Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"Father, my mother is definitely innocent!" The Prince of Qi rushed to the emperor with a pale face, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, I beg you to be more discerning!"

The emperor angrily threw the teacup to the ground and cursed: "Evil creature! The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to say that she is innocent? Do you want to piss me off to death?"

The Prince of Qi's face was as pale as paper. He kowtowed repeatedly, not caring even though his forehead was bleeding. He begged bitterly, "Father, I really don't know what happened, but I know that mother has always been a kind and upright person. She would never do such a thing. Please believe me!"

The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the prince of Qi's nose and cursed, "Shut up! You rebellious son, how could I have a son like you?"

The King of Qi was in tears and continued to kowtow and beg for mercy. His voice had become hoarse: "Father, please have mercy and let my mother go..."

The emperor was furious and shouted, "Get out! Get out of here!"

The King of Qi was so frightened that he trembled, but he still refused to give up and continued to beg. However, the emperor had made up his mind and ignored his pleas and left the room.

Before leaving, he issued an oral order, "Shufei, if Concubine Liu is not demoted to a noble lady."

"Father..."

The King of Qi collapsed to the ground with a blank look in his eyes.

"Your Highness, please get up soon." The eunuch beside him whispered.

The King of Qi pretended not to hear and just muttered to himself, "Why? Why doesn't even my father believe my mother?"

The King of Qi returned to his palace in despair and closed the door to visitors. He could not understand why his father, who always loved him, could be so heartless.

Concubine Liu also fell ill in the palace and cried all day. At this time, the other concubines in the palace began to feel proud. They had long disliked Concubine Liu and now they finally found a chance to bring her down.

The queen was laughing so hard in the Yiku Palace that her voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire palace.

"Hahaha! What a bitch! She deserves it. She even dared to fake a pregnancy." The queen laughed unbridled.

Prince Kang echoed the Queen, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Mother, Prince Xuan and Prince Xian are not to be feared, and they cannot compete with me for the throne. Now Prince Qi has lost the Emperor's favor, and only Prince Duan is left."

The queen nodded, her tone full of confidence: "Don't worry, Concubine Xian will not dare to instigate Prince Duan to seize your position. Tomorrow I will ask your uncle to arrange for his people to request for you to be made the crown prince in the court."

After hearing what the Queen said, Prince Kang was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be respectful and said, "Thank you, mother."

At the same time, King Xuan and King Xian learned the news that Concubine Liu had been demoted, and both were very surprised.

"I didn't expect that Concubine Liu would actually fake a pregnancy. This is really unexpected." The virtuous king sighed.

"But this way, we will have one less competitor." The wise king raised his lips slightly.

"But I'm afraid the King of Qi will not give up." Commoner Hua Zeyan (King Xuan) said worriedly.

"Then let him come and cause trouble for us. We are not afraid of him anyway." The wise king smiled disdainfully.

On the other hand, Prince Duan was quietly thinking about the changes in the situation in his palace. He knew the cruelty of the court struggle and knew that he had to be cautious in order to survive.

Now that the King of Qi has lost his power, the Queen and the King of Kang will inevitably become more arrogant and domineering, and he must find a way to deal with it.

The next day, in the court hall.

The ministers of the Kang Wang party came to the emperor one after another, begging him to make Kang Wang the crown prince. The emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally fell on Kang Wang.

"The matter of appointing a crown prince is of great importance. Allow me to think about it again." The emperor's tone was calm and difficult to read.

Prince Kang was secretly delighted, knowing that the emperor was considering his proposal. The other princes had their own thoughts, especially Prince Duan, who realized that the situation he was facing was becoming increasingly serious.

After the court session, Jun Moli returned to the Jun Mansion and walked into Linglong Pavilion. He saw Hua Xiulan embroidering by the window. He walked over gently, hugged her from behind, and asked softly, "Lan'er, how are you today? Do you feel better?"

Hua Xiulan smiled slightly, turned her head to look at him, and replied gently: "It's okay, Mo Li, I'm much better now, don't worry too much about me."

Jun Moli held Hua Xiulan in his arms, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "That's good, but you still need to take a rest and don't get too tired. By the way, guess what interesting things happened in the court today?"

Hua Xiulan asked curiously, "What? Tell me now! Don't keep me in suspense."

Jun Moli smiled mysteriously and said, "At the morning court today, Prince Kang's group proposed that Prince Kang be made the crown prince. They believe that Prince Kang is extremely intelligent and should be the future crown prince."

Hua Xiulan opened her mouth in surprise and asked anxiously, "Does the emperor agree?"

Jun Moli shook his head and said, "No, my father just said that he needs to think about it again. After all, the matter of appointing a crown prince is of great importance and cannot be decided lightly."

Hua Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned in Jun Moli's arms, and said with emotion: "Yes, appointing a crown prince is not a trivial matter, and it requires careful consideration. I hope that father can make a wise choice."

Jun Moli stroked Hua Xiulan's hair and comforted her, "Don't worry, Lan'er. No matter what, I will protect our child and you and will not let you get hurt."

"Yeah, even though my second, third, and fourth brothers have fallen out of favor, it's still possible for them to inherit the throne. What's more, my fifth brother..." Hua Xiulan

"Lan'er, don't you have any ideas?"

"You...what do you mean?"

"Lan'er, you are a princess, you are also a royal heir, and the child of the current emperor. Why can't you inherit the throne?"

"Mo Li, don't be like this." Hua Xiulan interrupted him quickly, "This is impossible. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a woman to become an emperor." Jun Mo Li disagreed, "So what, Lan'er, as long as you are willing, I can help you."

Hua Xiulan looked at him in shock, "Mo Li, are you crazy? This is a capital crime!" Jun Mo Li held her hand tightly, "Lan'er, I'm not crazy, I just don't want to see you get wronged. You should have a higher status, not be looked down upon."

Hua Xiulan's tears welled up in her eyes, "Mo Li, I don't want you to take risks because of me, I just want to be with you in peace." Jun Mo Li hugged her in his arms, "Lan Er, don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

However, what they don't know is that their conversation has been eavesdropped by someone hiding in the dark. Will this secret be leaked? How will the gears of fate turn?
