Chapter 137 The Battle for the Throne 2
The court officials pleaded for mercy, but after seeing the evidence that the original body threw in their faces, they could only remain silent. This was not only regicide but also matricide, extremely unfilial and unkind. How could such a person inherit the throne?
In the end, the Third Princess won the throne and became the new empress of Fengqi Kingdom. After her original mother abdicated, she took the virtuous king to cultivate herself. Unfortunately, she did not live to a ripe old age and was angered to death.
The problem lies with the Third Princess, or to be more precise, with one of her servants, who is actually a prince of Panlong Kingdom, and the prince who lost in the battle for the throne. He fled to Fengqi Kingdom, replaced the identity of a good family boy who was chosen to be a slave in the Third Princess's mansion, and then planned to get close to the Third Princess step by step.
While the eldest princess and the second princess were fighting openly and secretly, he used his outstanding temperament and ability to win the favor of the third princess, walked step by step to her side, and was even classified as a maid.
When the Third Princess became the Empress, he used his own advantages to give advice to the Third Princess who did not like to deal with state affairs, and solved several troubles in the Fengqi Dynasty. He also became more and more dependent on his concubine. When the Third Princess became pregnant and gave birth, the concubine took control of the state affairs on the pretext of sharing her worries.
But all these were done in private. After the third princess gave birth to the prince of this concubine, he got in touch with the Panlong Kingdom. He wanted to cooperate with the Panlong Kingdom from inside and outside to completely seize the imperial power of Fengqi Kingdom and make female supremacy a part of Fengqi Kingdom's history.
The court officials of Fengqi Kingdom were not there to sit there and do nothing, and they had also sent spies to the neighboring countries. After the news came back, the court officials tried to stabilize the empress who had not attended court for a long time, while arranging people to meet the original body.
This concubine from Panlong State was also very resourceful. He had controlled the emperor's husband with drugs and guarded the entire palace tightly. The movements of the court officials had alarmed him, and he immediately prevented the court officials from seeing the emperor.
Unfortunately, he was an outsider after all, so he let the court officials pass on the news. At that time, his original body had already been damaged by the chronic poison. After hearing the news, he couldn't breathe and passed away.
For a time, the situation in Fengqi State became increasingly chaotic, and Panlong State took the opportunity to send troops to attack Fengqi State. The border guards were caught off guard and suffered repeated defeats. Because the other side had obtained the defense map early, Fengqi State was completely routed and suffered a complete defeat.
The Third Princess then realized that something was wrong. It was too late for her to take down her husband, so she could only negotiate for peace with the Panlong Kingdom. However, the Panlong Kingdom respected men and naturally looked down on women. So she swung her sword resolutely and forcefully incorporated the Fengqi Kingdom into the Panlong Kingdom's territory.
Afterwards, she began to vigorously suppress women, completely making the country dominated by women a thing of the past. The original body could not rest in peace even after her death, because of her compromises in her childhood, her attempts to smooth things over in her middle age, and her wrong decisions in her later years, which directly ruined the empire built by her ancestors. She was filled with resentment and hindered the operation of the small world, so this mission came about.
When Lianyi accepted the mission and entered the world where the original body was, it was just when the two princesses could no longer hold back and began to drug the original body. Moreover, the drug had been administered for some time, so the original body closed his eyes to rest in the court.
That was because the original body had a splitting headache and felt weak all over. Due to the whole night of insomnia, the original body was in a very bad condition and the body had sounded the alarm.
"How can a prince who failed in his bid for the throne have such great power to stir up trouble in Fengqi Country? If he took advantage of the Third Princess's love for him to plot for the position of the Emperor's husband, I believe it. After all, he was approaching the Third Princess in someone else's identity, and there was no power behind him.
But this concubine seems to have a clear goal, which is to pursue the imperial power. It seems that he was specially arranged by Panlong State to disintegrate Fengqi State. "
Ripple whispered.
"Sizzle. Congratulations to the tasker! He discovered the bug in the small world when he took over the task."
The vulgar sound of the stone mortar reached Lianyi's ears.
She picked her ears and asked calmly:
"Is there something wrong with that concubine?"
"The tasker's guess is correct. The prince of Panlong Kingdom actually died on the way to escape. Now this is a male chauvinist reader who has traveled through time and replaced the original prince."
"Reader? The one who came back to life from behind a corpse thinks he is traveling through a book?"
Lianyi's brows moved and she asked directly.
"Yes, he read a novel that reflected this place, and he couldn't understand how a country could be founded by a woman. He thought that if he came here, he could become a god here."
"Then a loophole in time and space appeared, allowing him to get here. Moreover, he succeeded and wiped out a country founded by a woman. This small world became a completely male-dominated world. There was something wrong with the direction of development of this small world."
Lian Yi added directly.
"Yes, the original direction of the development of the small world was towards gender equality. After being disrupted like this, a lot of resentment was generated. Coupled with the resentment of the original queen, it affected the operation of the small world and caused a series of sequelae. This is how this mission came about."
"Okay, I know what to do."
"Um. Don't you need any more help?"
"Besides the bad signal, what else can you do to help me?"
Lian Yi asked directly.
“.”
"No matter what I do, I have to heal my body first. Otherwise, I will die first and then how can I help my original body to set things right!"
The mortar immediately fell silent.
Although Lianyi had her eyes closed, she was trying to draw energy into her body. There was spiritual energy in this small world, but it was incomparable to the world of cultivation. She only absorbed five of the pitifully few spiritual energy points and fell asleep because of exhaustion.
Lianyi woke up when the sun set and the moon rose. She felt a little disgusted with her original body. She had so many ministers, but she still made herself so tired. This was the result of not giving up power. She worked herself to death and was despised by the grown-up princesses.
Lianyi slowly got up and smelled a sour odor on her body. She knew that the five spiritual energy points she absorbed did have some effect. She then rang the bell beside the bed, and the door of the bedroom was pushed open. Huizhi and Lanxin walked in with two teams of maids.
The maids each held an exquisite octagonal palace lantern in their hands, illuminating the entire bedroom, and then lit the candles inside the bedroom.
"Queen, you are awake, but do you want to serve the meal?"
Lan Xin asked softly. She was mainly responsible for the Queen's daily life.
"Prepare some water. I need to take a bath. Ask the kitchen to prepare some easy-to-digest porridge. Don't waste it."
Lianyi held Lanxin's hand and stood up and said.
"yes."
Lan Xin waved to a little maid, and the clever little girl immediately stepped out of the bedroom, apparently to inform the kitchen.
Two hours later, Lianyi, wearing a soft white silk nightgown, was listening to Huizhi's report.
