Chapter 140

"Let's break up..."

Concubine Jing on the side had already understood everything. She keenly believed that this was a good opportunity to bring down the prince, so she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! We can't let them go! The thief who poisoned me has not been caught yet! There is no one among the guests.

You know!"

Qin Cang looked extremely haggard. He leaned weakly on the back of the chair behind him. He didn't know whether he understood or not. His voice was rough and he said vaguely, "Well, the prince stays, and King Xuan stays..."

Qin Junze panicked and wanted to flee.

Qin Xuanling took a step forward and blocked his way, "Prince, where are you going?"

Qin Junze felt as if he had hit a hard wall, causing him to stumble under his feet. His teeth were trembling, but he still said harshly,

"Listen... listen to your father and return to the palace. Uncle... farewell, uncle, don't stop me."

Qin Xuanling snorted coldly and looked at him with a half-smile, "The emperor is seriously ill. As a prince, why don't you sit in the palace and stay on the emperor's bed as a filial piety?"

"Yes Yes……"

Qin Junze turned around in panic again, thinking that his father had never blamed him, so he threw himself at the emperor's feet, fell on the emperor's knees, and started wailing in tears.

"Father, father..."

Qin Cang tremblingly reached out and touched his hair, and said sadly, "Junze... you are my eldest son!"

Qin Junze cried louder out of fear and regret.

Everyone left the palace as fast as they were fleeing for their lives.

This scene that happened during the coronation ceremony became the most closely guarded secret among the guests tonight. Everyone was wondering whether the wine in the glass handed over by the prince was poisoned.

Yun Xihe was slow on his feet and had something to hide in his heart, so he fell behind others.

Until she got into the carriage, there was still an unexpected and reasonable emotion filling her brows.

She knew that the prince had no one available at the moment, but she never expected that he would actually be reduced to poisoning himself.

Seeing Yun Xihe's worried look, Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask, "Princess, could it be that the prince didn't act according to the plan we expected? How come this slave didn't hear the imperial edict to punish him."

Yun Xihe did not hide the prince's plan to frame the Yun Mansion and Prince Xuan from these maids. She always used people without suspicion and distrusted people with suspicion.

Yun Xihe sighed, "Maybe the emperor never thought that he would spoil such a stupid and ruthless son, who would kill the king and his father..."

To put it bluntly, Qin Junze was destined to be a master from the moment he was born.

Not only was he the eldest son of the queen's son, but because the emperor had experienced the difficulty of seizing the legitimate son and did not want his son to experience such cruel disputes again, he made him the heir apparent early.

Although Qin Cang had many shortcomings, such as being suspicious, saving face, and liking to whitewash the status quo, he was conscientious in his position as emperor, and he was considered a leader in politics and harmony in the world.

Moreover, he also had a long-term vision. By suppressing the aristocratic family and trying to recruit talents, he was paving the way for Qin Junze so that he would have useful people when the prince ascended the throne in the future.

But Qin Junze is more like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse who cannot withstand a blow.

If the world is always prosperous and stable, and all civil and military officials in the country are honest and upright, he can still maintain this great prosperity even if he is an idle emperor.

It's just that... impermanence is the greatest normal state. Dashun will not always be prosperous and stable. People's hearts are unpredictable, and God's will is also difficult to control.

Yun Xihe suddenly understood now that everything was actually traceable.

In his previous life, there was no difference between Qin Junze, who abandoned the city and fled when troops approached, and Qin Junze, who jumped over the wall in a panic in this life.

Xiao Tao was a little confused, "Then...how will the emperor handle this matter..."

Yun Xihe opened the curtain of the car, and his pupils became dark in the darkness of night, "Our emperor, although he dotes on his children, is also very clear-sighted. He never likes to deceive himself and others, so just wait."

Xiao Tao then breathed a sigh of relief, "Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief! I hate that His Highness the Crown Prince humiliated the princess before, but now he has been punished for his evil deeds!"

Yun Xihe said as if nothing had happened,

"What does it mean that evil will be punished? Everyone is just relying on their abilities. His brain can't think of many clever tricks. After all, your princess and I are the better ones!"

Xiaotao laughed heartily, "What the princess said is absolutely true!"

Smiling, she thought of something again and said worriedly, "Princess Princess, if the Queen takes action, will there be any changes..."

Yun Xihe chuckled and didn't care much, "Queen? Don't worry, there are people waiting to clean up the mess."

——

The storm at the coronation ceremony was like the explosion of fireworks. Even if you closed your eyes, you could still hear its sound, making it impossible to ignore its existence.

Empress Xue had already fallen asleep. Since she was imprisoned in Kunning Palace, this was the first time in the past few months that she was woken up from a deep sleep by someone.

She opened her eyes and looked at Eunuch Tian who was standing beside the bed, her eyes widened with fear on her face, "Why are you here?"

Eunuch Tian sighed deeply, "Mother, something bad is going on."

Only then did Queen Xue realize that the prince had done such a treacherous thing behind her back. She fell down on the bed in a daze, still unable to believe it.

"Junze, how dare he do that?"

She thought that the prince still listened to her words, so he would come into the palace every now and then and discuss with her how to forge letters and bring down the Yun family and King Xuan.

These days, she only feels that even sleeping is much sweeter. The scenes in her dreams are all about leaving the Kunning Palace, which is like a tomb of the living dead. Now, all of this has been ruined by his stupid son.

"Go find the imperial doctor!"

Queen Xue looked like she was crazy, and suddenly raised her head and tugged on Eunuch Tian's sleeve, "As long as the emperor is fine, the prince will be fine too!"

Eunuch Tian's eyes flashed, and he bent down along the force of Queen Xue's tugging on him. He did not break away, but sighed long and pointedly,

"Queen, please think clearly... When the Emperor wakes up completely, the Prince will..."

Queen Xue's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment her eyes burst out with a burning light, "You mean..."

Eunuch Tian nodded slightly and took advantage of the situation to encourage, "Mother, you cannot miss this opportunity. Your Highness's future depends on your thoughts!"

Empress Xue's frown became more and more intense, and there was a struggle in her eyes. On one side was the husband she had shared a bed with for more than 20 years, and on the other side was the life and future of her biological son.

It was difficult for her to make a choice for a while, but this fate-changing decision had to be made urgently.

After a while, Eunuch Tian finally heard the correct words from the Queen. He immediately stood up and pulled back the hem of his clothes from her hands.

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean."
