The prince did not hear the previous conversation between the queen and Concubine Ji, so he did not know why Concubine Ji knew such secrets, but he already instinctively thought that Concubine Ji was doing this to compete for favor.

"I really underestimated you before!"

He put the queen down and suddenly pulled out a soft sword from his waist.

"It's a pity that you are still too naive."

"If I kill you, who will know this?"

"Guhui will tell everyone that you were the one who made trouble for the queen when you saw the Yan family lost power. You had evil thoughts after having a quarrel with the queen."

"Want to replace the Queen Mother? I want to see if you are destined to die!"

Very good, Concubine Ji has determined that the Queen has not told the Prince about Yan'er's life experience. In this way, it is worth one life with the Queen.

Thinking this way, she was ready to accept any chance of fate, but it was a pity that she still couldn't hug Yan'er properly before she died.

The sword light flashed, but Concubine Ji did not feel the pain she should have felt. Instead, she heard the prince cry out in pain——

"Where did that beast come from?"

Walnut's eyes widened with anger, and he slapped the prince's wrist with his paw.

It was now all over the prince's chest, squeezing him out of breath. This claw was so powerful that it finally made the prince unable to hold the sword and let go of his hand.

Walnut was not interested in fighting, so he threw the sword far away, and then stood in front of Concubine Ji, looking like a guard.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The prince turned around in panic - how could it happen so quickly?

Xiaoxiao, who was still hiding in the space, pinched her nose. Of course it was her doing it. She couldn't rush out to save people, and she couldn't let the walnuts bite the prince directly, so she had to call in reinforcements.

The emperor looked at the ridiculous scene in front of him and looked very ugly.

"Prince, Concubine Ji, I need an explanation."

Concubine Ji was already determined to die, so she hadn't thought about it yet. The prince was different. He couldn't give Concubine Ji a chance to speak! Otherwise, wouldn’t the Yan family, which was already in trouble, be hopeless?

So he spoke first: "Father! Concubine Ji has evil intentions. In order to seize the position in the middle palace, she actually poisoned the mother! Father, even if foreigners have not had the opportunity to clear up their grievances for themselves and the Yan family, the queen is still the mother of a country after all. !”

"What Concubine Ji did is unacceptable under national law! Please order her execution immediately! Revenge for your mother!"

The emperor's first reaction was that the prince was talking nonsense, but he couldn't hold it back. Could Concubine Ji be interested in the position of the queen? She is not even interested in herself as the emperor!

But the queen did fall to the ground, and she didn't look like she was okay, and Concubine Ji didn't even defend herself.

Could it be true...

At this time, a man came out from behind the emperor and walked straight towards the queen without waiting for his order.

Apart from Gongsun Zhongjing, Xiaoxiao could not think of anyone else who could immediately think of treating patients in front of the emperor instead of waiting for orders.

What no one expected was that as soon as Gongsun Zhongjing turned the queen's head over, he said, "She's not dead, she's just unconscious."

The most shocked person at the moment was actually Concubine Ji - she had clearly put the poison that could seal the throat when it saw blood into the Queen's tea cup?

Gongsun Zhongjing said: "The queen must have been poisoned by Mongolian sweat medicine or something like that."

The prince still felt uneasy: "But the blood on my mother's face..."

Gongsun Zhongjing told him with certainty: "The blood was from the bump when he fell. It seems that he hit his nose while facing the ground."

The prince didn't understand: "After all the collision, why is there still no movement from the Queen Mother? And look at the Queen Mother's hands, feet and neck, they are all hanging down with no strength!"

He glanced at Concubine Ji and said, "Maybe the person who administered the medicine is inexperienced and the weight is too high."

He pressed on the Queen's pulse for a while: "Looking at this situation, the Queen will not wake up within three days."

Concubine Ji:...

emperor:……

The prince reacted for a while, then looked at Concubine Ji with indignation: "You lied to me!"

Concubine Ji said to herself, "I didn't, but there were so many surprises that she didn't know where to focus."

At this moment, a "Palace Maid" rushed in: "Your Majesty, this servant was outside just now and heard the Queen accusing Concubine Ji of seducing Your Majesty behind her back and coveting the position of Queen. She also scolded her a lot. He said ugly words and even said that he would kill the imperial concubine and the child in her belly!"

Concubine Ji looked over in surprise. Why didn't she remember that there was such a clever person in the palace?

The emperor's facial features were distorted: "Child, child?"

Concubine Ji was annoyed: "I just ate too much!"

What do you mean, do you want everyone in the palace to know that she has gained weight?

The emperor was called over from the morning meeting. When he learned that something happened to Concubine Ji, Rong Yan followed him. When he saw the crowd, he "disappeared" for a while.

In the eyes of others, this time was just a few breaths, so no one noticed it. However, when he appeared again, he already knew what happened just now.

The emperor felt a little confused: "What happened just now?"

Concubine Ji also felt confused. She was mixed with all kinds of emotions at the moment. She was about to prove the queen's crime first, but she saw Rong Yan winking at her.

Even though it was just a glance, the heart-to-heart connection between mother and son made her immediately understand what her son meant.

So she took a step forward: "Your Majesty..."

He fainted.

When you don't know what to say, fainting is a tried-and-true procrastination trick.

However, this trick allowed her to find opportunities to find out and fill in the gaps, but... didn't it also give the prince a chance to make plans?

Besides, if we wait until the queen wakes up, won’t everything be hidden?

Despite being so worried and nervous, Concubine Ji still followed Rong Yan's hint and fell down.

She didn't fall to the ground as expected, but was hurriedly held up and picked up sideways.

She had been in this embrace not long ago.

why?

Why did he let Yan'er grow up safely despite knowing that he was not his child?

Why did he keep her secret and keep her in the harem, pampering her for many years despite knowing that she had done something treacherous?

Why...are you so nice to her?

When the prince saw this, he became very angry: "Even if she didn't hurt the life of the queen, shouldn't she be punished if she drugged the mother of the country?"

The emperor asked him in a cross-hug posture: "Isn't your mother supposed to be grounded?"

"Is it Concubine Ji who went to Fengqi Palace to cause trouble for the Queen?"

When the prince heard this, he knew that the emperor was planning to protect Concubine Ji. He was immediately furious. It seemed that his mother and concubine were right about at least one thing. His father's heart was boundless.

Fortunately, Concubine Ji has never liked Rong Yan. Otherwise, would it be his turn to be the crown prince?

With an aggrieved heart, he turned around to find Prime Minister Yan. The prison was called an iron barrel and no one was allowed to enter without instructions. But that was for ordinary people. He had controlled the government for many years, and the prince wanted to see Yan who had not yet been convicted. Appearance is not a difficult thing.

After hearing what happened from the prince, Prime Minister Yan, who took off his official uniform but still maintained his authority, only asked one question.

"Concubine Ji knows the truth that Your Majesty has been childless for many years?"
