Today is even more outrageous.

That ignorant emperor had actually begun to covet the military power in his hands!

"Your Majesty, you must think this through carefully."

In the study of the palace, Yanming was wearing a thick cloak, his little face was pale, and even his lips were not very bloody.

But it was this appearance that forced the Regent to look at her straight in the eye, and even the evil thoughts in his eyes had to be deeply hidden.

If Yanming had not been there to give him advice during this period, I'm afraid that not even one of the ministers close to him would have been able to be saved. Yanming made a great contribution in this matter.

On the contrary, none of the counselors and retainers he had previously trusted could offer any advice at the critical moment.

On weekdays, they are all better than each other at eating, drinking and having fun. But in fact, they are a bunch of good-for-nothings, not as good as a woman!

This fact displeased the Regent, but now was the time to use someone, and Yanming could help him a lot, forcing him to restrain his attitude and slowly sit up straight. "If you have any ideas, just say it."

"This king trusts you."

Yanming raised his lips and smiled.

But her smile wasn't an emotion, it was just an expression. "Actually, there's no need for me to say anything more. Your Highness should have figured it out by now."

"The Emperor's vigilance against you has not only been there for the past two days. Instead of trying to cope with it, you should try to find the real reason."

Yan Ming's words made the Regent's eyes light up slightly, but the light quickly dimmed again. "It's just that his wings have hardened. There's no real reason."

"This king has always understood that as long as that brat finds the right opportunity, getting rid of me will be the first thing he will do."

Yanming remained noncommittal. "Your Highness, do you think now is the 'right opportunity'?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Without meeting the Regent's gaze, Yanming added some charcoal to the brazier in front of him, making the brazier burn even more vigorously.

It was only early autumn, but Yanming felt so cold that he felt even the bones were cold. He could only barely survive by wearing thick clothes and staying around a charcoal fire all day.

I've seen doctors and tried all the rare treasures, but nothing has worked.

The brazier was burning red, and Yanming spoke gloomily, "Now, the Southern Border is eyeing our dynasty covetously. The Northern Wilderness has been fighting for three to five years with only mixed results and no victory. Not to mention the constant natural and man-made disasters in various places. Our dynasty is not a peaceful place."

"Let's not talk about the Southern Frontier, as it's guarded by the Queen's father and brother. But the commander of the Northern Wasteland is your confidant. Our dynasty doesn't have enough military commanders. If we overthrow you at this time, would it really be a good thing for the Emperor?"

If the Regent's previous posture seemed a bit pretentious, now he was truly serious. "So, what does Yanming mean?"

"Obviously, the timing wasn't right, but the Emperor still took action. Has Your Highness ever considered why?"

Seeing the Regent's thoughtful yet confused eyes, Yanming lowered his head and muttered in his heart, "Idiot!"

If the Regent didn't have some real skills in fighting, she would have suspected that the title of Regent was exaggerated!

"Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors recently."

What Yanming was talking about was naturally the rumor that the emperor's identity was questionable.

But the Regent burst into laughter when he heard it, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Yanming, although you are smart, you are still too young." As if he had found his own sense of existence in this matter, the Regent raised his chin slightly, inadvertently taking on a preaching look.

She didn't even let go of the smile on her face as she spoke, "You've never been to the palace, so you naturally don't know how strict the harem's guards are. Besides, the birth of a dragon heir is a big deal!"

"At that time, Kunning Palace was not surrounded by heavy security, but it was definitely under strict security. After all, the one who crawled out of the Queen's belly might be the future emperor, so we had to be cautious."

"It is absolutely impossible for the late queen to replace the dragon with the phoenix under such circumstances!"

The Regent said, taking a sip of tea. "What's more, at that time, I was still young and hadn't left the palace to start my own household. I stayed by my brother's side, waiting for the birth of his eldest son."

"At this moment, there is absolutely no possibility like what you said!"

After the words fell, the Regent anticipated how Yanming would react.

But, no.

Yanming just sat in the distance, with her head lowered and her hands stretched out, letting the burning charcoal fire slowly warm the temperature of her palms. Her indifferent expression made the Regent's breathing slightly stagnate, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Your Highness, do you really think that the harem is well guarded, or do you think... that the late queen, a woman, simply doesn't have that ability?" Yan Ming said as he turned his gaze away.

There was a playful smile in his eyes, "If the one who did this thing of stealing the dragon and replacing the phoenix was the young prince at the time, do you think you can do it?"

“I…this king…”

The Regent opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He just put himself in the situation a little and realized that he could do it!

It's just that at that time, I didn't have such thoughts at all. The reason why I thought it was impossible at the beginning was just as Yan Ming said.

He never took those women in the harem seriously, even if they eventually became the high and mighty empress dowager!

After coming to his senses, the Regent broke out in a cold sweat. He had never realized that he subconsciously felt that those women were weak and unbearable.

Which woman who might survive to the end in the harem is not a person with a complicated mind and a keen sense of intelligence?

"So which rumor is that..."

Yanming finally stood up. His originally pale face had become a little rosy from the charcoal fire, but he looked even more unhealthy. "I have a past relationship with the Imperial Concubine in the palace. Your Highness knows this."

Thinking of Lin Chunhuan, the Regent narrowed his eyes and waited quietly for what would happen next.

Fortunately, Yanming did not disappoint him. He reached into his sleeve and pulled out a letter. "I believe the contents here will be of interest to His Majesty."

When he received the letter, there was still some suspicion in the Regent's eyes, but after just a few glances, his eyes gradually became shocked.

After seeing the end, I couldn't utter a word, and there was a look of confusion on my face, not knowing whether I should believe it or not.

"Resurrection? A true royal family? This..." His emotions were agitated to the extreme, but the Regent forced a smile, "Miss Yanming, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but the content above is too unbelievable!"

"It doesn't matter whether the prince believes it or not." Yanming took two steps forward.

Although he still had the same expression, the Regent felt oppressed for a moment, and even his breathing became faster.
