The Crown Prince nodded with a dark expression.

Prime Minister Yan pondered for a moment and sighed. “It’s only a matter of time before His Majesty finds out.”

“Someone reported just now that the Lei Family’s uncle and nephew are not dead. They have the secret of our Yan Family and are being secretly escorted into the capital.”

The Crown Prince said disdainfully, “We have plenty of ways to refute without concrete evidence.”

Prime Minister Yan reported a string of names. “These people will be brought to the Emperor in three days.”

“The words of one person can still be covered up. How can you stop everyone?” “Han Qing, Lu Chen, the Shen Family, the Gu Family… These people have been watching us for many years. How can they let go of this opportunity?”

The Crown Prince’s expression was ugly. Everyone pushed him when he was down. “What a group of dogs who kick us when we’re down!”

Prime Minister Yan shook his head. “They are not the ones who really want our Yan Family to fall.”

The Crown Prince thought of something and said hesitantly, “Grandfather means…”

Prime Minister Yan said in a low voice, “I didn’t want to do this, but the arrow is already on the bow.”

“Crown Prince, it’s time to make a choice.”

“Do you want the throne?”

While the two of them were conversing in private, Noble Consort Ji had already been placed on her own bed by the Emperor.

She did not know what to say to the Emperor at this time, so she closed her eyes and pretended to faint.

The Emperor was confused by his concern at first, but he had already discovered something along the way. He didn’t expose her, but when he put Noble Consort Ji down, he touched her stomach intentionally or unintentionally.

Noble Consort Ji:…

She was very angry!

However, she was dizzy now, so it was not convenient for her to get up and flare up. She could only close her eyes and sulk.

The Emperor looked at her feigned sleep and his gaze swept across the pillow on the couch and the sachet at Noble Consort Ji’s waist.

He couldn’t help but laugh. So it was just a knockout drop.

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

“Noble Consort?”

The nanny went forward to pour hot water for her to wipe her face. “His Majesty is still waiting.”

“This is a note from His Highness.”

Noble Consort Ji perked up. She felt surprised the moment she took a look.

How did Yan’er know that the Empress drugged the Emperor?

Recalling the palace maid who spoke to the Emperor not long ago, Noble Consort Ji frowned again.

How much did the palace maid hear?

Could it be that even Yan’er’s background…

Just as she was worried, she saw the note Rong Yan gave her at the end: “The palace maid is trustworthy. Mother, don’t worry.”

Noble Consort Ji heaved a sigh of relief and burned the small note on the palace lamp.

“Let’s go see His Majesty.”

The Emperor was interrogating the palace maid. “Tell me, what did you hear?”

The palace maid lay on the ground trembling. “I-I don’t dare to say…”

The Emperor’s face was cold. “What can you not dare to say in front of me? I’ll pardon you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid summarized eloquently, “I heard the Empress say that she knows that Noble Consort is pregnant, but that child definitely can’t be Your Majesty’s. Your Majesty don’t have the ability because she drugged Your Majesty.”

The atmosphere was awkward.

The palace maid changed her tone and continued, “Then, the Empress used this to threaten the Noble Consort. She wanted the Noble Consort to go to His Majesty and admit that she was the one who did everything. Otherwise, she would report her.”

“Later on, Noble Consort said that she was not pregnant and could not bear this crime. The Empress was unhappy, so she scolded and said that she wanted to kill the Noble Consort.”

“The Empress also said that she would tell the others that the Noble Consort coveted the Empress’s position and wanted to harm her. She accidentally killed the Noble Consort out of self-preservation. No one will suspect anything.” The emperor, who had experienced many storms, fell into a long silence. Even the professional Eunuch De, who was pretending to be stupid, was a little stiff. Ah, in that case, it seemed like no child had indeed not been born in the palace for many years.

Knowing such a big secret about His Majesty, could it be that he could not see the sun tomorrow?

That shouldn’t be the case. His Majesty was a wise ruler. He wouldn’t kill someone to silence them.

The Emperor, who had adjusted his emotions, cleared his throat. “Palace maid, don’t you pause when you talk?”

“Do you know what you just said?”

“This concerns me and the Empress. Do you know the consequences if anything is fake?”

The palace maid kowtowed with an unchanging smile on her face. “I don’t dare.”

The Emperor asked Gongsun Zhongjing very calmly, “Is there a way to wake the Empress up earlier?”

Noble Consort Ji’s nails dug into her palms as many terrifying thoughts flashed through her mind.

What puzzled her the most was when and where the medicine was exchanged. Gongsun Zhongjing said, “Sure.”

It was at this moment that the Crown Prince requested an audience and entered with Noble Consort Ji, who was waiting outside the palace door.

The Emperor was a little tired.

“I will give your mother a chance to defend herself.”

The Crown Prince knelt down in the hall. “Father, can your relationship with Mother not compare to the nonsense of a servant?”

The Emperor rubbed his temples. “Whether she’s talking nonsense or not, you’ll know when your mother wakes up and asks.”

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth. “Father, are you really unwilling to believe Mother? Or the Yan Family?”

“Why didn’t you turn a blind eye to Noble Consort Ji drugging Mother and trying to kill her? Back then, when the Third Prince hid the dragon robe and was suspected of colluding with the envoy Xiongnu, you could turn a big matter into a small one. But now, you treat us with a different attitude?”

The Emperor looked at him solemnly. “Crown Prince, is this the same thing?” “It’s not a matter of whether I believe it or not. Everything has to be based on evidence. If you’re really innocent, why are you afraid of being investigated?” Moreover, don’t you know what’s going on if others don’t say anything about the dragon robe? I’m not an old fool.

Unfortunately, the Crown Prince could no longer listen to these words.

“Father, I’ll ask again. Are you really unwilling to believe us?”

Everyone, including the Emperor, felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The Emperor’s eyes darkened. “What are you going to do?”

The Crown Prince stood up with a gloomy expression. “Father, you forced me.”

Dozens of Royal Guards filed in and stood behind the Crown Prince with weapons in their hands.

The Emperor rebuked angrily, “Are you trying to rebel?”

However, the Crown Prince laughed. “Father, you’re wrong. Noble Consort Ji had ill intentions and poisoned Father and Mother. She was still stubborn and unrepentant after being discovered. In order to save his mother, Third Brother tried to usurp the throne. I came late and couldn’t save Father’s life in time, so I could only kill the thief.”

The Emperor recalled the past that he did not want to remember the most in his life, and his gaze turned cold.

“Crown Prince, you have to think carefully. If you take this step, you will be a traitor to the officials.”

Before the Crown Prince could speak, another person strode over from outside the hall. “Your Majesty, you’re wrong.”

“History has always been written by the victor.”

“Your Majesty, a wise man submits to circumstances. I hope you can cooperate and write the succession decree.”

“Anyway, the jade seal has been found, right?”

The Emperor glanced at the shiny swords in the hall. “What if I say no?”

Prime Minister Yan smiled. “It’s fine.”

He took out a piece of bright yellow paper. “I have always been willing to do it for you.”

“It’s just like how I killed Emperor Wen for you back then, allowing you to replace him and stay on the throne for more than 10 years..”
