In a flash, more than a month has passed.
There has been no news from the prince, and everyone has assumed that he is no longer alive.
Some people in the government are already ready to make a move.
Prince Zhongshun was also thinking that it was time to contact a few people and discuss the matter of reinstating the crown prince.
Yan Shiyue has been living in the palace for some time, but today she heard that Meng Min was frightened when she went out and had a miscarriage.
Yan Shiyue left the palace immediately, but met the third prince at the palace gate.
The two of them had been getting along indifferently for a while, but seeing that the Third Prince was alone, not riding a horse, and looked distraught, Yan Shiyue still asked, "Third brother, are you okay?"
The third prince looked up suddenly, with a strange smile still on his face.
When he saw it was her, the Third Prince quickly wiped his face and hastily gave a fake smile, "Yuer? What's wrong?"
She asked him, "Are you okay? Where are the people following you?"
...
...
"Ah?" The Third Prince said quickly, "Nothing! What could possibly happen to me? Haha." The Third Prince laughed dryly and said, "I was just thinking about something and my mind was distracted for a moment."
She didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and prepared to leave.
The third prince said to Jiahe, "Give me a horse."
Jia and a few others allocated a horse for him. The Third Prince rode with Yan Shiyue and asked her, "Where are you going?"
Yan Shiyue said: "My mother was a little frightened today. I am worried, so I will go back to check on her."
"Oh!" The Third Prince did not ask any more questions. A group of people rode out quickly, and the Third Prince followed them all the way to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Yan Shiyue said, "I'm home now. I'll leave you. Please do as you please, Third Brother?"
"Yeah." The third prince woke up as if from a dream, looked around and nodded.
She always felt that his expression was too strange, and couldn't help but ask again: "Third brother, are you okay? Do you need my help?"
The third prince looked at her with a complicated expression.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Yuer, tell me, does every mother love her child the most?"
Yan Shiyue frowned.
She said: "I don't think all mothers love their children. But 99% of them definitely do."
"Well," the Third Prince nodded, "I was just... just asking casually. I'm leaving now."
He turned his horse to leave, but Yan Shiyue said, "But Third Brother, I think you have to remember one thing. Although mother loves you, not everything she says is right. Sometimes, things that are done 'for your own good' or 'for you' may not be good for you. People have different insights and experiences. There are many people who mean well but do bad things. You have to be able to distinguish them."
The Third Prince looked at her deeply and said, "I know. I will explain it well."
He let his horse go.
As Yan Shiyue walked in, he instructed Jiahe to go to the palace and tell Gu Jiuxing what had just happened.
She always wondered if Empress Su was trying to stir up trouble. Otherwise, the Third Prince wouldn't be so weird.
The third prince rode his horse at full speed all the way, feeling that what was hidden in his heart was about to burst out. He wanted to shout, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it calmly.
He didn't know why he asked Yan Shiyue such a question.
But I asked it accidentally.
Let’s put it this way, there are so many princes and princesses in the palace, but in his heart, all the princes are rivals, and the princesses... are nothing.
Over the years, only Yan Shiyue gave him a feeling of brother or sister. It was the kind of feeling that "although I don't like you very much, if you really encounter difficulties and ask me for help, I will help you. If you don't understand something, I will scold you, but I will also teach you while scolding you."
He never felt humiliated when he begged her.
Even now, he always had a strange feeling of wanting her approval.
She was obviously ruthless, but on the one hand he felt that she might smash his head, but on the other hand he felt that she would not harm him.
He would never kill her while he was in that position.
Really. Definitely.
Jiahe entered the palace and told Gu Jiuxing about the matter. Gu Jiuxing also did his duty conscientiously and found an opportunity to tell Emperor Ming Yan.
Emperor Mingyan snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry about him."
He already knew that Prince Zhongshun had contacted people in private, wanting to ask for permission to reinstate the crown prince! How impatient he was!
A smart person will never guess the thought process of a fool. Emperor Ming Yan really didn't take it seriously.
After he finished his work, he went directly to Yonghe Palace.
Ever since the flood in Bianzhou, he had not been to the harem. It was only in the past few days that he started going to Yonghe Palace again.
Queen Su didn't know that her son was so impatient that he actually revealed his true colors in front of Yan Shiyue.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't be too anxious, because even if they started to react now, it would be too late... After tonight, the mountains and rivers will change color, and everything will be different!
In the harem, many methods cannot be used because it is troublesome to remove oneself afterwards. But what if you don't need to consider removing yourself? If you don't need to consider the follow-up, then it is not difficult to do anything you want.
First of all, in order to avoid Yan Shiyue's weird luck, she needed to get her out of the way.
She took advantage of Meng Min and made her have a miscarriage... Things went smoothly. Meng Min did have a miscarriage, but she didn't suspect anything. Yan Shiyue also went back to see her. She was worried and would definitely stay at home for a few days.
Secondly, there is the only person who could possibly do something bad. The Queen Mother had added several times more sleeping pills to her daily tonic, and she had been taking them for three days. The Queen Mother was obviously not in good spirits, and she fell asleep and couldn't be woken up even if she was called.
And she put the drug in the stuffing of the crab.
The information I had found out a long time ago finally came in handy. Emperor Mingyan and the Imperial Concubine both liked to eat Crab Biro. It was said that there was some disgusting story in the past, so as long as it was served, they would definitely eat it! Even if they didn't eat it, Hun Yang Mo Hu was also put in it! Recently, Emperor Mingyan asked the palace to reduce expenses. Hun Yang Mo Hu was not often made, so how could they use a few chopsticks!
They can't escape!
However, this medicine will only take effect after two hours, and even the eunuchs tasting the food can’t help!
It is said that when an attack occurs, the mouth and tongue become numb, the limbs become weak, and the person becomes unable to call out. Then the person slowly dies in agony! Unless someone lies on the face to look at it, they will not be able to tell that something is wrong!
But it just so happened that, recently, the Imperial Concubine couldn't sleep well because she was worried about the Crown Prince, so she would fumigate Yan Shiyue's essential oils and secretly replace the essential oils with sleeping smoke. These people would then sleep very deeply and could not be woken up even if they were called!
In other words, no one would discover this matter until the morning, when the court was about to start.
By then, she, as the queen, would be the only one who could take charge of the overall situation.
Foolproof!
It turned out just as she thought.
Emperor Ming Yan and the Imperial Noble Consort used both Xie Biluo and Hun Yang Mo Hu.
After they had their meal and chatted for a while, they went to bed early.
As for Yan Shiyue, Meng Min was frightened and had a miscarriage. After the imperial physician gave her two doses of medicine, Meng Min fell into a deep sleep.
Yan Shiyue was worried and stayed with her for half the night until Yan Chengyuan came back, and then he returned to Fu Yan Mansion.
It was getting late, and she didn't return to the palace, but went straight to bed.
