When Prince Guo was tied up like a dead pig by Xia Qian, all irrelevant people had been dismissed by the emperor back to their own palaces. The only ones left were the emperor and the empress.

Zhen Huan and Ye Lan'yi had their mouths gagged, tied up tightly, and kneeling on the ground.

When they saw the person coming, both of them had tears in their eyes and wanted to say something but stopped.

Especially Zhen Huan, as soon as she shed tears, Prince Guo's heart almost melted.

He glanced at Zhen Huan with tenderness, and then, as if he thought no one had noticed the flirting between them, he knelt straight down in front of the emperor with a look of righteousness on his face.

From beginning to end, he didn't notice Ye Lanyi who was also kneeling beside him.

"Royal brother, why did you invite me like this? What did the Imperial Concubine Xi do wrong to make you treat her like this?"

Every word and sentence is sincere.

Unfortunately, the more sincere he was, the more he hurt the emperor.

The emperor looked at him coldly, then slowly stood up and walked over. He took out a dagger, pinched Prince Guo's right paw and looked left and right.

Then, while he was bewildered, the emperor cut off Prince Guo's thumb.

"Xia Ge, take the blood, don't waste it."

A man can live without his thumb, but he can no longer hold an archer.

Regardless of whether there is an affair between Zhen Huan and him or not, based on what Prince Guo just said, even a fool could tell that he has some unusual feelings for Zhen Huan.

Therefore, if the blood test later shows no melting, the emperor can spare his life, but deprive him of the right to use military power, which is the price he pays for coveting the imperial concubine.

But if the blood is mixed, then don't blame the emperor for being rude.

The Aisin-Gioro family does not practice killing sons, but it does not mean that they do not practice killing brothers.

Amid Prince Guo's cries of pain, the two children were taken out again, and this time, their parent-child relationship was completely confirmed.

Upon seeing this, Prince Guo, who was in love, suddenly turned his head to look at Zhen Huan, with surprise and joy in his eyes, and he almost didn't care about the pain.

"Huan'er, I know you have me in your heart!"

Well, as soon as this sentence came out, Zhen Huan was completely disappointed. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him in a way that was unparalleled in the world.

If she had known that love-brained people were so unreliable, she should have personally killed Prince Guo, this bastard who only held them back!

The emperor looked at the few drops of blood in the bowl in silence, then suppressed his anger, his face twitching, and looked at Prince Guo, who was full of joy but still couldn't see the situation clearly, and said coldly:

"Old Seventeen, I treat you well."

It was only at this moment that Prince Guo finally showed a hint of guilt on his face.

"Brother, this is all my fault. I couldn't help myself. If you want to kill me, just come after me!"

"I will neither kill you nor cut you into pieces, Old Seventeen. I want you to make a choice. Both Zhen and Ye love you. Now, choose one. The one you choose, I will personally send her away."

Upon hearing this, Prince Guo was stunned. His gaze wandered between Zhen Huan and Ye Lan'yi for a moment, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

"Brother, when did you become so cruel?!"

The emperor didn't even think of paying attention to his words. He just shook the Eighteen Pieces with a playful look on his face.

"3, 2, 1——"

"Okay! I choose! I...I choose...Noble Lady Ning...Lan Yi, I'm sorry..."

Prince Guo was forced to make a choice helplessly. He hung his head dejectedly, feeling extremely painful in his heart. The light in Ye Lanyi's eyes disappeared visibly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the emperor suddenly clapped his hands and laughed:

"Okay, okay, my Seventeenth Brother is indeed a man who cherishes flowers. I will follow your instructions and send you and Ye away from the palace. Someone, drag Zhen away and make her whole. I will give her to the Seventeenth Master as dry food later!"

"No!!! Huan'er! Brother, how could you lie to me!?"

Amid Prince Guo's shrill cries, Xia Qi quickly dragged Zhen Huan and the two bastards away.

As for why drag it on?

There are special people responsible for making them into sliced ​​skin and roasting them.

……

Zhen Huan died. Before she died, she first sent away her two children, then sent away the daughter that Shen Meizhuang gave birth to with great difficulty, then her own family, and finally, it was her turn.

Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu were escorted to the execution ground. They watched with their own eyes as their nine clansmen were beheaded. Only then, filled with pain and regret, were they finally granted death.

Prince Guo and Ye Lan'yi did not die because the emperor came up with a more interesting idea.

He ordered people to break Prince Guo's limbs, disfigure his face, and pull out his eloquent tongue.

He and Ye Lanyi, who had all her limbs intact but also lost her tongue, were thrown into a ravine to become beggars.

As for the title of Prince Guo, he threw it to the useless and annoying third brother Hongshi.

As for Hongli, he made his fortune by relying on nepotism. Now that Zhen Huan has fallen, he, as Zhen Huan's legacy, is naturally once again rejected by the emperor.

It seems that there is no chance of making a breakthrough in this life.

The two disabled people who were thrown into the ravine had a very hard life.

Ye Lanyi was willing to serve the useless Prince Guo wholeheartedly at the beginning, but with such harsh living conditions, how long can she hold on?

No one knows.

Even if Zhen Huan is gone, the fighting in the palace will not stop.

The emperor was frightened by his previous group of women, and now he keeps doting on new people, with his mind full of having a son, having a son.

There is no way around it, after all, his family really has a throne to inherit.

But the empress could no longer sit still after the emperor did this. She indeed also needed a child to be a puppet, but that did not mean she was willing to see the emperor have so many children, so she took action again.

This time, she was jointly reported by An Lingrong and Wen Yuan.

Speaking of which, the reason why An Lingrong chose to form an alliance with Wen Yuan was because she found out that she was pregnant, but obviously, without Zhen Huan as her strong rival, the Queen did not want her to give birth to the child.

So, in order to protect herself, An Lingrong, who had brains but no power, after analyzing the pros and cons, decisively chose to surrender to Wen Yuan, who had a bad temper, was rich, beautiful, and had everything but no brains.

An Lingrong was very clear about her physical condition. She could conceive the child, but she would not give birth to the child.

It just so happened that Wen Yuan's health had been completely ruined by the Queen, so she decided to take a big gamble.

With the help of An Lingrong's brain, Wen Yuan soon found an opportunity to report to the Queen that she had poisoned Queen Chunyuan.

This time the emperor did not even give face to the empress dowager's will and simply deposed the queen. From then on, no one in the palace could match An Lingrong and Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan was a person of her word. After she overthrew Yi Xiu, she provided An Lingrong with good food, drink and medicine to take care of her body, at least to ensure that she could hold on until giving birth.

The following year, An Lingrong gave birth to a son, but after three days she died of hemorrhage. The emperor then promoted her to the rank of Concubine Li.

Wen Yuan was delighted to have a healthy, slightly frail son and happily became Concubine Qi. Six years later, she became a happy, wealthy and beautiful empress dowager.

Fortunately, the child's brain was inspired by An Lingrong, otherwise, according to Wen Yuan's happy education method that only focused on eating and drinking every day, the emperor would have become a puppet of the ministers sooner or later.

However, those things were not something Wen Yuan could get involved in.

She only knew that she had lived a very happy life!
