Lin Qingye was still refining medicine deep in the forest, while Ye Tingxuan, who had not appeared for a day, was already sitting in the Queen's carriage.

Today, the Emperor has set out with the Empress and a group of princes and concubines. The huge group is moving in an orderly manner towards the hunting ground.

At this moment, Ye Tingxuan was sitting opposite the queen with a cold face. He did not look up at the queen, but kept his head down and looked at his toes, without saying a word.

Seeing that Ye Tingxuan looked worried, the queen asked with a gentle smile and in a caring manner.

"Xuan'er, what's wrong? What happened? Didn't you leave for the hunting ground yesterday? Why did you come back today to look for your mother?"

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan still had an expressionless and cold look. After a long silence, Ye Tingxuan finally spoke.

"Mother, Li Wanqing is yours, right?"

After hearing Ye Tingxuan's incoherent words, the queen was stunned, but quickly covered it up calmly.

"Xuan'er, what do you mean? The Li Wanqing you are talking about is the daughter of Li Jinsong?"

Ye Tingxuan did not respond to the Queen's words, but continued to speak on his own.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to hide it from me. I came here today to ask you, and I am already 100% sure."

After hearing this, the Queen still wore a smile as if bathed in spring breeze and said, "Xuan'er, where did you hear such nonsense? You can't trust everything outsiders say."

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan finally raised his head. His cold eyes stared straight into the queen's eyes and he said word by word, "Mother, do you still remember Nan Mingyu?"

When the Queen heard Ye Tingxuan mention the three words "Nan Mingyu", an undisguised panic finally emerged on her face. She quickly turned her face to the window, pretending to look at the scenery.

"Of course I know that Nan Mingyu is the concubine of the concubine from the Pingnan Marquis's family that you like.

When you were little, she often went to the palace to check on your mother's pulse!

Xuan'er, why are you asking this suddenly? Did the second girl from the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion ask you to ask?"

Ye Tingxuan didn't plan to ask any further questions at this moment. He already knew the answer he wanted from the queen's panicked expression just now.

At this moment, Ye Tingxuan was looking at his mother in front of him, the mother he had respected since childhood. He once thought that his mother was the most kind-hearted woman in the world.

Yetingxuan vaguely remembered his mother's teachings to him when he was a child, who taught him to become a prince who was diligent in government and loved the people.

At this moment, Ye Tingxuan looked at the queen in front of him and felt both familiar and unfamiliar. He seemed unable to connect the person in front of him with the meticulous and ruthless person who killed people without blinking an eye.

The more Ye Tingxuan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. His mother had always been known for her kindness in the harem, and the concubines in the harem loved and respected her for that.

She was a person who couldn't bear to blame even the palace maids who made mistakes, so how could she be so cruel as to take the lives of Lin Qing and her mother?

Ye Tingxuan was silent for a long while and finally said slowly, "Mother, since Li Wanqing is yours, I need to tell you that she has poison from the Western Regions.

Yesterday, she drugged Bao'er without a second thought, and Bao'er nearly died from riding a horse off a cliff because of the drug.

I can't guarantee whether she will abuse drugs again during the next hunt, but I hope the queen mother can guarantee it."

After saying that, Ye Tingxuan jumped off the carriage without looking back, and rode his horse forward.

During this period, the more Ye Tingxuan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He unconsciously swung the whip in his hand harder and harder, and the horse under him also ran faster and faster as the whip became heavier.

When the queen saw Ye Tingxuan running away on his horse, she couldn't help but worry for a moment. Ye Tingxuan was her only child, and she had treasured him like the apple of her eye since he was a child.

The queen has also been secretly planning for Ye Tingxuan's future, and she has been secretly planning for these years just to ensure that her son can ascend the throne one day.

After living in the harem for so many years, the queen had already understood in her heart that in this palace where people eat meat without spitting out bones, if Ye Tingxuan could not ascend the throne one day, he would end up with no body left.

When the queen thought of this, the slight guilt she had just felt disappeared. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her armored fingers and gave orders in a cold voice to the outside of the window.

"Go, find someone to watch over the Sixth Prince."

The queen gave an order, and soon four secret guards flew out from a hidden place in the road and immediately rode fast horses to chase forward.

At this moment, Ye Tingxuan was still riding his horse wildly regardless of anything. As the horse accelerated, the trees on both sides of him became reflections.

At this moment, inside the eldest prince's carriage, a servant quietly came to report, "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has already left on horseback."

The eldest prince showed a meaningful expression and said, "Are you ready? This time I want to kill him."

The servant who came to report couldn't help but smile and said, "We are ready. This time we can guarantee that everything will be safe. We have found the top masters in the Northern Kingdom. Even if Ye Tingxuan has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to escape this time."

After hearing this, the eldest prince smiled and waved his hand at the visitor, saying, "Go, find someone to keep an eye on them."

At this moment, Ye Tingxuan was worried about the matter between the Queen and Lin Qingye, and he didn't realize that danger was approaching him quietly.

Just as he was riding his horse towards a small path, suddenly a dozen masked assassins in black appeared in front of him. Each of them was very skilled and had brutal swordsmanship.

Ye Tinghua was no match for the opponent alone, so he took the opportunity to mount his horse and gallop all the way, trying to get back to the main road.

Seeing this, the assassins behind him also rode on their horses and chased after him, with no intention of letting Ye Tinghua go. It was obvious that they would not give up until they took Ye Tinghua's life.

At this moment, Ye Tingxuan had been stabbed in the chest by one of the assassins. At this moment, he was covering his bleeding chest with one hand and controlling the horse reins with the other hand.

At this critical moment, the secret guards sent by the Queen finally caught up. Soon the secret guards fought with the assassins, which gave Ye Tinghua, who was escaping in front, a little chance.

Ye Tingxuan finally found the opportunity and rode his horse back to the main road. The two assassins who had been chasing him just now saw that Ye Tingxuan had already escaped back to the main road, so they dared not chase him any further.

Ye Tingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, but due to excessive blood loss, he fell heavily from the horse's back and fell directly on the road that the emperor and his convoy had to pass.

Soon, the guards leading the rear found Ye Tingxuan lying on the ground covered in blood and dying. They were so scared that they ran towards the carriage of the emperor and the queen.
