Concubine Xuan was so angry that her face turned black: "Ye Xingchen, stop pretending to be stupid. I know it's you. Tell me, how are you going to let Prince Mo go?"

"I can let Prince Mo go, but that depends on what conditions Concubine Xuan can offer." Ye Xingchen asked calmly.

"Whatever you want, I will give it to you as long as you let Prince Mo go!" Concubine Xuan said with a serious face.

"Then let's see what Concubine Xuan can give me?"

"Ye Xingchen, power, status, money, you choose whichever you want?" Concubine Xuan looked over.

"Then please let Concubine Xuan be my princess." Ye Xingchen teased her deliberately.

As expected, as soon as the words came out, Concubine Xuan's face changed immediately: "Ye Xingchen, are you crazy? You, a daughter of a merchant, actually want to be a princess. Stop daydreaming. I can't help you with this one. Why don't you find someone else?"

"What if I want to be the queen?"

Concubine Xuan's eyes were sharp and deadly: "Ye Xingchen, don't be unreasonable. I can't even be the queen, so how can I let you be the queen?"

"Then there is nothing to talk about. My Ye family has plenty of money." Ye Xingchen snorted coldly.

Concubine Xuan was even more furious: "Ye Xingchen, what do you want?"

"Concubine Xuan can't give me what I want, and I don't need what she gives me, so there is no need for us to continue talking." After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he stood up and left.

When Concubine Xuan saw that she was about to leave, she became even more anxious: "Stop!"

Ye Xingchen didn't even turn his head and ignored Concubine Xuan behind him.

Concubine Xuan angrily threw the teacup on the table to the ground. She hated it so much, but her identity could not be exposed, so she could only endure it.

"Damn Ye Xingchen, I will deal with you sooner or later." Concubine Xuan immediately put on her hat and left.

After Ye Xingchen left the teahouse, a figure pulled her into the carriage. Just as she was about to take action, she recognized the person next to her.

"Regent, why is it you?" Ye Xingchen asked in surprise.

"I missed you. I went back to face the wall for a few days and dreamed of you every night. You, a heartless little thing, didn't even bother to come see me, so I came to find you.

Don't worry about Ye Lao San's imperial examination. I have already kept an eye on Prince Mo and Concubine Xuan's people and will never let them interfere." Cang Boyi replied.

"Thank you, Regent." Ye Xingchen said.

"Why are you being so polite to me? Your family is my family."

Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "You are quite good at getting close to people."

"I am just telling the truth." Cang Boyi said as he handed over a few boxes.

Ye Xingchen opened it and took a look: "So many jewels?"

"Well, they were all made by the skilled craftsmen in my photos, and the patterns were also designed by me. Do you like them?" Cang Boyi asked.

Ye Xingchen was a little surprised: "I didn't expect the Regent to understand this."

"I don't understand, but I am willing to learn for you."

Ye Xingchen felt a little more touched in his heart: "Since it was given by the Regent, I like it very much." Then he picked up a hairpin and put it on his head.

"It's really beautiful. I will buy all your jewelry from now on." Cang Boyi said generously.

"Okay, I won't be polite then."

"You don't have to be polite to me. Everything I have is yours and you can command me at will." Cang Boyi said lovingly.

Ye Xingchen was amused by him. After this incident, she found that the Regent had improved a lot and could speak now.

"Don't meet Concubine Xuan alone in the future. I'm afraid she will do something bad to you." Cang Boyi warned.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to trick. It's still unclear who will trick whom this time." A hint of pride appeared on Ye Xingchen's face.

She has already sent someone to deliver the message to the Queen. The Queen will definitely not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Cang Boyi knew that she was as cunning as a fox, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just held Ye Xingchen's hand tighter.

On this side, Concubine Xuan hurried back to the palace, but she had just returned to her courtyard and had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief. However, when she saw the people in the room, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Princess Xuan, where have you been?" the emperor asked sternly.

Concubine Xuan's face turned pale, and she then noticed the maid and eunuch kneeling in the room. They were covered in blood and it was obvious that they had been tortured.

"Empress Xuan, I am asking you a question!" the emperor roared.

At first, the Queen told him that Concubine Xuan was pretending to be crazy, but the Emperor naturally didn't believe it and scolded the Queen. It was only when the Queen said that if what she said this time was false, she would ask to be deposed as Queen that the Emperor believed it.

As a result, the emperor followed the empress to Concubine Xuan's courtyard, but did not see anyone there. This made the emperor more suspicious.

The queen immediately tortured these servants, but they could not bear it, so they all confessed in a few moments.

"Empress Xuan, His Majesty is asking you a question. Are you crazy? Why would you leave the palace? You took advantage of His Majesty's friendship for you and deceived His Majesty. You are so bold!" The Queen snorted coldly.

Today, a note suddenly appeared in the palace, saying that Concubine Xuan had left the palace.

Naturally, the Queen did not believe it at the time and thought it was a trap set by Concubine Xuan. After all, this woman was ruthless, but what if it was true?

As a result, the Queen sent people to keep an eye on Concubine Xuan's yard and also sent people to inquire at the palace gate, and sure enough, they found a carriage leaving the palace.

So the Queen immediately went to see His Majesty, using her position as a bargaining chip, and begged the Emperor to go to Concubine Xuan's courtyard.

As a result, she really made the right bet.

"Empress Xuan, please save me." The maids and servants immediately asked for help.

Concubine Xuan knew that she could no longer hide it, so she knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. I just care about you too much and I'm afraid of losing you."

"What Concubine Xuan said is really ridiculous. Do you lie to Your Majesty just because you care about Him? Do you know how worried and sad Your Majesty is when you pretend to be crazy? He has to deal with state affairs during the day and rush to take care of you at night.

You saw His Majesty exhausted and unwell because of your affairs, but you didn't feel sorry for him. Are you soft-hearted? Is this how you treat His Majesty sincerely?" The queen deliberately asked back.

"I didn't. I really like Your Majesty and care about You. I am afraid of being punished by Your Majesty. I have no choice but to do this." Concubine Xuan knew that she was in the wrong. If she did not admit it, it would only disappoint His Majesty even more.

The emperor was furious and extremely resentful: "Concubine Xuan, I am devoted to you, and you dare to deceive me. Is this how you repay me?"

Before Concubine Xuan could explain, the Queen spoke up: "Before, Concubine Xuan practiced witchcraft in the palace and manipulated the birth dates of the emperor and your majesty. As a result, she was struck by lightning. At that time, Concubine Xuan suddenly went crazy, so your majesty could not bear to punish her.

Now the truth has come to light, Concubine Xuan deliberately pretended to be crazy to win the sympathy of His Majesty and avoid punishment. You trampled on His Majesty's sincerity towards you, Concubine Xuan, you are so cruel. "

Every word the queen spoke was like a gem.

The emperor really loved Concubine Xuan and cared about her. He didn't even care about her conspiracy against him and the prince. But she treated him like this. She deserved to die.

The emperor was already very dissatisfied with the matter between Prince Mo and the ghost soldiers. Now that he knew that Concubine Xuan had been deceiving him, how could he not be angry?

"Empress Xuan deceived the emperor and practiced witchcraft in the imperial palace, which was detrimental to the crown prince. Her crime is heinous. Come, strip Concubine Xuan of her title, demote her to a commoner, and send her to the cold palace!" the emperor roared.
