Seeing Emperor Mingguang coming unannounced, he suddenly appeared in Chaoyang Palace silently.

Concubine Qin was panicked for a moment.

Then she walked towards Emperor Mingguang with a smile on her face, wanting to throw herself into his arms as usual.

She has been using this trick for more than 20 years and it has always worked.

Another important reason why Emperor Mingguang doted on her was that she was humble, coquettish and clingy.

Men actually love this.

"Your Majesty, you are here. I miss you so much..."

The voice was so charming that it made people extremely intoxicated.

Emperor Mingguang was always tolerant of her and never used strict palace rules and etiquette to restrict her.

She was even allowed to meet Emperor Mingguang like an ordinary couple without any formalities.

Now, all these were like slaps in the face of Emperor Mingguang.

It hurts so much...

He looked at Concubine Qin with a cold face, his eyes staring at her, but the words he asked made her feel cold all over.

"Feng'er wants to join forces with Prince Cheng to force me to abdicate and pass the throne to him."

"Do you know about this matter???"

Does she know?

Of course I know.

But does she dare to admit it?

That's a matter that will cost you your life.

She didn't expect that the emperor would know about this.

They have been doing this in extreme secrecy.

What can I do???

Rebellion and forcing the emperor to abdicate is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan!

How would she answer?

It seems that I can only pretend to be dead and never admit it.

Let’s keep it a secret for as long as we can!

I hope I can buy some time for my son!

"I really know nothing about this matter."

"I don't think Feng'er would do such an absurd act or such a foolish thing..."

"Your Majesty, please do not trust the slanderous words of the villains, lest you hurt the blood relationship between you and Feng'er, the father-son relationship!"

Emperor Mingguang had never expected that at this moment, Concubine Qin was still deeply trapped in the confusion, stubborn and trying to get away with it by lying.

Did the mother and son really treat him as a fool and deceive him?

It seems that I have been too indulgent and pampering them on a daily basis.

Things that come easily are not cherished after all.

How could they so unscrupulously treat his sincerity like a worn-out shoe and trample it into the dust?

"You really don't know???"

"Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"You should know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by the death of all nine generations of the clan!"

Concubine Qin heard the threat in Emperor Mingguang's words and knew that he was angry.

But she still didn't dare to admit it, and couldn't admit it.

I can only keep a lucky mentality and hope to get through this.

In recent times, Emperor Mingguang's temper has become even more unpredictable.

He often got angry and lost his temper, even towards her, the imperial concubine who had always been favored.

Sometimes, his words were as biting as the cold wind.

Sometimes, his anger is as blazing as fire, catching people off guard.

Now, everyone in the palace is walking on thin ice, fearing that they might accidentally anger the emperor and bring about an unexpected disaster.

Concubine Qin deliberately said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, don't you know me best?"

"I am the simplest and most non-confrontational person."

"What could be hidden from the Emperor?"

"As for Feng Er's story, it is completely false. It is just a rumor spread by villains."

"Your Majesty, please do not listen to slanderous words! It will hurt the relationship between father and son..."

Emperor Mingguang turned his eyes to Concubine Qin, and the coldness and depth in his eyes seemed enough to freeze someone to death.

He was willing to give Concubine Qin another chance to speak honestly.

After all, she was the woman he had loved and doted on for many years.

However, this ultimate expectation turned into endless disappointment.

This woman didn't have any sincerity towards him.

It chilled him to the bone!

He felt unprecedentedly frustrated, as if all his efforts had come to nothing.

"I heard that my beloved concubine has sent several letters to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the past few days. Is there something important?"

Concubine Qin did not hesitate and said, "My mother is getting older and her body is no longer as strong as before. I am very worried about her health. After all, as a child, I still have to do my best to be filial..."

Emperor Mingguang felt that he had nothing to say.

Since Concubine Qin treated him like a fool, he couldn't let her down.

"Somebody come!"

Several eunuchs and palace maids came in and all knelt on the ground.

"Imperial Concubine Qin has deceived the emperor, acted inappropriately in front of the emperor, disregarded the laws of the court, and favored her relatives. From now on, she will be banished to the cold palace and cannot leave without an imperial decree."

Concubine Qin found it unbelievable.

She didn't expect that in an instant, she fell from the clouds into the dust.

Smashed to pieces.

It feels very unreal.

Before Concubine Qin could come to her senses.

Then the voice of Emperor Mingguang was heard again.

"Leader of the Imperial Guards Li Junhui, listen to my orders!"

"I'll obey your orders!" Li Junhui stepped forward and waited for instructions respectfully.

"Immediately bring 500 guards to search and confiscate the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion..."

When she heard about the search and seizure of the Zhenguogong Mansion, Concubine Qin's head buzzed and she could hear nothing more...

She was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she pleaded in an extremely sad voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Is there any misunderstanding?..."

"Your Majesty...I beg you! Please...don't listen to slander!..."

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was wrongly accused..."

Emperor Mingguang looked down at Concubine Qin, his eyes seemed to hold a knife, making people feel cold all over.

"I already have solid evidence, so I came to ask you."

"I gave you a chance to confess and get leniency, but you treated me like a fool."

"You have brought this upon yourselves, you deserve it, you cannot blame anyone else..."

"For the sake of our years of relationship, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it..."

"Over the years, whether it's you, Feng'er, or the Zhenguo Mansion, have I ever treated you unfairly? How have you repaid me?"

"Now, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

Concubine Qin knelt down before Emperor Mingguang and cried, looking so pitiful with tears in her eyes.

"I beg Your Majesty to spare my parents and the baby at home, okay?"

Emperor Mingguang looked at her coldly, without any of the usual pity in his eyes.

"You killed all nine clans and attempted to force the emperor to abdicate. They all deserve to die..."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I beg you... Please let them go!"

Concubine Qin kowtowed hard on the ground, and the sound of "bang bang bang" echoed throughout the hall.

But Emperor Mingguang remained unmoved.

"You, take care of yourself!"
