After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 755 Wang Jin has returned to Beijing
Before the autumn rain comes.

The Northern Barbarian envoys, who had personally experienced an assassination attempt in the capital of Sheng Kingdom, finally returned to the grassland with generous rewards from the emperor and empress.

But the tense political atmosphere in Kyoto has just begun to emerge.

It began to rain every day in the capital city, and the water level in the moat under the Ziwei Palace rose, threatening to overflow into the streets.

As a result, all shops on both sides of the river were closed.

Even the boatmen who were ferrying people across the river took a break.

At the gate of Ziwei Palace, only the guards guarding the river were patrolling back and forth in the rain.

Because of the heavy rain, people stayed at home, and the capital city, which was usually bustling, was rarely quiet for a few days.

On the quiet street, a carriage drove slowly in the rain.

After crossing the bridge, we stopped for a while at the gate of Ziwei Palace and then continued to drive into the palace.

This is the eldest princess' carriage.

Only the eldest princess can drive into the palace.

The royal guards in the palace looked at each other in surprise when they saw that the princess' carriage was driving straight towards the harem without stopping.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just arrived, and the Princess came right after. Something big is about to happen." Someone whispered.

The others nodded in agreement, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, but more of hesitation and uneasiness.

Because for little people like them, even a small fight between nobles can be fatal.

At this time, everyone in the palace was paying attention to the Qihua Palace.

The palace maid announced: "The princess wants to see you!"

Inside the palace, the Crown Prince and the Queen looked like they had just had an argument, one with red eyes and the other with an angry look on his face.

The palace servants who were serving on both sides knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

A quarter of an hour ago.

The prince received the news he least wanted to hear—Wang Jin had returned to the capital and quietly entered the palace for an audience.

Wang Jin brought back a lot of evidence, all of which pointed to Prince Feng's intention to rebel.

The emperor was shocked at first, and then couldn't believe it.

Finally, he had to let go of the softness in his heart for his kinship and invited Prince Feng to the capital to preside over the royal ancestor sacrifice in the winter month.

When the imperial edict was issued, all officials in Kyoto were in an uproar.

If Prince Feng comes to Beijing, Wang Jin will have sufficient evidence and he will be in danger.

But if Prince Feng did not come, it would be considered as disobeying the imperial order, and in the end his entire family would be convicted.

If you were King Feng, would you come or not?

Anyone who knows the emperor knows that he is trying to force Prince Feng to rebel.

After all, he is a prince of the royal family and the emperor's biological brother from the same mother. If the crime is not strong enough and Prince Feng is sentenced to death, the other princes of the royal family will definitely be dissatisfied.

Therefore, the crime could only be that Prince Feng rebelled.

As to whether King Feng was really planning to rebel, it didn’t matter at all.

The prince had a close relationship with his uncle since childhood, and when he learned of the emperor's decree, he hurried to the palace to plead for mercy.

But he couldn't even protect himself, and the emperor didn't show up at all.

As a last resort, the prince ran to Qihua Palace again, hoping to get support from his mother.

For someone who once sent assassins to kill him, could Xu Wenqing let go of this great opportunity for revenge?

Of course she wouldn't.

The mother and son could not agree on anything, the prince contradicted the queen, and the current scene happened.

"Let the princess in."

Xu Wenqing did not need to avoid suspicion and directly asked the palace servants to let his daughter in. When the eldest princess entered the palace and saw the frustrated prince, she did not despise him as usual.

She knew what had just happened without having to think.

Her stupid brother, relying on his parents' love, forgot to use his brain to think.

The family affection he cared about was not worth mentioning at all in the face of imperial power!
The eldest princess walked straight past the prince, came before the queen and bowed.

"Mother, the assassination attempt on the stadium has come to an end. I am here to report this to you."

The eldest princess acted in a businesslike manner, but when she stood up and looked up, she deliberately glanced at the queen.

She wanted to see whether the woman in front of her, whom she was proud of, would show the slightest hint of guilt.

However, it did not.

When the prince heard that the assassination of Gong Liangliao had come to an end, he ignored the disappointment of being scolded by his mother and asked hurriedly:

"Who did it? Who wanted to kill the gentleman? Has the mastermind been caught? Where is he?"

In an instant, the eldest princess and the queen both looked at him.

There was silence in the hall, and the disappointment in the queen's eyes was intriguing.

The eldest princess looked at the prince's innocent and puzzled expression, and a sense of malice arose in her heart for no reason.

She really wanted to see how he would react when he knew that the mastermind behind the assassination of the man he cared about most was his most respected mother.

Disbelief, despair, pain?
She really wanted to see the prince, a man who still had an innocent heart, turn completely evil.

Otherwise, why should she, a child, have to endure these darkness and dangers that she shouldn't have to endure!

The prince, however, is like a person who never grows up, and has such clear eyes.

Prince Feng wanted to rebel, but he still felt that he was his uncle after all, and he had been kind to him. How ridiculous!

It's not that the prince is unaware of the malice coming from his eldest sister, but what he is most concerned about now is the mastermind behind the harm to his teacher.

A pair of slightly red eyes stared at the eldest princess, waiting for an answer.

The eldest princess was about to tell him the truth when the queen suddenly raised her hand and waved.

"Prince, please step down."

The prince was stunned.

The eldest princess looked at her mother in disbelief. You really can’t bear to hurt your precious son?
"Madame Yu, send the prince out." The queen gave the direct order.

No one dared to resist this mother.

Although the prince was anxious to know the answer, he had no choice but to follow Nanny Yu and leave Qihua Palace.

After everyone left, the eldest princess glared at the queen in dissatisfaction, "You dare to do it, why don't you dare let him know?"

The Queen narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Baili Nihuang, why do you think I gave this matter to you to investigate?"

Of course the eldest princess knew it, and she calculated that even if she knew the truth, she would not tell it to anyone.

Even now everyone thinks that she wants to kill Gong Liangliao.

But she was also willing to take the blame in order to maintain her mother's kind image.

"Your brother didn't suspect that you were the one who killed Gong Liangliao until just now." The queen reminded.

The princess laughed angrily, "He is stupid!"

"But I don't understand, why did you do this, mother?"

She had clearly crippled Gong Liangliao's legs, driving him away from the political center and turning him into an insignificant commoner.

Although Gong Liangliao was hateful, he had taught her and the prince sincerely after all. So let him die in peace.

The queen sneered, sat back in the main seat, and looked down at her daughter:
"It is because you are soft-hearted that I have to take action. If you don't even have this little trick, I don't think you can even think about the position of Crown Princess."

The princess choked, but still explained subconsciously: "But there is no need to do this."

"Is it unnecessary?" The Queen reminded coldly: "Because you didn't kill him directly at the beginning, I have to solve the trouble of Prince Feng now, so that I can completely cut off the left and right arms of the Crown Prince and let you become the Crown Princess."
