The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

The Imperial Concubine continued, "I heard that a strange disease is spreading now, and these pills are extremely precious. I will ask Ling Yuan to deliver the remaining pills in this porcelain bottle to my family in a while, and I hope they are all safe.

In this palace, the situation is ever-changing, and the safety of our family is our last harbor and our only solace in this darkness."

She looked out the window, her eyes revealing her worry for her family. Her gaze passed through the window, as if wanting to fly to her family far away.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess bowed to the Imperial Concubine again, bowing very low and full of respect. She said, "Your Majesty is compassionate and will surely protect my family's health."

At this moment, the sunlight shone through the window onto the two of them, as if bringing a ray of hope to this palace full of conspiracy and crisis, but this ray of hope seemed so weak, as if it would be swallowed up by the darkness at any time.

They all knew that a bigger storm was coming, like the raging waves on the sea, rolling towards them, and its momentum was like that of thousands of troops, unstoppable.

And they must be prepared, like a ship that holds on in a storm. Although swaying in the waves, they still firmly face the unknown challenges, for survival, for their family, and for the only remaining trace of justice in this court, which is their beacon in this darkness.

The Imperial Concubine asked Li Ma to take the Crown Princess downstairs to rest. It happened that the Emperor came to visit the Imperial Concubine after the morning court session.

The emperor had been busy with court affairs these days, and had not set foot in the Chuxiu Palace for several days. He was really worried about the imperial concubine. After the court session that day, he hurried to the Chuxiu Palace despite his fatigue.

In the corridor of the palace, the breeze blew gently, lifting his clothes, as if urging him to move forward. The eunuchs and maids around him saw that the emperor was walking hurriedly, and they all stepped aside respectfully.

The imperial concubine was sitting by the window, deep in thought. The wind outside the window blew her hair. She frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of worry.

When she heard the eunuch announce the emperor's arrival, she was a little surprised. After a moment's pause, she quickly stood up to greet him. She bowed slightly, her skirt spread out like a flower: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor hurried forward to help her up, holding her arms with both hands and looking at her face.

Seeing the fatigue in the Imperial Concubine's eyes, he said with heartache: "My dear, I have been busy with government affairs these days and neglected you. Do you blame me?" His eyes were full of guilt, and he looked at the Imperial Concubine as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

The Imperial Concubine smiled slightly, a smile that seemed a little forced, but her eyes could not hide her worry: "I dare not, I only hope that the emperor is in good health and state affairs are smooth." Her voice was soft, but with a hint of bitterness that was hard to detect.

The emperor took the imperial concubine's hand and walked to the couch and sat down. He noticed that she seemed uneasy, and thought she was worried about Yu Gongyu who was suppressing the rebellion at the border, so he comforted her: "My beloved concubine, don't worry too much. Yu'er is a martial arts expert, and with Ren Jingzhi's assistance, she will definitely return safely.

This quelling of the rebellion is also a good opportunity for him to establish meritorious service. When he returns, I will reward him well. " The emperor's eyes were full of confidence, as if he had already seen the scene of Yu Gongyu's triumphant return.

He patted the Imperial Concubine's hand gently, trying to reassure her.

The Imperial Concubine nodded slightly, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she was about to say something but stopped. She moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

After much hesitation, she decided to tell the Crown Princess what she had told him. She looked at the Emperor with a heavy look in her eyes, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you. The prince... the prince is plotting to usurp the throne." Her voice trembled a little, and every word seemed to be spoken with all her strength.

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned at first, then he coughed violently in anger and his face turned red.

He never thought that his suspicions would come true. He thought he was just being suspicious and didn't investigate the prince's actions, but now...

The emperor's hands trembled slightly, and he was extremely nervous. The current situation in the court was extremely unfavorable to him. The army had already followed Yu Gongyu to the border to quell the rebellion, and the military force in the capital was already empty.

He didn't know whether the Minister of War, Mr. Zhang, was still loyal to him and whether he could truly control the military power. Every possible variable was like a sword hanging over his head, which could fall at any time.

The emperor did not dare to hope that Yu Gongyu and Ren Jingzhi could come back to save him. They had gone to the border but had not sent back any news.

Given Yu Gongyu's ruthless, sinister and vicious character, the emperor couldn't help but worry that both of them had met with an accident.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming towards him like a surging tide, as if the air around him had become thinner, making him a little breathless.

He paced back and forth in the hall, his brows furrowed, and he kept thinking about how to deal with the situation in his mind.

Then, he looked at the Imperial Concubine, "My beloved, you must be careful these few days. Don't let the Crown Prince notice anything unusual."

The Imperial Concubine responded, "I understand. I will be careful and prudent."

At this time, the sun was still shining brightly outside the palace, but the Chuxiu Palace was shrouded in a heavy haze, as if foreshadowing that a bloody storm was about to break out in the palace.

The emperor called Eunuch Defu and whispered to him, "Go, secretly investigate the movements of the ministers in the court, especially those who are close to the prince, and report any news immediately." The eunuch took the order and left in a hurry.

The emperor then said to the imperial concubine, "I need to return to the imperial study and make careful plans. My beloved, while you are in this palace, your own safety is the most important thing." After that, he hurriedly left Chuxiu Palace, leaving the imperial concubine to worry alone.

The Imperial Concubine looked at the Emperor's departing back and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the crisis could be resolved as soon as possible, the palace could return to its former peace, and her son Umiya Tama could return safely.

In the imperial study, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the pile of memorials on the table, but he had no intention of dealing with them. He knew very well that if the prince's usurpation of the throne was not resolved as soon as possible, the country would be in an irreparable situation.

At this critical moment concerning the survival of the dynasty, the emperor frowned and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He called Eunuch Defu, lowered his voice, and ordered seriously: "Defu, go and secretly tell Prime Minister Ren to come to the palace tonight. Remember, don't let the news leak out." Eunuch Defu took the order and left.

At that time, the situation in the court was unclear, and it was not yet known exactly how many ministers had joined the prince's party.

In such a situation, if one wants to discuss countermeasures, one should naturally discuss it with the most reliable and trusted person, and the prime minister is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, misfortunes never come singly. The secret plan they carefully planned last night was leaked to the prince by that hateful Lord Wang.

Because of this, all the loyal people who were sent out to gather information were assassinated. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the emperor's plan, making the already difficult situation even worse.
