"Our people reported that Concubine Xuan's courtyard was struck by lightning. They said that Concubine Xuan asked a Taoist priest to perform a ritual using the birth dates of the crown prince and the emperor. As a result, both the Taoist priest and Concubine Xuan were struck by lightning." Su Ruoan explained.

Ye Xingchen understood: "I have already guessed it. This is all done by Concubine Xuan. After all, she does not want the Crown Prince to be well."

"But why does she even want to scheme against the emperor?" Zhan Bai asked in confusion.

Su Ruoan shook her head: "Concubine Xuan is the only favorite in the harem. Everything she has is given by the emperor. Logically, she shouldn't scheme against the emperor. After all, the emperor is still young, right?"

Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Someone took advantage of the chaos to frame Concubine Xuan."

"Miss Ye is smart, I think so too. It's a pity that even after all this, Concubine Xuan has not been brought down. All the evidence and witnesses point to Concubine Xuan, so guess what happened?

After Concubine Xuan woke up, she went crazy and helped the emperor block an arrow from an assassin. She is now being treated by the imperial physician." Su Ruoan replied.

Ye Xingchen sneered: "It's just self-directed and self-acted."

"Yes, Concubine Xuan has the emperor under her control. Her method is really clever." Su Ruoan couldn't help but admire her.

The prince's face was solemn: "My mother must be very angry. She has been humiliated by Concubine Xuan all these years."

Su Ruoan nodded: "The Queen really hated her to death. This time she almost overthrew Concubine Xuan, but she escaped again."

"It is I who made mother worry." There was a hint of self-blame in the prince's voice.

"Prince, there is no need to blame yourself. This is not your fault. It can only be said that Concubine Xuan is cruel to others and even crueler to herself. The reason why the Queen couldn't bring down Concubine Xuan is simply because she didn't hit her weak spot." Ye Xingchen comforted.

"Seven inches?" The prince looked over in confusion.

"Well, it is said that one should strike the snake at its most vulnerable part. The reason why Concubine Xuan is the only favorite in the harem is because of His Majesty's favor. If the emperor's favor is gone, how can she still be so arrogant?" Ye Xingchen asked back.

The prince sighed deeply: "I know this, and my mother knows it too, but my father only has Concubine Xuan in his heart and my mother has tried many ways, but none of them worked."

"Prince, do you know what your Majesty fears the most?"

The prince thought about it seriously: "The relatives of the emperor are monopolizing power, the ministers in the court are colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, and some of them are more powerful than the emperor."

"Smart! Concubine Xuan's mother's family is very powerful. Just put any one of these three hats on her." Ye Xingchen said very easily.

The prince looked at her in shock, his eyes full of excitement and joy: "Miss Ye is indeed wise. I know what to do now."

"That's good."

Su Ruoan watched Ye Xingchen and the prince chatting enthusiastically, and became even more anxious: "The day of sacrifice will be here in a few days. How should the regent deal with this?"

Zhan Bai's face also tensed up a bit: "Usually, the sacrifice takes a whole day. I'm afraid the regent's body can't hold out for a day."

Ye Xingchen immediately looked at Cang Boyi who was still sleeping not far away, and there was a bit more heartache in his phoenix eyes.

"Prince, have you ever thought about inheriting that position in the future?" Ye Xingchen asked seriously.

The prince was slightly surprised, then replied: "I used to eat medicine all day long, never thought about it, I just wanted to live on until I died.

But since I learned that I was poisoned by Concubine Xuan, and she wanted to get rid of me to pave the way for Prince Mo, I also want to fight for it.

In fact, I don’t care whether I can win or not, I just want to avenge myself. Isn’t this very selfish of me?”

"No, I always take revenge. Others deliberately harm you, so why should you repay evil with kindness? This is how it should be. When the time comes for the sacrifice, I will give you a big gift." Ye Xingchen said solemnly.

"What gift?" the prince was puzzled.

"I'll keep it a secret for now, you'll know when the time comes. Just take good care of yourself these days." Ye Xingchen said and turned away.

The corner of Su Ruoan's mouth twitched. Why did he feel like he was shooting himself in the foot at the Regent?

He clearly wanted Ye Xingchen to care more about the Regent, but how did it become a gift from her to the Crown Prince? If the Regent woke up and knew about this, he would definitely skin him alive.

The prince looked at Ye Xingchen's back with burning eyes.

Ye Xingchen had no idea what they were thinking, she went straight to Ye Xiaoan's room next door.

Ye Xiaoan just woke up after summoning the ghost soldiers. After waking up, he was very scared because he remembered that he had summoned the ghost soldiers before.

Now that my sister knows that he has summoned the evil soldiers, she will definitely be disgusted and hate her. After all, those are ominous things.

Ye Xiaoan was worried and confused about how to explain it to his sister.

Suddenly the door was pushed open and Ye Xingchen walked in: "You're awake."

Ye Xiaoan shuddered and looked over quickly: "Sister, do you hate me?"

"Why do you ask?" Ye Xingchen was puzzled.

"I, I summoned the ghost soldiers before. You must think it was scary. I was just thinking about protecting everyone at that time, but those ghost soldiers almost hurt everyone." Ye Xiaoan blamed himself.

Ye Xingchen walked over and touched his head: "Little fool, I told you before that I need you. In fact, what I need is the ghost soldiers you summoned. That's why I came to you.

This is your strength. Not everyone who is born in an unlucky year, at an unlucky time or on an unlucky day can be summoned. It can be said that you can only pick one out of every ten.

So you are very powerful. With such ability, if you use it on the battlefield in the future, you will definitely win without losing a single soldier.

I came to you to ask you to do me a favor. You can go with me to the sacrificial ceremony in a few days."

Ye Xiaoan looked at Ye Xingchen in disbelief: "Sister, you really won't dislike me?"

"Of course not. You are my treasure and secret weapon. Don't underestimate yourself. Just because you can summon ghost soldiers, you can be comparable to a general in the battlefield.

It's just that you don't know how to control them yet, and you don't know how to make them work the best, so the ghost soldiers can't be controlled and hurt their own people. I'm here to teach you how to control them." Ye Xingchen explained his purpose.

Ye Xiaoan was stunned: "Sister, you can do it too?"

"Of course, I can not only control the ghost soldiers, but also the gods, demons and evil spirits, so you still have a lot to learn from me." Ye Xingchen said and started teaching immediately.

Ye Xiaoan listened carefully, learned seriously, and practiced again and again. It was a rare opportunity for his sister to need him, so he had to practice to his best.

Four days later, the Regent finally woke up.

He opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. When he looked at the prince opposite him, he was slightly surprised: "Prince, why are you here?"

"Hello, uncle. Like my uncle, I have come to Miss Ye to seek detoxification. Miss Ye has already told me about my uncle's affairs. I didn't expect that my father would treat him like this. It's really too much." The prince replied respectfully.

Cang Boyi froze. Ye Xingchen actually told the prince about this. What is the relationship between them?
