Chang An looked at the Fire Fox, whose little head was still exposed. "It can detect it, no problem, but..."

Chang An was stunned when he said this, as if he had discovered a new world. "Have you really learned the language of animals?"

"I'm not as smart as you. You only read the book once and spent a whole morning with the fox spirit, and you've already mastered the animal language." Bei Mingxuan pinched Chang'an's nose. "I only understood its language by guessing."

Listening to Bei Mingxuan's words, Chang An's face was filled with pride. "Actually, my father's records were so detailed. I never thought that my father would have such an adventure."

"Yes, Mr. Qingfeng, no matter your talent or character, you are the only one I admire." Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an with a sincere face, "After you get out, you don't need to do anything. Bei Minghong and Bei Mingye will take care of it. Just take good care of my father and grandmother, understand? I don't want anything to happen to them."

"Okay." Chang'an agreed, "Take good care of yourself here. If anything happens, let Linghu notify me."

"rest assured."

Only then did Chang'an notice that Bei Mingxuan was the only one in the prison within the imperial palace. "Where is that?"

Bei Mingxuan followed Chang'an's gaze and said, "That's where I killed King Yi with my own hands."

“…” Chang’an stopped talking.

"Alright. It's cold here, let's go out." Bei Mingxuan urged, "Don't make me worry."

Changan had no intention of leaving, “Actually, I was thinking.

The prince is not a person who knows nothing, he just lacks the ability.

Since he has a way to control the emperor, and let me enter the prince's mansion with someone else's identity, does he want the power behind me?

But there is only one Southern Kingdom supporting him, and the only reason he needs such support is for the throne. But he has already obtained the throne, after all, the succession ceremony has been scheduled for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I always feel that there are still many things that are not connected.

Something flashed through Bei Mingxuan's mind for a moment, "Yes, when my father told me about this, I was filled with anger, but I overlooked a very important thing.

Have you noticed that every time the prince sees you, there is a flicker in his eyes, as if he is afraid of you?

So, how could he be willing to let someone he fears into his house?

"Scared?" Chang'an frowned. "It seems so, but I'd rather say that that look is disgusting."

Bei Mingxuan listened to Chang'an's words helplessly, "The most important thing is that he needs the emperor's favor. If it were me, I would definitely not let the emperor get into any accidents at this time. At least I would wait until I sit firmly on the throne of the emperor."

"I'll check!"

"Be careful." Bei Mingxuan was worried, but he knew that he couldn't stop Chang'an here. "How about... I'll accompany you."

"No!" Chang'an immediately stopped him. "Although we can't trap you here, it would be inappropriate for you to go out and be seen by others. It would also disrupt our plan."

The words fell.

Changan left quickly.

After leaving the prison, Chang'an went directly to the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Queen Mother." Manager Li walked into the hall, "Princess Xuan, please see me outside."

The Queen Mother looked at Li, a look of slight displeasure on her face. "I'm talking to the Queen right now, didn't you see?"

"Yes." Manager Li lowered his head in panic.

"Ignore her. Leave her waiting."

"Yes." Manager Li looked cautious and quietly retreated.

"Empress Mother." The Queen was suspicious and asked tentatively, "Don't you love Chang'an the most? It's so cold outside, why not let her in?"

"Beauty is the root of all trouble." The Queen Mother looked very embarrassed. "She has brought disaster to my two grandsons. The Emperor is also confused. I really don't know what he is thinking."

"..." The Queen was surprised that the Queen Mother actually said that Chang'an was a beauty who brought disaster. "My Queen Mother, in fact, this kind of thing is helpless. Since ancient times, heroes have always been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. Besides, Chang'an has already married into Prince Xuan's palace and become his princess. As for the Crown Prince... I also know a little about his character. Ultimately, Chang'an is not to be blamed."

"Queen, you're talking without any hesitation." The Queen Mother glanced at the Queen. "If this happened to you, Jia Ye'er, and you still said the same thing, I would admire you."

The queen smiled awkwardly, looked at the empress dowager and muttered to herself, "Does sitting and talking cause back pain?"

"Then what does the Empress Dowager have in mind? Now that the Emperor is in a coma, are we really going to hold the succession ceremony on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? I'm going to say something the Empress Dowager may not like to hear: I refuse to accept the Crown Prince's succession to the throne."

The Queen Mother said with a cold expression, "Then, are you willing to let your Ye'er succeed the throne?"

The queen was so happy that she almost blurted out the answer. She looked at the queen mother cautiously.

"If your Ye'er succeeds the throne, it won't just be one or two people who oppose him, but the entire court, both civil and military officials," the Queen Mother said. "Back then, the Emperor personally appointed Che'er as Crown Prince, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he had the Crown Prince perform the succession ceremony. It was the Emperor himself who said that in court. Could it be that you don't recognize it?"

"Empress Mother." The Queen immediately knelt on the ground. "It's not that I don't recognize you, but the Crown Prince's ability is simply not enough to shoulder the responsibility of my Shuzhou Kingdom. I hope Empress Mother will reconsider."

"Asshole!" The Queen Mother was furious, staring at the Queen. "You, the Queen, are saying this. The Crown Prince should at least call you Mother. No matter who becomes the Emperor in this harem, you are the most honored. Besides, the Crown Prince has no biological mother."

The Queen took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and looked at the Queen Mother.

I have always known that the Queen Mother dislikes me, but she also strongly disapproves of Bei Ming Che being the Crown Prince, let alone the future ruler of a country. But today he is so abnormal.

Especially when the emperor was unconscious at this time, he thought that the empress dowager would definitely help Bei Mingxuan to take the throne, but he did not expect that she would actually criticize Chang'an in front of him.

"I know I was wrong." The Queen could only admit her mistake. "I will order everyone to make good preparations for the Crown Prince's succession ceremony."

"Go down. Remember not to do anything shameful behind my back. You are the queen, the mother of my Shuzhou country." The queen mother looked tired, and the warning in her words was so obvious.

The Queen walked out of the Queen Mother's gate and ran into Chang'an.

"Chang'an greets the Queen Mother." Chang'an bowed softly.

"Get up." The Queen looked at Chang'an and sighed, "You are a child with a miserable life. I originally thought that the Queen Mother would make a decision for you, but I didn't expect..."

Chang An looked at the Queen, hesitant to speak, and shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, Mother."

"Go and see the Queen Mother," the Queen said, "I feel like she's acting a little strangely.

Maybe she has too many things on her mind. She has always liked you. Talk to her and help her relieve some of the stress. Maybe she will feel better.”
