"If the Queen hadn't pushed you, there would still be assassins trying to kill the Emperor and asking you to take the blame.
That person's purpose was to use the assassination to frame the queen and eliminate the queen as the master of the harem.
At the same time, you blocked the knife for the emperor, and your position in the emperor's heart will also be elevated.
But no one expected that when you were pregnant, the queen would push you away.
Now it seems that things are developing according to that person's original plan, and your pregnancy has given him a surprise."
Ying Xixi was stunned by Qiao Yuyuan’s words.
"Why does this plan sound like it's for my own good? It's like I used a self-torture tactic to gain the emperor's favor and eliminate my biggest rival, the empress. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Qiao Yuyuan nodded, "That's indeed the case. Xixi, you should be able to guess who is behind this."
Ying Xixi: “???”
A face appeared in her mind.
She hesitated and doubted, "Could it be...my scumbag dad?"
"Scumbag dad? That's a clever word. That's right, the mastermind behind this is your father, Xixi."
Ying Xixi: “….”
"Is his goal to make me the emperor's favorite, or even the queen, so that the Ying family can prosper?
He is plotting against me with my life! If the assassin had stabbed me a little deeper, or a little further to the side, I would have been dead!"
The more Ying Xixi thought about it, the angrier she became. This old bastard Ying Yongliang was actually plotting against her!
Did he really think that since she was favored by the emperor, she would give a share of the spoils to the Ying family?!
dream!
"Not only that, I sent someone to investigate these past few days. He's very ambitious. He wanted to wait until you were pregnant before slowly making plans.
But Ying Zhenzhen's death stimulated him. He could not wait any longer, so he planned to kill two birds with one stone by assassinating the emperor and framing the queen at the same time.
He wants your unborn child to become the next emperor, and he wants to take over the Qiao family's kingdom."
Qiao Yuyuan slowly revealed Ying Yongliang's ambition in front of Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi: “….”
"It turns out that Ying Yongliang is truly ambitious and wants to seize power and usurp the throne."
Ying Xixi twitched the corners of her mouth and sneered, "Then I wouldn't be wronging him. Your Highness, can you do me a favor?"
Qiao Yuyuan played with Ying Xixi's black hair and said, "I'm very happy."
Ying Xixi spent this New Year's Eve in Xijun Palace.
Because she was injured, the emperor did not allow her to show up in public and asked her to recuperate in the palace.
Qiao Yuyuan therefore took advantage of the opportunity to spend New Year's Eve with Ying Xixi.
Years later, riots broke out in the capital.
A group of people were planning a rebellion, but were discovered and fled into a mansion.
That mansion was the residence of the ministers in the court. The guards did not dare to act rashly and reported the matter to the emperor.
The emperor suspected that the person who rebelled might be one of his ministers, so he issued a search warrant and searched the mansion thoroughly!
I didn't expect that after searching like this, I actually found something useful.
The guards found a bright yellow dragon robe in the study cabinet of Ying Yongliang in the Ying Mansion!
This is terrible!
The guards immediately took Ying Yongliang in front of the emperor wearing the dragon robe.
The emperor guessed all the ministers, but he never thought that the rebellious minister with wolfish ambitions was Ying Yongliang!
The father of his favorite concubine!
"Ying Yongliang! What else do you have to say? You are so ambitious! You actually dared to rebel! You even dared to secretly hide the dragon robe at home!"
The emperor was so furious that he wanted to have Ying Yongliang dragged out and beheaded immediately!
But considering that he was Ying Xixi's father, he kept suppressing the anger in his heart.
Ying Yongliang was a little confused when he saw the dragon robe.
He only had people secretly planning to assassinate the emperor, but he didn't have anyone making a dragon robe.
How did this dragon robe appear in his study?
And it just happened to be discovered by the Emperor's men?!
Ying Yongliang was a cunning old man after all. Even if he was slow to react, he realized that he was being tricked!
But he couldn't make excuses because he was indeed planning a rebellion.
So no matter how the emperor questioned him, he kept silent.
When Ying Xixi heard about this, she came to the imperial study with Hua Yue's support.
She glanced at Ying Yongliang who was kneeling with his head bowed, and came to the emperor.
"Why are you here, my beloved? Come and sit down."
The emperor quickly helped Ying Xixi and let her sit on the soft chair next to the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, I heard about my father's situation and came here to see him. Father, do you really want to rebel?"
Ying Xixi looked at Ying Yongliang disappointedly.
Ying Yongliang trembled with his lips, but still said nothing.
What can he say now?
Apart from the dragon robe which is solid evidence, if the emperor sends someone to investigate him carefully, all his plots can be uncovered.
Now he only hopes that Ying Xixi, the concubine's daughter whom he has not valued since childhood but who has climbed higher than the legitimate daughter, can beg for mercy for him as her father.
The crime of treason requires the execution of the entire family. Fortunately, Huabi is still in the mansion, and Ying Xixi is close to her mother. For her mother's sake, she will definitely help him plead with the emperor!
Ying Yongliang had beautiful thoughts in his mind.
"Father didn't say anything, it seems he agreed."
Ying Xixi turned to face the emperor and bowed, "Your Majesty, the evidence is irrefutable. My father is guilty of treason. I will not rely on your favor to plead for my father and embarrass you.
However, I would like to plead for my mother and the servants in the Ying Mansion who are innocent. If there are people in the Ying Mansion who have nothing to do with my father's treason, could Your Majesty spare their lives?"
Ying Xixi's words made the emperor feel a little relieved.
"Okay, I promise you."
If Xixi begged for mercy on behalf of Ying Yongliang, it would indeed put him in an awkward position, but if she was just begging for mercy on behalf of an innocent person, then it would naturally be allowed.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but Ying Yongliang's heart was in his throat.
Ying Xixi meant... to exclude him?!
"Xixi! Father didn't commit treason! Hurry up and plead with the Emperor!"
Ying Yongliang finally felt scared and begged for mercy like a dead dog.
Ying Xixi raised her chin slightly and looked at Ying Yongliang disdainfully, "Father, from the day you decided to rebel, you should have thought about the consequences of your rebellion.
Your daughter will not beg for mercy on your behalf, Your Majesty. I am a little tired and will take my leave first."
After saying this, Ying Xixi left with Hua Yue's support.
Without the concern of Ying Xixi, the emperor immediately ordered Ying Yongliang to be imprisoned and a thorough investigation of all the bad things he had done.
All those who participated in the rebellion will not be let off!
Through this investigation, the fact that Ying Xixi and the Emperor and Empress were assassinated on the hillside outside the capital was also revealed.
It turned out that the mastermind behind this incident was Ying Yongliang, not the queen.
The emperor realized that he had wronged the queen, so he released her from the cold palace.
Everyone originally thought that the emperor would restore the queen's position, but he didn't.
