After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Eunuch An was standing by the bed, holding a whisk and hunching his body, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Second Prince, Third Prince, since you have already visited, please go back. The imperial physician said that the emperor needs to rest."

Eunuch An waited until the Second Prince finished speaking before ordering him to leave.

"You! You are just a eunuch, and you dare to tell this king what to do!"

The second prince was very angry, and the third prince also glared at Eunuch An.

Eunuch An clapped his hands and a row of guards came out of the room, holding bows and arrows and pointing them at the second and third princes.

The third prince couldn't help but hide behind the second prince.

The second prince stood aside with disdain, "I will come to visit my father again tomorrow."

When the third prince saw the second prince leave, he hurriedly followed him out of the Yangxin Palace.

The second prince asked the guards to wait for him at the palace gate as he wanted to visit Concubine Hua.

He wanted to figure out one thing.

Concubine Hua received the news early in the morning that Xiao Minchen had entered the palace.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the bedroom looking around.

"Chen'er!"

Hua Fei finally saw her long-missed son, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Your son greets you, mother. How are you?"

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it after we go in."

Concubine Hua helped Xiao Minchen up and walked into the bedroom together.

"Why did Chen'er come back so quickly?"

"I was planning to come back, but after receiving the letter from my mother, I set out overnight."

The two men sat down and the servants left.

"Mother, I have something to ask you."

Concubine Hua looked at Xiao Minchen's serious expression and nodded.

"You said."

"Back then, when the Queen gave birth to the Crown Prince, was Mother there?"

Hua Fei tilted her head and recalled.

"No, at that time, your mother was pregnant with you. In order to avoid being disturbed, your father allowed your mother to stay in the palace."

"Does mother know who was there that day?"

Concubine Hua was very confused as to why Xiao Minchen had so many questions about the Queen's childbirth.

"Back then, it was said that the Queen was persecuted by Concubine Rong and had a miscarriage early."

"Because of this, Concubine Rong was banished to the cold palace."

"By the time the emperor and others arrived, the queen had already given birth to the prince."

Xiao Minchen's eyes flashed, it turned out that there was something fishy going on.

"Mother, do you know where Concubine Rong is now?"

"She should still be in the cold palace, right?" Concubine Hua was not sure.

Ever since the Hua family was raided, she has been under house arrest by the emperor, and her bedroom has become a cold palace.

She only learned about the emperor's serious illness from the maidservants who occasionally heard some rumors.

"Chen'er, are you going to look for Concubine Rong?"

Concubine Hua guessed a little bit about her son's thoughts.

"Well, mother, I will be out for a while and will come back later."

The second prince hurriedly left Concubine Hua's bedroom and walked in another direction.

The cold palace in the imperial palace is located at the westernmost part.

The second prince walked hurriedly in the palace.

Suddenly, a person appeared from the side of the road.

He bowed to the Second Prince and said, "Your servant greets the Second Prince!"

The second prince was startled, but when he saw that the person in front of him was a eunuch, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get out of the way. I have something to do."

He put on airs and scolded.

"Second Prince is truly a forgetful person, but have you forgotten about me?"

As he spoke, the other party raised his head.

The second prince looked at him carefully, "Cao Meng? Are you Cao Meng?"

"It seems that the Second Prince still remembers me!" Cao Meng cupped his hands.

"Aren't you the deputy commander? How did you become this... this rootless person?"

Xiao Minchen asked in surprise.

There was a strong hatred in Cao Meng's eyes, but he did not explain.

"Second Prince, have you received the secret letter sent by this servant?"

"What secret letter?" The second prince's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the secret letter was sent to him by Cao Meng?

"Did the Second Prince really not receive it, or is he trying to hide it?"

"The civet cat is replaced by the prince!"

Cao Meng stared at Xiao Minchen and lowered his voice.

"So it was you who sent it!"

"But how can this king believe something without any basis?"

Cao Meng used to be Xiao Minchen's man, but later, he betrayed Xiao Minchen and threw himself into Anyang's arms.

What's more, now he is a eunuch.

Eunuchs are the most heartless and ungrateful people, so Xiao Minchen has to be on guard against them.

Cao Meng laughed a few times.

"The Second Prince is in such a hurry to find Concubine Rong?"

The second prince was startled.

Cao Meng finished laughing, "Unfortunately, Concubine Rong is already dead."

Xiao Minchen blurted out in a hurry.

"Doesn't that mean there is no evidence after death?"

Cao Meng laughed "hehehe" again.

"The slave is the witness!"

It turned out that Cao Meng changed after Zhao Jingyan destroyed his descendants.

In particular, he knew that Anyang had regained a young and handsome mistress.

He stumbled to the princess's mansion. Anyang looked at him arrogantly, gave him a hundred taels of silver, and sent him away.

He swore at that time that he would take revenge.

Zhao Jingyan is already dead, and the only person who harmed him is Anyang.

He tried to assassinate Anyang, but several times, he was discovered by the guards before he got close to Anyang.

Finally, he went straight into the palace.

He wants to climb to the highest point and find a way to take revenge!

After entering the palace, he found that the filth among the eunuchs was no less than that in other places.

That night, he was ordered by other senior eunuchs to clean the toilet.

He was very angry and ran to the cold palace to vent his anger.

Next to the courtyard where Concubine Rong lived was a place that Cao Meng often went to.

There were a lot of bushes there, and people hid inside, so people outside couldn't see them.

As soon as he hid inside, he saw light on the road outside.

The road outside the cold palace was unlit at night, so out of curiosity he pushed aside the bushes.

Only then could he see clearly that the people outside were the Emperor and Eunuch An.

Rushing out from Noble Lady Ning, Concubine Rong told the truth and died by hitting her head against the wall.

Cao Meng saw it all clearly until the emperor ordered the execution of all the people.

He knew that Eunuch An was a eunuch with martial arts skills, so he didn't dare to make a sound throughout the whole process.

I was afraid that I would lose my life if I wasn't careful.

He lay in the bushes until almost dawn, then slipped back to his residence.

He couldn't help trembling until he lay down on the couch.

After Eunuch An and the Emperor left, they came back several times.

If he didn't know Eunuch An's character, he would have become a corpse in a mass grave long ago.

The next day, he started his duty as usual.

It was not until the emperor became seriously ill that he thought over it again and again before he took the risk of passing the news to Xiao Minchen.

"How can I trust you?"

Xiao Minchen expressed deep doubt.

"In fact, the emperor has already asked the secret guards to find out the truth about this matter."

"Your Majesty, this is why you fell into a coma!"

Xiao Minchen paced back and forth.

"Does the prince know?"

"According to what I have learned, the Crown Prince already knows that the Emperor has discovered the truth of what happened back then."

"What do you want to gain by telling this to me?"
