Ye Feiqing was walking back and forth in the house at this time, his deep eyes were gloomy and terrifying.
Xiao Zhuozi, who was beside the emperor, died suddenly! Xiao Zhuozi was his spy who observed the emperor's every move. He was extremely cautious and could be alert immediately at the slightest movement. But now, why did he suddenly die?
Ye Feixi's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he suddenly remembered the emperor's attitude towards him after the morning court and his slightly cold eyes.
His beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and his heart gradually became uneasy.
He had planned it well, but now things turned out like this?
Ye Feixi conspired with King Anhuai to leak the border defense map in order to seize the position of the crown prince. When the emperor told him in the morning, he was surprised in his heart, but his face was as gentle as usual, without showing any abnormality.
The emperor was testing him by saying this to him without any reason. Perhaps he had already suspected him? Ye Feiqing took a deep breath and his face was cold. Who was it? Who put the letter in front of the emperor? Xiao Zhuozi's sudden death must be related to this incident, but he was his own man, how could he do such a thing? Moreover, how could he pick up such a private thing? At this moment, a person appeared in Ye Feiqing's mind, a sinister and cold man, who always had alienation and indifference in his eyes and was on guard when he saw him! Ye Feibai! It must be Ye Feibai. It must be him who has the ability to defeat Ye Feixi, whom he supported. But, isn't Ye Feibai here? Could it be that he is back? ! Thinking of this, Ye Feiqing showed a fierce look on his face, and became more gloomy, no longer with the gentleness he had when facing others in the past. He raised his hand and knocked all the tea sets on the coffee table to the ground, and the tea sets fell to the ground and broke into pieces!
Looking at the fragments on the ground, Ye Feiqing's eyes were full of anger. It must be him. It must be him who shot him from behind and wanted to kill him!
For so many years, he not only kept a low profile, but also tried to figure out everyone's preferences and please everyone. This time, he almost fell into someone else's trap.
His mother was killed by Concubine Rou. He knew it clearly, but he still recognized Concubine Rou as his mother and tried his best to please her! He endured for so many years, not only to avenge his mother, but also to make up his mind to take that position.
Why can't he fight for something that others can fight for?
He, an unpopular prince, has everything he has now, all of which he has worked hard for! He clenched his fists tightly. Everything he did could not be wasted. Now the fire has burned on him, forcing him to have no way to retreat, so he can only give up Ye Feixi!
As the legitimate son of the queen, he has enjoyed the favor for so many years, and it's time to end it! Ye Feiqing stood in front of the window, looking at the lush plants in the garden, his eyes flashed: "Come here, tell Su Si a message." Ye Feiqing had spies in various princes' mansions, even around the emperor, and Su Si was his spy in the fourth prince's mansion. He chose Su Si for a reason. Su Si's parents were killed by Ye Feixi, and he hated the fourth prince for a long time. He obeyed Ye Feiqing at that time because he was willing to avenge him. Now that Ye Feiqing gave him such an opportunity, he would definitely do it perfectly. Ye Feiqing's eyes became darker and darker. Fourth brother, I'm really sorry. Anyway, you don't have much time left. Since the death of Xiao Zhuozi, the emperor ordered the leader of the imperial guards, Commander Xu, to thoroughly investigate the fourth prince's mansion. It's only been one day, and Commander Xu brought someone. Su Si knelt on the ground, while the emperor sat upright on a high chair, his face was majestic without anger, and there was a hint of anger at the corner of his lips.
Commander Xu said on the side: "Your Majesty, when I was searching the Fourth Prince's mansion, I found this man sneaking around and trying to leave through the back door, but I caught him back."
The emperor glanced at Su Si and saw that he looked extremely scared and seemed to be willing to give up everything. He noticed something was wrong, and his eyes narrowed and he said: "Why did you run away? Could it be that the Fourth Prince's matter was related to you?"
Su Si gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Humph, he deserved it!"
"Bold!" Commander Xu shouted.
But Su Si's voice was filled with resentment and unwillingness, and a hint of surprise flashed across the emperor's eyes: "Go on!"
Su Si's voice contained a trace of pain: "The Fourth Prince once killed my parents in order to get my sister. After he got my sister, he ruthlessly abandoned her. My sister jumped into the river because she couldn't get over it! A good family was ruined because of his persuasion! I was unwilling to accept it, so I lurked around the Fourth Prince for many years just to find evidence of the Fourth Prince."
The emperor couldn't help but say: "So, you put that letter?"
