Emperor Yong frowned when he heard this, "Isn't today the eldest son of the Qiao family getting married? Why did Qiao Zhongguo come to the palace?"

When the queen heard this, her heart twitched.

However, she did not show any concern, and just said lightly: "Your Majesty, is there something urgent in the Qiao family?"

Emperor Yong couldn't sit still after hearing this, so he got up and left.

The Queen saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong just turned around and walked out of the palace door, and the queen straightened up with a cold expression.

Sure enough, after treating men as insignificant things, life becomes much easier.

Let's stop worrying about Zhan'er's wedding. There are a lot of things that need to be carefully prepared...

————

When Emperor Yong arrived at the imperial study, he saw the prince and Qiao Zhongguo standing at the door, followed by a group of people, one of whom was still wearing a cloak.

Emperor Yong opened his mouth and asked: "Zhan'er, what's going on? Qiao Aiqing, isn't your family very happy today? What are you doing here in the palace?"

The prince hurriedly bowed and replied: "Back to my father, there were some mistakes at the Qiao Mansion wedding banquet, and I would like to ask my father to make a decision."

Emperor Yong glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Come in and talk."

Huang Pei hurried forward to open the door of the imperial study and welcomed Emperor Yong in.

The prince walked in front, and Qiao Zhongguo walked behind, protecting the eldest princess. As soon as the three of them entered the imperial study, the palace door was closed.

Emperor Yong sat down and looked at the man wearing the cloak. Before he could speak, the eldest princess took off the cloak.

She had already tidied herself up in the carriage and looked quite dignified at this time.

Xu had already thought of a countermeasure on the way, and the eldest princess looked much calmer at this time.

Emperor Yong was a little surprised, "Xian'er? What's going on?"

The prince bowed and told everything about what he had just seen in Qiao Mansion.

When he learned that the eldest princess had lost all her appearance outside, Emperor Yong looked gloomy and was very unhappy.

The eldest princess hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Father, Xian'er has lost the dignity of the royal family and is willing to be punished, but please ask father to make the decision for Xian'er and find out the culprit!"

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this.

Hey, the eldest princess is trying to play the trick of calling the thief to catch the thief?

He immediately took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I second my opinion!"

"The eldest princess had an accident at the minister's house, and I cannot escape the blame for my death. More importantly, Tan Xiuzhan almost collided with the eldest princess!"

"I don't know why there was such a big mistake in the house, and the eldest princess mistakenly walked to the front yard where the male guests are changing."

Qiao Zhongguo's face was heavy, and he was full of heartache when talking about this matter.

"Tan Xiuzhan?"

Emperor Yong quickly caught the key words.

After all, this is the most useful new minister in recent times, and he is extremely satisfied with it in every aspect.

The eldest princess looked a little panicked when she heard this, but quickly calmed down.

Emperor Yong tilted his head and asked, "Where is Tan Xiuzhuan?"

Just at this moment, Huang Pei outside the hall called out softly: "Your Majesty, Tan Xiuzhuan is here to see you."

"Xuan!" Emperor Yong raised his voice.

Tan Hanchi walked in. As soon as the door of the palace was closed, Tan Hanchi knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Your Majesty, I don't want to treat you as a princess, so I ask your Majesty to fulfill your wishes!"

These words were so straightforward that Emperor Yong's face suddenly darkened, the eldest princess clenched her hands, but Qiao Zhongguo's eyes lit up.

This boy Tan's brain is very useful. Since someone is taking the lead, he is happy to rest.

"Tan Aiqing, when did I say that I would give you Princess Shang?"

Emperor Yong's eyebrows were deep and he looked at Tan Hanchi with an inquiring gaze.

Tan Hanchi raised his head "somewhat astonished" when he heard this, glanced at the eldest princess on the side, then immediately lowered his head and said quickly:

"Back to Your Majesty, there is a wedding banquet in Qiao Mansion today. On my way back from the dressing room, I was blocked by the eldest princess."

"The eldest princess never had any maids by her side. She even drank the Qiao family's servants away, and then...then..."

"Then what?" Emperor Yong asked with a frown.

Tan Hanchi was slightly shaken, and then he spoke in "fear": "I know that meeting in private is not a proper etiquette, but the eldest princess tried to persuade me to stay, and even...even grabbed me by the hem of my clothes!"

"Your Majesty, I was extremely frightened and was about to retreat due to disrespect. However, a fragrant and sweet fragrance emanated from the princess, causing people to become confused!"

"Just when I was about to lose my mind, I happened to meet Mr. Qiao who was returning from changing clothes, and dragged me away in time!"

"Your Majesty, I have never offended the princess, and I have no intention of insulting the princess. It's just that the eldest princess...the eldest princess is so bold, I thought I had the instruction of the emperor."

"For more than ten years, I have traveled thousands of miles, traveled thousands of miles, and endured many hardships in the imperial examinations. Only then did I come to the Holy Master's side."

"I wholeheartedly want to repay the Holy Majesty and be loyal to the imperial court. I hope that the Holy Majesty will show mercy on me and be willing to repay the favor. Don't let me surrender to the princess!"

Having said this, Tan Hanchi touched his forehead to the ground and bowed deeply.

Emperor Yong's expression changed after hearing this, because what Tan Hanchi said and what Qiao Zhongguo just said were consistent!

"Xian'er, what's going on?"

Emperor Yong looked unclear and looked at the eldest princess on the ground.

The eldest princess was still kneeling. When she saw this, she immediately said in a loud voice: "Father, the reason why Xian'er took the risk to find Tan Xiuzuan is understandable!"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. The eldest princess was really smart. She knew that the sophistry was untenable, so she openly admitted that she had gone to find Tan Hanchi.

He wanted to see how the eldest princess would name a flower!

The eldest princess looked miserable, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Father, you also know that I went to look for my second brother once in July, but you didn't see that my second brother has lost a lot of weight and his overall energy is not good."

"Xian'er felt extra pity for his second brother when he saw his biological mother was gone when he was a child. Now that he has entered the clan's house and been trained like this, Xian'er feels really sad in his heart!"

"But the second brother really made a mistake and made his father angry, so Xian'er didn't dare to go to his father to plead for mercy, nor did she dare to ask his father's current attitude."

"Xian'er just thought that Tan Xiuzuan is now a popular person in front of his father. He might know a little bit about his father's thoughts, so he tried his best to meet Tan Xiuzuan."

"Father, Xian'er was too impatient and lost his sense of control, and Tan Xiuzuan actually misunderstood Xian'er's meaning!"

"As for the scent that Tan Xiuzhuan mentioned, I'm afraid it was the thief who set off on Xian'er in advance and wanted to make Xian'er lose face!"

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. The eldest imperial sister really followed her biological mother, Concubine Wan. It was not simple at all.

They, mother and daughter, were well aware of their father's affection for Concubine Yu and his second brother, and they had made perfect use of and guessed their father's thoughts over the years.

Empress Wan Fei even used this to stand firm in the harem, attracting her father to visit her several times every month.

Today, the imperial sister still moved out her second brother and the concubine, left herself completely alone, and even acted out a show of deep brother-sister love.

Fortunately, fortunately, Mrs. Qiao was extremely smart and sent the key witnesses in time.

This time, I want to make the eldest sister unable to argue!

The prince took a step forward and said seriously: "Father, this thief dares to plot against the emperor's sister. This shows how audacious he is."

"Fortunately, Mrs. Qiao caught the thief's accomplice in the back house. She is waiting outside the imperial study and asked my father to bring someone for interrogation."

The eldest princess trembled slightly when she heard this.

She knew that this person must be Cai Lanxun to plot against Zuo Anning, but she didn't expect that he would be caught for being so useless!

According to her understanding of Cailan, Cailan should be able to disguise himself when he went to bribe people. She just hoped that the person would not recognize Cailan at all.

Worst case scenario, if Cai Lan is identified...

Thinking of this, the eldest princess' heart strings trembled.

With how loyal Cai Lan is to her, she should be able to take all the blame...

Emperor Yong was furious. He didn't expect that there would be people in the Yong Dynasty who despised the Tian family so much.

The thief dared to harm the eldest princess, but he didn't take him as the emperor seriously!

"Bring it in!"

The door of the royal study room was opened, Huang Pei led the way, and two young father-in-laws came in behind them dragging a little girl.

The reason for dragging was that the little girl was trembling with fear, her face was pale, and her legs were so weak that she could no longer stand.

As soon as the two little father-in-laws let go of their hands, the little girl threw herself to the ground.

"Keep your head up."

Emperor Yong's cold voice sounded.

The little girl had long forgotten to react, she just buried her head and whimpered.

Huang Pei saw Emperor Yong frowning impatiently, so he stepped forward and grabbed the little girl's hair, forcing her to raise her head.

As soon as the little girl raised her eyes, she met a majestic face amidst all the splendor.

She let out a cry and burst into tears from fear. It took a lot of patience to prevent her pants from getting wet.

