A time-travel story where I forcefully marry the leading lady in a film/TV series!

……

"I have no idea what the future holds!" Xiao Yan sighed as she stepped out of the main hall, accompanied by a female official. "I only hope that the Marquis can return in time to take charge, so that I can finally relieve myself of this burden!"

"Your Highness is decisive!" The female official beside her smiled slightly and advised, "The Marquis will surely remember Your Highness's merits when he returns!"

"It's a bit early to talk about achievements now!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly after hearing the female official's words, and then said, "There's one last step!"

The two had now reached the square outside the main hall, where there were many eunuchs, palace maids, and guards coming and going.

This place is perfect for acting and for everyone to witness!

After saying this, Xiao Yan suddenly frowned, covered her lower abdomen with cotton balls stuffed in to pretend she was pregnant, and showed a very painful expression.

At the same time, she pressed hard on a pre-prepared blood pack in her lower abdomen, and a stream of blood flowed down her leg.

"Your Majesty!" The female official, working in perfect harmony with Xiao Yan, immediately feigned great alarm and shouted, "Blood!"

Upon hearing this, all the busy palace maids, eunuchs, and guards nearby turned to look, and everyone witnessed the Empress's "miscarriage."

"Just now in the court... I felt something was wrong!" Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xiao Yan quickly put on a very painful expression, as if she couldn't stand up without the help of the female officials.

"Quickly summon the imperial physician! This child must be saved!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the female official immediately shouted loudly! The eunuchs and maids who had been stunned also panicked upon seeing this, since they were all present at the scene. If the child could not be saved, they might all be punished at the same time!

The crowd in the square immediately erupted into chaos, but Xiao Yan and the female official exchanged a glance, both revealing a triumphant look in their eyes.

……

Meanwhile, in front of the Dawu Ancestral Temple, King Danyang, King Ying, and all the civil and military officials had already arrived.

Watching the scene of Prince Danyang pretending to help his younger brother, Prince Ying, who had a foot ailment, into the ancestral temple, the ministers waiting behind couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty truly has a deep bond with your father!"

"Yes! They're not bad at political affairs either!"

Zhang Song's political rivals were quite pleased with themselves at this time. As long as they didn't let him control the court, they considered it a success.

At this moment, he said to Zhang Song, who was standing next to him, in a sarcastic tone, "Prime Minister Zhang, things have come to this... you should try to take it easy!"

"Anyway, His Majesty has already sworn an oath to Heaven, and you will remain the Grand Secretary whose word is law!"

Of course, although these ministers said this, their tone was full of sarcasm, clearly mocking Zhang Song.

Although the Prince of Danyang had just sworn to the heavens in court that he would treat Empress Xiao Yan and her son well after ascending the throne and would continue to rely on Zhang Song, the regent minister.

But everyone knows that such a so-called oath has no binding force whatsoever! Once the Prince of Danyang has truly ascended the throne, he can easily use some means to eliminate Zhang Song's cronies and then imprison him.

As for Zhang Song's final fate, only God knows!

To be able to be demoted to a commoner and retire to one's hometown is considered extremely lucky, a stroke of divine favor!

That's why his old rivals are so smug right now, just waiting to see the moment when Zhang Song's family fortune collapses.

Zhang Song gave a cold laugh, then looked up at the sky without saying a word.

After all, the current situation is an unsolvable problem for him, and he has no choice but to accept the dictates of fate.

……

"Ancestors above!" In the ancestral temple, King Danyang had completed the preparatory steps for the sacrificial ceremony.

He knelt respectfully on the prayer mat and addressed the densely packed memorial tablets before him with utmost reverence: "Yang Xingjian, the second son of the eleventh generation of the Yang family, is now recommended by all the officials..."

However, just as he finished speaking, the eyes of Prince Yang Xingyan, who had been standing behind him, suddenly changed, and he raised his cane and struck Yang Xingjian heavily on the neck!

Although the King of England is disabled, he is still a grown man!

Moreover, he was actually quite competitive and had practiced some martial arts, so the force of this strike was considerable!

Caught completely off guard, the Prince of Danyang was struck hard on the back of the neck. His vision went black and he collapsed to the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood!

I'm afraid that just now, even if his neck bone wasn't broken, it was almost cracked!

The Prince of Danyang was not unprepared for the current Prince of Ying, but he never dreamed that this guy would dare to do such a thing in the ancestral temple!

Chapter 207 Empress Xiao Yan's Miscarriage? It Was All Just an Act!

However, under the watchful gaze of the Prince of Danyang, the King of England's expression grew increasingly cold and cruel! He turned around and pulled on a decorative rope beside him.

Immediately afterwards, the huge plaque above that read "May the Kingdom's Fortune Last Forever" fell down and landed squarely on the back of the Prince of Danyang, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood.

The Prince of Danyang was already barely clinging to life, how could he withstand another heavy blow?

With a wail, he vomited a mouthful of blood and immediately fainted.

Only then did he realize that his younger brother's rebellious intentions had been brewing for a long time! After all, this mechanism had definitely been set up beforehand, and it was not something he had decided on a whim.

But it was already too late for the Prince of Danyang! His thoughts, filled with resentment, plunged into darkness...