"Yes, I gave it to Xiao Zhuozi." Su Si's voice was filled with infinite depression, "Xiao Zhuozi is my distant cousin, so I asked him to help! I didn't expect him to..."
"Then, is what the letter said true?" The emperor stood up from his chair suddenly.
Su Sichao kowtowed to the emperor and said, "It is absolutely true! The Fourth Prince has been exchanging letters with the King of Huai'an of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This time, in order to seek revenge, I risked my life to steal these letters, just to show them to the emperor." After hearing this, the emperor was furious, but he tried his best to hold it back. He sat on the dragon chair and read the contents of the letters. He was more and more shocked. He slammed the table and said, "Imprison the Fourth Prince in the mansion!" Feixi was good at quibbling. Now that the evidence was there, the emperor did not even give the Fourth Prince a chance to defend himself and imprisoned him. Imprisonment is actually a very cruel punishment. The emperor issued this decree. I am afraid that the Fourth Prince will spend his whole life in the Fourth Prince's mansion. He has completely lost his personal freedom! Once the news of Ye Feixi's disappearance due to imprisonment spread, some people were happy and some were worried. Among them, the Queen almost fainted. Didn't she abandon Yunfei? Why was Feixi still implicated? She was Ye Feixi's biological mother, and her life's honor and disgrace depended on him. Now when she heard that he was imprisoned, she hurried to Chang'an Palace to ask the emperor.
But before she got close, she was stopped by the eunuch guarding the door. The Queen angrily said, "How dare you!"
The eunuch said, "The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter!"
The Queen was so anxious that she kept wandering outside the door, her heart pounding, and her hands twisted her handkerchief hard. After a long time, she was not summoned, so she knelt in front of the Chang'an Palace without hesitation.
The eunuch hesitated, winked at the other one, and the other one entered the palace gate and went inside to report to the emperor.
After a while, the emperor finally came out and saw that the Queen looked unhappy.
When the queen saw the emperor, her face lit up, she knelt and moved forward a few steps, saying sadly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Feixi is innocent, he must have been wronged, he would not do such a thing, Your Majesty, you can't imprison Feixi, you must investigate this matter thoroughly!"
The emperor looked at the queen coldly, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care.
Before hearing what Su Si said, he had tried his best to convince himself to believe Feixi, but now, what reason did he have to believe such a rebellious son?
Moreover, in that letter, those secrets that only the two of them knew were actually written on it.
He said that he had promised to give him the position of the prince, but the time had not come yet.
The emperor's eyes were extremely cold, humph, he did tell him that it was just to support him to compete with Ye Chonghua, who would have thought that he was a hopeless person?
To secure the throne, the power among the princes must be balanced. If anyone is too ambitious, he will soon die.
The queen was still crying and begging on the ground, but the emperor was impatient. He looked at the queen with annoyance. Only such a stupid woman could teach such a stupid son!
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you feel sorry for him, you can go and accompany him." The emperor said this coldly and walked out.
Ye Feixi is no longer useful, so he can only find someone else.
The queen was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it. Her eyes dimmed. When she came to her senses, she saw that the emperor had walked out, just constantly calling the emperor and kowtowing to him.
She knew that now Feixi was imprisoned, and she was the only one who could save him. She knelt under the scorching sun, and she was almost fainted by the sun.
There was a lot of sweat on her forehead and face, and her makeup was almost ruined, but she could only grit her teeth and persist. Her body swayed slightly, and Ziyuan beside her couldn't help but persuade her: "Queen, you'd better get up first. If you continue like this, what will happen to your body?"
"Shut up!"
The sky gradually darkened, and suddenly dark clouds gathered. A thunder sounded, and bean-sized jade beads fell and hit the queen.
The rain was mixed with a trace of cold wind. The queen was wearing thin clothes and was almost shivering.
Ziyuan couldn't help but persuade her, but the queen was indifferent.
The whole night was shrouded in rain and fog, and the trees in the garden became more and more desolate and terrifying. The queen's figure became very lonely and destitute in the rain.
Even so, the queen still knelt for a long time, with her back straight.
The sky was turning white. The queen, who had been kneeling all night, was frightened. She had a high fever due to the evil wind entering her body. She could not hold on any longer. She felt a black screen before her eyes and passed out. When the news of the queen's illness spread, the Li family immediately prepared to enter the palace.
Since Li Yunfei's death, the queen refused to meet with the Li family. This time, the Li family took the opportunity to visit the patient and sent Li Yunfei's mother, Madam Li, to the palace.
