Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

The Queen Mother confirmed that Prince Cheng was fine, and then glared fiercely at the Emperor who had just issued the order, her tone full of resentment.

"Emperor, what are you doing? He is your own brother, why did you tie him up?"

Not to mention the Queen Mother, even Lu Anyuan and Xu Yixing, who knew a little bit about the inside story, found it irritating to hear this. As expected, the Emperor was not her biological son, and the Queen Mother still liked her own son more.

"Why should I tie him up? I also want to ask when a secret passage leading to Yian Hall appeared in this palace!" The emperor was very angry. He seldom showed his emotions like this, but he did not show it to the empress dowager, but to Prince Cheng.

Of course my mother favors her son, but as you are my younger brother, all the favor and trust I showed you over the years have ultimately been in vain.

Prince Cheng bowed his head slightly. He was wearing heavy armor and ropes, so it was difficult for him to even bow his head. "Your Majesty, it was my fault. It's just that the Queen Mother didn't know about it. Please, Your Majesty, for the Queen Mother's dedication to your throne, and ensure that she has a worry-free old age!"

Prince Cheng never mentioned what he had done, but just kept confessing his guilt. It was obvious that he wanted the emperor to accept any charge he was given, just to save his biological mother's life.

"You!" The emperor was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands with a painful expression.

The Queen Mother saw what her son meant and said hurriedly, "Yin'er! What are you talking about? What crime are you committing? You clearly followed my instructions and built this secret passage. If the Emperor wants to investigate, it will only be my fault!"

Xu Yixing sneered in his heart. What secret passage? The emperor had clearly discovered the secret passage a long time ago. Isn't it you who is being lured out today? What's more, the crime now is not as simple as repairing a secret passage. Just based on the questions Lu Anyuan asked just now, it is clear that this mother and son will never be able to turn over.

Prince Cheng stared at the emperor as if he didn't hear his mother's words. He led his troops into the secret passage today because he heard that something had happened in the palace and came to rescue his mother. However, he didn't know that the "change" was actually himself.

He believed that the emperor was a smart man, and his brother was wise and intelligent. He just wanted to know the truth about his rebellion, so why not tell him. His mother... She was already over sixty years old, and she still had to work hard for her useless son. She really deserved to die!

"Your Majesty, three years ago it was me who allowed Chi Yan to leave and stuffed him into the carriage of He Xin's mansion. It was also me who told him the location of the secret passage and allowed him to enter the palace to assassinate. It was also me who specially prepared gunpowder for him and blew him to death in the secret passage in order to silence him. A year ago, Your Majesty was poisoned and it was me who bribed the high priest to poison the emperor during the sacrifice. It was all done by me alone, all done by me alone!"

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this. "Silly child, you, he hasn't asked yet, why don't you struggle?"

"Why?" The emperor's eyes were red, and he looked so angry that it seemed as if he wanted to eat King Cheng alive.

"Because I am unwilling to accept this! Why, why can you be the emperor, while I can only be a useless prince! Just because I am born with deficiencies, I cannot be the emperor!" Prince Cheng almost roared as he said this, completely out of his mind.

Xu Yixing and Lu Anyuan both lowered their heads to reduce their presence. If nothing unexpected happened, the emperor didn't intend for them to hear this. The current atmosphere was really like a Shura field.

After hearing the explanation, the emperor seemed to accept it. He leaned back slightly and was no longer as out of control as before.

Only Nanny Han, after hearing these words, took a few steps towards Prince Cheng as if she had lost her soul, causing Tai Ou to almost fall down because no one supported him.

"No... No... Why would the prince rebel because of this? This is not your intention. This is not your intention..."

"Wet nurse, there's no need for you to make excuses. Every word I said is true." Prince Cheng gritted his teeth, stood upright, and still looked in the direction of the emperor.

The Queen Mother's eyes revealed a hint of madness. Good, good! This is her son. Today he finally acts like a man!

"Emperor! Isn't it time to deal with the traitor Lu Anyuan today? He broke into the palace and kidnapped the empress dowager with the intention of treason. Don't you, the emperor, mean to do nothing about it?" The empress dowager suddenly became tough. This is clearly a problem between you and your son, so why are you putting so much pressure on me and my son?

So many people saw that the rebellious son Lu Anyuan held me hostage. Even if the emperor killed all those people, there was still Nanny Han and myself. At worst, there were still the guards in the hall. They all saw it with their own eyes!

"Heh." The emperor held his forehead with one hand and waved his other hand slightly, and the person who was holding Lu Anyuan immediately let go.

Lu Anyuan took out a tiger talisman from his arms and handed it over respectfully without any hesitation or delay.

The emperor took it with great satisfaction and handed it to the guard beside him. "Well done, you and the princess have worked hard these days, you can both leave the palace now."

"What..." The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with disbelief. What was going on? What tiger talisman? What was well done? What was all this?

Lu Anyuan knew that his father was so anxious because he didn't want them to continue listening to these scandals, so he answered yes and pulled Xu Yixing into the tunnel again. He followed the two masked men all the way to the exit, then quickly changed his clothes and got a carriage and hurried back home.

Before leaving, Xu Yixing seemed to hear a howling sound coming from the end, but he couldn't hear clearly what it was. He thought the Queen Mother would be so angry that she would die...

Without having time to greet Lu Anyuan, Xu Yixing returned to the palace he had not seen for a long time, and saw Ying Wu coming towards him. He could only quickly signal with his eyes to stop what he was about to say.

If Lu Anyuan knew that her original plan was to abandon him and flee to the ends of the earth if the situation got bad, how could he accept it?

"What's going on with my father?"

"Palace Commander Bai Yu led his men to surround Xu's residence a stick of incense a few days ago. I escaped before them and returned to the palace."

"Uncle?" She felt a chill in her body. As expected, the emperor never truly trusted others. Was he testing his uncle's loyalty by asking him to surround his father?

"Madam, don't worry too much about home. Once the affairs in the palace are resolved, I will definitely go to my father to plead for mercy and will definitely save the old general's life!"

Xu Yixing looked at Lu Anyuan with complicated eyes. Since he was able to cooperate with the emperor, he must have known his father's plan. How could he have the face to ask him to plead for his father?

"Well, actually I accidentally let it slip in the palace that the emperor already knows that my family has the Emperor's Sword in private."

Lu Anyuan held her hand, conveying to her infinite reassurance and peace of mind. "I guessed it. When I heard that you escaped from the capital, I knew something must have happened."