You must know that the storybooks and the storytellers in the teahouses have said that if you violate the rules in front of the palace, you will offend the emperor and you will be beheaded!

She doesn't want to die yet!

Emperor Yong was eager to know who was behind the scenes, so he said coldly: "Tell me who instigated you, and I will spare your life!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Pei leaned down and said to the little girl's ear:

"The Holy One is giving you a chance to live now. If you don't want to die, then take it seriously."

The little girl shed tears and nodded repeatedly when she heard this.

Upon seeing this, Huang Pei pulled off the cloth bag from the little girl's mouth. She coughed twice and shouted repeatedly:

"Long live, long live, long live! Long live, long live, long live!"

When Huang Pei saw it, he kicked her lightly, "Speak quickly, don't let the Lord wait in a hurry!"

"What's your name and who ordered you? Come quickly."

In order to survive, the little girl could only hold on to this life-saving straw no matter how scared she was.

She said with a trembling cry: "I... no, Cao Min, Cao Min Liu Lian'er, the person who instructs Cao Min is outside the palace!"

Hearing this, the eldest princess's hand hidden under her sleeves shook suddenly.

She recognized Cai Lan!

The prince and Qiao Zhongguo showed shock at the right time.

Emperor Yong's brows furrowed sharply, "Just outside the palace? Call them all in and ask her to identify him!"

The four maids beside the eldest princess all walked in tremblingly. Liu Lianer looked around and then settled on Cai Lan.

"That's her!"

Liu Lian'er raised her voice.

"Just now, Cao Min was not sure, but now that she has taken a closer look, she is right. There is an inconspicuous mole at the end of her right eyebrow!"

Huang Pei walked to Cai Lan on his own without the need for Emperor Yong's order.

Cailan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her face turned red, her whole body was shaking, and the palms of her hands were soaked with sweat.

Huang Pei took a closer look and saw a small mole!

He turned around and nodded to Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong's face suddenly darkened, and before he could speak, Cailan fell to his knees with a plop.

"Your Majesty, this slave is unjustly accused! This bitch has such a bloody mouth! She must have just seen the mole on the end of my eyebrow, and she is just talking nonsense in order to survive!"

"Your Majesty, this servant is loyal to the princess, how could he frame the princess!"

Cai Lan's voice was mournful and she spoke quickly.

Liu Lian'er saw a glimmer of hope at this moment, so she naturally used all her strength to bite Cai Lan to death.

"I didn't lie! I still have evidence!"

Liu Lian'er said, reaching into the lapel of her clothes and taking out a ball of handkerchief!

"Your Majesty! There is also a handkerchief wrapped in this veil, which is the aphrodisiac she gave to the grassroots. She told the grassroots to use it on Miss Zuo of Duke Yan's mansion!"

"The Duke of Yanguo?"

Emperor Yong suddenly raised his voice, wondering why the Duke of Yan was involved in this matter.

Huang Pei hurried forward to take the veil, and Liu Lian'er quickly said: "Sir, be careful! The medicine in this veil is very strong. If you inhale even a little bit, you will lose your consciousness."

"This is what she told the grassroots!"

Liu Lian'er stared at Cai Lan and said fiercely.

Upon seeing this, Huang Pei held the handkerchief in his hand and looked at Emperor Yong with a questioning expression.

Emperor Yong said coldly: "Mr. Xuan, take a good look!"

Huang Pei hurriedly held the handkerchief and went out. In less than half a quarter of an hour, Huang Pei hurriedly returned.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Zou has tested it, and it is indeed a bad medicine! Moreover, this medicine is extremely powerful, the ingredients are expensive, and the quality is excellent!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong looked down at Cailan and said angrily:

"The witnesses and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say!"

Cailan trembled all over and fell to the ground in fear. She wanted to make excuses, but she didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, the princess closed her eyes in despair. The next moment she sat up straight and said in a trembling voice:

"It's you! Cailan, it's you! How could you treat me like this! I usually treat you well!"

Cailan turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw tears in the eldest princess's eyes, looking at her intently, and her heart trembled.

Yes, the princess treated her well. She was raised from a little maid to a personal maid, and she was given infinite honor.

She had already made the decision to die in Qiao Mansion just now, so how could she be afraid now?

Thinking of this, she suddenly distorted her face and said sharply: "Your Highness, this slave is filled with hatred! Why was this slave born a humble slave, but you are so high and noble!"

"You said you treat your slave well? Oh, that's just a meager charity from His Highness! For a small reward, this slave must be grateful and humble!"

"I'm not willing to give in! I just want to see how noble you can be, Princess, after you have lost your virginity, lost your manners, and your life has been ruined!"

"He's just like a slave, reduced to the meanest of human beings!"

Cai Lan shouted with red eyes. When she saw the princess's eyes widening in disbelief, her heart was full of guilt, and even her heart was cut.

In order to save the princess, she could only slander her like this, hoping that the princess would not blame her.

"Okay! What a naughty and evil slave!"

Emperor Yong was furious. He resented the betrayal of others the most, especially those around him!

As Xian'er's personal maid, this evil slave actually has such evil thoughts!

Upon hearing this, the prince immediately agreed: "Such a wolf-hearted person is simply outrageous!"

"However, since this matter was all planned by you, I would like to ask you, how did you, a little palace maid, obtain such expensive filthy medicine?"

Cailan looked panicked when he heard this, but quickly regained his composure.

"Your Highness, as the princess's personal maid, I am responsible for taking care of the princess's daily life. Stealing the jewelry in the dowry is as natural as picking out the items."

"After you have the money, you can entrust the palace to buy it with a lot of money. This is not difficult."

The prince chuckled lightly when he heard this, then his face darkened in an instant, and he said coldly: "What a cunning slave, he's still lying!"

"Can you tell me the name of the person who purchased it for you?"

"And the things purchased outside the palace will be strictly inspected before being distributed to each palace."

"How many connections can you get through with just a palace maid? This filthy drug is a first-class forbidden substance. Do you think it can be brought into the palace so easily!"

The prince looked majestic and spoke loudly. Cailan was immediately asked who was the prince's opponent and was left speechless.

The prince saw this and shouted: "Tell me! Who is instigating you behind the scenes! My father is here today, and you have made nonsense several times. Do you want to kill the nine tribes!"

Cai Lan's face instantly turned pale when he heard this.

It doesn't matter if she dies. She still has her parents and young children at home, so we can't harm them!

The eldest princess was really panicked. She didn't expect that the prince was so keen and serious. Cailan was afraid that she couldn't resist.

At this time, the prince finally threw out his last trump card.

He bowed to Emperor Yong and said in a deep voice: "Father, some time ago, the Nanli National Line Report was submitted, and it mentioned a secret medicine. I wonder if Father still remembers it?"

The Yong Dynasty placed many spies in both the Nanli Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom. Of course, there must also be people in the Yong Dynasty in the Nanli Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom.

The intelligence report was submitted once a month. As usual, the emperor read it first, and the prince read it again. The prince read it carefully every time.

He did not let Emperor Yong think about it, and said directly: "The report details that a secret medicine is popular among the royal family and dignitaries of Nanli Kingdom, which summons 'Bliss', and is divided into Zhaoqing Pill and Aphrodisiac Powder."

"At that time, my father specifically told his son that everyone in the Nanli Kingdom is obsessed with pleasure and will one day play with fire and burn themselves."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yong was immediately impressed.

Seeing a look of understanding on Emperor Yong's face, the prince continued: "The strangeness on the emperor's sister today is very much like taking the love pill in the secret medicine, which will cause the people around her to become confused."

"And the medicine used to frame Miss Zuo of Duke Yan's mansion is like an aphrodisiac among them. The medicine has strong properties. If the medicine is inhaled, you will be affected."

The eldest princess never expected that the prince even knew the secret medicine of bliss in Nanli Kingdom, and he understood it so thoroughly!

So, the emperor knew that she had taken the love pill when he was in Qiao Mansion?

Thinking further, the reason why the emperor is so persistent in bringing her to his father is because he has known for a long time that she directed and acted in this scene. Is this a grave dug for her?

With her thoughts at this point, the eldest princess looked at the gentle and handsome prince, and suddenly felt cold all over her body!

Ever since he was little, the emperor's brother has always been gentle and humble. Except for his preference for Xiaosi, he treats all their other brothers and sisters equally.

Perhaps he had been docile and obedient for so long that even she, the imperial sister, felt that the imperial brother was not as smart and outstanding as his second brother. He was like an obedient chess piece beside his father who would eventually be replaced by his second brother.

Until today, she finally realized that the royal brother was not obedient, but hid his fangs!

The first time she saw the emperor's methods was a fatal blow from him!

Emperor Yong used the prince's words to recall the intelligence report he had read that day, and at this time, a report sounded outside the door:

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zou has a message to submit."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yong glanced at the mess in the imperial study, thinking that the family scandal should not be made public, so he asked Huang Pei to go out to receive the invitation.

