"My Lady, Yao'er is gone. It was Duan'er, that evil creature Duan'er. He poisoned Yao'er..."

As an emperor, Emperor You'an holds the power of life and death, and has long lost his sympathy for life and death.

But because the one who died was his son and the one who did it was his other son, he still burst into tears as he said this.

He was heartbroken beyond measure.

During the years when he doted on the Imperial Concubine the most, the Imperial Concubine gave birth to his eldest son, whom he loved and raised for many years... He even thought that if the Crown Prince died soon, he would make him the crown prince!

And the fourth son... before the prince came back, he was his youngest son, so he was his favorite after all!

Hearing Emperor You'an say this, Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, looked at Emperor You'an, and cried almost crazily: "No, no... My Yao'er, my Yao'er!"

Emperor You'an was also so heartbroken that he hugged Concubine Qi and cried bitterly.

Concubine Qi covered her chest and cried in Emperor You'an's arms, cursing as she cried:

"That evil creature, the fourth one! That evil creature!

He has been torturing me since he was born. He insisted on giving birth to me for a whole day and night and still refused to come out. Now he is here to harm my Yao'er. My Yao'er, Your Majesty, you must cut him into pieces! Cut him into pieces!

Even if you were cut into pieces, it would not relieve the hatred in my heart, my Yao'er..."

Emperor You'an felt even more heartbroken when he heard Concubine Qi say this.

Whether it was Prince Yao or Prince Duan, they were all his sons. After establishing the Crown Prince, he treated each of the princes equally with only a fatherly love.

Although Prince Duan did something wrong, Concubine Qi's cursing was like stabbing another knife into his already painful heart.

Emperor You'an was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak, but he was still coaxing Concubine Qi: "Don't be too sad..."

The pain in Concubine Qi's heart was mixed with hatred. She couldn't help but complain to Emperor You'an: "Your Majesty, if you hadn't insisted on sending him to Jingchu, he would still be well under your nose. With you watching, how could the fourth brother have the chance to dare to poison him!"

"Are you blaming me?"

Emperor You'an pushed Concubine Qi away in disbelief and covered his face with his hands, but his tears fell even harder. He thought to himself, the incident of the prince being poisoned... If Yao'er had not been allowed to go to Jingchu, how could he have survived just because he poisoned the prince!

But he really couldn't say this to anyone!

Concubine Qi was lying on the bed, almost crying and fainting: "Give my Yao'er back to me, I want my Yao'er, you are biased, that's why you drove Yao'er away..."

Emperor You'an looked at Concubine Qi like this, and the pain in his heart seemed to have found an outlet:

"Shut up! When have I ever been partial to my sons? It's you who always favors the eldest son and mistreats the fourth son. Otherwise, how could he have such vicious thoughts in his heart?

You said that the fourth child is an evil spirit, then what about you, the mother who gave birth to an evil spirit? What about me, the father who raised an evil spirit? You gave birth to the eldest child, so isn’t the fourth child your biological child? "

After listening to Emperor You'an's words, Concubine Qi screamed excitedly. She simply couldn't accept that her beloved eldest son lost his life because of her.

"Your Majesty! You said that. Do you still want to protect that evil creature, the Fourth Brother? If that evil creature feels that I am unfair, he can just come and kill me. Why did he attack my Yao'er? He should have been strangled to death when he was born!"

Although Emperor You'an knew that Prince Duan was wrong in doing this, hearing these words from Concubine Qi still made him feel chilled to the bone.

He originally wanted to comfort the Imperial Concubine at this time, but the Imperial Concubine's behavior only made him so angry that his lips trembled, and he raised his hand and slapped her: "You bitch! My two good sons have been ruined by you! You want the fourth son to be cut into pieces, okay, I promise you, when the fourth son dies, you will go to atone for his sins and be buried with him! You will never see the eldest son again!"

When Concubine Qi heard this, she fainted.

Emperor You'an didn't even look at her. He wiped his tears from his face, walked out of the Yikun Palace, and ordered people to imprison the palace.

......

Besides Concubine Qi, everyone in the Prince's Mansion was also woken up just after falling asleep.

Shen Xiyue listened to Mao Ping's report and exchanged glances with Murong Xuan, quite shocked, "The fourth brother actually poisoned the eldest brother like this."

Although I knew that Prince Duan wanted to kill Prince Yao, I didn't expect him to use such cruel and vicious methods.

Mao Ping said again:

"Yes, Prince Duan had no scruples and killed the doctor who treated Prince Yao on the spot. The butler of Prince Yao's mansion saw him and ordered the guards to arrest him. He sent a message back and escorted Prince Duan back to the capital."

Ran Luoguo stroked his beard and sneered, "They are two stupid bastards born stupid."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be countless swords and sabers in his eyes: "When my father told me history books in the past, he always said that the previous dynasties were filthy, dirty, cruel and inhumane. In fact, every dynasty is the same. The murder of my brother is the beginning of this dynasty!"

After a pause, he sighed again:

"Back then, my father said that the eldest prince was just a little spoiled and arrogant, and the fourth prince was disliked by Concubine Qi since he was born. He has been paranoid and forbearing since he was a child. It is said that the barking dog bites people. If one day, the fourth prince wakes up, he will definitely pay back with interest."

Shen Xiyue sighed when she heard this. It was really sad that Concubine Qi had such different attitudes towards her two sons, which had led to the current disaster.

"But I still want to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ran Luoguo chuckled, and then chuckled again: "When Prince Duan returns to the capital, the Emperor will definitely hand this matter over to the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Clan Court for investigation. From now on, no one will stand in His Royal Highness' way."

Murong Xuan nodded slightly. He was not too surprised by the current situation.

Ever since he escaped from Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion with Shen Xiyue in his arms that night, everything started to get on track. Little by little, he gained control of the power in the court. Now, everyone knows about the virtuous reputation of Xiyue, the Crown Princess.

Almost no one can shake his position as crown prince.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard footsteps outside again, and a man in black knelt down and said, "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Yikun Palace has been imprisoned."

"Imprisoned?" Without waiting for Shen Xiyue and Murong Xuan to respond, Ran Luoguo had already stood up, his face full of incredulity: "The imprisonment of Yikun Palace must be the emperor's intention... Why is it that the imperial concubine has a falling out with the emperor at this time?"

The man in black hurriedly said, "We didn't hear the specific conversation clearly, we only heard the emperor was furious and said something about wanting the concubine to be buried with Prince Duan..."

Shen Xiyue frowned. Had the quarrel really come to this?

After a moment of silence, her eyes suddenly brightened up again: "So, Your Majesty, I'm afraid you will have to return to the capital soon..."
