After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"Just because he doesn't have that thought doesn't mean others don't have that thought."

The emperor tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes dark and deep.

It seems that none of the young men in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion are obedient. In the past, they were held hostage by military funds, but now that they have silver, it seems that nothing can control them.

Eunuch Li didn't dare to respond, he just lowered his head and poured him a cup of hot tea.

After a long while, the emperor took a sip of tea and asked quietly, "Go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to see Old Seventeen later."

"Yes."

Eunuch Li quickly agreed.

Prince Xian has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice on charges of treason. The emperor is now asking him to visit him, but I'm afraid he has other intentions.

In the Queen's palace, the Third Prince and the Queen had tea together, and the two conspired for a while.

The mother and son mentioned Bai Yaoyao in the cold palace, and the third prince asked, "Mother, did you find out anything from Bai Yaoyao?"

The queen shook her head. "That bitch is very stubborn. No matter what I do, she won't say a word."

Thinking of the situation today, her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred, "It's all the fault of the Zhenguo Mansion. If they hadn't turned against you at the last minute, you wouldn't have been rejected by your father."

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has its own army, and the emperor is already wary of it." The third prince's eyes were cold and his tone was firm, "Just wait and see, their end will not be too good."

"You should be patient these days, and don't interact with the officials in the court unless necessary. These little brats in the harem have their mother here, so they won't be able to cause any trouble one day."

The Queen's expression suddenly turned cold, "When necessary, Mother will eliminate all these troubles for you!"

Without a successor, she didn't believe that the emperor would pass the throne to an outsider!

"My son, I know."

The third prince left after staying for a while, and the queen took Concubine Zhang to the cold palace at night.

The crown prince was deposed, and his men were shot to death by the queen. Bai Yaoyao has not been as comfortable as before these days. She can only eat leftovers, some of which are even slop.

The cold palace was gloomy and there was no charcoal fire in the room. She huddled in the corner of the bed under the quilt, her eyes moving non-stop.

"How could this happen? Isn't the prince the male protagonist of this world? How could he be deposed?"

"No, it must be only temporary. The prince must have a backup plan and will be able to make a comeback in the future!"

The queen couldn't hear her mumbling clearly outside the door, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

"Queen!"

When Bai Yaoyao saw the person coming, she couldn't help but shrink back, her dark eyes filled with vigilance and fear.

She came last night and had someone prick her finger to force her to tell her secret.

But the Third Prince will die at the hands of the Crown Prince sooner or later, so how could she betray the Crown Prince now?

The Queen looked at her with contempt, walked to the round stool in the room and sat down. Concubine Zhang followed behind her and walked forward. Only then did Bai Yaoyao see her face clearly.

"Concubine Zhang? Aren't you dead?!"

Bai Yaoyao screamed in surprise. If there hadn't been a shadow beneath her, she would have thought she had seen a ghost.

“Humph, Bai Yaoyao, you’re not dead, how can I die?” Concubine Zhang’s almond-shaped eyes were full of murderous intent. She stared at Bai Yaoyao intently, “The King of Hell won’t take me. You let me live just to take your life!”

Bai Yaoyao pretended to be calm and said, "You were the one who killed my child first, and the one who killed you was the prince. Why are you seeking revenge against me?"

"What do you think happened to your child?" Concubine Zhang sneered, "The prince knew that I had tampered with his clothes, but he deliberately came to have sex with you every day--"

"No way, you're talking nonsense!"

Bai Yaoyao was very emotional and interrupted her harshly, "You are just jealous that I am pregnant with the prince's child and you are deliberately trying to sow discord between us. I don't believe you!"

"The prince has mysophobia. You have lost your virginity to the emperor. Do you think the prince would want the bastard in your belly?"

Concubine Zhang snorted coldly, "The entire Eastern Palace is the prince's people. If I do something, how could the prince not know? All of this is just allowed by him. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

The maid who used to serve in the laundry room had been executed. She was the evidence. If Bai Yaoyao didn't believe her, there was nothing she could do.

The Queen's brows showed impatience, "That's enough, Bai Yaoyao, I'm going to ask you for the last time, what's your secret?"

Bai Yaoyao's fingers were red and swollen, and her face was pale from the pain. She still clenched her teeth and said, "I am just the daughter of the second house of Yongning Marquis's Mansion. I have caught the prince's eye and gained a little pity from him. What secrets can there be? The queen really thinks highly of me."

The emperor did not take the prince's life even when he was plotting a rebellion. Even if he was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, as the male protagonist of this world, he has the male protagonist's halo to help him, and who knows if he will make a comeback someday.

If she betrays now, how can she ascend to the throne of queen in the future?

The queen was furious. "If you don't cry until you see the coffin, then I will make you feel a life worse than death."

As he said this, he signaled the eunuch beside him to take action.

At this time, the maid beside her hurried over and said, "Empress, the emperor suddenly came to Kunning Palace. Please return to the palace as soon as possible."

"Why is he here?"

The queen didn't care about Bai Yaoyao and immediately rushed back to her bedroom with her people.

When Bai Yaoyao had just entered the palace, the old man would visit her every now and then. Ever since Bai Yaoyao's affair with the prince was exposed by her, he has never set foot in the harem again. Why did he go crazy and come to her palace today?

The emperor sat on the chair and glanced at the queen coldly, "Where have you been at this late hour?"

The queen steadied her breathing, a smile rose on her lips, and she walked to his side, "The green plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are in bloom. I couldn't sleep, so I went to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

The emperor snorted softly, stood up and opened his arms.

The queen unbuttoned his clothes skillfully. The emperor raised his chin, looked down at her, and said bluntly: "The harem is in your charge. You must take good care of my children. If anything happens, I will only hold you responsible!"

The Queen paused for a moment while unbuttoning her clothes, and then she pulled the corners of her lips forcefully, "They all call me mother, and they are all my children. I will naturally take good care of them."

While speaking nice words, she lowered her eyes to hide the viciousness that was about to overflow.

She wondered why this old man suddenly came to her, it turned out he wanted to give her a warning!

After helping the emperor undress, she asked the nanny to bring him a bowl of ginseng soup.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No more drinking, go to sleep."

The queen placed the ginseng soup on the table and said, "Then I will go and make you a bowl of soothing tea."

"No need."

The emperor lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The emperor looked at the teacup beside him, which had not been touched, and his eyes turned cold.

This old guy, is he now on guard against her to the point of not even touching anything she has?

She snorted in her heart, even if he didn't eat her food, how long did he think he could live?
