After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

Ji Yu was stabbed in the chest that year, but luckily he survived. Maybe God really wanted to spare his life. The small saber was specially made for children, and the tip of the knife was very sharp. Although Xiao Qian stabbed it into his heart, it was not known how the tiny tip of the knife stabbed the non-fatal acupoint in his chest.

After being stabbed, the young prince Ying Geng was in a state of suspended animation, but everyone present thought he was dead.

When he woke up again, he had been sent out of Longchang Palace and was lying in a farmer's home in Lin'an Prefecture, being carefully taken care of by the farmer's family.

The farmer's family were all honest country people and they didn't know his true identity.

The owner of the house told him that he was brought here by a young peddler when he was unconscious. The peddler was his savior. The peddler met a caravan that was robbed on a nearby trade road. All the people in the caravan were killed by the bandits, and only the child was still alive. The peddler saved him. However, seeing that his injuries were too severe to be taken away, he was left here to recover, and he was given enough silver to ask the owner to take him in.

Although Ji Yu was young, he was very cunning. After hearing what the farmer said, he admitted it, concealed his true identity, and made up a name for himself, "Wang Xiaowu". He thought that after being stabbed to death by the queen, he somehow ended up in a farmer's house outside the palace, and must have been saved by some kind-hearted person. Later, the news that Prince Ying Yu was executed by the queen mother spread throughout Lin'an Prefecture, and he knew that he had escaped death by faking his death.

A month later, Ji Wei recovered from his injuries at the farmer's house. The owner of the house was a kind-hearted man who had always remembered the request of the peddler. He had no shortage of sons or daughters, but there happened to be a distant relative who had no children. He was an old widower over fifty years old, lonely and helpless, and had always wanted to adopt a child to take care of him in his old age.

So, with the help of the farmer's family, the old widower adopted this clever and literate orphan of a traveling merchant as his son.

In order to make a living, the old widower often followed the caravan to trade across the border all year round. After adopting Ji Ying as his adopted son, he took him with him when he traveled across the border.

During the reign of Emperor Jingxuan, Qiantang State and Xinliang State had always been on good terms, with few conflicts on the border. Instead, border trade was very prosperous, which attracted many traveling merchants to run goods across the border, selling Qiantang State's silk, tea, porcelain and other items to Xinliang State, and then bringing Xinliang State's spices, seeds, leather clothes and other items back to Qiantang State for sale.

When Ji Yin followed his adoptive father to the border, he saw wanted notices of Wang Zhifei and others posted everywhere. Only then did he realize that Lord Wang Zhifei was on the run and was most likely hiding near the border between the two countries.

Wang Zhifei is the younger brother of Wang Qi, the left prime minister among the six loyal ministers. He is the general of Qiantang State and is stationed at the border between Qiantang State and Xinliang State all year round.

The reason why he was able to escape successfully was because he received the early warning message from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion in time after the Taiping Gate Incident.

Because he was already in the border area, far away from the capital, by the time the military reports from the government reached the border, he had already rolled up his bedding and ran away.

During the reign of Emperor Jingxuan, the war on the border eased, and Wang Zhifei, a general guarding the border, lived a relatively leisurely life. His duties were also very different from before, and were all related to the management of border trade or diplomacy.

Therefore, during the off-season of border trade, he would often take a leave and return from the border to his residence in Lin'an Prefecture to recuperate for a while.

Wang Zhifei was an expert in riding and archery. Every time he returned to Lin'an Prefecture to rest, he would be summoned to Longchang Palace by Emperor Jingxuan, who appointed him as the coach of the young prince Ji Yin, teaching the young prince horse riding and archery in the training ground in the palace.

Ji Yin knew Wang Zhifei because he had been personally taught the art of riding and archery. So when he was doing trade with his adoptive father at the border, he was always on the lookout, always paying special attention to people who looked somewhat similar to Lord Wang Zhifei in body shape and appearance, hoping to find Lord Wang Zhifei one day.

Hard work pays off. In the second year of being an adopted son to the old widower, Ji Yin finally "caught" the fugitive, Wang Zhifei, in a caravan.

At that time, Wang Zhifei, using the alias Wang Zhi, was the leader of the escort team that was escorting a caravan. For the sake of safety, scattered traveling merchants like Ji Yin and his adoptive father followed the large caravan.

When Ji Wei saw the bearded leader of the escorts, although he looked nothing like Lord Wang Zhifei from head to toe - the beard covered most of his face, and the skin on the exposed half of his face was dark, while Lord Wang Zhifei originally had a white face and a scholarly look without a beard - the leader's voice somehow sounded familiar to Ji Wei.

Since Lord Wang Zhifei was a fugitive, he would definitely change his appearance and it was impossible for him to show his original appearance. So Ji Wei looked for several opportunities to secretly observe this person. Finally, judging from his body shape, behavior, tone and accent, he believed that this person was most likely Wang Zhifei, so he found a time when only the two of them were present to test him.

Wang Zhifei already knew Prince Ying Geng Ji Yin, but when he saw the little prince before, he was always dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, and was neatly dressed from head to toe. However, the boy in front of him, who was about seven or eight years old, was dressed in tattered coarse cloth clothes, and his hair was casually tied up with a piece of rag. The scattered hair looked like weeds, and his little face was dirty, and it was obvious that he hadn't washed his face for several days. Even though the child looked familiar, he didn't dare to recognize him. After all, the news from Lin'an Prefecture was that Prince Ying Geng had been executed by Xiao Qian last year.

Afterwards, the two people, one big and one small, finally confirmed each other's true identity after testing each other with words. In the end, the king and his subject recognized each other with tears.

Wang Zhifei didn't expect that Prince Ying Geng was still alive. He was really surprised and happy.

