Yue Nanxuan strode forward, stared into the Queen Mother's eyes and whispered, "Mother, did Father leave any last words before he died?"
The Queen Mother was shocked and flew into a rage, "Your Majesty, do you believe in rumors? Are you questioning me so loudly because you doubt me?"
Yue Nanxuan shook his head, "Mother, I am not questioning you, I just want to know the truth. This is related to the brotherhood between me and Nanchen!"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Now that you are the emperor and he is the Prince of Yongnan, it is not right for the two of you to work together to protect Nanyue? Why do you have to listen to other people's rumors?"
Yue Nanxuan shook his head. "Mother, there is no smoke without fire, especially for palace secrets like this. Who would dare to speak out without solid evidence? I just want to ask you, mother, did my father leave a will? Did he intend to pass the throne to his younger brother?"
The Queen Mother stood up from the phoenix couch coldly, "Your Majesty, I will tell you that there is no will, absolutely not. Your father has never wanted to make Nanchen the emperor. The person he favored from the beginning to the end was you!"
"Me?" Yue Nanxuan laughed sarcastically. Everyone knew that among these eight princes, if the emperor was given a choice and asked to strangle one of his sons to death, he would put his hand around his neck without hesitation.
Seeing that Yue Nanxuan didn't believe her, the Queen Mother didn't want to say anything more. She just rubbed her brows tiredly and asked, "Your Majesty, how are you going to deal with Chen'er?"
Yue Nanxuan shook his head. He really didn't know how to deal with Yue Nanchen. Just now in the Lanshui Clinic, he was determined to protect Lan Shuiyao's safety. Coupled with Yue Nanchen's words, he was furious and threw Yue Nanchen into jail.
Now think about it, which of the two brothers is sitting here?
What difference does it make to the throne? The most important thing is how can Yue Nanchen recover from Dong Qing'er's death?
"Mother, if father really has a will, please take it out. I don't want the throne!" Yue Nanxuan whispered. This way he would have a reason to be free. Wouldn't it be great to roam the world with his beloved in the future?
"Your Majesty, I have said that there is no will. If you don't believe me, just throw me into the Sky Prison!" The Queen Mother said coldly and walked down from the phoenix couch.
Yue Nanxuan sighed, "How dare I lock up my mother? Fine, fine, if you say no, then so be it. I'll take my leave now!"
"All of you go down!" she said coldly, dismissing the people around her, then went straight into the bedroom, opened the bed, and took out a scroll of imperial edict from it. This was the will left by the late emperor, which clearly stated that Yue Nanchen would inherit the throne.
But because Yue Nanchen had such a strong desire to kill, she acted on her own and forged an imperial decree to let Yue Nanxuan sit on the throne. Time has proved that her choice was not wrong.
Although Yue Nanxuan looks unruly on the surface, he actually loves the people like his own children.
The Queen Mother sat in front of the couch and pondered for a long time, but still could not figure out a clue. No matter what, keeping the edict would eventually cause trouble. She put the edict on the bed and turned to look for a fire starter.
However, he did not expect that the window frame was suddenly pierced, and a masked man in a green shirt broke into the bedroom, grabbed the will on the bed, and quickly jumped out.
"Come here, catch the assassin!" The Queen Mother was startled and shouted immediately. The guards outside the door all rushed in. "There is an assassin. Pass on my imperial decree. If the assassin is caught, he will be executed!" The Queen Mother shouted urgently, "Don't alarm the Emperor,
quick!"
The guards took orders and quickly searched the entire palace, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find even a trace of him.
"What? Nothing found? What on earth are you doing? Search for me, even if we have to turn this garden upside down, we must catch the assassin!" The guards had to search again, but still found nothing. They wanted to search outside the garden, but were afraid of alarming the emperor, so they had to bite the bullet and search the garden again and again.
The Queen Mother sat on the bed trembling all over. She knew that if the edict was made public, Nanyue would be in chaos. What should she do?
As soon as Yue Nanxuan entered the palace, a eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, Prince Yongnan's personal guard Qian Hun wants to see Your Majesty!"
"Qian Hun?" Yue Nanxuan frowned. He often went to Yongnan Palace, so he naturally knew Qian Hun and Bai Ren. He nodded and motioned for him to come in.
