After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

"You can't stop Yufei. Instead of letting her worry in the mansion, it's better to let her go directly to the palace. She can still help at the critical moment. Don't you think so?"

Yao Jing was more clear-headed than his son. "When that time comes, it will be useless for Yu Fei to stay in Yongning Marquis's Mansion. It will be just as dangerous. It is better for her to stay by your side. When a husband and wife are of one mind, they can break metal with strength."

"father--"

"Listen to Daddy. Daddy will never hurt you. You make Yufei worry about you, it's better for her to accompany you, it will be more reassuring. Daddy knows that you care about your wife, and you may be confused if you care too much, but it's unnecessary."

Yang Yufei also nodded firmly, "Ajin, whether you agree or not is nothing more than the feeling of me going secretly or going openly."

Yao Mingjin compromised and said distressedly, "Then let Yufei hide in the abandoned East Palace and don't run around. It's very dangerous."

"I will take good care of myself. You don't need to worry about me. Father, what are the chances of us being able to succeed?"

She wanted to be mentally prepared.

Yao Jing thought about the deployment over the years and slowly uttered two words, "Ninety percent."

Yang Yufei would feel more confident. In this case, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Rumors about the emperor were spreading like wildfire, and with the careful arrangements made by Chu Tengzheng, Yao Jing and others, the news soon reached the ears of the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother soon fell ill and fell into a coma, which made the Emperor very anxious. He immediately asked the imperial physician to treat her and regulate her body.

The empress dowager was very depressed when she woke up. She looked at the emperor with a hint of hatred in her eyes, and her face twisted hideously uncontrollably.

The emperor naturally sensed the change in her attitude, and his smile became much stiffer. "Mother, why are you looking at me like this? What happened? Did I do something to upset you?"

When the Queen Mother thought of the tragic death of her own son, a gnawing hatred surged into her heart, as if she were pierced by thousands of arrows, the pain was so severe that she even had difficulty breathing.

She really wanted to ask the emperor, her son loved him as his own brother and treated him well without any selfish motives, did he feel guilty when he poisoned the prince?

And there was her grandson who died tragically. How could Li Shicheng not even let a child go? How dare he do such an ungrateful thing?

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I was just thinking about my son. It would be great if Yide was still alive. My health is getting worse and worse. I may not live for many days. But it's good this way. I will be able to see my son soon."

The emperor found this very irritating. Why did he bring up Li Shide for no reason? It was unlucky.

"Mother, don't let your imagination run wild. I'll have the imperial physician use the best medicine to take care of your body. I hope you live a long life."

The empress dowager swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

This was the emperor who held the power of life and death over everyone. Even if she asked, what would she get? This man would never admit that he had killed his brother.

"Okay, I'll take advantage of your good wishes, Your Majesty." After she finished speaking, the Queen Mother couldn't help but cough violently, her face full of fatigue, "Your Majesty, my health is getting worse and worse. Thank you for visiting me. But if I let you pass on your illness, it would be a great sin."

"Your Majesty, you are very busy. You have done a great job in taking care of me with all your heart and soul. I will remember your kindness. Please go back and take care of state affairs first. Come visit me when you are done."

The emperor was not polite either. He told the empress dowager to take good care of her illness and not to have any excessive thoughts. He also asked the palace maids and nannies around her to take good care of her, and then left Ningshou Palace.

However, the uncomfortable feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger, just like a thorn stuck in my flesh that could not be pulled out.

"Eunuch Li, send someone to check what the Queen Mother heard. She treats me like an enemy."

Could it be that the Queen Mother knew what happened back then, which is why she hates me so much?

Eunuch Li immediately sent people to Ningshou Palace to investigate, but found no information.

He was worried, so he sent people out to check the latest gossip, but the result surprised him.

The news that the Emperor plotted to murder Prince Yide and kill all the Emperor's eldest grandson, as well as poisoning the Empress Dowager and causing her to become insane, had already spread like wildfire.

The news did not reach the emperor's ears because he was afraid of getting into trouble and having his head snapped off by the emperor.

Eunuch Li also had beads of cold sweat on his forehead. He was in a dilemma. He wanted to tell him the gossip that was unfavorable to the emperor, but he was worried that if the emperor, who was angry and embarrassed, knew about those things and spread them, he would lose his head too.

However, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

The Emperor called Eunuch Li to his presence and asked directly, "Why does the Queen Mother hate me so much? Two hours have passed, and I should have found out some information."

Eunuch Li's eyes were evasive and his face was full of embarrassment. It was obvious that he had found out something but didn't dare to tell him.

"Just tell me directly, can hiding it from me solve the problem? I know it's only a matter of time before those things happen." The emperor confirmed his speculation.

Eunuch Li had no choice but to tell the emperor all the rumors.

After a while, the emperor's face turned pale and he slammed his fist on the table.

"Which bastard spread the news? Weren't all the people who knew about it killed? Who else knows what happened back then?"

The emperor was shocked and furious. The news that he had murdered the crown prince and driven the empress dowager crazy had spread. The news that he had seized the throne by dishonorable means had spread. Who would still submit to him in the future?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. You are now the supreme ruler and the master of the Great Zhou Kingdom. This is an indisputable fact. The most important thing now is to suppress those rumors and not affect your reputation."

Eunuch Li comforted his master, "As for the Queen Mother, why not ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for her to take, her memory will naturally become confused and she will forget those things."

The emperor's face was livid. He was not as optimistic as Eunuch Li thought. "It's been more than ten years since those rumors were spread. That person was clearly targeting me. I don't know what tricks he has in mind."

"I absolutely cannot sit still and wait for death. I will hold power firmly in my hands. Send someone to tell Qiao Shanshan that I want her to accuse Yao Jing tomorrow and punish him. I want to take control of the military power."

Eunuch Li could feel the emperor's fear. As the emperor's confidant who had participated in the murder of the crown prince and the seizure of power, he knew how cruel it was.

Crown Prince Yide was poisoned, and all the people in the Eastern Palace were executed overnight. Only the eldest grandson of the emperor was hidden by the Crown Princess, who let her trusted eunuchs and palace maids carry him to escape through a secret passage.

The emperor sent many people to hunt him down, but to no avail.

Maybe the child is not dead and has come back for revenge.

They must get rid of Prince Yide's evil son in order to maintain their current power and position.

"I will send someone to pass the message to Princess Zhennan right away, and seize the military power tomorrow." Eunuch Li and the emperor stood on the same front.

The emperor still felt uneasy. After thinking for a while, he said, "Send Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei to the palace and tell them that the queen mother is very ill and the imperial physician cannot cure her. Let Yang Yufei treat the queen mother in person and stay with her in the palace for a few days."

Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei are both important hostages. If Yao Jing refuses to plead guilty tomorrow, he will have someone kill Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei.

Eunuch Li immediately followed the emperor's instructions.

There was an unusual atmosphere flowing throughout the palace. Everyone smelled danger and dared not speak nonsense anymore. They tried to minimize their presence as quickly as possible.

An hour later, Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei received the emperor's edict, asking them to go to the palace to treat the empress dowager.

The couple looked at each other, their faces became serious, "Okay, we'll go now, and allow the eunuch to ask the Crown Princess to pack up her things."
