Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 496: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 55

The emperor did not answer her, but just glared at her. Is this the time to say whether the candy beans are sweet or not?

"You, what do you mean? Hurry up, catch her!" Candy beans? Had the pills she had been carefully hiding been swapped out? Wouldn't that mean their efforts would be in vain?

The two eunuchs quickly walked towards Cui Xiaoxiao, and Cui Xiaoxiao didn't even blink. The emperor's secret guards appeared and took them down with just a few moves!

However, without the emperor's order, they did not dare to touch the queen rashly.

Cui Xiaoxiao stood beside the emperor, thinking that if the queen suddenly tried to assassinate the emperor and there was no danger, she could still save her. After all, there would be many benefits for saving the emperor.

"It means exactly what it says!" Cui Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders when she saw that there was no danger anymore. Not only did they replace her poison pill, they also replaced the medicine inducer she was carrying with her!

"Haha, hahaha, that's right. These past few days, have you been looking at me like a clown?" The Queen also knew that the game was over. She no longer had any chance of winning and felt like she had lost all her strength!

"No, in fact, you have been very successful. No one has noticed it for more than 20 years, but what I can't figure out is why the Ouyang family suddenly launched such a large-scale assassination? If it continues like this, the fifth prince will also have a good hope, right?" This is also what the emperor has always been puzzled about!

"Your Majesty, do you still remember our son? Do you know how much he has suffered over the years? Clearly, clearly there was hope, but why did he get poisoned again?

He died in the darkness of dawn, a feeling of hope only to be followed by despair. No one can understand this feeling. Do you know how I felt during his last few days, when his body was in so much pain that it twisted into a knot, and he cried every day and begged me to kill him?

My heart is torn as if by a thousand arrows. He died of such pain. How I wish I was the one who was poisoned!"

"My son hasn't hurt anyone. He's suffered so much, so why are you all targeting him? I can understand others, but why do his in-laws have to get involved? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"But it doesn't matter. No one can tolerate him, but I want him. Since no one can tolerate my son, then everyone should go and accompany my son! With his father, the emperor, his mother, his brothers, and his maternal family by his side, he won't be lonely on the road to the underworld.

It's a pity that such a grand operation, at such a high price, only took away Old Nine, and I could even survive." The Queen recounted all this calmly!

"I lost, all my plans were in vain! I lost with all my heart, but I am not ashamed to lose to the emperor. Since I can't take you away, I can always control myself. You can exchange my medicine, this knife can't be fake?" The queen pulled out a dagger from her calf and stabbed it directly into her heart.

"Fen'er... Fen'er..., why are you doing this..." Upon seeing this, the emperor hurriedly got off the bed and held the queen in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I have one last request of yours. After I am gone, I hope to be buried with the Crown Prince, with me by his side, so that he won't be alone. Is that okay? If...if there is an afterlife, Fen'er only wishes to never join the royal family again, so that my son will definitely live well. It's good that...it's over, and I will be relieved. I'm going to see my son, it's...so good..." The Queen closed her eyes with a relieved smile in the arms of His Majesty!

Just at this moment, the Fourth Prince, who was covered in blood and bandages, the Seventh Prince, and the ragged and miserable Tenth Prince strode in with their men, while the First Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Fifth Prince were also brought in tied up!

Obviously, the war inside and outside the palace has ended, and the winner is now decided!

"Father, you finally woke up? That's great. I'm sorry for being late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." All the princes knelt down immediately.

The emperor ignored them. He carefully picked up the queen and placed her on the dragon bed, and tidied her hair and dress.

When so many people came in, Cui Xiaoxiao quickly curled herself up into a ball, squatting in an inconspicuous corner, minimizing her presence. She'd been here these past few days, and she'd learned everything she needed to know. The big guys, please don't hold her accountable later!

After standing up, he secretly exchanged a glance with the Tenth Prince. Seeing that both of them were fine, he felt relieved!

The emperor finally had time to deal with his sons' affairs! He began to name and explain what had happened recently and what was happening outside.

As for the kidnapped princes, they wouldn't be so foolish as to claim they were plotting to usurp the throne. They all said they were there to rescue the emperor! But they were thwarted by the Fourth Prince. It must be the Fourth Prince who plotted to usurp the throne...!

The Fifth and Eighth Princes even pointed their fingers at the mute Third Prince! The troublemaker Sixth Prince sobbed and expressed how worried and scared he had been these days, and how much he wanted to be with the Emperor... His expression was as exaggerated as it could be!