When the queen woke up, she saw Madam Li standing in front of the bed.
The queen felt dizzy and called out groggily, "Sister-in-law."
This was how she called Madam Li before she entered the palace. She hadn't called her for many years. Maybe she was sick and everything was back to square one.
Madam Li stood quietly in front of the bed, looking at the pale face of the queen, and said disdainfully: "I really don't deserve to be called sister-in-law."
Thinking of Li Yunfei's tragic death, Madam Li said hatefully: "Queen, you are so cruel!"
The queen regained her consciousness and saw that Madam Li was actually standing in her room. She couldn't help but angrily said: "How dare you trespass into my bedroom!"
It was an angry voice, but it was very weak because of weakness.
Madam Li saw that the queen had no guilt at all, and she was also furious for a while. Suddenly, she rushed up and shook the queen hard, with extremely crazy movements.
"Queen, you killed Yunfei, Yunfei was clearly poisoned to death! Give me back my daughter, give me back my daughter!" Madam Li shouted bitterly.
When she thought of Li Yunfei and her poor daughter, she could no longer restrain herself.
The queen was already weak, and she felt a splitting headache when Madam Li shook her so violently.
"You ignored my daughter and made my daughter the scapegoat in order to save your son!" Madam Li gnashed her teeth and almost fell into a state of madness, "Yunfei died so unjustly, she will not let you go even if she becomes a ghost!" "Come here, come here!" The queen shouted loudly and called the maids outside: "Quick, pull this lunatic out!" Several maids hurried forward and pulled Madam Li up and pulled her out the door. "I dream of Yunfei every day. She said that she died unjustly and she hated you! You wait, Yunfei will come back to find you, she will turn into a ghost to find you! Hahaha!" Madam Li hated the queen when she thought of Yunfei. Her Fangfei died so miserably. Yunfei finally became the fourth imperial concubine and thought she could enjoy wealth and glory, but she didn't expect to die in the hands of the queen. The queen's eyes were wide open, as if she was extremely frightened. She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, fell on the bed, and fell into a coma again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The maid kept shouting.
Gradually, the voice seemed to change, revealing a gloomy taste.
"Mother, mother... Mother, I died so tragically, so tragically... Give me back my life..." With a low cry, the queen suddenly opened her eyes, as if she saw Li Yunfei's wronged soul, blood gushing from all seven orifices, so horrible.
"Go away, go away! Go away!" The queen shouted at the maidservant serving beside her.
She kept shrinking her body in the bed, muttering: "It's not me who hurt you, don't come to me, go away, go away, don't come to me!"
The maidservants looked at each other, the queen, is she crazy?
Since Madam Li left, the queen has dreamed of Li Yunfei every night, her mental weakness is extremely weak, and she keeps muttering crazy words. Gradually, the news that the queen is crazy spreads wildly in the palace.
Ye Yao heard the news and rushed to Zhongcui Palace to see the queen, but saw her sitting on the bed, grabbing her hair and muttering: "No, don't hurt me, don't hurt me!" Ye Rao was extremely frightened and rushed forward. When she got to the queen, the queen suddenly hid back and looked at Ye Rao with horror. Ye Yao carefully comforted her and said: "Mother, I am Rao'er, I came to see you." The queen's face showed a trace of confusion. After a while, she seemed to remember and said: "Rao'er, Rao'er, my Rao'er..." Ye Rao looked at the queen's expression and felt very uncomfortable. He slowly reached out his hand to tidy up her hair.
The queen looked stunned. She looked at Ye Rao's hand and suddenly her eyes widened. She waved Ye Rao's hand away and shouted, "Go away. You are not Rao'er. You are Li Yunfei. Yes, you are that bitch. You are here to take my life. Go away, go away. Go away. I am not afraid of you!"
The queen closed her eyes and waved her hands vigorously. Ye Rao had no choice but to step back a few steps. Looking at the queen's crazy state, her heart almost sank to the bottom.
Ye Feixi was imprisoned, and the queen was crazy now. The power she had always relied on was gone.
Why is this happening? Why did it suddenly become like this?
Ye Rao's expression was very confused. Suddenly, the woman who always smiled calmly flashed in her mind.
Yes, it was her, Ouyang Wu. Everything became different after she came!
Fourth brother wanted to deal with her, so he became like this!
The queen mother went crazy to save fourth brother!
It's all because of Ouyang Wu, it's all because of her, it's all because of her. If she hadn't appeared, if she had destroyed her earlier, how could such a thing happen now?