Dr. Zou had just been summoned to examine the dirty medicine, and he must have some clues.

Huang Pei came back after receiving the post and handed it to Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong glanced at ten lines and saw that his face was as dark as water behind him.

"Show it to the prince."

Huang Pei hurriedly handed the post to the prince.

The prince took it and lowered his eyes to see that Dr. Zou was indeed the most skilled doctor in the palace. In such a short period of time, he was able to identify many of the raw materials of the foul medicine.

However, Dr. Zou added a paragraph at the end of the post:

"Excuse me, I am incompetent. I have never seen this medicine. Many of the medicinal materials are very strange and unheard of."

As soon as this statement came out, it almost confirmed the prince's guess just now.

Because this dirty medicine comes from Nanli country, all the medicinal materials used are produced in Nanli country.

The two countries are one in the south and the other in the north. The south is more humid, hotter and rainier, so it is normal for Imperial Physician Zou to have never seen many medicinal materials.

It was exactly when Emperor Yong thought of this that his face became extremely gloomy.

How could the poisonous medicine from Nanli Country flow into the palace?

The eldest princess didn't know what was written on Dr. Zou's post. She was feeling uneasy when the prince suddenly looked at Cai Lan and said coldly:

"Now there is evidence from Dr. Zou that this medicine is indeed a filthy medicine from the Nanli Kingdom. How can you, a little palace maid, have such extraordinary abilities? You might as well recruit her!"

Cailan had no idea. She didn't dare to look at the eldest princess, and looked around in panic, even looking at the palace pillars not far away.

If she died bearing all the charges, would that be the end of it? Will the princess be able to escape?

Qiao Zhongguo didn't speak for a while, but others were not idle. His tiger eyes stared at the people present, worried about any accidents.

At this moment, seeing Cai Lan's eyes staring straight at the pillar, he knew what was going on and was ready to take action at any time.

Emperor Yong's eyebrows were gloomy, he didn't expect that such a thing would happen so late at night.

Naturally, a little palace maid can't get the dirty medicine from Nanli Kingdom.

The prince threatened Kai Lan with the nine clans, but failed to pry Kai Lan's mouth, which shows her determination to protect the people behind the scenes.

Xian'er has always been quiet and polite, who could she offend...

Emperor Yong's eyes slowly swept across the people present, and when they inadvertently fell on Tan Hanchi who was kneeling beside him, he was suddenly slightly shocked.

The function of the Qingqing Pill is to attract others to be emotional, and Xian'er went to the front yard of Qiao's house to block Tan Hanchi...

Thinking of this, a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in Emperor Yong's mind.

However, he didn't want to and couldn't believe it.

Xian'er is most like her biological mother, Concubine Wan, who is gentle, quiet, knowledgeable and courteous. She has never fought for her in the harem all these years.

Xian'er was raised by Concubine Wan, and because she was his first daughter, he loved her especially.

Xian'er has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. When she grows up, she is even more dignified and polite. She can be a role model for all her brothers and sisters.

How could such an outstanding child have such vicious thoughts and use such despicable methods?

However, he had just mentioned Xian'er's choice of consort to Concubine Wan a few days ago, and also mentioned the third prince of Nanli Kingdom. How could it be such a coincidence that Xian'er's eldest maid had Nanli Kingdom's poison in her hands?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong felt a chill in his heart.

Chapter 164 How about being Xian'er's consort?

The eldest princess seemed to notice Emperor Yong's gaze. She raised her head inadvertently, and Emperor Yong caught the panic and fear in her eyes.

By the time she tried to calm down her expression, it was already too late.

Emperor Yong looked at the eldest princess up and down several times, as if he couldn't believe that this was the eldest daughter he was once proud of.

Seeing Emperor Yong's extremely disappointed face, the eldest princess panicked and blurted out: "Father?"

Emperor Yong closed his eyes and suddenly asked lightly:

"Xian'er, what do you think of Tan Xiuzuan?"

A trace of panic flashed across the eldest princess's face, and then she endured the fear and said, "Father, Xian'er doesn't understand what you mean."

Emperor Yong suddenly stood up, looked at Tan Hanchi and said coldly: "Tan Xiuzhan, raise your head."

Tan Hanchi obediently raised his head when he heard this.

Emperor Yong curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"My Tan Aiqing is very talented, a gentleman like jade, and more importantly, young and promising, with a big heart, and is worthy of a big job."

"With such a talented person, how about being Xian'er's consort?"

Tan Xiuzhan's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood Emperor Yong's thoughts in an instant, but he did not dare to show it, and immediately knocked his head on the ground in "fear" and said quickly:

"Your Majesty, no!"

The eldest princess felt uneasy and immediately replied: "Father, such a person can stay with his father and assist him. Xian'er is very happy in her heart."

"As for Xian'er's marriage, of course -"

When Emperor Yong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly faded away, and he was livid and furious!

"You know that I need Tan Xiuzuan! In that case, what are you planning to do? Are you trying to destroy all the people around me who can be used?"

Emperor Yong suddenly roared, and with a bang, he dropped the pen holder on the case at the feet of the eldest princess.

There was a crackle, and the pen in the pen holder was thrown all over the floor.

"ah--"

The eldest princess and the four maids screamed instinctively, and the eldest princess even curled up and shivered with fear.

The prince did not expect that Emperor Yong would be so angry. When he spoke, the shock on his face was real.

"This...Father, you mean...No, this is impossible! How could the imperial sister make fun of her own reputation, and how could she make fun of our royal family's face!"

"The emperor's sister is knowledgeable and courteous. She is the most dignified and dignified. There is absolutely no way that the emperor's sister arranged this matter!"

Emperor Yong was so angry that his right hand that just dropped the pen holder was still trembling slightly.

"Impossible? Since this palace maid was willing to die for offending Xian'er just now in the Qiao Mansion, how can she be considered disloyal to Xian'er?"

"Now you are hesitating and taking the blame, aren't you just worried about pulling out Xian'er?"

"However, this loyal servant did not expect that each of these tasks was beyond the ability of a little palace maid like her!"

"It's not easy to buy that dirty medicine from Nanli Country. You won't just buy a small portion!"

"Huang Pei!"

Huang Pei immediately knelt in front.

Emperor Yong's eyebrows were gloomy and his voice was cold, "Search the palace! Take people to search the Zhaohua Palace!"

"Father!"

The eldest princess looked frightened and cried out sadly.

"Father, Xian'er didn't do it! Xian'er didn't do this!"

She already felt dizzy at this time.

She did buy not just one, but three!

After all, there may be damage on the road, and the plan may not succeed on the first try, so she is used to being prepared.

At this time, the other two copies are hidden in Zhaohua Palace. If they are found, they will be doomed!

"Father! Once the palace is searched tonight, everyone will know it. In this case, Xian'er will really have no shame in staying in the palace!"

Emperor Yong laughed angrily after hearing this.

"Are you still worried about the shame of searching the palace? Xian'er, when you did these things, did you ever think about where to put my face and the royal family's face!"

"The idea actually affected the people around me. Are you serious..."

At this point, Emperor Yong suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked sternly: "Tell me, did the second brother have any involvement in this matter, and was it his idea?"

The eldest princess was in a state of confusion, but Emperor Yong's question brought her back to some sense.

No matter what the outcome is today, her second brother will be her last resort. She can't turn him in, otherwise after today's complete defeat, there will be no chance of her turning around.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess shook her head hastily, "No, the second brother has nothing to do with this matter!"

As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, Emperor Yong suddenly propped himself up on the long case in front of him and closed his eyes for a long time in silence.

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he clicked his tongue twice in his heart. To be more powerful, it would have to be the Holy One. The eldest princess will not bring it upon herself!

The prince was still acting conscientiously. He looked at the eldest princess in disbelief and shouted: "Imperial sister, you!"

The eldest princess was startled at first, and then the color on her face slowly faded. She glanced at Emperor Yong desperately, and finally collapsed to the ground.

Just now, her father asked her if this matter had anything to do with her second brother.

If she was innocent, she should have replied: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with me. This was not done by me, let alone my second brother who is still banned in the clan mansion."

And in her confusion, she only denied the second half of the sentence, which was equivalent to acknowledging that she had done this...

"Okay, okay——"

"You are all really going against the grain!"

Emperor Yong swept his right hand across the case, and all the memorials folded aside fell to the ground with a clatter.

His whole body swayed slightly. At this moment, his eyesight turned black, his chest palpitated, and his breathing became rapid.

"Father!"

Upon seeing this, the prince hurriedly ran forward and supported Emperor Yong!

"Father!"

The eldest princess was so horrified when she saw this scene that she knelt straight.

"Mr. Zou, please announce Dr. Zou quickly!"

The prince shouted quickly, looking extremely nervous.

Emperor Yong slowly regained his breath with the help of the prince, but waved his hand.

"No, there is no need to declare the imperial doctor."

