"I couldn't sleep at night. When someone discovered that something was wrong with the Wude Hall and there was a fire, I followed the first group of female soldiers who discovered it and went to the Wude Hall."
"At that time, the fire wasn't that big. It just happened to be burning in the windows, with the main door burning the most fiercely. The female soldiers had no choice but to fetch water to put out the fire...
I went around to the back and saw that the back door had clearly just caught fire. I wrapped myself in clothes and rushed in to save her, but she refused to cooperate at all and was determined to die. As the fire grew bigger and bigger, I knocked her unconscious and brought her out in a hurry.
Song Sanniang briefly described the process of her rescue, but she glossed over the dangers she encountered in the process.
Gong Yichen just listened to her talk about the process, and then thought of the black smoke rising into the sky from the Wude Hall that he had seen before. Even if he was ten feet away, his face would be burned so much that it hurt, let alone close contact with him and carrying a real person.
As Song Sanniang was speaking, she felt a pain in her waist and almost couldn't control her distorted expression.
"I just happened to run into you after I came out."
After Song Sanniang finished speaking, she secretly reached out and rubbed her waist. Why did this man just hit her directly?
Gongyi Qingjun bowed solemnly to Song Sanniang, "Thank you, Sanniang, you helped me again."
"What's our relationship? It's just a small matter." Song Sanniang waved her hand.
Gongyi Qingjun didn't say anything more when he saw this, but silently gave Song Sanniang another credit in his heart. He turned around and looked at the unconscious person on the bed, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
She didn't expect that her mother, the queen, would set herself on fire the night after writing the abdication edict, catching her off guard.
If her friend had not discovered it early and rescued her, it is hard to imagine whether she would have been drowned in the spit of outsiders who did not know the truth after the news got out.
If she raised an army to force a foolish empress to abdicate, the people and ministers could still convince themselves to accept it, but forcing the empress to death after she had already agreed to abdicate was a different matter.
Thinking of this, her face became even gloomier.
She really owed her that.
Gong Yichen could feel the hatred and resentment in his sister's heart, as well as the malice that had never been there before. He wanted to comfort his sister, but he didn't know what to say.
Gongyi Qingjun quickly calmed down, as if the previous negative emotions were just an illusion.
But that was not the case, because before they left the side hall, she arranged for four people to take turns watching Gongyi Yanjing (the Queen), and they had to watch her when she ate, slept, and went to the toilet.
Since she is shameless even though she is given the chance, Gongyi Qingjun will help her.
When Gongyi Yanjing woke up, she suddenly found herself still alive. Not only that, the surrounding environment was very unfamiliar. She could only recognize that she was still in the palace, but she didn't know her exact location.
She soon discovered that except for a table and bed, everything else in the room had been cleared out, all sharp surfaces had been covered, and even the eating utensils had been replaced with wooden ones.
She had guessed her current situation when she was knocked unconscious. It was better than the worst case scenario she had expected. As expected, her Sixth Lady still had a soft heart towards her.
Now that she's awake, she'll probably get the news soon and come see her...
Gongyi Qingjun, whom she was thinking about, didn't think about her at all now. After she arranged for people to monitor and take care of her, the "Empress Retired", she began to prepare for her own succession ceremony.
Fortunately, the place where the ceremony was held was separated from the Wude Hall by a wall and was not affected.
Under the gaze of ministers, generals and soldiers, Gongyi Qingjun ascended the throne and became the eleventh empress of Qinglong Kingdom, with the reign title Zhaowu.
After ascending to that position, she did not stop, but quickly reorganized the government and the country, killing those who should be killed, confiscating the property of those who should be confiscated, and sending them to the north to open up wasteland.
With power back in her hands, the corrupt officials in the court were cleared out, leaving many positions vacant. She also promoted many talented people who had been buried or underappreciated before.
Only a few positions are still vacant, but the impact is not big. After the imperial examination selection next year, there will be people to fill them.
Although there are major changes happening all the time, the people below hardly feel anything because these changes have little impact on their daily lives.
However, it still had an impact. Gongyi Qingjun based on some knowledge from his previous life memories and got some inspiration from Song Sanniang, and modified and supplemented it after discussion with the ministers.
A new tax policy has been introduced. Through visits, it can be confirmed that most people are very happy. Only a few landlords have some complaints, but they are only a very small number of people and have no impact on the overall situation.
During this period, Gongyi Qingjun also looked at the treasury and granary of Qinglong Kingdom. She was angry to find that although there was food, the country still withheld supplies from the border town soldiers. It was really a despicable act.
Thinking of the contents of the stack of letters she had accidentally found under the ruins of Wude Hall, her mood gradually dropped.
In just half a year, the Qinglong Kingdom was completely renewed and back on track. Gongyi Qingjun decided to prepare to attack the Baihu Kingdom. She remembered that there were still three cities in the hands of the Baihu Kingdom, if not for the previous queen's obvious hindrance.
She had originally planned to kill her way through the White Tiger Nation directly, but plans could not keep up with changes. Her fellow tribesmen who were supposed to form a united front with them were stabbed by them, and either died slowly or fought back directly.
Now that the internal situation is stable, it is time to resist foreign aggression. She is sure that the current food supply of Qinglong Kingdom is enough to support her westward expedition. As for the army, it has been on the road of suppressing bandits and quelling rebellions for the past six months, with full practical training.
A month later, Gongyi Qingjun set out for Lixi City.
On the wall of the imperial city, Song Sanniang and Gong Yichen beside her, now Gong Yiqingshu who had regained his identity, looked at the army going away. When they could no longer see any figures, Song Sanniang carefully helped Gong Yiqingshu back to the Duke's Mansion.
That's right, they got married half a year ago, not long after Gongyi Qingjun ascended the throne, and then one month after their marriage, Gongyi Qingshu diagnosed her with pregnancy.
It has been more than five months now and I am already showing my pregnancy.
Speaking of this, Song Sanniang felt a little emotional. This magical world actually allowed her to save points for buying fertility pills. Of course, she did not save on the pills for strengthening the body, otherwise she would not be at ease letting Gongyi Qingshu get pregnant.
Speaking of this, Song Sanniang was very curious about what the result would be if Gongyi Qingjun unified the continent and intermarriage occurred between the two sides.
For example, if a man from the White Tiger Country is with a man from the Azure Dragon Country, will the man from the Azure Dragon Country get pregnant? Or if a woman from the Azure Dragon Country is with a man from the White Tiger Country, will the man from the White Tiger Country get pregnant?
I’m curious about what the results of various combinations will be!

After Gongyi Qingshu finished speaking, he waited for a while but didn't hear any response from the person next to him. He turned around and saw her smiling very strangely.
Gongyi Qingshu:-_-||
I always feel that my wife is up to no good.
