The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"Of course, I am most happy about your child." The Emperor hugged his favorite concubine and felt that the birth of this child was wonderful.

He did not have many children. Apart from some princesses who were married off to other countries, there were only three princes who stayed and grew up. In the following decades, none of his concubines were able to give birth to children.

However, he was strong and naturally unwilling to abdicate in this way. Initially, the prince did meet the qualifications of a wise ruler, but no matter how outstanding the prince was, his power and reputation overshadowed him as an emperor, which was a sin.

The Emperor took the opportunity to suppress the prince and eliminate the possibility of rebellion.

Today, the prince is occasionally insane, and even though he holds the title of prince, he is no longer suitable to be the heir to the throne.

Prince Rui You Heng is stupid and dull. Although it is said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, how can he make up for other shortcomings by diligence alone when he becomes an emperor and ascends the throne?

Prince Yu was originally the most favored choice for the crown prince by Emperor Chen. If he could do his job steadily and live peacefully, Emperor Chen would naturally consider abdicating when he got older.

However, the sudden revelation of the secret alliance with the Qinghe Sect with the intention of rebellion caught the emperor off guard.

He was completely unprepared and fainted from anger as soon as he heard that Prince Yu had committed a crime.

Being in the royal family, he dared to conspire with those traitors. What did Prince Yu want to do? To rebel against his father? Or to rebel against the foundation of the You family!

The more the Emperor thought about it, the angrier he became.

Back then, just some unverified letters and rumors were enough to make him suspicious of the crown prince. Now that the evidence is on the table, how could the emperor not have more thoughts and concerns?

Furthermore, Concubine Xiao claimed to be ill, and Marquis Xiao had already left the capital to attend the funeral. It seemed that they were all distancing themselves from the matter in advance to cover up their connection.

These people have changed their usual behavior, and as more clues emerge, the Emperor feels more and more that... Prince Yu can no longer be kept.

In the past, Emperor Chen would have considered the issue of his successor, but now that Concubine Yu is pregnant, Emperor Chen has an alternative option.

Even if this baby is a princess, they should have other princes in the future.

However, for the Emperor to eliminate his own child himself seemed too ruthless and contrary to the principles of benevolence and righteousness.

Although the prince was thousands of miles away, wherever he went, official silver would be remitted into the national treasury. In addition, Yan Cheng's real-time communication and pure filial piety dispelled most of the emperor's doubts.

Even though the prince used some tricks, not everyone could endure those three years of misery, so it is understandable that some people were scheming to profit for themselves.

Compared with Prince Yu's dirty deeds, although the Crown Prince's words and deeds are flawed, he is truly filial.

After much deliberation, the Emperor decided to let the Crown Prince handle the matter of getting rid of Prince Yu. After all, the two of them had been holding grudges for a long time, and it was also a way to give an explanation to the deceased Queen and the Zhao family.

After drinking the medicine, she gradually felt better. The Emperor sent Concubine Yu back to the palace to rest, and he got up to draft an edict to deprive her of her title.

Outside the Zichen Palace, Concubine Yu, who had just walked out of the palace, happened to bump into Concubine Xiao who came to ask for a meeting.

Concubine Xiao was seriously ill, her face was pale and her body was very weak.

The guards guarding the palace gate were a little lax and accidentally let Concubine Xiao take advantage of the opportunity and run all the way over.

After all, she was the queen. Even with the emperor's oral order, seeing Concubine Xiao gasping for breath, the guards were afraid that Concubine Xiao would die accidentally, so they followed behind her and did not dare to make any big moves.

"Hello, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Xiao..." Seeing Concubine Yu approaching, the guards all kowtowed, hoping that Concubine Yu would come forward to deal with Concubine Xiao's difficult matter.

"Concubine Yu, you...bitch!" Concubine Xiao staggered and fell on the tiles of the long street. She struggled to get up and saw Concubine Yu walking towards her.

"Empress Xiao, you and I are both concubines now, so I don't need to bow to you." Concubine Yu stroked her belly and spoke mockingly with a smile. She lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the now embarrassed Concubine Xiao with a look of sarcasm.

Under Concubine Xiao's resentful gaze, Concubine Yu was not afraid at all. Instead, she walked closer, leaned down, and lowered her voice with extreme sarcasm:

"Your Majesty's illness makes her look like Xi Shi holding her heart, and she looks so pitiful. She has lost the arrogance she showed when she punished me. It's a pity that His Majesty hates her. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to see His Majesty anymore, and you can't save Prince Yu."

