It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

The moment she heard this, the queen felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't breathe. She grabbed Yuan Buwei's arm with her backhand and wanted to speak, but no sound came out of her mouth.

Seeing this, Yuan Buwei quickly took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the queen's chest: "You can't be too excited. Excitement will be bad for the baby in your belly."

"child?"

The queen gradually calmed down and stared at Deng Rong: "Deng Rong, tell me again, what is the relationship between you and me?"

"Empress, you told me to do all this. You said that if I didn't obey you, you would kill all my family members." Deng Rong trembled, and his arrogant look just now disappeared. "Your Majesty, I had no choice but to do this."

"Your Majesty, Deng Rong is flexible, but I suggest that it is better for the Queen to give birth to the child. If the child is lost now, it would be bad if the child born is yours. Anyway, Madam Lu is here, she will definitely help the Queen keep the baby."

Princess Jinghe is really good at taking on tasks for herself.

Yuan Buwei could only accept her fate: "As long as the emperor agrees, I will do my best to protect the baby in the queen's belly."

Princess Jinghe said this because she understood the emperor's character.

If he encounters betrayal and deception, he will not willingly give up the knife, as that would give the bad guys an advantage. He will think about this matter repeatedly in the future.

Therefore, when dealing with people who betrayed and deceived him, he would choose to make their lives worse than death.

"Okay, pass on my decree. From today on, the Queen will be confined to Fengyi Palace. No one is allowed to visit her until she gives birth safely. Without my consent, no one is allowed to visit the Queen." After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the Crown Prince. He now began to doubt whether the Crown Prince was his blood. "Also, the Crown Prince was disrespectful in front of the palace and is confined for three months."

"Father, Father, I can put you under house arrest, but I beg you to let mother go. She must have been bewitched by Deng Rong. She is innocent." The prince kowtowed repeatedly, and the crown princess beside him did the same. They kowtowed until they burst into tears, their faces full of fear.

"If you plead for her, your fate will be even worse than hers."

"father……"

The prince shuddered, but dared not speak again.

The emperor looked at Deng Rong again, and seeing his flattering face, he snorted and laughed: "Commander Luan, I will leave Deng Rong to you. You must interrogate him thoroughly for me."

Deng Rong was stunned, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this humble servant."

"Drag down."

Luan Fengyu did not give Deng Rong any chance to explain himself. With a command, his subordinates dragged Deng Rong away, leaving only a long trail of blood on the ground.

"Jinghe."

Princess Jinghe walked up to the emperor and looked at him with a smile: "Brother, is there anything I can tell you?"

"When did you know about this?"

Princess Jinghe knew he would ask this question and sighed, "I knew it three years ago. I wanted to collect more evidence. I didn't need you to be in love with the queen, and I couldn't slander the queen. But then I fell ill, and I was sick for three years."

Others may not understand what Princess Jinghe said, but the emperor can.

The emperor closed his eyes. If Deng Rong had been brought to justice three years ago, the queen would never have become pregnant.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"Jinghe, I'll leave the things here to you. I have a headache now, so I need to go back and rest."

"Farewell, my brother."

You see, no matter how fiercely she and the emperor fought and how much hatred they had for each other, when something happened, she, the imperial sister, was the only one who stood by him wholeheartedly.

As soon as the emperor left, the atmosphere in the palace did not improve, but became even more depressing.

"Aunt Jinghe..."

"Don't call me Auntie, Your Highness, you can take your Crown Princess back to the East Palace now."

"But……"

"At least your mother is safe now, her life is not in danger." Princess Jinghe interrupted the prince again and looked at him coldly.

The Crown Prince was speechless after being stared at by Princess Jinghe. He could only stagger to his feet and leave with the Crown Princess supporting each other.

"Ah."

"What are you laughing at, Queen?" Princess Jinghe looked at the sneering Queen, "Do you know what the biggest mistake you made is?"

"I am not interested in listening to your lectures."

"That is not up to the Queen." Princess Jinghe smiled and walked to the Queen. "The biggest mistake you made is that you believed men's words too easily. You believed Deng Rong's words and the Emperor's words."

"Nonsense, how could I possibly..."

"You don't care about identity and status, you just want to be with the one you love for the rest of your life. You should know that the condition for being together for a lifetime is to have enough food and clothing, and even the family's wealth should be enough for at least three generations to worry about. Only then can you have many children and grandchildren and live a happy life. In addition, during your lifetime, the country is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment. You don't realize that everything you want is so unreal. The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards. How can you guarantee that Deng Rong will be devoted to you when you are old and ugly? Not to mention, he has been lying to you from the beginning."

"You have been deceived by men, haven't you? And you still blame me?" The Queen laughed repeatedly, "Jinghe, you are just struggling to survive now. The Emperor will punish you next."

"Then let him come. I failed once, and I won't fail again." Princess Jinghe also laughed, "And do you think I care about that little bit of status?"

"What else? You live an extravagant life and spend money without restraint. The daily income from your house can support the expenses of an ordinary village for several years..."

"What I squandered was all earned by myself. I can spend it however I want. As for you? Putting aside your identity, status, and money, what do you have left?" Princess Jinghe sighed and pointed at her belly and laughed, "A child? So what if you gave birth to a prince? And you just said that the prince that my brother likes is not your son."

Princess Jinghe grabbed the queen's chin and forced her to look at her: "Let me guess, who is this person?"

The queen snorted and spit at Princess Jing and said, "You are dreaming."

When the two were on the verge of a fight, Yuan Buwei fell into deep thought, recalling her past life.

Although she died early, because of Jiang Weiming's position, she knew many things that others did not know.

In her previous life, she also suspected that the prince was a target, and now the queen said it herself.

So who is this candidate for the crown prince that the emperor truly favors?

The fifth prince, Prince Liang, is impossible, and the sixth prince, Prince Wen, is an invisible man wherever he goes.

Then the only one left is... the second prince, Prince Li.

However, Prince Li has always been good at being a human being but not good at government affairs, and he has never made any outstanding achievements.

Or is he hiding his incompetence?

"Bu Wei."

"what?"

Yuan Buwei came back to her senses and met Princess Jinghe's unhappy look: "You called me?"
