Because just this one sentence made her certain that Yang Yueqi and the others had not met her.

Qi Xue put the peeled grapes into her mouth and said in a very good mood: "I will tell you a secret. You must do something for me."

This is not a negotiating tone.

Yang Zhao heard this without even raising his eyelids: "Sorry, I'm not interested in secrets."

Qi Xue picked up another grape and asked, "Didn't you just ask what the relationship between Miao Yun and your sister-in-law is?" She looked at Yang Zhao with a half-smile, "Miao Yun is Liu Yue, and Liu Yue is Miao Yun. She is your sister-in-law."

What?

Yang Zhao's eyes moved slightly.

Just as she was about to speak, a big hand held her hand down, and then a handkerchief gently wiped the juice left on her fingers when she peeled the grapes, and then a plate of peeled grapes was placed in front of her.

"Princess, moisten your throat first."

Yang Zhao was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at the man beside him.

Mo Junran personally pinched a grape for her, and when she looked slightly stunned, he placed it next to her mouth, "Ah, open your mouth."

Yang Zhao: ...?

She blinked her eyes, and her fan-like eyelashes seemed to carry a tempting question mark. However, in the end, she still obediently opened her mouth and cooperated, allowing him to put the peeled grapes into her mouth.

"Princess, is it sweet?"

Although Yang Zhao didn't understand what he was doing, he still cooperated: "Sweet."

"Then the princess can eat another one."

"Mm, so sweet, the ones I feed my little darling are just different..."

Qi Xue, who was treated as invisible: ...? ?

But just at this moment.

From outside came a eunuch's announcement: "The Emperor has arrived—"

Emperor Huichen was supported by eunuchs when he entered.

"Stand up."

Emperor Huichen sat at the top, and with a smile on his old face, which looked rather haggard due to illness, he spoke to the people kneeling below.

Listen to the voice, it is very kind.

He didn't bring many people with him, only a eunuch. He looked at the three people who stood up and said with a smile, "Yu'er, I heard that the wound on your face has been healed by the miracle doctor. Raise your head and let your uncle take a look."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao calmly raised his head.

Qi Xue thought to herself that this was not good.

She didn't expect Emperor Huichen to come, let alone come so soon, but she didn't receive any news at all, which gave her a bad feeling.

"Father..."

Qi Xue took a step forward and was about to speak.

Emperor Huichen raised his hand to interrupt him: "Feng'er, I'm talking to Yu'er, please go out first."

Qi Xue frowned.

But she didn't dare to disobey. When she left, she looked at Yang Zhao deeply, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

She thought Yang Zhao was dead.

Little did she know that when Emperor Huichen saw Yang Zhao's face, he had the same reaction as her. He was slightly stunned, and looked straight at Yang Zhao with a hint of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

No.

I should say, looking at her face.

"picture."

“So similar!”

Emperor Huichen murmured as he stood up and walked straight to Yang Zhao without asking the eunuchs to help him.

He reached out and wanted to touch her face.

Just as Yang Zhao was about to dodge, a big hand grabbed Emperor Huichen's hand first. The force seemed to be quite strong, and one could clearly see Emperor Huichen frowning in pain.

"Who are you? Let His Majesty go."

The eunuch hurried forward.

Emperor Huichen dismissed the eunuchs and his eyes fell on Mo Junran. When he saw his face clearly, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly.

However, Emperor Huichen did not say anything.

When he looked at Yang Zhao again, his eyes had softened, and he said gently, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

"I will have someone arrange new accommodation for you. This palace is still not comfortable enough."

"Is there anything you like?"

"Forget it. You've been away from Bianjing for so long, you probably don't know where to go. I'll take care of it and arrange it for you. You can have a good rest and don't worry about anything else."

After saying this, Emperor Huichen left.

But just a few days.

A princess's mansion appeared out of nowhere.

Of course, it didn't just appear out of thin air. Instead, Emperor Huichen directly cleaned up the mansion in the best location in Bianjing City and gave it to Yang Zhao. This was the first princess in the entire Qi State to be given a mansion and a large street.

A large street surrounding the princess's mansion was also granted.

Once again, the world knew how much the old emperor doted on "Princess Yu".

After hearing the news, Qi Xue felt very uncomfortable.

“It shouldn’t be like this!”

That day, Emperor Huichen appeared in the palace. She thought that after seeing Yang Zhao, Emperor Huichen would recognize that she was a fake princess, and Yang Zhao would definitely not survive.

But who knew that Yang Zhao was not dead.

But somehow, Emperor Huichen not only did not kill her, but also rewarded her with a house and a large number of shops.

It turned out that he still regarded her as 'Princess Jade'.

Qi Xue felt something was wrong.

But she never found a chance to meet Yang Zhao again, and the people she sent to look for him did not go well. Not only did they fail to find him, but many of her people disappeared inexplicably. She was also frequently criticized by those old guys in the government affairs she handled.

"Chen Hua, find a way to check it out."

"By the way, doesn't our man still accompany the emperor? Start it up and have him find a way to find out what the emperor talked about with Yang Zhao that day." Qi Xue instructed the guard Chen Hua.

"yes."

But that night.

Chen Hua died silently in the pond in Qi Xue's courtyard. When he was found, his body was swollen. After the coroner checked, he found out that Chen Hua died from the venom of a bee's tail sting.

And there happened to be a beehive next to the pond.

The result was that Chen Hua was unlucky. He was stung by a bee when passing by the pond, and died of poisoning after jumping into the lotus pond.

What a ridiculous way to die.

But all the signs showed this, and Qi Xue had no choice but to let her doubts go. But soon when another guard beside her died, she finally confirmed that someone was deliberately purging the people around her.

And she suspected the object.

It's her father!!

Emperor Huichen.

Because the government affairs she handled these days were always criticized by the elders for various reasons, Emperor Huichen used this as an excuse to start taking back the power in her hands. However, Emperor Huichen himself was seriously ill and had no energy to deal with it, so he handed it over to...'Princess Yu'.

Yes.

Princess Yu is replacing her.

It's ridiculous.

Today, Qi Xue disagreed with a cabinet minister in the court and reprimanded him. Then Emperor Huichen appeared. Not only did he reprimand her for her incompetence and asked her to return to her own prince's residence to reflect, he also announced in public that Princess Yu... was officially attending the court.

He also temporarily lived in the Eastern Palace to handle state affairs for Emperor Huichen.

She was completely replaced.

Qi Xue couldn't believe it.

In just over a month, she was completely replaced, and there were still people in the court who supported her, and there were quite a few of them.
