Yu Jin is very confident that he can defeat Concubine Xian.

Based on his general but not shallow understanding of Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian would definitely be dissatisfied if she knew that he entered the palace yesterday but did not come to Yuquan Palace.

This kind of dissatisfaction might not have been expressed in the past, but it was different after Concubine Xian's plan to steal a chicken from Jiang Si failed and ended up losing the rice.

In all likelihood, Concubine Xian would complain to Emperor Jingming, and Emperor Jingming, who attached great importance to filial piety, would definitely promise Concubine Xian to settle the score with him.

So Yu Jin calculated the time and came to the palace, and took the initiative to ask to visit Concubine Xian.

And this was exactly the first trap he set for Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian had just filed a complaint when she saw him coming. Anyone would have only one thought: he came to visit because the emperor reminded him.

In this way, when Concubine Xian attacked Emperor Jingming in front of him, it would give Emperor Jingming the impression that she had misunderstood him without any basis.

Yu Jian had planned to use a secret conversation to arouse Concubine Xian's interest and to ensure that no third person could hear what was said.

Evidence is needed for everything, especially witness testimony.

In her own territory, no one could testify for Concubine Xian. How credible could Concubine Xian be in the mind of Emperor Jingming? Especially when she had already left a bad impression.

It can be said that the current situation was planned step by step by Yu Jin.

He is a man with a wife and daughter. He can act as he pleases, but he cannot act recklessly. If he dares to do something, he cannot do it just by being brave.

"It is my fault that the queen is so angry. Please punish me, father."

Seeing this, Concubine Xian was so angry that she was shaking all over, her chest heaving violently: "Beast...you actually lied with your eyes open..."

Emperor Jingming was not happy to hear this and reminded him lightly: "Concubine Xian, the Seventh Prince is a prince after all. If he does something wrong, just point it out. Don't let these servants laugh at him."

Concubine Xian was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She had pointed it out a long time ago that this beast didn't even recognize his own mother, but the emperor didn't believe it!

Wait, the emperor doesn't believe it——

Concubine Xian's face became paler and paler, as if she had lost her support and was about to fall.

At the same time, she regained her composure.

In the current situation, the emperor clearly did not believe her. If she insisted on holding on to that evil son, she would only bring disgrace upon herself.

"I lost my composure. I was hurt by the Seventh Prince..." Concubine Xian forced a smile.

Emperor Jingming glared at Yu Jin and shouted, "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Why don't you pay your mother back now!"

Yu Jin bowed to Concubine Xian and said loudly, "It is my fault that you have upset Her Majesty. Please do not hold it against me. It is my fault if you are upset and become ill."

Emperor Jingming laughed and said, "There is no overnight hatred between mother and son. Concubine Xian, the seventh son did not grow up in the palace since he was young, and he does not know the rules. You should be more tolerant of him. It is not worth getting angry with him."

What else could Concubine Xian say? She could only nod.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Emperor Jingming glanced at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin shook his head honestly: "I was originally going to have a heart-to-heart talk with the queen, but now I don't have one."

"If you don't have any, get out of here. Don't stay here and make your mother angry."

Yu Jin stood up, lowered his head and said yes.

Emperor Jingming glanced coldly at the palace maids and nodded slightly to Concubine Xian: "I still have things to discuss with my ministers, so I will leave first. My beloved concubine, have a good rest and don't be impatient and angry anymore."

He was invited twice in one day. If this continues, Concubine Xian will not be able to bear it anymore.

Concubine Xian trembled her lips, unable to utter a word to persuade Emperor Jingming to stay. She could only watch Emperor Jingming leave. She even heard Emperor Jingming call out "Seventh Brother, wait a moment."

Soon, only the concubine was left in Yuquan Palace. Concubine Xian threw a teacup to the ground with a sullen face, gritted her teeth and ordered her trusted maid, "Ask Prince Qi to come into the palace."

Although Emperor Jingming scolded that evil son just now, she had actually already lost.

The Emperor was a man who valued filial piety so much, yet after she criticized her own son like that, he lifted her up high and then put her down so easily. Wasn't this a slap in her face?

As for that evil son, he came to Yuquan Palace from the very beginning just to plot against her and make her lose face in front of the Emperor!

Concubine Xian was well aware that Emperor Jingming was becoming impatient with her.

This is not the emperor's fault. Even if the empress called him over twice in just half a day, the emperor would still be impatient.

If you want to blame someone, blame that cold-hearted bastard!

Concubine Xian was feeling righteous when she heard a cat meowing.

"Meow--"

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white cat standing among the broken porcelain on the ground, lowering its head and sniffing the flowing tea.

"Where did this beast come from?" Concubine Xian disliked cats and dogs very much, and her face changed immediately when she saw this.

The confidant nanny hurriedly reminded: "Madam, this is Jixiang raised by the emperor!"

Concubine Xian paused for a moment, then she realized something and started to think about it.

There has been an unhealthy trend of raising cats in the palace recently. It is because the emperor raised a cat, and everyone else has followed suit.

The white cat was raised by Emperor Jingming, so the palace ladies could not chase it away and they all waited for Concubine Xian's reaction.

Concubine Xian was very annoyed with cats and dogs. She didn't know what to do for a moment and just stared at the white cat.

The white cat meowed, glanced at Concubine Xian, and walked away with light cat steps.

Concubine Xian actually saw contempt in the fat cat's eyes, but it was impossible for her to chase after it and beat it, so she could only breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that this was a very unlucky day.

Emperor Jingming called Yu Jian and walked forward with a stern face, cursing as he walked: "You idiot, you said you came to see Concubine Xian, is this how you see her?"

Yu Jin lowered his eyebrows, his face full of grievance: "Son really didn't expect——"

Emperor Jingming turned his head to look at him: "What did you say to your mother? I know Concubine Xian well. She is not the kind of person who gets angry easily."

Having a bad temper and being easily angry are two different things. Concubine Xian is obviously the kind of person who won't say it even if she is hurt. So how could she be so angry at the idiot Prince Seventh and accuse him of being unfilial in front of so many palace people?

Being unfilial is a very serious crime. If it is proven that the seventh brother is unfilial, he will be in trouble.

Emperor Jingming certainly did not blindly favor Yu Jian, but it was not worth it to make such a big fuss over just a few words of argument between mother and son.

Emperor Jingming was annoyed when he saw his son causing trouble again, and he was also annoyed when he thought of Concubine Xian.

How could a grandmother be so cruel to her own son? If it were the fourth child——

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingming felt a little dissatisfied with Concubine Xian. Of course, this feeling only grew in his heart, and he did not show it on the surface.

No matter how you make your biological mother angry, it is wrong for the son, there is no doubt about that.

"I..." Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, blushing slightly, "I just mentioned the Queen's attitude towards me and Fourth Brother... I didn't expect the Queen to-"

At this point, he laughed at himself and said, "My son shouldn't have mentioned that. Please rest assured, father, I will never do that again."

Emperor Jingming originally wanted to curse him a few more times, but when he saw him like this, he suddenly couldn't continue.

Speaking of the matter, Concubine Xian is indeed a bit biased...

"Okay, don't bring up all sorts of issues from now on. How can you look good if your biological mother accuses you of being unfilial in public?"

"yes."

Emperor Jingming suddenly stopped.

Yu Jin looked at him in confusion.

"We left Jixiang behind."
