The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

With the examination by the imperial physician, the testimonies of the palace maids and eunuchs, and Chen Liyu's attempt to shift all the blame onto Chen Yilin in order to evade responsibility, the investigation revealed a new truth.

The court officials and their families finally figured out the whole story!

In short, the former Consort Yi, now Consort Chen, falsely accused Princess Chang Le of seducing the Emperor three months ago, which angered Princess Chang Le and caused her to kneel in the snow as punishment. She was also slapped a hundred times until Princess Chang Le woke up.

However, due to the punishment, Consort Chen's legs were damaged and she could no longer walk for long periods of time. Moreover, her appearance was also ruined, and she stayed in her palace all day, afraid to go out and see people.

Harboring resentment, she secretly administered a potent aphrodisiac to His Majesty and Princess Chang Le during the New Year's Eve banquet!

She planned to have her maternal brother, Chen Liyu, taint Princess Changle's innocence, and then escalate the matter by having palace maids and Chen Liyu claim that Princess Changle had seduced Chen Liyu. Together with the Chen family, she would force His Majesty to grant Princess Changle and Chen Liyu a marriage.

At the same time, she can also achieve good things with His Majesty and regain her status as a concubine!

It's easy to drug Princess Chang Le, but it's much more difficult to drug His Majesty.

So Consort Chen deliberately revealed to Consort Xian that she was going to drug His Majesty.

In order to achieve her goal of getting along with His Majesty, Consort Xian not only did not report Consort Chen's conspiracy to His Majesty, but also wanted to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Consort Xian left behind the wine bottle prepared by Consort Chen, but couldn't find an opportunity to pour wine for His Majesty at the banquet.

She then instructed a palace maid to go outside the palace and find an opportunity to bump into the eunuch who was delivering wine to the emperor, spilling the wine. She then bribed the eunuch to pour the drugged wine into the emperor's bottle, thus drugging him.

His Majesty felt unwell and left the banquet. He instructed the chief eunuch to keep an eye on Consort Xian. Consort Chen also arranged for someone to pretend to be a ghost on the way to scare Consort Xian into fainting, so as to prevent Consort Xian from going to the Tangchi Palace and disturbing her and His Majesty's happy time.

But man proposes, God disposes. They never expected that Princess Chang Le would realize she had been drugged and that the palace maid who served her that night was acting strangely, so she sent her maid to ask the Emperor for help.

Therefore, His Majesty did not go to the Tangchi Palace, but instead went to rescue Princess Chang Le.

After His Majesty rescued Princess Chang Le and had the imperial physician examine her, he discovered that both he and Princess Chang Le needed yin-yang union to alleviate the effects of the medicine.

So His Majesty, not wanting to wrong himself, directly favored Princess Chang Le?!

"How...how can Your Majesty violate the fundamental principles of morality and ethics? Princess Chang Le is his own adopted sister. How can you take advantage of her just to avoid feeling wronged?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that history will record you as a foolish ruler for all time for committing this incestuous act?"

"Now that His Majesty has already favored Princess Chang Le, what else can we do?"

"In my opinion, Princess Chang Le is not His Majesty's blood-related sister. It would be better to announce this matter to the world in its entirety, so that people know that His Majesty's actions were out of helplessness. Then people will not see His Majesty as a foolish ruler."

However, the reputation of the Chen family, Consort Xian, and even Consort Xian's grandfather Zhang Daru, will be ruined.

"Let His Majesty deal with this matter later."

"That's right. We subjects must ultimately obey His Majesty's orders."

At this moment, Su Zhan, who had been drugged and was in a state of semi-consciousness, finally figured out what had happened.

Enraged, he broke free from the eunuch's support and rushed forward, kicking Chen Liyu two meters away.

The ministers hurriedly ordered the guards to stop him, but Su Zhan was strong and powerful. He was drunk and wouldn't listen to their advice. He just wanted to rush up and beat that bastard who wanted to defile his sister's purity to death!