When the King of England saw that his plan had succeeded, he couldn't help but smile with pride.

However, after only a couple of breaths, he realized that this was not the time to celebrate, so he immediately put on a nervous and frightened look and shouted loudly outside.

"Help! Help!" The man's expression was feigned, full of tension and panic: "A huge plaque has fallen from the sky! It's a punishment for my imperial brother!"

"Help! Help!" The ministers waiting outside heard the King's shouts and rushed into the ancestral temple with anxious expressions.

They also witnessed firsthand the horrific scene of the Prince of Danyang being struck by the plaque, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and falling into a coma.

"Summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician!" Upon seeing the panicked officials, the King of England became even more engrossed in his performance and quickly shouted again.

The imperial physician immediately pushed through the crowd to the front and quickly squatted down to check on Prince Danyang's condition.

"His head and neck are unharmed, and his life is generally not in danger! But the blow may have severely damaged his internal organs!" After examining him, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy immediately said, "Quickly, send him for treatment! Hurry!"

However, the imperial physician had already lied, because he could clearly see that the scar on the back of Prince Danyang's neck was completely different from the scar on his back when the plaque fell from the sky and hit him.

Moreover, given the current condition of the Prince of Danyang, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he probably couldn't save him!

Even if I use all my strength right now, I can only barely keep him alive for a few more hours. In the end, it will be too late to save him!

However, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy was naturally Xiao Yan's man; otherwise, he wouldn't have conspired with her to stage this fake pregnancy.

Ultimately, it was also part of Wei Tingyu's plan, so naturally they knew what to say at this moment!

When the King of England heard the royal physician say that the patient could still be saved, his expression changed immediately.

If this really wakes up the Prince of Danyang, wouldn't all my actions be exposed?

However, the ministers' attention was focused on the imperial physician and Prince Danyang, so no one noticed the change in the King's expression.

Otherwise, you could tell just by guessing that there's definitely something wrong here!

"Quickly send it to the Prince of Danyang's residence!" Zhang Song, that old bastard, naturally felt that his chance had come and quickly gave the order.

"No!" However, upon hearing this, the King of England immediately retorted, "If it weren't for my sister-in-law and I arriving in time, you would have tried to kill him in front of my second brother's residence this morning!"

Upon hearing this, many of the ministers behind him showed expressions of surprise, and looked at Zhang Song with shock! Because what happened at the Danyang Prince's Mansion that morning had not yet reached the ears of every minister.

"Just now in court you were still opposing my second brother's succession!" Seeing the distrust in the ministers' eyes, the King of Ying continued, "I cannot entrust my elder brother to you!"

"Send him to my residence! I want to take care of my second brother myself!"

The King's statement was very sincere. His nervousness towards the Prince of Danyang and his distrust of Zhang Song were not concealed. Many of the civil and military officials were deeply moved by this.

Who says there's no kinship in the imperial family? Isn't there a perfect example of brotherly love and respect right before our eyes?!

"Wait!" Zhang Song was naturally unwilling and quickly tried to speak.

However, before he could finish speaking, a subordinate officer cautiously leaned over and whispered, "Prime Minister Zhang! The Emperor's fate is unknown; you might be implicated in something!"

Zhang Song was stunned upon hearing this. Under the current circumstances, it was indeed not appropriate for him to step forward and take charge of the overall situation.

After all, he had a history of leading troops to besiege the Danyang Prince's Mansion this morning. If he were to hand the person over to him, even if he genuinely wanted to cure the other party, as long as he failed in the end, the blame would definitely fall on his head!

So after the new emperor ascends the throne, he can only punish himself, and his entire family will not be able to go back to being ordinary people!

In that brief moment of hesitation from Zhang Song, the King of Ying quickly turned to the eunuch beside him and shouted, "What are you still standing there for?!"

The eunuchs then seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly carried Prince Danyang to the Prince Ying's residence.

Seeing that the situation was under control, and that the Prince of Danyang had been taken to his residence, the Prince of Ying's life was naturally in his own hands! The Prince of Ying's smug lips curled up slightly, but Zhang Song caught him in that instant.

He stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning, his face blank with disbelief.

Only then did Zhang Song finally understand that the real reason behind his long-standing power struggle with the Prince of Danyang and even Xiao Yan was that the Prince of Ying was the most deeply entrenched power-hungry schemer!

Now it seems that the matter has been settled. After being sent to the Prince of Ying's residence, the Prince of Danyang will not be able to come out alive. Therefore, the only one who can succeed to the throne is the third son!

……

As night fell, a downpour was imminent, and the faint rumble of thunder could be heard in the sky.

However, the square outside the palace was filled with a large group of civil and military officials from the Wu Kingdom. They had all learned of the Empress's possible miscarriage and had gathered there to await news.

And the King of England reappeared before the crowd, leaning on his cane...

"Your Highness, the King of England!" Upon seeing him, the ministers all bowed in greeting. The current situation in the court was naturally under the control of the King of England! Therefore, the ministers showed even greater respect to this disabled prince than before!

"Thank you all for waiting outside!" The King nodded, looking haggard, and said, "My brother's condition has finally stabilized, but he hasn't woken up yet!"

Of course, the King of England was pleased with himself at this moment, because he knew that the Prince of Danyang would never wake up again!
