When Bei Lingyao woke up, she heard Princess Fu'an teaching the twins. Before she could react, she was kissed on the forehead.
She opened her eyes wide, blinked, and regained consciousness. Oh, she slept so soundly that she almost forgot about Emperor Yongxi when she woke up.
"emperor"
"Yaoyao"
Emperor Yongxi's eyes were filled with joy, and he happily buried his face in Bei Lingyao's chest and rubbed it.
"I am so happy, Yao'er. When I return to the capital and depose the queen, I will marry you into the palace and make you my queen."
"Your Majesty, please don't mention it again. I don't want to enter the palace, nor am I suitable to enter the palace. Let's just treat last night as a fleeting romance."
When Bei Lingyao said this, Emperor Yongxi was unhappy, "I don't want to miss you again."
"Isn't it good like this now? There's no burden, and the Emperor doesn't have to worry about the Queen Mother and the court officials opposing him, which would affect his reputation. I can't let my selfishness bring trouble to the Emperor."
Bei Lingyao felt that now was not the right time.
But last night's sleep gave Emperor Yongxi great confidence.
ha!
Princess Fu'an never thought that Emperor Yongxi would appear here.
"Royal brother, what are you doing?"
"I was drugged by Concubine Jiang, so I came to Jinghua."
Emperor Yongxi's words made Princess Fu'an's eyes widen even more. "Noble Concubine Jiang drugged my brother? Why drugged him again?"
Bei Lingyao said, "The medicine the emperor took last night was the same as the one he took last time in the Cining Palace."
Emperor Yongxi's eyes were filled with gloom. He didn't want to doubt it, but it was already obvious.
Princess Fu'an was excited. Apart from her former husband, the person she hated the most was the empress dowager.
She was extremely excited at the thought of Emperor Yongxi and the Empress Dowager and her son facing off.
"It shouldn't be the Queen Mother. My brother is her biological son. She would never harm him. My brother should investigate this matter thoroughly. Could it be that someone else framed Concubine Jiang, or was it just a conspiracy between Concubine Jiang and the Jiang family?"
At this point, Princess Fu'an looked at Emperor Yongxi with disdain, "Royal brother, as an emperor, why do you always take Chinese medicine? Fortunately, it is Class C medicine. If it was poison, you would be dead."
Emperor Yongxi had a cold and solemn expression. "This medicine is different from ordinary medicine. Once it's added to the tea, a silver needle can't detect it. Besides, Ji Kang tasted it beforehand and he's fine."
"It might be okay to take a sip, but the Emperor needs to investigate this matter thoroughly. This drug isn't fatal, but it's grossly abused by those with ulterior motives."
After Bei Lingyao said this, Princess Fu'an nodded heavily, "Royal brother, you must conduct a thorough investigation. Whether it is C medicine or poison, it should not appear in the harem or on the people in the harem.
Otherwise, how can the safety of the emperor's younger brother be guaranteed? Anyone can easily drug the emperor. If he is not severely punished, anyone can attack the emperor in the future."
"When I came here, I asked Ji Kang to check it out."
Emperor Yongxi also knew that it was time for him to leave. He looked at Bei Lingyao with some reluctance, "I'll come find you soon."
"Your Majesty, take care."
Bei Lingyao did not try to keep him.
He and Princess Fu'an watched Emperor Yongxi ride away on his horse.
When Bei Lingyao looked away, she saw Princess Fu'an staring at her.
"Why is the Princess looking at me like that?"
Princess Fu'an grasped Bei Lingyao's hand and said, "Jinghua, thank you so much this time. Thank you so much."
"Need not."
"Yes, my royal brother has always been stubborn. He always sticks to his beliefs about people and things. From the fact that he insisted on running here despite taking Chinese medicine, I know that he has you in his heart and would rather hurt himself than touch others.
I am extremely grateful that you are willing to save him, otherwise the strong medicine would damage his dragon body."
Speaking of this, Princess Fu'an sighed inwardly, "In fact, I didn't like this imperial brother very much before, because I didn't like the empress dowager, and I had a bad impression of him.
After my mother passed away and the Queen Mother became the Queen, I, the princess, became the neglected one.
My father is busy with many things every day. Apart from summoning concubines, he also pays attention to the prince and does not pay much attention to the princess.
But other imperial sisters have their biological mothers to protect them, but I do not. The empress dowager doesn't care about me at all, and even deliberately ignores me. She also uses this as an excuse to dispose of the servants around me and replace them with her own people.
I am completely controlled by the people arranged by the Queen Mother. The servants in the palace flatter the powerful and the weak. My life in the palace is not easy.
Sometimes even your brothers and sisters step on you.
It was my younger brother who rescued me and brought me closer to my father, which is why I became his favorite princess.
I am grateful to my younger brother, even when he was raised in the Yuanmu harem, he did not receive the favor of my father.
But the Queen Mother is very mean. I have no conflict of interest with her, but she keeps targeting me. My meeting and acquaintance with the Prince Consort is even more of a conspiracy of the Queen Mother.
I hated it so much during those years. I hated it so much that I wanted to take revenge on my younger brother and make the Empress Dowager sad.
But my royal brother is so good to me, I can't hurt him.
Moreover, when I wanted to divorce my husband, my father did not agree, and neither did my other brothers. Only my younger brother supported me.
Only if my younger brother ascends the throne successfully, my life will be better.
Before I left the capital, my father asked me, and I told him directly at that time.
The other royal brothers lack a friendly and brotherly heart. If they come to power, these princesses will not have a good life, let alone the other brothers.
This is indeed the case. After the emperor's younger brother, Kuanren, came to power, except for a few brothers who were punished for treason, all the other brothers and sisters lived well.
I am living a comfortable life in Jiangnan. My brothers and sisters all dislike me and think I am a heretic.
So if something happens to my younger brother, my good days will be over."
Princess Fu'an said a lot of her true feelings in one breath.
Bei Lingyao asked, "Does the Emperor look like the late Emperor?"
Princess Fu'an paused, "There's a certain resemblance, but Father isn't as handsome as my brother. Father likes good-looking people, and he probably wanted to make you the Crown Princess because of your beauty."
You don’t know, my father is not good-looking, so he is often willful.
Can you believe it? The reason why the emperor's younger brother can become the crown prince at the youngest age is because he is the most handsome among all the emperor's brothers.
The emperor felt that his younger brother was his most outstanding masterpiece, while the other brothers were ugly and were failures.
Fortunately, my younger brother is truly outstanding and has lived up to my father's trust. He is both civil and military, and is far superior to his other brothers. Otherwise, the Cang Yue Kingdom would have fallen into my father's hands."
Bei Lingyao's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that the late emperor was such a beauty-obsessed person.
She raised her doubts, "The Emperor only looks 30% like the late Emperor, but the Emperor and the Empress Dowager don't look alike, so who does he look like the other 70%?"
Princess Fu'an was stunned and stood there in a daze.
I was in a daze for a moment and my expression was indistinct.
