Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

"His Majesty."

Eunuch Wu hurriedly stood up to help him, and couldn't help but glance at the portrait out of the corner of his eye.

He is very handsome, with a feminine appearance, but he looks neither like the emperor nor the empress, nor does he look like anyone in the royal family or the Zhou family. He should not be the second prince.

But the emperor's reaction was so big that Eunuch Wu was a little unsure.

He could clearly hear the emperor's intense heartbeat and heavy breathing, but he knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, so he didn't dare to look too much, let alone ask too many questions.

He quickly lowered his eyes and helped the emperor sit on the chair, then bowed and stepped aside, not daring to breathe.

The emperor didn't pay any attention to Eunuch Wu at this time. His eyes were fixed on the portrait in his hand.

There was disbelief on her face, as if she was crying and laughing at the same time, and then she seemed to be lost in memories, with a dazed expression.

After a long time, he got up and left the imperial study.

Eunuch Wu followed behind him and saw that the emperor's steps were unsteady. He was paying close attention, fearing that the emperor would accidentally fall and he would be in trouble too.

I followed the emperor to Qihua Palace with a worried look on my face.

Qihua Hall was the palace where the emperor lived when he was a prince. After he ascended the throne, he named his biological mother, Concubine Su Zhaoyi, as Empress Dowager Su, and he used Qihua Hall to worship Empress Dowager Su.

The emperor raised his hand to signal Eunuch Wu not to follow him, and walked into the hall himself.

After a while, the palace servants serving in the hall also retreated.

Eunuch Wu was confused. He didn't know why the emperor came to Empress Dowager Su after seeing the portrait of King Jiangbei.

Could it be that the King of Jiangbei is really the second prince and looks like Empress Dowager Su?

Seeing that the emperor had not come out for a long time, Eunuch Wu thought, maybe it was true.

It is rumored that Empress Dowager Su was extremely beautiful, and thus she caught the eye of the late emperor as a palace maid, and made him very happy.

Unfortunately, the beauty was short-lived and died a few years after giving birth to the emperor. However, she died at the time when the late emperor missed her the most, which made the late emperor care more about his son.

This also laid the foundation for the emperor's imperial career.

This guy is really destined to be lucky.

If Empress Dowager Su had lived a few more years, the late emperor might have gotten tired of her, and the emperor might not be the emperor he is today.

Realizing once again that he was thinking about something he shouldn't have, Eunuch Wu secretly pinched his thigh.

I'm so tired of living. My head is hanging on my waist, but I still have the mind to think about other people's fate.

Just as he regained his composure, he saw the emperor coming out with a scroll in his arms and walking towards Fengyi Palace.

When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, everyone was still waiting outside. The emperor slowly unfolded the portrait of Empress Dowager Su in front of the empress's tablet.

This portrait was painted by the late emperor when he was a child and was crying because he missed his mother, but later he was recorded under the name of the empress at that time.

Worried that hanging his biological mother's portrait in the palace would displease the empress, he put it away and only dared to look at it secretly at night.

Later, as he grew up, his longing for his mother gradually faded.

When he succeeded to the throne, the then queen became the queen mother.

In order to show his gratitude to the Empress Dowager for raising him, although he also conferred the title of Empress Dowager on his biological mother and enshrined her in the Qihua Hall, this portrait was never hung up but kept in a dark room in the Qihua Hall.

At this moment, he placed the small portrait of Su Heting next to the portrait of Empress Dowager Su.

Asked the Queen’s spirit tablet, “Look, do they look alike?”

If Eunuch Wu were here, he would definitely scream, "Oh my God, these two people are at least 80% to 90% similar."

If there is any difference, it is the eyes and the difference between men and women.

Unfortunately, Eunuch Wu was guarding outside the door, and the Queen's spirit tablet could not reply to the Emperor's words.

The emperor stroked Su Heting's portrait with his fingers, and answered himself, "Except for the eyes, which are like yours, everything else is very much like his grandmother.

Back then, when I took you to see the portrait of our queen mother, you said that in the future we would also give birth to a little princess who would look as beautiful as our queen mother.

Now, after seeing his appearance, I believe what you said before. He is indeed my child. If he were not my child, he would not look so much like my mother."

He placed his finger on the scar on Su Heting's face, and after a long silence, he continued, "We have a child who looks very much like our mother. Although he is not a princess, I will be happy if he is a prince.

But I threw him into the mountains as soon as he was born. I hoped he would die at that time. Now it is impossible for him to be a loving father and a filial son, but I will take him back to the palace.

You always blamed me before, but if you hadn't had an affair with another man after marriage, how could I suspect that he was not my blood?

It wasn't me, Huiyue, who harmed him. It was you, your unruly mother. You not only harmed him, but also the prince.

You also caused me to take action against my own son. Huiyue, you always said that I would get retribution, but today I see that it is you who will really get retribution.

Haven’t you always wanted to know where he is? When he returns to the palace, will you show up? You definitely will, Huiyue. I’m waiting to see the day you get your retribution…”

Outside Fengyi Palace.

A eunuch secretly looked at the tightly closed palace door, waited for a moment, went around to Qihua Palace, and after coming out of Qihua Palace, went to the Imperial Hospital.

About an hour later, a young imperial physician appeared in front of Liang Shi and told him everything he had learned from the eunuch about the emperor's actions.

These people were all people who had received favors from the prince. Although they did not know that the prince was still alive, they were all holding their breath to avenge the prince.

They were not afraid of life or death, but Liang Shi did not want them to be exposed too early and lose their lives in vain.

After listening to the imperial physician's words, Liang Shi warned, "I understand. You must be careful in your actions."

After the imperial physician left, his brows gradually furrowed.

The news that his master was the Second Prince had been circulating in the capital for quite some time. Although he did not know the details of the situation in the court and the palace, he was able to find out a little.

The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, but why did he go to Empress Dowager Su first today and then stay in Fengyi Palace for a long time?

Does this have anything to do with the master?

Liang Shi pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out the key point, so he decided to report the matter truthfully to his master. His master was smart and should be able to figure out the connection.

However, before he could send the letter, he heard that a large number of imperial guards were suddenly dispatched from the palace.

Having worked as a secret guard in the palace for more than ten years, Liang Shi suddenly realized that something big was going to happen.

So he dressed up and went out to check it out in person.

In the palace, after the emperor came out of Fengyi Palace, he ordered the imperial guards to leave the palace immediately to capture the old imperial physician Du Yingfa.

Old Imperial Physician Du is nearly seventy years old and has long since retired to a ripe old age.

He had been in good health before, but for some reason he suddenly fell ill a few days ago and was carried into the palace by the imperial guards.

The emperor looked at the sickly-looking old man and asked, "Du Yingfa, today I ask you again, was the second prince born prematurely or at full term?"

Du Yingfa was an excellent doctor and enjoyed the emperor's trust. In addition, he had worked in the Imperial Hospital for his entire life and had seen many ups and downs, so he was usually very calm.

Today, he was shaking with fear from the moment the imperial guards arrived at the door. Now, after hearing the emperor's words, he was shaking like a sieve.

The emperor saw him like this and knew what he was talking about. "You lied to me back then. The second prince was born prematurely, but you told me he was born at full term, deliberately confusing the time when the queen was pregnant."

He had trusted this man for decades, but this man had betrayed him a long time ago. He suddenly fell ill a few days ago because he learned that the second prince was still alive. He was worried that what he had done could not be concealed, so he was scared and fell ill.

The emperor slowly walked down the steps and came before Du Yingfa, looking down at him. "Tell me, who is behind you?"
