Chapter 444 Power Struggle
This gathering at Prajna Temple.
Zhou Mu was also there.
After staying at Jiang Zijin's grave for a day, he seemed to have a sudden realization.
Stop dwelling on the past and turn your grief and anger into strength.
After listening to Jiang Ziyan's persuasion, he wavered and went to the Dali Temple to seek confirmation from Miss Zijin's maid Yaer.
Yaer cried to her and told her how Miss Zijin was tricked into the secret room, how the secret room was sealed, how the master and servant were trapped in the secret room, how Miss Zijin died tragically, and how Prince Chen found a substitute for Miss Zijin.
The fake concubine was eventually pushed out by Prince Chen to take the blame.
He is cruel and ruthless, worse than a beast.
How can such a person be worthy of being a king?
He deserves to be cut into pieces.
But my father was determined to hug this big tree, not knowing that the tree was already rotten inside.
Sooner or later it will collapse.
By then, the Zhou family will probably be doomed along with him.
This must not be allowed to happen.
Knowing that his persuasion was futile, he could only take the risk and go deep into the tiger's lair.
After leaving Prajna Temple, the first thing Zhou Mu did was to send someone to deliver a letter to Jiang Ziyan.
He was powerless to stop it, and could not see King Jing or Princess Yuqing, so he could only pass the message to them through Jiang Ziyan.
However, when he came out of Prajna Temple, he saw a familiar figure.
The little girl followed Jiang Yunze and looked very well-behaved.
If I remember correctly, the little girl is Jiang Ziyan's beloved sister, and I heard that she was canonized as a princess.
Don’t they hate Minister Jiang the most? Why are they here?
His complexion didn't look good either.
There's something...wrong about this.
Zhou Mu called the attendant and said, "When you deliver the letter later, tell Brother Yan that his sister has been held hostage by Minister Jiang."
Miaomiao was holding the little red bird and was absent-minded all the way.
Because there was someone guarding the attic, she and Yan Cheng'an couldn't go up to the attic. Fortunately, Jiujiu acted as her ears.
She heard the ministers discussing deposing her grandmother, the queen.
She also heard Prince Chen and the Left Prime Minister plotting to frame the princess' mother in the next room.
Jiujiu told her everything she heard.
She is in a terrible state now and is very panicked.
One hand tightly grasped Xier's arm.
Unexpectedly, the closest palace fight to her happened, and the parties involved were her own mother and grandmother.
In fact, it is more than just palace fighting.
It's a fight for succession and a power struggle.
And her clever and wise mother hasn't come back yet, otherwise she would definitely have a way.
what to do?
Miaomiao pinched her palms to calm herself down.
I went over what those people just said in my mind.
If the court officials want to impeach the queen, they must do so during the court session, which will be the morning session tomorrow.
The emperor had not previously deposed the empress's grandmother because of insufficient evidence and opposition from many court officials.
But this time, they must be prepared.
I'm afraid they will accuse her of many crimes in the court, and she might even be framed.
Many children in the palace died young, many died unexpectedly, and many even became unsolved cases.
If the old emperor is determined, he will definitely depose the queen.
Whether there is solid evidence or not, they will all put the blame on the Queen's grandmother, and she won't even be able to defend herself.
After all, my grandmother was able to sit firmly on the throne for so many years.
It's impossible to have blood on your hands.
The couple had been fighting for so many years, and they both had some leverage over each other.
But the emperor is the ruler of a country after all. If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they have to die.
If you don't want to die.
They can only rise up in rebellion.
I don’t know what my grandmother’s plan is, but Prince Chen must have had this in mind when he tried to win over the imperial guards.
Things like rebellion.
If both sides have this idea.
Whoever rebels first is a traitor, and whoever rebels later can be called a rebel suppressor and a purger.
It depends on who loses patience.
Miaomiao grabbed Yan Chengan's hand and said, "Brother An, I don't want to go to the Jiang Mansion anymore. I want to go to the palace."
"Okay." After coming out of Prajna Temple, Yan Cheng'an found that Miaomiao looked strange.
He didn't say anything, just stared blankly.
When I heard that she was going to the palace, I knew she wanted to go to Princess Yuqing.
After all, she is a girl, so it is normal for her to miss her mother.
If your biological mother is not around, you can only find a godmother.
Miaomiao nodded: "Hurry up, we have to enter the palace before the palace gate closes."
But Yan Cheng'an was a little embarrassed.
In Shangjing, there was no place he could not go, even the Dali Temple was accessible freely.
The only thing you can’t enter is the palace.
On weekdays, I would go to the palace with my grandmother.
He doesn't have the ability to bring Miaomiao into the palace alone.
Then he persuaded her, "You can't enter the palace without a letter. Otherwise, let's go home first."
"Can I come in with a token?" Miaomiao took out a token from her arms.
Yan Cheng'an's eyes widened.
He reached out to take the golden token and looked at it carefully from top to bottom.
In fact, he had never seen the emperor's token, but he had seen the empress dowager's.
It's similar to this one, but the characters are different.
It should be true.
Miaomiao's current identity is a princess, and she can move freely in the palace with the token.
He held the token in his hand, unable to let it go, his face full of envy: "You can get in, but was this token given to you by the Emperor? The Emperor is so kind to you!"
Miaomiao rolled her eyes and nodded: "Is that okay?"
Perhaps it was because of the princess's mother that Nanny Feng said she looked very similar to the princess when she was young.
"Brother An, how are we going to leave later? I don't want to be discovered."
"When we get into the city, I'll find someone to create chaos, and then we can slip away without anyone noticing." Yan Cheng'an had already made up his mind.
Once back in the city, at the crossroads where there were many people and beggars, he would scatter copper coins.
Common people and beggars swarmed in and soon blocked the road ahead.
Liuyun drove the carriage, turned around, turned a corner and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
By the time Jiang Yunze reacted.
Both the people and the carriage were gone.
It's too late to regret.
We shouldn’t have let these two brats come with us, especially the kid from the Yan family.
The chaos just now must have been caused by him.
He immediately rode his horse to chase after him, but there was no way he could catch up. He actually chased him to the palace gate.
I watched helplessly as the little girl swaggered into the palace.
Jiang Yunze had a bad feeling.
I hurried home to take a look.
The documents on the table were in a mess.
The study was in a mess, his marriage certificate with Zhou was torn to pieces, and the engagement letter from the Lu family girl also disappeared.
Those two bastards actually underestimated them.
I said that the little girl was as obedient as a rabbit, but it turns out she had ulterior motives.
You stupid girl, you are an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
hateful!
Imperial Palace.
Miaomiao successfully brought Xier into the palace.
After all, not everyone can enter the palace, let alone the harem. The guards stopped Yan Cheng'an and Liuyun.
But Miaomiao, holding the token, had a smooth journey and was almost unobstructed by anyone.
It was her first time using this token, and it was indeed very useful.
Led by the young eunuch, she went straight to the queen's bedroom.
As expected, the princess' mother and Xiao Yu'er were also there.
Although the Queen was under house arrest and could not come out, the palace maids did not dare to stop Princess Yuqing.
She is also the emperor's most beloved eldest daughter.
Perhaps even if the queen falls, it will still not shake her position as the eldest princess.
"Miaomiao... why are you here? Did you enter the palace alone?" Princess Yuqing was a little surprised and a little moved.
My daughter misses me now because she hasn't seen me for a few days.
