Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess
Chapter 262 The Emperor’s Death
"The Emperor has arrived!" Following the eunuch's loud shout, the Emperor walked into the palace with steady steps.
"Your Majesty, your concubine greets you." Yan Ling'er stood up and saluted.
"No need to be polite, my beloved concubine." The emperor said with a smile.
"My dear, are you feeling unwell?" the emperor asked with concern.
"I have a headache, but I will feel much better after drinking some medicinal wine. How about Your Majesty have a drink with me?" Yan Ling'er said coquettishly.
"Oh? Does this medicinal wine have such miraculous effects?" the emperor asked curiously.
"Bring the wine." the emperor ordered.
Soon, two glasses of wine were brought up, one of which had been coated with poison by Yan Ling'er in advance.
After the wine arrived, the emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Yan Ling'er and the emperor in the room.
"My dear, how would you like to drink?" the emperor asked softly.
"Can I feed you?" Yan Ling'er said shyly.
Yan Ling'er picked up the wine glass and gently brought it to the emperor's lips. The emperor drank the wine without hesitation. However, a moment later, the emperor suddenly felt a sharp pain. He stared at Yan Ling'er with wide eyes.
"You..." The emperor's voice was full of anger and despair.
Yan Ling'er laughed, a smug look on her face.
"Haha, Your Majesty, you finally fell into my hands." Yan Ling'er said with a sneer.
The emperor covered his stomach, fell to the ground, and his face turned pale.
"Someone come! Someone come quickly!" Yan Ling'er shouted loudly.
The palace guards rushed in upon hearing the noise, and were horrified to see the emperor lying on the ground.
"Call the imperial physician quickly!" Yan Ling'er ordered.
At this moment, she secretly rejoiced that her plan had succeeded. She believed that as long as the emperor died, she would become the most powerful woman in the harem.
The imperial doctors rushed over and tried their best to save the emperor, but his condition became worse and worse. Yan Ling'er stood by hypocritically, crying, but secretly feeling proud in her heart.
Not long after, the news of the emperor's death spread throughout the palace. Yan Ling'er successfully got rid of the emperor. She thought her plan was perfect, but she didn't know that the mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind.
After the emperor passed away, the prince secretly collected evidence and exposed Yan Ling'er's crime of poisoning the emperor.
Eventually, Yan Ling'er was banished to the cold palace, losing her freedom and power forever. The prince inherited the throne and became the new emperor. He was determined to rectify the government and make the country more prosperous and powerful.
Hua Yu ascended the throne at the age of eleven and became the new emperor.
The queen became the empress dowager, and the empress dowager became the grand empress dowager. Noble Consort Hua and Noble Consort Jing became Grand Noble Consort Hua and Grand Noble Consort Jing. Consort Wen and Concubine Jin became Grand Concubine Wen and Grand Concubine Jin. As for the unborn child in Grand Concubine Jin's belly...
Although Hua Yu is still young, he is smart and can handle government affairs with ease. With his efforts, the country gradually becomes stable and prosperous. However, the Queen Mother is worried that the Emperor is too young to control the situation, so she decides to support her own forces. She secretly wins over court officials and tries to control government affairs.
At the same time, Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing were not to be outdone and formed their own alliances to fight for power. The struggle in the palace became more and more intense, and the emperor gradually realized that something was wrong.
He decided to weaken the forces of all parties, take back the power and implement reforms. Under the emperor's plan, a thrilling palace power struggle drama is about to be staged...
Hua Yu knew that in order to secure his throne, he had to cultivate his own confidants. Under the pretext of studying, he often summoned some young and promising ministers to the palace to discuss the way to govern the country with them. Among them, a minister named Li Yunfei caught Hua Yu's attention. Li Yunfei was talented, had unique insights, and was loyal to Hua Yu. Hua Yu secretly cultivated Li Yunfei and let him gradually emerge in the court.
At the same time, the Queen Mother was secretly anxious when she saw that the Emperor was becoming more powerful. She decided to join forces with Consort Hua and Consort Jing to plan a Hongmen Banquet in an attempt to murder the Emperor. However, all this was already in Hua Yu's control...
The Queen Mother has her own biological son, and for the sake of power and her son, she also wants to have a piece of the pie.
Hua Yu received the invitation from the Queen Mother. Although he knew it was a Hongmen Banquet, he still decided to attend.
At the banquet, the Queen Mother and others toasted Hua Yu repeatedly, trying to get him drunk. Hua Yu pretended to be drunk, but was actually observing everyone's actions secretly.
After three rounds of drinking, the Queen Mother saw that the time was right and signaled her maids to serve the dishes. A maid came to Hua Yu with a plate of delicious-looking cakes. Hua Yu sneered in his heart, as he had already known that the cakes were poisonous.
He quickly threw the cake to the ground and exposed the Queen Mother's conspiracy on the spot. The Queen Mother was shocked, and the Grand Concubine Hua and the Grand Concubine Jing were also frightened and pale. Just when the situation was tense, Hua Yu loudly announced that the Queen Mother would be placed under house arrest in the palace and not allowed to take a step out.
Afterwards, he ordered people to arrest the officials who colluded with the Queen Mother one by one and purge the court. This move shocked everyone and also established Hua Yu's higher prestige. Li Yunfei also performed well in this incident and was further appreciated and reused by Hua Yu.

"Now that the Emperor has ascended the throne, taking a concubine..." Hua Xiulan frowned slightly, seeming a little worried.
"Our Yue'er..." Hua Xiulan hesitated to speak, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry.
"Lan'er, the throne is slipping away... why don't we grab it and take it over? How about that?" Jun Moli raised the corner of his mouth and said in a teasing tone.
"Jun Moli, have you never given up this idea?" Hua Xiulan widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
"Starting from my father! To my brother's ascension to the throne and now Hua Yu's ascension to the throne!" Hua Xiulan's voice gradually became louder and her emotions became excited.
"I'm not... kidding!" Jun Moli quickly explained with an awkward smile on his face.
"You are not allowed to make such jokes!" Hua Xiulan was a little angry. She stared at Jun Moli with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Lan'er, I'm sorry." Jun Moli realized his slip of the tongue and quickly apologized with a sincere and genuine expression.
Hua Xiulan thought of the last life when Jun Moli wiped out her entire family, and she couldn't help but feel fear and anger in her heart. Did he want to repeat the same mistake in this life? No, this must not happen again!
Hua Xiulan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She closed her eyes, felt the air around her, and slowly adjusted her breathing. After a while, she opened her eyes, looked at Jun Moli and said, "Okay. I forgive you."
Hearing this, Jun Moli felt relieved. He gently embraced Hua Xiulan in his arms and hugged her tightly. He could feel Hua Xiulan's body trembling slightly, as if she was still immersed in the emotions just now. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did Hua Xiulan have such a strong reaction? Was it just because of her concern for the throne? Or was there another deeper reason?
At the same time, Hua Xiulan, who was held in Jun Moli's arms, was also thinking silently. She was shocked and uneasy to realize that Jun Moli actually had the idea of usurping the throne.
She began to doubt whether Jun Moli was really trustworthy. Would his ambition and desire for power eventually lead to the breakdown of their relationship? Hua Xiulan decided to be more vigilant, observe Jun Moli's actions, and protect the safety of herself and her family.
