Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Hearing that Xu Zhiyuan was coming, Yin Qingxuan also wanted to meet her.

Moreover, she should also tell Xu Zhiyuan about Ashlan, so that she would not be deeply in love and unable to extricate herself.

Ye Jingyu didn't want to be disturbed by others' hard-won warmth.

He said calmly: "No."

Xu Zhiyuan had already arrived at the door. When she heard Ye Jingyu's voice, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Then, I heard a familiar voice say: "Your Majesty, you'd better meet him. I also want to see Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhiyuan's expression changed instantly.

It's Yin Qingxuan's voice. Why is she back?

Ye Jingyu's voice sounded from inside the hall.

"Since Xuan'er wants to see her, let her come in."

Li Defu naturally heard it, and he also recognized that it was Yin Qingxuan who spoke.

Naturally, he, a eunuch, did not dare to ask about the emperor's affairs. In short, he felt comfortable when the emperor was happy.

He took a step back and said with a smile: "Master Xu, please come!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Li."

Xu Zhiyuan opened the door slowly.

When he came to the palace, he saw Yin Qingxuan in men's clothing.

She walked over in surprise.

"Empress, you have returned to the palace."

Yin Qingxuan smiled at her.

"Well, are you okay?"

"Thanks to your Majesty and the Emperor, everything is fine for me and my concubine."

She was blessed by Yin Qingxuan. Yin Qingxuan reached out to help her up. Seeing that Xu Zhiyuan looked good, she felt relieved.

Han Bing has already placed the dishes he brought on the table on the side.

"This is the meat porridge our little master spent two or three hours personally cooking for the emperor. Your Majesty, please eat some while it's hot."

Ye Jingyu glanced at Xu Zhiyuan, smiled lightly and said, "I'm interested. I've already eaten tonight, so I'm not hungry yet."

Xu Zhiyuan walked to the bed, her eyes filled with loneliness.

"Did I send it here too late?"

Thinking that Xu Zhiyuan had saved him many years ago, Ye Jingyu couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he said, "It's not too late, bring it and I'll eat some more."

Xu Zhiyuan suddenly smiled. She took the meat porridge, put it to her mouth and blew it carefully before feeding it to Ye Jingyu.

Seeing this scene, Yin Qingxuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but also a little confused.

Doesn't Xu Zhiyuan love her elder brother to death? Why is she suddenly so tender towards the emperor?

She took a few steps back and gave the edge of the bed to Xu Zhiyuan.

Ye Jingyu had pushed away the porridge bowl, and although his voice was gentle, there was an undisguised sense of alienation.

"I really can't eat anymore. It's getting late. You should go back and rest."

Xu Zhiyuan sighed softly, handed the bowl to Han Bing, and said in a soft voice: "Concubine Yao has just returned to the palace, and her body must be weak. She is the one who really needs to rest. I will stay with you tonight." Your Majesty!"

Yin Qingxuan couldn't help but glance at her, is she weak?

Have it?

How could this sound like tea? As a person who likes to read novels, Yin Qingxuan is very familiar with this kind of rhetoric.

Xu Zhiyuan was not like this a few days ago. At that time, she was as shy as a snake and a scorpion towards Ye Jingyu, and she would not be so close to him at all.

Comparing the two, Yin Qingxuan frowned. She couldn't understand why Xu Zhiyuan suddenly changed. Could it be that she already knew that Yin Xingyun was Asilan, so she turned her target to the emperor?

While thinking about it, I heard Ye Jingyu's voice say softly: "No need, I have something important to discuss with Concubine Yao, please step aside first."

Xu Zhiyuan pursed her lips and could only say: "I, my concubine, will retire first. Your Majesty, please live a good life."

She carried the bowl of porridge that had been cooked for several hours and walked backwards out of Chengtian Hall.

As soon as I arrived outside the palace, I heard someone shouting: "Little Master Xu, stay here."

Xu Zhiyuan turned around and immediately saw Yin Qingxuan walking in the moonlight.

Even though she was wearing men's clothes, she still looked stunning.

Thinking of Yin Xingyun's "like" words, Xu Zhiyuan clenched her fingers, feeling a pain like a needle pricking in her heart.

"Is it okay for your Majesty to call me my concubine?"

She didn't show anything, she still had a slight smile on her face.

Yin Qingxuan nodded.

"I have something to do. Can I have a few words with you alone?"

"Han Bing, go and wait."

Xu Zhiyuan brought Han Bing and asked, "I wonder why the queen calls me my concubine?"

Yin Qingxuan looked at her and said with a faint smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be alienated from me. How did you return to the palace?"

Xu Zhiyuan immediately bowed.

"How dare I alienate my mother? I was frightened and suffered from heart palpitations. I just felt uncomfortable."

She paused and then said: "I was brought back to the palace by the emperor's people. That day, the emperor and the prince went to Zuihongyuan together, and I happened to be rescued by someone."

Thinking that she was left in Zuihongyuan by Yin Xingyun, Xu Zhiyuan tightened her fingers a little more, and her long nails had penetrated deeply into her flesh.

Yin Qingxuan said "oh" and raised her apricot eyes.

"Have you ever asked an imperial physician to take a look at your body?"

Xu Zhiyuan hurriedly pressed her chest.

"I'm much better now. The Imperial Hospital is busy recuperating the emperor's health. How dare I cause trouble?"

Yin Qingxuan looked at her with a half-smile and said, "There is no conflict between recuperating the emperor's health and treating your illness. Could it be that... you are faking your illness?"

Xu Zhiyuan was slightly startled, and the light in her eyes changed slightly.

"Ma'am, you..."

Yin Qingxuan chuckled.

"It's just a joke, don't take it to heart. I called you to tell you that the Yin Xingyun you saw is not my eldest brother."

Xu Zhiyuan asked in surprise: "What do you mean... by your Majesty's words?"

Yin Qingxuan hugged her shoulders and said: "There is a magic in the world called disguise. That person copied my elder brother's appearance and made the same face as him. His true identity is King Tuyalajile of Jiangwu. , the name is Ashland."

Yin Qingxuan paused and then said: "I heard from his maid that my eldest brother was captured in a fight with Jiang Wu a few years ago. He must have been captured at that time. They made a copy of his face and got familiar with his life. After getting used to it, I disguised myself as him and sneaked into Dazhou."

Xu Zhiyuan's expression suddenly changed and she took a step back in horror.

"This...how is this possible?"

Yin Qingxuan sighed and said: "This is indeed the case. My eldest brother should still be imprisoned in Jiangwu at this time."

Xu Zhiyuan suddenly covered her ears.

"I don't believe it. I don't believe it. It must be a lie made up by the queen. The queen must be lying to me."

"I didn't lie to you, and I don't need to lie to you."

After Yin Qingxuan finished speaking, she shouted to Han Bing.

"Take your master back!"

After saying that, she turned back to Chengtian Palace.

Looking at Yin Qingxuan's back, Xu Zhiyuan suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a silent sneer.

She must have been afraid that the taboo affair between her and Yin Xingyun would come to light, so she made up such a reason.

If the emperor knew, I wonder what expression he would show?
