Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Yan Nansheng sat back on the chaise longue, eating some melon seeds. He seemed leisurely, but his brain was actually working rapidly.

In this palace, every look and every word may contain hidden meanings.

Yan Nansheng began to recall the previous details, trying to find some overlooked clues.

The connections of Concubine Shu in the palace and the whereabouts of the Second Prince on weekdays, these seemingly insignificant things may all become the key to solving the mystery.

After experiencing the poisoning incident, the emperor became more suspicious of the people around him. He looked at Yan Nansheng, feeling both relieved and worried.

She was pleased with her daughter's intelligence, but worried that she might be in danger in the complicated court struggle.

Yan Nansheng decided to start the investigation from the palace maids around Concubine Shu.

"Mo Qing, come here."

"Go check on the senior maidservant beside Concubine Shu."

Mo Qing took the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing in the corridor of the palace.

At the same time, the second prince was also planning something in his mind. He was unwilling to lose the throne that he might have obtained.

My father has few children. Among the adult princes, the eldest brother is cowardly and incompetent. Only the third brother is the queen's legitimate son and has some means. Although he has Prime Minister Jiang behind him, there is no promising younger generation in the Jiang family except Prime Minister Jiang who is about to be buried.

As long as Prime Minister Jiang fell, the Queen had been deposed and banished to the cold palace, and the Third Prince would be like a baby who had not been weaned. He could crush him to death with just a little effort.

As for how to overthrow Prime Minister Jiang, he looked up at Yan Nansheng who was drinking tea leisurely.

Isn't there a royal sister who is good at fighting and conquering? What kind of royal princess is this? How can a woman be the emperor?

He didn't believe that his suddenly appearing sister could gain legitimacy in the end.

As long as he can survive, the throne will still be his in the end. Let them fight each other and you can just pretend to be innocent and watch the show.

A hint of viciousness flashed in the second prince's eyes from time to time.

Could it be that the poison was really administered by my mother?

My mother is confused...

If it is found out, all my efforts will be in vain.

Even though this matter was done in a foolish way, it would be fine if it succeeded. However, the current situation clearly shows that it failed.

I can only pray that my mother does things cleanly so that my imperial sister and father can't find out.

The Fifth Prince clung to Concubine Shu tightly, frightened by the sudden change and not knowing what to do.

The Yangxin Palace fell into silence again, with only the sound of people breathing softly.

As the investigation deepened, some clues began to emerge.

Mo Qing looked at the evidence in his hands and the results of the investigation by his subordinates, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

He brought these things into the Yangxin Palace, and everyone's eyes instantly fell on him. He was not afraid at all, and walked to Yan Nansheng and handed all the things to her.

After Yan Nansheng opened it, he took out the letter, read it quickly, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

During this time, she frequently glanced at the emperor who was lying on the bed watching the show.

The emperor was so frightened by the sight of him.

Concubine Shu had frequent contact with a mysterious imperial physician, and the physician's whereabouts were mysterious a few days before the emperor was poisoned...

Yo~ Found it, it’s the eldest brother.

It turned out that Prime Minister Jiang hid him in the palace and even wanted to use Concubine Shu to kill him with a borrowed knife.

When the emperor dies, Concubine Shu and the second prince will be accused of poisoning the emperor and plotting a rebellion. The world will belong to the third prince, and the third prince is too dependent on Prime Minister Jiang...

This old guy wants to be the fisherman!

She walked to the bed with the letter and handed it to the emperor, "Father, please control your emotions. Here."

The emperor took it and read it, and he became furious.

But remembering his daughter's instructions just now, he took a deep breath and dissipated some of the anger in his heart.

He ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

The people in the palace were suddenly in a panic, and all forces were watching secretly.

Concubine Shu realized that something was wrong and began to try to find ways to excuse herself.

Concubine Shu raised her head slightly, tears in her eyes, biting her lower lip and said, "Your Highness, you are so aggressive, are you trying to gain merit in front of His Majesty by using this unfounded charge?"

Yan Nansheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he casually threw the melon seeds in his hand into the exquisite plate beside him, making a crisp sound.

"Your Highness, what you said is really interesting. I just want to find the real culprit who poisoned my father. How can you be considered aggressive? Your Highness, you are so eager to defend yourself. It seems that you are guilty."

Concubine Shu's face changed slightly, and then she returned to her pitiful appearance, "Princess, please don't slander me. I am upright and honest, and I am not afraid of being investigated. But the people in the harem are treacherous, Princess, please don't let others take advantage of you without knowing it."

Yan Nansheng stood up and slowly walked towards Concubine Shu, her skirt swaying gently with her steps.

"Oh? Being used by someone? I'm curious, who in the harem is so bold as to use me? Your Majesty, why don't you tell me?"

Concubine Shu's eyes flickered as she avoided Yan Nansheng's gaze. "I just said it casually. Your Highness, why do you have to take it so seriously? The affairs of the palace are complicated. Your Highness, the princess has been away from home for many years. I'm afraid there are some things that you don't understand."

Yan Nansheng sneered, "Isn't this palace clear? Although I'm away on a campaign, I know a thing or two about the dirty things going on in this palace. Your Majesty, don't forget that I'm the Crown Princess now. I'll get to the bottom of some things."

Concubine Shu was startled, and her fingers unconsciously twisted her handkerchief tightly. "Your Highness is now the Crown Princess, so you must be capable. But in this harem, harmony has always been the most important thing. Your Highness is mobilizing so many troops, I'm afraid it will disturb His Majesty's peace."

Yan Nansheng leaned closer to Concubine Shu and lowered her voice to say, "Are you threatening me? Are you disturbing my father's peace? I think the one who really disturbed my father's peace is the one who poisoned him. Tell me, if I find evidence, what will you do?"

Concubine Shu's body trembled slightly, and she pretended to be calm and said, "If Your Highness can really find evidence, I am willing to be punished. But if Your Highness has wronged me, I am afraid that Your Highness cannot bear the charge of slandering the concubines in the harem."

Yan Nansheng stood up and laughed loudly, "Okay, I'll wait and see how Your Majesty is willing to accept the punishment. But before that, Your Majesty should think carefully about how to explain your relationship with the mysterious doctor."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale. "I don't know the imperial physician that Her Royal Highness is talking about. Someone must have deliberately framed me to sow discord between me and Her Royal Highness."

Yan Nansheng crossed her arms and looked at Concubine Shu with sharp eyes. "Whether it is a frame-up or not, I will find out. Your Majesty, there is no need to deny it in a hurry. The truth will be revealed to the world sooner or later."

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said no more words, but her eyes revealed a hint of resentment.

Yan Nansheng turned around and returned to his seat, picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and no longer looked at Concubine Shu.
