After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

The ministers realized that something was wrong and retreated one by one.

Qi Didi also followed, but her steps were light-hearted. Her current situation was already difficult, and she had also offended the second prince.

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know where the problem was.

The only person she could think of was Princess Mengnan. Could it be that Princess Mengnan was plotting against her? It seemed that Princess Mengnan should not be underestimated.

Shen Yinzhen cried and grabbed the palace maid in the big tent.

The matter was brought to the attention of the emperor.

Then several people moved the Shura field in front of the emperor. The emperor was not in good health and had not yet fallen asleep. He got dressed and presided over the event.

The emperor frowned and looked at Shen Yinzhen, crying and begging him to make the decision for her.

The second prince knelt on the ground, watching Shen Yinzhen making a fuss, and felt very regretful in his heart. He regretted marrying Shen Yinzhen. Shen Yinzhen did things without considering the decency. If others had helped to cover it up long ago, but Shen Yinzhen had actually disturbed his father.

The emperor was in a gloomy mood, and the queen also came and sat aside, watching. She looked calm on the surface, but in her heart she was happy to see this scene.

The emperor coughed a few times and said, "Yanli, how could you do such a ridiculous thing?"

The Second Prince was speechless, about to speak, when he saw the disappointment in his father's eyes. It seemed that he had no choice but to find a scapegoat. "Father, I don't know what happened. I walked into this tent in a daze." He glared fiercely at the maid who had committed adultery with him. "This lowly maid must have done something to me. She deserves death."

Shen Yinzhen stood up and kicked the maid, "You lowly slave, you dared to try to get close to His Highness? You deserve to die."

The palace maid was kicked hard and fell to the ground. She was not in a hurry and looked at Gu Yanli with a smile. She originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, but she didn't expect Gu Yanli to push her out to block the knife.

However, she had the evidence that Gu Yanli wanted to harm Princess Mengnan. The Second Prince was so ignorant of the choice that she would take him with her even if she died.

The palace maid had a creepy smile on her face, "Second Prince, Meng Nan..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yanli had already realized that Qi Didi might have been plotting against him today. He had forgotten that Qi Didi and Gu Shicheng were on the same page. If he allowed the maid to continue talking, it would only lead to worse consequences and how his father would view him.

He interrupted and said, "Father, I am guilty of this matter. I accept the punishment. As for this palace maid, I am willing to take her into my family."

The emperor sighed and shook his head, touching his forehead with a look of melancholy.

He put his hand down and looked at the Second Prince, saying earnestly, "It was originally just a small matter. If you know you are wrong, you must correct it. As for you, the Princess, you should also be taught a lesson. A husband and wife cannot be of one mind. Such a commotion is truly a disgrace to the royal family."

He looked at Shen Yinzhen seriously, his eyes full of fatigue and dissatisfaction, "Now you are also the prince's consort, not an ordinary citizen. You should know some etiquette. Making such a fuss is really embarrassing."

Shen Yinzhen immediately shut up and dared not speak, but she was still not convinced in her heart.

The Empress, stroking the Emperor's back with concern, said softly, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The Second Prince made a mistake, and he knows it. Please don't let your anger get to you."

The emperor sighed and prepared to leave.

The empress was about to help the emperor leave, but the emperor pushed her hand away and said, "No need, you should leave too."

The queen's face suddenly turned bad, and she forced a smile to welcome the emperor away.

The old eunuch beside him immediately understood, came over to help His Majesty and left.

The emperor was supported by the old eunuch and returned to the tent. He leaned on a huanghuali heartwood couch, one elbow supporting the side of his face, breathing heavily, and his spirits were drooping. He waved to the old eunuch, "Shouchun, how long have you been with me?"

The old eunuch Shouchun slowly walked over. He looked even older than the emperor, his hair already gray. He was in his seventies. He lowered his head and replied, "I can't remember clearly. I only remember that when your majesty was born, your face was red and tender, and you cried loudly. The old emperor was so happy that he held several banquets in a row."

