Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

"My queen mother has not done anything to let my father down." Xie Shang said boldly again.

"Father, you should go and see what kind of life mother has lived in Kunning Palace. When I was a child, I heard her cry often, every night, and then she would laugh. When you were in the palace with Concubine Su, or even Concubine Yan, Concubine Wang, Concubine Ya, or other women, she was guarding that place alone for more than 20 years. No matter what mistakes she made, Father, you should go and see her."

Speaking of the queen, the emperor suddenly thought of how she played the piano just now. She was also so dazzling and bright thirty years ago.

He was also attracted to her.

"Shang'er, do you hate me too?" The emperor seemed exhausted and looked much older in an instant.

Xie Shang was stunned for a moment before he said reluctantly, "I don't hate you."

The emperor was too lazy to play guessing games with him. Over the years, the queen had played tricks on him for a lot of reasons. He could not deny that Prince Heng was the most outstanding among all his princes.

"Father, let me play chess with you." This has been Xie Shang's dream since he was a child, and he also wanted to test the emperor's attitude towards him.

He improved his chess skills so that he could play against his father, he practiced martial arts so that he could learn from his father, he studied military tactics so that he could accompany his father on the battlefield, and he wanted to make achievements every time to impress his father, but he just couldn't see it.

He wanted to be like other children, with his father asking him what books he had read, how his calligraphy was doing, and whether his martial arts skills had improved...

The emperor did not refuse him this time. Xie Shang played the chess game with ease, leaving the emperor helpless.

He didn't expect that his son had already grown into a towering tree.

At the same time, Su Tingwan was originally kneeling as punishment, but when she saw that no one was watching her, she quietly slipped away to the cold palace.

In the cold palace, even though Su Qingqing was now destitute and had nothing, she always maintained her nobility. She had already found a way to pass the message out of the palace to inform the Su family.

She had thought about everything over the past few days and was sure that she had fallen into the trap she had set. The man had taken advantage of her and the whole incident had left her defenseless. However, Jiang Fenghua had gotten away with it the cleanest way.

"Aunt." Su Tingwan's face was covered with tears, she just felt wronged, "Wanwan finally saw you."

Seeing her in such a mess, Su Qingqing slapped her in the face, "Useless, you still have the nerve to cry. You've caused me to be in such a mess. The palace is a place with eyes in every corner. How did you end up in the cold palace?"

Su Tingwan could only swallow her bitterness.

"The Queen is holding a banquet. Everyone went over there, so I sneaked over here. Aunt, I..."

Su Tingwan recounted what happened today, "What should I do? Ah Chang doesn't like me anymore. He doesn't care about me anymore."

"The Queen is that vicious woman. She hates me, so she takes her anger out on you." Su Qingqing gets angry whenever she mentions the Queen. She has been trying to replace the Queen over the years, but has never succeeded. Although the Emperor doesn't like the Queen, he doesn't allow other concubines to take that position.

"At this point, Wanwan, if we want to be rescued, we can only rely on the Su family. I've been locked up, but you're still free." She added, "Think carefully about what has happened since you married Prince Heng. Prince Heng obviously doted on you, so why did he fall in love with Jiang Fenghua later..."

Su Tingwan's eyes were filled with hatred. Thinking of Jiang Fenghua's eyes today, she said, "Aunt, it's all because of Jiang Fenghua. She must be behind this. I seem to have fallen into her trap..."

Su Qingqing was so angry that her chest hurt. "You just realized now that you fell into someone else's trap. What were you doing before? I'm so pissed off."

"Aunt, now I understand." She repeated what happened in the palace.

Concubine Su said, "Did Yunfang ask you to do this? Bitch, I thought she could help you, but she knows how to enjoy herself, and in the end you have to bear the blame."

"It has nothing to do with Aunt Yunfang. She has been helping me all the time. It was Jiang Fenghua who deliberately seduced me, and I got carried away and used her name to buy some things." Su Tingwan still believed in Yunfang very much. After all, Yunfang had been helping her deal with Jiang Fenghua for so long, and even taught her how to win over Xie Shang.

"Are the things you bought yours alone? Are the clothes and jewelry all yours alone? How much can you eat by yourself every time you go to a restaurant?"

Su Tingwan then remembered, "Yunfang also liked it, so...she bought it too, and every time she went to eat, she ordered what she liked."

"Idiot, she is a slave, a servant. How can a servant eat at the same table with the master? You even bought her clothes and jewelry. Are you the master, or is she the master?" Concubine Su was furious. "How could our Su family produce such a fool like you? I really don't know why Xie Shang likes you."

Su Tingwan was furious when she heard this. "Wasn't Aunt Yunfang sent by my aunt to help me? Didn't my aunt say that she was one of ours and I could trust her? Xie Shang likes me... my true self."

For a moment, he couldn't even tell what Xie Shang liked about her, and she didn't even know what she was really like. Su Tingwan suddenly felt that she had no real appearance, and everything was just an act, but she really did like Xie Shang.

"Aunt, he will never like me again. He likes Jiang Fenghua now. It was Jiang Fenghua who seduced him and made him change his mind." Su Tingwan felt very aggrieved. "He clearly said that he only liked me. Why did he abandon me? What did I do wrong?"

Concubine Su wanted to sneer, "Wan Wan, you still want Xie Shang to love only you for the rest of his life. A man's love is the least valuable. He is a prince, a lord. It is only a matter of time for him to have many wives and concubines. The most practical thing for me is to hold the power tightly in my hands."

"But he clearly said..."

"He said he only likes you, but now he likes Jiang Fenghua. In the future he will like Li Fenghua and Zhang Fenghua. What will you do?" Concubine Su thought she was still young, so she patiently advised her, "We only need to hold power in our hands to be most secure. You just need to protect your status as a concubine. As long as you are still the concubine of Prince Heng, you still have a chance to turn things around."

Su Tingwan didn't know that ever since she sneaked into the cold palace, her whereabouts had been monitored, and what they said also fell into Jiang Fenghua's ears.

Jiang Fenghua didn't care after hearing this.

Xie Shang returned from Chengqian Palace almost at dawn. Jiang Fenghua was half asleep when she felt someone suddenly hugged her waist tightly.

She wanted to turn over, but Xie Shang said in a low voice, "Ruan Ruan, don't move. I just want to hug you. We will leave the palace later."

Jiang Fenghua obeyed and stopped moving. She closed her eyes and continued to sleep, looking heartless.

After having breakfast in the palace, they prepared to return to Prince Heng's Palace.
