Chapter 490 Yan's Plan
Yan Shi, standing aside, smiled and offered some unconcerned words, "The eldest prince is still young. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. There are more important matters. I think it would be better to keep the eldest prince under proper care. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate."
Concubine Mi also agreed with this, so she had the eldest prince tied up and gagged, and then thrown aside.
Yan glanced at the angry eldest prince and smiled, "Your Highness is a smart man, please don't do stupid things again. Otherwise, your biological mother and the entire Mi family will die because of you. Your Highness is not so cruel and unfilial, right?"
The eldest prince glared at him in shock and anger.
Yan chuckled proudly.
Are Concubine Mi and the Mi family qualified to fight her? What a joke!
Her son was plotting treason and would never ascend the throne again. But it didn't matter. The prince could stay in the dark. The royal family had plenty of young children. If the eldest prince was disobedient, she could wait until the situation stabilized and the court was firmly under the control of her and her son. At that time, the eldest prince could be "seriously ill in bed." He was still young and had no children, so it was not easy to adopt a son. However, she could adopt a younger brother from the royal family.
Once the adoption is complete and all precautions are taken, the eldest prince can pass away. Once the new little emperor takes the throne, she and her son in the dark will truly hold the power. Concubine Mi will no longer be useful and can go to the underworld to reunite with her husband, son and family!
When her son in secret has a son in the future, she can find a way to adopt him. In the end, the world will belong to her son's lineage!
No one can take away what belongs to them and their son!
Although the process was a bit tortuous, the most difficult and critical step has been taken and successfully completed, and the next things will be much easier.
Yan sneered and mocked Concubine Mi countless times in her heart. This fool probably couldn't have imagined in her dreams that she was just making wedding clothes for herself.
As the order from the palace was passed on, all of Yan's secret agents and spies began to move.
Even the imprisoned second prince was moved
This time, it is the last chance for the mother and son, and it is also a great opportunity. Absolutely no mistakes are allowed. The places that should be controlled, the people that should be monitored, and the things that should be done are all arranged in an orderly manner.
This time, there is no need for them to hold back and they must go all out!
Otherwise, if we fail due to problems like lack of manpower, I will be so angry that I will die.
The streets of the capital were still bustling, the sun shining brightly, the crowds bustling and bustling. People were walking the streets, doing business, or leisurely strolling through teahouses and taverns. Everyone's life was no different from yesterday, with laughter, anger, chatter, and jokes. Who could have imagined, or dared to imagine, when it was time to cook or rest? Within the capital, another change of government was secretly being plotted.
Zhou Hansheng specifically told Zhao Liya not to go out for the next two days, but to go to his mother's yard whenever she had time and stay with her. No matter what happened in the mansion, she should not move or panic. He would take care of everything.
It was rare for Zhao Liya to see him look so serious, and she felt that something must be happening.
Zhou Hansheng certainly couldn't tell her, so she didn't ask any more questions and just said to him, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Zhou Hansheng felt warm in his heart and kissed her gently: "Well, I will be back soon!"
Zhao Liya smiled sweetly. Their trip south would probably be coming soon.
Zhao Xiang was in the Ministry of Personnel Yamen when he was summoned by the palace and went there immediately.
No one thought there was anything unusual about this.
After all, Lord Zhao is highly favored by the Emperor and he is often summoned to the palace to discuss matters, so others cannot even be jealous of him.
Who dares to compete with Lord Zhao? This achievement is unmatched by anyone.
When Zhao Xiang entered the palace, he may or may not have noticed that there seemed to be some unfamiliar faces among the palace guards, especially those outside the Qianqing Palace.
He was unaware of it and asked for an audience outside the Qianqing Palace. After being allowed, he walked in calmly.
As soon as Zhao Xiang entered the palace, he was taken hostage to a side hall.
"Sinner Yan! Imperial Concubine! Where is the Emperor? Where is Eunuch Mo? Why are you here? What do you want to do?"
Zhao Xiang's face suddenly changed. No one answered his string of questions. Everyone in the hall looked at him with a mocking, sarcastic, and sneering expression, as if to say, "You've got this day, too."
Zhao Xiang shouted in shock and anger: "Does the Imperial Concubine know what she is doing? Where is the Emperor? What have you done to him?"
Concubine Mi was furious and said, "How dare you, Zhao Xiang, a mere minister, shout and yell in front of me? Who gave you the courage? Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"
Zhao Xiang said coldly, "I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine doesn't have that power."
Yan chuckled and said with a cheerful smile, "Anyone has the right to punish traitors. Of course, the Imperial Concubine has the power to do so."
"What do you mean?"
Yan hated Zhao Xiang so much that she dreamed of killing him. However, when Zhao Xiang came to her, she was no longer so anxious.
The enemy is right before his eyes and can kill him at any time, so of course he must die with hatred in his eyes. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of all these arrangements and a pity?
"Your emperor has passed away!"
"What! This is impossible!"
Yan smiled cheerfully as she thrust a knife into Zhao Xiang's heart. "How could it be impossible? We will find an irrefutable excuse and announce to the world that your emperor died accidentally at your hands, and so you committed suicide out of fear of punishment! Lord Zhao, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Zhao Xiang paused, stumbling slightly. He looked at Concubine Mi in disbelief, "Your Highness, was this also your idea? You've harmed the Emperor! How could you have the heart to do this? The Emperor has treated you and the Mi family well, and the eldest prince is also filial to you. How could you do such a thing!"
"Why can't I? If the Emperor really valued me, he wouldn't have just made me a noble concubine and not even given me the title of Imperial Noble Consort! He certainly wouldn't have snatched my son away and given him to the Empress! Humph, I'm afraid Lord Zhao also looks down on me in his heart, right? You're all the same kind of bastards! I hate you! You killed my nephew, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be looking for someone for the Mi family. I find you disgusting!"
"What!"
"What did you say, Madam?"
The Mi family was stunned. Obviously, they knew nothing about this matter and were terrified by the news released by Concubine Mi.
Concubine Mi took a deep breath and said, "Ayang is dead. You don't have to wait and hope anymore."
