After assassinating the prince, Fang Xiuyuan survived but was banished to the cold palace.
Below the Queen was Qu Zhaoyue's biological mother, Yang Guifei. Moreover, Yang Guifei was a favored concubine. If she wanted to make things difficult for the people in the cold palace, it would be easy for her to do so.
It is conceivable that Fang Xiuyuan's future life will not be easy.
I don’t know if Fang Xiuyuan thought about this before she took action. Maybe she did, but she still resolutely made the decision to avenge her child.
Mother's love is really great. It can make a powerless woman do things that no one can predict.
But not every mother has great maternal love.
Yan Cheng, who was sitting in Xian Ya Palace on a good day, was sipping sweet tea slowly and thinking casually.
Concubine Yun Shu spoke directly as always: "Everyone in the court is saying that your father intends to appoint a crown prince. What are your thoughts?"
Concubine Yun Shu always glanced at Yan Cheng, which made him wonder as he was drinking tea whether Concubine Yun Shu was hinting at him - since you have a good relationship with your brother, why don't you die quickly and make way for him to ascend the throne.
Of course, this was just his suspicion.
Two years later, Yan Cheng drank poisoned tea again in Xian'ya Palace. He couldn't understand what Concubine Yun Shu was thinking. He was not a worm in Concubine Yun Shu's stomach.
He also couldn't understand why Concubine Yun Shu poisoned him in Xian'ya Palace, and it was a highly poisonous one at that.
If he died in Xian'ya Palace, wouldn't everyone in the world know that Concubine Yun Shu was an unkind mother?
By then, people all over the world will think that Concubine Yun Shu is an unkind mother, so will the Seventh Prince she raised be a good person too?
If the Seventh Prince ascends the throne, will the people of Daxia be made miserable by him, who was raised by a vicious woman?
Was it really Concubine Yun Shu who did something that was detrimental to the Seventh Prince's reputation?
Yan Cheng looked at the gorgeously made-up woman at the top and thought to himself, doesn't Concubine Yun Shu look like a brainless person?
Could it be that there is a traitor in Xian'ya Palace who deliberately wants to kill him to cause trouble for Concubine Yun Shu and the Seventh Prince?
He glanced calmly at the palace maids in the hall, thought for a moment, and shook his head inwardly.
Not likely.
A smart person like Concubine Yun Shu should be able to catch the nails that others have planted, right?
Or maybe someone in Xian'ya Palace thought his presence was too annoying and poisoned him on their own initiative?
The possibility is not high.
The person trained by Concubine Yun Shu shouldn't be so stupid as to not think about the impact that his death in Xian'ya Palace would have on Concubine Yun Shu Shu and the Seventh Prince, right?
Yan Cheng and Concubine Yun Shu have always had a disagreement. Every time Concubine Yun Shu asked a question using "you guys", it was always the Seventh Prince who answered first.
This time too.
The Seventh Prince reacted rather coldly after hearing what Concubine Yun Shu said: "I don't have any ideas. We can't be the candidate."
Not only them, but others as well, will not appoint a crown prince this time.
After the Seventh Prince finished speaking, Yan Cheng added in his heart.
"Are you blaming me?" asked Concubine Yun Shu.
"No."
The Seventh Prince immediately retorted, not because he was afraid that Concubine Yun would be sad, but because he was afraid that Yan Cheng would misunderstand that he was blaming his brother instead of his sister, who was born to the same mother as him.
He turned around nervously to look at his brother, and found that his brother smiled at him, which made him feel relieved.
Seeing their deep love for each other, Concubine Yun Shu's eyes darkened a bit, making her look like an unreasonable evil person.
He sneered with an ambiguous tone.
"It's up to you."
But she has her own ideas.
Yan Cheng and the Seventh Prince left the Xian'ya Palace. Concubine Yun Shu leaned calmly on the couch and softly instructed the palace maid to massage her legs, without a trace of emotion between her brows.
There is no precedent of twins ascending the throne in Daxia, but her children can set this precedent.
She, Yun Qiang, has never been a person who follows the rules.
Concubine Yun Shu was stunned.
Why did she come up with the idea of replacing a prince with a princess?
So what if they were twins? How could she, a person who never took rules seriously, care that the twins could not inherit the throne?
Concubine Yun Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
However, time has passed so long that she can no longer remember why she came up with the foolish idea of exchanging the child.
"Your Majesty, the kitchen has made some new snacks. Would you like to try some?" said Grandma Gao.
These words interrupted Concubine Yun Shu's deep thoughts. She looked at the beautifully shaped snacks and shook her head.
Whatever, it was she who did it, and time has passed, things have changed, and people are no longer the same. If I can't remember it, then don't think about it. It's not very important.

A few days later, Yan Cheng met Qu Zhaoxing privately in the restaurant under his name.
After a brief greeting, Yan Cheng told him frankly about the trials he had experienced in the past few days.
"If we ask others to help you return to the southwest, it may not be feasible. Right now, the emperor doesn't know the state of Uncle Chu's health. He is afraid that if you return, Uncle Chu will no longer have any concerns."
"I know, that's why I came to you." Qu Zhaoxing's face was cold. "If I had a way to go back, I wouldn't need to ask others for help."
"My father has never had any intention of disloyalty. He is just suspicious and always thinks that my father has ulterior motives towards the position under him."
Even though he knew that Yan Cheng was Emperor Jingxi's biological son, he still couldn't help but complain.
Ultimately, it was because he knew that Yan Cheng also disapproved of Emperor Jingxi.
"You didn't come to me today just to tell me you couldn't help me, did you? That's not like you."
Yan Cheng asked: "I'm curious about what I look like in your eyes."
Qu Zhaoxing thought for a moment and said decisively: "Revenge will be taken."
"That's not a nice thing to say, is it?" Yan Cheng rolled his eyes. "Since you're asking me for help, can't you say something nice? Aren't you afraid that I'll quit?"
"You're not that kind of person. Although you're vindictive, you keep your word. I believe you!"
"Thank you very much for your trust."
Yan Cheng said seriously, "Let's get back to the point. I'm afraid I can't get you back to the southwest by attacking others, but I can attack you."
"I had this idea before, but unless I was about to die, he wouldn't let me return to my father smoothly."
"That's right! You're going to die!"
Qu Zhaoxing frowned slightly, looking confused, obviously not quite understanding the deep meaning of Yan Cheng's words.
His originally peaceful expression gradually turned unhappy, revealing a hint of annoyance and anger.
"You don't really want me to return to my father half-dead, do you? Then maybe it won't be me who goes back to see my father off, but he will be the one to send me off."
If he died first, his father's condition would definitely be worse.
"Not half dead. Have you ever heard of a medicine that can make a person appear terminally ill while actually being healthy?"
Yan Cheng placed his hands under his chin, his eyes flickering with light and dark, revealing an unfathomable meaning.
Qu Zhaoxing seemed to understand Yan Cheng's profound meaning, and his eyes were instantly filled with bright light and anticipation.
"Do you have such medicine?"