Qianhun, dressed in white, hurried into the bedroom and knelt on the ground. "Qianhun pays homage to His Majesty. Your Majesty, Qianhun has something important to report to Your Majesty!"
Sitting upright on the dragon throne, Yue Nanxuan waved his hand tiredly and said, "Tell me, is it because of Yue Nanchen's matter?"
"Your Majesty is wise! I asked Qianhun to tell Your Majesty the truth. At that time, time was tight and I had no choice but to anger Your Majesty. Please calm down!" Qianhun said loudly.
"What's the truth?" Yue Nanxuan was stunned, stood up and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, please send your attendants away and let Qianhun tell you in detail!" Qianhun kowtowed again.
"Alright, alright, all of you go down, and don't come in without my order!" Yue Nanxuan hurriedly drove the palace servants away and immediately got down from the dragon chair, "Just tell me now, I'm so anxious!"
Qianhun raised his head and said, "The Emperor is really angry with me.
"
Yue Nanxuan snorted coldly, "Yes, I am angry. I am angry that he doesn't know what is good for him. He is bewitched by Dong Qing'er! For that woman, he challenged me and even wanted to rebel!"
Qian Hun said quickly, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. I did this just to anger you and get you to lock me up. This way, Prince Changning would take advantage of the situation and reveal his true colors. I really did this for Nanyue!"
Yue Nanxuan was stunned, as if considering the truth of Qianhun's words, "You mean he did it on purpose? Is he acting for me by killing Yaoyao without knowing the truth?"
Qianhun nodded, "My master has already ordered Bai Ren to secretly protect the lady. In order to make King Changning believe, he must do this!"
Qianhun immediately revealed Yue Nanchen's original plan, "Miss Dong's death was beyond my expectation. I could only pretend to kill the lady as originally planned, so that Prince Changning would believe it. I asked Minister Dong to inform Your Majesty so that you could arrive in time to stop it! Your Majesty, please do not doubt my loyalty. I only have Nanyue and Your Majesty in my heart!"
Yue Nanxuan stopped talking, but just frowned coldly, with a cold expression and frost all over his body. Qian Hun had never seen such an emperor before, and he was terrified.
What is it now? He was in agony because he had lost a brother, but he was also excited because he had finally expressed his determination, uttered words of love, and named Yaoyao the Queen.
Now tell him that everything is just a trick to lure Yue Chengning into the trap? What should he do? How embarrassing! He really wants to rush to ** and bite the pillow!
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…” Qian Hun had no idea that Yue
Nan Xuan's little tricks, just seeing his uncertain face, he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Qianhun has received news that Prince Changning has come to Yuecheng and will arrive in half a day. Your Majesty must deploy in advance!"
"Okay, I understand. You go down first and come back to the palace if you have any news. Yue Nanchen is in the Sky Prison now, so I have to take charge myself!" Yue Nanxuan waved his hand lazily, signaling Qianhun to leave.
Qianhun couldn't figure out Yue Nanxuan's true thoughts and felt a little uneasy, but under the current circumstances, this was the only way, so he quickly took his leave and went back to closely monitor King Changning's every move.
As soon as Qianhun left, Yue Nanxuan's brows suddenly drooped, and he turned around dejectedly and threw himself on the bed. After beating it for a while, when he had vented enough, he sat on the bed with his head hung down and sighed heavily.
Suddenly, he raised his face and laughed wickedly. In that case, he would release Yue Nanchen. But as for Yaoyao, she would be made queen. The emperor’s words were golden and could not be changed. In this way, wouldn’t all the brothers have wives?
But this kid acted first and reported later, making him so embarrassed. He must be taught a lesson!
In the sky prison, Yue Nanxuan specially arranged a private room for Lan Shuiyao, serving her with delicious food and drink every day, and a large bucket of hot bath water every day. Yue Nanxuan was afraid that she would be bored, so he catered to her preferences.
On the other side, the adjacent room was a completely different world, with cold and damp walls. Not to mention carpets, there was not even a piece of cloth to be found in the entire room. When Yue Nanchen got tired of sitting, he stood, and when he got tired of standing, he sat.
Every time they ate chicken, he couldn't even get a bone and had to eat the steamed buns dry. When they drank wine, he drank water. Let alone counting money, even raising his head to count the stars was a delusion.
