Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

The prince nodded solemnly.

Yan Xiang pondered for a moment and sighed: "Then it's only a matter of time before Your Majesty knows."

"Someone just came to report that the Lei family's uncle and nephew are not dead. They hold the secrets of my Yan family and are being secretly escorted to Beijing."

The prince disdainfully said: "It's empty talk, we have plenty of ways to refute it."

Prime Minister Yan announced a list of names: "Within three days, these people will be brought before the emperor."

"One person's words can be concealed, but how can one's words be completely blocked?"

"Han Qing, Lu Chen, Shen family, Gu family... these people have been watching us for many years, how can they let this opportunity pass?"

The prince looked ugly, and everyone pushed him: "What a bunch of bullshit!"

Prime Minister Yan shook his head: "The ones who really want our Yan family to collapse the most are not them."

The prince thought about something and hesitated: "Grandpa means..."

Yan Xiang said in a low voice: "I didn't want to do this at first, but the arrow was ready."

"Prince, it's time to make a choice."

"Do you want the throne?"

While the two were having a secret conversation, Concubine Ji had already been placed on her own bed by the emperor.

She didn't know what to say to the emperor at this time, so she simply kept her eyes closed and pretended to be faint.

The emperor was concerned and confused at first, but he already discovered the clues halfway, but he didn't expose it. He just touched Concubine Ji's belly intentionally or unintentionally when he put her down.

Concubine Ji:...

Just very angry!

But she was fainting now, and it was not convenient for her to get up and get angry, so she could only close her eyes and sulk.

The emperor looked at her face pretending to be sleeping, and glanced at the pillows on the couch and the sachet around Concubine Ji's waist.

He couldn't help laughing, it turned out that it was just sweat medicine.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps walking out and the sound of a door closing softly could be heard in the house.

"The royal concubine?"

Auntie stepped forward and gave her hot water to wipe her face: "Your Majesty is still waiting."

"This is a note from His Highness."

Concubine Ji picked up her spirits and felt surprised as soon as she took a look.

How did Yan'er know that the queen drugged the emperor?

Thinking of the maid who spoke in front of the emperor not long ago, Concubine Ji frowned again.

How much did the palace maid hear?

Is it even Yan'er's life experience...

Just as she was worried, she saw the note Rong Yan gave her that read at the end: The palace maid can be trusted, and the mother and concubine can rest assured.

Concubine Ji breathed a sigh of relief and sent the small note to the palace lantern to burn it clean.

"Let's go and see His Majesty."

The emperor was interrogating the maid: "Tell me, what did you hear?"

The palace maid trembled and lay on the ground: "Slave, I dare not say..."

The emperor said with a cold face: "If you dare not say anything in front of me, I will forgive you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the palace maid concluding in a eloquent voice: "My servant heard the queen say that she knew that the imperial concubine was pregnant, but the child could never be your majesty's because she had given him medicine. Your majesty does not have that ability."

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

The palace maid took a breath and continued: "Then the queen used this to blackmail the imperial concubine and asked the imperial concubine to go to your majesty and take the initiative to admit that the imperial concubine was responsible for stationing troops and so on. Otherwise, she would report her."

"Later, the imperial concubine said that she was not pregnant and could not bear the crime. The empress became unhappy and started to curse and cursed, saying that she would kill the imperial concubine."

"The Empress also said that she would tell others that it was the Imperial Concubine who coveted the position of Queen and wanted to do harm to the Empress. She accidentally killed others out of self-protection and would not suspect anything."

His Majesty the Emperor, who had gone through great storms, fell into silence for a long time. Even though he was pretending to be a professional and virtuous father-in-law, his whole body was a little stiff at this moment.

Ah, so to speak, in recent years, it seems that no little master has been born in the palace.

Knowing His Majesty's big secret, he won't be able to see the sun tomorrow, right?

Probably not. Your Majesty is a wise king, and he doesn't like things like killing people and silencing them.

After adjusting his mood, the emperor cleared his throat: "You, palace maid, do you speak without pausing?"

"Do you know what you just said?"

"This is about me and the Queen. If there is a falsehood, do you know the consequences?"

The palace maid kowtowed, with an unchanging smile on her face facing the ground: "I don't dare, this slave."

The emperor asked Gongsun Zhongjing very calmly: "Is there any way to make the queen wake up earlier?"

Concubine Ji's nails dug into her palms, and many terrible thoughts passed through her mind.

What puzzled her most was when, where and by whom the medicine was replaced?

Gongsun Zhongjing said: "Yes."

It was at this time that the prince asked for an audience and entered together with Concubine Ji who was waiting outside the palace gate.

The emperor was a little tired.

"I will give your mother a chance to defend herself."

The prince knelt down in front of the palace: "Father, is the friendship between you and your mother, the young couple, not worth the nonsense of a servant?"

The emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "Are you talking nonsense? I'll tell you when your mother wakes up."

The prince gritted his teeth: "Father, do you really don't want to believe your mother? Or do you want to believe the Yan family?"

"Why did you turn a blind eye when Concubine Ji drugged the queen mother in an attempt to kill her? When the third child secretly hid the dragon robe and was suspected of colluding with the evil messenger, you could make it a trivial matter, but now you have a different attitude towards us? "

Emperor Su Rong looked at him: "Prince, is this the same thing?"

"This is not a question of belief or not. Everything must be based on evidence. If you are truly innocent, why are you afraid of confrontation and careful investigation?"

Furthermore, if others don’t talk about the dragon robe thing, don’t you know what’s going on? I'm not an old fool.

It's a pity that the prince can no longer listen to these words.

"Father, I ask you again, are you really unwilling to believe us?"

Everyone, including the emperor, felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The emperor lowered his eyes: "How are you doing?"

The prince stood up with a gloomy expression: "Father, you forced me to do this."

Dozens of imperial guards filed in, holding weapons and standing behind the prince.

The emperor angrily shouted: "You want to rebel?"

But the prince laughed and said, "Father, what you said was wrong. It was Concubine Ji who had evil intentions and poisoned her father and mother. After being discovered, she was still stubborn and unrepentant. The third brother forced the palace to usurp the throne to save his mother, and his sons and ministers came to rescue him." Too late, too late to save my father's life, so I can only kill the thief with my own hands."

The emperor's eyes turned cold as he thought of the past events that he least wanted to recall in his life.

"Prince, please think clearly. If you take this step, you will be a traitor."

Before the prince could speak, another person strode up from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong."

"History is always written by the victors."

"Your Majesty, those who understand current affairs are heroes. I hope you will cooperate and write the edict of passing the throne."

"Anyway, the jade seal has been recovered, hasn't it?"

The emperor glanced at the shining sword tips in the palace: "What if I say no?"

Yan Xiang laughed: "It doesn't matter."

He took out a piece of bright yellow paper from his arms and said: "I have always been willing to do things for you."

"Just like when I killed Emperor Wen for you, you could replace him and stay on the throne for more than ten years."
