This was all thanks to Ning Caichen. She would not have been able to trip Wang Siqing without his help.
"What trick did you use on Father?"
Wang Siqing's mind was in a mess. She went forward and grabbed Wang Zisheng's collar. She gritted her teeth. "Wang Zisheng, you can do whatever you want to yourself, but don't touch my father!"
Her memories started to fade.
The young Wang Zisheng had once grabbed her father's collar like this to protect her mother.
Wang Zisheng's father had pinched Wang Zisheng. "Then die for her!"
"No! Don't!"
Wang Zisheng's weak mother screamed for the first time. She hugged her husband's leg and grabbed the sword in her husband's hand and stabbed it into her chest.
Blood splattered all over her entire body. She closed her eyes and died.
Her father had only allowed her mother to wear plain white dresses. Wang Zisheng had once told her mother that she would definitely look good in bright-colored dresses.
Now that Wang Zisheng had seen her mother covered in bright red, she wished she had never complained about the white dresses.
However, the nightmare had not ended. Her father still did not let her go and imprisoned her soul in this deep courtyard.
Wang Zisheng laughed again. She laughed like a madwoman.
Wang Siqing was frightened by Wang Zisheng, and her grip on her collar loosened a little. "Wang Zisheng… what are you laughing at?"
"We are sisters after all. Our actions, expressions, and words are exactly the same. Wang Siqing, will you choose yourself or your father?"
Wang Zisheng did not finish her sentence.
She returned to her usual indifferent expression. She gave Wang Siqing a cold glance and turned around to leave. However, she bumped into the king of the Qiqihar Kingdom.
Before Wang Zisheng could speak, Wang Siqing's surprised voice came from behind. "Your Majesty!"
Wang Zisheng became alert.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom had clearly told Wang Zisheng that Wang Siqing did not respect him at all and often ordered him around like a servant.
But now, she has addressed him so respectfully.
Wang Siqing stepped forward and hugged the king of the Qiqihar Kingdom. As she hugged him, she did not forget to look at Wang Zisheng provocatively.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom hugged her gently and did not even look at Wang Zisheng. "Siqing, you're still as naughty as you were when you were young."
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time. I had something to do during the wedding, so I didn't go."
She let go of the king of the Qiqihar Kingdom and laughed sweetly.
Wang Zisheng lowered her eyes and walked to the side.
Wang Zisheng had to investigate the matter between the king of the Qiqihar Kingdom and Wang Siqing.
There was no need to waste time here.
Unexpectedly, Wang Siqing did not intend to let Wang Zisheng off. She took the initiative to hold the arm of the king and smiled at Wang Zisheng. "Zisheng, you still don't know, right? King Qiqihar and I are childhood sweethearts."
"Alright."
Wang Zisheng lifted her eyelids and whispered softly. She raised her foot and brushed past Wang Siqing and the king.
"Zisheng, I think the king should find a new queen."
Wang Siqing shouted from behind.
Wang Zisheng stopped in her tracks and heard the king reply dotingly, "As long as you're ready, I'm ready anytime."
"I see how it is. Congratulations, Siqing."
Wang Zisheng turned around and imitated the tone of the king. She clearly understood what was going on.
Wang Siqing could be a queen.
But she would still be the queen dowager.
The elite soldiers raised by her father had been secretly replaced by Ning Caichen. They seemed to listen to her father, but in fact, they actually listened to her.
If she wanted to, the prime minister's residence and the throne could be overturned in a day.
However, she wanted Wang Siqing, her father, and Leng Jinyan to die slowly and painfully.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom had no choice but to hand over the throne to her.
Wang Siqing's face turned green.
She never expected this turn of events.
At the same time, their father rushed over and slapped Wang Siqing.
Slap!
The sound was clear and loud. Wang Siqing's face was visibly swollen.
She looked at her father in a daze and choked up. "Father…"
"Quickly apologize to your sister! What nonsense are you talking about? The position of queen can only be your sister's!"
Her father pressed Wang Siqing down and made her face Wang Zisheng.
Her father had always doted on her, so there had to be another reason for him to do this.
Wang Siqing was quite smart. Although she was unwilling, she could not help but say in a low voice, "Please don't blame me, Zisheng. It was a slip of the tongue just now."
"No worries."
Wang Zisheng took a handkerchief and wiped the hand that grabbed Wang Siqing's collar.
Although Wang Siqing was intelligent, she lacked common sense.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom was not a kind person at all. Becoming the queen would be dangerous.
As a pawn, she had to let the king of the Qiqihar Kingdom see that she had the backing of the prime minister's residence. Only then would the king not easily touch her, and she could better steal information for the prime minister's residence.
His father understood this very well.
Wang Siqing had her head lowered, so she naturally saw her sister's actions. She stomped her feet in anger.
"Father, I'm not feeling well. I'll leave first."
Wang Zisheng glanced at her father, then caught a glimpse of the king.
The king looked at Wang Zisheng meaningfully.
The moment they walked out of the dungeons, Cui'er, Wang Zisheng's maid, came to pick Wang Zisheng up and excitedly told her, "Miss, the Leng residence was really raided. I heard that the prime minister personally appealed to save them."
Wang Zisheng nodded, a little curious about Leng Jinyan's expression.
In the future, the prime minister's residence would have to help the Leng residence rise again.
This time, it was the prime minister's residence that pushed the Leng residence into the fire pit again.
"Leng Jinyan, what do you think now?"
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Ming, Zhu Asi, and the others sat on chairs and basked in the sun.
Wang Zisheng was in a good mood and told Jiang Ming the good news. "You should have seen Wang Siqing's face. It's all thanks to you, Lord Ning Caichen. Otherwise, I would have been beheaded."
Zhu Asi and the others looked at Jiang Ming strangely. They roughly understood what Jiang Ming had been doing recently, and then they were surprised.
Did Ning Caichen actually know how to manage the affairs of the court? Were things in the Qiqihar Kingdom about to change?
Noticing the expressions of Zhu Asi and the others, Jiang Ming said to them, "You guys can watch what happens next for now. There's no need to ask too many questions. The end result is the most important."
Princess Qingmiao suddenly had a bold guess.
Did Ning Caichen want to change the ruler of the Qiqihar Kingdom?
