"Your Majesty, the rebels have entered the palace."

After hearing the news from his father-in-law, the emperor looked at the Queen Mother sitting next to him and asked in a relaxed tone:

"Mother, are you worried?"

Queen Mother Shen raised the tea cup in her hand, brought it to her mouth and took a sip before saying leisurely:

"I've guessed it all in advance, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Cough cough cough..."

The emperor was about to speak, but suddenly he coughed. The father-in-law who was standing aside quickly poured a cup of tea, handed it to the emperor's mouth, and asked the emperor to take a sip.

Seeing that the emperor was coughing really badly, the father-in-law walked to the emperor skillfully, stretched out his hand and patted the emperor's back hard. After dozens of slaps, the coughing gradually stopped.

He gasped for air and waited for a long time before continuing:

"Send people to continue to keep an eye on Yunfeng and Yunli. Once the situation gets out of control, take them down directly."

"Yes."

Seeing that the emperor had already given the order, Queen Mother Shen actually wanted to chat with her son. She raised her head and winked at the servant, and the eunuch and the palace maid stepped back wisely.

"If the Wen family is gone, do you really plan to pass the throne to Yunfeng?"

The Queen Mother pretended to be casual and asked softly, but her eyes were fixed on the Emperor, wanting him to give her an accurate answer. The emperor looked at the ground guiltily and replied softly:

"Why did my mother bring up this matter again? Yunfeng is my biological flesh and blood, so I naturally have the intention to pass the throne to him. Besides, there is Yunli, so I have to continue to observe and observe before I can make a decision."

After hearing the emperor's explanation, Queen Mother Shen couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. Thinking back then, if the Wen family hadn't had some evil intentions, how could the emperor have allowed that woman to give birth to the child Yunfeng.

The emperor said that he treated Yunfeng and Yunli equally, but don't think you can't guess what he was thinking. For Yunfeng's biological mother, the emperor still felt guilty in his heart.

The mother and son did not speak anymore, but sat here quietly waiting for everything to settle.

"Your Majesty, the second prince wishes to see you."

Upon hearing Li Yunfeng's request for an audience, the emperor's frown suddenly relaxed. But he was the emperor after all, and even though it was his own son waiting outside the door, he still didn't dare to give him full trust.

"Come here, escort me!"

It was only when the emperor was convinced that Li Yunfeng would not pose a threat to him even if he had other thoughts, that he finally gave the order:

"Let the second prince come in."

Li Yunfeng was seen wearing soft armor with a few dazzling drops of blood on his face. Seeing the emperor, he quickly knelt down to salute and said:

"Father, I have captured the rebel Wen family and handed them over to the Criminal Department for processing."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

The emperor praised him three times in a row, which made Li Yunfeng's whole body tremble. Although he had just personally taken the head of the Wen family master, he still felt uneasy in his heart.

He didn't know if his father had found any evidence of his secret dealings with the Wen family over the years. He was not sure whether his father would really believe his words and felt that the Wen family's rebellion had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Li Yunli's voice came from far away:

"Let me in quickly! If you dare to stop me again, if something happens to your father, I will kill you!"

Seeing that the third prince was also rushing over, the emperor no longer deliberately delayed the time, but said to the second prince with a pleasant look:

"Yunfeng, stop kneeling. Go sit over there for a while. I want to see what Yunli is acting in."

Just as he was talking, Li Yunli rushed in regardless of the servants' obstruction. Seeing that his father was still standing here, his mood finally calmed down.

"Father!"

Li Yunli called his father and stood between the emperor and Li Yunfeng. He looked at Li Yunfeng defensively and said in a serious tone:

"Father! The Wen family's rebellion was not caused by his family, but by collusion with the imperial brother. The emperor just attacked the Wen family personally. He gave up on the Wen family because he saw that the rebellion was hopeless. I have the emperor's brother in my hands these years If you don’t believe the evidence of collusion with the Wen family, you can come and see what happens.”

While Li Yunli was talking, the escorting officers and soldiers had already surrounded him. It's just that the situation in front of them made them confused as to which one they should win.

"Yunli, please don't be rude to your imperial brother. Your imperial brother has already told me that the Wen family is planning to rebel."

The Queen Mother, who had witnessed everything, also opened her mouth to explain:

"Yunli, you and Yunfeng are brothers, what's the point of making such a fuss. Come on, come on, come to the imperial grandmother, don't make your father angry again."

Seeing that the emperor and the queen mother were still talking about him, Li Yunfeng felt much more at ease. He stood up, put on a false smile on his face, and said softly:

"How old are you, the third brother? How come you still have the same temperament as when you were a child? You can do whatever you want. The Wen family has indeed contacted me and suggested such treasonous things as rebellion."

"However, I told my father about this as soon as possible. After getting my father's consent, I contacted the Wen family privately in order to catch all the Wen family today."

Seeing that Li Yunfeng was looking at ease at this moment, Li Yunli knew that if he wanted to defeat him completely today, he might not have a chance.

However, he is not the type to let others take advantage of him. Even if Li Yunfeng couldn't be convicted of treason today, he still had to plant seeds of doubt in the hearts of his father and the Queen Mother.

"Royal grandmother, father and brother don't take me seriously at all. They don't even tell me what their plans are!"

Li Yunli pretended to be angry and sat next to Queen Mother Shen. He took out the incriminating evidence he had prepared in advance directly from his arms and showed them all to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother did not take the evidence to heart at first, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and it was even difficult to control her emotions.

"Your Majesty, Ai Jia suddenly feels a little unwell."

Hearing that the Queen Mother was unwell, the Emperor first called the imperial doctor over, and then said to the two princes:

"The Queen Mother is unwell. You two should stop causing trouble here and go where you need to go."

When only the Emperor and the Queen Mother were left in the room, the Queen Mother suddenly sat up, not looking at all uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, Yunfeng's connection with the Wen family does not happen in the past two years. It can be traced back to the year when he left Leng Palace and went to the eldest princess' mansion."

"What? How old was he then?"

Seeing the disbelief on the emperor's face, the queen mother could only patiently persuade:

"When you were six years old, you told the Ai family that you wanted to be emperor. You said that only in this way can the queen mother and the imperial sister have a good life."

"Li Yunfeng, you'd better think about it again."
