Whatever the actions of the former court and the harem are, they cannot be hidden from Emperor Feng'an. He has always respected the strong. You can plot against the third brother, but he actually caught you with the handle. What a stupid behavior!

At the same time, Empress Yang was expanding her power. Unlike Emperor Feng'an, who was ruthless towards the aristocratic families, she mostly chose to win over one faction and defeat another. Some families had a long-term vision and would not obey the Empress, but most families only saw the immediate interests and benefits.

The only person Emperor Feng'an trusted was the Empress, or in other words, he had no choice but to trust the Empress in the end.

The second prince is a fence-sitter with an unstable mind, and the third prince is narrow-minded. Moreover, these two are still young and cannot suppress the old ministers. Most of these old ministers are people from King Han's hidden residence, but Queen Yang is very familiar with these people.

She knew very well that as long as the second prince was there, the emperor would always have hope.

He then sent people to secretly assist the Third Prince and publicly expose the Second Prince, who was then exiled to Yazhou.

Yurong had a very happy year at the Wei family. Zhou Ziying took more than half a year to recover from her injuries. She hated Yurong in her heart. She had tried to hide it in front of Wei Xiang before, but later she spoke without thinking.

"Prime Minister, Yurong clearly set me up on purpose. I thought it would be dangerous for her to go, so I wanted her to be my companion. I never thought it was a trap set by her."

God is so unfair.

She is like this.

The whole family knew that it was Yang Yurong who was causing trouble, but no one stood up to seek justice for her. The second wife and her daughter were still so close to that evil concubine.

But then Prime Minister Wei said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter. She is confused because Xuan Ning is not here." In fact, Prime Minister Wei's real thought is that Empress Yang is now in power, and she knows how to deal with people better than Emperor Feng'an. She often asks people to give things to Yurong or measure her.

She is now under the Emperor's care, so Prime Minister Wei dare not do anything to Yurong.

But when Zhou Ziying heard these, his blood froze, and he even felt that all his guesses had come true.

She was afraid that the Prime Minister was really having an affair with that evil concubine, and therefore ignored her, his wife.

Oh, what a noble family, they are just a bunch of flies and dogs, snakes and rats.

"Prince Prime Minister——"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I know you've been wronged this time, and I'll give you an explanation later."

It was not easy for Prime Minister Wei to say in front of her that he was temporarily unable to fight against Empress Yang. After all, Emperor Feng'an and Empress Yang were different from the previous emperor. They were both very capable monarchs.

It's a pity that Emperor Feng'an had been poisoned and his health was not very good. Once he died, no matter how powerful Empress Yang was, she was just a woman. The Second Prince was exiled, and the Third Prince's methods were not as good as these two.

People cannot accomplish many things. When they are constrained, the best way is to be patient.

He could not mention this kind of patience to Zhou Ziying.

However, Zhou Ziying was so angry about Wei Xiang's attitude that his stomach ached.

Therefore, she also lost face with Yurong.

Just like when she greeted him in the morning, she started to talk nonsense in a weird tone, "Grandma has been married for three years now, it would be great if she could give birth to a son for the Wei family someday."

Yurong smiled and said, "You're right, I was thinking the same thing."

"It's good that you think so. Oh, I always worry about this matter. In our generation, we have the eldest son and the second son, but the eldest son cannot have only one son, right?" Zhou Ziying relied on her status as the eldest lady and felt that what she said was very appropriate.

Yurong did not respond to this. Instead, she said, "Madam, children are destiny. You can't force it."

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes again and said, "If the Madam has nothing else to do, my daughter-in-law will leave first. The aunt of Sanrufang will take the new daughter-in-law to marry in the next few days, so I have to go there."

Since Yurong took full control of the family's support, she has become a clan wife. Wei Xuanning is the eldest son of the Jingzhao Wei family, so she has begun to participate in all family affairs.

Especially during the half year when Zhou Ziying was sick and bedridden, she was in charge of almost everything.

Even many of the people Zhou Ziying had fucked were pulled out by her.

Now that you have the confidence, why bother being submissive anymore? Just be respectful on the surface.

Zhou Ziying was still angry, but it was of no use.

The term "impotent rage" probably refers to her.

If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have been fooled.

But Yurong didn't feel innocent at all. If Wei Xuanning hadn't trusted her and Emperor Feng'an was not her biological father, what kind of situation would she be in if she and the Crown Princess wrote such insulting words?

Just because all this didn't happen doesn't mean she will let her go.

Her backer, the Crown Princess, had fallen, and Zhou Ziying herself had just recovered. If she wanted to fight, she had to consider her own weight.

Who made her have a good husband who never doubted her and was always so good to her?

Of course, Wei Xuanning knew about this. He held Yurong's hand and said seriously, "I was scared when you were born. Now, you just need to take good care of yourself."

It turned out to be about this matter. Yurong smiled and said, "I know you feel sorry for me, but I want to have a child like you. You look so much like me, but I will always feel very sorry if I don't have a child like you."