He slowly sat down, feeling desolate and extremely angry at this moment!

He could never have imagined that the eldest daughter's usually well-behaved appearance was just an act, and that she would completely abandon the royal dignity and do such an unconscionable thing!

Emperor Yong took a long breath and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Now, there is only one thing I can't figure out."

He looked at the eldest princess, who was already in tears, and asked coldly: "Why did you want to harm Miss Zuo of Duke Yan's residence? What does this matter have to do with Duke Yan?"

Tan Hanchi was still kneeling on the ground, and his expression moved slightly when he heard these words.

Because of the relationship with the Qiao family, the Holy Father may not agree to his marriage to Miss Zuo. Why not take retreat as an advance and take a chance today!

Thinking of this, while the eldest princess was still afraid to confess, Tan Hanchi spoke loudly:

"Your Majesty, maybe... I have some clues about this matter."

"Because Miss Zuo is my sweetheart."

When Emperor Yong heard this, he looked at Tan Hanchi with surprise on his face.

"Tan Aiqing is pleased with the young lady of Duke Yan's palace?"

It was also the first time Qiao Zhongguo heard about this, and he immediately lowered his eyes and looked at Tan Hanchi in shock.

They haven't even started matching each other yet, but boy Tan has already fallen in love with An Ning?

This guy is a real thief, with a vicious eye!

That kid An Ning is really great, he actually picked him early!

Facing Emperor Yong's inquiry, Tan Hanchi nodded a little shyly.

"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. On that day, I was selected as the number one scholar by His grace. When I was riding a horse in the street, I had a startling glance at Miss Zuo upstairs."

"I have been immersed in books since I was a child, and have never considered anything else. Now that I am the youngest, I see that my colleagues around me are already married and have children, so I slowly started to think about it."

"It's just that Miss Zuo, as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo, has a noble status, but I am from a humble background. Although she is favored by the Holy Emperor, she still has no foundation in the capital, so she does not dare to reach high places. She only keeps this intention in her heart."

"Today the eldest son of the Qiao family got married. His Majesty ordered me to go and congratulate you. I saw Miss Zuo again."

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to call myself a gentleman. When I saw Miss Zuo today, I may have let out some emotions and was seen by someone with intentions, so..."

At this point, Tan Hanchi's face showed fear and guilt, as well as joy and shame at the mention of his sweetheart.

Emperor Yong saw it and turned to look at the eldest princess.

"is that so?"

The eldest princess is still dying.

She didn't want to admit her feelings in front of Emperor Yong in person.

As a result, at this moment, Huang Pei's cautious voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, this slave is back."

Emperor Yong glanced at the eldest princess who was still arrogant, the disappointment on her face was clear.

This was the last chance he gave Xian'er. As long as she admitted it honestly, he was still willing to believe that the eldest daughter who once made him proud was just a temporary obsession.

But obviously, Xian'er will never look back until she hits the wall!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong completely hardened his heart.

No one can make fun of the reputation of the royal family. Today in Qiao Mansion, if it was not Zhan'er who broke Xian'er but someone else, the royal family would have been disgraced!

"Come in!"

Emperor Yong gave a low drink.

Huang Pei heard the sound and pushed the door open, only to see a delicate small box in his hand.

The eldest princess turned to look at Huang Pei. When her eyes touched the small box, her eyes suddenly widened and even her lips trembled.

She had obviously hidden the box in the most hidden secret room. The reason why she didn't answer her father just now was because she was taking a gamble.

As long as Huang Pei can't find anything, she can refuse to admit it!

Huang Pei lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the eldest princess's expression, and shook his head secretly.

Judging from the eldest princess's unbelievable look, she probably didn't expect him to find it, right?

Among so many princes and princesses, the only one who has never looked down upon him is probably the prince.

After all, they are of the orthodox lineage and have a deep understanding of the rules and methods within the palace.

As a personal eunuch, he has been with the Holy Master since he was a child. What tricks and tactics have he not seen before?

This is just a hidden grid, and the late emperor had already mastered it when he was still alive. He could tell where there was something fishy with his eyes closed!

"Your Majesty, this servant has found this thing from Zhaohua Palace. It has been tested by Dr. Zou. It is the same thing as the foul medicine Liu Lian'er presented."

Huang Pei walked to Emperor Yong as he spoke, opened the lid, and saw two small porcelain bottles and two small wooden boxes inside, containing aphrodisiacs and rousing pills respectively.

Emperor Yong glanced away and looked away. He naturally trusted Huang Pei very much.

"Xian'er, the evidence is solid, what else do you have to say?"

Emperor Yong was cold-hearted towards the eldest princess, and now he looked extremely calm.

Seeing that the eldest princess's lips were trembling and she could not hold back a single word after opening her mouth several times, Emperor Yong said for her:

"Do you still want to quibble, saying that this is the eldest maid next to you who is hiding in the palace to frame you?"

Cailan's face turned pale. She was about to say this, but was blocked by the Holy Master.

The eldest princess knew that now that there were all the witnesses and material evidence, she would not be able to escape the crime no matter what, so she admitted her mistake with tears in her eyes:

"Father, I am wrong! I really know that I am wrong!"

Emperor Yong closed his eyes slightly, and the dizziness came over him again.

In front of his eyes, the appearance of the eldest princess as a child seemed to appear, with pink makeup and jade, and she called his father with a smile.

Xian'er is his first daughter, and even Yu Liu is very happy with her.

But now, she has grown into such a vicious, frivolous, and indifferent person!

If Xian'er was really capable and plotted against Tan Hanchi and framed Miss Zuo, Duke of Yan Kingdom without anyone noticing, he would still be able to look down upon her.

But now, to put it bluntly, she is just stupid and doesn't know it!

The eldest princess was still mourning and repenting. Seeing that Emperor Yong was deep in thought and indifferent, she could only start playing the emotional card.

"Father, Xian'er was temporarily distracted. This is not Xian'er's original intention!"

"Xian'er heard that a delegation from Nanli Kingdom was coming and was interested in getting married to me. She was really scared!"

"Father, Xian'er can't let you go, can't let go of my mother and concubine, and can't let go of the land where I was born and raised!"

"Xian'er shouldn't be too conceited and look down on the prince's consort chosen by his father, let alone Tan Xiuzhan, whom his father favors."

"It's absolutely not Xian'er's fault, but Xian'er did all this just to stay with his father and mother!"

"Xian'er doesn't dare to do it anymore. Please ask Father to spare Xian'er this time!"

Emperor Yong suddenly sneered when he heard this.

"Oh, you don't dare? You went through so much trouble to buy Nanli Country's filthy medicine, and then you used such despicable methods, didn't you just want to force me to submit?"

"You still want to get married?"

"Since ancient times, the princess has been responsible for the marriage. She must understand the righteousness and serve the country wholeheartedly. You are so selfish and willful. If I send you over for marriage, I'm afraid it will bring shame on our Yong Kingdom!"

Emperor Yong's words were really serious. The eldest princess turned pale and cried in panic:

"Father!"

Emperor Yong stopped looking at the eldest princess, glanced at everyone present, and said coldly:

"Somebody come!"

Four guards pushed open the door and entered.

Emperor Yong said with a green face: "All these slaves were executed. Liu Lian'er chopped off her right hand and threw it out of the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, the imperial study room burst into tears.

That Liu Lian'er didn't know the rules and cried the loudest.

After all, the people in the palace chopped off her hand and couldn't treat her, so they just threw it out of the palace. She was afraid that she would bleed to death halfway!

Wouldn't this still cost her her life?

Upon seeing this, the guard quickly covered her mouth and dragged her out.

The eldest princess suddenly turned her head and saw Cailan not struggling, obediently letting the guards take her away. She suddenly felt extremely unbearable in her heart, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Seeing that the palace door was about to close again, Cailan felt unbearably sad in her heart, but she still curled her lips and smiled at the eldest princess, as if to say:

The princess does not need to feel guilty, Cai Lan is willing to die for the princess...

The eldest princess's heart trembled when she saw this scene, and she couldn't help turning her head to plead with Emperor Yong.

"Father, please spare Cai Lan's life! She was just following the orders of my son, she -"

Emperor Yong snorted coldly and interrupted the eldest princess.

"Do you still have the heart to plead for a slave?"

"You have evil intentions, have no shame, and completely disregard the royal family's reputation. You even plot against me and the courtiers around me!"

"All these things combined are enough for me to deprive you of your position as princess!"

The eldest princess's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard this.

At this moment, a panicked voice sounded outside the door:

"Your Majesty, please take back your life!"

The prince's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and there was a hint of interest on his face.

Listening to this voice, it is Concubine Wan who is here...

Chapter 166 Concubine Wan is so extraordinary!

Outside the Imperial Study Room, Concubine Wan's face was pale and flustered, her usual dignified and elegant look completely gone.

She got the news earlier tonight that Emperor Yong went to the Queen's Yikun Palace.

