Jinyou coughed so hard that tears came out.

[What happened? What happened? Could someone have poisoned me?]

"But that's not right. If Jinyou died now, it wouldn't benefit anyone. Father and my brother wouldn't be so stupid, would they? And according to the way things are going, even if Jinyou becomes paranoid, he'll still perish with the country, right?"

Jin You clenched his fists, veins popping out of his hands. He only wished he could hear Xiao Yunzhen's noisy inner voice. It was such a love-hate relationship, a love-hate relationship!

It’s none of his business to decide whether to live and die with the country, okay?

"You'er?" He Qianzhao turned his head and glanced at him.

"It's okay, Dad."

Jinyou lowered his eyes and racked his brains to think of how to persuade He Qianzhao to cancel his attack.

Although I don't know the extent of the "sudden attack on Emperor Xuan" that Xiao Yunzhen mentioned.

But Jinyou knew his father well. With the new and old grudges piled up together, he was afraid that he would not be able to tear a piece of flesh from Emperor Xuan.

At this time, the singing and dancing in the hall stopped. Qingxi stood by the steps, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read it loudly.

There were two imperial edicts, one of which was to give Xiao Yunzhen a name, the same name as in his previous life, and it would be included in the royal jade book after a hundred days.

The other one conferred the title of Chen Guifei on Concubine Chen, which was equivalent to the empress dowager, and she was in charge of all matters in the harem.

【Oops! 】

A child's voice suddenly rang out in the silent hall, scaring Jinyou so much that he almost jumped up on the spot.

Xiao Yunzhen! What are you doing so startled?!

He gritted his teeth. The 'good temper' he had cultivated for several years was almost broken by the voice of a little kid, and the person involved was completely unaware of it.

Xiao Yunzhen could only hear him muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over. In my previous life, after Qingxi announced the imperial decree, the Empress invited my mother out to enjoy the flowers, using this opportunity to frame her for an affair. That's why He Qianzhao suddenly launched an attack, bringing up so many past incidents and dragging down many ministers from the previous dynasty. If the Empress succeeds, wouldn't it be the same fate as in my previous life? If He Qianzhao doesn't die, who will die?"

[What should I do? I can't let Mother go out with the Queen. That old hag Queen doesn't have much time left to live. She wants to harm Mother before she dies and support her forces to rise to power. I can't let her succeed!]

He Jinyou's heart skipped a beat. Daddy was going to die? The Concubine Chen was having an affair? The Queen was dying?

My goodness, what else doesn’t he know?

But no matter what, the Queen cannot be allowed to take Concubine Chen away, and the charge of adultery cannot be confirmed, otherwise He Qianzhao will drag a group of people to be buried with her.

Forget it. If the Queen takes Concubine Chen out, he will follow her. After all, he is Concubine Chen's nephew, so it is normal for him to miss his aunt.

After Qingxi finished reading the imperial edict, He Zhiyi's status was changed from concubine to noble concubine.

The regents present had genuine happiness on their faces, while the royalists had false happiness on their faces.

Only the Queen was truly unhappy. A world where she was the only one hurt was created.

Not only did he not have the protection of his mother's family, but he was also bullied by Concubine Chen...

Fortunately, she had already prepared manpower beforehand, so He Zhiyi would never come back!

You have a face that looks like a foxy coquettish woman, yet you still pretend to be pure!

Ever since hearing Xiao Yunzhen's thoughts, He Jinyou has been staring at the queen.

Seeing her suddenly stand up and walk towards Concubine Chen, his whole body tensed up instantly.

"Sister Zhiyi~ Congratulations on getting what you wished for today~"

He Zhiyi handed Xiao Yunzhen to the nurse beside her, then stood up with her wine glass, clinking it with the Queen's. "Sister, your long-cherished wish has finally come true today. I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart~"

The Queen gritted her teeth and forced a stiff smile. "I'll have to trouble you from now on. My health is really getting worse day by day. I just wanted to find someone to help me out, but I didn't expect that you would have to suffer. I can't bear it."

He Zhiyi knew that the queen had always intended to support the noble ladies of the new aristocracy to check and balance her, but two years had passed and she was still in great favor and no one could compare to her.

There are only two of the four concubines in the harem, and the other one was not supported by the queen.

