erials. Since we're ordering a large quantity at once, we also need to sign a contract. There are still many things to be done afterward, and we need to complete them one by one.Ripple smiled and said...A flash of ferocity crossed Lianshan's eyes. This emperor, feeling secure in his position, began plotting to wrest the military power from the Meng family. This invasion by the Qianglang tribe provided him with an opportune chance to achieve his goals through a show of strength.

Those rumors that are harmful to the Meng family must have been spread with his tacit consent. Otherwise, how could those words have reached the inner palace at this crucial moment

Although the imperial harem was forbidden from interfering in politics, the front and back courts were deeply intertwined. So, Lianyi took the lead, because General Meng was very receptive to advice. After receiving the letter she brought back, he began to make moves. Now, the deputy general in charge of the garrison near the capital is someone General Meng recommended.

As emperor, he naturally didn't want his reign to be overthrown after a hundred years, but all three of his children carried the blood of the Meng family. If it weren't for his inability to give birth himself, he would have very likely chosen another prince, but now the emperor had no choice but to take precautions in advance to avoid these risks.

Ripples also doesn't want the Meng family to meddle in imperial power. She is not a daughter of the Meng family, not even remotely related. However, this doesn't stop her from using the Meng family to secure the position of Empress and ensure her son inherits the throne smoothly.

She was already somewhat lazy, and with the Emperor busy with state affairs, she enjoyed her quiet life, needing only to raise their three children well. But this dog emperor dared to dig a hole for her, so she would definitely get back at him. The simplest way was to make the emperor shut his mouth completely.

Lianyi is very sure that if Cuizhu entered the palace, she wouldn't survive three months. That's why she simply issued the task and reincarnated. To be honest, Lianyi prefers tasks that only require physical action. These mental tasks require maintaining a persona, which can be quite suffocating sometimes.

After sleeping on the ground all night, the emperor's headache worsened. After the morning court, he began to have a fever and had to summon the imperial physician. Ripples naturally stayed by his side, taking care of him along with the three children, while also casually brushing up her presence.

The three children's studies also came to a temporary halt, and the companions no longer had to go to the palace. As a result, Zhao Sihao, who was leaving the palace by carriage, was suddenly frightened and directly crashed into the palace gate. Zhao Sihao was thrown out of the carriage and his legs were crushed by the wheels when he fell.

Hongji specially explained the situation to Lianyi and, accompanied by his guards and imperial physicians, went to Zhao Jizhi's mansion to visit Zhao Sihao.

Ripple glanced at her own cheap son and didn't say much. She gave Hongji her own waist card and instructed in a low voice:

"Someone who is ill can be a bit sensitive, so be careful with your words and don't make them resent you."

Yes, Mother. Your son remembers.

Hong Ji led a group of people grandly to visit his tutor. This surprised Zhao, the Master of Sacrifices, who personally received Hong Ji into his home.

"Is the First Prince here to visit Hao'er"

"Yes, Zhao Jizhou, how is Si Hao doing now I've also brought along Sun Taiyi who previously treated him. Let's take another look at Si Hao."

"Thank you, Prince for remembering me."

Zhao Jisui immediately thanked them, and then led the crowd to Zhao Sihao's residence in the backyard.

Zhao Sihao's face was ashen at this moment, the pain from his broken leg kept him awake all night. He could only force himself to eat some congee and lay listlessly on the bed. He knew that his life was over.

When he heard his maid report that the Crown Prince had come to visit, a spark of life returned to his eyes.

"The Crown Prince"

Zhao Sihao only said three words, his eyes turned red, struggling to sit up and pay his respects, but was stopped by the Crown Prince.

"Sihao, you don't need to get up, just speak lying down."

Immediately, an eunuch brought a stool over for the Crown Prince to sit down.

I brought a physician, let me take a look at your leg wound again. Rest assured, once you've recovered, I'll still be your tutor.

Hong Ji comforted him.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Si Hao will surely recuperate well and return to your side soon."

Zhao Sihao immediately pledged his loyalty.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

After taking care of the aftermath and calming things down, the eldest prince returned to the palace and told Lianyi about what had happened in detail.

How is this method used

Then Ripple took a sip of tea and asked.

“As a son, I want a swift and decisive victory. Zhao Sihao puts on a show in front of me but behaves differently around others. He has bullied children his age taking advantage of my position. Now that he’s young, this is all he can do. When he grows up and becomes powerful, he will surely cause even bigger trouble. At that time, people won’t remember him, but they will blame me. I don't want to take the fall for him.”

The eldest prince replied calmly and composedly.

"Well, you have to know that Zhao Jijiu is the Emperor's man."

Ripple reminded.

The eldest prince's face creased slightly at this, his eyes narrowed in surprise as he looked at his own mother. His astonishment was impossible to conceal.

"Yes, that's exactly what you think."

"Mother and child"

"Rest assured, this time your actions have already been taken care of by your mother. Next time, please be more cautious."

"Yes, Your son thanks you, Mother Empress."

"As for those around Yun Shan, I've already found replacements. In the future, you'll have to test out the people around yourselves. Mother doesn't want a second Zhao Si Hao to appear."

"Yes, my son remembers it."

When rumors about General Meng disappeared, news of victory also arrived from the border. General Meng's army won three consecutive battles, temporarily curbing the aggression of the Qianglang tribe. At present, General Meng seems to have the upper hand.

The Emperor was overjoyed and in a good mood that day. He especially asked for Lian Yi to join him for two cups of wine.

The war on the border lasted for six months, which was only prolonged because General Meng deliberately controlled it. If he hadn't intervened, the war would have ended in just three months.

And General Meng did this to give the officers he had trained the opportunity for real combat, to accumulate military merit. Only in this way could they be rewarded with promotions.

General Meng only sat in the rear commanding the battle, and he briefed the people sent by the Ministry of War on the progress of the war, so that the Emperor knew every silver was spent properly.

After the news of a decisive victory against the Qianglang tribe reached the imperial city, the emperor exclaimed three times "good!" and proclaimed to the world that this battle was a triumph for their Great Saint Dynasty. As the leading general, General Meng was summoned back to the imperial city to receive rewards and express his gratitude.

By this time, he had already made arrangements for military affairs. He knew that upon entering the imperial city this time, he would likely not be able to return to the border town. Therefore, he appointed Xia Meng as his temporary replacement to guard the borders, along with his eldest son. He only brought his second son into the imperial city.

Mrs. Meng originally wanted to go with him, but General Meng stopped her.

“The Emperor has summoned me to the palace to receive a reward, but there is a time limit. My Deep-Er and I must reach the Imperial City within twenty days. With your current health, you can't keep up at all. Furthermore, all those entering the palace this time are high-ranking officials, all men. None of them have brought their families, so as a general, I cannot be an exception either.”

Mrs. Meng then dispelled her thoughts, but deep down, she was still unwilling to accept it.

After these matters were settled, General Meng led his men away.

Even ripples in the imperial city received the news. She only instructed her Nanny Sun to prepare a three-courtyard house in advance, so that when the general from the border arrived, he would have a place to stay. Of course, to avoid suspicion from the emperor, she used his name.s so angry that she almost fainted. While not many people believed Wen Sandidi's words before, now that her own third daughter had spoken up, everyone around understood the reason behind Wen Sandidi's...
