The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

How could he just stand by and watch someone die?

Besides, if it weren't for him, how could his brother be involved?

Li Qingcheng sighed and fell into endless self-blame.

On one side is his wife and daughter, and on the other is his blood-related brother. The dilemma is like a huge rock pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Li Qingcheng clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his palms without him feeling any pain.

Although Li Qingxin wanted to live, he also understood his brother's dilemma. After all, that was his wife...

He thought that if he were faced with the choice, he would be in the same dilemma.

Finally, Li Qingxin closed his eyes and said, "Brother, I understand..."

"Since Lian'er is gone, there's no point in me living. Take care of yourself from now on..."

"You, the eldest princess, and Jiayin, you and your family should be well."

Li Qingcheng felt even more guilty when he heard this. He knew that his brother was planning to sacrifice himself to help him.

But he was the one who caused his brother so much suffering...

Even if he hadn't betrayed the princess, what would it matter? Could they really be considered a family?

She actually instigated her own daughter to disown him as her biological father. What was there in that family that was worth him staying for?

Thinking of the past, a trace of pain flashed in Li Qingcheng's eyes. Finally, he made up his mind and chose to save his brother.

Their Li family cannot be cut off from his hands...

If his younger brother was gone, how would he face his father and the ancestors of the Li family in the future?

Afterwards, Li Qingcheng asked to see Emperor Yong'an, expressing his willingness to redeem himself for meritorious service, confessing all the crimes he had committed, and accusing the eldest princess of her actions over the years.

Emperor Yong'an was furious when he heard this. He never expected that the eldest princess had done so many evil things behind his back.

No wonder she often held banquets and let her husband contact the ministers in the court, just to smooth relations and make a lot of money.

With the help of her husband, Shen Leyan quickly found the princess's accounts over the past few years.

The result also surprised her greatly. She didn't expect that the eldest princess had already colluded with the Ye family.

It turns out that she collected so much money just to support the Ye family's army...

It seems that the Ye family has long had the intention of rebellion!

Emperor Yong'an was also extremely shocked when he saw the astonishing figures in the accounts.

It seems that the information he received was wrong. The Ye family is smarter than he thought...

"Your Majesty, the Ye family's move is probably no longer simply to ask Your Majesty to make the eldest prince the crown prince..."

"The Ye family has evil ambitions. This action may be an attempt to usurp the throne and seize power." Shen Leyan added.

Emperor Yong'an's face was as gloomy as water. He didn't understand what benefit the eldest princess would get from doing this.

As the eldest princess of the royal family, she actually helped outsiders to rebel!

When the Queen Mother learned about this, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Bastard!"

"I am so confused!"

"Mother..."

"Don't let yourself get hurt by someone like that."

"The Queen is right. It's not worth it for the eldest princess!" Nanny Lan also hurried to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself first."

"She did something like this, she's not worthy of being our Dazhao's eldest princess!"

"I will destroy her with my own hands..."

"Don't worry, mother. Fortunately, we have now found out the truth. Their plan will definitely not succeed."

"This matter is thanks to Yan'er. If she hadn't thought of using the prince consort's brother to get the prince consort to speak, we wouldn't have known about it so quickly."

"Oh, okay, okay!"

The Queen Mother held Shen Leyan's hand and nodded repeatedly, feeling a little comforted.

"Well done, Queen! You are a blessing to our Xiao family!"

Shen Leyan said modestly, "Your Majesty, I am too kind. I didn't do anything."

"Even if I hadn't reminded Your Majesty, you would have definitely found a way to solve it."

"No, what the Queen Mother said is absolutely correct!"

Shen Leyan knew that Emperor Yong'an deliberately made the topic revolve around her in order to divert the empress dowager's attention.

This incident was a huge blow to the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the solid evidence, she might still have illusions about the eldest princess.

She had no choice but to continue to sing the same tune with him humbly.

After the Empress Dowager calmed down, Emperor Yong'an continued, "In order not to alert the enemy, we will proceed according to the original plan."

"Mother, please continue to work on Princess Jiayin's engagement and let the conflict between the Ye family and the eldest princess continue to deepen."

He believed that Ye Huan in the capital might not even know about this.

Compared to his father Ye Zhenlong, Ye Huan is much more sentimental, especially towards his younger sister Ye Yun.

Their mother died early, and Ye Zhenlong married a new wife not long after, and later took in several concubines.

Therefore, the Ye family is prosperous and the relationships are extremely complicated.

Brother and sister Ye Huan and Ye Yun have been dependent on each other and supporting each other since childhood.

Originally, Ye Zhenlong was not optimistic about Ye Huan. He preferred his youngest son Ye Chen the most, but Ye Huan was his most promising son.

With his own efforts, Ye Huan actually became a general.

Ye Zhenlong actually had no idea of ​​this, so he actually did a lot of things without telling Ye Huan.

In his heart, everything he has from now on belongs to his beloved youngest son Ye Chen.

That was the precious son born to him by his beloved daughter.

Ye Huan and Ye Yun, brother and sister, were not close to him because of their biological mother's early death, so they did not have deep feelings for each other.

Regarding the conspiracy with the eldest princess, he was worried that Ye Huan would ruin his plans because of the imperial concubine in the palace, so he did not tell him everything.

This also led to a huge rift between Ye Huan in the capital and the eldest princess.

Moreover, due to the empress dowager's instigation, the relationship between him and the eldest princess gradually became strained.

But he did not regret it, because he was really scared of being associated with such a vicious woman.

Princess Jiayin can marry whoever she wants, the Ye family doesn’t care!
