"So take care of it if the imperial physician says so. You don't have to go to the study if you want to. Oh, Xiao Ba, you vomited blood. I'll have someone send you some blood supplements later."
Yan Cheng: "...Thank you, Father."
It also replenishes blood. He has received so many blood-replenishing things since entering the palace.
But in fact, he doesn't really need blood replenishment.
I vomited blood today, so I must drink some blood-replenishing medicine. Tsk, I’m going to have a nosebleed again.
Yan Cheng and Emperor Jingxi spent little time together and their relationship was unfamiliar, but it was different for the Seventh Prince. He always had something to say in front of Emperor Jingxi.
A simple character who is smart but has low emotional intelligence and is not cunning.
He asked directly: "Father, who sent those assassins?"
When asked this question, Emperor Jingxi turned pale.
"Those assassins actually said that Qingyang hired them to kill people in the hunting grounds. How is that possible? How could Qingyang do such a thing?"
Emperor Jingxi was very angry. Those assassins wanted to blame someone but didn't even find a reasonable candidate. He regarded Qingyang as his own sister, so why would Qingyang assassinate him?
He thought the assassins were coming to kill him.
Even if the assassin confessed that he came to kill the young man in the hunting ground, he would not believe it.
Those young men are no more worthy of assassination than him.
Emperor Jingxi was wondering who wanted to kill him.
The King of Chu? The King of Ning? The King of Han? Or another vassal king?
He thought of many suspects, but he didn't think the assassin's confession was true.
However, after further investigation, it was discovered that it was Princess Qingyang who had hired assassins to cause trouble in the hunting ground.
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Princess Qingyang knelt on the cold floor, and Emperor Jingxi stood above her, looking down at her with a complicated expression.
"Why did you do that?"
Emperor Jingxi was deeply hurt when he learned the truth. "Hasn't I treated you well enough? Qingyang, you are the only one I care about most among all my sisters."
"I will grant you the best fiefdom, choose a good husband for you, and make your daughter a princess with a fiefdom. After Mu Song dies, I will summon you and your daughter to the capital..."
"How have I wronged you? Why did you betray me?"
Emperor Jingxi spoke in a dull tone, his voice filled with deep disappointment and anger.
Princess Qingyang kept silent, as if her soul had left her body and she was out of her mind. In his rage, Emperor Jingxi did not notice that she had lost a lot of weight in just half a month.
"Who is behind you?"
The emperor was suspicious. He did not believe the young man's story and thought that Princess Qingyang wanted to assassinate him.
——Qingyang would not suddenly find someone to assassinate him for no reason. This would not benefit Qingyang, so there must be someone behind Qingyang.
Princess Qingyang was still in a state of wandering spirit. Emperor Jingxi was very disappointed and felt that he had lost his brotherly love for her. He was about to punish her when the empress dowager hurried over.
He walked to the center of the hall and stood beside Princess Qingyang.
"My prince, Qingyang would never do such a thing. There must be something hidden behind this. She is your sister, you have to trust her!"
The Queen Mother had raised Princess Qingyang for many years and had long regarded her as her own daughter. She did not want her son and daughter to have an ugly quarrel.
Moreover, she understood Princess Qingyang and knew that although she had a flamboyant personality, she would never do such a treasonous thing as sending someone to assassinate the emperor.
"Mother, the evidence is irrefutable. How can I trust her?"
The Queen Mother was speechless and could only push Princess Qingyang.
"Qingyang, speak up and tell your royal brother that you didn't do that."
Emperor Jingxi looked at her again, feeling disappointed. This was the sister he had taken care of since she was a child.
"Qingyang, were those assassins sent by you? Do you want to kill me?"
He decided to give her another chance, if...
However, there was no if, and Princess Qingyang only said, "I found the assassin."
Emperor Jingxi's face was sullen, and the empress dowager pointed at her with a trembling finger: "Qingyang, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't intend to kill my brother, I only wanted to kill the young man."
Not only Emperor Jingxi did not believe this, but the Empress Dowager also did not believe it.
Why kill those young men without any grudge?
Princess Qingyang admitted her "crime" herself, and the topic could not continue.
At the empress dowager's request, Emperor Jingxi did not directly order her to be punished. Instead, he asked her to return to the Princess's Mansion and would deal with her later.
The lack of an imperial decree meant that there was still room for maneuver. The empress dowager tried to get Emperor Jingxi to give Princess Qingyang a lighter sentence.
However, only one night later, someone came to Princess Qingyang's mansion to report the death.
Princess Qingyang committed suicide.
After the morning court session, Emperor Jingxi received the suicide note left for him by Princess Qingyang.
[…Brother, this is all my fault. Please don’t implicate Ning An. She knows nothing…]
"You are willing to think about your daughter, why are you not willing to think about me?"
Emperor Jingxi murmured to himself.
Afterwards, Emperor Jingxi followed Princess Qingyang's wish and did not implicate Princess Ning'an. He even allowed her to live in the palace and enjoy the treatment of a princess.
Yan Cheng was not surprised by this discovery, after all, he was the one who knew how the plot was going to develop.
In the novel, the death of Princess Qingyang led to the entry of Princess Ning'an into the palace.
Later, Qu Zhaoyue helped Princess Ning'an who was bullied in the palace and gained her support.
Princess Ning'an will later meet the eldest grandson of the Gao family, one of the four major families in Changping, and develop feelings for them, and the two families will become friends.
Under the persuasion of Princess Ning'an, the Gao family, which never took sides, stood by Qu Zhaoyue. With the Gao family in the front, the other three families also secretly supported Qu Zhaoyue.
These four major families contributed a lot to Qu Zhaoyue's path to power.
After Qu Zhaoyue ascended the throne, they strongly supported him in eliminating those who were disobedient in the court.
When Yan Cheng first learned that this world was a fictional world, he had no intention of deliberately interfering with the development of the plot.
At that time, he thought that as long as he lived well, the plot had nothing to do with him.
By now he had realized Qu Zhaoyue's ill will towards him and the Seventh Prince, and he still suspected that Yang Guifei had poisoned Yan Zhaoyi.
——Should we disrupt the plot and make Qu Zhaoyue lose the support on her way to the throne?
——Qu Zhaoyue dislikes him and his brother so much. Will he and his brother still be able to get along after Qu Zhaoyue ascends the throne?