Thinking that the Holy Father would not come over today, she washed herself early and prepared to go to bed.

Unexpectedly, after a while, there was a sudden commotion outside. The grandmother next to me went out to explore, and she was trembling all over when she came back.

She was so frightened that she sat up from the couch. Before she could ask, grandma was already crying and said:

"Mother, it's not good! Eunuch Huang led people to search Zhaohua Palace!"

When she heard this, she felt like the world was spinning!

Something happened to Xian'er!

Now that we have reached the stage of searching the palace, we are just missing one piece of conclusive evidence!

Huang Pei made such a big fuss that everyone knew about it, which shows that the Holy Emperor is not willing to show any favor to Xian'er!

What a mistake Xian'er made!

She hurriedly walked down from the couch, holding back the fear in her heart, and said loudly: "Don't panic! Quickly dress me up, I want to see the Holy Emperor!"

At this moment, she hurried to the door of the Imperial Study Room and happened to hear the Holy Sage, in a rage, saying that he would depose Xian'er as the princess, which scared her so much that she hurriedly shouted loudly.

When the eldest princess heard Concubine Wan's voice, her tears suddenly became even fiercer, and she couldn't help but screamed miserably: "Concubine!"

Emperor Yong snorted coldly, "Just in time! I want to ask Concubine Wan how she raised such a good daughter!"

Huang Pei hurriedly stepped forward and opened the palace door. Concubine Wan walked in quickly and was horrified when she saw the mess on the ground.

When her eyes touched the eldest princess who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes red and swollen from crying, Concubine Wan felt her heart was cut by a knife.

She hurriedly knelt down next to the eldest princess and asked miserably: "Your Majesty, what did Xian'er do wrong that you want to punish her like this?"

Emperor Yong's expression was cold. He usually thought that Concubine Wan was gentle, demure, and considerate, but now he felt that she was so useless that she couldn't even educate a daughter!

"What did you do wrong? Huang Pei, tell Concubine Wan now what kind of unscrupulous thing the eldest princess has done!"

Huang Pei immediately stepped forward and explained everything that happened tonight in a concise and concise manner.

Concubine Wan's face turned pale when she heard this, her whole body was trembling, and she almost fainted.

This... this silly boy!

Before she did such a thing, why didn't she discuss it with her mother-in-law in advance?

She even chose to plot against Tan Xiuzhan in the Qiao Mansion. Did she think that Qiao Zhongguo's reputation was empty?

Concubine Wan was extremely angry and resentful, but she was just such a daughter, and it hurt her to the core since she was a child.

Now, no matter how big a mistake Xian'er makes, she will protect her no matter what!

As soon as Huang Pei finished speaking, Concubine Wan's face suddenly darkened, she turned around and slapped the eldest princess hard!

Snapped!

This slap was so hard that it not only threw the eldest princess to the ground, but even her own palms became numb.

The eldest princess felt dizzy for a moment. After she recovered, she turned to look at Concubine Wan in disbelief.

"Mother concubine!"

When Concubine Wan saw the eldest princess's cheeks that instantly turned red, she felt pity in her heart, but she shouted angrily:

"Xian'er! You have disappointed your father and mother!"

"A marriage is about making a contribution to the country. If your father really chooses you, he values you and trusts you. How could you do such a despicable thing just to avoid a marriage?"

"Even if you are selfish and don't want to leave your homeland and your father, you can tell the truth! Your father has been partial to you since he was a child, how can he be willing to force you!"

"You absolutely should not, you should come up with such a vicious plan in an attempt to force your father to submit! It is a great injustice in the world for children to plot against their parents!"

"Tell me, do you regret it?"

The eldest princess finally came to her senses amidst Concubine Wan's furious rebuke, and immediately repented painfully, crying loudly.

When the prince saw this, he had to sigh: Concubine Wan is really much smarter than the imperial sister. No wonder she is the standing elder in the harem.

After all, she was her father's pillow, and Concubine Wan knew her father too well.

In fact, looking at the whole thing, what the father cares about most is not the so-called royal face, but the emperor's sister trying every possible means to plot against him!

The father cannot tolerate betrayal by those around him, just like his second brother during the Dragon Boat Festival.

He was so partial to his second brother, but he still imprisoned him in the sect's mansion precisely because the second brother used Yu Zhaoyi's hand to plot against him!

Seeing that the eldest princess had realized her mistake, Concubine Wan hurriedly looked at the nanny beside her.

Mammy understood and immediately handed something into Concubine Wan's hand.

Concubine Wan shook it off. It was an unfinished embroidery, with hundreds of Chinese characters of various shapes and sizes already painted on it.

Concubine Wan burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Xian'er is still a child after all. She suddenly became obsessed and did such a wrong thing."

"Look, this is the birthday gift that Xian'er prepared for you. She started working on it two months ago, and she has never left anyone behind."

"Your Majesty, Xian'er loves you dearly in her heart. She has always regarded you as her God! Please forgive her this time because she is still young and has gone astray!"

Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked down. The picture of longevity was laid out, which was as tall as a person. The character longevity was only half embroidered, but the stitching was fine and it could be seen that it was done with great care.

Emperor Yong raised his eyes and saw the eldest princess crying so hard that her cheeks were swollen. After a thousand thoughts in his heart, he finally felt a trace of intolerance.

When the prince saw this, he secretly sighed, Concubine Wan's methods are indeed very high.

Presumably on the way to the imperial study, even if she didn't know what mistake the imperial sister had made, Concubine Wan had already thought of these words in advance.

Seeing that Emperor Yong was a little soft-hearted, the prince took a step forward and was ready to speak.

As a result, at this moment, the father-in-law outside the door announced:

"Your Majesty, Duke Yan is asking for an audience outside the palace gate!"

As soon as these words came out, the prince, Qiao Zhongguo and Tan Hanchi who were present all breathed a sigh of relief!

Duke Yan came in time!

In the situation just now, if any of them spoke, it would be like adding insult to injury.

If Emperor Yong comes back to his senses afterwards, is their behavior not calculated?

If Yan Guo publicly spoke out, this matter would be reasonable and excusable!

After all, Miss Zuo is the most innocent victim in this scheme!

Emperor Yong knew that the eldest princess was sorry for Duke Yan, so he immediately said: "Quickly declare!"

There were some veterans in the court who had followed the late emperor in his military expeditions. Not only did they have military merits, they were also very proud in front of the late emperor.

For example, Duke Yan, and Duke Qing, who had been executed by everyone in his family.

Among these old ministers, Duke Yan Guo was the most blessed with the Sacred Heart. Back then, the late emperor even bestowed hereditary and irreplaceable honor on Duke Yan.

Later, as these veterans grew older, they did not go to court often except for important festivals and grand celebrations.

The Duke of Yan did not like these welcomes and farewells, so he took a leave of absence from the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. Even Emperor Yong may not have seen him for a long time.

When Concubine Wan heard that Duke Yan was coming, her heart suddenly tightened.

The good situation was broken just like that!

Chapter 167 The old actor is here!

Duke Yan, led by the palace servants, strode to the royal study. Looking at the red walls and green tiles in front of him, Duke Yan held a breath in his heart!

At the banquet just now, the prince, Qiao Zhongguo, and Tan Hanchi left the banquet one after another. He guessed that something had happened, but he never expected that even An Ning would be involved.

Later, Jing'er sent someone to look for him, and he went to the backyard to meet him. Hearing that he had just been shocked, his heart suddenly burned with anger!

An Ning stood aside to cheer him up, saying over and over again that she was fine.

fine?

How could it be okay!

The eldest princess almost ruined Ning'er and Tianjing's wedding!

At this time, Jing'er said again that the prince and Zhongguo brought the eldest princess into the palace to meet the saint. However, the eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the saint after all, and the saint may not be able to punish the eldest princess ruthlessly.

He heard what Xian meant and immediately came straight to the palace!

The eldest princess wants to escape unscathed?

impossible!

He was just throwing a tantrum and risking his life to seek justice for An Ning in front of the Holy One!

Mrs. Qiao looked at her father's angry back and secretly prayed that everything would go well.

As for why she thought of letting her father enter the palace, it was naturally thanks to Jiaojiao's reminder.

Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Nanny Liu's arms, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Duke Yan rush to the palace.

[The eldest princess and Concubine Wan can have the last laugh with the second prince, they are definitely not fuel-efficient! 】

[Although father and the prince followed, they had to stay out of this matter, so they were inevitably tied up. 】

[The victims still have the most say in this matter, such as Tan Hanchi and cousin An Ning. 】

[My grandfather is smart. The last time my aunt and Li Xusheng were involved, my grandfather handled it perfectly. 】

[If anyone can step on the eldest princess hard at this critical moment, it must be the grandfather who loves his grandchildren very much! 】

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao felt excited.

[Grandpa, come on! Grandpa is mighty! Waiting for the good news about grandpa! 】

————

Outside the Imperial Study Room, Duke Yan took a deep breath.