Concubine Xiao had been ill in recent years, and her mood had been unstable after taking medicine. Then, Prince Yu fell, and she was extremely anxious when she heard that there was no news from her father.

Today, she finally had some energy to come and ask for an audience with the Emperor, but was stopped outside the palace wall by Concubine Yu, who showed off and mocked her. In a rage, Concubine Xiao just wanted to kill the baby in Concubine Yu's belly to prevent it from blocking the way for her child!

The knuckles of her fingers turned white from the force she exerted on the ground. Concubine Xiao was so furious that she rushed towards Concubine Yu.

"You...you bitch! Concubine Yu, you shall not die well. Prince, are you worthy of giving birth to me? Are you worthy?"

"Mom, be careful!"

"Empress Xiao, how could you do this!"

After some entanglement and exclamations, the attendants around Concubine Yu stopped Concubine Xiao from attacking suddenly.

"Oh, what's going on? His Majesty is still ill! Madam Yu Fei, are you ill? His Majesty just asked me to accompany you to the Imperial Hospital to get some pregnancy-preserving medicine. What's going on?"

Eunuch Song came hurriedly with a whisk swinging, and seeing this scene, he immediately checked on Concubine Yu. Although he didn't know the reason, Eunuch Song had clearly heard what Concubine Xiao had just said.

Concubine Xiao suddenly woke up and saw Eunuch Song beside the Emperor nodding and fawning on Concubine Yu. Her body temperature dropped a few degrees.

She immediately realized that her attack on Concubine Yu in a rage was, to put it seriously, an attempt to murder the royal heir.

Her body collapsed weakly, and Concubine Xiao was terrified. She wanted to plead for mercy, but she was provoked and ended up making things worse.

Her emotions shouldn't be so impetuous...

"Why did Concubine Xiao come out when she wasn't recuperating in Xiafang Palace?" Although His Majesty did not explicitly ban Concubine Xiao from leaving the palace, she was implicated by Prince Yu and there were guards outside the palace. Anyone with a discerning eye would know what was going on.

Eunuch Song signaled with his eyes and ordered the guards to take Concubine Xiao back.

"Please excuse me, Eunuch Song. I am fine. Fortunately, the servants around me are attentive and no one is hurt. Your Majesty is worried right now, so there is no need to worry about this matter." Concubine Yu stood firm and smiled at Eunuch Song.

"Your Majesty has always shared His Majesty's worries, but this is about the fetus in your belly. How can I hide such a big thing?" Eunuch Song shook his head while facing the smiling face.

Concubine Xiao has even come to the Purple Palace to make a scene, how can she hide from His Majesty's eyes?

Having been with the emperor for many years, Eunuch Song could more or less figure out the emperor's intentions, and he also knew how much the emperor valued Concubine Yu's child. Now it seemed that Concubine Xiao's fate had come to an end!

At night, Prince Yu’s Mansion was heavily guarded.

Princess Yu cried incessantly, and she and the two concubines who used to dislike each other sat together and wiped each other's tears.

Just now, You Heng led his troops to search the palace in the name of a search, showing his full intention of demonstration. He single-handedly overthrew Prince Yu, who he had once thought was a mountain in front of him. He was refreshed and no longer submissive in his words.

Seeing that the situation was looking good, he informed Prince Yu about the secret poisoning of Concubine Xiao.

Upon hearing that his mother was murdered, Prince Yu was of course furious. However, his image in front of Emperor Chen had already been ruined. He was not even sure whether he could save his life, so how could he hurt You Heng?

Feeling irritated, and his concubine crying loudly, Prince Yu found it annoying, so he kicked open the door and walked out of the room. When he saw the soldiers guarding the dean, he started to scold them angrily.

In the past, these imperial guards would still be polite and respectful to Prince Yu, but now that Prince Yu himself is in danger, these soldiers who have received orders from the emperor will naturally not care about Prince Yu's face.

Prince Yu was tired of scolding, so he turned around and went to the study to get some tea.

Taking advantage of the interval between serving tea, avoiding the eyes and ears of the guards outside the window, Prince Yu finally received news from outside the palace.

My grandfather left the capital, and the plot to assassinate the crown prince has not been completed. My mother is seriously ill and is just a burden in the harem. Prince Yu thought about this and felt that the people around him were useless. They couldn't even defend against Prince Rui and Lord Xu.

If he had known this would happen, he should have dealt with all these people on the same day.

But fortunately, it’s not too late now.

After reading the note, Prince Yu felt more confident.