The past flashed back to him, vividly. The emperor felt that he was not feeling well, and a soft light flashed in his eyes. "Shouchun, do you still remember what the prince looked like?"

Shouchun lowered his head. The emperor's question reminded him of the talented and handsome prince, whom he had held in his arms many times, from being so tiny to growing so tall and brave.

I originally thought that Donglai Kingdom had a successor, but all the unexpected happened too quickly. His eyes were red and his head hung even lower. "How could I forget?"

The emperor's eyes reddened as he sighed, "My health is deteriorating day by day. If only the crown prince were still here... Unfortunately, the second and third princes are not suitable candidates. I really can't trust them to hand over Donglai Kingdom to them."

Shouchun took a few steps forward, trying to comfort the emperor.

The emperor seemed to have made a decision and was alert for a moment. "But fortunately, there is still a candidate. The world must be handed over to a wise ruler, so I can feel at ease. However, I feel that I will give birth soon, so I must make preparations as soon as possible. If I leave suddenly, the palace will be in chaos." He turned to look at Shouchun, "Do you know who the candidate I am talking about is?"

Shouchun understood, and with a look that reassured His Majesty, he asked, "Is the candidate Your Majesty is referring to Prince Ding'an?"

The emperor nodded vigorously, "Even you can see that."

Shouchun walked forward, opened the lid of the incense burner, added some agarwood, and after covering it, the smell became stronger and more reassuring.

He stepped forward and stood beside the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest. Don't worry too much. You have Princess Ning'an's medicine to take, and you will surely recover."

The air was filled with the scent of agarwood, and the emperor felt a little tired, so he let Shouchun help him back to the dragon bed to rest.

Over at the Second Prince's, after finishing his business, he couldn't sleep. Shen Yinzhen realized that he had gone too far, but he didn't think he was wrong. He was annoyed at being served and asked to rest.

The second prince stood with his back to the world in the night, with gusts of wind blowing from all around him. His clothes were blown by the wind, and his figure was very long, shrouded in darkness.

A guard beside him asked, "Second Prince, how should we deal with this?"

A sharp, chilling look flashed in the Second Prince's eyes, and he spat out two words, "Kill him."

The maid had been made a concubine and was currently sitting in a large tent in front of a large round bronze mirror. She wiped her face with water, a smile playing on her lips as she muttered, "From now on, I will no longer be your servant, a servant that you can order around. Fortunately... fortunately, I seized this opportunity."

She was very proud and couldn't help but smile. She had made the right bet tonight. As long as she threatened the Second Prince with the fact that he was planning to plot against Princess Mengnan, he would obey her.

She thought to herself that once she entered the prince's mansion and had another child, everything would be different.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard someone's voice outside the door. She was overjoyed. Could it be that the second prince came to see her?

She opened the tent door and the man rushed in. Before she could even scream, he strangled her with a rope. She struggled desperately, "I... I... can... tell... the Second Prince... who... plotted... against... him..."

He strangled the man and refused to let go, saying viciously, "It's too late. Do you really think the Second Prince is so stupid that he doesn't even know who is plotting against him? You, with your status, dare to threaten the prince. You will die."

The palace maid gave up struggling. In the end, she never said that Princess Mengnan and Helan Xuenuo were plotting against the Second Prince, and she didn't intend to say it when she was dying.

Originally, she thought that she just had to hide it and pretend that she was drugged and entered the tent by mistake. As long as she didn't tell it in this life, the Second Prince would not know that she did it on purpose. Anyway, if such a thing happened, he would still make her a concubine.

However, the Second Prince was not what she expected. In front of His Majesty, he wanted her to be a scapegoat and wanted His Majesty to sentence her to death.

And she had committed a death taboo by using this matter to threaten the Second Prince.

I regretted my decision and tears flowed from my eyes.

The palace maid moved her feet back and forth, but gradually she could not move anymore. Her hands holding the rope dropped down, and her feet stopped moving.
