The emperor seemed not to hear her words and stared straight at the third prince.
"If I said that I got the news and knew that someone would come to save my mother and concubine today, so I came here to see if the person who rescued my mother and concubine was a remnant of the Yulou Kingdom, do you believe it?"
This is indeed what he planned. The funny thing is that now he can be regarded as a remnant of the Yulou Kingdom.
"My letter."
If the third prince was with Deng Feng, there was no need to save him and Luo'er just now.
"Thank you, Father."
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and at the same time narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
My father just doesn't know his life experience yet. If he really knew, he probably wouldn't say such things.
"Okay," the emperor patted his shoulder, "help me send Luo'er back to Concubine Li's Palace."
Knowing that the emperor still had something to say to his mother and concubine, the third prince held Yu Yiluo out of the prison without asking any further questions.
"Concubine Xian, how do you want to die?"
After the two left, the emperor stood in front of the cell door with his hands behind his hands, looking at the embarrassed concubine with an indifferent expression.
Knowing that the situation was over, Concubine Xian sat down on the ground with a sarcastic look on her dirty face, "Did I tell you how to die? Your Majesty, from the day you set up the trap, I am already a dead person in your heart!"
She couldn't figure out who framed her before.
She thought about the nanny in the embroidery workshop, the queen, and even Concubine Li, but she never thought about the emperor.
But when the emperor appeared just now, she understood everything. It was the emperor who wanted her to die.
"Set up a trap?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "If I didn't set up a trap, how would I know that you, Concubine Xian, were so ambitious that you colluded with Deng Feng to restore the Yulou Kingdom. Now that Deng Feng has been arrested, it's time for you to wake up to your dream of restoring the country."
Concubine Xian was a little stunned. How did the emperor know that she wanted to restore the country? Even the third prince might not know about it.
"Your Majesty is indeed your Majesty, and you do know a lot."
She paused deliberately and continued, "But you are wrong about one thing. I am not the only bloodline of the Yulou Kingdom's royal family. In addition, there is another person. Does your Majesty want to know who that person is?"
I didn't want to reveal the traitor's life experience before, but I just wanted to drive a wedge between the traitor and the emperor, so that I could use the traitor to seize the crown prince's position.
Now that he is about to lose his life, the third prince, a rebellious son, cannot even hope to live comfortably.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian felt filled with the pleasure of revenge.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, she said to herself, "Don't you know, your emperor? The third prince who just saved you is my and Deng Feng's child, not yours."
After saying that, I waited for the emperor to show an expression of disbelief.
But the emperor just glanced at her lightly and said in a calm voice, "I know."
Concubine Xian's voice suddenly rose, thinking she heard wrongly.
"you know?"
She raised her head and laughed a few times, then stood up holding on to the cell door.
I don’t know if I am crazy or the emperor is crazy.
Knowing that the royal bloodline is being confused and still being so calm, when did the emperor's temper change so well?
"You know what he said and still believe him?" Because she didn't see the expected reaction, her face turned ugly. "I have told him since he was a child that you are always partial to the prince. When you beat him, you attributed everything to you, the emperor, because You didn't pay attention to him, so I beat him..."
The emperor interrupted her sharply, "That's enough."
"What, you don't want to hear it anymore?"
Concubine Xian had a proud smile on her face, "Even so, do you still believe him? I'm afraid he has resented you for a long time. I'm kindly reminding you."
The emperor was very jealous, so she didn't believe that he could still keep the rebellious son after all the talk.
...
the other side.
The third prince sent Yu Yiluo back to the palace and then returned to the third prince's residence.
Yang Xin, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw him coming back and stepped forward with her skirt in hand, asking in a somewhat anxious tone.
"Brother Chen, has Concubine Xian been rescued? Are you injured?"
The third prince glanced at her and shook his head.
"You seem to care about your mother and concubine? The person who rescued her was discovered by the father and was also imprisoned."
Yang Xin's face was full of anxiety when he heard this, how could this happen.
It stands to reason that the third prince, as a male protagonist, would have the aura of a male protagonist, so how could he not rescue the wise concubine?
It shouldn’t be, it’s too inappropriate.
"What should we do?" Yang Xin glanced at the third prince, but the other prince was not anxious at all, as if it was not his mother and concubine who was caught.
At this time, Ziyang came over.
"Your Highness, those people in the mansion have been sent out."
Yang Xin seemed to remember something and asked, "Who is it?"
Ziyang smiled and said: "Miss Yang, His Highness has said that the people you recruit into the mansion are too expensive to waste money on irrelevant people."
Those who are irrelevant are your tribesmen.
These words almost blurted out from Yang Xin's mouth, but luckily she held back.
"Brother Chen, those people are all capable people. Keeping them will be of great help to you."
The third prince sneered in his heart, why did he think Yang Xin was different before?
"As a prince, what else do I need for help?"
Yang Xin pursed her lips and said, "I know you respect the emperor, but he not only scolded you, but also forced you to marry someone you don't like, and now he has captured the Concubine Xian. Doesn't he want to force you to death? If you don't resist, You may not be able to save your life one day.”
She doesn't understand. Everyone else wants to fight for power, but the male protagonist is clearly capable but doesn't fight for it.
"Yang Xin."
This was the first time the third prince called her name like that.
Yang Xin shut her mouth and stopped talking.
"Do you want me to rebel?"
Now that the world is at peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Yang Xin, a man who claims that everyone is equal, actually said such a thing.
"I..." Yang Xin muttered, "I just feel sorry for you, Brother Chen. If you sit in that position, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
If the male protagonist doesn't sit on the throne, how can she be the queen? This male protagonist is really a jerk.
"Yang Xin, if it weren't for you saving me, I would have kicked you out long ago."
He rubbed his temples and turned to leave.
He didn't notice the flash of guilt in Yang Xin's eyes.
...
The next day.
Master Qin went to Tianlao to interrogate Deng Feng and found that Deng Feng had committed suicide with a letter written in blood next to him.
Picked up the letter and hurried to the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, Lord Qin would like to see you."
After letting people in, the emperor asked: "What's the matter?"
Mr. Qin handed the letter in his hand to Eunuch Cao, and then presented it to the emperor.
"Deng Feng bit his tongue and committed suicide in prison. This is what he left behind."
When the emperor opened the letter, he could still smell the faint smell of blood.
After reading the content, he handed the letter to Eunuch Cao.
It would be a pity for Deng Feng not to become a storyteller.
"It doesn't matter." He picked up the tea and took a sip.
It was expected that Deng Feng would commit suicide. He knew everything he needed to know. It didn't matter whether he was tried or not, nothing could be found in the trial anyway.
"Your Majesty, that virtuous concubine?" Mr. Qin asked respectfully.
The emperor pondered for a moment, and originally wanted to give him the poisonous wine, but he sighed when he remembered that the third prince looked worried about him and Luo'er last night.
"Let the Third Prince go see the Concubine Xian for the last time, and then give her a poisonous bar!"
