It was already late at night when Xie Guimo returned to Prince Jingyang's Mansion.

The room was brightly lit. Xie Guimo walked in and saw Shen Tang leaning against a large pillow. He asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"

How could she sleep at such an exciting time? Even if Xie Guimo came back at dawn, she would wait until dawn.

Shen Tang looked impatient, "Is everything going smoothly?"

Xie Guimo sat down beside the bed. "Noble Concubine Ye has been banished to the cold palace, and Prince Yu is on his way to raid the Marquis of Changping's mansion."

Very popular!

Shen Tang had been looking forward to this day since the day she was reborn. Finally, she waited for it and felt relaxed all over.

It's a pity that she is still in confinement and cannot go out, otherwise she would definitely go to the palace in person to see how Concubine Ye's evil deeds were exposed and how she was condemned to eternal damnation by the Emperor.

After hearing the result, Shen Tang felt relieved, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and yawned continuously. Xie Guimo said, "Go to sleep first. I'll take a shower and come back soon."

Shen Tang really couldn't bear it anymore. Since Xie Guimo didn't want to sleep in bed, she went to sleep on her own first.

Xie Guimo went to the bathroom and took a shower. When he came back, Shen Tang was already asleep. He glanced at the small couch and decisively chose to go to bed.

But he soon regretted it. Shen Tang was sleeping soundly, leaning into his arms. He hadn't touched Shen Tang for more than three months. God knew how hard it was for him to endure. Thinking that he had to endure it for another month, his eyes were full of resentment.

On this side, Xie Guimo hugged Shen Tang and fell asleep quickly. On the other side, Prince Yu was working hard. He led people to surround the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, no, the Earl of Changping's Mansion.

However, Prince Yu enjoyed it. Confiscating property was a lucrative job that others could not even hope for. But Xie Guimo was different. He would rather go home to accompany the Crown Princess and leave this task to him.

He had been fighting with the King of Qi for so many years, and he had no interest in raiding other people's houses, but the King of Yu had the best chance to take over the Changping Marquis's Mansion.

The personal guards lit torches, illuminating the Changping Marquis's mansion as bright as day.

Changping Bo was awakened from his sleep by the sound of banging on the door. The maid told him that Prince Yu had brought people to search the house. Changping Bo thought he was dreaming. When he went out, he saw Prince Yu and his men outside the door. Changping Bo's face was pale.

The Changping Earl's Mansion was wealthy and powerful, with countless rare treasures in its warehouses. The house was searched until dawn, and Prince Yu did not even have time to attend the morning court.

Prince Yu, “…”

No wonder Xie Guimo threw this task to him, it is really tiring.

Looking at the things that were constantly being moved out of the warehouse of the Earl of Changping, Prince Yu selected some, had them packed into boxes, and sent to the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion to Xie Guimo.

The person didn't come, but the benefits could not be missed. Without Xie Guimo's help, he didn't know when he would be able to overthrow the King of Qi. No, it was not certain whether he could overthrow the King of Qi.

The Taoist priest said that he would enshrine the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingyang, and he dared not forget it for a single day.

Prince Yu ordered eight large boxes to be packed in one breath, and then the corners of his mouth and eyes twitched. If anyone were to talk about a smart person, it would have to be Xie Guimo. There was no need to worry. If Xie Guimo had come to search the house himself, he probably wouldn't have taken so much.

As for the civil and military officials, no minister knew what happened in the palace at night, but at dawn, those who were well-informed knew it. When they learned that Prince Yu had brought the emperor's personal guards to raid the Changping Marquis's mansion overnight, the Prince of Qi's party received the news and were frightened on the spot.

The Prince of Yu's party wanted to know what had happened, so they went to the palace in advance to gather information, and the Prince of Qi's party became even more panicked.

Civil and military officials arrived two quarters of an hour earlier than usual and gathered outside the council hall, whispering and discussing.

However, there were also some who did not arrive early, such as the prince, old prince Ning, Marquis Pingyuan and others, who arrived at their leisurely pace, just like usual.

