The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 407
In December, just after Duan Rongxuan's first child was full moon, Duan Rongxuan issued an edict to make the child the crown prince.Li Chu's edict had just been conveyed to various places, and immediately annoyed his brothers.The former Seven Kings of Southern Chu had endured for many years, but now they finally calmed down. He secretly deployed his army, taking advantage of Duan Rongxuan's serious illness and inability to control the court, within just half a month, he completely evacuated Duan Rongxuan.

After that, the seven kings strictly locked down the palace and cut off Duan Rongxuan's party feathers, making Duan Rongxuan a king in name only.The Seven Kings cut off Duan Rongxuan's medicine. Duan Rongxuan was already poisoned, and then he poured some poison. On the day of Laba, Duan Rongxuan's eyes that had been open for three days finally closed slowly...

Until his death, he didn't believe that he was defeated so silently!

But Duan Rongxuan's reluctance did not arouse the vigilance of the Seven Kings. Due to public opinion, he could not justly ascend the throne, so he had to follow the advice of his advisers and support Duan Rongxuan's only son to become emperor.

How can a child who can't even turn over be an emperor?
Therefore, the Seven Kings logically became the regent of Southern Chu, and the prime minister for all affairs of Southern Chu—from then on, everyone knew that Southern Chu was already ruled by the Seven Kings!
In the past two months, the ups and downs in Southern Chu have made people's eyes drop.Many people sighed and sighed, but no matter what, the civil strife in Southern Chu and the consumption of war for many years had brought the country to the brink of collapse.The rich land lacks the rule of a Ming Lord, and it is still gradually approaching the end of overthrow.

And there is Western Zhao who is in the same situation as Southern Chu.Ever since Zhou Ruxu entered the harem, Xizhao was also in chaos, the people in the country were full of grievances, several princes and princesses were in a mess, and there was almost no peace.

In December, under Qiao Fengqi's plan, Mu Ruyan gained the upper hand again and regained control.

At this moment, Empress Qi, who had experienced many ups and downs, accidentally fell into the water. The water was cold in winter, and the women in the deep palace were delicate and frail.

Empress Qi's death was simply too cheap for Zhou Ruxu, and Mu Shuzhi liked her so much that he resolutely made her his empress regardless of the objections of the courtiers.

This annoyed the Qi family, how can there be a queen who has passed away and never went to the funeral, and is clamoring for a new queen?Zhou Ruxu had some tricks in the harem, so he didn't have to cry, make trouble and hang himself. He only sighed a little, and Mu Shuzhi felt sorry, so he firmly issued the imperial edict, making Zhou Ruxu the empress.

The Qi family was dissatisfied, so they decided that there was another reason for Queen Qi's falling into the water, and it was deliberate.

Zhou Ruxu, the queen, has not been canonized yet, and the Qi family immediately launched an investigation.Unexpectedly, this investigation followed in the footsteps of Mu Qingrui back then, and after layers of questioning, the old affairs of the previous dynasty were once again involved.

It turned out that the one who pushed Empress Qi into the water was none other than a palace maid who served Rong Xiuye ​​in front of the imperial court. She had been in the palace for a long time, and seeing that she was getting older, she could no longer avenge Rong Xiuye. , in line with the heart of killing one by one, this is the ruthless hand.

The angry Qi family didn't expect that Zhou Ruxu had nothing to do with the incident of the queen falling into the water, so they severely tortured the maid, trying to pour the sewage on Zhou Ruxu.However, during this torture, the palace maid revealed the truth about Rong Xiuye's unjust death, and also told the tragic experience of the former empress dowager.

Empress Qi's father, Qi Hanxuan, is nearly seventy years old, and he once deeply admired the late Empress Dowager Fu Caiyi. Due to various reasons, he finally passed by Fu Caiyi.

One of the very secret reasons why he supported Mu Shuzhi's ascension to the throne was that Mu Shuzhi promised him that once the Rong family's world was overthrown, he would let Fu Caiyi go back with him.But later Fu Caiyi committed suicide in the palace, and Qi Hanxuan was annoyed that Mu Shuzhi had no faith in his words, so he stayed away from the court.

I suddenly heard that there was such a shocking secret hidden behind Fu Caiyi's death. That night, he locked himself in the study all night. No one knew what he was thinking, but early the next day, Qi Hanxuan sent Qi Hanxuan All the descendants of the family called over.

When the descendants of the Qi family came out of their grandfather's study, their faces were filled with righteous indignation, and they almost wanted to kill someone!
The Qi family had grasped Mu Shuzhi's great power, so naturally they had to make more use of it.Qi Hanxuan wanted to clear up Fu Caiyi's grievances, so he naturally had to find a way to expose Mu Shuzhi's conspiracy to the world.

Qi Hanxuan didn't know, but when he learned of this secret, Zhou Ruxu from the deep palace also made a move.

She put the medicinal powder that can cause wind-cold symptoms into the white fungus soup that Mu Shuzhi drank. The next day after Mu Shuzhi drank it, he became ill again.

Qi Hanxuan got a god-given opportunity, and immediately united with his former ministers to announce the inside story of Empress Qi's death to the world.There was Chen Shaofu calling for grievances before, and now there is veteran Qi Hanxuan calling for grievances for Rong Xiuye, and the court was immediately in an uproar.

When Mu Shuzhi's drowsiness improved, there was already an uproar inside and outside the court.

Qiao Fengqi then persuaded Mu Ruyan to follow the current situation, join the Qi family's camp, and seek the Qi family's support.Mu Ruyan believed it was true, and fully supported the Qi family in uncovering the true face of the old case.

