In the main hall of Yikun Palace, the Queen couldn't help crying.
"A crime, this is a crime!"
The tears were not shed for Emperor Yong, but for herself.
Everything that happened back then is still vivid in my mind.
He pampered Concubine Jade to the heavens. Concubine Jade would not bow down or kneel down when he saw her. His all-round honor and favor towards Concubine Jade actually crushed her face as a queen into the dust.
The palace was accustomed to favoring the superior and suppressing the inferior. In those years, even she, the Queen, was completely outshined by the popularity of Concubine Jade.
Xiaosi...the birth of Xiaosi...
Thinking of this, the queen almost felt sick!
Concubine Jade had been dead for so many years, so it was okay for him not to forget her, so he got drunk on Concubine Jade's death anniversary, and then came to her Yikun Palace to be drunk.
This king of a country completely lost his dignity and dragged her to the bed, calling her Yu Liu over and over again...
Thinking of this, the tears on the Queen's face became more and more fierce.
If Zhan'er hadn't been so happy when she found out she was pregnant, shouting for a younger brother and sister all day long, she would have tried every means to abort the baby!
It took her a long time to figure it out.
She couldn't stay with Zhan'er forever, and this baby was also her own flesh and blood.
After waiting for her for a hundred years, in this deep palace of ice and cold, at least Zhan'er still has a biological brother who can accompany him to the end.
Xiaosi is a well-behaved child. He rarely cries since he was born, and he is very close to her in every possible way.
Gradually, she hid the scar, which made Xiao Si heartbroken.
That cruel man probably knew that Xiao Si came here in a disgraceful way and that he was drunk and confused, so he never gave Xiao Si a good look.
Now...haha, he actually loves other people's children!
The Queen couldn't help but show a very sarcastic expression.
At this moment, she felt vindictively that Concubine Yu had done something good!
Because once this matter is exposed, it will disgust that man to death!
"It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous! I can't wait to see what his expression will be like when he finds out about this!"
The prince and the fourth prince had completely separated from Emperor Yong. Now seeing the empress crying and laughing at the same time, the brothers felt heartbroken and their resentment against Emperor Yong became even deeper.
Not wanting to worry her two children, the Queen got up and cleaned her face. When she came back, she was back to her elegant and calm appearance.
"Zhan'er, did you just say that you want to use a drop of blood to test your relationship?"
The prince nodded and said warmly:
"Queen Mother, it is actually okay to use the blood of your children, but -"
The queen nodded before she finished listening.
"Zhan'er, you are right, this matter must be foolproof!"
The Queen looked thoughtful, and the next moment she said in a serious voice: "Zhan'er, this blood mother will think of a solution later!"
The prince was slightly startled, "Mother, you..."
The queen seemed to know what was going on, and raised her hand to gently pat the prince's shoulder.
"Zhan'er, the queen mother can't help you much, but after dealing with your father for so many years, the queen mother has her own way."
"However, it will still be some time before your second brother can return to the capital, but it is not advisable to take this blood too early."
"Zhan'er, all you need to do is keep calm, and the Queen Mother will do the rest for you!"
Being a mother means being strong, and the Queen is now fully established!
After the prince left Yikun Palace, he did not go back to the East Palace directly. Instead, he strolled to Chunhua Garden.
He stood at the fork in the road again and recalled what the old slave said that day:
"From here, whether you go to Yikun Palace, Xingrong Palace or Xinghua Palace, it will be closer."
That day he had some doubts.
He knew that the third brother was kind-hearted, but helping Sheng Xiuran leave the palace was a bit risky. After all, Sheng Xiuran was now the concubine of the second brother.
Unexpectedly, the third brother still took action.
After that, he visited his third brother several times, and his third brother always looked at him but hesitated to speak.
He saw it and guessed that the third brother had something to hide, but he didn't want to force the third brother, so he didn't ask.
Now that I think about it, Sheng Xiuran must have exchanged the secrets of his second brother's life experience with his third brother, and then he got the chance to leave the palace.
The third brother wanted to confess to him, but he was worried that getting involved in the crown prince dispute would implicate Concubine Jing and his second sister...
The prince can relate to the third prince's embarrassment.
After all, before this, he had handled everything so carefully and tried his best to protect the queen and the fourth prince.
Thinking of this, the prince sighed softly.
Now that the storm is coming, the third brother may not be able to stay out of it.
Maybe it's time for their brothers to join forces!

Five days later, letters from home in Beijing rushed to catch up with the marriage convoy.
At this point, Qiao Zhongguo has been escorting Meng Guxue for twenty-two days, and the team is about to leave the southern border of Yong Dynasty.
The letter from the Qiao family was sent by Dala La. After all, his wife and daughter were all in the capital, so it was only human nature to report that they were safe.
"My lord! My lord! Letter from home!"
Qiao Liu, the secret guard of the Qiao family, put on simple clothes and had a smile on his face. He looked naive, just like an ordinary messenger.
When Qiao Zhongguo heard the sound, he turned around and saw Qiao Liu's face, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Qiao Diyi was so happy that he hurriedly turned his horse's head to meet him.
For more than half a month, as long as he was on the road, Qiao Diyi would ride his horse next to Meng Guxue's wedding car, never leaving, and he would tan a lot before his eyes.
"Here! Here!"
He smiled at Qiao Liu, showing his big white teeth!
"Second Young Master!"
Qiao Liu was very happy to see Qiao Diyi and wanted to give him a bear hug.
After all, the second young master hangs out with them every day. We all play and joke together all day long. The second young master is everyone’s happy fruit!
Qiao Zhongguo was calm after all. He looked at the sky, then turned to Baili Chengyou who was not far away and said:
"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the next stop today. Why don't you rest on the spot tonight and make a fire to cook?"
Baili Chengyou knew this well and smiled heartily when he heard this.
"That's fine, Mr. Qiao, go on your own. I guess you can't wait to read the letters from home."
Since these days, Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou have been getting along very happily.
One of them is a reckless man, and the other is a refreshing prince. They talk about everything without any conflicts, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
However, the second prince spent most of the time sitting in the carriage and had less contact with them.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo smiled and cupped his hands at Baili Chengyou, "It made His Highness laugh."
Even as he said this, Qiao Zhongguo had already run out with his horse and his men.
Baili Chengyou looked at Qiao Zhongguo's back, feeling secretly regretful in his heart.
No wonder Shen Yuanbai wanted to deal with the Qiao family no matter what, and would not stop until the entire Qiao family was destroyed.
After all, if such a capable person had helped the prince, Shen Yuanbai might not be able to sit on the throne of Yong Kingdom so smoothly!
Just at this moment, another fast horse galloped over, shouting: "Your Highness! Your Highness, a letter from Beijing!"
