At the same time, Jingyi Palace.

Madam Yunsang, who was taken in by the Imperial Guards and temporarily placed under house arrest, turned around following the sound of footsteps.

"Empress Xiao, as well as Consort Hui, Consort De, and Consort Shu, I have been fighting with them for years, but I never thought that you would get the upper hand in the end."

After saying this, Madam Yunsang sneered sarcastically.

But to her surprise, the imperial concubine in palace dress looked calm.

Putting down the food box and sitting down beside the tea table, Concubine Wen raised her eyes to look at Madam Yunsang.

"You didn't lose to me, but to His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yunsang's eyes were slightly startled, while Concubine Wen remained calm, holding the Buddhist beads in her right palm.

"In his majesty's heart, you, me, Empress Xiao, Concubine Hui, Concubine De, Concubine Shu... all the concubines in the harem are the same. They are all the embellishments of his splendid country, the spoils of his romantic nature, and the pastime after busy government affairs."

"Even the princes and princesses are just pawns in his plan to continue the Great Qi Empire."

But in this palace city, they are like wild beasts in a cage.

In order to win the emperor's favor and to secure a future for their children, they fought ruthlessly.

Concubine Wen stared at Madam Yunsang, her calm eyes gradually turning cold: "What's more, Yan Haixi is not even a prince."

"He is!" Mrs. Yunsang said sternly.

As Concubine Wen opened the food box, she glanced outside the door inconspicuously, "Back then, His Majesty tacitly allowed you to take the eldest prince away, but the eldest prince died before he was a full month old. After you found out, you secretly ordered the head of the Yan family to replace the eldest prince with his son."

Concubine Wen thought Madam Yunsang was ridiculous, "The letter you sent out of Lantai is under the eyes and ears of His Majesty."

"Now that you have won, you can slander me as you like!" Mrs. Yunsang said disdainfully.

Concubine Wen was as calm as ever, neither annoyed nor angry: "I have already lost my whole life. I am not here to show off as a winner, but to fulfill A Bao's promise to bring someone to see you."

Madam Yunsang seemed to have realized something and suddenly turned around to look at the palace door that was pushed open.

The man who came was a man in a black robe and a green collar. He looked at her with his sharp eyes against the light, and his tall outline exuded a coldness.

She had only seen him from a distance during the royal hunting trip that year.

Having not seen him for many years, she could not instantly conclude that he was Yan Haixi.

In the cold silence, Concubine Wen stood up and left.

The mother and son who were left behind looked at each other.

After a long while, Madam Yunsang explained, "What Wen Xi said just now was all a deliberate lie to you. You are His Majesty's biological son!"

"I'm not." Yan Haixi's expression was complicated and difficult to read: "You don't have to, you're deceiving others and yourself."

Madam Yunsang approached Yan Haixi silently and looked at him carefully.

If that child survived, would he grow up to look like this?

Then she thought about how she had heard a lot about him over the years.

Knowing that he was in the Chuyue pirates' lair, he was a murderous weapon in the hands of the old emperor and was extremely cruel.

Such a son will definitely be able to avenge the Longyuan Yan family.

This thought flashed through her mind, and Madam Yunsang said again with certainty: "You have been deceived by them. You are. You are the prince of this palace and His Majesty."

"The current East Palace is nothing more than a princess. If you regain your status as a prince, you will definitely be able to take the throne! That is the supreme imperial power, Xi'er, don't you want it?"

After Yan Haixi recaptures Taiji Hall, he will avenge the Longyuan Yan family.

"Why didn't you kill Princess Diyang? Did she find out? Did you fail?" Madam Yunsang thought back to Concubine Wen and consoled her, "It doesn't matter. A victory or defeat at the moment doesn't mean anything. We should just be patient and wait for the future."

However, she saw him lower his eyes and laugh, mocking himself, "Longyuan Yan family, their crime is unforgivable."

"Even if you insist on keeping a prince in the Yan family, you can't save them from committing so many evil things."

Yan Haixi's stern face looked gloomy because of the dim candlelight in the palace.

"I promised my father that I would take you home."

"And Her Royal Highness the Princess has also promised that as long as you serve as a witness in Pei's treason case, the death penalty can be spared."

Hearing this, Madam Yunsang remained silent for a long time, but just sneered: "Kill me."

Yan Hai stared at Madam Yunsang for a long time, and finally hid his disappointment.

Stroking the black jade chess pendant on his left wrist, he said, "Since you are stubborn and refuse to change, then, it will be as you wish."

After leaving Jingyi Palace, the winter wind and snow were blowing hard, blowing in our faces like a blade scraping at our bones.

But Yan Haixi unexpectedly saw the princess standing at the palace gate.
