The Third Prince held a sword in his hand, his expression ferocious. "Prince Ming, what are you doing? My father's body is still warm, and you're bringing people into the palace?"
Prince Ming waved his hand, speaking with a completely righteous look, "Hey, Third Prince, why do you say that? I came to the palace to support the new emperor. My virtuous son Fengchen was the next new emperor unanimously chosen by the ministers in the court. Third Prince, please don't make any mistake."
The Third Prince was so angry that a taste of rust came into his mouth. He glanced at Prince Ming, then at the Lu family army that had surrounded his men, and knew that his situation was hopeless.
But he was unwilling to give up. His father had clearly prepared everything for him. Feng Chen poisoned the emperor, so he could easily take him down and then ascend the throne smoothly.
But no matter how much he planned, he had not taken into account Prince Ming.
It’s just one step away, just one step!
The Third Prince threw his head back and laughed, his laughter filled with reluctance.
After laughing for a while, the Third Prince stopped, raised the sword in his hand, and cut his own throat.

Three days later, the new emperor of Si State ascended the throne, named his princess Mu Qingli as empress, and issued a general amnesty.
On the official road outside Kyoto, a carriage was traveling. The carriage was decorated in a low-key and luxurious style. A man in black was driving the carriage in the front, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the carriage behind from time to time.
"Sister Lu, is Jiangnan fun?"
Wanyue stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, thought about it for a moment, and gave her answer, "It's quite fun. There are many famous delicacies."
Shen Meiqing grinned and said, "So eating is the important thing, right?"
Wanyue finished a candied fruit and put another piece of cake into her mouth. Her eyes fell on Shen Meiqing. "We don't know how long we'll be gone. We might not come back. Are you sure you want to come with us?"
Chen Meiqing leaned over and clasped one of Wanyue's hands, nuzzling her head against her shoulder. "I said I'd always be with Sister Lu, unlike a certain new queen who abandoned Sister Lu for a man."
Chen Meiqing started to slander Mu Qingli as usual. It would be better if that woman didn't come with her, then no one would compete with her for Sister Lu!
It was not until later that Shen Meiqing realized that she was still too naive. Mu Qingli did not come to compete with her for Sister Lu, but there was always a guard named Feng Shiwu guarding Sister Lu. As long as he was there, she could not get close to Sister Lu at all!
Oops, that was too hasty.