Just before the palace door opened, he suddenly pinched his thigh hard, causing tears to burst out of his eyes in an instant.

As soon as the palace door opened, Duke Yan rushed in and shouted:

"Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me, Your Majesty!"

Qiao Zhongguo looked at his father-in-law striding in, kneeling down, saluting, crying, and shouting injustice. His voice was smooth and his voice was ear-splitting!

The hands under Qiao Zhongguo's sleeves trembled, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Sure enough, when it comes to acting and acting, compared with his father-in-law, he still has to be inferior.

Prince: "..."

After so many years, Duke Yan is still so... impressive.

Tan Hanchi: "..."

The old actor is here, you can't afford to offend him...

Emperor Yong's right eyelid twitched, and he immediately said: "Zuo Aiqing doesn't need to pay such a big courtesy, Huang Pei, watch your seat!"

Duke Yan shook his head with tears in his eyes, "No, I won't sit down! Your Majesty, if you don't make the decision for me, I won't be able to kneel here forever!"

Emperor Yong's face darkened when he heard this, "Zuo Aiqing, when did I say that I won't let Aiqing make the decision? Get up quickly."

Duke Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Yong's face. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost exhilarating, he quickly stood up and said sadly:

"Your Majesty, something shocking happened in the Qiao Mansion today! Someone actually intended to murder my granddaughter, and the method used... was extremely despicable!"

"I can't bear to swallow this! Who has such sinister intentions? This is going to cost my life!"

"Please, Your Majesty, arrest the thief for me, cut him into pieces, and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives! Otherwise, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

When the eldest princess heard this, she immediately trembled all over.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly stepped forward, leaned down and whispered a few words in Duke Yan's ear.

"What!"

Duke Yan suddenly exclaimed and looked at the eldest princess on the ground in disbelief.

In fact, he had already learned from Mrs. Qiao that the princess was closely related to An Ning's danger tonight.

But at this moment, his eyes were wide open and his face was full of shock, and he couldn't see any flaws.

"Princess! You...you, you, you..."

Duke Yan said "you" several times, then rolled his eyes, and it seemed that he had "passed away"!

Qiao Zhongguo's "face changed greatly", and he hurriedly supported Duke Yan, holding him down, and shouted: "Master Yue-in-law! Master Yue-in-law!"

Yan Guozheng was pretending to be dizzy and could only close his eyes and let Qiao Zhongguo manipulate him.

In fact, he was already crying out in pain: "Zhongguo! Do you have any resentment against me in your heart? This person has been picked on, and it hurts me to death!"

Qiao Zhongguo looked "eager" and his eyes were full of innocence.

"My father-in-law, please bear with me! If you do all the drama, my son-in-law will be offended!"

Duke Yan: "..."

When I stopped Jing'er from being with him, this kid must have held a grudge!

This is definitely a public revenge!

Emperor Yong was shocked when he saw Duke Yan passing by.

If Duke Yan was angered to death on the spot, he would no longer be able to hide this matter. As an emperor, he might be drowned in the spit of the world because of this!

"Zou Qi! Quickly declare Zou Qi!"

Qiao Zhongguo's men exerted another force, and Duke Yan was agitated and finally slowly opened his eyes.

Qiao Zhongguo's face lit up when he saw this, "Master-in-law! You finally woke up!"

Duke Yan: "..."

Can't you wake up?

If Dr. Zou comes, he will reveal his secret!

Duke Yan nodded "weakly". Before Emperor Yong could breathe a sigh of relief, he knelt on the ground again and said with tears:

"Holy Lord, how could the eldest princess...how could she do such an unconscionable thing!"

"The veteran has been with the late emperor since he was young. Over the years, he has been fighting in the east and west, and he has neglected the eldest son in the family, making him a coward and hopeless."

"I have never had any complaints in my heart, because I know that in the past ten years, although I have sacrificed my small family, I have fulfilled thousands of families in the Great Yong Dynasty!"

"I no longer have any hope for my eldest son, but I only have a granddaughter at my knees. I hurt her so much that my eyes turned to tears!"

"An Ning is my support for the rest of my life. I have spent all my efforts to train her. How could the eldest princess come up with such a sinister strategy? Isn't this costing my life?"

When Duke Yan said this, he was so moved that his tears really rolled down his face.

"Thanks to my daughter being careful and careful, and treating An Ning as if she were my own, I discovered her strangeness in time and saved An Ning's life. Otherwise, I may not have been able to support myself and come before the Holy Master today!"

"Your Majesty, I know that all parents in the world love their children. Your Majesty will definitely be reluctant to punish the eldest princess. Moreover, Your Majesty's diligence and love for the people are a blessing to everyone in the world. I will not be willing to persecute Your Majesty."

"Therefore, I would like to ask for grace from the Holy One and ask the Holy One to allow me to resign as Duke of Yan State and move my family to Yanzhou to spend the rest of my life!"

After Duke Yan finished speaking, he touched his forehead heavily to the ground and did not get up for a long time.

Chapter 168 The price of angering the emperor

Latest website: www.irrxs.com

After hearing these heartfelt words, Emperor Yong looked at the figure of Duke Yan kneeling on the ground and his white hair, with a very moved expression on his face.

Before the death of the late emperor, he, as the crown prince, stood by his bed.

The late emperor specially called Duke Yan in, held Duke Yan's hand and recalled the past with a smile on his face.

When he was dying, the late emperor called him forward again, gave him many instructions intermittently, and finally looked at Duke Yan and said:

"Sheng'er, those veterans who followed me in the east and west campaigns are the heroes of the Yong Dynasty. Don't...don't let their hearts be chilled. Remember to be a good king who is diligent and loves the people... ...."

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong stood up quickly, walked around the jade case in front of him, and personally helped Duke Yan up.

"Zuo Aiqing, why is this happening! Get up quickly, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Hearing this, Duke Yan raised his head with a "shocked" look on his face. Seeing the serious look on Emperor Yong's face, his eyes became redder and redder.

"Your Majesty, I... I don't want to embarrass Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong looked gentle and said, "If I keep kneeling, you will really embarrass me."

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo stepped forward at the right time and smoothed things over.

"Master-in-law, Your Majesty always does what you say. Please get up quickly. Don't make things difficult for Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Duke Yan relied on the strength of Qiao Zhongguo's hand to stand up with "difficulty".

Seeing Emperor Yong looking at his trembling legs, Duke Yan smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, I am old. I have a lot of old ailments left on the battlefield. Now I am even more useless. I am making you laugh, Your Majesty."

When Emperor Yong heard this, he felt that the smile on Duke Yan's face was particularly sad, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart.

When Concubine Wan saw this, she knew that something was completely wrong.

Duke Yan's commotion simply pushed Xian'er to a dead end!

Sure enough, seeing Duke Yan sitting down beside him, Emperor Yong immediately looked at the eldest princess, his expression extremely cold.

"The eldest princess has sinister intentions. She plotted against the courtiers, framed the courtiers, and ignored the royal family. Her intentions are worthy of death. I--"

"Your Majesty!"

Concubine Wan suddenly screamed sadly, interrupting Emperor Yong's words.

"Holy Lord, no matter what you are going to say next, please think twice! Do you remember what this is!"

As Concubine Wan spoke, she took out something from her sleeve and placed it in her palm.

Qiao Zhongguo looked up and saw a piece of smooth jade inlaid with gold.

He squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and vaguely saw four characters engraved on the beautiful jade.

When Emperor Yong saw this thing, his expression changed drastically!

Concubine Wan shed tears and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, she loved Xian'er so much in the past and treated Xian'er as her own daughter. She even gave Xian'er the longevity lock she had worn since she was a child."

"Have you forgotten? When she put this longevity lock on Xian'er, she said that she hoped that Xian'er would be healthy and happy forever."

"Your Majesty, just for her sake, please spare Xian'er this time. Xian'er really won't dare to do it again!"

There were tears on Concubine Wan's face, but she was so nervous inside that her heartstrings were trembling.

This is her last trump card!

The Holy Emperor has been going to her Jinhua Palace from time to time for so many years, isn't it just to miss Yu Liu with her?

At that time, she saw the emperor's obsession with Yu Liu, so she took the initiative to approach Yu Liu and showed her favor to Yu Liu, and then she got to where she is today step by step!

However, she never dared to do anything with Yu Liu's affection, because she knew in her heart that affection would only be used less and less, so it must be used on the edge!

Today, in order to protect Xian'er, she can only do this!

Emperor Yong looked at this unique lock of longevity with ups and downs in his heart and his expression changed several times.

Concubine Wan saw a glimmer of hope and immediately held on tightly without letting go.

"Your Majesty, Xian'er made a mistake and deserves to be punished. However, can you give her a chance to change her ways? This child has a good heart!"

Hearing this, the eldest princess hurriedly kowtowed to the side, "Father, I know I was wrong. Please spare me this time!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Yan and others looked at Emperor Yong at the same time, and no one interrupted him.

