With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1015 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 27
"What happened?" A-Zhan looked up. In fact, according to the client's memory, Chen Fangjin did not have an accident tonight. After hearing Yuan Qi's report this morning, she still did not completely rely on the client's memory, for fear that something might happen and it would be difficult to undo the damage.

As it turned out, things were just as I remembered; Chen Fangjin did not have an accident tonight.

But what happened tonight that caused Zhou Huo's plan to fail is something the client certainly doesn't remember.

Initially, we arranged for someone to keep an eye on Ji Zixing, thinking that Chen Fangjin's troubles were Ji Zixing's doing.

It was only later that they discovered that Ji Zixing was an extremely cunning person who had schemed against Zhou Shi.

If Zhou Shi hadn't been involved in the plagiarism incident, dealing with Chen Fangjin would have been easy, and no one would have suspected anything. But now that the plagiarism incident had occurred, Zhou Shi was even less inclined to let Chen Fangjin successfully participate in the imperial examinations and marry Xie Ping.

Therefore, Chen Fangjin's refusal to be recruited by the Zhou family has already offended the family. They will not allow such an uncontrollable and obviously talented person to be so popular in the capital.

If it weren't for Xie Ping, they probably wouldn't have resorted to such an extreme method. They had plenty of ways to ostracize Chen Fangjin, since the Chen family had no roots in the capital.

However, once Xie Ping is involved, as long as the Chen family is not in trouble, it's only a matter of time before the emperor, who is entrusted with this matter, supports them to compete with the Zhou family.

If we can contain them, we will; the Zhou family doesn't want their enemy to grow stronger.

"Jiang Jingzhu saw that Chen Fangjin was too drunk, so he gave him a ride," Yuan Qi said. "Zhou Huo dared not involve the Prime Minister's son, otherwise things would get out of hand."

No wonder...

A-Zhu understood.

Those who rise to the position of Prime Minister are no ordinary people. Prime Minister Jiang Shengqin may occasionally disagree with his client, but the client is a true minister wholeheartedly dedicated to strengthening the Zhao Kingdom. He will support anything that benefits the Zhao Kingdom, and Jiang Shengqin is one of the meritorious officials who helped his client conquer the land. Although he doesn't go to the front lines, his contributions are significant.

The outcome, of course, wasn't good either.

He watched helplessly as the Zhao Kingdom descended into chaos, powerless to stop it even if he wanted to, and ultimately couldn't even save his own life.

Having heard too much slander from the men around him, Xie Nuo came to believe that Jiang Shengqin was a cunning and power-hungry old man.

“Keep an eye on it,” A-Zhou said.

There's no need to worry about what will happen to the people in the Prime Minister's residence. Jiang Shengqin only has one son and one daughter, whom he cherishes dearly. They are definitely protected by experts.

As long as she, the Empress of Zhao, remains in power, no one will dare to openly do anything to the Prime Minister's residence.

As for those things done behind the scenes, they can handle them themselves.

This is why Zhou Huo dared not take the risk; he must be furious tonight, as such an opportunity doesn't come every day.

"clear."

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest," Yuan Qi reminded him. Lately, His Majesty had been going to bed late every night. Even though the imperial physicians said there was nothing seriously wrong after taking his pulse every day, she was still worried.

Azhen looked Yuanqi up and down and saw that his eyes were dark circles, and felt sorry for him for a moment.

Yuan Qi is just an ordinary person, but he's quite useful. We can't let him get worn out.

"Okay, take a rest."

"Aren't there some ancient prescriptions for nourishing the skin and strengthening the body? Go see the imperial physician tomorrow and try them," A-Zhou suggested.

Yuan Qi usually didn't care much about these things, but since His Majesty had said so, she was determined to go, and quickly agreed.

The next day, Yuanqi tried the beauty cream prepared by the imperial physician. She heard that even the Empress Dowager praised it after using it. After discovering that her skin had indeed improved, she no longer had any reservations about using it.

Yuan Qi was still a little annoyed because she hadn't seen His Majesty use any beauty secrets. His skin had been getting better and better lately; although his complexion still looked somewhat pale, his skin was noticeably smoother. She thought this to herself, but didn't voice it.

