What Yang Zhanying told Qin Wu was also what she heard from her grandfather.
At that time, her grandfather also followed to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
My grandfather said that this was the most tragic war of national destruction he had ever witnessed. The people of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty used their flesh and blood to resist the enemy army from entering the city, fighting for a chance for the empress to escape.
But the empress did not leave, but fought bloody battles with them to kill the enemy.
After the empress died, some people from other countries wanted to desecrate her corpse, but were stopped by Duke Yang. In the end, it was Duke Yang who collected the empress's body and built a cenotaph without a tombstone.
Duke Yang also admired this empress very much. If they were not hostile to each other, Duke Yang might even make friends with her.
This is also why Duke Yang supported Yang Zhanying to go to the battlefield to make merit and kill the enemy.
Because Duke Yang had seen the heroic, revered, unyielding and admirable empress.
If she had no ability, the people would not have formed an army and lived and died with her.
If the Eastern Jin Dynasty had not been ruined by the previous emperor and turned into a poor country, and if the other three countries had not joined forces to attack it, perhaps the Eastern Jin Dynasty might have become a formidable great power.
...
...
It can only be said that the empress was born at the wrong time. Also, because she was a woman, other countries would not allow her, a woman, to become an emperor and trample on the supreme dignity of men.
For some reason, Qin Wu's eyes became moist when she heard Yang Zhanying talking about the Empress of Eastern Jin Dynasty. She felt as if someone had pinched her heart, and her heart was filled with bitterness.
After being hurt by Qi Xiuzhe and others, my heart became heartless and desireless, so why did I feel so uncomfortable...
She couldn't figure it out.
Perhaps, he felt sad about what happened to the empress.
"Don't worry, sister Yi. You haven't married the second prince yet. There are plenty of opportunities to change the outcome." Qin Wu held her hand, "I will help you."
Yang Zhanying smiled and scratched her nose lovingly, "You should take care of yourself first, don't worry about my affairs."
The issues between her and the Qi family have not been resolved yet, and she doesn't want Qin Wu to worry about her.
After Qin Wu fell asleep holding the child, she carefully instructed the wet nurse and asked Qiufen to take good care of the child, and then left in a hurry.
Zuixianlou.
Qin Wu brought a woman with scars all over her face to see Zhou Canglan.
This woman was a maid who once served Zhou Canglan's mother.
Zhou Canglan's father on his mother's side was just a minor fifth-rank official serving in other places.
When the emperor was selecting concubines, he chose Zhou Canglan's mother and named her Lianpin.
Concubine Lian used to have a very good relationship with Concubine Yun, but after they both became pregnant, Concubine Yun's attitude towards Concubine Lian changed.
And the emperor also likes Concubine Lian very much.
Concubine Yun plotted to murder Concubine Lian and make her have a miscarriage, but was discovered and rescued by the Empress.
Because Concubine Yun was pregnant, the emperor only gave her a minor punishment and a warning.
In addition, Concubine Yun is indeed resourceful. Even though her family is as weak as Concubine Lian's family, she is good at winning over powerful people and is extremely ambitious.
From a concubine, she was promoted to a concubine, and now a noble concubine.
Qin Wu asked the woman to talk to Zhou Canglan alone about the cause of his mother's death.
Coming out of the room, Zhou Canglan's face showed no emotion, except that his sparkling eyes were red, revealing a deep hatred that was being suppressed.
Zhou Canglan was only four or five years old when his mother died.
He saw his mother naked, covered with wounds, dying in front of him.
Others said that her mother committed suicide.
He didn't believe that his mother would commit suicide and leave him.
He went to see the emperor, but the emperor also disliked him and drove him out of the palace.
Later, on the Queen Mother's birthday, she said that she wanted all the Emperor's children to come and congratulate her, so Zhou Canglan returned to the palace.
He also presented the Queen Mother with a birthday gift that she liked, and the Queen Mother let him stay and returned to the palace.
However, the emperor still dislikes him...
He would never forget the sight of his mother's death.
After he returned to the palace, he investigated and found out from others that his mother had committed adultery with a guard and was discovered by the emperor. She was afraid, so she committed suicide in front of the emperor.
This incident brought disgrace to the emperor, and almost everyone was executed.
He was kept alive because the Queen Mother said that he was a child and innocent, and that the mother's mistake would not affect the child, so he was kept alive and won the title of a virtuous Queen.
After he knew this, he was grateful to the queen for giving him a way to survive.
But now I know the truth from this woman.
He just found it ridiculous and disgusting.
People's hearts are so sinister that it is hard to guard against them.
The Queen also contributed to his mother's death!
The queen originally wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Concubine Yun and Concubine Lian to execute the two princes at once so that their sons could not shake her son's position.
But unfortunately, Concubine Yun was more cunning than Concubine Lian and died due to the conspiracy. As a result, Zhou Canglan was also hated by the emperor and he no longer cared about her.
Concubine Yun has already secured her place in the harem and is even able to compete with the Queen.
All the help the Queen gave him was just exploitation.
Perhaps, even the truth that he had investigated clearly was just the Queen's instruction to let him know so that he would appreciate it.
The revenge for one's mother's murder is always hard to overcome, but Qin Wu was slightly relieved to see that he was very calm.
I’m afraid that he will impulsively return to the palace and kill the Queen and Concubine Yun.
"You have no power now, but it doesn't matter. As long as you listen to my arrangements, I will help you regain the emperor's trust and gain power."
"If you want to avenge your mother, the most important thing is to lie dormant and accumulate strength first, so that you can strike a fatal blow to your enemy."
The eldest prince has the influence of the queen's mother's family.
The second prince tried to win over Prime Minister Qin's forces.
The third prince has nothing, so it is difficult for him to compete for the position of crown prince.
But the Third Prince now has her help. She is rich and can earn money. She can use the money to help him settle many problems. She also knows what happened in the previous life.
Fighting for the position of crown prince is not without chance!
Looking at the gorgeous yet cold woman in front of him, he suddenly reached out and hugged her.
Frightened by his action, Qin Wu subconsciously wanted to push him away.
"Let me hold you for a while, please." He pleaded in a low voice choked with sobs.
Qin Wu's hand, which was on his chest, dropped down and let him hold her.
Perhaps because they were both lonely, Qin Wu felt a sense of sympathy for him.
In her previous life, Qin Wu didn’t pay much attention to Zhou Canglan, but he was not bad in her impression.
Even though she had long been despised and covered in mud, he still spoke up for her.
She forgot what was said, but it should be words that warmed her heart and never hurt her.
She was willing to give him some warmth and embrace at this vulnerable moment to reduce his pain.
He was very attached to Qin Wu's embrace, but Zhou Canglan was very sober.
They really just hugged her for a while, and then he let her go.
That lazy and world-weary temperament seemed to become calm and unfathomable overnight.