A sharp look appeared on Ye Rao's delicate and charming face, and she turned and ran out.
She snatched the long sword from the guard at the door and ran out of the palace angrily.
She now had only one idea in her mind, she was going to Ning Wang Mansion, she was going to kill Ouyang Wu, as long as Ouyang Wu died, everything would be fine!
When she rushed to Ning Wang Mansion with a fierce and passionate blood, holding the long sword, Ouyang Wu was not in the mansion.
Only some maids and servants were left working in the mansion. When they saw Ye Rao rushing in with a long sword in hand, they were stunned, but they saw that Ye Rao searched Ning Wang Mansion inside and out, but still could not find Ouyang Wu.
Ye Rao waved the long sword in her hand wildly, chopping everything she saw to the ground. In just a moment, the hall was in a mess, and many antique jades were smashed to pieces.
A group of maids hid aside, not daring to say a word.
Ye Rao's delicate face was almost distorted, with a hideous and resentful look. She grabbed one of the trembling maids, looked fierce, and said, "Tell me, where is Ouyang Wu?"
The maid was frightened and pale, and only trembled and said, "Go, go, go to Anyang Wangfu."
Ye Rao had no princess demeanor at this moment. She walked like the wind, her skirt fluttering, and she ran towards Anyang Wangfu with a long sword in her hand.
Because she was a twin, Princess Anyang's belly was much bigger than that of ordinary people. Prince Anyang was always afraid that Prince Anyang would make a mistake, so he asked Ouyang Wu to come to the palace from time to time to diagnose Princess Anyang's pulse. Naturally, sometimes they also exploited Ouyang Wu's labor and asked her to make some snacks for the princess.
Ouyang Wu sat at the table, helped Princess Anyang to check her pulse, and smiled: "Don't worry, everything is fine."
King Anyang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the princess with a smile on his face.
Now he is more and more looking forward to the child in the princess's belly, just thinking that when the month is full, he will have two big fat boys.
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing, they heard a commotion outside. Before they came to their senses, they saw Ye Rao rushing in, with red eyes and a long sword in his hand emitting a cold light in the sun.
Ye Rao was murderous when she saw Ouyang Wu. She raised her sword and stabbed Ouyang Wu's vitals.
As long as Ouyang Wu was eliminated, she would be able to sleep peacefully in the future! She wanted to kill her for a long time, and she hated her for a long time. This feeling of frustration and pain that made her feel all day long was vented at this time.
Ouyang Wu felt the sword coming towards her, her hair slightly raised, she stood there calmly, a hint of interest in her deep eyes, a hint of mockery on her lips, is Ye Rao tired of living?
Dare to fight with her!
"Ah!" Princess Anyang was so scared that she lost all color when she saw the long sword stabbing at her, she subconsciously protected her stomach, and fainted with her eyes rolled up.
Looking at the sharp sword almost piercing Ouyang Wu's chest, Ye Rao felt her heart pounding, but she didn't expect her arm to suddenly hurt, and the hand holding the long sword couldn't help but lose strength, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground.
King Anyang clamped Ye Rao's hand with one hand and threw her out. He didn't care that she was the emperor's daughter at all, and pressed her to the ground fiercely.
"Are you all dead? Pull her out, pull her out!" King Anyang's face was ashen, he was so angry that he shouted at the guards who rushed over.
When he saw Princess Anyang had gotten away, his heart almost jumped to his throat! His face was all bloodshot, and he shouted, "Wu'er Wu'er! What happened to Xin'er? Hurry up and take a look at her, hurry up and take a look at her!" He stepped forward and grabbed the unconscious Princess Anyang, feeling extremely anxious. Ouyang Wu hurriedly checked Princess Anyang's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief: "She was too frightened and almost had a miscarriage. Wu'er will prescribe a prescription and boil the medicine for the princess to drink. However, you should rest and take care of the fetus during this period and not walk around." When King Anyang heard that everything was fine, he felt relieved a little. He hurriedly nodded and said yes. Ouyang Wu prescribed the prescription and immediately ordered someone to get the medicine and boil it. King Anyang didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he personally fed the princess the medicine and helped her to sleep. King Anyang was also very scared when he thought of what happened just now. His princess was not young anymore. If she had a miscarriage because of her this time. He then remembered Ye Rao, the culprit of this incident, and could no longer hold back his anger, so he turned around and walked towards the palace.