Ji Wei told his adoptive father that he had found his uncle who had been missing for two years, and that his uncle was doing well in the border area, so he wanted to stay with him to make a living. The old widower was originally a lonely and helpless person, so he agreed to let Ji Wei stay with Wang Zhifei. Later, his adoptive father passed away at the age of sixty, and before he died, Ji Wei performed filial piety to see him off to the end.

There were several other people who fled with Wang Zhifei. They were all relatives of loyal ministers guarding the border. They fled with him because they were worried about being purged by Queen Xiao. They hid near the border under different names and changed their appearances. During their hiding, they were secretly protected by Huyan Lie, the king of Xinliang. Because Emperor Jingxuan had been good friends with Huyan Lie during his lifetime, Wang Zhifei was stationed at the border with the king's permission. He often came into contact with Huyan Lie and established a close friendship with him.

Although Hu Yanlie received a notice from Xiao Qian's ruling authorities, requesting Xinliang to assist in the arrest of Wang Zhifei and others, the king of Xinliang obeyed Xiao Qian's orders on the surface, but privately turned a blind eye to the fugitives' secret escape. Xiao Qian was busy settling the chaotic situation in Lin'an Prefecture and had no time to care about the border area so far away. In the end, Wang Zhifei's small group was very lucky to survive.

Since Prince Ying Geng was still alive, Wang Zhifei and his companions naturally began to plan for restoration.

To realize the plan of restoration, we must have enough silver to recruit soldiers and reserve military pay.

Therefore, the initial stage of the restoration plan was to reserve silver first.

Although Wang Zhifei and his companions took some silver when they fled, it was only enough for food and clothing. Fortunately, trade in the border areas was prosperous and there were many opportunities to make money.

Wang Zhifei led his small group and started escorting goods and doing border trade.

As he had served as a general guarding the border and had been in charge of the commercial circulation on the border, he was very familiar with the topography, customs and trade policies of the border.
Although he was a military general, he was very smart. He subtly incorporated his skills in commanding troops and fighting into his business. Over the years, he made his business flourish and it became bigger and bigger. After accumulating a certain amount of wealth, he began to secretly reserve troops.

Due to the prosperous trade at the border, there is also a special force in the area - robbers who specialize in robbing caravans.

When Wang Zhifei was a general guarding the border, he was very good at dealing with bandits. However, under the Xiao regime, the border was plagued by constant banditry. As a general who had dealt with bandits before, he knew the reason best - it was not that they could not deal with the bandits, but that they simply did not want to deal with them. The officials and bandits colluded and worked together to enrich themselves.

The bandit problem that could not be eliminated on the border could provide cover for the Restoration Army to secretly gather troops.

Therefore, Wang Zhifei did business openly and started to raise bandits secretly. Therefore, the Restoration Army that was initially formed was gathered in the name of robbers. Although they were dressed in the guise of robbers, they did not engage in robbing and killing people for a living. Instead, they recruited many local bandits, which made the trade and public security in the border areas much better, far better than the effect of those border guards in fighting bandits.

Through this method of using business to support bandits, the size of the Restoration Army gradually grew. The core members of the Restoration Army also consciously made friends with some underworld figures who were dissatisfied with the Xiao Hou regime and absorbed them into the Restoration Army.

Later, the Restoration Army established its own secret strongholds throughout the country.

As rebel forces in various places surged, important members of the Restoration Army began to move among the various rebel forces, hoping to unite and unite the various uprising forces and incorporate them into the Restoration Army, and the progress was very smooth.

The restoration plan was proceeding in an orderly manner until the eve of the general attack, when the various rebel forces that had been incorporated suddenly raised the banner of Prince Ying Geng as planned, catching the court off guard.

Prince Ying Geng is the crown prince appointed by the late emperor. Flying under his banner is better than countless righteous slogans. It represents the restoration of the orthodox dynasty and will surely win the hearts of the people.

Ji Ying once thought that the grand plan could still be carried out without him, but this was just his one-sided opinion, which was too biased. The fact was that Prince Ying Geng had to be there, and he didn't have to do anything, but as long as he was there, the slogan of the Restoration Army to restore the country was no longer empty, and the banner of justice raised by the Restoration Army was full of confidence.

Prince Ying Geng is not only a person, but also a symbol and the focus of all the morale of the Restoration Army.

Ji Yin had been following Wang Zhifei as a escort, trader and bandit since he was a child. He had worked hard and acquired many skills, which were much more practical than the theoretical knowledge taught by the tutor in the palace. Whenever he had free time, he would diligently study and practice various kung fu, including the orthodox kung fu taught by Wang Zhifei and the unorthodox kung fu learned from all kinds of people.

For more than ten years, he gathered his energy every day, hoping that one day he could return to Lin'an Prefecture and take revenge on Empress Dowager Xiao.

Ji Wei had always wanted to know who rescued him from the palace. Was it the young man who disguised himself as a peddler and sent him to a farmer's home? What was that person's identity?
Lord Wang Zhifei said that it was most likely a person in the palace who was loyal to the late emperor. Under the current circumstances, he naturally dared not leave his name. He will slowly look for this person when there is a chance in the future.

Therefore, finding the savior has always been a concern of Ji Yin. Before he sneaked into the palace, he went to find the farmer's family, but heard that two years ago, due to a heavy rain, everyone in the village was buried under the rocks.

Later, when he sneaked into the palace, he always thought that if he had the chance, he would find out who his savior was.

Ji Yin had thought of all the possible people in the palace he could think of, from the eunuchs serving in the palace to the chores who did the cleaning, or the eunuchs and ministers he had known, but he had never thought of Xiao Qian's loyal dog Fan Mingchu.

So when Ji Yin heard Xiao Qian say that it was Fan Mingchu who rescued him from the palace, he could hardly believe his ears.
