people are resting, I'm going to the top floor to get some fresh air, I'll be down in ten minutes."
"That won't work..." The guard shook his head.
"Really." Shang Lu also shook his head.
"I just want to be alone for a while." Helian Zhen insisted, and the smile on his face finally disappeared. Shang Lu looked into her eyes and finally nodded, "I'll pick you up in ten minutes."
After losing her child, Zhenzhen also needed someone to vent her feelings, and he shouldn't have stopped her...
Helian Zhen went to the top floor alone, looked at the dimming lights under his feet, turned on his phone, and sent an email with several documents attached, including a hospital examination report, a miscarriage report, and an embryo identification report...
Helian Zhen looked at what had happened over there and smiled. The price of a substitute could be heavy or light, but she had always asked for it to be heavy, so heavy that people would never forget it.
Helian Zhen looked at the time and saw that ten minutes were up. She turned around to go back, but found that there was one more person on the top floor, which was originally empty. A man was standing silently one meter away from her.
The face facing away from the light was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen at all.
Seeing her turn around, he seemed to smile, "Princess is different. I waited for you to act alone for a month. You broke my record."
Helian Zhen's heartbeat quickened, her palms sweated, and she felt unprecedented fear and terror. The man did nothing, but she felt the breath of death, which made her breathless and unable to scream.
"You..." She spoke with a trembling voice. She had just said one word when the man suddenly raised his hand, and the small black gun muzzle was pointed at Helian Zhen's heart.
In Helian Zhen's infinitely dilated pupils, the man's hand moved, and with a "puff..." sound, the horn of death sounded. Helian Zhen closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the arrival of death with infinite unwillingness.
The expected painful death did not come. Helian Zhen fell into the most familiar arms in a trance, but the sound of "puff..." rang in her ears again, one after another. Helian Zhen opened her eyes and saw Shang Lu hugging her tightly.
"Princess..." the guard's voice sounded.
"Call a doctor quickly, Mr. Shang Lu is injured..." In the chaos, Helian Zhen, who was supporting Shang Lu's weight, only heard Shang Lu's low sigh, "I told you to be careful..."
She had heard these words countless times...
But not once was there a nauseating smell of blood, not once was there warm, sticky red blood. Helian Zhen saw his hands full of blood...
Real blood...