After all his sons had finished speaking, the emperor flew into a rage and angrily scolded all his ambitious sons. After venting his anger, he directly stripped the eldest, fifth and eighth princes of their thrones and locked them up in the clan residence!

The remaining princes saw the imperial physician and started working as soon as their limbs were intact!

His Majesty also needs to understand the every move of the civil and military officials during this period. There are too many officials involved this time, and whether to kill or keep them requires consideration from all aspects!

Cui Xiaoxiao was finally free again. The first thing she did was to report her safety to the imperial concubine, and then she hurried back to find her son. She hadn't seen him for several days and missed him very much.

The Tenth Prince has started a new round of busyness!

Although the Empress's death was not a grand ceremony, the Imperial Concubine and Cui Xiaoxiao and other female relatives still needed to mourn in the palace! The princes were busy during the day and still had to come to the funeral at night!

All members of the royal family lost weight at a rate visible to the naked eye.

There was no peace outside the palace either. Officials were constantly being raided, their homes confiscated, beheaded, imprisoned, and exiled...

Some officials even went to the Prince Jing's Mansion to plead for mercy before receiving the imperial edict. This also included the Le'an Marquis Mansion. Cui Xiaoxiao had been leaving early and returning late during this period, and had been staying in the palace all the time. The mansion was closed and no outsiders were allowed to see them!

As for the Marquis of Le'an, who had always been following the Fifth Prince's lead, they had finally calmed down. The entire family trembled in fear in the mansion, constantly sending letters to Cui Xiaoxiao for help.

Cui Xiaoxiao simply threw the post away! She was almost dying of exhaustion, so who would have the time to care about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion?

Cui Xiaoxiao had discussed the issue of whether the Le'an Marquis' Mansion should stay or go when she was accompanying the emperor in the palace. Cui Xiaoxiao said that it should be a matter of impartiality and not be considered for the sake of her and Prince Jing's face. Those who deserve to be beheaded should be beheaded, those who deserve to have their property confiscated should have their property confiscated, and those who deserve to be exiled should be exiled!

The emperor asked her why she didn't plead for mercy. Shouldn't a married woman consider her mother's family as her support? Wasn't she worried that he would blame her for being unfilial? After all, there are no perfect parents in the world.

Moreover, if the matter was handled impartially, Cui Xiaoxiao would no longer be the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, but the daughter of a criminal. The gap between the two would be huge.

Cui Xiaoxiao then told the story of her parents' grievances and the suffering she had endured since childhood. She also said that not intervening in revenge was the greatest mercy, but she would never forgive her father for killing her mother and annihilating her family.

The emperor was speechless now. After all, this kind of thing was very common in the royal family. But in ordinary people's homes, it was a bit too much!

In fact, after she got married, Cui Xiaoxiao was ready to feed poison to the Marquis, but the Tenth Prince stopped her, saying that he would still be useful. He also assured her that the consequences for the Le'an Marquisate would be disastrous in the future, so Cui Xiaoxiao didn't care!

Sure enough, after Cui Xiaoxiao got married, the Marquis was eager for quick success and completely sided with the Fifth Prince, firmly fighting for him in every way! This was also his fate. Among so many princes, he chose one who was not the emperor's bloodline. If he had chosen any other prince, he would not have made such a mistake.

Now, the Marquis's Mansion has started to beg for mercy and even use threats and inducements on her. If she doesn't help the Marquis's Mansion this time, they will publicize her unfilial behavior.

Cui Xiaoxiao sent someone to deliver the letter that she had found in the Marquis' Mansion, which contained the letter about the Marquis and others conspiring to murder the Hua family, to Cui Mingen!

The Marquis' Mansion was completely extinguished!

Not long after the Empress was buried, the verdict of the Le'an Marquisate came down. The entire mansion was demoted to commoners, their property was confiscated, and they were exiled three thousand miles away!

Cui Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved.

When they set off, Cui Xiaoxiao also went to see them off. How could she feel happy if she didn't go to see their miserable plight?

But forget about showing up and giving away gifts!

I saw a group of people wearing prison uniforms and shackles, gradually leaving the capital under the leadership of officials.

"Goodbye, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion! Cui Xiaoxiao, Madam Hua, did you see that? They all got the retribution they deserved!" Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the sky and muttered to herself!