Moreover, she thought that if she really succeeded to the throne, someone would have to inherit the Wei family, and one son would not be enough.

Yes, she is such a realistic person.

Wei Xuanning couldn't bear it, but he also knew why she said that, so he agreed immediately.

He lifted her up and said, "Come now."

"I have something to do now. Wait for me, tonight." Yurong looked at him with the same eyes as Hook.

Wei Xuanning scratched her nose and said, "Okay, I have things to do too."

His cold and aloof look made Yurong love him the most. Yurong held him and said, "I am busy, and you are busy too. How are you going to have a baby in the future? You are busy today, so I will accompany you."

"Okay." Wei Xuanning finally smiled on his cold face. No matter what, Yurong values ​​herself the most.

Zhou Ziying was helpless with Yurong. She was neither tolerant nor smart. Her son was not close to Old Madam Wei. Apart from Prime Minister Wei, she had no place to stand in this family.

It’s a pity that Prime Minister Wei has now handed over more power of the Wei family to Wei Xuanning, and Wei Xuanning’s wife is naturally more important than her.

Yurong would certainly not kill Zhou Ziying immediately. She had been stabbed so many times that she had already lost her foundation. Moreover, she had not yet fallen out with the Wei family, so it was impossible for her to break up with them now.

**

These days, Yurong has gradually become the leading figure in the Yang family. She carries out the orders of Queen Yang. Although she is a woman, she is eloquent and her tactics are even more vicious than those of men.

She was not afraid of Wei Xuanning's protection of the family.

Instead, they had many clever ideas, but the couple didn't reveal them to each other, and they competed with each other secretly, which was also quite interesting.

Emperor Feng'an has been feeling increasingly ill lately. He can hold on outside, but he can't handle it inside. Empress Yang has been in full control since then, and has almost all of Emperor Feng'an's support.

The only person he trusted was the Queen.

Today, Emperor Feng'an fainted after leaving court. He finally woke up and was relieved to see the Empress guarding him.

"Xianzi, I'm not afraid as long as you're by my side."

The Queen was sad: "What is the Emperor saying? The Emperor wants to grow old with me, why are you saying such discouraging words now?"

Emperor Feng'an waved his hands and said, "I know my body very well."

He held the Queen's hand and rubbed it unconsciously. When people are at their most vulnerable, they probably figure out a lot of things, especially Yurong.

He asked calmly, "What has Yurong been busy with recently? Why haven't you come to the palace for a long time?"

The queen's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but laugh: "She is the wife of the Wei family, and she is busy with the affairs of the Wei family."

"I'm afraid not, Xianzi, I told you that everything will be as you wish."

Even the queen, who was so smart, couldn't understand this sentence.

She always felt that the emperor loved her, but he loved the world and power more.

Everything was as she wished, but what she wanted was something that would go against the will of the world.

…

In the sixth year of Feng'an, Emperor Feng'an passed away. He issued an edict to appoint the empress to govern the country, and the third prince guarded the imperial tomb for him.

In that year, Empress Yang observed mourning for Emperor An, the late emperor, and changed the country's name to Yong, and declared herself king. There were people in various places who were dissatisfied, and the empress issued an order to deal with them.

The Hongnong Yang family went from being a second-rate family to being a close relative of the royal family.

This move shocked not only the whole world, but also the Wei family. Wei Rui said to Wei Xuanning, "I have already informed the historian Yu that I will submit a letter to the hen tomorrow. Empress, how can there be an empress in the world? Not to mention that the Yang family usurped the power of the Li family."

At this time, Wei Rui was a loyal minister and filial son of Qi State.

Wei Xuanning saw it clearly.

He couldn't help but say: "The Empress is broad-minded and tactful. Why should father continue to fight in vain?"

Dynasties have changed. If it were in the past, Wei Xuanning would probably be the same as his father. However, after seeing Yurong's good methods, he felt that women were not really weaker than men.

At least Emperor Feng'an had probably expected this when he arranged for the third prince to guard his tomb.

Palace

Yurong brought over some hot tea and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, it's too hot and dry in Zhuangyi Palace. You should drink some water."

The empress smiled and said, "You are very attentive. There are servants to do this job. You can just come and sit here. If you are tired, there is a place to stay and rest there."

How could she be so delicate? Yurong couldn't help but say, "If you do this, I will get used to it."

"I couldn't recognize you before, but I will give you everything in the future."

The empress looked into the distance and said to Yurong, "The late emperor also agreed to this."

The empress thought that it was not until today that she understood the late emperor's thoughts, which were to help her and Yurong get together.

In the first year of Empress Xingmao's reign, she named her clan niece Yang Yurong as the Crown Princess.

Prime Minister Wei, who was about to write a letter to scold the empress, was also stunned. He said to Wei Xuanning in disbelief, "Son, your wife is going to be the crown prince?"

Wei Xuanning pretended to be calm and said, "Yeah."

He looked at his father again: "Are you still going to school?"

"No, Dad wants to ask you, can you become the queen?"

Wei Xuanning was stunned.
