Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

In the early years, the Tong family had outstanding military achievements and their status was higher than that of the Ning family.

The late emperor intended to make the daughter of the Tong family the Crown Princess.

It was just that the prince loved to quarrel with the young lady of the Ning family. As the quarrel went on, the prince ran to beg the empress dowager at that time to replace the crown princess with Ning Ronghe.

But the Tong family still let Tong Mingwei enter the Eastern Palace, and they rode in two sedan chairs for the night. The prince said that he had an argument with the princess and forgot to visit the concubine, and was severely scolded by the queen the next day.

Even so, the Eastern Palace was like there was no concubine Tong Mingwei. The prince ignored her, and the princess felt bored and often looked for Tong Mingwei to play with her as before.

Every time, the prince would ask his servants to call Ning Ronghe away and was too lazy to even look at Tong Mingwei.

This situation continued until the new king ascended the throne. Ning Ronghe naturally became the queen, and Tong Mingwei, who was originally a concubine, could only be a talented woman.

A talented woman was promoted to the second position in the harem, and she thought the emperor was actually quite good to her.

One day, news about the Tong family suddenly came from outside.

Tianxuan and Qianheng were about to fight. Tong Ruilei led 5,000 elite soldiers to fight, but was ambushed by Tianxuan people. Ye Lingche was helping in the military camp at a young age at that time. He led the troops to rescue, only to find that he was counterattacked by the 5,000 elite soldiers.

It turned out that Tong Ruilei was not ambushed at all. On the contrary, he was going to ambush Qian Heng's army.

Many people died in that battle.

It also made the young Ye Lingche realize that Qian Heng's heart was not in harmony.

He sent a message saying that Tong Relei had rebelled, and after checking, the Tong family was gone.

But how could Tong Mingwei believe this? The Tong family was a family of military commanders, and her father and brother taught her martial arts when she was very young.

Just a child saying "treason" can determine the death of their entire family?

Ye Zihu also told her with great understanding that at least the lives of the Tong family's branch outside the imperial city were saved.

Tong Mingwei has always known that the emperor does not love her, and she has accepted it. The only thing she cannot accept is that she has decided to be imprisoned in the palace for life, but Ye Zihu is still unwilling to let her family go.

Since they all rebelled, why didn't she just rebel?

He reconnected with the branch of the Tong family that had returned to the imperial city, and found the prince of Tianxuan.

Constantly plotting against the prince.

He once again sowed discord between Tianxuan and Qianheng, and framed the Tianxuan people for the crime of killing the queen.

The prince had been reorganizing the army for a long time, but a traitor appeared again. That year, a deputy general named Li died while protecting the prince.

Before his death, he asked the prince to help him take care of his family.

When Ye Lingche returned with the news of his death, Lieutenant General Li's wife left her daughter behind and followed her husband.

Everything has a traceable path. Tong Mingwei once thought that if Ye Zihu could look at her a few more times, maybe she would love him like the women in the harem and would not betray her.

Now that things have come to this, Tong Mingwei has no regrets.

"You forced me to do this!" Tong Mingwei continued to struggle, "I'm not wrong!"

Even if I die today, I will drag Ye Zihu down with me!

"It's all Ah He who made me spoil you!"

Ye Zihu was so disappointed, "You killed her, but before she died, she was still trying to persuade me not to let you suffer alone in the deep palace. Of all the princes, only Zhuo'er can come to the palace to see you at any time! I have already given you enough benefits!"

"I don't want the benefits that were bought with the lives of my people!"

"Back then, Tong Ruilei repeatedly petitioned me to send troops to attack Tianxuan. It was his own warmongering nature that prompted me to reject his proposals many times. He refused to accept this and decided to join forces with the people of Tianxuan to provoke a war between the two countries!

Your family deserves it. If you are so reluctant to leave them, then go and accompany them, taking Ye Lingzhuo with you!"

Tong Mingwei looked at Ye Zihu in disbelief:

"Your Majesty, do you no longer want your own bloodline?"

"I know what I should and shouldn't ask for." Ye Zihu snorted coldly and pushed Tong Mingwei away. "He can even lead troops to besiege my palace for you. Does he still have me, his father, in his eyes?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor——"

A female voice familiar to Ye Zihu was heard outside.

Eunuch Su stood up at the right moment and said, "Your Majesty, it must be the Seventh Imperial Concubine you mentioned who has arrived. I will bring her in right away."

"Well, let's go."

Tong Mingwei fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

When did the Seventh Imperial Concubine appear? She didn't even know?

The Seventh Prince...Ye Lingche?

The Ye Zi Fox in front of her was really unfamiliar, or maybe it was because she had never understood Ye Zi Fox before.

Why does the emperor need to report to his concubines what he wants to do?

"Don't you have anything to say?" Ye Zihu looked down at Tong Mingwei condescendingly.

Tong Mingwei, who had been so arrogant just now, lowered her head silently: "A thousand mistakes are all my fault. Please forgive Zhuo'er, Your Majesty. He only did the wrong thing out of filial piety."

"That's really filial piety."

Bai Sui'an just happened to come in, and when he came in, he heard Eunuch Su talk about what had just happened.

She first looked down at Tong Mingwei, politely said "Hello, Your Majesty", and then nodded to Ye Zihu.

Ye Zihu looked Bai Sui'an up and down. Although his hair was messy, he should have cleaned it up before he came. His face was clean, but his body was still covered in blood.

"What's going on outside?" asked Ye Zihu.

Bai Sui'an looked around, found an intact chair and sat down, saying, "I rescued Ling Che and gave him medicine. General Linglong is trying to attack, so I'll come in first to protect you."

"I was almost dying when you came." Ye Zihu pretended to be displeased and turned to ask Eunuch Su to ask the people outside to bring in the prepared food.

Bai Sui'an had no sense of crisis. She could tell how many people were inside by listening to their breathing. If people from outside attacked, she could blow them all up.

He simply took out a fruit from the space and threw it to Ye Zihu. He also ate one to moisten his throat before looking at Tong Mingwei who was sitting on the ground.

"Who is this lady?"

It was also the first time that Tong Mingwei saw someone so bold in front of the emperor.

It was also the first time I saw Ye Zihu being so indulgent towards someone.

Since I was still standing, I let Bai Sui'an sit down first.

Eunuch Su returned and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the meal is ready. Please move to the side hall."

Ye Zihu finally opened his eyes. He glanced at Tong Mingwei with a hint of annoyance and said, "You'd better ask Ling Che's mother's murderer if she did anything to the Tianxuan royal family back then."

As soon as the words "Tianxuan royal family" came out, Tong Mingwei understood that Bai Sui'an was from Tianxuan.

Her expression changed immediately: "Your Majesty has already colluded with the Tianxuan people?"

"What do you mean by collusion? We're family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs. You and my uncle opened Yichun Hall together, spreading your influence across the continent, using the poor people everywhere as test potions, all in order to seize the throne using those despicable means. That's called collusion."

uncle?

"It's you! Happy New Year! You're not dead?"
