"Ye Chen, Ye Sen, and Ye Lin's mother had a difficult childbirth. Did you instruct the midwife to do it?!" Ye Ling questioned.
Shen Lianqiao was also dumbfounded.
She thought she had done everything perfectly, so how did the Emperor and Empress Dowager find out everything?
Could it be that the saying is true—"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place"?
However, the Empress Dowager must have done things like scheming against others, having risen from a noblewoman to the position of Empress Dowager through trials and tribulations!
Why is it that the Empress Dowager can have a happy ending, while she couldn't even help her own son ascend the throne and was about to be killed?
Could it be that the Empress Dowager is a chosen one?
Her ancestors had accumulated too much good karma for her. Even if the Empress Dowager schemed her whole life, from the inner palace to the imperial court, the good karma accumulated by her ancestors, minus the bad karma she had squandered, still left her with a great deal of wealth.
And she was that unlucky one; she squandered all the good karma her ancestors had accumulated long ago!
The evil deeds she committed later were all immoral! Eventually, after accumulating to a certain extent, quantitative change led to qualitative change, directly resulting in today's outcome?
So, in the end, it's still because our ancestors were disappointing!
So why can't you do more good deeds for me?
It's all because of this that I'm so unlucky now!
"Shen Lianqiao! Answer my question!"
Shen Lianqiao was startled by Ye Ling's roar.
Trembling with fear, he confessed to everything he had done!
"It was I who did it! I bribed the midwife, and this morning Ye Chen, Ye Sen, and Ye Lin's mother had a difficult childbirth!"
Five-year-old Ye Sen didn't understand any of this.
Ten-year-old Ye Chen's gaze toward Shen Lianqiao grew increasingly fierce!
Shen Lianqiao's mistreatment of him had already made him resentful!
Now, he knows that it was his mother's killer!
Ye Chen's anger level immediately reached its maximum!
He drew a guard's sword and stabbed it towards Shen Lianqiao's heart!
Because I'm not strong enough!
The accuracy is also not high.
The stab didn't hit Shen Lianqiao's heart, but it struck her shoulder.
Ye Yu looked!
He was about to kick Ye Chen!
But Ye Mu blocked Ye Chen's way.
Ye Yu kicked Ye Mu in the shoulder.
Ye Mu was immediately forced to take a few steps back!
Ye Chen also fell to the ground!
Ye Ling immediately rushed to Ye Yu's side!
She slapped him across the face!
"You incapable of distinguishing right from wrong! Don't you have any idea how many lives Shen Lianqiao has taken or how many heads she has to chop off?"
"Or are you going to take Shen Lianqiao's place and have your head chopped off?!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lianqiao...
Kneel down immediately.
"Your Majesty! Ye Yu was only trying to save his mother! Your Majesty must not punish him! He still bears a great responsibility!"
"A great responsibility? What great responsibility? The great responsibility of inheriting my empire?"
Ye Ling sneered.
"I never intended for Ye Yu to inherit my empire!"
Shen Lianqiao was taken aback.
"Your Majesty, Ye Yu is your legitimate son, he is your legitimate son!"
"So what if he's the legitimate son?! He's never studied hard; instead, he's focused on cultivating relationships with the court officials! All this is so that when I appoint a crown prince, the court will support him! I'm afraid that's something you, you wretched woman, taught him!"
"You are not even worthy of sitting in the position of Empress, so what makes you think that the future position of Empress Dowager is yours?"
Shen Lianqiao was dumbfounded.
It turns out that Ye Ling knew everything.
I know she's plotting to become the crown prince, I know she's secretly contacting Ye Yu and former court officials, and I know she's always coveted the position of crown prince.
[Father! Ye Yu isn't just secretly colluding with former court officials; he's also colluded with the Great Xiongnu, waiting for the right moment to assassinate the emperor and seize the throne! There are many letters exchanged between him and the Great Xiongnu in his residence! Father, investigate immediately!]
Ye Ling frowned.
how.
Has my son really become so rebellious?!
Ye Yu was granted the title of Prince of Qi at the age of fifteen, which allowed him to reside in a mansion outside the palace.
In this way, it actually made it easier for him to avoid colluding with the Great Xiongnu under Ye Ling's nose!
"Guards! Go to the Qi Prince's residence and check if anything has been hidden there!"
Ye Yu was taken aback.
His study contained many letters exchanged with the Great Hungary.
There are also many other updates about the Emperor's activities in the palace, all of which were relayed by people sent by the Empress.
Ye Yu will then pass these on to the Great Xiongnu.
Once the Emperor finds out about this...
Let alone whether he can keep his position as King of Qi, it's uncertain whether he can even keep his own life!
Ye Yu immediately knelt on the ground.
"Father! Your son—"
"Shut up! Every punctuation mark you utter is just an excuse!"
Ye Yu immediately fell silent!
The waiting period.
Ye Qianqian yawned.
Ah, this scene has been paused now, right? I'm feeling a bit sleepy, I want to take a nap!
[I'll continue watching the play after the guards return! Mother, I'm going to sleep now!]
Ye Ling's tone softened.
"Jin'er, let me help you inside to rest."
Shen Lianqiao was seething with hatred as she looked at Ye Ling's cautious manner.
But now is not the time for jealousy and rivalry; the real priority now is to save our lives!
Consort Xu continued to comfort Ye Mu and Ye Chen.
"Mu'er, Chen'er, don't worry, justice will surely be served today for your mother's murder."
"The Emperor will surely allow you to personally kill your mother's killer. Now, you should wait patiently. Those who achieve great things must remain calm and not act impulsively."
Ye Mu and Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Sen didn't understand the scheme behind this, and his gaze was somewhat blank.
Consort Xu hugged him.
