Seeing that Yinzhen was already suspicious, Ye Bingshang spoke up at the right time: "Now that Huanbi is a princess of Prince Guo's mansion, and like Concubine Shu, she is also a descendant of the Baiyi tribe. I wonder what Prince Guo's attitude is?"

"Seventeenth Master?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows. Why should he care about Seventeenth Master's attitude?

"Yes, Your Majesty, didn't you tell me before that Prince Guo has always refused to marry or take concubines? For so many years, there has only been one Princess Huanbi in the mansion."

Yinzhen then remembered this and sighed, wondering what kind of vision the Seventeenth Master had.

It is hard to tell whether it was ridicule and disdain, or gloating. Yinzhen suddenly felt that if I dealt with Huanbi, wouldn't the love-minded Old Seventeen be childless? No, I can't be so unkind. It would be bad for my reputation if it got out.

Yinzhen sighed indifferently, "I'd better go and ask Old Seventeen's opinion. It just so happens that Old Seventeen has caught a cold at Lingyun Peak recently, so I'll go and visit him."

If Old Seventeen really had to have Huanbi, it was not impossible for him to help him. He would just have to punish Zhen Yuandao for taking in a criminal.

"The Emperor and Prince Guo have a deep brotherly love." Ye Bingshang praised openly but was sarcastic secretly. Let's wait until we get to Lingyun Peak and see the surprise that your good brother has hidden.

Yinzhen: "Yeah."

Yinzhen decided to take Ye Bingshang out of the palace to visit Lingyun Peak tomorrow, and to visit Prince Guo and ask him how infatuated he was with Huanbi.

In order not to waste this God-given opportunity, Ye Bingshang revealed to Concubine Qi the affair between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo, as well as the fact that Yinzhen would be going to Lingyun Peak the next day.

"My lady, can the source of this news be trusted? I always feel that it is too coincidental." Jingtai, the maidservant who came with Concubine Qi, raised the question. Although she was not smart, she always felt that what had happened recently seemed to be aimed at the Zhen family.

Moreover, the evidence is so complete, and the news can be accurately revealed to Lord Emin and her mistress. With such great powers, why doesn't he report it himself?

Lady Qi rolled her eyes at Jingtai nonchalantly, "What do you know? This is a godsend opportunity. Even God can't stand the dirty deeds of Zhen Yuandao's family."

"Humph, this Zhen family is a nest of snakes and rats. Both the old and the young are not decent. They still have the nerve to pretend to be aloof and noble in front of me. Now when I think about it, I feel sick and want to vomit."

"My lady, please write a letter to the master and let him think about it." Jingtai still felt uneasy and kept persuading her.

Unfortunately, Concubine Qi was blinded by greed at the moment and only wanted to use this incident to completely bring down Zhen Huan and completely resolve the hidden danger between her and Guaerjia, so she directly rejected the idea.

"No! Opportunities are rare and cannot be delayed." Concubine Qi slammed the table arrogantly, trying hard to act confident, but her clear eyes seriously affected the effect.

"Let's go. It will be most fatal if we expose the affair between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo in front of the Emperor at Lingyun Peak. By then, the Emperor will no longer have any sympathy for Zhen Huan, and Prince Guo will be in big trouble too. We can kill two birds with one stone."

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is feasible. She is really talented. The illegitimate daughter of the Zhen family became the princess of Prince Guo. It is equivalent to having Prince Guo as a backer. Now they can work together to defeat you.

Concubine Qi couldn't help but laughed, "Zhen Huan, oh Zhen Huan, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for neglecting your family and doing such a shameful thing. You can't blame me and my father for reporting you."

"Jingtai, follow me to pay a visit to Concubine Lan, and ask her to help me put in a few good words in front of the emperor, so that the emperor will agree to take me to Lingyun Peak."

"Yes." Jingtai's voice was listless. He had given up struggling and only hoped that Ye Bingshang could reject Concubine Qi's request.

However, this situation was created by Ye Bingshang's sting operation, which was pushed forward step by step in secret. How could she let Concubine Qi go?

After hearing Concubine Qi's request, Ye Bingshang agreed on the spot and covered Concubine Qi's hands with hers. "I understand. I will go to the Yangxin Palace with you to see the emperor after I change my clothes."

After changing her clothes, Ye Bingshang walked up to Concubine Qi holding a box with a dark red background and roses outlined in gold thread, and took out a pair of bracelets from the box.

Ye Bingshang gently took Concubine Qi's hand and put a red jade bracelet on her. She looked at it carefully, with admiration in her watery eyes.