Prince Yu was still in the Changping Marquis's Mansion. Prince Yu's party wanted to find anyone to ask, but couldn't find anyone. They couldn't ask the Queen, as they couldn't enter the important harem. Prince Qi's party also couldn't find anyone to ask. Prince Qi did enter the palace, but he went to Changchun Palace. The palace people didn't know what had happened. They only knew that Concubine Ye had angered the Emperor and was banished to the cold palace.

The King of Qi was trembling with fear, wondering if his mother had committed regicide.

But if they wanted to kill the king, not only would the Changping Marquis's mansion be searched overnight, but he would not be spared either.

What happened? !

The King of Qi could only go to the cold palace to ask Concubine Ye.

The emperor usually goes to bed early. Last night, he was invited by Xie Guimo and Prince Yu to watch the excitement in Changchun Palace, so he returned to Hanyuan Palace very late. In addition, the emperor was angry because he had been deceived for twenty years and could not fall asleep for a long time.

If you go to bed late, you will get up late. The emperor was angry, and Eunuch Xi did not dare to wake him up, so he sent someone to the Council Hall to tell him that the emperor went to bed late last night and it might take another half an hour before he could attend the morning court, so he asked all the ministers to wait patiently.

After half an hour, the emperor still hadn't gotten up, so Eunuch Xi stepped forward to call the emperor to get up. There were so many ministers, and he couldn't keep them waiting. He had already called the emperor half an hour late, and the emperor couldn't be angry with him.

The emperor woke up with a slight headache, but still went to court.

Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, all the civil and military officials became even more worried.

Although there were many civil and military officials in the court, few dared to ask questions to the emperor when he was angry.

Old Prince Ning asked everyone's puzzlement, "What happened in the palace yesterday? Why was Concubine Ye banished to the cold palace, and why was the Changping Earl's mansion raided overnight?"

The Emperor said, "More than twenty years ago, Concubine Ye murdered General Ye's daughter, impersonated her and entered the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and then entered the palace."

There was a deathly silence in the Council Hall.

Everyone was shocked by the news.

Concubine Ye was not the niece of the Duke of Zhenguo, and was even the murderer of the Duke of Zhenguo's niece...

However, this happened more than 20 years ago, and it was still found out. I don’t know who did it, but they are really capable.

But the emperor doted on Concubine Ye, and so many years had passed since the incident, so the emperor could suppress it even if he wanted to. He did not banish Concubine Ye to the cold palace, and he did not raid the Changping Marquis's mansion overnight.

The ministers looked at each other, feeling that things might not be that simple.

Then the emperor continued, "Noble Consort Ye and the Earl of Changping poisoned the Duke of Zhenguo and his son, as well as Princess Jingyang, causing them to die tragically on the battlefield."

Gasps came one after another.

They all knew that Princess Jingyang had been poisoned for ten years and almost died from the poison, but they did not expect that it was Concubine Ye who poisoned Princess Jingyang. Even the death of Duke Zhenguo and his son on the battlefield was the work of Concubine Ye and Earl Changping.

The Duke of Zhenguo was a brave and skilled warrior. His death on the battlefield was a huge loss to the Great Qi. Several cities were lost in a row. Prince Jingyang led his troops to fight for several months before they were able to recapture the cities.

No wonder the emperor was so angry that he wanted to raid the Changping Marquis's mansion overnight. They were filled with indignation just by listening to it. Such a cruel and ruthless person would never be relieved unless he was cut into pieces.

Prince Yu's party sympathized with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and invited a wolf into the house, but Concubine Ye and the Earl of Changping committed such a crime and were doomed to death. Prince Qi himself could not save himself and had no chance to compete with Prince Yu for the position of crown prince.

The Qi Wang's party members were so scared that they wanted to hit the target with their legs. If they knew that Concubine Ye was a fake and that the father and son of the Duke of Zhenguo were killed by Concubine Ye, they would never support the Qi Wang even if they were beaten to death, and would never seek the merit of following the dragon.

When the nest is overturned, all the eggs are broken. They are finished.