In the midst of the wind and rain, the New Year has arrived.

On New Year's Eve, according to the usual practice in previous years, the courtiers would enter the palace to congratulate the emperor and empress on their auspicious new year. Unexpectedly, for this year's New Year's Eve banquet, Mu Shuzhi did not wait for the auspicious congratulations. Qi Hanxuan's persecution.

At this New Year's banquet, Qi Hanxuan was aggressive, kept talking to each other, and drove Mu Shuzhi to a desperate situation. The out-of-control Mu Shuzhi seemed to have been untied of a long-standing scar. Under the scar, there was still blood Dripping, unstoppable pain.Zhou Ruxu, who has always been gentle and gentle, also completely changed his face at this year's banquet, and together with Qi Hanxuan pressed questions, pointing out the truth of the past.

Mu Shuzhi was desperate, so he slipped and shouted: "He robbed me of picking my clothes, he deserves to die, die!"

Once the words are out of your mouth, the rest is much easier.

Mu Shuzhi fell down on the dragon chair with tears streaming down his face. He patted the dragon's head bitterly and said, "Caiyi originally belonged to me. If he hadn't stepped in, how could it be...he deserves to die, and so does his son." Could it be that I killed them wrongly?"

"Caiyi is yours?" Qi Hanxuan sneered: "It is true that she has a marriage contract with you, but when did you take her to heart? In order to get the power you wanted, you pushed her to Rong Huling's side with your own hands! When she fell in love with Rong Huling sincerely, you regretted it again and begged her to get back together with you. There is no such good thing in the world, once people's feelings are lost, they will never come back!"

Speaking of the latter sentence, he couldn't help but think of himself, and it was inevitable that he felt sorry for him.

Mu Shuzhi laughed loudly, but his eyes were sad: "What qualifications do you have to say about me? At the beginning, if you were not concerned about your Qi family abandoning her, she would have gone far away with you long ago!"

These words were like a boulder hitting Qi Hanxuan's heart, his face turned pale, and he fell into the chair all of a sudden.

Qi Hanxuan's silence doesn't mean that other people are silent.

Qiao Fengqi watched the entire New Year's banquet with cold eyes. Such a chaotic situation was beyond his expectation. He had waited for this day for too long, and he would never let his plan collapse here.

He sneered, stood up and said: "Unexpectedly, the Rong family will be destroyed by the love of his sons and daughters!"

"Children love each other?" Zhou Ruxu opened the corners of his mouth in cooperation: "If children love each other, why are there blood stains?"

Qiao Fengqi smiled and said: "The love between children is just an excuse to cover up one's ambition. If you are really only doing it for Fu, why bother? I heard that Fu was strong-tempered when he was young. If you If you really love her, how do you know that once the Rong family is overthrown, she will die for the country? Since you know that she will die, isn’t it ridiculous to say that winning the country is for the Fu family? It's really sad and deplorable!"

"Who are you?" Mu Shuzhi noticed Qiao Fengqi only now, his old eyes narrowed slightly, showing a bit of inquiry.

As Mu Ruyan's counselor, Qiao Fengqi had never entered the palace to meet the saint, nor had he attended any gatherings with Mu Ruyan. Today was the first time he showed his face in front of the officials. No wonder Mu Shuzhi didn't know him.

Qiao Feng laughed but didn't answer, just continued: "Ms. Fu is pitiful, but she is pitiful only for the courtiers and people who have been kept in the dark by you! Your Majesty, have you ever slept soundly at night for so many years? Has the old man ever had a dream?"

Mu Shuzhi let out a scream of "Ah—" and fell down on the dragon chair, already horrified.

After this scream, his eyes rolled white, his breathing became short of breath, and he soon passed out.

After a good New Year banquet, it ended so coldly in the end, Mu Shuzhi was carried back to the harem in a hurry, and all the affairs of the harem were temporarily handed over to Zhou Ruxu, the supervisor.

Zhou Ruxu obeyed Qiao Fengqi's order, the palace gates were closed, and all memorials were strictly controlled to be sent into the palace.Now that Mu Ruyan is the princess in charge, the government is naturally handed over to her.

It was the first time for Mu Ruyan to use the power of the government independently. Unbeknownst to Qiao Fengqi, he sent a letter of divorce to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, expressing to Wei Shi the idea of ​​marriage.

Qiao Fengqi received the letter, and pretended to curse a few times in front of the servants: "Confused! Confused!"

As soon as he turned around, he pursed his lips and smiled, letting out a long sigh of relief.

In the Eastern Wei Dynasty, when Wei Shi and Mu Yunge got the marriage letter, it was almost the Lantern Festival. The two met each other and smiled, and Wei Shi made the marriage letter public and announced his reply to the world.

Mu Ruyan was so blatantly rejected by Wei Shi, she became so annoyed that she almost killed herself in the princess mansion.

She didn't expect that it was this letter that completely ruined her career as an emperor!

Qi Hanxuan scolded her for being stupid at the court, saying that such a princess is not qualified to be the head of Xizhao. Zhou Ruxu has completely grasped the most practical rights of Xizhao. The innocent Mu Ruyan soon lost the power and responsibility of being the princess in charge, and was put under house arrest in her own princess mansion.

The situation changed suddenly, and at this moment, Mu Yunge and Yun Rao packed their bags and decided to go west in person, and go to the Xizhao Palace to kill their father and enemy for a while...
