But in order to ensure that His Royal Highness Prince Li could obtain the position of Crown Prince, you instigated him to kill Qian Yeming since he was a child. It can be said that His Royal Highness Prince Li's death was absolutely caused by you!"
After hearing this, Concubine Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, and was shocked that this spineless guy could know so much.
"I'm not afraid to tell the Concubine that every concubine, young lady, and prince has his own people in their palaces. Although the Emperor is weak by nature, he is extremely keen on grasping power. Therefore, the Emperor knows every one of you're doing on a daily basis.
And the Emperor knows that you, since childhood, have been instigating His Royal Highness Prince Li to obtain the crown prince position."
"So this further proves that Qian Yeming is not qualified to sit on the throne. The Emperor Emeritus originally intended to pass the throne to my child!"
Eunuch De shook his head: "You are wrong! The Emperor has never thought of passing the throne to any of you, because in his heart he is absolutely sure that he can live for another 40 years. Therefore, no matter how fiercely the princes fight, he does not care.
The reason the Retired Emperor didn't intervene in your affairs, Concubine Dowager, is because he enjoys watching you fight. The more fiercely you fight, the more secure his throne will be. The continuous erosion of the power of the ministers and princes is definitely a good thing for the Retired Emperor. That's why he didn't intervene, not because he wanted Prince Li to take the throne.
"Hmph, you are Qian Yeming's lackey now, so of course you should speak well of him." Concubine Ling did not comment.
"Haha, Concubine Ling, the Emperor has already ascended the throne. Is there any point in me arguing with you about this? If there's no point, is there any need for me to lie to you?
The battle for the throne between the princes was merely a matter of skill. However, the emperor, who had shown weakness since childhood and had spent years keeping a low profile, had already surpassed the other princes in power and strategy.
"Concubine Ling, let me tell you something that will make you give up completely. The Emperor has known your tactics since the night Dongfang Ming found Master Ling and plotted to seize the throne."
"You're talking nonsense! Only the Prime Minister and I know about that matter, so stop trying to frame me!"
"You're the only ones who know? What about the initiator, Dongfang Ming? Since Dongfang Ming has such an idea, he will definitely put it into action. To put it bluntly, Dongfang Ming's own asshole is oozing pus, and there's Dongfang Xing behind him who is eyeing him covetously. When you were implementing the plan, didn't you give it a second thought?"
After hearing what Eunuch De said, Concubine Ling felt as if all her strength was drained away in an instant, even her mind was blank.
"Ever since you started discussing how to rebel, the Emperor has been meticulously planning your plans. He captured Chai Jin, captured Dongfang Ming, captured Prince Li, arrested Jing En, and even sent his Kuangfeng to annihilate the Chi Nu clan, with whom Prince Li was in contact.
"Your Highness Prince Li had no chance of victory to begin with. Only you, the Prince of Li, are so convinced you already have it. Concubine Ling, to put it bluntly, you are also one of the rebels. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, and the Emperor has captured even the 500,000 Xiliang and 800,000 Dongxiang soldiers you brought in, do you think the Emperor would have no reason to put you to death?"

(Updated on March 17th)
Tomorrow, the 18th, I will be taking my son to Sanya. I will not be back until the 22nd and will resume updating on the 23rd. On February 28th, I asked for leave in advance for everyone, and added 12 chapters on the 28th as compensation for the lack of updates in these few days. I will also update during the few days in Sanya, but the number is not guaranteed, but I will try my best to fix the time. There have been several times when I went out for a trip and had to terminate my trip because I was in a hurry and did not ask for leave in advance for everyone, so I had to write in the hotel. So this time, I asked for leave half a month in advance and added more chapters in advance as compensation. Let me have a good time! Thank you!
