Emperor Ye is a decisive and decisive emperor. He would never allow such courtiers to fool him before.

But Qiu Ying knew that Ye Di was still hanging out with all kinds of beauties in the harem, his body was gradually hollowed out by wine and sex, and his mind was confused. He became more and more powerless, insomnia, dreamy, suspicious.

Of course Qiu Ying knew that he might face Ye Di's punishment, so he made a very wise move. He introduced a alchemist to Ye Di.

Perhaps alchemists have been a threshold that emperors cannot cross since ancient times, and how many wise and decisive kings throughout the ages have sadly and ridiculously fallen in the hands of alchemists.

Because alchemists represent desires, emperors have already stood at the pinnacle of mortal desires, they have everything from money, power, beauty, and fame.But when they have all these, they start chasing something beyond what ordinary people should have, that is longevity and youth.The mortal world can't satisfy them, so they pin their hopes on otherworldly things.

The alchemists helped Ye Di make alchemy, and after taking it, Ye Di was indeed full of energy and vigor, as if he had returned to his prime.But the elixir also made Ye Di unable to sleep, he was dreamy and suspicious, the burning flames in his eyes seemed to consume his last energy, but he didn't feel it.

Relying on the good words of the alchemist, Qiu Yingcai kept his position.

When Ye Liuyuan heard the news from the prince, she felt that Emperor Ye was getting closer to his death.

Anyway, the ups and downs of the imperial court and the harem basically had nothing to do with him. He used to go to the harem to pay his respects to Concubine Shu and Empress Zhao. Every time he went to see Concubine Shu before, he felt that her fragrance became sweeter and greasy.But this time when he went to see Concubine Shu, the faint scent on her body dissipated a lot.

The change of Concubine Shu's fragrance seems to have started after the alchemist entered the palace?

Ye Liuyuan was in a strange mood. It seemed that the favorite concubine in the harem who wanted Emperor Ye's death the most also recognized the alchemist's lethality.

"The imperial doctor said before that you were deeply depressed, but this time you seem to be much better. You still feel more at ease when you want to come out of the pavilion and build a mansion." Concubine Shu said with a soft smile.

Ye Liuyuan bowed her head and said: "Eldest brother often takes care of my ministers outside the palace, and my ministers have nothing to do outside the palace, the only ones I care about are the concubine mother and the empress."

Concubine Shu shook her head and said: "What's there to worry about, Xiao Qi, my concubine and your aunt have been trapped in Miyagi for half their lives, and your elder brother will probably spend the rest of his life here in the future. Concubine mother's Xiao Qi, is a good man Yes. Waiting for your eldest brother...you will be a feudal clan, the south of the Yangtze River will support people softly, and the sky will be high and the sea will be wide in the future. It is too late for the mother and concubine to be happy, so you are not allowed to miss it."

Concubine Shu was ambiguous in the past, and she knew it without thinking about it. When the crown prince came to the throne, he would be released.In his fiefdom, Yeliuyuan is the real place where the emperor is far away and can live happily.

Ye Liuyuan smiled, changed the topic and chatted with Concubine Shu for a while before leaving Chengqing Palace.

In the previous dynasty, those who were waiting for the prince to succeed to the throne and wanted to win the merits of the dragon were waiting for Emperor Ye to die. The concubine who is the most sacred in name is also waiting for Emperor Ye to die.In front of the harem, the old emperor seems to have everything, but actually has nothing.

Ye Liuyuan walked on the palace road for a while, her legs didn't hurt too much, but she was a little tired.He was always lying down, and his physical strength dropped a little bit.

As soon as he stopped to rest for a while, an eunuch who appeared out of nowhere pushed the wheelchair over. Ye Liuyuan looked familiar, and remembered that it was the one who followed the eunuch next to the prince to deliver the wheelchair when he first arrived here. The little follower, that is to say—it was the work of the prince again.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness asked the servant to bring a message, saying that if His Highness is uncomfortable, don't hold on."

Ye Liuyuan looked at the wheelchair, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Okay, step back."

His leg didn't hurt, but his elder prince felt it hurt, Ye Liuyuan didn't bother to leave by himself, so he just sat on it and let Luo Fu push him away.

Ye Liuyuan felt warm in her heart. Although the wheelchair appeared so well, the prince must have sent someone to watch him. It feels good to have someone thinking about it.

The palace road was long, and Ye Liuyuan felt a little drowsy when she sat on it, but after closing her eyes for a while, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

No, this is not the way to leave the palace, the wheelchair turned in the wrong direction.

Ye Liuyuan suddenly opened her eyes and asked coldly: "Luo Fu! Where are you taking me?"

Usually, Luo Chen is the one who follows Ye Liuyuan, Luo Chen is arranged by Concubine Shu, and Luo Fu is indeed arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ye Liuyuan has never been able to figure out which side he is from, but he has not changed much, and because he is relatively timid and wimpy, Ye Liuyuan has not paid much attention to him.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!" Luo Fu trembled when he was asked this question, he said, "Your Highness, forgive me for taking the liberty, but I want...I want to take you to see someone."

"Oh?" Ye Liuyuan said: "How does this king know that you take this king away, do you want to harm this king? You also saw that the prince's people just came over, and the eldest brother has been paying attention to this king."

"Slave, I have absolutely no such intention!" Luo Fu gritted his teeth and said.

"Then tell me, what exactly are you going to do?"

Seeing that Luo Fu had no other choice, he led Yeliuyuan into an abandoned palace.

