Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Two months later.

Su Jingyao was in a quiet and peaceful courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

She leaned against the couch, gazing into the distance through the half-open window, her expression serene.

This courtyard belongs to Li Jing. After faking her death in the fire and leaving the palace, she has been resting here to recover after childbirth. Now her body has almost fully recovered.

Li Jing gave her a completely new identity; she is now the young lady of the Ning family, a reclusive clan in the Jun Kingdom.

At the beginning of the founding of the Jun Kingdom, the Ning family was one of the most prestigious and influential families. However, due to some unforeseen events, the entire family chose to live in seclusion.

Some members of the clan went into business and became very successful in the business world; others went into politics, but they were all extremely low-key. Those who entered government service were even more careful to conceal their identities.

The reason Li Jing was able to secure such an identity for Su Jingyao was that he had once saved the life of the Ning family patriarch's father, who is now the most respected elder in the Ning family.

Li Jing possesses superb medical skills and a complex network of connections, having made many influential friends in both the business world and the martial arts world.

Because Li Jing saved his life, the old master of the Ning family solemnly promised that he could grant Li Jing one condition. Li Jing used this condition to allow the Ning family to adopt Su Jingyao, but he did not reveal Su Jingyao's true identity to the Ning family.

Now, she has a new name—Ning Qian.

Shallow waters flow endlessly, coming and going without ceasing.

The character "浅" (qiǎn) was a name Su Jingyao chose for herself.

Her and Li Jing's meticulously planned scheme was executed quite perfectly.

On the surface, the palace maid who poisoned the woman destroyed all relevant evidence, and Ye Yaqin did not even leave any evidence in the maid's possession.

Even if Jun Zechen suspects Ye Yaqin, it would be difficult to convict her.

However, Ye Yaqin was unaware that when she discovered the palace maid burning paper money that day, another palace maid, Xiao Qi, had also gone to the grove because of Li Jing's deliberate enticement.

Xiaoqi was a servant in Lin Miaoyin's palace. She was timid and fearful by nature, and initially did not reveal anything about this matter.

However, when Jun Zechen said that if the truth could not be found out in seven days, all the concubines would be buried with the Empress, people in the palaces of the various concubines and the Empress Dowager began to offer rewards for anyone who could provide evidence.

For the sake of her unborn child, Lin Miaoyin offered a large reward for anyone who could provide evidence.

The Lin family has no shortage of money.

Under immense pressure and temptation, Xiaoqi finally spoke up, trembling with fear.

If Xiaoqi did not speak up, Li Jing would have to resort to a more dangerous method to get the Dali Temple to notice Xiaoqi.

Fortunately, Su Jingyao was lucky. Xiao Qi took the initiative to tell her, and she even had the poison provided by Ye Yaqin, which was naturally a backup plan deliberately left by Li Jing.

Because of Xiaoqi's initiative, Su Jingyao was less at risk of being exposed.

Now everyone in the palace is on edge, and the atmosphere is extremely tense, so the less Li Jing does, the safer it is.

Li Jing is still in the palace, fully cooperating with the investigations, while carefully destroying any clues that might arouse suspicion about Su Jingyao's faked death and escape from the palace.

Li Jing is always meticulous, and Su Jingyao trusts him completely, believing that he will be able to handle everything well.

It will probably take another month for Li Jing to come up with a foolproof plan to leave the palace without arousing anyone's suspicion.

After Li Jing successfully left the palace, Su Jingyao planned to travel with him across the beautiful landscapes of the kingdom as brother and sister.

For Su Jingyao, love is the icing on the cake; even without love, she can still live a carefree and unrestrained life.

She has already experienced the most beautiful love in the world, and perhaps no one else will ever be able to open her heart again and make her heart flutter.

It is not suitable for me and Li Jing to develop a romantic relationship.

Deep in Li Jing's heart, Su Jingyao was the most important person in his life. However, was this importance truly love?

Because Su Jingyao had once saved his life, Li Jing always regarded Su Jingyao as his salvation and even regarded her as his master.

His humble attitude was far from the kind of love that Su Jingyao longed for and expected.

-

On the third day of the seven-day deadline set by Jun Zechen, Lin Miaoyin obtained evidence from Xiao Qi and went straight to Qianqing Palace, determined to report Ye Yaqin.

She never expected Ye Yaqin to be so ruthless. This time she killed the Empress, and there was no guarantee that she wouldn't kill her next time she gave birth.

It was also because of Lin Miaoyin's report that the Dali Temple learned about the composition of the poison, and the investigation finally had a new direction.

They questioned Ye Yaqin carefully about the time and place that night, leaving no detail unexamined.

After some investigation, traces of palace maids burning paper money were indeed found in the relevant places, which perfectly matched Xiaoqi's testimony.

