An Yixuan's eyes were full of hopelessness, and he shouted, "Impossible, Concubine Shu would not do this, someone must have framed her.

Your Majesty, you can't pin all the charges on us just because you want to settle accounts with the An family. I will never feel at ease even if I die."

The emperor knew exactly where to hit, "I have been investigating this matter for half a year, there can be no mistake.

You, the An family, have a very good plan. You have been planning this for many years. Is the Second Prince the candidate you have prepared for the crown prince? Then, you want him to be a puppet of the An family, just like I did in the beginning?"

The emperor seemed to feel a little distressed as he thought of the scene when he first ascended the throne, when the court was in chaos, people were divided, and there was no one available.

"At that time, it was my teacher who supported me. What were you doing in the An family? You were trying to win over people and have fun. You didn't care about my feelings at all.

Today, everything is caused by you. I have given you enough face, why are you not satisfied? "

An Yixuan couldn't believe that the emperor knew everything. Decades of plans had all been aborted. He shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, without the An family, you wouldn't be who you are today. You can't be so ungrateful."

Meng Feizhi couldn't stand any longer. He was a witness to the emperor's journey, so he stood up and argued with An Yixuan, "You are wrong, absolutely wrong. The emperor's current achievements are the result of his hard work and diligence.

He fought on the battlefield when he was young, and now he is still working diligently for the Southern Kingdom. Now the prince is also fighting on the battlefield.

How can a small family like the An family decide the future of a country? You underestimate the emperor and overestimate the An family. "

An Yixuan looked at Meng Feizhi with hatred, pointed at him and said sarcastically, "My today is your future. You will be the emperor's in-laws and the mother's family of the future prince. Your family will be destroyed."

Meng Feizhi looked into the emperor's eyes and said firmly, "Your Majesty will never do that, because our teachers simply cannot train such students."

Many officials burst into laughter, and then they remembered that the Emperor and the Duke were from the same school, so their friendship was naturally different.

The emperor looked at the slovenly woman in front of him and did not recognize her as Concubine Shu.

"Tell me why you betrayed me. If you had told me earlier that you and the Eighth Prince had an affair and that you loved each other.

I could have let you go, but I didn't expect you to have kept it a secret from me for nearly twenty years and raised my illegitimate child for more than twenty years. You are so vicious."

Concubine Shu got up from the ground, her face was covered with filth that she couldn't wipe clean, and her eyes seemed to be making a final struggle.

"It's all fake, fake, the Second Prince is not the Eighth Prince's, it's real, it's yours.

Your Majesty, don't listen to what others say. The Second Prince is really your son and has nothing to do with the Eighth Prince."

The emperor saw that she was not giving up. "Outside the palace, in the temporary palace, I got drunk that night, and then on the rainy night, during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Shufei seemed to recall scenes from the past, and her spirit could no longer bear it.

"Stop talking, stop talking, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I was forced into no choice.

Who told you not to come to my palace? If I didn't seize the time to get pregnant, would I still have a chance to survive?"

She seemed to remember something, and her eyes were pleading, "Your Majesty, please let the Second Prince go for once. He is at least the Eighth Prince's son and of royal blood. If you think in this way, the child you raise is actually your family's child."

How could the emperor tolerate this shame living in front of him? He did not accept this rude reason, "I will give him a life. Whether he can survive depends on his luck."

On the same day, news came from the cold palace that Concubine Shu had committed suicide by hanging.

When the Queen Mother found out, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. She looked at the palace maid kneeling below with vicious eyes.

"What did you say? Concubine Shu died, and the An family was also sent away. What on earth is going on?"

The maid tremblingly told the Queen Mother what had happened today. The Queen Mother rushed to the palace gate and shouted anxiously, "I am the Queen Mother. Open the door for me. I want to see the Emperor."

The palace servants outside the door had long since turned into the imperial guards, standing guard, looking at the other side of the door expressionlessly.

"Queen Dowager, please be quiet. From now on, we will be guarding the palace gates ourselves. The Emperor wants you to recuperate in the palace to prevent you from being disturbed by the bad things happening outside."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost fainted. The maid beside her helped her lie on the bed and said, "Tell the Second Prince to hold on. Now is the last moment. There is no room for hesitation."

The maid next to her blinked and left the room.

The emperor received the news immediately and snorted coldly. It turned out that his mother had always been thinking about the An family instead of her biological son.

How sad! His life seemed to be arranged by others. This position was so tiring that he suddenly had the urge to resign.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly sighed again, "Qi Xingming, what do you think about me taking you and the queen to retire to the countryside? Are you willing to follow me and suffer?"

Qi Xingming immediately knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, wherever you go, I will go. I have followed you since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to it. You cannot abandon me."

The emperor quickly helped him up. This was the servant who had been with him for half his life. Even though all the people around him had changed, Qi Xingming had always been someone he could trust.

"Thank you for your hard work over the past twenty years."

Qi Xingming didn't dare to reply and could only lower his body.

Although the emperor said this, he could only treat it as a joke, as everything was subject to the imperial edict.

Therefore, you must not take the emperor’s words seriously, or you may be set up for a trap.

When the second prince received the news, he couldn't believe it. He had known for a long time that he was not the emperor's son.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would find out one day, and then he could only make one last risky move.

Meng Zhenzhen also knew about every move of the Second Prince's Mansion. According to the news from the palace, the Queen Mother and the Second Prince were already operating in secret. Now the only answer was to force the emperor to abdicate.

I just don't know what role she plays in this drama.

Whether it is life or death is still an unknown, so I am really looking forward to it.

Eighth Prince's Mansion

The princess looked at the emperor in front of her, feeling very surprised. She saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor. I wonder what brings you to the mansion to see the prince?"

The emperor did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his visit, "The Eighth Prince is the biological father of the Second Prince. Did you know about this?"

The princess stood up from the stool, her face full of surprise, her facial features moving, "What? Your Majesty, you are kidding! The Second Prince is the son of Concubine Shu, that's not..."

He covered his mouth without saying anything else, "Your Majesty means..."

The emperor nodded palely, "I don't intend to make this matter public, so he must die.

In this way, the position of the Crown Prince will be inherited immediately. You can just hold his funeral in secret. Wuxi will have a bright future in the future, and you don't have to worry about me taking my anger out on him."

The princess breathed a sigh of relief. She finally had the chance to kill him openly, and the emperor would cover for her. This was so damn refreshing. It was the happiest thing that had happened to him in recent days.

The princess's face was slightly happy, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, ever since he favored his concubine over his wife, I no longer have any feelings for him. I can definitely handle this matter."

Several major events have taken place in Shengjing City.

The second prince was placed under house arrest again, the An family was recently deported, the eighth prince committed suicide, and the concubine Shu also committed suicide.

Each of these things is weird, but they can be connected together inexplicably. It’s so explosive to think about what happens next.

Meng Zhenzhen felt that this game of chess was becoming more and more interesting. After solving this problem, she didn't know what to do in the next game.

The news of the Eighth Prince's death dealt another blow to the Queen Mother. She was afraid that the Emperor would know that she was involved in this matter and drive her out of the palace. Then she would be helpless.

Even the Eighth Prince did not enter the royal mausoleum, but was buried directly in a cemetery outside.

This is not what the emperor meant, and the Eighth Princess doesn't want to have to lie with a disgusting man after her death. It's unlucky.

Meng Zhenzhen knew about this and almost laughed. This Eighth Princess was really interesting. It was worth it for me to help her in that matter.
