In the quiet night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the palace was even more gloomy. King Yan was seriously ill and unconscious, and might die at any time. In the palace where the imperial concubine was, a mother and daughter were plotting and discussing.
Coming changes.
Now is an extraordinary period, and Concubine Yan Gui knew in her heart that once King Yan passed away, the insidious and cunning King Yun would take action, and then their mother and daughter would be in crisis.
As the most beautiful woman in the Yan Kingdom, Concubine Yan still looks good even when she is middle-aged. Especially after taking the Beauty Pill, her skin becomes more tender and tighter, making her look less than thirty years old, like a peach on a branch.
Make men salivate.
Princess Ji Yue'er also inherited her mother's appearance, but she couldn't hold her breath because she was still young. She said anxiously: "My father is about to die, what should we do? The third brother has become like this again, crazy."
Like..."
With a frown on her charming face, Concubine Yan lowered her voice and said: "Don't worry about him, this guy is just a piece of shit who can't go to the banquet, he is a worthless person. I still want to help him to a high position, but it seems impossible now."
It’s not my biological son anyway, let him live or die.”
"What..." Ji Yue'er was shocked and said in disbelief: "The third brother is not your biological son?"
Concubine Yan rolled her eyes at her daughter and scolded: "What's all the fuss about?" Then she told a dusty past event.
It turns out that Yan Guifei fell into a fight among the concubines not long after entering the palace. Although she defeated many concubines because of her unparalleled beauty and ruthless methods, she also understood that if she wanted to be completely strong, she had to rely on her mother and her son. After all, she was young.
Everyone will grow old one day in the future, and King Yan's favor is temporary. Based on this, she concealed the truth and staged a big show.
First, she faked her pregnancy to prevent King Yan from getting close to her. She stuffed things into her skirt and lived in seclusion. She deliberately left the pretty maids around her to go to other palaces to accompany King Yan. Since ancient times, emperors have been so lustful. As time went by, King Yan would linger around.
In the gentle countryside, there is no time to come and visit.
When the baby was about to be born, Yan Guifei's capable eunuch leader had already obtained a newborn baby outside the palace and quietly brought it in. That baby was Ji Cheng, the third prince who was now contaminated with drugs.
The whole thing was done so well that everyone who knew the details was silenced, so that no one knew the secret. In the past, Concubine Yan was okay with this son, and she was raised by a wet nurse since he was a child, but after all, there was no blood relationship, and besides
She just used the other person and didn't show any real love.
Now that Ji Cheng has failed to live up to expectations and has become like this, she is very angry. She feels that all her previous efforts have been in vain. She had previously thought about making Ji Cheng the throne and become the new emperor in the future, but she was a puppet manipulated by her. She has to control this.
The country, now it seems that the plan has failed, and seeing Ji Yue'er worrying about Ji Cheng, she told the truth.
Ji Yue'er was stunned by what she said. She never expected that the person she had called third brother for many years was not related by blood. No wonder she sometimes felt that her brother was not too close. Now it seems that there is a reason.
After understanding the reason, Ji Yue'er couldn't help but sigh, and then said with emotion: "It seems that our side can't defeat King Yun after all, and the prince will have to succeed in the future. Fortunately, the eldest brother is an upright person and should be able to govern the country well."
However, Concubine Yan snorted coldly and said: "You're an honest ass. Don't look at how sanctimonious Ji Lin is on weekdays. In fact, he's not a good person. I've shown up here several times. When there was a banquet in the palace, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention."
, he always looked at me with an abnormal look, as if he wanted to push me to the ground and fuck me on the spot."
Ji Yue'er was stunned for a moment, and then she giggled in response, "You are exaggerating, that's not true. Although you have the beauty of a country, you are more than ten years older than the prince, and you are an elder. How could he possibly
If I have an undue desire for you, I guess you are too narcissistic and feel that all the men in the world want to take you as their own."
Concubine Yan said sternly: "What's so funny? I've seen so many people in this palace, how can I not see through his character? This kid is quite scheming. Now he is doing it with his tail between his legs for others to see, just for the sake of successfully inheriting the throne in the future."
, if he succeeds, I'm afraid he will be even more lustful than your father."
"That's normal. The king of a country naturally has three palaces and six courtyards." Ji Yue'er joked with a smile. After all, she grew up in a palace and she was very accustomed to these things.
Concubine Yan hummed: "The monarch of a country is just a joke. Do you think that old thief King Yun is really loyal to him? He is just using him. Even if Ji Lin succeeds to the throne, he will be just a puppet at the mercy of others. In the future
Sooner or later, he will be deposed by King Yun."
Ji Yue'er was surprised: "So, King Yun has the ambition to seek power and usurp the throne."
"That's natural...and we, the two of us, are the thorn in his side and must be removed."
Ji Yue'er couldn't help but feel anxious, "Then what should we do? Should we ask the prime minister to dispatch the Northern Route Army to prepare for emergencies?"
Concubine Yan shook her head and said: "Impossible. According to common sense, only your father can mobilize the four-pronged army. Neither King Yun nor the prime minister has this power. No matter who uses the army, they are suspected of rebellion, which will be very disadvantageous.
, so the Northern Route Army cannot be used at the moment."
Ji Yue'er said anxiously: "Then let's just wait here to die. If my father dies, King Yun will take action to control the capital. I'm afraid you and I will both be poisoned."
Concubine Yan stood up, walked lightly to the window, looked at the dark night outside, and sighed: "Under the current situation, we can only rely on the prime minister. It's just that the troops stationed near the capital are under the control of King Yun. Our situation is not good."
Wonderful, fortunately, there is another trump card, and that is Qiu Yu, who is already on his way back. I hope your father can hold on for a little longer and he can arrive in the meantime, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
The night passed very long, and Prime Minister Lang Haohan also stayed up all night. The current situation was not favorable for his side, which made him anxious, so he could only try his best to deploy controls and nip the trouble in the bud.
In the early morning, King Yan finally failed to survive. He completely lost his breath and passed to another world. The palace was filled with the sound of crying, and the Queen Mother was also in tears. This was a gift from a white man to a black man, so naturally she was extremely sad.
The death knell rang throughout the capital, and civil and military officials entered the palace one after another in vehicles. Princess Yanshan also appeared in the palace, her eyes red and swollen from crying, but suddenly she found that King Yun had not come, and the prince was nowhere to be seen.
There were hundreds of officials gathered in the main hall. Ji Yurong was annoyed and frowned: "Where is King Yun? Why haven't you come here yet? Where did the prince go?"
