After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

After returning to Jingxin Palace, the emperor drank a large cup of tea before swallowing down his anger. The words Zhao Yingxue said involuntarily emerged in his mind.

"Eunuch Li, do you think the failure of blood test has anything to do with Yang Yufei? And Chu Xiaoxiao's sudden appearance today, was it an accident or was it intentional? The timing of Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei's arrival is too coincidental."

One was a coincidence. Shen Yuying was pregnant with an adulterer's child, the queen had an affair with a man, and Li Hexiong and Li Qingyun were not his children. These terrible things happened in one day. No matter how you think about it, it seems to be a human design. There are not so many coincidences in this world."

Eunuch Li had cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know how to answer such a life-threatening question.

"Miss Chu's heart attack should be an accident. The accident in the blood test between the Crown Prince and Princess Qingyun should not have been tampered with. But the Crown Princess suddenly appeared, and the Queen and another man did that kind of thing in the palace where the Crown Princess lived before, which may have been set up by someone."

"I will have someone check all the maids in the palace to see if there is anyone who looks like Chu Xiaoxiao. I will never tolerate anyone using Chu Xiaoxiao to take advantage of me or frame me."

Eunuch Li immediately sent people to investigate, and they only said that an assassin who looked like Chu Yanyi had appeared in the palace and assassinated the emperor, and all the palace maids were checked.

This went on for two or three hours, and by dawn, they still hadn't found any palace maid who looked like Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Your Majesty, no one has been found who looks like the Crown Princess. I also had people check the place where the Crown Princess appeared, and there were no traces of human presence. Even on the roof of the abandoned palace where the Crown Princess went, there were no footprints."

Thinking of this, Eunuch Li's scalp tingled and he was terrified. Isn't the imperial palace a place illuminated by the Purple Star and shrouded by the aura of a real dragon? How could it be haunted?

When the emperor heard the results of the investigation, he felt as if his heart was torn open as if the most important thing was missing. His eyes were red and his face was filled with nostalgia.

"Could it be that the person who showed up last night was really Chu Xiaoxiao? She was worried about Yan'er and was afraid that I would hurt her, so she broke through all the obstacles and came back?"

Eunuch Li wished he could become invisible and didn't want to answer the emperor's life-threatening question.

The emperor thought of Chu Xiaoxiao's cold temperament and her stubborn eyes that did not conceal her hatred at all. Over the years, he had never seen this kind of temperament in other women.

He poured a glass of wine with great heartache and poured it down his throat. "Besides her, who else would dare to express such deep hatred towards me?"

"Her soul couldn't rest in peace even after death, so she came back to remind me not to use or hurt Yan'er."

"Will Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei continue to investigate? Your Majesty, will they plot against Miss Chu?"

The emperor suddenly felt that there was no point. "Don't investigate. No matter how far they stretch their hands, they can't make the queen cheat on men. All of this was done voluntarily by Zhao Yingxue."

"It's almost time, let's go to court."

At the morning court session, the emperor directly announced that the queen had colluded with the prince and others to rebel and usurp the throne, and poisoned him and the queen mother. When the matter was exposed, he had the three people, mother and son, who had rebelled, executed and demoted them to commoners.

The civil and military officials in the court were shocked and wanted to say something, but the emperor spoke first, "Duke Sheng did not teach his daughter well and indulged the deposed queen's ambition. Considering that he was unaware of the situation, he will be demoted from the first rank to the third rank and fined three years' salary."

In the crowd, Zhennan Prince Yao Jing and Mingyao Marquis Chu Tengzheng remained calm, but their hands hidden under their sleeves were clenched into fists.

Very good, if they put a little more effort into the Shengguo Mansion, they will be able to completely get rid of it. The emperor has lost a powerful left and right arm, and the rest of the things will be easier.

After the court was dismissed, Yao Jing and Chu Tengzheng exchanged glances, and there was no more communication from then on. Some things should be put on the agenda.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, the Marquis of Mingyao's Mansion, the Duke of Rong's Mansion, together with the forces cultivated by Yao Mingjin, should have a good chance of winning. Blood debt must be repaid with blood.

The emperor went to Ningshou Palace to see Chu Yanyi again.

Yang Yufei and Yao Mingjin were both there guarding. They hadn't slept all night and their eyes were full of red bloodshot.

"How is Yan'er? Did her heart disease relapse later?"

Chu Yanyi woke up quickly and struggled to get up, but was held down by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Yan'er is much better. Thanks to Sister Yufei's care for me yesterday, I really didn't have an attack. In the past, Yan'er would get sick from time to time, which scared my parents a lot. Now she gets sick less often. These are all because of the effect of the pills Sister Yufei gave me."

She looked at Yang Yufei with gratitude, then realized that she had talked too much. She glanced at the emperor embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue.

"I'm sorry, Yan'er mistook the emperor as the father that Yan'er relied on the most, which is why she said so much."

The emperor looked at his daughter's sparkling eyes and felt so soft-hearted that he couldn't help but wonder if he had thought too much about Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei.

"Yan'er, do you often get sick?"

"It happened quite often before. Whenever I was too sad, too scared, or too angry, I would get sick. It also happened frequently in spring and winter."

Yan'er said casually, "Yesterday, Yan'er met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he said something that made Yan'er unhappy. He said that Yan'er is very beautiful, has a good family background, and is favored by the Emperor. It's a pity that Yan'er suffers from a heart disease, so it may be difficult for her to give birth to a son."

"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not dislike Yan'er and was willing to marry her as the Crown Princess. Yan'er was very angry and emotional. Not long after returning to Ningshou Palace that night, she became ill."

"Yan'er is so useless. She has never seen a big scene." Chu Yanyi is angry again, and her face is still a little depressed. "Your Majesty, Yan'er should go home. There are some people in the palace who talk to Yan'er and she can't stand it. It's all because of Yan'er's poor health."

The emperor's eyes became even deeper. He didn't expect that Li Hexiong had already contracted syphilis, but still dared to think about Yan'er. That bastard really deserved to die. He deserved it!

He had no doubt that what Yan'er said was false. There were many eyes and ears in the palace, and it would be full of loopholes for Yan'er to make up such a lie.

No wonder Yan'er's heart disease relapsed, it turns out there was such a reason.

"Your Majesty, it's already daybreak. Can Yan'er go home now? Yan'er misses her parents very much, and she can't stay in the palace to disturb Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Chu Yanyi asked cautiously. She noticed that the emperor was in a bad mood and didn't dare to annoy him.

The emperor was actually reluctant to let Yan'er go back, but he had no reason to keep his daughter, so he could only agree against his will.

"Yufei, Ajin, you personally escort Yan'er back to Mingyaohou Mansion and make sure Yan'er is in good health before leaving." The emperor was in a bad mood, so he gave a few instructions and left.

After Yang Yufei and Yao Mingjin escorted Chu Yanyi home, they took a carriage back together.

"All those who harmed us are dead. Fei'er, are you happy?" Yao Mingjin had already received the news that Li Hexiong had been executed and his identity had been stripped away. Now that his great revenge had been achieved, he felt relieved.

"I'm very happy. Finally, I don't have to see those annoying people anymore, and I don't have to wear mourning clothes for them. I even want to sing a song now." Yang Yufei said sincerely.

Even if the emperor suspected her, it didn't matter. She just sent Shen Yuying to the palace and didn't interfere in what happened afterwards.

But it was different for Yao Mingjin. She was a little worried whether what he did would leave any traces.

"It's okay. The emperor has checked and we are all innocent. This may be God's will. Fei'er, don't worry."
