At this moment, if the common sense that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west could be overturned, Zhen Shicheng's carefully groomed beard would be standing upside down.

What did he hear? The Queen Mother was a fake?

"Your Highness, are you joking?" After asking this, Zhen Shicheng stared into those dark eyes and suddenly realized that the other party was serious.

He suddenly stroked his forehead with a painful expression: "Headache——"

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Is this old man trying to play dumb?

Zhen Shicheng smiled dryly: "Maybe I've been busy with too many social events recently and I'm not in a good mood."

He likes solving cases, but he doesn't like courting death. He hasn't even had a grandson yet! Thinking about it this way, I'm quite grateful to the emperor for solving the life-threatening issue of his troublesome son.

On second thought, that's not right. If he wasn't related to the royal family, would the prince have come here with such a smug face and said they were a family? Without the excuse of being a family, would the prince dare to say that he suspected the queen mother was a fake?

Yu Jin looked as if she was thinking about Zhen Shicheng, and said with a smile, "If the case is solved, Master Zhen will be in high spirits."

Seeing Zhen Shicheng remained silent, Yu Jin sighed: "This matter concerns the survival of the Great Zhou. I can only ask for help from Master Zhen. Who said we are a family?"

Zhen Shicheng's face turned black.

No one told him that "One Family" was a big pirate ship. If he had known that the prince would treat "One Family" like this, he would rather refuse the marriage and accept the emperor's warning.

Zhen Shicheng knew that this person was extremely shameless and would not stop until he achieved his goal. Since he could not escape, he had to continue: "Why do you say that, Prince?"

Yu Jin smiled and said, "This matter has to start with my wife's grandmother, the old lady of Yining Marquis..."

Omitting Jiang Si's background, he told Zhen Shicheng everything he could.

Unable to do anything to the Queen Mother for the time being, he thought about it and decided to find a helper. The most suitable person was undoubtedly Zhen Shicheng.

Of course, it is not possible to move the Queen Mother, a huge Buddha, without giving a reason.

Zhen Shicheng's facial expression kept changing as Yu Jin spoke, which was very interesting.

Yu Jin put down the teacup and sighed, "That's how it is."

Zhen Shicheng's expression was complicated: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the old lady of Marquis Yining is wrong?"

Yu Jin said, "It feels like there might be something wrong, but it is true that there have been constant disturbances in the palace in the past two years, and the center of the disturbance is the Cining Palace. Lord Zhen, when you solve a case, you must not let go of any abnormality. Matters concerning the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be neglected."

Zhen Shicheng's mouth twitched.

He doesn't care about that!

"This is too difficult. If there really was a case of substitution, it has been several decades. There is no physical evidence and no witnesses. The one who should be investigated is still the Queen Mother..." Zhen Shicheng shook his head.

Yu Jin's eyes flickered: "What if Ci Ning Palace takes action again?"

Zhen Shicheng looked at him.

"Master Zhen, you don't think that the heavenly dog ​​swallowing the sun was just a coincidence, right?"

Zhen Shicheng's expression changed slightly.

"The people who plotted against me will certainly take action again. The past is hard to recover. I hope Master Zhen will lend me a helping hand in the future."

Zhen Shicheng bowed and said, "I will do my best."

If any other prince had said this, he would not have taken it seriously, but after all, he had worked with the crown prince before, so he still had some trust in him.

If the Queen Mother was a foreigner, even if there was a slight possibility, he couldn't stay out of it now that he knew about it.

To eat the emperor's salary and share his worries is the duty of a minister.

Yu Jin got a satisfactory answer and left happily.

Zhen Shicheng sat there for a long time, unconsciously pulling out a dozen strands of his beard before he calmed down.

Soon the day for enthroning the crown prince arrived.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and all the civil and military officials put on their new official uniforms early in the morning and waited for the prince outside the Meridian Gate.

Amid the sound of ritual music, Yu Jin entered the main hall and knelt to receive the imperial book. He then went to the central palace to pay homage to the empress, and then paid homage to the ancestral temple. He completed the enthronement ceremony smoothly in the infinite scenery. From then on, he officially entered the East Palace and became the legitimate crown prince of the Great Zhou.

Emperor Jingming was relieved about this: nothing went wrong!

I don’t know since when it became normal to make trouble. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

The next day, Yu Jin brought Jiang Si to pay respects to Emperor Jingming.

Emperor Jingming looked at the young couple and said with dignity: "After moving into the East Palace, you must set an example for the world and don't act rashly."

"My son (daughter-in-law) will follow the instructions of the emperor."

Emperor Jingming nodded with satisfaction.

At the moment, it seems that there is nothing for the Seventh Brother to worry about. His wife is a capable person, so she is even less likely to do that.

"You guys step back."

After leaving Emperor Jingming's place, the two went to Cining Palace first.

The Queen Mother was counting her beads with her eyes closed.

"Queen Mother, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have arrived."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and said, "Let them in."

Soon, a pair of beautiful lovers came in hand in hand and paid their respects to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked down at the two people performing the ceremony with a deep gaze.

I still remember that when the two of them came to pay their respects at the Cining Palace for their wedding, they were refused to see her. At that time, they really didn't expect this day would come.

After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother said gently, "Don't be so polite. Get up."

After saying that, he waved to Jiang Si and said, "Crown Princess, come and sit here with me."

Jiang Si walked forward and sat on the small stool brought by the palace maid.

The Queen Mother looked at her gently and said with a smile, "When I first saw you, I thought you were a blessed person. Now it seems to be true. Remember to come often in the future."

Jiang Si smiled: "I hope the Royal Grandmother doesn't mind my granddaughter-in-law's nagging. You are truly the most tolerant elder my granddaughter-in-law has ever met."

"Why do you say that?" the Queen Mother asked casually.

No matter whether you like or dislike the person in front of you, nice words are pleasing to everyone's ears.

Jiang Si did not avoid looking into the Queen Mother's eyes, and smiled openly: "My grandson's wife was worried that you would blame me for what happened to Aunt Rongyang..."

Anger flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, but her tone remained unchanged: "How could that be? The Empress Dowager knows that this matter has nothing to do with you. I am very happy to have a filial granddaughter-in-law like you."

After the two men left, the Queen Mother's face suddenly darkened. Even though her servants increased the speed of counting the beads, she was unable to regain her composure quickly.

"Queen Mother, please don't be angry because of the Crown Princess's outspokenness. Your health is the most important." The trusted nanny advised.

The Queen Mother sneered: "Speaking frankly? Do you believe that a woman who has won the favor of the Emperor and Empress and helped her husband to take the throne of successor would be a frank person? She is provoking me!"

Thinking of Jiang Si's smile, the Queen Mother's hands shook with anger.

She had been pampered for many years, and it had been a while since anyone had been so presumptuous in front of her.

She even saw a bit of condescension in Jiang's eyes, as if the person in front of her was not the most noble woman in the harem, but a humble existence.

Just like her when she was young.

The Queen Mother hadn't thought about the past for so long that she had almost forgotten what it was like back then.

But today the new Crown Princess made her think of it.

Those memories are obviously not very pleasant for the Queen Mother now.

Her eyes became colder and colder, and the thoughts that had been temporarily put aside resurfaced.

After successfully provoking the Queen Mother's anger, Jiang Si walked briskly towards Kunning Palace.