Obviously, smart people all know that Empress Yu Liu is the absolute inverse of Emperor Yong.

If you use this trick well, you can change your life against the will of heaven. If you use it wrongly, you will die faster!

Emperor Yong's breathing was slightly rapid, and after a while he said in a rough voice: "You also know that she was very happy with Xian'er back then..."

"Concubine Wan, if you remember the first half of what she said, do you also remember the second half of what she said?"

"May Xian'er be kind to others, and may her heart be as pure as a chrysanthemum or an orchid."

"Look, how lawless she has become now! She is plotting against me and the people around me!"

At the last sentence, Emperor Yong almost roared!

Concubine Wan trembled suddenly, and suddenly felt the coldness of the floor tiles rushing up from under her body. Even the joints of her bones were cold at this moment.

Her face was pale and her heart was so desperate that she could hardly hold on to the small longevity lock in her palm.

It's over...

Even the last resort doesn't work...

Emperor Yong suppressed his dizziness and said coldly: "Since Xian'er dislikes the consort I chose for her so much and is so reluctant to leave my side, she might as well stay in the palace forever!"

"Huang Pei, clean up the side halls of the palace and temple. From today on, the princess will be a vegetarian for the rest of her life and will never marry!"

Huang Pei looked up in surprise when he heard this.

It is also illegal for the royal family for a princess to stay in the palace for a long time and never marry. How can you explain this to the world?

Emperor Yong had obviously thought about it.

"When you draft a decree for me, you say that the princess cares about all the people in the world, and she has decided to live as an ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern to pray for the people of the world. I have persuaded you several times, and the princess has made up her mind!"

When the eldest princess heard this, she felt her eyes spinning, and the next moment she leaned straight back!

Concubine Wan's heart was cut by a knife, and she hurriedly reached out to help the eldest princess, but she was so frightened that she still had no strength. Both mother and daughter fell to the ground.

The eldest princess couldn't stop crying.

How could your father be so cruel!

She spent the rest of her life worshiping Buddha and becoming a vegetarian. The rest of her life was still so long. How could she endure the loneliness and misery in it?

Moreover, the father actually wanted to announce the decree to the world, which was going to cut off her escape forever!

"Huang Pei, you have someone to guard you day and night. No one is allowed to visit the eldest princess, and the eldest princess is not allowed to interact with anyone!"

Emperor Yong was really determined to punish the eldest princess. He said it was to worship the Buddha, but it was almost like a life sentence!

This is the price of angering the emperor.

If you don't take action, it will be ruined for life!

When Concubine Wan heard this, she couldn't help crying.

It would be better to lose her status as a princess or even demote her to a commoner.

At least this way she can still try her best to make Xian'er happy and comfortable outside the palace, with no worries about food and clothing.

If you meet someone you are happy with, you may be able to spend the rest of your life together.

Now that she is locked in a palace and no one is allowed to visit her, this is simply more painful than death!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't be so cruel to Xian'er! She is still so young, how do you want her to live in the future!"

Emperor Yong looked at Concubine Wan whose face was filled with tears, and was furious in his heart.

Concubine Wan actually tried to use Yu Liu's longevity lock to control him. Isn't this just another plan?

"Concubine Wan, you have no way to teach your daughter. From today on, you will be deprived of the title of "Wan", demoted to Zhaoyi, and banned from Jinhua Palace. Without my permission, you are not allowed to take a step forward!"

Emperor Yong spoke in a cold voice. He was ruthless and refused to show any affection!

Concubine Wan had to force herself to this point. She never expected that in the end, not only could she not save Xian'er, but she would also get involved.

She was frightened and despaired of all thoughts. She tilted her body and fell on top of the eldest princess and fainted.

When Emperor Yong heard the eldest princess wailing for her mother, he felt a splitting headache and waved to Huang Pei.

"Take it down!"

Huang Pei didn't dare to delay, so he quickly called a few useful father-in-laws and dragged Lin Zhaoyi and the eldest princess out of the imperial study.

The prince stood next to Emperor Yong, looking at the eldest princess with tears streaming down her face and no appearance at all, with no sadness or joy on her face.

The second brother also plotted against his father, but his methods were more ruthless than the eldest sister who never succeeded.

However, the second brother is only going to be imprisoned in the ancestral mansion for a year, while the imperial sister is going to be imprisoned in the ancestral temple for the rest of her life.

At this moment, he realized more and more clearly the special status of his second brother in his father's heart, and he became more cautious.

Even if he, the eldest son, made such a mistake, his father would definitely depose him as the crown prince without hesitation...

Qiao Zhongguo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the eldest princess received the punishment she deserved.

This is enough, they can't ask for more.

Ordinarily, if a daughter of an official family did such a wrong thing, she would only be grounded, forced to kneel, and slapped on the board. If it was serious, she would have her hair cut and become a aunt.

It was an unexpected surprise that Emperor Yong could achieve this.

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyi must be feeling very regretful, right?

She made a wrong move. She shouldn't use Empress Yu Liu's affection to force the Holy Emperor at this time.

After all, the second prince has been consumed many times in the past year, and the emperor is currently angry. If Lin Zhaoyi waits for a few days and waits for the emperor to calm down before playing the emotional card, the result will always be better than today.

But as parents, how many of them can remain calm when they see their children's rest of their lives being ruined?

Anyway, this matter is finally settled...

Duke Yan stood up at the right time and expressed his gratitude to Emperor Yong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me! I am so grateful that I cannot express it in words!"

Tan Hanchi kowtowed and added: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision!"

When Qiao Zhongguo saw Tan Hanchi's cleverness, he secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

Is this boy Tan afraid that the Holy One will forget about him and An Ning? Seeing his father-in-law coming out of the queue, he quickly came over eagerly.

Emperor Yong caught a glimpse of the two people kneeling in front of the case, and he indeed remembered Tan Hanchi's heartfelt love for Zuo Anning.

Xian'er did such a stupid thing, the royal family really owed Miss Zuo of Duke Yan's mansion.

But Duke Yan's Mansion and Qiao's Mansion are in-laws after all, so he still has to think about this marriage...

"Zuo Aiqing, Tan Aiqing, please get up. Xian'er has also received the punishment she deserves. Let this matter pass."

"Of course, Miss Zuo and Tan Aiqing were both frightened. I will make it up to you. That will be it for today."

After Emperor Yong finished speaking, a look of exhaustion appeared on his face.

The second prince did something wrong some time ago, and today it was the eldest princess's turn to make a mistake again. Her children were disobedient, and Emperor Yong was still hurt after all.

Upon hearing this, Tan Hanchi knew that Emperor Yong had not yet made up his mind, so he immediately bowed respectfully without any strange expression on his face.

Don't be impatient. Acting too eagerly will be counterproductive.

Next, there are many opportunities...

After bidding farewell to Emperor Yong, Qiao Zhongguo and others filed out.

The prince stayed in the royal study and saw Emperor Yong looking ugly, so he couldn't help but expressed concern:

"Father, you don't look very good. It's better for Dr. Xuanzou to come in and take a look."

After hearing this, Emperor Yong turned to look at the prince. Seeing that the concern on his face did not seem to be fake, his expression suddenly became complicated.

He took a steady look at the prince and suddenly said something shocking:

"Zhan'er, today's incident in the Qiao Mansion was directed and performed by Xian'er. Have you noticed it a long time ago?"

The prince's heart skipped a beat. Faced with Emperor Yong's inquiry, he did not choose to hide it, but said seriously:

"Father, I don't dare to hide it from you. In fact, I didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until I approached the palace gate that I suddenly remembered the secret medicine of bliss in Nanli Kingdom, and I had a vague guess in my heart."

"But my father and I can't believe it. The eldest sister is usually so dignified and solemn. It's not like she would be able to do such a thing."

"So I don't dare to speak nonsense in front of my father, let alone show my doubts about the emperor's sister. Until this moment, the unreal feeling in my heart still lingers."

"Father, I feel... really sad in my heart."

The prince looked sad, and the melancholy in his heart at this moment was real.

He once truly rejoiced at the birth of every emperor's younger brother and younger sister. Now, in order to protect his mother and his mistress, and to hold on to his position as heir apparent, he could no longer stop...

Emperor Yong was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed deeply.

"It's not just you, even I can't believe it..."

The prince was filled with sorrow when Emperor Yong suddenly murmured again: "Does Qiao Zhongguo know..."

The prince's heart trembled slightly, but he pretended not to hear clearly and tilted his head in confusion, "Father, what did you just say?"

Emperor Yong didn't want the prince to answer him. He was really tired and waved his hand to the prince.

"Go down. Your mother is preparing for your wedding. If you have time, go and have a look."

The prince shook his head.

"My son, you should wait until Huang Pei comes back before leaving. Father is angry today and cannot be without people around him."

Emperor Yong finally felt a sense of comfort in his heart when he saw that the prince was so well-behaved and sensible.

