Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 392 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis'

Upon hearing this, Song Zhihua felt a little regretful, but at the same time, she was also a little puzzled.

"When I escaped from the palace, the child was still healthy."

Later, the Song family said that Shen Huaizhi had been poisoned for some reason and his health had been poor, but looking at him today, his martial arts skills were so strong, it didn't seem like he was poisoned. Could it be that he had been cured?

Tang Jingfan felt a little guilty. He didn't dare to tell Song Zhihua the truth. He had been jealous that Song Zhihua had a child with the Emperor, so he poisoned the child and even planted people around Shen Huaizhi to monitor him.

Later, after Tang Jingfan and Song Zhihua had a child, he gradually relaxed his surveillance of Shen Huaizhi.

But Tang Jingfan dared not tell Song Zhihua any of this, even though Shen Huaizhi might have been cured now, he did not intend to tell Song Zhihua the truth.

Tang Jingfan changed the subject: "The birthday banquet is over. What are your plans now?"

Song Zhihua shook her head. She couldn't contact the old members of the Song family now, but she figured that under Emperor Xinghe's siege, there probably weren't many left.

Even if she had any plans, she would only be able to formulate them after the escaped Song family members contacted her.

Song Zhihua countered Tang Jingfan's question: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to place people in the Imperial Guard and the Infantry Commander's Office?"

Any progress? We've finally made it back to the capital; we can't just go back so easily.

Tang Jingfan smiled and said, "I have been secretly contacting court officials and I have been infiltrating my own people into the deployment of troops in the capital."

Before the Lunar New Year, in the southern border region, Ye Jing'an and his son Ye Yunzhou of the Ye family faked their deaths and defected to the Ye family, bringing with them a large number of soldiers.

I have ordered Ye Yunzhou to lead a portion of his troops, disguised, to infiltrate the capital and await the opportune moment.

But that's not enough. I think we should focus on the princes, preferably making them fight each other. That way, I can stay in the capital and develop my power base slowly..."

Song Zhihua nodded; she also thought it was the right thing to do.

As for the Ye family, Song Zhihua had heard from Song Ming that the Ye family's easy decision to side with Tang Jingfan seemed to be because the Ye family had some connection with her father.

But Song Zhihua's father had long been killed by Emperor Xinghe, and she could no longer contact the old members of the Song family. Let's not tell Tang Jingfan about this.

Tang Jingfan looked at Song Zhihua and suddenly had another idea: "Hua'er, Shen Huaizhi hasn't met your biological mother yet, has he?"

I think you should find an opportunity to see him. Although he has now reunited with his elder brother, a mother's heart is still connected to her son's, and I don't believe he can completely let go of you as his mother.

Even if we can only get some news about the Emperor from Shen Huaizhi, it will be worth it..."

Song Zhihua was unaware that Tang Jingfan had secretly poisoned Emperor Xinghe before even entering the capital. The fact that Emperor Xinghe was constantly ill after the New Year was a sign of poisoning.

Tang Jingfan was very confident in the poison he had administered, but he had one doubt: he had given the same poison to Shen Huai, but why did Shen Huai's health suddenly improve?

Tang Jingfan suspected that the other party might have found some highly skilled doctor. If such a person truly existed, he would strike first and eliminate him as soon as possible; he certainly didn't want this person to be the antidote for Emperor Xinghe…

After a long day of travel, Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi bid farewell to Emperor Xinghe and Empress Xinghe and returned to their residence.

With half of Shen Huaizhi's identity revealed, Emperor Xinghe could now openly bestow rewards upon him.

Although Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi still lived outside the palace, Emperor Xinghe, citing concerns about their safety, gave Shen Huaizhi a 500-man guard team specifically to be responsible for his safety.

In fact, this guard was only the basic requirement for princes. Other princes also had guards, but since they had not yet married or established their own residences outside the palace, Emperor Xinghe did not provide them with as many guards for the time being.

After Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi returned to the mansion, they settled in with all the guards and had some late-night snacks before finally getting settled.

But Su Jinyue didn't rest. She knew that after Prince Jing and Consort Hua returned, they would definitely talk about some private matters, so she opened the backend of the little bee monitoring system for Consort Hua early on.

Therefore, Su Jinyue was fully aware of the conversation between Tang Jingfan and Consort Hua after they returned to the mansion.

It can now be completely confirmed that Consort Hua is Song Zhihua.

Su Jinyue never expected Tang Jingfan to be so love-struck. For the sake of Song Zhihua, he actually chose to betray his own brother. It seems that he is even plotting to seize the throne from Emperor Xinghe.

It is unclear whether Tang Jingfan had such ambitions before, or whether his thoughts arose from his unrequited love for Song Zhihua after she was taken into the palace by Emperor Xinghe, which twisted his mind.

Based on the footage from the surveillance cameras, Su Jinyue guessed it was the former.

Because she discovered that Tang Jingfan and Song Zhihua weren't truly in love; they still had their own selfish motives.

During Song Zhihua's childbirth, she switched the Third Prince Tang Ruiqian and Shen Huaizhi. The Song family knew about this, but Tang Jingfan was unaware of it.

Shen Huaizhi and Emperor Xinghe were poisoned by the same poison. Originally, Su Jinyue suspected Song Zhihua, but now she suspects that Tang Jingfan was the one who administered the poison.

Tang Jingfan did not tell Song Zhihua about this.

These two people, though bound together in the name of love, actually harbor their own ulterior motives.

Tang Jingfan's obsession with Song Zhihua stemmed from his unrequited love, while Song Zhihua was forced to feign compliance in order to find a place to settle down and make a living.

Fortunately, they have a child together, otherwise Tang Jingfan and Song Zhihua would have fallen apart sooner or later.

Thinking about their next plan, Su Jinyue never expected that the Ye family was actually Tang Jingfan's people!

Su Jinyue recalled that in the plot, five years later, the third prince Tang Ruiqian succeeded to the throne and became the new emperor, and Tang Jingfan was appointed as the regent.

In this way, it seems reasonable that the Ye family, as supporters of the regent, were exonerated and that the exiled people were able to return to the capital without charge.

But Su Jinyue felt that the story was not over yet.

Because in the storyline, the remnants of the Song family won't be eliminated as easily as they are now, and the Third Prince Tang Ruiqian is Song Zhihua's son, so the Song family will definitely side with Tang Ruiqian.

Tang Jingfan has become the regent, and he is only one step away from the throne. Would he be willing to give up that step for a woman?

Su Jinyue didn't think Tang Jingfan could resist. Between a woman and power, Tang Jingfan, as a man, would most likely choose power; that's human nature.

After that, Su Jinyue had no idea who would emerge victorious.

But Su Jinyue will not allow the ending in the story to play out in reality.

Now that Su Jinyue knows that Tang Jingfan is the one secretly coveting the throne, she has the upper hand and will not let Tang Jingfan succeed, even if it is for Shen Huaizhi's sake.