Having found this crucial breakthrough, the people of the Dali Temple followed the clues and continued their investigation.

Jun Zechen personally oversaw the investigation and even dispatched secret guards to investigate, finally uncovering the letters between Ye Yaqin and the Ye family, which were undoubtedly direct and conclusive evidence of their crimes.

Jun Zechen saw the letters exchanged between the Ye family and Ye Yaqin, which contained a complete record of how to murder the Empress.

His eyes burned with rage, his jaw was clenched, and the muscles in his face trembled slightly with anger.

After taking a deep breath, he issued an edict without hesitation ordering Ye Yaqin to commit suicide.

When Grand Commander Ye received the news of his daughter's death, he felt a "buzz" in his head, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

His already aging body shuddered violently, and he instantly slumped into the chair.

He was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, restless and uneasy.

On the day the Empress died, His Majesty resolutely issued an edict to execute the entire family of the true culprit who murdered the Empress!

My daughter has already been ruthlessly put to death. Is the Ye family also doomed and not far from destruction?

But how could the Ye family become fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others?

He absolutely cannot just sit and wait to die, surrendering without resistance.

When Jun Zechen sent troops to besiege the Ye family, Grand Commander Ye's originally calm face instantly became distorted.

He was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield; how could he be afraid of a mere upstart who had just ascended the throne?

Grand Commander Ye was on high alert and summoned all the hidden soldiers to the capital.

What he said in his letter to his daughter was naturally just to reassure her. As the Grand Commander, what use was he if he didn't have his own army?

He was easily restrained by a newly enthroned young emperor.

He has come to this point because the new emperor forced him to.

If the new emperor hadn't wanted to unite with the Su family, how could he have taken the risk of murdering the empress?

However, Grand Commander Ye never expected that the new emperor would go to such lengths for the empress so soon after his ascension to the throne, even going so far as to fight him to the death.

Is the new emperor about to massacre the capital?!

Grand Commander Ye was no pushover either. As soon as the new emperor made a move, he would mobilize all the hidden soldiers to the capital, and even incite all the branches of the Ye family in other cities to launch a mutiny.

Jun Zechen learned of Grand Commander Ye's ambitions and plans from the secret guards and sneered.

If, after being reborn, he is still hesitant and timid because of the Ye family's military power, then he might as well not be emperor.

Jun Zechen, with a violent heart that had nowhere to vent, personally led his troops into the Ye residence on the seventh day after the Empress's death.

That night in the capital, the sounds of battle shook the heavens. Jun Zechen held a long sword, his eyes cold, and every swing of the sword was filled with endless killing intent.

Blood stained the streets, and corpses piled up like mountains; the scene was horrific.

To deal with the Ye family branches in other cities, Jun Zechen decisively dispatched the Imperial Guards Generals, the Left and Right Gate Guards Generals, and the Imperial Guards Generals, each leading 50,000 cavalry to several important cities of the Ye family to besiege and wipe out all members of the Ye family.

He stood on the city wall, watching the departing cavalry, his gaze firm and resolute.

The civil war lasted for nearly two months before it ended. All of the Ye family's money and land were put into the national treasury, and all of the Ye family's grain was donated to the local people to appease them for the suffering caused by the war.

At this point, Jun Zechen had finally and completely regained control of the Ye family's military power.

Su Hongyu never expected that His Majesty would be able to eliminate the Ye family so cleanly and efficiently in just a few months after ascending the throne.

He frowned deeply, his eyes filled with disbelief and profound shock.

After his daughter's death, Su Hongyu's trust in His Majesty completely vanished, and he was no longer as devoted as before.

Fortunately, the eldest prince was still there, and he was still being carefully cared for by his daughter's personal maid and Granny Lin. Thinking of this, Su Hongyu felt a little relieved.

According to Granny Lin, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager have both arranged for someone to take care of the eldest prince. At least from this point of view, His Majesty values ​​the eldest prince quite a bit.

His Majesty's ruthless methods against the Ye family made Su Hongyu temporarily willing to believe that Yao Yao might not have been used by His Majesty, but was truly killed by the Ye family.

After His Majesty regained control of the Ye family's military power, he immediately began training the army.

Su Hongyu had long been aware of His Majesty's plans. Even though many court officials came to him, pleading with him to persuade His Majesty not to launch another war and to follow the example of the late Emperor in implementing benevolent policies, Su Hongyu was still able to persuade His Majesty.

If it were before, Su Hongyu might have thought that His Majesty was just a greenhorn who had just started out, and that his idea of ​​unifying the world was too radical and arrogant.

However, His Majesty now holds great power, and military power is firmly in his hands.

Moreover, because of the Empress's death, His Majesty has become even more ruthless. If he is slightly displeased, he will punish his ministers with a beating, and in more serious cases, they will be banished from the capital.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to offend His Majesty?