Ye Liuyuan was really not afraid of what Luo Fu would do to him. On the one hand, it was the crown prince's protection, and on the other hand, Luo Fu didn't have the guts to do anything to him.

"Your Highness!" Luo Fu threw himself into the ground without saying a word, and said, "Your Highness is going to take this risky move. It's really a matter of great importance. I have no choice! Please listen to what this servant says, believe me, and in the end it will be Your Highness who wants this slave." Fate, the slave is also willing!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Fu tremblingly told Ye Liuyuan everything.

When this matter was mentioned, Ye Liuyuan was stunned.

Because Luo Fu's first sentence was: "The prince is not His Majesty's own son!"

What? !Are you kidding me? ? ?

Ye Liuyuan almost blurted out "Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors".

Then Luo Fu was also afraid that Ye Liuyuan would not believe it, so he said everything he had said in a bamboo tube.

Emperor Ye was actually not the eldest son of the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, no, or to be more precise, not the only eldest son. The first eldest son was a pair of twins.

The eldest son is a twin, and the Ye family has the blood of the Yi tribe, and the tradition of the Yi tribe believes that twins are unknown.

Because mortals give birth to each other, most of them have one child and one child, and there will be twins in one child. It must be that ghosts and evil spirits invaded the fetus during the woman's pregnancy, competed with the baby for life, and reincarnated in the world.

Ye Liuyuan sincerely felt that this was nonsense, and the Central Plains clan didn't say anything about having twins was unknown, but the Yi people believed in the words of spirit witches, which is much more barbaric, so they pulled out such rumors.

He felt that in addition to barbarism, affordability was also an important factor.Unlike the gentry in the Central Plains, the Yi people live by farming. They are nomadic and hunt, and their food sources are not fixed. In many cases, they cannot support two children at the same time.Rather than both starve to death or become emaciated from starvation, it is better to let one go and let the other grow up.

This kind of helpless choice based on survival gradually turned into a barbaric tradition. Even if two children can be raised at the same time, one of them must be killed, which is the so-called killing demons.

According to legend, the evil spirits invaded the womb after the real baby began to take shape, so the ones who were abandoned were basically the younger brothers.

Unfortunately, the current Ye Di is the younger brother of the pair of twins.But after all, the founding emperor's empress was a noble daughter of the Central Plains. Of course, she couldn't accept that she gave birth to twins and wanted to kill one of them.

She covered up the fact that she gave birth to twins, and publicized that she had only given birth to one child, but in fact she raised two children.The elder brother and the younger brother who were born with the same mother appeared in front of people in turn, sharing the same name and identity.

Then the flames of war swept across every inch of the land, and the pair of twins gradually formed a behavior pattern where the elder brother was in the light and the younger brother was in the dark, and they have been living together peacefully.But the seeds of unwillingness were planted in Emperor Ye's heart early on. He is also the son of the founding emperor and empress, why should he live in the dark, even his own birth was rejected.

This seed was dormant until now, Queen Zhao, poured nectar on it to let it break through the soil and sprout.

It has to be said that Emperor Ye's aesthetics have never changed. When he was young, he admired Queen Zhao, and when he was old, he fell in love with Concubine Shu, who was a replica of the young Queen Zhao.Compared with his elder brother, Ye Di was better at leading troops in battle, and was also highly skilled in martial arts. His elder brother and Queen Zhao didn't have much wariness against him at all.

What happened after that can be imagined. Emperor Ye killed his elder brother and let his elder brother die quietly in the rebellion army. He had the identity of the eldest son and his own name as well as Queen Zhao .

Even the founding emperor didn't know about this matter, only Emperor Ye's mother and Empress Zhao who married her elder brother knew about it, but they knew it but couldn't say anything, and Empress Zhao had nowhere to ask for help.After all, Emperor Ye is also the parent and child of his mother, she can't expose it, and she can't expose it, and even if Queen Zhao knows that her husband has changed, who can she tell.

Who would believe such a ridiculous thing?

As a result, Emperor Ye became Emperor Ye, Queen Zhao became a queen, and Queen Zhao's son became a prince.

The most absurd thing is that Luo Fu said that the prince is not Ye Di's biological son, but the brother's child who died in the dark.

Isn't that ridiculous?Ye Di is so stupid that he can't tell if the crown prince is his son?And how did Luo Fu know?

"At the beginning, the Empress had already married the King of Qin as his wife, so the prince must be the son of the King of Qin, but the time gap between before and after is not big, so it is difficult for Your Majesty to detect."

Emperor Ye was King Qin before he ascended the throne, but the King Qin mentioned by Luo Fu was Emperor Ye's elder brother.It means that after Queen Zhao married King Qin, she was pregnant with King Qin's child, but King Qin was killed by Emperor Ye in the rebellion for no reason, and he replaced him as Queen Zhao's husband.

Since Empress Zhao's pregnancy time happened to be a little before Ye Di's replacement time, Ye Di didn't know that the prince was not his own son.

The author has something to say:

The blood has started, the prince is brother Yedi + Queen Zhao's son; the seventh prince Ye Liuyuan is casually holding the Golden Palace, and the son of the Minister of Rites + Concubine Shu's son is next to the son of the Minister of Rites.

In other words, Ye Di's eldest son and seventh son are not his own sons.

Mainly because of the requirements of harmony, there is no blood relationship between the prince and Yeliuyuan, the plot requires it, and everyone who is too bloody can just watch it.

Candidates for the murderer: Empress Zhao, Concubine Shu, the prince, plus an unreliable alchemist, guess who died at the end of Emperor Ye?
