Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Deep within the majestic imperial palace, the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

The handkerchief in Concubine Shu's hand was clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, but she forced a gentle smile on her face.

Yan Nansheng was leisurely eating melon seeds, his eyes flickering around Concubine Shu.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better? I heard that Your Majesty was not feeling well, and I was extremely worried."

Concubine Shu walked lightly towards the emperor's bedside and spoke softly. The worry in her eyes was just right, but her slightly trembling eyelashes still revealed the uneasiness in her heart.

The emperor just stared at her quietly, his eyes were deep and cold, and that look made Concubine Shu feel creepy.

The crisp sound of Yan Nansheng cracking melon seeds was particularly clear in the silent palace, "Madam Shufei, do you know that my father has been poisoned?"

The sound was plain, but it was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake.

Concubine Shu was shocked, but pretended to be calm on the surface, "I didn't know there was such a bold person in the palace who dared to poison Your Majesty."

Yan Nansheng raised a meaningful smile, "Madam Shufei, do you really not know?"

Concubine Shu was in a state of confusion, but she still pretended to be calm, "Sheng'er, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I did it? I have always been kind to others in the palace, how could I do such a treasonous thing."

Yan Nansheng did not respond, but just continued to eat melon seeds.

At this time, the emperor slowly said: "Shufei, I have treated you well, why do you do this?"

Concubine Shu knelt on the ground with a plop, tears falling like beads from a broken string, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. Your Majesty must have been blinded by the treacherous man."

Yan Nansheng stood up and walked to Concubine Shu, "My Lady Shu, please don't rush to cry out for justice. The poison will eventually be found out. My Lady Shu, please don't underestimate my ability. If I get slapped in the face, it won't be pretty."

Concubine Shu looked up, a resentful look flashed across her eyes, "Princess, please stop slandering me. Without any evidence, how can you just frame me?"

Mo Qing watched this scene from the side, secretly regretting that he didn't take enough melon seeds.

The night owl was guarding outside the palace gate, with his ears perked up, listening to the noise inside. A storm was about to break out in the palace.

Yan Nansheng returned to the chaise longue and sat down again. "Madam Shufei, please get up. It's tiring to kneel down. It won't be too late for you to kneel down again after I find the evidence."

Concubine Shu stood up slowly, her body still trembling slightly.

Yan Nansheng clapped his hands, "Mo Qing, go get me some more melon seeds. The show isn't over yet, we can't be without the melon seeds." Mo Qing turned around helplessly.

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu, and disappointment spread like a tide.

He always thought that Concubine Shu was gentle and kind, but he never expected that she might be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Yan Nansheng held the tea, blew it gently, and took a sip.

When the second prince entered the palace, he saw the fifth prince hugging Concubine Shu and crying for the emperor to investigate.

"Poison?!"

The second prince looked at his father with wide eyes. He was secretly shocked to see that his father's face looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness and his lips were slightly purple.

Isn’t the emperor sick? Is he poisoned?

The Second Prince's reaction did not seem fake. Yan Nansheng brought the tea to his lips and blew gently, then took a sip and tasted it.

There was a hint of doubt in his drooping eyes. Was he really unaware?

Yan Nansheng expanded his mental power and quickly sensed the Second Prince's emotional fluctuations. He felt surprise but no fear.

Facial expressions and eyes can be disguised, but the emotions that emanate from your body cannot be deceived.

She was even more confused, as the Second Prince was indeed unaware of the situation.

Then why did the emperor decide that she was Consort Shu?

Could it be that Concubine Shu did it without telling her son so that he would not be branded as a patricide and a regicide?

Or is there something else?

"Father, my mother is a very timid person. How could she do such a treasonous thing?"

The Second Prince glared at Yan Nansheng, "Don't tell me some treacherous villain is whispering something behind my back, trying to frame my mother."

Yan Nansheng looked calm and ignored his provocation.

"Tsk, Eunuch Lai Fu, bring me the imperial edict written by our father." Eunuch Lai Fu hurried to the imperial desk, took out the imperial edict and handed it to Yan Nansheng.

"Hey, I'm busy. Can you please read it to my second brother?" Yan Nansheng continued to crack melon seeds vigorously.

Eunuch Lai Fu unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: My Imperial Consort Xie is of a gentle and kind disposition, dignified and wise. Since entering the palace, she has worked diligently on all matters of the inner court, and is a model of gentleness and kindness, with both virtue and appearance, and has won my heart.

Today, I specially promote Mrs. Xie to the position of Empress, the model mother of the country, and the rightful position of the empress. I hope that she will fulfill her duties in the future, set an example for the harem, and rule the country with me.

My eldest daughter, Yan Nansheng, is intelligent, courageous and talented.

In the past, women went to the northern border for battle and made great achievements in protecting the country and the people. They were as brave as men.

He cares about the world, is loyal to the emperor and filial to his parents, and he is truly my pride.

Today, I confer the title of Crown Princess on Yunnan Sheng, and bestow upon her a golden seal and a golden book. In the future, she must assist me diligently, learn how to govern the country and bring peace to the nation, inherit the throne, and benefit the people.

Admire this. "

When the second prince heard the contents of the imperial edict, his body froze instantly.

Confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort Xie as empress!

The eldest princess of the Warring States Period was named the Crown Princess!

The second prince slumped on the ground, and the fifth prince forgot to cry and stared blankly at Eunuch Lai Fu.

Yan Nansheng brushed off the melon seed crumbs on his hands, picked up the imperial edict and walked up to the second prince, "Second brother, guess when our father wrote this imperial edict."

She put away her cynical smile and looked down at the Second Prince. "My father had already written it on the night I left to support the North."

"Impossible! No! You're talking nonsense!" The second prince roared madly.

Yan Nansheng ignored his loss of composure, walked up to him and whispered in his ear: "You seem to like walking cats and dogs, and you are uneducated, but there is not even a toy for small animals in your room, and you are allergic to cat hair. Even your love is just pretending, aren't you tired?"

At this time in the Yangxin Palace, everyone had their own thoughts.

Concubine Shu stood aside, her face as pale as paper, thinking about how to deal with this difficult situation.

Yan Nansheng looked calm, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

The emperor leaned back on the bed, his eyes wandering over everyone, feeling mixed emotions.

The fighting in the harem never stops, and this poisoning incident made him see the true colors of many people.

Looking at his daughter, he felt that this was a blessing in disguise.

Lai Fu just whispered to himself that Sheng'er appeared beside him less than an incense stick of time after she received the message.

Sheng'er is a girl who appears cold on the outside but is actually warm-hearted. She still cares about her father.

Yan Nansheng had his own plans for all this.

The palace is full of twists and turns, and everyone may be hiding unknown secrets.

And since she was named the Crown Princess by her father, she must stand firm in this complicated situation.

Although she had suspicions about Concubine Shu, there was currently insufficient evidence.

She saw through the Second Prince's disguise, but was there any other force involved behind this?

Mo Qing hurried back with the melon seeds. When he saw the scene in the hall, he paused slightly. Then he put the melon seeds on the table in front of Yan Nansheng, and then walked aside silently.

Night Owl was still guarding outside the door with a serious expression.

Dark clouds began to gather above the palace, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
