I am not the biological heir of the Queen Mother, but the son of my father and a concubine of humble origin.

My mother-in-law died when he was very young.

In fact, I know very well that the mother-in-law did not die accidentally, but died in a fight in the harem.

My father, the prince, did not have many children, and most of them died young.

I relied on my own mind to avoid disaster after disaster.

My mother-in-law told me when I was very young, either you will be nothing and humble yourself in the dust, so naturally no one will notice you.

Or, you will be so powerful that others cannot touch you.

Only in this way can you protect yourself.

Otherwise, he would be like her, receiving undue favor but having no ability to protect himself. In the end, he might not even be able to protect his own child.

When she said this, she looked at Chu Chen with regret on her face, and I knew she was afraid that one day she would not be able to protect me.

And the facts have proved that it is true.

My mother-in-law died in the harem chaos.

It was just because her father favored her a few times.

After my mother-in-law died, I was raised in the name of the queen.

I don't know whether it was because the queen was unable to have children or because her father refused to allow her to have an heir. The queen had nothing to give birth to.

And I became her only son.

After I adopted her name, she was very nice to me and helped me in everything.

That's what it looks like on the surface.

But she never let her tutor teach me anything, nor did she let me practice martial arts. She always let me play while doing homework.

I know she wants me to be a loser.

But she kept praising me in front of my father.

As a child, I had no idea what she wanted to do.

Later, when I grew up, I understood.

She wanted me to take the throne.

But he wants me to be a waste emperor.

In this way, I can become her puppet and obey her orders.

And, I also discovered something.

Before she entered the palace, she had an affair with another man.

I once saw that man pretending to be a eunuch and entering the palace to serve her, and the two of them behaved in an ambiguous manner.

I secretly checked and found out that the man was the man before she entered the palace.

There are many dirty things in the harem, but this is the dirtiest thing I have ever seen.

Later, a new champion in a new subject appeared in the court, which was highly appreciated by my father.

The Queen was also particularly concerned about the situation of this new No. [-] scholar, and always spoke well of this person in front of my father.

Soon afterwards, this new top scholar became a popular figure in front of my father. However, in just a few years, he was promoted to several ranks and became the youngest second-rank minister in the dynasty.

The queen was very happy, and her attitude towards me became more perfunctory, and she was not as caring as before.

By acting stupid in front of the queen and focusing on some tricks in front of my father, I successfully changed my other brothers and sisters, making me the only candidate for my father to establish the heir apparent.

I always remember what my mother-in-law said.

If you want to have the ability to protect yourself, you must become strong and become a powerful person with a voice.

Therefore, the higher I stand, the safer I am.

But the process was very difficult because I couldn't trust anyone around me.

They may be someone's spy, or they may be a spy sent by someone.

Everyone, everyone in the palace wears a mask of disguise, no one is real.

Except for my dead mother-in-law, no one is really good to me.

After my father's death, the famous man Qin Wenye, who was favored by my father, became the regent and assistant minister.

This man has great ambition in his eyes, so I have always been wary of him.

After I ascended the throne, I discovered that the Queen Mother and the Regent also had close contacts.

I just began to suspect that there is a profound relationship between them.

I secretly replaced the people around the Queen Mother with my people, and sent killers to catch her concubines and interrogate them severely.

Only then did they ask about their relationship with Qin Wenye.

After learning about their relationship, I asked the killer to kill the man.

The Queen Mother does not know, she is still under my surveillance.

She didn't know that the people around her had been replaced a long time ago.

I knew every move she made.

Qin Wenye became more and more powerful in the court, and even the prime minister became his party member.

The imperial court even sometimes became his one-note hall. If I hadn't arranged some people in advance to check and balance Qin Wenye, I might have lost my place as emperor in the imperial court.

I began to make plans secretly, waiting for the day when I would catch all those who covet my throne and the Chu family.

Until that woman enters the palace.

When I first met Ye Su'er, I actually felt that she looked a little familiar.

Maybe it's because she is somewhat similar to Ye Ling'er.

I am deeply impressed by Ye Linger.

