The air is so quiet that it's scary,

The man said with a stern expression, "Do you think someone is trying to sow discord between me and the Dongling Kingdom by setting up a heir apparent?"

When Concubine Yin saw that the man started to relent, she immediately expressed her loyalty, "Yin'er has been His Majesty's since she married him. How could she join forces with outsiders to do such bad things?"

"An outsider? That's your eldest brother." The man sitting on the dragon throne narrowed his eyes slightly, making it difficult for people to figure out what he was thinking.

"When you marry, you obey your husband. Yin'er only has Your Majesty in her heart."

…

The man slowly walked to her side and gently helped her up.

"Yin'er, actually I have always wanted Wu'er to inherit the throne, but the ministers in the court think that he will rebel and think that you will hand over the Huaqi Kingdom to Dongling."

Concubine Yin timidly raised her eyes, showing her most endearing side as usual,

"What can Yin'er do to solve His Majesty's problems?"

Her words just fell into the emperor's trap. The man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe looked into her eyes seriously,

"Actually, the evidence has two sides. It can be said that Wu'er is treasonous, or it can be understood that Wu'er wants to annex the Dongling Kingdom to our Huaqi Kingdom."

Concubine Yin was stunned and took it for granted. She softened her stiff smile and said, "What does Your Majesty mean? I don't quite understand."

"My beloved, don't you understand? As long as Wu'er can prove to me that he is the prince of Huaqi Kingdom, I have reason to make him the prince." The man stared at her with a smile on his face.

…

…

"Mother, what did my father say? He wouldn't really believe the historian's words and expel me from the country." King Wu looked at the woman's return and immediately asked anxiously.

Concubine Yin glanced at her son in confusion and said with a trembling voice,

"Son, your father hopes that you will introduce...your uncle to the Huaqi Kingdom."

By introducing the ruler of a country to another country, the emperor's intentions are clearly revealed.

King Wu fell down on the stool with a look of horror on his face, "Father wants to..."

Before he finished speaking, Concubine Yin closed her eyes and nodded slowly.

"Mother, what should I do?" King Wu finally found his voice after a while and murmured to himself.

…

Concubine Yin Guifei calmed herself down, a trace of sinisterness gradually appeared in her eyes, and she already had a decision in her heart.

"Wu'er, write a letter to your uncle and introduce him to Huaqi Kingdom as your Majesty said."

…

"Did she really do this?" The queen raised her eyebrows suspiciously.

"Yes, although I am far away, I know some lip reading." The little palace maid lowered her head and explained.

"Okay, you've been out for a long time, go back."

The queen asked the chamberlain next to her to give her a bundle of gold and then said, "This money will be enough for your life after leaving the palace. When you are old enough, you can go out and get married."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Looking at the back of the palace maid, the queen looked thoughtfully at the bird's nest paste in front of her, slowly picked up a piece with a spoon, put it into her mouth, and tasted it carefully.

After a while, the bird's nest paste in her hand attracted a seemingly ordinary pigeon.

It wasn't until I saw the secret message that I showed a sincere smile.

——

昳绮宫,

"This meal doesn't look like the craftsmanship of an imperial kitchen."

The emperor has been in a much better mood since he saw the letter written by the third prince to the king of Dongling Kingdom, and he no longer deliberately ignored Concubine Yin as before.

Concubine Yin smiled tenderly and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Didn't His Majesty say last time that he hasn't tasted authentic Dongling cuisine for a long time? I made this myself. I hope Your Majesty likes it."

The emperor took the chopsticks, picked up the carrot in front of him, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Maybe it was because the letter was too powerful, or maybe he was too confident in the palace's defense, which made him lose the vigilance an emperor should have, and he completely failed to notice the desperate look and ruthlessness in the eyes of the woman next to him.

…

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you a little sleepy? Let me help you rest."

Concubine Yin gently shook his shoulders. Seeing that he didn't respond at all, she stood up and called the waiter next to her, and helped him to the bed together.

"You all go down, Your Majesty will rest here in this palace."

The chamberlain did not doubt that he was there, so he closed the door after going out and stood beside him obediently, waiting for the call as usual.

After everyone else had gone out, King Wu came out from behind the screen and asked, "Mother, what's going on, Father?"

King Wu pointed at the pale emperor with some fear, a look of horror on his face.

"What are you afraid of? He just passed out. Take out the things quickly."

King Wu quickly took out a small cloth bag from his arms.

…

…

The waning moon is distant, Wu Yun gradually fills the entire night sky, the cold wind is biting, and there is a roar outside the window, it seems like it will rain tonight.

"Father, you haven't gone to court for two days in a row?"

The man standing with his back to the window retracted his gaze, glanced at Wu He, and then asked,

"Is there any reason?"

"No, the news came from the Zhanqi Palace. It was said that His Majesty was feeling cold and weak, so he did not go to the morning court."

"Then who will handle the affairs between the DPRK and China?"

If he were still the prince, he would naturally go into the palace to handle these matters, but now that the East Palace has no owner, whoever handles the matter would mean the emperor's acquiescence.

"Your Majesty summoned the third prince into the palace yesterday."

"It seems that the letter from King Wu worked." The man nodded and closed his eyes in a lonely manner.

Qiao Xi, who was listening in the clouds and was cracking melon seeds, asked, "Except for the people in Concubine Yin's palace, has anyone else seen His Majesty?"

We are now at the later stage of the script. Although the original text did not write about Concubine Yin in detail,

But there is a paragraph where it is said that she once tried to coerce the emperor to control the princes. I don’t know if this is the plot now.

But Josie still gave them a friendly reminder.

Before she finished speaking, the man's eyes suddenly opened and he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Wu He,

"You must see my mother open this letter with your own eyes."

Wu He said "yes" and then retreated.

Indeed, it is more convenient for the Queen to go and check, but I don't know if she is willing. After all, she has never been to Concubine Yin's palace.

…

The night was like ink, the heavy rain fell like silver threads, and the muffled thunder was hidden in the black clouds. Suddenly, a silver snake-like lightning struck down from the sky, illuminating the main hall.

The queen who got the letter did not read it immediately, but asked Wu He,

"How is the eldest prince doing lately? Did he eat well?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the eldest prince has a good meal every day."

"..."

Wu He, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little confused as to why the Empress did not read the letter but asked him about the prince's current situation, but he still answered one by one.

The queen held the letter in her hands, not knowing what she was thinking, so Wu He had no choice but to risk it and said, "The eldest prince, please ask your empress to open it personally."

"No need."