The queen wanted someone to take care of all the affairs in the harem for her, but she also wanted to have control over the finances.

But how could such a good thing happen in the world?

He Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and whispered to the queen, "Your Majesty, you will get nothing."

The queen could no longer bear it and wanted to slap her twice.

But the game is set, just waiting for you to fall into the trap.

She smiled, deliberately staggered twice and spilled the wine on He Zhiyi's skirt.

The Queen was surprised and said, "Don't blame me, sister. You really can't drink too much wine and fruit. I am not good at drinking and accidentally spilled some wine on you."

【How careless! 】

Xiao Yunzhen was indignant and started rambling again.

[It's truly Sima Zhao's intention, known to everyone! Humph, no one else would dare to do such a trick under the Emperor's nose except the old witch, the Empress.]

[If today wasn't my full moon celebration, I would have slapped you twice!]

He Jinyou rubbed his forehead slightly, this is not the point, okay!

If all goes well, the Queen's next step would be to implement the plan.

Sure enough, the Empress said to Emperor Xuan: "Your Majesty, I was drunk and accidentally spilled some wine on Concubine Chen's skirt. I will take my sister to change clothes right away."

Emperor Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Seeing the two of them about to leave, Jinyou also stood up.

He Qianzhao grabbed him but failed to catch him.

[What do you mean?] Xiao Yunzhen was shocked.

[Why did He Qianzhao arrest Jinyou? Is there something else going on?]

From his memories of his previous life, he could only see that the queen framed his mother but failed, and then brought up an old incident, but he didn't remember the details.

But although my mother was fine, she was demoted, and the queen died of illness soon after.

[Something's wrong, something's very wrong! Who's framing whom?]

Now not only Xiao Yunzhen was confused, but even Jinyou didn't know whether he should follow or not, and was in a dilemma.

He turned around and looked at He Qianzhao with a questioning look.

Seeing He Qianzhao nod, Jinyou followed him out immediately.

I want to go too!

He Jinyou paused, then turned back to Emperor Xuan and bowed, "Your Majesty, You'er remembered that I had given the gift for the young prince to Ye Shan, but Eunuch Ye Shan is nowhere to be seen. I want to go find the gift and give it to the young prince in person~"

The child's slightly coquettish tone made Emperor Xuan feel the sense of accomplishment of being an elder, and he agreed without thinking.

"It's so boring here. It would be more comfortable to let Zhen'er stay with you. Go ahead."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

[Yay! Jinyou and I are so in tune with each other!]

Oh, yes, we are in sync with each other!

Xiao Yunzhen was not carried away by Jinyou, but was carried by the wet nurse and followed behind.

The three of them left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

[Jinyou, Jinyou, hurry up! I can't even see my mother anymore!]

As expected, this little brat has been so noisy all the time.

"Aque!"

"Sir."

Aque, wearing a high ponytail and a red dress, suddenly appeared beside He Jinyou, scaring the nanny so much that she instantly protected Xiao Yunzhen in her arms.

Jinyou explained, "This is the prince's personal bodyguard."

Then he asked, "Which way did the Queen and the others go?"

"They went in the direction of Chunfu Palace."

"lead the way!"

Chunfu Palace is located in a relatively remote area, and no one enters or leaves the nearby palaces except for the palace maids who come to clean the place.

Jin You didn't believe that the Queen took Concubine Chen to such a remote place without any preparation.

Several people hurried to Chunfu Palace and saw that the palace gate was open but the main hall door was closed.

Jinyou became alert and asked Aque to go forward and open the door.

Aque kicked open the door of the hall, and a strong fragrance wafted out of the room.

The smoke makes people feel dizzy.

The fragrance from Jinyou's rushing forward went straight into his nostrils. He felt as if he had lost all his strength, and as if a fire was on fire, making him extremely hot.

Aque noticed that something was wrong with Jinyou, blocked his senses, and slapped him on the forehead to make him wake up.

[What is that?! It's so pungent! I feel dizzy!!! Where's my mother? Where's my mother?]

Suddenly hearing the little kid's scream, my confused mind became clearer.

"Take the little prince away!" Jin You shouted to the wet nurse, then bit his tongue and forced himself to walk into the smoky hall.
