Chapter 187 It was Xiao Fuguang who harmed them
There was a glimmer of ruthlessness in Prince Rong's eyes, but he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Uprooting the Prince Regent's Palace? That's easier said than done."
Su Yan bowed when he heard this.
"Your Highness, this matter is difficult, but not impossible. Although you and he are of the same rank, the Regent holds immense military power. If we want to eliminate him, we cannot do it ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong looked at Su Yan with a hint of warning in his eyes.
"You also said that he holds military power. Your ideas had better be effective. If you cause trouble for me again..."
Su Yan spoke hurriedly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This time we will borrow someone else's strength, and it will definitely be useful."
Prince Rong looked at Su Yan and spoke in a deep voice.
"Whose help do I need, and how do I borrow it?"
There was a glimmer of calculation in Su Yan's eyes.
"The Regent is already second only to the emperor. If we want to get rid of him, we must find the most powerful person in Xuanyuan."
Prince Rong listened and looked at Su Yan.
"You mean the Emperor?"
Su Yan nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Prince Rong frowned after hearing this.
"How can I borrow this?"
Su Yan bowed after hearing this.
"Your Highness, I cannot allow others to sleep beside my bed. It is a grave taboo for the Regent to hold military power. If he were to plot a rebellion... who would be the first to worry?"
In the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace.
When Xiao Fuguang thought about going to Dali Temple for a walk and then going home, his depression disappeared.
I tilted my head to look at Xuanyuan Jing. I felt that he was getting more and more handsome recently.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her and spoke slowly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Fuguang smiled playfully.
"My prince is so majestic and domineering today that Prince Rong and Su Yan are so angry that their faces are green."
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jing reached out and pinched the tip of her nose.
"You're so happy to see them angry. Looks like I need to find opportunities to make them angry more in the future."
Xiao Fuguang leaned his head on his shoulder.
"Is it possible that I would be happier if they died?"
Xuanyuan Jing's eyes flashed darkly when he heard that, and he put his arms around her.
"Let's wait a little longer until the Fifth Prince is more mature. If Xuanyuan wants to change, we need someone who can control the ministers in the court, otherwise the people will suffer."
"You don't have to panic about this matter. They won't dare to do anything to you."
In the palace.
Yikun Palace.
After all, because of his many years of friendship with Concubine Yao, Emperor Xuanyuan still came to visit her after hearing that she had vomited blood and fainted because of the Yao family's affairs. Looking at Concubine Yao lying on the bed with a heartbroken look on her face and having lost a lot of weight, Emperor Xuanyuan sighed.
"You should always take care of your body. I know it's hard for you to accept the Yao family's affairs. I have already asked the Dali Temple to investigate, and I also tacitly allowed Prince Rong to investigate secretly. I can finally..."
Yaopin's tears rolled down the corners of her eyes and fell onto the pillow. Her eyes were dim, as if she had lost hope in life.
"So what even if they find out?"
"I have no home now."
She spoke while crying and laughing.
"It's my fault. I'm greedy and it's me who caused the Yao family to end up like this. But Your Majesty has already punished them. Who was it that insisted on wiping out the Yao family and leaving me helpless?"
Then he burst into laughter while crying.
"I am a nuisance..."
"She's a waste, a waste daughter who killed her whole family."
"If I hadn't married into the palace, if I hadn't become a noble concubine, if I wasn't Prince Rong's biological mother, would the Yao family have not suffered this fate?"
"It's my fault, why wasn't I the one who died?"
Seeing her so crazy, a hint of worry flashed in Xuanyuan's eyes.
"Doctor, Doctor, please take another look at her."
The imperial physician hurried over and after taking Concubine Yao's pulse, he shook his head solemnly and spoke softly to Emperor Xuanyuan.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has a difficult problem to resolve, and she is also suffering from a heart attack due to anxiety. I'm afraid she will need a long period of rest and medication before she can slowly recover. If she doesn't recover, I'm afraid..."
Xuanyuan spoke upon hearing this.
"What is it?"
The imperial physician bowed.
"I'm afraid it will affect my lifespan and may lead to premature death."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanyuan frowned, feeling mixed emotions.
The depth of Concubine Yao's feelings for the Yao family and the magnitude of the blow this incident dealt to her are beyond words.
With a soft sigh, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"My beloved, please don't blame yourself so much. How can you be blamed for what happened to the Yao family? It's all because the person behind this was too cruel. I have ordered a thorough investigation and will definitely seek justice for the Yao family. You should also think about me and yourself. You still have Prince Rong and me. We are all your support."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yao's eyes were still gloomy. She smiled bitterly and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were rolling down her cheeks again.
"Rely on, what else do I have to rely on? What's the difference between my Yikun Palace and the Cold Palace now?"
"Prince Rong is also being targeted everywhere..."
Then he looked up at the bed curtains.
"Life is really meaningless."
Upon seeing this, Emperor Xuanyuan reached out and held her hand.
"My dear, please don't talk nonsense. How could our friendship of many years be meaningless?"
The Yao family is gone, she has suffered such a great blow, and she has been with him for so many years. Emperor Xuanyuan pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Come here, pass on my decree. Concubine Yao will be reinstated as Imperial Concubine from today, and all food, clothing, and other expenses in the palace will be restored immediately."
Yaopin, no, now it's Yao Guifei. There was no joy on her face after hearing this. How could she feel at ease sitting on the position of Guifei which she had obtained at the cost of her whole family's lives?
Cuizhu and Lianxin, who were standing beside them, knelt down hurriedly upon seeing this.
"This servant would like to thank the Emperor for his grace on behalf of our Empress."
"Your Majesty, our Queen has always known your kindness, but she is too grief-stricken, and now some..."
"When my mother and I are in better condition and regain consciousness, we will definitely thank the Emperor."
Emperor Xuanyuan glanced at the two of them.
Patted Concubine Yao's hand.
"Rest well first, I will come to see you tomorrow."
He stood up and took a look at the green bamboo and Lian Xin on the ground.
"Take good care of your master."
Cuizhu and Lianxin hurriedly saluted.
"Yes, I will take good care of you, Madam."
Concubine Yao looked at Emperor Xuanyuan's back as he walked out the door. The madness in her eyes disappeared, but her tears continued to roll down.
Cuizhu hurried forward and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"My Lady, you've been crying for a long time. Stop crying. Your eyes will hurt if you cry any more."
Concubine Yao couldn't stop crying.
"Let Prince Rong do everything he can to investigate this matter for me..."
Suddenly a voice sounded.
"Mother, even if you don't tell me, I will investigate."
Looking up, she saw Prince Rong walking in, and Concubine Yao's face was covered with tears.
"Shuo'er......"
Prince Rong stepped forward and held Concubine Yao's hand.
"Mother."
"As soon as my son heard the news that you were vomiting blood, he went to the palace. How are you now? Have you been examined by the imperial physician?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yao lowered her head with a look of dejection.
"What does it matter what happens to my mother?"
"Mother just wants to know, your grandmother and the others..."
There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Shuo'er, can you please tell Mother that the news is false? Is it possible that your grandmother and the others made a mistake?"
Prince Rong shook his head slightly after hearing this.
"Mother, it is indeed true."
"The Ministry of Justice has already brought back the remains of my grandmother's family. I have seen them with my own eyes..."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Yao was struck by lightning. Her face turned pale instantly and her body swayed slightly.
"It was me who harmed the Yao family."
Prince Rong hurriedly supported her body.
"Mother, mother, you have to hold on. It wasn't you who harmed my grandmother and the others. It was Xiao Fuguang who harmed them."