I met Ye Ling'er at a palace banquet a few years ago, and I kept this girl in my heart at that time.

And I also think that the person who enters the palace should be Ye Linger.

I was a little happy.

Although I always feel that this kind of joy comes out of nowhere, I don’t know why I can’t forget Ye Ling’er.

But I know that it was Ye Linger who I was waiting to enter the palace.

Until that day the palace banquet.

Only then did he realize that the person who entered the palace was Ye Su'er.

The person reported by the Prime Minister's Mansion was only the Prime Minister's daughter and did not say who it was.

I know that Ye Suer is a daughter that the Prime Minister brought home five years ago.

But I didn't pay too much attention.

But from the first moment I saw her, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity that made my soul seem to be traumatized.

I couldn't take my eyes off her.

Her dance was so captivating that everyone present could not help but be attracted to her.

But the way Qin Wenye looked at her that day disgusted me the most.

The Queen Mother, who rarely talked much about me becoming a concubine, also praised her, including Qin Wenye's praise of her, which made me aware.

Ye Su'er is a chess piece.

It was a chess piece they placed beside me.

Therefore, I deliberately sealed her as a beauty.

After she entered the palace, I deliberately ignored her.

Because I want to see what will happen to her if I neglect her.

But she didn't do anything. She just ate, drank, slept or practiced martial arts every day.

But I couldn't help but want to see her.

I don't know why, I just want to see her.

I went to spend the night in her palace. I had no intention of doing so...but I couldn't help myself when I looked at her.

She couldn't bear my child, so I made her drink the soup afterwards.

I know that she has a close relationship with Qin Wenye, and she is also an informant around me.

It is impossible for me to let such a person conceive my child.

But when I heard them saying that she drank it directly, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

Still a little distressed.

Why won't she resist?

I kind of hate iron but not steel.

But she was still promoted to concubine.

As the emperor, I had to get rid of her, so I started to flatter her.

But she is smarter and deeper than I thought.

She seems to be a natural planner, and she can survive in the harem like a fish in water.

None of the useless women in the harem could benefit from her hands.

Even the Queen Mother is helping her.

I started to care about her more and more.

When she didn't know, I secretly watched her many times.

Ye Ling'er also comes to see her every now and then, and sometimes bumps into me.

I'm a little annoyed with her.

What did she come to her for?

I also began to dislike Ye Linger more and more.

Ye Suer has also been refusing to sleep with me. Could it be that she is guarding Qin Wenye like a jade?

Thinking of this, I became even more angry.

She lurked around me just as a prank, but she was still thinking about other men.

I began to target Qin Wenye repeatedly in the court, making things difficult for him at every turn.

At the same time, I am pursuing my plan to dismantle Qin Wenye’s power.

To deal with Qin Wenye, we must first deal with Prime Minister Ye.

Prime Minister Ye is Qin Wenye's powerful backer in the court. If Prime Minister Ye is eliminated, Qin Wenye's power will almost be destroyed.

Soon, Prime Minister Ye was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

I originally wanted to use this matter to go to Ye Su'er and ask her to be soft on me.

Prime Minister Ye is her father, and she will definitely beg me to let them go. In this case, she will agree to anything.

Thinking of the way she cried in front of me and asked me to spare the lives of her family, I felt like my bones were numb.

But things were beyond my expectation.

She was quite happy after hearing that Prime Minister Ye was in prison.

And she actually told me bluntly that she was not Prime Minister Ye’s biological child.

What’s even more explosive is that she actually wants to join forces with me to get rid of Qin Wenye.

She said that she was poisoned and controlled by Qin Wenye, so she wished Qin Wenye would die.

I was actually a little excited inside.

But I can't show it.

Even though I knew she might be lying to me again, I still chose to believe it.

There were always half-truths and half-falsehoods in what she said, but I never asked for confirmation.

Because the lies you tell are actually harmless.

Because what I care about is not the lies she told.

She and I reached an agreement and began to deal with Qin Wenye together.

And I also know that many ministers in the court are actually her people.

On the surface, she sat quietly in the harem and did not participate in anything.

But in fact, many officials in the previous government acted according to her wishes.