She said in a gentle tone: "Lady Qi has skin as white as snow and slender fingers. She looks really beautiful with this red jade bracelet."

Concubine Qi likes extravagant dressing, and she stared at Ye Bingshang closely when she took out the pair of bracelets. Seeing Ye Bingshang put them on her and praised her, she felt very happy, but pretended to refuse: "How can I do this?"

Ye Bingshang did not expose the truth, but glanced meaningfully at the red jade necklace on Concubine Qi's neck, "I think this pair of red jade bracelets looks like a set with your necklace, so it's just right for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Following Ye Bingshang's gaze, Noble Lady Qi also looked at the red jade bead necklace on her chest, with a hint of pride in her tone, "This was given to me by the Empress. It is a tribute from a foreign country."

"It's really a good thing. I can even smell the fragrance faintly." Ye Bingshang said casually, as if she was just saying it casually. "I have been in the palace for many years and have seen a lot of precious jade jewelry, but I have never seen such a red jade with fragrance."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi sniffed the pearl necklace, then the pair of bracelets, and said in surprise, "It's true. The color and water content of this pair of jade bracelets are not inferior to the pearl necklace, but they have no fragrance. The tribute is worthy of being a tribute."

He didn't think in the direction Ye Bingshang guided at all, which showed that he was heartless and stupid.

Ye Bingshang choked. Even with her superb acting skills, she couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. She was so stupid that she didn't expect it. Could it be that she also needed to have someone reveal the answer to the question 100%?

Ye Bingshang shook her head and sighed in her heart. It has not been easy for the Queen over the years. She has led Concubine Qi, Concubine Mi, Noble Lady Qi, and the Third Prince to carry heavy burdens forward.

"Come on, follow me to the Yangxin Palace and tell the emperor that you also want to leave the palace and go to Lingyun Peak tomorrow."

……

The sun was high in the sky, and the bright sunlight shone on the layers of snow on Lingyun Peak, but the chill in the air did not diminish at all.

Inside the tightly closed door, Prince Guo and Zhen Huan were hugging each other reluctantly. They had just confirmed their love and were deeply in love.

Zhen Huan looked extremely tired, her face was haggard, her eyes were swollen from crying, and her hands were twisted and hanging limply. She no longer looked as bright and charming as before.

"Yunli, I'm really scared. My parents are old and they really can't stand the bumps."

Prince Guo held Zhen Huan tightly in his arms and said affectionately: "Huan'er, please believe me, I will definitely ask my brother to help my uncle and aunt survive this disaster safely."

Zhen Huan leaned weakly in Yun Li's arms, moved to tears, "I will never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime. I just hope you won't make the emperor unhappy because of me."

"For you, I'm willing to do anything, and everything is worth it." Prince Guo's tone was very serious and firm, as if he really regarded Zhen Huan as more important than his own life.

Only he himself knew that his royal brother was suspicious and cold-hearted by nature, and had never truly liked him, the younger brother who was deeply loved by the late emperor. All his superficial actions were just for the sake of reputation.

But Zhen Huan, leaning on his arms, believed it to be true. She had become what she is now. Not only were her hands disabled, her family background was gone, and she would not be able to have children in the future. What was there worth anyone's attention and plotting against?

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan was overwhelmed with sadness, and Prince Guo's gentleness and thoughtfulness brought back all the grievances and sadness she had felt since entering the palace. She lost control of her emotions and threw her arms around Prince Guo's neck.

"If only you were the one I met at the beginning, I shouldn't have entered the palace and shouldn't have been favored."

"Huan'er, I've been attracted to you since the beginning. The little elephant you hung on the tree branch when you prayed for blessings in Yimei Garden is still treasured in my purse."

The two people's breathing became closer and closer, and soon their lips and teeth were close to each other, and their ears were rubbing against each other. Zhen Huan seemed to have a revengeful mentality, wanting to vent the grievances and resentment that had accumulated in her heart for many years, so she was particularly proactive.

The prince's clothes and the nun's robes fell to the ground one by one. Zhen Huan and Prince Guo became more and more excited and got into the mood. The winter chill could not stop their skin from turning slightly red.

Zhen Huan's gentle voice called out again and again in a lingering and sad voice: "Yun Li..."

"Huan'er, I'm here."

Just as the two were about to soar into the sky, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, accompanied by a sharp female voice.

"In a temple like this, you dare to do such filthy things. You really bring disgrace to the royal family!"

You know it’s embarrassing, but you still shout so loudly!

Prince Guo and Zhen Huan, who were doing something shameful, were instantly frightened out of their wits. All the good times were gone. They were both afraid and ashamed. They picked up clothes to cover their bodies while looking to see who the person was.

