After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Everyone's attention was focused on Prince Ruyang, who was holding a sharp blade in his hand. No one noticed that the Fourth Prince, who was at the center of the incident, was pale and pinching his palms tightly.

Use pain to divert attention.

Only in this way can he control himself and not cry.

His mind was in a mess. The sudden change in his mother's attitude, her meticulous care for him as a child and her later indifference to him were all explained.

original……

This is so!

What he was once proud of turned out to be the product of a conspiracy.

Or was it a conspiracy from birth?

The rebel who is holding the Empress Dowager hostage is his real grandfather? Then who are his parents?

His breathing became heavier and heavier, and he became increasingly unable to breathe.

But the culprit who caused all this remained unmoved.

Facing Empress Xie's tearful accusations, Prince Ruyang laughed heartily, without moving the sword in his hand, and even moved it closer to the Empress Dowager's neck.

She was forced to raise her head slightly to avoid the sharp edge of the sword.

Qin Yaoguang watched her mother in danger, her heart trembling with anxiety. She secretly hated herself for being incompetent and hated the powerful inertia of the plot.

why?

Why is it that what is supposed to happen will definitely happen?

Why not yourself?

Yan Changqing was concentrating, his black eyes gleaming with dangerous light, his sight completely focused on King Ruyang.

As long as he showed a hint of weakness, he would be able to rescue the Empress Dowager from his hands.

Unfortunately, Prince Ruyang himself knew this.

There were far more people present who posed a threat to him than just Yan Changqing.

He is a prince, and although he has never stopped practicing archery and horse riding in order to seize the throne, his skills are naturally far from his superiors.

Prince Ruyang believed that he was able to reach where he is today precisely because he was clear-headed enough.

The person who once believed in Xie Shu was killed by him that year.

"Seeing that you care so much about my sister-in-law, I feel relieved."

He raised his chin towards the emperor in an arrogant voice and said, "In my opinion, there is no need to go through the trouble of exchanging hostages. As long as he writes a letter of abdication and passes the throne to me, I will release him immediately."

dream!

I don't think about it!

fart!

Everyone cursed in their hearts but were afraid of angering him, so they dared not say it out loud and glared at him.

Prince Ruyang became more and more proud.

I know you are unhappy, but you can't do anything to me.

Empress Xie was so angry that she was shaking all over.

How could someone be so shameless!

At this critical juncture, she deliberately said this thing that shocked everyone. On the one hand, she wanted to distract King Ruyang, and on the other hand, her intuition told her that this was the best time.

In front of the emperor, the empress dowager and all the civil and military officials, the culprit happened to be there too, so he made it clear all at once.

There is no better opportunity than now!

The fact that she raised someone else's child for more than ten years without even realizing it has become an indelible scar in her heart, which would bleed if touched even slightly.

This is also the reason why she didn't want to see the Fourth Prince.

Because of his existence, I am constantly reminded of the fact that I have been fooled by others.

She wanted to tell everyone a long time ago!

Afterwards, I will clear Yan Yuanan’s name.

Unexpectedly, Prince Ruyang did not respond to her accusations at all and simply ignored her completely.

In her excitement, she didn't notice that the Fourth Prince's hands were getting colder and colder.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Qin Yaoguang stepped forward.

"Uncle Emperor."

She spoke calmly, looking at Prince Ruyang and speaking slowly: "You also know that the request you made is not such a simple matter. The Queen Mother is old and in poor health."

"Why don't I replace her? We can talk about the rest slowly."

"Yao Guang!"

Yan Changqing called her name in a low voice, revealing his inner nervousness and worry.

Qin Yaoguang waved his left hand behind his back to calm him down.

The situation is at a stalemate, and we must actively seek a breakthrough.

She is willing to be this person.

Qin Yaoguang's suggestion was very pertinent, which made King Ruyang relax a little. He smiled and said, "It's worthy of Leyang."

Why doesn't he have such an outstanding daughter?

Because of her, all his plans were almost ruined, and he had to launch them early, which led to the current situation.

If they are not our own, it is better to destroy them.

This is what he thought and did.

Seeing the other party standing in front of him and calmly discussing the terms with him, King Ruyang began to feel a sense of appreciation for his talent.

"Leyang, how about this?"

Prince Ruyang held the Empress Dowager's arms behind her back with one hand and held the hilt of the sword with the other, without relaxing at all.

"Go and draft the imperial edict and have your idiot brother seal it with the imperial seal. I promise you that after I ascend the throne, you will continue to be the Princess of Leyang, and your whole family will be safe."

"Look, does the emperor's uncle treat you with special favor?"

It was just the final step and he would never agree to replace the hostages.

There was a hidden meaning in his promise. He only promised Le Yang the title of Princess and let her family live.

As for how to survive, isn’t it just a matter of a word after he ascends the throne?

Being imprisoned is also living.

Hearing him openly call the emperor a "fool", many ministers were filled with anger.

But at the same time, they felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this title.

Is it true that an emperor is a good emperor if he does not indulge in luxury and waste and does not squeeze the people's money?

Hard to say.

Not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

But the emperor is indeed a fool. He has been manipulated by Xie Shu for many years while sitting on the throne.

Many people went to see Xie Shu, but Xie Shu somehow shrank behind a pillar in the hall, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Uncle Huang is joking."

Qin Yaoguang knew that he would not be easily persuaded, so she proposed another solution: "You are not young anymore, can your niece ask someone to bring a chair so that we can sit down and talk?"

"You are quite filial."

Prince Ruyang was indeed a little tired.

It would have been fine if he just stood there, but he had to be highly alert the whole time to prevent any sneak attacks and to ensure that the Queen Mother was always standing in front of him. Even though it only took a few words, the energy and strength he consumed was far more than usual.

Qin Yaoguang's proposal made him very excited.

He glanced at Concubine Li and said, "Go and bring me a chair."

Concubine Li responded with a wooden face.

All the ministers glared at the Minister of Revenue, and their meaning was obvious: Look at what a wonderful daughter you have raised!

If Prince Ruyang didn't have Concubine Li as his accomplice, how could he have taken the Empress Dowager as a hostage?

If there were no hostages, Prince Anle would have subdued him long ago. How could it have evolved into such a dilemma?

The Minister of Revenue covered his face and dared not see anyone.

The expression on his face was extremely complicated, one of shame and relief.

Concubine Li thoughtfully brought a high-back chair made of chicken-wing wood and carved with the pattern of "Five Blessings" so that Prince Ruyang could sit more comfortably.

"Your daughter is very sensible."

Prince Ruyang was not in a hurry to sit down. He said to the Minister of Revenue provocatively: "When I ascend the throne, you will still be your Minister of Revenue."
