Yan Donghuang was silent for a moment, then turned to signal to Imperial Physician Wen and Rong Chun to leave.

Rong Chun bowed and saluted, screened all the palace guests out, and then followed suit.

Yan Donghuang picked up a cup of shrimp and tofu soup and placed it in front of Emperor Wu Lie. He handed him a spoon and then said, "Does your father believe in precognitive dreams?"

"A precognitive dream?" Emperor Wu Lie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized when he looked at her eyes, "Have you had a precognitive dream?"

"It's a coincidence." Yan Donghuang looked down at the soup in front of him with a stunned and dazed expression, "At the moment when my father was unconscious, I had a dream. I dreamed that the second emperor brother had ascended the throne. After that, Erchen went to the battlefield, returned to Beijing two years later, and married Sheng Jing'an the following year, but was poisoned by Sheng Jing'an on their wedding day. "

Emperor Wu Lie tightened his grip on the chopsticks.

Is this a dream?

Can a precognitive dream dream about something so detailed that even the time is concrete?

Poison... No wonder she wanted to break off her engagement with Sheng Jing'an.

"Sheng Jing'an said that he was following the emperor's order to get rid of me, because the existence of Qingluan Army made the emperor afraid, and he wanted to kill his ministers and seven generals." Yan Donghuang lowered his head and took a mouthful of lean meat porridge, and said casually Added, "Then I dreamed that I led my troops to rebel."

Emperor Wu Lie was stunned and suddenly laughed: "Reverse?"

Yan Donghuang nodded: "Yes, it's the other way around."

"Yes, she is indeed my daughter. She is so domineering in her dreams!" Emperor Wu Lie suddenly smiled, and his face became much brighter. "Whether this dream is true or false, it can be regarded as a warning from God. Although rebellion is domineering, , but in the end, it is better to inherit the throne to gain the rightful name."

Yan Donghuang hummed: "I have military power in my hands. No matter who becomes the emperor, I will inevitably be wary of you in the future."

Emperor Wu Lie suppressed his smile and nodded slowly: "Yes, only when the king is stronger than his ministers in all aspects and has the courage to control his ministers, will he be less afraid. Once the king is weak and the minister is strong, he will inevitably have murderous intentions. "

This is human nature, and it is caused by the king’s suspicion and incompetence.

When the king of a country feels that he cannot control his powerful ministers, getting rid of them is a choice that most people will make.

Emperor Wu Lie lowered his head to eat. After finishing a bowl of soup, he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth. Just as he was about to get up and sit down in the inner hall, a burst of crying suddenly sounded outside: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I have been wronged." Oh, Your Majesty! I am wronged!”

Emperor Wu Lie frowned: "Concubine De will start crying, making trouble, and hanging herself again?"

Rong Chun hurried in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine De is clamoring to see you. Does Your Majesty want to see you?"

"See you." Emperor Wu Lie said coldly, "I want to hear what other grievances she has."

"Yes." Rong Chun walked out.

After a while, Concubine De staggered in and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, I want to sue the eldest princess for lynching the prince! Your Majesty, I am wronged. Please make the decision! Please give me and Prince Jing some peace. Call the shots——"

Concubine De was about to burst into tears and use Yan Donghuang to whip Yan Ming to sue her. When she raised her head, she suddenly saw Yan Donghuang sitting at the table, and her expression suddenly froze.

With a wailing and accusing expression on her face, Concubine De was speechless: "Dong...Donghuang?"

Yan Donghuang looked at her calmly, and his voice was as cold as frost and calm: "Concubine De, you can continue."

Concubine De's face turned from white to green, and then pale, her eyes were red, and she cried bitterly: "I know that I have never done anything to offend the eldest princess. I have no daughter myself, and I have always regarded you as my biological daughter, but you ...For the sake of the throne, you not only dealt with my brother, but also your own brother..."

Emperor Wu Lie frowned impatiently.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." Concubine De took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, weeping out of despair and weakness, "My brother has always been loyal. I can't figure out how... how could so many things be copied suddenly from the Chu family's warehouse?" Silver, I can’t even figure it out... I can’t figure out how it is such a coincidence that the eldest princess is sure that there is money in the Chu family’s treasury, and begs the emperor to order a thorough investigation into the matter and give her brother justice..."

"You want to say that the eldest princess framed your brother?" Emperor Wu Lie looked at her expressionlessly, "Those boxes of gold, silver, and antique jades were sent by the eldest princess to be put into the Chu family's warehouse? "

Concubine De cried and said: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I dare not accuse the eldest princess..."

Rong Chun froze and looked at Concubine De as if he was looking at an idiot.

Didn't see it with your own eyes?

Does this mean that she really suspects that everything is the fault of the eldest princess?

Emperor Wu Lie lowered his face and did not want to listen to her nonsense anymore: "Someone has come and imprisoned Concubine De in Ganquan Palace. She is not allowed to move around the palace without my order."

"yes."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Concubine De struggled and cried, "The eldest princess lynched her royal brother, did the emperor not care? If she ascends the throne as emperor, she will definitely kill all the royal family's heirs! Your Majesty, the concubines are not just for themselves. My selfishness is for the sake of the country and the country, Your Majesty!”

"Lynching?" Emperor Wu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyebrows were menacing, "Since you insist that it was the eldest princess who initiated the lynching, I will call Yan Ming over to ask. Rong Chun, send someone to invite King Jing to the palace. ”

"yes."

Yan Donghuang ignored Concubine De and kept his head down while eating.

After finishing the lean meat porridge in front of her, she also ate a steamed bun and a plate of vegetables in front of her.

After finishing her meal, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth elegantly before turning to look at Concubine De: "Concubine De is staying in the harem, while my second brother is outside the palace. Concubine De knew about what happened in the Princess's Mansion this afternoon so quickly? It seems that she is well-informed."

After these words came out, Concubine De turned pale, and the blood on her face faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
