The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Although Emperor Xuanwu was bedridden, he had heard something about what happened in Xianfu Palace.

Annoyance was evident in his deep eyes: "Xian Fei is so bold that she deceived me for over twenty years. She deserves death!

The ninth prince turned out to be the queen's son, and the crown prince became his brother from the same mother.

Qin Wuyi, will Lao Jiu snatch the throne? "

"Your Majesty, it shouldn't happen!"

"No, I must issue an edict. If anything happens to me, the Crown Prince will ascend the throne directly."

After he finished speaking, he ordered Qin Wuyi to draft an imperial edict.

…………

On this day, the Queen sent Nanny Yu to invite Leng Jiuyuan and Ye Qingyan.

When they arrived at Fengning Palace, they saw the queen wearing a lake blue satin palace dress embroidered with lotus patterns. She had a phoenix hairpin in her hair, decorated with several dark-patterned pearl flowers, and was sitting upright on a soft couch.

The two of them greeted each other: "Your son greets your mother!"

"Xiao Qi greets the Queen!"

The smile on the queen's face was like peach blossoms in March. "I have been busy these past few days, but today I have time to treat you to a meal. I must thank you very much."

"You're welcome, Your Majesty." Ye Qingyan said.

When the queen saw the plum blossom hairpin on Ye Qingyan's head, she sent people to investigate.

I know that Xiaoqi moved next door to Prince Zhan’s Mansion and has a close relationship with Leng Jiuyuan.

Before, the Queen did not care much about Leng Jiuyuan's marriage because he was the son of Concubine Xian. But now the situation is different, Leng Jiuyuan is her own son.

Her voice was choked with sobs: "Jiuyuan, I only recently found out that you are my son.

After giving birth to you, your mother fell into a coma. Later, the Queen Mother said that the boy stopped breathing at birth.

The Queen Mother believed it, but she never expected that the Concubine Xian would tell the truth of that year. Only then did she know that the child she gave birth to was not dead, but was stolen by the Concubine Xian.

Your mother feels guilty for giving birth to you but not taking good care of you."

After the queen finished speaking, tears filled her eyes. As she blinked, tears rolled down her cheeks, and every tear expressed the sorrow in her heart.

Ye Qingyan advised: "My Lady, you can't be blamed for this. You don't even know the existence of Jiuyuan."

Leng Jiuyuan's face was cold, "Mother, you have always cared about me."

The Queen nodded and said, "Jiuyuan, the children of people your age are already five or six years old.

Now I still haven’t seen the real Princess Qingyan. My son can’t wait for her forever, so the marriage is over.

"My Queen Mother thinks Xiao Qi is quite good. How about issuing an imperial decree to grant Xiao Qi to you as your principal wife? What do you think?"

Leng Jiuyuan didn't want to hide it from his mother, so he spoke directly: "Mother, I have known Xiao Qi for five or six years. She is Ye Qingyan, the princess of Zhennan Palace.

At that time, I was poisoned and encountered an assassin. It was she who saved me.

I have never mentioned this matter to anyone else, and Xiaoqi does not want to recognize his parents from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

After all, she was thrown into the countryside when she was three days old and left alone, living a life worse than a maid's."

Ye Qingyan just smiled bitterly.

The Queen sighed and said, "Alas, you are also a miserable child. No one loves you since childhood. From now on, I will treat you like my own daughter.

Come, bring me my newly acquired golden phoenix headpiece inlaid with gems, and the pair of phoenix hairpins, and give them both to my future daughter-in-law."

Ye Qingyan was completely bewildered. The Queen's change was too quick.

She quickly refused: "My Lady, these gifts are too valuable. Xiao Qi cannot accept them."

The Queen's eyes were as gentle as ever, with a face full of kindness: "Xiao Qi, you must not offend me."

Ye Qingyan also knew when to advance and retreat, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Queen!"

Chu Linlang nodded with satisfaction: "Jiuyuan, the Queen Mother has some shops, and your royal brother will become emperor in the future, and he will own the country.

These shops are all given to you, enough to keep you well-fed and well-clothed."

Nanny Yu brought a box and opened it, revealing a thick stack of house deeds and land deeds.

Leng Jiuyuan took a look and said hurriedly: "Mother, these are too much, I can't accept them."

Chu Linlang smiled and said, "Jiuyuan, your royal brother has power, but you need money, do you understand?"

Leng Jiuyuan was not stupid either. The queen's implication was that the throne of the emperor belonged to the prince. This was an ironclad fact that could not be questioned.

What she could give her son was money, and these shops brought in considerable income every year.

"Mother, my brother the Crown Prince has ascended to a high position, and I will definitely protect the country for him." Leng Jiuyuan promised.

The Queen's face was filled with a knowing smile: "Good!

You two are a perfect match. The Queen Mother has ordered a few side dishes to be prepared. Please accompany her for dinner."

Ye Qingyan teased: "Then Xiaoqi is in for a treat."

"As long as you don't mind!" the queen joked.

Several people went to another room together.

There was a rich feast on the table, and Leng Jiuyuan kept picking up food for Ye Qingyan: "Xiao Qi, this tastes good, eat more."

"Xiao Qi, try this dish. It's better than anything the chef at Zuixianlou makes."

"Xiao Qi..." Leng Jiuyuan didn't eat many bites and just focused on picking up some food for Ye Qingyan.

After they finished eating, the Empress asked tentatively, "Xiao Qi, can you show the Emperor that he has been seriously ill ever since his private vault was robbed and his head was shaved bald?

I can't bear to see him lying on the sickbed, so I hope you can lend a hand."

The Queen's words were sincere, and Ye Qingyan couldn't refuse: "Your Majesty, I'll go over and take a look later."

The Empress continued, "Jiuyuan, ever since you took the tiger talisman, your father has dreamed many times of you stabbing him with a sword, killing him.

He dreamed that you led your troops to attack the imperial city, forced the emperor to abdicate, killed your brother and father, and then ascended the throne..."

Leng Jiuyuan also learned these words from the eunuch Qin Wuyi. Emperor Xuanwu was suspicious by nature and took dreams as facts.

Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan looked at each other and reached a consensus.

After dinner, the queen took the two of them to Emperor Xuancheng's bedroom.

Qin Wuyi felt a little frightened when he saw the War King coming.

The smoke of frankincense wafted through the hall, and even the emperor's haggard face was covered with a thin layer of smoke.

"My son has met my father!"

Emperor Xuancheng turned his head and said in a low voice, "Why are you here? I didn't summon you, yet you dared to break into my bedroom? Are you trying to force me to abdicate? The throne will always belong to the crown prince!"

Leng Jiuyuan was completely speechless, his face was cold.

The Empress hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, Jiuyuan has brought the genius doctor Xiaoqi here to see you."

Hearing this, Leng Aotian's mood stabilized a little. He looked Ye Qingyan up and down: "I didn't expect that Xiao Qi is actually a little girl."

Ye Qingyan said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Xiaoqi has offended you."

She began to activate her ghost pupils and placed her hand on Emperor Xuancheng's pulse.

For a long time, she looked helpless and kept shaking her head.

After taking the pulse, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please eat whatever you can from now on!"
