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

"I have called you several times, what are you thinking about?" Princess Jinghe said unhappily.

"Uh... I was thinking about something..." Yuan Buwei said, her eyes fell on the queen, "The queen just said that the emperor's best candidate for the crown prince is not the current crown prince. I was wondering, who would it be?"

"Oh?" Princess Jinghe raised her eyebrows, "You know?"

Yuan Buwei shook her head: "It's just a guess."

"tell me the story."

"Are you sure you want me to say it here?" Yuan Buwei was a little surprised. Princess Jinghe was no longer pretending and was completely exposing herself?

"The biggest secret in the palace has been exposed. Even if the emperor knows it, it is..." Princess Jinghe smiled and looked at the queen. "It was the queen who brought it up first, so naturally she would be the first one to be suspected."

"Jinghe, you are despicable!"

"I am mean?" Princess Jinghe seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She raised her head and laughed for a long time before wiping away the tears from her laughter and said, "Queen, you keep saying that you don't love the emperor, but you have enjoyed many privileges over the years, and you even helped him deal with me. In other words, you enjoy the privileges brought to you by the emperor and the love brought to you by Deng Rong. You are just a selfish woman. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

"I don't. I've always loved Deng Rong."

"So, if you don't love the emperor, why did you stir up fights among the concubines and harm the heirs? How many of them came to the palace voluntarily? They finally got pregnant and thought their lives would be better, but you ruined their lives." Jinghe grabbed the queen's neck and said viciously, "If you have the guts, you should rush to the emperor. Why hurt these innocent people?"

"No, no, I didn't hurt them. They were just cheap and unsatisfied." The queen's eyes flickered, and her explanation was so pale and powerless.

"It's you who are cheap and ungrateful!"

Princess Jinghe's words were like an invisible slap in the face of the Queen: "Zi Huizhen, you are doing it, and God is watching. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come yet. Now you have to bear the retribution for everything you did!"

The queen trembled all over and collapsed to the ground, her eyes suddenly losing their luster: "No, it's not like that..."

"Empress, you must not get too excited right now, otherwise it will be bad for the baby in your belly." Yuan Buwei walked up to her and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Envoy Deng will definitely be doomed this time, and his family will also suffer. The baby in your belly may be his only blood, so for his sake, you must take good care of yourself."

Princess Jinghe laughed when she heard this. Yuan Buwei, this girl, spoke in a soft voice, but every word she said pierced the Queen's heart.

It's perfect for her taste.

"Yuan Buwei, please... help me. I cannot give birth to this child." The Queen held Yuan Buwei's hand. "Please help me, okay?"

"I cannot make the decision on this matter unless the emperor gives the order. Otherwise, the baby in your belly will not be saved and I will also suffer." Yuan Buwei shook her head and slowly pulled the queen's hand down.

"Jinghe, I, I admit that I once wanted to use the baby in my belly to frame you, but I didn't want this child to be born from the beginning to the end, Jinghe..." At this moment, the queen was no longer as dignified and generous as before. She clasped her hands together, knelt on the ground and begged non-stop, "Jinghe, please think of a way, help me, I really can't give birth to this child."

"Queen, if you remove the baby now, you will most likely die from heavy bleeding. If you wait until the baby is full-term, you may still have a chance of survival."

"Big... No, didn't the imperial physician say that my baby..."

"How could the imperial physician tell you the truth? If he did, would you let them go?" Princess Jinghe snorted coldly, "The queen is so naive. No wonder she was fooled by Deng Rong's sweet words."

"But when this child was born, he...he was also despised by others."

"The child is innocent. I believe the emperor has the final say." Yuan Buwei helped the queen up from the ground. "At least the emperor has not deprived you of your title, but has only confined you to your home. This shows that there is still room for maneuver."

These words were purely to comfort the Queen.

The emperor cared most about his reputation and wanted to let all officials and the people of the world know that the queen had been having an affair with a minister behind his back and was pregnant with the other minister's child.

This is a great humiliation for any man.

What's more, he is the emperor.

Therefore, he could only put the queen under house arrest. Once her title was taken away, coupled with the capture of Deng Rong, smart people would immediately associate the two with each other.

As for the Queen being under house arrest, everyone would only think that the Queen pleaded for Deng Rong and angered the Emperor.

It was already afternoon when we came out of Fengyi Palace.

Princess Jinghe looked at the blue sky and white clouds and let out a breath of foul air: "After so many years, I finally let go of this bad breath. By the way, Bu Wei, you just said who is the candidate for the crown prince that the emperor likes?"

"I guess it's the second prince, Prince Li." Yuan Buwei explained her reasons.

Princess Jinghe nodded: "That's true, but Prince Li is not what he seems. He is just as cunning as the Crown Prince. Speaking of the Crown Prince, I need to add fuel to the fire and prevent him from turning over."

Just five days after the crown prince was imprisoned, memorials impeaching him floated onto the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

Among them, there were memorials impeaching Prince Liang.

After all, the crown prince was appointed by his own hands, and the emperor is reluctant to take his life now.

So the emperor turned his attention to Prince Liang.

While Prince Liang was still enjoying the pleasure of his own life, his mansion was surrounded by people from the Dali Temple.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Yuan Jinse, who was not even dressed properly, hurried out, but only saw the carriage leaving in the dust.

She had a sinister feeling in her heart.

I feel like Prince Liang may never come back after this trip.

She didn't dare to think any further, so she returned home, packed up a few valuables, and fled that night.

Jiang Weiming has been extremely worried these days because the prince has been under house arrest.

In the Ministry of Revenue, he has always been cautious and conscientious.

Unexpectedly, when I was on duty today, I was called away by the Minister of Revenue and told that I didn't need to come tomorrow.

I wanted to ask for a reason, but I couldn't get it.

He thought it might be because of the prince's matter, but even worse, he received news that Prince Liang was taken away by the Dali Temple.

For a time, he was extremely confused and did not dare to go home for fear of bringing trouble to his family.

I can only drink alone in my own mansion.

Just then, the servant came in with Yuan Jinse.

"Yuan Jinse, how dare you show up?" Jiang Weiming was worried that he had no place to vent his anger, so he grabbed Yuan Jinse's neck.
