Chapter 608: Take Back What She Lost
Cao Yuner was pregnant with a prince, so she had no choice but to die tragically like this!
The Queen Mother figured it out afterwards.
No matter how clever the Queen's methods are, it is impossible for her to not find any evidence. The one who really wants Cao Yun'er dead is the Emperor.
When the empress dowager realized this, a chill ran down her body.
She never knew that her son was such a cold-blooded person.
The Cao family is her maternal family, and she wants to gain some power for her maternal family. He doesn't agree with such a small matter.
At the same time, she also understood that it was useless to rely solely on the emperor's grace.
Just like before, the emperor respected *** so much and gave her all the honors he could give, but in the end, he still issued an imperial decree to drive *** out of the imperial capital!
If you want power, you have to find a way yourself.
"I also think this marriage is very good!" The Queen Mother nodded in agreement.
"Empress Dowager, although I was the one who proposed this marriage, it would be safest to ask you to act as a matchmaker," Ji Chuhe suggested.
"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. I know it all." The Queen Mother did not shy away from Ji Chuhe and directly ordered: "Send a secret letter to *** immediately and ask her to arrange this matter as quickly as possible!"
"Yes."
……
Yancheng.
After *** came back, she declined Chang Yi's idea of rebuilding the mansion for her, and directly renovated the Jiang family's old house and lived in it.
This is the cage the emperor gave her.
However, she will not be trapped here forever.
She believed that she would return to the imperial capital sooner or later.
Everything she lost will be taken back!
Liao Yunfei followed *** back to Yancheng. At first, her identity was awkward, as she was neither a master nor a servant.
She tried her best to please ***, especially when *** couldn't control herself and went crazy, she would stay by ***'s side. Over time, she actually gained ***'s trust and became ***'s confidant, and her life gradually got better.
"Liao Yunfei, look, this is the secret letter that the Queen Mother just sent to me." *** handed the letter to Liao Yunfei.
Liao Yunfei took it and looked at the contents carefully. "***, it seems that we have hope of returning to the capital!"
"Go and call the Magistrate Chang right away. I need to discuss this matter with him."
"Yes."
……
After giving the empress dowager some advice, Ji Chuhe lied about being unwell and closed the door to visitors.
The emperor also sent an imperial physician to examine Ji Chuhe's pulse, and the conclusion was that he was overworked. The emperor also personally ordered Ji Chuhe to rest for some time.
When the queen heard the news, she felt very angry.
Qin Yumo stood behind the queen and gently kneaded her shoulders.
"This Ji Chuhe, he got sick at the right time."
"Don't worry, mother. Ji Chuhe can't be sick forever. She will get better eventually. There is no rush for this matter. As long as we have the secret help of our father-in-law, it will be easy to succeed." Qin Yumo comforted softly.
"To tell you the truth, I don't trust Chao Sihai with all my heart. Especially after the Third Prince was injured. The most solid relationship between people is supported by interests. Without interests, they will immediately become a pile of loose sand. That's why I'm anxious."
"I know my mother is worried, but Ji Chuhe is staying indoors and there is nothing we can do. Could it be that Ji Chuhe has noticed something?"
"You mean, Chao Sihai betrayed me?"
"Also a possibility."
The Queen thought about it, but still shook her head in denial, "Chao Sihai has been by the Emperor's side for so many years, how could he be bought so easily? Both the Emperor and the Queen Mother tried to bribe him, but failed. What can Ji Chuhe give Chao Sihai to make him serve her?"
"Ji Chuhe is rich."
"Money? Do you think a man like Chao Sihai still needs money? If he wants money, there are plenty of people lining up to give it to him."
"That's right! Then don't worry. Only mother, I and Chao Sihai know about this plan. As long as Chao Sihai doesn't betray mother, Ji Chuhe would not know about it. Could it be that Ji Chuhe can predict the future?"
"How is the third prince doing?" the queen changed the subject.
Now, the most important thing is for the third prince to recover as soon as possible.
"Today, with my company, His Highness was willing to get out of bed. I had someone carry him to the courtyard to bask in the sun for a while."
"That's good." The queen breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been expecting a miracle.
I believe God will not be so cruel to her.
She had already lost a son, there was no way she would let this son become a waste.
Suddenly, a figure walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. I just heard a piece of news that the Queen has sent someone to propose marriage to the Fourth Prince!"
"***? You're still not quiet even after being driven out of the imperial capital!" The queen's face darkened. "Whose girl did *** talk to the fourth prince about?"
"She is the daughter of Chang Yi, the governor of Yancheng."
The queen's expression suddenly became even uglier!
The Queen Mother and the Queen actually set their sights on this!
The queen was a little panicked.
She was certain that the emperor would not make the fourth prince the crown prince, but she could not guarantee that the emperor would not agree to this marriage!
Once the Fourth Prince marries Chang Yi's daughter, it will be equivalent to having the support of a hundred thousand troops behind him!
The court also has the Cao family's full support, and those ministers are the most proficient in weighing things. I wonder how many of those who originally supported the Third Prince will secretly switch to the Fourth Prince's camp.
This move really caught the queen off guard!
"Come here, keep an eye on the movements in the Queen Mother's Palace, and notify me immediately if there is any news."
……
As soon as the emperor came out of court, the empress dowager invited him to her palace to discuss the marriage of the fourth prince.
"Your Majesty, look! This is the portrait of Miss Chang. I think she is gentle and quiet, and a perfect match for the Fourth Prince." The Queen Mother brought the portrait before the Emperor.
"Since it is the Queen Mother who has chosen you, then you will be the one to decide on this marriage. Let's finalize it." The Emperor agreed immediately.
If he doesn't agree, the Queen Mother will not let it go.
Rather than letting the Queen Mother force the appointment of a crown prince, it is better to stabilize the situation by arranging a marriage first.
When the Queen Mother saw that the Emperor had agreed, she immediately took out a piece of red paper and said, "Your Majesty, I have had their horoscopes compared, and there is a day this month that is particularly suitable for them to get married."
"This month? Even if it's the end of the month, there's only 20 days left. Isn't that too hasty?"
"Don't be hasty. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. We should keep preparing. Half a month is more than enough." The empress dowager was eager to let the young lady of the Chang family set off tomorrow and get married as soon as possible.
"The Queen has been taking care of the Third Prince. Thank you, Queen Mother, for arranging the Fourth Prince's marriage."