Qin Yang, sitting opposite Su Zhan, seemed to be petrified, holding his wine glass and remaining motionless on his seat.

When he finally came to his senses, he crushed the wine glass in his hand with his bare hands, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Chen Liyu, the killing intent in his eyes was as solid as a tangible substance.

It was because of Chen Yilin and Chen Liyu that Chang Le was given medicine, and that Qin Yan, that despicable and shameless bastard, took advantage of her vulnerability!

The Chang Le that should have belonged to him is now being forced onto the dragon bed by Qin Yan, who is doing whatever he wants to her!

Anger, jealousy, and resentment tangled together in Qin Yang's heart, making it impossible for him to remain rational. He grabbed the white jade wine bottle from the long table, strode over to Chen Liyu, and smashed it hard on his head!

"boom--"

Blood gushed from Chen Liyu's head instantly, causing the female relatives of the surrounding court officials to scream in terror, "Ah—!"

Even after smashing Chen Liyu's head open, Qin Yang was still not satisfied. He kicked Chen Liyu several times before the guards and eunuchs, who had finally snapped out of their daze, pulled him away.

Qin Yang was being held back, but he kept struggling to kick Chen Liyu. The guards and eunuchs tried to pull Su Zhan and Qin Yang away, but they didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting them and getting punished. So they couldn't pull Su Zhan and Qin Yang away for a long time.

Beside them, ministers were trying to persuade Su Zhan not to make a move, and Qin Yang not to kick him. Chen Liyu was wailing on the ground, and the entire center of the hall was in chaos.

After a long while, Su Zhan was persuaded to return to his seat by Fang Wanqing, and Qin Yang was also persuaded to return to his seat by his princess. Only then did the chaotic scene calm down.

The court officials discussed what to do about the matter while waiting for Qin Yan to finish his business and come out to take charge.

The courtiers had expected that their emperor would come out to deal with the matter after half an hour.

Unexpectedly, they waited for an hour but His Majesty still did not come out.

Then they waited for another quarter of an hour, but instead of their emperor, a small eunuch appeared.

The young eunuch conveyed His Majesty's decree, instructing them to return to their residences and come back to court after the Lantern Festival when morning court resumes.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty only told us to return to our residence, but didn't say how to handle this matter?"

"Father-in-law, in previous years the morning court session would resume on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Why is it that this year it is only after the Lantern Festival?"

"Your Majesty, how is His Majesty's health now? Has the medicine harmed His Majesty's body?"

.........

The young eunuch was overwhelmed by the barrage of questions from the court officials, but he was just a lowly eunuch and couldn't afford to offend these adults, so he could only answer them politely one by one.

Anyway, His Majesty only gave him these few words and didn't explain anything else, so he just had to tell the truth.

Su Zhan, who was almost sober, and Qin Yang, who was opposite him, had extremely dark faces.

One hour, no, starting from the time the eunuchs escorted Chen Liyu, Consort Chen, palace maids, and eunuchs to the Taiji Hall, more than an hour and a half had passed.

After such a long time, even the strongest medicine should have worn off by now!

The fact that Qin Yan isn't coming out only shows that he's gotten carried away and is still indulging in pleasure with Ayan/Changle.

Su Zhan felt sorry for his younger sister, whose body was so weak, and that she had to be taken advantage of by Qin Yan for so long. He was worried that she would not be able to bear it and would get hurt.

Qin Yang was not only jealous and resentful that Qin Yan had taken Su Yan's body first, but also wanted to possess Su Yan for so long!

Both of them were so angry that they gritted their teeth.

With New Year's Eve approaching midnight, and the outside world not only darkened but also grew extremely cold, the court officials hurriedly took their families back to their residences.

No matter how worried Su Zhan was, or how unwilling Qin Yang was, they were all escorted out of the palace by the chief eunuch and guards.

The entire front hall of the Taiji Hall quickly became deserted, leaving only the bright spring sunshine in the rear hall.

Even in the dead of night, when heavy snow was falling, nothing could stop the warmth and beauty of spring indoors!

Happy New Year!