When Prince Anyang arrived at the palace, the Emperor was paying respects to the Empress Dowager in the palace, so he went directly to the Empress Dowager.
The emperor looked at his only brother in surprise as he rushed in with a wronged look on his face. He stood in front of him and asked, "Axun, what's wrong with you?"
King Anyang looked at the two of them with a wronged look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, can't you tolerate my only child?"
When the emperor heard King Anyang ask this question, he was shocked and said, "What do you mean?"
King Anyang snorted coldly and said, "My child was almost killed by Ye Rao!"
The emperor and the queen mother were stunned, and then they showed anger. The queen mother leaned forward slightly because of nervousness, and her face was very tense. She said, "Is this true?"
"How can I lie to you? Just now, Ye Rao actually ran to my house with a long sword in his hand to make trouble. Poor Xin'er, she was too frightened and almost hurt the baby in her belly!" King Anyang said that he was sad, his expression was sad in anger, and there were almost tears in his eyes.
Everyone knows that Prince Anyang has been infertile for many years. It was not easy for the princess to get pregnant. Now it's almost...
The Queen Mother and the Emperor were surprised and suspicious, but they were both very angry. Is Ye Rao crazy?
As if Prince Anyang remembered something, he continued, "If you don't believe it, you can call Wu'er to verify it. Wu'er was there at the time."
When the Queen Mother heard it, she hurriedly said, "Quickly summon Wu'er to the palace."
Ouyang Wu had already guessed it. As soon as the palace summoned her, she immediately entered the palace.
Ouyang Wu's face was aggrieved when she saw the Queen Mother and the Emperor. When the Queen Mother asked, she burst into tears.
Ouyang Wu wiped the tears from her face with her handkerchief and choked up, "I don't know how Wu'er offended the fourth princess. She actually wanted to kill me. It's nothing, but Wu'er was checking the pulse of the princess at that time. The princess was heavy and had difficulty moving. I saw the long sword stabbing straight at her, and almost, almost scared the princess..."
Seeing that what Anyang Wang said was confirmed by Wu'er, the Queen Mother's face could no longer hide the anger.
"How unreasonable, how unreasonable!" The Queen Mother has always disliked the unruly Ye Rao. Now that she saw that she almost killed the child in Princess Anyang's belly, she was even more disgusted.
The Emperor sat aside with a sullen face and said, "What a bastard!"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think, how should this matter be handled?"
The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother's anger and felt a strong anger in his heart. The Queen really raised a pair of good children! Ye Feixi broke his heart. Now he thought that he had indulged Ye Rao for so many years, but only made her more and more arrogant.
Sighing in his heart, the emperor said coldly: "Dismiss all the men who were with her, and lock her up."
"Yes!"
After a while, another eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, when Mr. Li left just now, he said that you must give this letter to your Majesty!"
The emperor was even more angry when he saw it, and threw the letter on the ground fiercely: "Imprison the fourth princess and never let her out for life!"
After reading the letter, Ouyang Wu found several key words, killing Li Fangfei, framing Ouyang Wu many times, and abusing male favorites...
All kinds of bad behaviors are simply outrageous!
After the emperor sat down, he finally took enough breath, and comforted King Anyang, and took King Anyang to the imperial study, saying that there were some state affairs to deal with.
Only the Queen Mother and Ouyang Wu were left. The Empress Dowager looked at Ouyang Wu with a dull look in her eyes, as if she was frightened. She suddenly felt that Ouyang Wu seemed to be much more haggard these days, and she felt a little bit sorry. Before, she asked the emperor to find a way to send Ye Chonghua to handle the case for Rong Suiyun's life. Now she felt that she seemed too selfish.
She sighed quietly. At least Rong Suiyun's life was safe now, which was also a blessing for Wu'er.
Ouyang Wu took her leave from the Empress Dowager and returned to the Ning Wang Mansion.
Ouyang Wu sent Zhulu away and walked alone in the garden. This garden was built by Ye Chonghua specifically for her, and many flowers and plants she liked were planted. Ouyang Wu looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and suddenly there was a touch of loneliness in her eyes.
She caught a glimpse of the swing in the garden, and went forward to sit on the swing, slowly swinging, and a handsome face appeared in her mind.
Ouyang Wu, immersed in her thoughts, listened to the gentle wind blowing by her ears, and was unaware of other things. Suddenly, she felt her waist tighten, as if something was holding her, and the force was so strong that she couldn't struggle at all. Her body fell backwards involuntarily, and she couldn't help but scream.
