Upon hearing this, Concubine Yong shouted angrily, "No! Zhou Sheng, how dare you!"

She tried to stop Zhou Sheng from saying the next words, because she knew that once he said that, she and the Thirteenth Princess would be doomed forever.

"My queen, I'm sorry." Zhou Sheng lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Concubine Yong. "My parents are still alive at home. I have to think about my parents and relatives, not just myself. I feel guilty about you in this life, and I can only repay you in the next life."

"Your Majesty, I did have an affair with Concubine Yong, but the Thirteenth Princess is not my child. It was Concubine Yong who ordered me to frame the Imperial Concubine. Please punish me! I deserve death, but I beg Your Majesty to release my family."

The emperor's face turned pale and he pointed at Concubine Yong in anger and spoke. Lu Yanluo was afraid that he would faint from anger, so she quickly pulled out a silver needle and pricked him a few times.

"Bitch! Bitch!" The emperor paused, and suddenly thought of the Thirteenth Princess: "Go, immediately order someone to prepare a blood test and find the Thirteenth Princess, immediately!"

"Your Majesty...don't..." Concubine Yong murmured. She thought that if Zhou Sheng denied that the Thirteenth Princess was not his daughter, His Majesty would let the princess go. Unexpectedly, the Emperor did not believe Zhou Sheng's words at all and still wanted to drop blood to prove his relationship.

It is obvious that the Thirteenth Princess's identity can no longer be maintained.

The eunuch prepared all the necessary instruments, and the nanny brought the Thirteenth Princess, who knew nothing. The emperor, regardless of the Thirteenth Princess's fear, took a knife and cut her finger himself, and then cut his own.

Two drops of blood fell into the water, and everyone held their breath, only to see that the two drops of blood did not mix at all. The emperor was angry and asked someone to get Zhou Sheng's blood. Only to see that the Thirteenth Princess's blood slowly mixed with Zhou Sheng's blood.

There is nothing to say. The Thirteenth Princess is not of royal blood at all. She is the child born from the affair between Concubine Yong and Zhou Sheng.

"Asshole! Li, you dare to cause chaos in the harem and confuse the royal heir! You are so bold! Come, hang her and her adulterer Zhou Sheng. I want to see them die with my own eyes!"

"Your Majesty! I beg you, for the sake of my years of service to you, please release Thirteen. She is innocent, she is just a child! Your Majesty!"

The emperor was so furious that he could not hear what Concubine Yong said at all. He ordered his men to hang Concubine Yong and Zhou Sheng on the spot.

The Thirteenth Princess watched her mother being killed with her own eyes, her eyes were filled with gray. Lu Yanluo couldn't bear it and raised her hand to block the child's gaze.

"Didn't you say that Mother would come and play with me in a little while?"

Lu Yanluo was speechless and didn't know what to say. In this matter, the most innocent person was the ignorant Thirteenth Princess.

But Lu Yanluo had no control over whether she stayed or left.

After the matter calmed down, news spread in the palace that the Thirteenth Princess had died of illness, but that is a story for later.

Now that Concubine Yong's conspiracy has been exposed and Lu Yanluo's goal has been achieved, she naturally wants the emperor to release Lu.

The emperor was suspicious, so he brought the seventh prince to perform a blood test on the spot. Only after confirming that the seventh prince was indeed his child did he order Lu to be released.

Although the emperor knew very well that he had wronged Lu, he only compensated her with some gold, silver and jewelry and was done with it. After that, he rarely set foot in Yilan Palace again.

Lu Yanluo struck while the iron was hot and took the opportunity to bring the Eleventh Princess to the Emperor the next day.

Looking at the child in front of him, the emperor was stunned. He obviously didn't remember that she was his daughter. Lu Yanluo couldn't help but feel sorry for the Eleventh Princess.

But the eleventh princess seemed to have expected this, and did not mind it. Instead, she bowed generously: "Eleventh Princess greets Father."

The emperor smiled awkwardly and asked the eleventh princess, "You are already this old, do you have something to ask your father?"

Eleven paused and talked about his mother. The emperor no longer remembered who Jingpin was or what she looked like, but he still remembered that he wanted to execute the woman who had betrayed him. How ridiculous.

The Eleventh Princess' calmness and forbearance made the emperor feel guilty, and he immediately ordered the release of Concubine Jing so that the mother and daughter could be reunited.

The farce in the harem was resolved, but the concubines in the palace were in a panic and seldom went out, for fear that another Zhou Sheng would appear and disturb everyone's peace.

At the same time, the previous dynasty was even more lively. The war in the northern border was in full swing. The enemy army was unstoppable, conquering cities and territories along the way. The emperor sent many generals to the northern border, but without exception, they were defeated repeatedly.

Seeing the money pouring in and soldiers rushing to the front line to no avail, the emperor was exhausted.

On this day, a letter from the enemy army was brought to the capital along with the battle report from Northern Frontier. The King of Northern Frontier bluntly stated that if the enemy wanted to take the life of the Sixth Prince Chu Han, they should withdraw their troops immediately and cede all 32 cities within 500 miles south of Northern Frontier to the King of Northern Frontier, otherwise Chu Han would be killed.

Thirty-two cities represent half of Tianji's territory. How could the emperor be willing to hand over his territory to others?

When the letter reached the palace, Concubine Xian could no longer sit still and went straight to Taiji Hall to plead for Chu Han.

The emperor was extremely annoyed and kept muttering about being too soft-hearted, but in the end he remembered that Chu Han was his own flesh and blood and could not bear to see him die in a foreign land, so he sent people secretly to the northern border to rescue Chu Han.

Night Palace.

Chu Xuan fell silent after receiving the message. This was clearly a trap. Since the King of Northern Frontier dared to send a letter, he must have made complete preparations. If he sent people to rescue him at this moment, they would definitely never come back.

After much deliberation, and in order to match his image of being seriously ill, Chu Xuan wrote a barely readable memorial with his left hand, in which he bluntly stated that Chu Han could not be saved, that the Northern Frontier had already planned this, and that this trip was extremely dangerous.

The emperor might not even look at other things, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, he still values ​​Chu Xuan's ideas very much, and can't help but hesitate whether to send someone to rescue.

When the news reached Fenghua Palace, Concubine Xian flew into a rage: "Chu Xuan has bad intentions. He wishes Han'er would die in Northern Frontier. No! I'm going to find him and ask him about this!"

The virtuous concubine was in a rage and went straight to Prince Ye's mansion. When she arrived, she refused to go in and stood outside the mansion and spoke nonsense.

“Chu Xuan, you wrote to His Majesty to stop His Majesty from sending people to rescue Chu Han. What exactly do you want to do? Do you think that as long as Chu Han dies in the Northern Frontier, no one will compete with you for the throne? I tell you, you are dreaming!”

In the Night King's Mansion, Chu Xuan sat leisurely in the yard brewing tea, as if he didn't hear the shouting outside.

Lu Yanluo sat aside, staring at Chu Xuan in confusion.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask. Why are you staring at me?" Chu Xuan teased.

Lu Yanluo snorted coldly: "I'm just curious, why are you meddling in other people's business? Now her mother is cursing outside your house, let me see what you can do."

Chu Xuan smiled calmly, and his hands moved slowly and leisurely, which was pleasing to the eye: "I'm just doing my best. As for her? Humph, someone will naturally take her away. I don't need to worry about it."
