After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

Chapter 161 Rebellion vs. Revenge

When Yang Yufei was packing the medicine box, Yao Mingjin stood beside her and asked in a low voice, "Fei'er, are you scared? I originally wanted you to go back to your parents' home to hide for a while, but now it seems that you can't hide anymore."

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing to be afraid of. Ajin, this is also our chance, isn't it?" They have been preparing for a rebellion in the past few days, and now they enter the palace in advance as a precaution.

She was so calm that Yao Mingjin was infected by her emotions and was no longer nervous.

Everything went smoothly when he entered the palace. The emperor came to Ningshou Palace and told Yang Yufei to cure the empress dowager's illness, and then left soon.

The Queen Mother was still in a coma, and no one knew what she was dreaming about. Tears silently rolled down her eyes, and her face looked very painful.

Yang Yufei took the empress dowager's pulse, wrote out a prescription, and personally prepared and boiled the medicine.

Yao Mingjin stayed with her the whole time, watching her boil the medicine and bring it to the empress dowager's bedside.

At this time, the Queen Mother just woke up, feeling depressed, and was helped up by the nanny to sit against the head of the bed.

"Empress Dowager, you are depressed. Take some medicine and you will get better." Yang Yufei said softly.

"Yufei, thank you for coming to the palace again. My body is really useless and I often trouble you."

The Queen Mother knew her situation. She hated the Emperor so much, and also hated herself for having pitied that bastard and insisting on adopting him, which led to the death of her son and daughter-in-law and forced her into a desperate situation.

But it was no use hating him as her son, daughter-in-law and grandson were all dead, and the enemy was in power. She could do nothing, not even kill her enemy. She could only watch the beast live in glory and take away everything from her son with a clear conscience.

Yang Yufei felt distressed when she saw her disheartened look. This poor old woman was actually Yao Mingjin's biological grandmother. They were related by blood, but they could not recognize each other.

"Queen Mother, you don't have to be so polite. In Yu Fei's heart, you are just like my grandmother. I am willing to take care of you and wish you good health and happiness every day."

Yao Mingjin was also standing aside. He had met the Queen Mother countless times before, but he had never dared to imagine that this distinguished old lady was actually his grandmother. All of a sudden, heartache surged in his heart.

"Good boy, you remind me of my daughter-in-law. She is as gentle and virtuous as you, well-educated and well-mannered, and she is also kind to me sincerely. If my grandson grows up, it would be great if he could marry a wife like you."

Yang Yufei smiled shyly. She didn't dare tell the Queen Mother the truth.

"So the Queen Mother must take good care of her body and stay in a happy mood. There will be more delicious food, more beautiful scenery, and more wonderful people for the Queen Mother to meet in the future."

She looked at the old man in front of her sincerely, "Yu Fei really hopes that the Queen Mother will be happy, take the medicine well, and not think about those painful and unhappy things."

The Queen Mother shed tears and held Yang Yufei's hand, but in her heart she called out to her son and daughter-in-law over and over again.

Yang Yufei coaxed the empress dowager again and again until her mood gradually calmed down. She was sleepy from the medicine she had taken and fell into a deep sleep.

She and Yao Mingjin stayed in Ningshou Palace for the entire night, not wanting to leave.

The next morning, the emperor came and told Yao Mingjin to go to court.

The atmosphere in the court was depressing and gloomy, giving people an unusual sense of calm before the storm.

The first thing the emperor did was to attack Yao Jing. "Prince of Zhennan, someone reported that you colluded with the Kingdom of Nanyue, secretly sold weapons, war horses and salt, and leaked important intelligence of the Great Zhou Kingdom to the Kingdom of Nanyue. You are selling out your country for personal gain. Is this true?"

Yao Jing sneered in his heart and finally couldn't help wanting to get rid of him. Was it because those rumors about Prince Yide had spread, and he was scared?

Prince Yide had many supporters and followers at the time. Was he afraid of being pulled down from the throne if the truth came to light?

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. I am loyal to the Great Zhou Kingdom and have never colluded with the Nanyue Kingdom to sell war horses and weapons, let alone sell the most important salt to them."

The man on the dragon throne threw a large pile of evidence to the ground, his voice full of anger, "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble. It seems that you don't take me seriously at all?"

"Your Majesty, the letter can be forged. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, please find the specific physical and human evidence, otherwise I will not accept it."

"I see you really won't cry until you see the coffin. You want witnesses and physical evidence, right? I have them here. Eunuch Li, bring them up."

After a while, Qiao Shanshan and Yao Yi walked in holding a heavy wooden box.

"Princess Zhennan, it was you who reported the Prince of Zhennan for colluding with the enemy and treason. Please bring out the evidence."

Qiao Shanshan didn't dare to look at Yao Jingsen's cold and murderous gaze. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, here is the evidence that the Prince of Zhennan betrayed his country for personal gain and colluded with the enemy to rebel."

She opened the box and took out a bright yellow dragon robe, the imperial seal, and more account books and letters stolen from Yao Jing's study.

"The Prince of Zhennan wanted to seize the throne and had long been colluding with the Kingdom of Nanyue. He obtained several million taels of silver from the Kingdom of Nanyue. He also secretly raised tens of thousands of troops and wanted to usurp the throne."

Yao Yi also knelt down. This was the first time he had falsely accused someone, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He gritted his teeth and said, "My mother is right. The Prince of Zhennan is ambitious and has long colluded with the Kingdom of Nanyue to form a clique for personal gain in order to satisfy his desire for power. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty."

The emperor's face was even uglier than before. "This was reported by your princess consort and son. They have the dragon robe and the imperial seal, the account books and correspondence, and even the list of your cliques and selfish activities. Prince Zhennan, what else do you have to quibble about?"

Yao Jing straightened his back and simply stopped pretending. "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone. She is not my princess at all. She is a spy that Your Majesty has planted in the palace. Whatever she says, she will support Your Majesty."

"The evidence is irrefutable and he still refuses to repent. I absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of a person who sells out his country for personal gain and collaborates with the enemy to rebel. Imperial Guards, arrest the Prince of Zhennan and the Crown Prince and throw them into the Heavenly Prison to await their fate—"

As the emperor finished speaking, the guards came in with sharp swords.

Almost at the same time, another wave of guards rushed in from outside. Outside the palace, deafening shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

The next moment, the commander of the imperial guards placed his sword on the emperor's neck, and all the ministers in the Purple Palace were surrounded by the powerful soldiers.

"Don't move, otherwise you will lose your head." The murderous general shouted in a loud voice.

The emperor felt as if someone had a basin of cold water poured over his head. His whole body was ice cold and even his blood was about to solidify.

"Are you planning to rebel? Who gave you the courage?"

Chu Tengzheng and Yao Jing stood up, their faces remained unchanged in the face of this situation where one could lose his head at any moment.

"Your Majesty, didn't you murder Prince Yide in this way? Didn't you kill the eldest grandson? The Queen Mother and Prince Yide treated you as a real family member, but what did you do to the prince? How did you get the throne? Don't you know?"

The overwhelming fear almost drowned the emperor. He was covered in cold sweat and roared loudly, "Come and save me! Whoever kills the rebels will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, and be named Marquis of Protectorate the Country."

"Don't waste your time. The entire palace is under our control. You can't escape."

Yao Jing looked at the emperor sarcastically, as if he was looking at a clown. It turned out that this bastard also knew how to be afraid and was so spineless. It was really ironic.