When Azhen's soul transmigrated into this body, changes were bound to occur. If she wished, this body could become incredibly healthy. Currently, she didn't intend to make herself exceptionally healthy; however, people naturally appreciate beauty, and seeing her skin in such a terrible state was undesirable. Therefore, she simply focused on restoring her skin's smoothness, and sure enough, she found herself much more pleasing to the eye when looking in the mirror.

Even if those around her had questions, they wouldn't say anything, so she didn't need to explain further.

Others would simply assume that the emperor had used something special, and wouldn't find it strange at all.

The things that A-Zhu is most concerned about lately are the spring imperial examination and spring planting. Both are progressing smoothly, and they are just waiting for the results.

In his spare time, he would invite Xie Liang's family to the palace for a meal and a chat.

She would go to Empress Dowager Xie Jiang's place every day for a while. Xie Jiang knew that she had been in good health for the past few months, and she had been smiling more often.

"I can't believe how powerful Ao Kingdom was back then, even this beauty secret is so amazing." Xie Jiang looked at herself in the mirror and exclaimed in admiration, then turned her hopeful eyes to Azhen, "With such help from my son, Zhao Kingdom will definitely get better and better."

Azhen smiled and replied, "Mother will see that day."

"Let's restore the glory of our proud nation, or even make it stronger, shall we?"

Xie Jianglian said "good" several times, which meant that her daughter would live a very long time. How could that be bad?

"Mother, is this mirror useful?" Azhen moved closer to Xie Jiang, looking at the clear mirror. "Why don't we sell it to the public so that all the people of Zhao Kingdom can have the opportunity to use such a mirror? Except for the exquisite ones which are more expensive, ordinary small mirrors are affordable for most people."

The method for making this mirror was, of course, taken from the underground palace of the Ao Kingdom, which contained many valuable items.

The books Xie Nuo read contained incomplete records of the Ao Kingdom, leading him to deduce that the founding empress of the Ao Kingdom was a time traveler.

In fact, if she knew what was in the underground palace, she wouldn't need to guess; it was inevitable.

Azhen hadn't originally planned to take these things out; doing so would definitely cause a lot of trouble. But with the appearance of the underground palace, she went along with it.

"That's great, of course. Such a clear mirror is something that ordinary people in Zhao Kingdom can use, which means that our Zhao Kingdom is becoming stronger." Xie Jiang didn't think it was bad. After reading the books of Ao Kingdom, she longed for it.

Azhen couldn't help but wonder why she would create such a large-scale operation in Ao Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't create such a large-scale operation in a single world.

I wonder if it's related to the client's wishes.

"It's a pity that glass greenhouses aren't widely available yet, otherwise ordinary people in cold winter areas could also eat fresh vegetables." Xie Jiang's regretful expression made A-Zhou shake her head and laugh.

"The current conditions are indeed not right, but there will definitely be opportunities in the future," Azhen said. The Zhao Kingdom at present does not have the ability to do these things. In other words, it is still too poor. The most important thing is to have enough to eat and wear.

The Ao Kingdom's underground palace has many things, but it still requires the Zhao Kingdom to realize them step by step. Nothing can be achieved overnight.

Xie Nuo also saw that various shops had started selling mirrors, and when he heard that they were produced by the underground palace of the Ao Kingdom, he was not surprised.

Even if the bronze mirror is polished to a high standard and looks very clear, it still can't compare to the mirror she's familiar with.

When Xie Nuo bought the large full-length mirror, she showed a hint of nostalgia; she still missed that world.

But if you ask her now whether she wants to go back, you can't give her an answer, since there's still a path to heaven she hasn't experienced yet.

Half a month later, Zhou Huo seized the opportunity again, and this time Jiang Jingzhuo did not appear to see Chen Fangjin off.

Zhou Huo emerged from the private room, satisfied, and boarded the carriage, his eyes half-closed, even humming a little tune. Suddenly, the carriage abruptly stopped, followed by a thud as it fell to the ground, and then silence fell outside.

Zhou Huo was startled. What had happened?

He stared intently at the carriage curtain, not daring to go out and find out what was going on. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to shout, but in the end, he couldn't make a sound.