He thought for a while and said warmly: "Then call Zou Qi to take a look at it for me."

When the prince heard this, his face finally showed joy, "My son, I'll call someone right now!"

The moment he turned around, the prince's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Never doubt an emperor's intentions. Even if my father is distracted by too many things, his city is still unfathomable.

At this moment, my father was already so distressed, but he still did not forget to guess Qiao Zhongguo's thoughts. Such comprehensiveness was not something ordinary people could do.

As a prince and a son, the most important thing for him in front of his father is always to be obedient and obedient, followed by various abilities.

Emperor Yong rubbed his brows tiredly, looked at the back of the prince as he strode to call the imperial physician, and then turned to look at the wall with the portrait on the right, his face full of thoughtfulness...

————

Qiao Zhongguo stayed in the palace for more than an hour. When he and Duke Yan quickly returned to the Qiao Mansion, the wedding banquet was almost over.

Qiao Zhongguo specially entered the house through a side door and then went to the front yard to see off the guests in person.

When everyone saw Qiao Zhongguo, who had been "missing" for a long time, they were curious, but no one dared to ask more questions.

Half an hour later, all the guests dispersed, and the Qiao Mansion finally returned to peace after a busy day.

In the backyard, Qiao Jiaojiao looked eagerly until she finally saw Qiao Zhongguo!

She was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids started to fight, but she refused to fall asleep, just waiting for the first-hand gossip!

Qiao Zhongguo and Duke Yan entered the door together, followed by the two righteous brothers.

After everyone sat down, Qiao Zhongguo quickly picked up Qiao Jiaojiao, secretly annoyed that he had let his baby wait for so long.

The secret guard was guarding the door. Mrs. Qiao and Zuo Anning were still sitting in the room. The family closed the door and talked about tonight's events.

Hearing that the eldest princess was imprisoned in the palace for life, Qiao Jiaojiao was so excited that she felt no longer sleepy in an instant, she was so energetic!

【Really! Really! 】

[Once the decree is issued tomorrow, the outcome of the eldest princess will be certain! After all, Emperor Yong could not slap himself in the face in front of everyone in the world! 】

[Her only chance to stand up is for the second prince to inherit the throne... Bah! I bah bah bah! Children's words are unbridled! The second prince will never have this opportunity in his life! 】

[Look, the rewards of good and evil follow each other like a shadow. This man just can't have bad intentions! 】

As soon as this statement came out, Qiao Zhongguo took it seriously.

Qiao Jiaojiao actually still had many concerns in her heart.

[Looking at the whole thing tonight, it turns out that the Qiao family did not suffer any substantial harm. The most innocent person was cousin An Ning, while the eldest princess suffered setbacks step by step until she was completely defeated. 】

[Although Emperor Yong is a lover, he is still very smart as long as Princess Yuliu is not involved. I don't know if he will notice anything strange. 】

[But even so, our Qiao family cannot sit still and wait for death in the face of calculations. 】

[The Qiao family will have to pass this test of Emperor Yong sooner or later. Before that, all we can do is to have more chips and accumulate more confidence! 】

Qiao Zhongguo nodded in approval upon hearing this.

To be timid is to give others a handle, and to do nothing is to bring about one's own destruction!

He, Qiao Zhongguo, has a clear conscience for the country, the king, and the people. What he did tonight was just to protect his little family!

"Ah~~~"

Qiao Jiaojiao relaxed her mind and couldn't help but let out a long yawn.

[Go to bed and think of something happy. If the second prince knew this news, he would be very sad, right? 】

[First Tan Hanchi, then Li Xusheng, and now the eldest princess, he will be turned into a polished commander! Hehe~~]

Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth following Qiao Jiaojiao's inner voice.

"Okay, that's it for today!"

Qiao Zhongguo looked around, and when he saw Qiao Tianjing opposite, he suddenly stared.

"Why are you still here, kid!? You made your eldest daughter-in-law wait for you for so long!"

"Quick, quick! Get back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately looked at Qiao Tianjing.

Qiao Jiaojiao even yelled:

【It's over! I was so nervous just now that I even forgot about this top priority! 】

[Brother, hurry up and enter the bridal chamber! How long have you been waiting, sister-in-law? 】

Qiao Tianjing was always thin-skinned, but when everyone looked at him like this and Qiao Jiaojiao said this, he immediately stood up with a red face.

"Go quickly!"

Qiao Zhongguo wished he could kick Qiao Tianjing back to Qingzhuyuan.

Dalang is usually a very clever person, but today he is so dumbfounded, like a fool!

I still remember that when he got married, he wished he could not even drink wine and rush back to his room to embrace his wife!

Qiao Tianjing left the main courtyard under the urging of everyone. Originally, he was still thinking about tonight's events and worried that something would be omitted.

As a result, as soon as the cool evening breeze blew, all the distracting thoughts in my mind suddenly disappeared.

"Xian'er..."

Qiao Tianjing murmured softly in a deserted place, and then, an uncontrollable joy surged up.

He couldn't help but clenched his palms, and even his steps became impatient.

After walking into the Qingzhu Courtyard, the main house was still bright, with a warm red light reflected from the screen windows. One look at it made my heart feel warm.

He heard the maid next to Xian'er whisper: "Miss, my uncle is back!"

He took a deep breath and walked into the main room. The two maids saluted him and hurriedly left.

He looked up with a blushing face and saw Hanya Xian walking towards him.

She has taken off all the hairpins on her head, and now her black hair is only tied up in a very simple bun. After cleansing her face, her skin feels smooth and clean, as if it is glowing.

He stood there steadily, his breathing quickening. When he saw Hanya Xian walking up to him, he hurriedly said warmly:

"I have the smell of alcohol on my body, so be careful if I smell it on you."

Hanyaxian was too shy to raise her head, so she just whispered:

"The water is ready. I... will help Qiao Lang change his clothes."

As soon as he said these words, Qiao Tianjing felt the smell of alcohol rushing straight to his forehead, and it was so hot that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

"Xian'er, please rest, I... will do it myself for my husband."

Qiao Tianjing dropped these words and hurriedly turned around and walked into the inner room. Looking at his steps, he felt a bit like he was running away.

Hanya Xian was slightly stunned at first, and when she looked up again, she only saw a fluttering red hem.

She endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold back her laughter.

Qiao Lang seemed to be even more shy than she was. This was very different from the famous and gentlemanly Qiao family man she had seen several times.

When she heard the sound of rushing water coming from the inner room, the teasing on her face suddenly turned into shame, and she hurried to the couch, pretending not to hear anything.

When Qiao Tianjing came out, he saw Hanya Xian already lying on the couch, and Da Hongxi was covered tightly.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, sat down on the edge of the couch and called softly: "Xian'er, are you asleep?"

Han Ya's face felt hot and she shook her head slightly.

Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing took a deep breath. The "secret technique" he had seen that day flashed through his mind, and he suddenly became distracted.

"I...came up for my husband."

He said, lifting the quilt and getting in.

Hanya Xian was so nervous that her whole body was tense. Just when she didn't know what to do, a strong body came up from behind.

She was ashamed and scared, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Perhaps sensing her uneasiness and fear, a big hand wrapped around her waist from behind and held her tightly in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Xian'er, I will be very gentle."

Warm breath sprayed behind her ears, and Hanya Xian felt the big hands caressing her gently and patiently.

"Xian'er..."

The lingering whispers became gentler every time, protecting her and giving her enough time.

Han Yaxian's long eyelashes trembled slightly. As the fear in her heart gradually disappeared, an indescribable tingling sensation spread into her limbs, making her body soft again.

Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing gently turned around Hanya Xian. Their eyes met and their breaths entwined.

He pressed Hanya Xian's forehead and felt the heat surging in his lower abdomen, making his voice a little hoarse.

"Xian'er, let's try, shall we?"

Hanya Xian closed her eyes and her voice was as light as a mosquito, full of shyness.

"Um......."

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his eyebrows stretched, and he couldn't bear the lust, and he instantly turned over.

The big red robe was thrown out of the bed, and it was all messy on the floor. Qiao Tianjing's cautious voice could be heard faintly on the bed.

"Xian'er, it will hurt a little, just bear with it, it will be fine soon."

The next moment, a groan of pain sounded, and then turned into a low whimper.

Qiao Tianjing spoke immediately, coaxing her gently and kissing her delicately one by one, as if protecting the treasure in her heart.

Soon, ambiguous moans and gasps intertwined, and the bed curtains swayed lightly.

"Xian'er, Xian'er, call me Qiao Lang..."

"Qiao Lang...Qiao Lang..."

"Xian'er, I'm very happy. Look, the night is still very long..."

crackling——

The red candles dropped the lanterns, and the white handkerchief was stained with red marks.

The ceremony is completed, complete.

————

Years of joy step by step, achieving success in the world and in the morning and evening.

Xian'er, from now on, I'll have you by my side day and night, and everything I wish will come true.
