Cui Wan felt the same way as the Empress Dowager, as if she had worked hard for many years but ultimately failed.
Very unhappy!
And she was the stupidest thing, she actually poisoned Feng Jinyu.
Let the Dongjun royal family and that child watch the fight from afar and laugh at the joke.
If she continued, she would die quickly.
Now we have to plan how to save Ce'er's life.
At daybreak, the little prince finally fell asleep after tossing and turning all night.
Cui Wan quickly called Peilan to the secret room.
"My Lady, have you thought about it? Do you want to continue?"
Cui Wan briefly told Peilan her guess.
Perrin was surprised, "The child is still alive, is this... possible?"
"Of course it's possible. Lin Fang disappeared for no apparent reason. Even if Empress Fu'an's difficult labor wasn't an accident, and even if Lin Fang confessed something to the people of Dongjun, the Empress Dowager would have fainted long ago. Why did she wait until yesterday when the Emperor sent the Imperial Guards to the street in front of the Duke of Huguo's mansion to set up defenses before fainting? I think she was worried that someone suspicious would stop His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yu and reveal the truth about Empress Fu'an's difficult labor and the fact that the child was not dead."
Pei Lan couldn't believe it. "Even if someone suspicious stopped the car, why did they have to stop it on the street in front of the Duke of Huguo's mansion? As long as Prince Yu entered the city, someone could have stopped the car anywhere!"
Peilan felt that this logic was a bit unreasonable. "I think the child can't be alive. The reason why the Empress Dowager fainted is probably because she was the murderer who murdered Empress Fu'an."
Cui Wan frowned. "Then why did the Emperor suddenly decide to send the Imperial Guards to the Duke of Huguo's residence to defend it, along with the City Defense Battalion?"
"This..." Perrin's brain was not enough to figure out the reason.
Cui Wan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "Pei Lan, you often leave the palace. Have you spotted a handsome man around Feng Jinyu's age who bears some resemblance to the emperor?"
Peilan recalled Su Xingyi's divine appearance in her mind, and she instantly flashed before her eyes. "I haven't found any man who looks like the emperor or Feng Jinyu, but I did see Prince Shun on the street. His appearance and demeanor are beyond the reach of Feng Jinyu, and no other young master from aristocratic family in the capital can match him."
Cui Wan was surprised. "Prince Shun really is that handsome. Did you see it clearly?"
"I saw it clearly. Prince Shun, Princess Xiao, and the little girl were all wearing the same colored clothes and makeup. Many passersby stopped and turned their heads to look at the three of them. They were all stunned."
"Prince Shun is also wearing makeup?"
"Yes, Madam. This is the first time I've seen a man look so good with makeup on. He must look amazing even without makeup."
Cui Wan was shocked. "Is it possible that Su Xingyi is Empress Fu'an's child? And the Emperor already knew about it."
Peilan opened her mouth, speechless for a long time, completely stunned. After a while, she said, "This... this is impossible. If the Emperor knew, the Empress Dowager would have known long ago. After all, the Empress Dowager has lived in the Grand Prince's residence for many days. How could she not have seen Prince Shun's appearance clearly?"
"Don't you think he was wearing makeup? Perhaps Prince Shun already knew his identity and must have used makeup to cover up his true appearance and secretly investigate the truth behind Empress Fu'an's difficult labor."
Cui Wan suddenly understood what she hadn't understood before.
Back then, Master Ci'en said that Princess Xiao was a lucky star. How could the Emperor so easily marry Princess Xiao off to a peasant? At worst, it could be another prince!
She and Jinxiu conspired to frame Feng Jinyu for rebellion, and the emperor took advantage of the situation to attack the Xiao family, and halfway through, he married Xiao Lingyu to Su Xingyi, who was still a farmer.
It turns out that they, mother and son, did all this to pave the way for Su Xingyi.
Your Majesty plays chess very well!
"Your Majesty, I understand. The reason the Emperor stationed the Imperial Guards at the gates of the Duke of Huguo's residence is because he was worried someone would reveal Su Xingyi's identity to Crown Prince Yu. Furthermore, Princess Xiao was Prince Shun's wife, and she died while pregnant. Crown Prince Yu would be furious, and the consequences would be disastrous. The Xiao family would certainly not stand idly by and would definitely find the murderer of Princess Xiao."
Cui Wan felt powerless, having forced herself into a dead end. "Princess Xiao is pregnant with the Crown Prince. Not only the Xiao family, but also the Dongjun royal family and even the Emperor himself will not let the person who poisoned her go!"
"Then, Your Majesty, I will leave the palace today to convey Your Majesty's intention to Qingxu. Will you stop now?" Peilan asked tentatively.
"I can't go meet Qingxu. If we meet, I'll be exposed. Qingxu knows what to do..."
Cui Wan knew very well that Feng Jinyu would find out about her sooner or later, so the most important thing now was to arrange a way out for her youngest son.
"Yes, my lady."
"And please dispose of the medicine bottle I gave you yesterday as soon as possible."
"yes."
When it was daybreak, although Emperor Qianyuan did not have to get up early to attend court, he still washed and dressed at the first quarter of the morning and had his breakfast leisurely.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Western Garden that Prince Yu is waiting."
Emperor Qianyuan looked at the time and continued to eat slowly.
Anyway, it’s not the time of day yet, so let him wait.
Shangguan Yu knew his character very well, but he didn't wait there foolishly.
When Emperor Qianyuan and his men arrived at the Royal West Garden in a grand procession, it was still half a quarter of an hour before the hour of Chen.
After waiting for half a minute, Shangguan Yu finally showed up.
"Brother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Emperor Qianyuan looked at him expressionlessly without saying anything, and lowered the curtains to block Shangguan Yu's disgusting face.
"Let's go!"
After the official from the Ministry of Rites shouted, the royal convoy set off towards the imperial mausoleum outside the city.
Dongfang Yinzhang, Bai Yi and others had already disguised themselves and blended into the convoy.
Shangguan Yu smelled a pleasant fragrance, lifted the curtain and looked towards the source of the fragrance. He saw Shangguan Jinnian at a glance, and behind him were Su Xingyi and his father and son.