At night, Cui Xiaoxiao went to see Cui Ningning. Now her eyes were dull, she was skinny, and she looked like a walking corpse. The place she lived in was very dark and damp, with no sunlight, like a cage.

It was obvious that life in the Kangwang Mansion was very difficult without favor, status, and money. In her current state, even if she didn't take action, she wouldn't live for two years.

Cui Xiaoxiao no longer cared about her. After all, death would only be a relief now, so it’s better to let her live!

A few days later, the Fifth Prince, unable to bear the blow of failure, died suddenly in the clan residence! Cui Xiaoxiao understood that this was the intervention of the emperor!

But she also found it a little unbelievable. The final winner of the previous life was gone just like that? And after that, Cui Ningning's son also lost the throne? Also, she had given someone a sterilization drug, so how could there be a son?

But since she came into this world, the original owner hadn't asked her to do anything. She hadn't done anything except stealing twice, so how could things have turned out so differently?

This definitely wasn't a butterfly effect caused by her, a time-traveling woman, but what exactly went wrong? The male protagonist was gone, and the female protagonist was near death. Was the plot of this book broken again?

What Cui Xiaoxiao didn't know was that she had something to do with this. Although she didn't intervene, the Tenth Prince did! He and the Fifth Prince had fought overtly and covertly for several rounds, and the Fifth Prince had never gained an advantage.

Because of his interference, the Fifth Prince's attention and energy were all spent on the Tenth Prince and the miscellaneous matters in the backyard of the mansion! The quality of his backyard in this life was far inferior to that of his previous life.

This led to the Fifth Prince making many stupid moves, as many things were often linked to each other. Moreover, the Tenth Prince did not marry and have children like in his previous life. In this life, he had hope and wanted to lead a better life with his wife and children.

He secretly stood on one side and did some things for it, which also had some impact. All kinds of wrong things combined together caused the plot to deviate in another direction!

"I haven't seen you blink for a while since I came back. What are you daydreaming about?" The Tenth Prince spoke behind her!

Cui Xiaoxiao came back to her senses instantly, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"We've been busy for so long, and things are finally coming to an end. We can finally take a break!" The Tenth Prince reached out and pulled Cui Xiaoxiao into his arms, resting his chin on Cui Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

"Hurry up and raise your head. You have lost a lot of weight recently, and your chin has become pointed. It hurts my shoulder." Cui Xiaoxiao reached out and pushed his head away!

"How is the Royal Highness' health? I saw him vomiting blood again two days ago. Is he really okay?" The Tenth Prince whispered in her ear.

"I guess he's too tired!" He was originally poisoned, starting with the Crown Prince, and then assassinated. He was stabbed with a sword on New Year's Eve, and then forced to abdicate, and the Queen died. These were major blows, plus he was so old. The Emperor is not made of iron, so how could there be no problems?

It's not that she has no way to detoxify, but she doesn't know whether she should do it or not. In fact, she has an antidote for the emperor's poison. There is a poison book in the cave, which records the poison that the emperor was poisoned with.

She used the medicine from the Imperial Hospital and successfully created the antidote. In fact, she secretly made a copy of all the poisons and antidotes in the poison book and kept them in her space.

But she was afraid that her meddling would change the destiny of many people. His Majesty, the Emperor, was doing well in all aspects at the moment, but who knew what would happen in the future?

Many people were good before, but when they get old, their personalities change and they make a lot of stupid moves! A stupid move by the leader of a country can be fatal to countless people.

"If there is an antidote for the poison of the emperor, do you want me to detoxify him?" Cui Xiaoxiao turned to ask the tenth prince, throwing the question to him, after all, this was his biological father.

"Well, if it can be solved, then let's do it! The emperor has already put the name of the seventh brother behind the plaque." The tenth prince certainly understood Cui Xiaoxiao's concerns, and he even thought about it more.

Cui Xiaoxiao thought again of what the monks in the temple said, which seemed to be that one should not forget the original intention and listen to his heart, so that he can achieve his goal!

"Well, I'll find some time to study it, and then I'll give you the antidote. It's up to you how to use it." Cui Xiaoxiao didn't want to think about it anymore and just handed the matter over to him.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxiao!" The Tenth Prince nodded in agreement!

The entire capital had gone through several major upheavals, and even more recently, the Empress's death. The court, which had been clamoring a while ago, had finally quieted down! Many vacant official positions were quickly filled by the Emperor's men.
