The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

After calming his inner turmoil, the emperor slowly spoke: "I have issued an edict to confer the title of Concubine Liu to Liu Lanshi's granddaughter." Although his voice was calm, it revealed a hint of firmness.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, a faint smile flashing across her face: "She has indeed made contributions to the country, and the reward is well deserved."

The emperor immediately ordered: "Then I will let Yi Han announce the decree."

The Queen Mother looked at the young man in front of her and nodded slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes: "Yi Han, please stay for a while after you announce the decree. Your wedding is coming soon, and the aunts have specially prepared some gifts for you. Take them away later."

Yi Han bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Grand Empress Dowager, for your kindness."

The Empress Dowager turned to look at the Emperor, her tone revealing a hint of calmness: "Your Majesty, the matter of Lingnan has been resolved, and Daqing has not been damaged. Let this matter pass. The world is not yet settled, and we need to unite as one."

The emperor nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. I will take my leave now." He turned and left, walking side by side with Xiao Yunfeng.

After the emperor left, the Empress Dowager turned to Yi Han, her eyes sharp as a torch: "Yi Han, you need to tell me the truth about the source of those letters."

Yi Han's heart trembled. Facing the empress dowager's eyes that saw through everything, he dared not hide anything: "Grand Empress Dowager, I got those letters in Lingnan. But I have never been able to solve the secret. It was Concubine Liu who helped me."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager sneered, "Princess Liu?" There was a hint of disdain in her voice.

Yi Han lowered his head, not daring to look her in the face, for fear of provoking her anger.

However, the Empress Dowager did not get angry. Instead, she asked, "Do you know why I let them go?"

Yi Han pondered for a moment and replied, "As the Empress Dowager said, there are people among them who can be used, so we will keep them for the time being."

The Grand Empress Dowager slammed the armrest of the chair and said angrily: "How could I not know the ambitions of these traitors? They are the masterminds behind the rebellion in Lingnan. But I cannot kill them, because..." Her voice suddenly became low and deep.

Yi Han was shocked, not knowing what the Empress Dowager would say next.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and continued, "Although some of these people have ulterior motives, most of them are just driven by profit. If we want to massacre them, innocent people will definitely be hurt. What's more, there are many more capable people in the court."

She took out a few letters from her sleeve and handed them to Yi Han: "Take a look at these letters. They are only giving the King of Lingnan some information about the policies that the court is about to implement. These news will be made public sooner or later. They just know it in advance."

Yi Han took the letter and read it carefully before suddenly realizing what was going on.

It turned out that many of these people were deliberately placed by the Empress Dowager to be by the side of the King of Lingnan. In this way, she could know the situation in Lingnan very well, where the gunpowder depot was, and how their troops were deployed. Because of this, she could take the risk of letting Yun Xi lead the troops to Lingnan.

The reason why the emperor came to ask the Empress Dowager for advice first was because he was well aware of the deep trust between the two.

This kind of trust is built through time and experience.

"There is one more thing." The Empress Dowager looked at Yi Han, "The reason why I let them go is to pave the way for you."

Yi Han was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

However, Liu Banruo's mood at this moment was very complicated.

Although she received the emperor's reward, she was not happy at all. The title of Concubine Liu was far less stable than the previous Concubine Liu.

The emperor's decision to confer the title of consort was undoubtedly related to Mu Yihan's report.

This made her worry about the emperor's thoughts and whether those who were reported would be executed.

Even if they managed to escape, they would certainly lose their official positions.

Now the only thing she needs to worry about is how to explain all this to the emperor...

After some twists and turns, she finally stepped into Lingyun Pavilion alone.

At this time, Yi Han was preparing to go out after bathing. When he saw her coming, he bowed slightly and said, "Madam Liu Fei, I am honored to meet you."

Liu Prajna looked at him and said, "General, your plan is really clever and difficult to detect."

Yi Han smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Compared to your ingenious plan, I am just trying my best.

Your Majesty, you may wish to read those Three Character Classics carefully, perhaps they will give you some inspiration.”

Liu Prajna stared at him closely, "What is the emperor's attitude? How does he plan to deal with those people?"

Yi Han shook his head gently, "How dare I speculate on the emperor's intentions? Everything still needs to be decided by the emperor."

Liu Banruo's expression changed slightly, "Are you saying that the emperor did not take action immediately?"

"The emperor only issued one decree, which was to confer the title of Concubine Liu on Her Majesty." Yi Han said calmly.

Liu Prajna muttered to herself, "How is this possible? The contents of those conspiracy letters are so obvious, how could the emperor have no reaction? Doesn't he hate those people?"

Yi Han sighed softly, "Your Majesty, guessing the emperor's intention is a taboo. Please think twice, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." After that, he turned and left, leaving Liu Banruo alone to ponder.