But when I looked up, the desire to die was completely gone.

"emperor……"

There was a man and a woman standing at the door. They were Concubine Qi who was filled with righteous indignation and Yinzhen whose face was dark and green.

Prince Guo was so frightened that his legs went limp. It was over, all over.

He never imagined that his careful plan that he had been hiding for more than ten years would be ruined in such a tragic way. He was caught in bed with his wife and the baby died in his womb before he could even start. Now it was hard to say whether he could save his life.

Concubine Qi did not feel the chill emanating from Yinzhen at all. Her face was full of unabashed pride, and she said in a very loud and clear voice, "Your Majesty, do you think I did not deceive you?"

"Humph, I dare to swear on the entire Guarjia clan to report that the deposed concubine Zhen Huan had an affair with Prince Guo and Yunli, defiling the royal family. But you don't believe what I say and even suspect that I am deceiving the emperor."

"Shut up!" Yinzhen gnashed his teeth in anger. Everyone except Concubine Qi could feel the green cold air emanating from his body. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Prince Guo and Zhen Huan were terrified, not knowing how long Yinzhen had been eavesdropping outside the door and how much he had heard. But Zhen Huan knew that no matter how she argued, it would be useless.

"Brother, this is all my fault. I was attracted by Master Mochou's talent and took advantage of her worrying about her parents. If you want to kill me, then do it."

Prince Guo acted as if he was obsessed with love and was willing to take all the blame, just asking Yinzhen to let his beloved woman go.

If this beloved woman was not the deposed concubine, and not Zhen Huan who looked very similar to his deceased wife, it would be really touching. Maybe he would really help them get together right away. He originally came here to help his seventeenth brother and Huanbi.

Unexpectedly, his consideration for the brotherhood resulted in their double betrayal. The abandoned concubine who asked to leave the palace to practice cultivation was in the temple, having an affair with her own brother who was ten or twenty years younger than her!

Yinzhen suddenly laughed, and the look he gave the two of them became more fierce. He stepped forward and slapped Prince Guo mercilessly, "This slap is because you dared to think about your brother's woman. It is considered unjust."

Snapped--

"This slap is for your disrespect and lack of filial piety in doing such a filthy thing in the royal temple, under the nose of your biological mother."

After taking a breath, Yinzhen raised his foot and kicked Prince Guo in the abdomen, saying in a rough voice: "This kick is because you dare to touch the woman of the current emperor. It is considered disloyalty!"

"Old Seventeen, you are disloyal, unrighteous, unfilial, and unfraternal. I am extremely disappointed."

Prince Guo felt so much pain in his abdomen that he wanted to die, but he could only beg for mercy, breathing out more than breathing in, "I know I was wrong, I beg you to forgive Zhen, she was seduced by me."

"What do you mean by seduction? They are clearly in collusion." Concubine Qi was tactless and pointed at Prince Guo and Zhen Huan, saying loudly, "Your Majesty, it is obvious that Prince Guo and Concubine Wan have been together for a long time. Why don't we search Prince Guo's mansion to see what else they are hiding?"

“Royal brother!” Prince Guo subconsciously spoke out to stop him, but he immediately shut up after realizing that this would make him look guilty. There were still forces hidden in his mansion that he had secretly cultivated over the years...

Yinzhen narrowed his eyes and observed the expressions of the two carefully, as if he wanted to dig out their hearts and take a good look at them. He even ignored the loud voice of Concubine Qi for a moment.

Yinzhen: "Xia Qian, Su Peisheng, go check."

"The slave obeys the order."

Compared to Xia Qian who looked calm on the inside and out, Su Peisheng's expressionless face was all just acting. Uncovering the royal family's secondary secret was like putting a knife on his neck, and the emperor could kill him if he was not pleased.

Su Peisheng couldn't understand why Zhen Huan was so bold. Didn't Jing Xi try to persuade her?

The process of waiting for the search was extremely long. Both the kneeling Prince Guo Zhen Huan and the condescending Yinzhen felt like their days were passing by badly. Only the foolish Concubine Qi was the most calm.

Her happiness was too obvious, and therefore out of place. Yinzhen was frantically thinking about how to resolve the situation.

It was easy to deal with Zhen Huan, but Prince Guo and Concubine Qi were more troublesome. After all, they were his younger brothers, and he killed too many brothers who were imprisoned, not out of consideration for brotherly love, but for consideration for his reputation.

Su Peisheng: "Your Majesty, Xia Qian and I found this in Prince Guo's mansion." He handed over the marriage certificate and a series of forces, then stood back and kept silent.
