"Your Majesty, now that your body is fine, I will take my leave."

The Queen did not want to stay here and continued to play along with Emperor Yong.

This Yangxin Palace... every brick, tile and pillar here witnessed her most humble and humiliating moments.

After the queen finished speaking, she was about to stand up, but Emperor Yong grabbed her wrist again.

The Queen suddenly felt uncomfortable, and Emperor Yong spoke in a deep voice:

"Queen, was this arranged by Zhan'er?"

When the queen heard this, her heart skipped a beat, but her expression did not change.

"I don't understand what your Majesty is saying."

Emperor Yong sneered and suddenly exerted force with his hands.

The queen was caught off guard and was pulled onto Emperor Yong.

When Huang Pei saw this scene, he was so shocked that he turned around quickly.

Emperor Yong had already leaned close to the Queen's ear. He breathed in the familiar yet long-lost fragrance, which was faint and warm.

After so many years, the fragrance she likes to use has not changed.

"Queen, you really don't understand what I'm saying?"

"You led me to Concubine Jing's place, and I heard rumors about the third brother. The third brother is a man of great courage. He intervened in the matter, which shocked and angered me, and I ordered the whole palace to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"At this point, the matter of the second brother can be brought up in a logical way. I think only Zhan'er has the ability to take charge of the overall situation."

"Queen, have I ever said anything wrong?"

The Queen's heart beat violently when she heard this, she knew that Emperor Yong would not be able to hide this matter in the end, but she didn't expect that he could think so calmly when he was so excited after learning about the Second Prince's life experience!

But she still said, "Your Majesty, I really don't understand what you are talking about."

At this time, the queen's thoughts were in turmoil, and she was thinking about how to deal with Emperor Yong. Instead, she no longer felt nauseous.

How will His Majesty deal with this? Is it possible that the Second Son’s background is less concerning to him than Zhan’er’s calculations?

The Queen denied it again and again, but Emperor Yong did not get angry.

He suddenly opened his arms and hugged the queen tightly.

He buried his head in the queen's shoulders and neck, and the long-lost warm contact made him tremble all over.

This was... the feeling of security that he craved so much.

The queen's whole body stiffened suddenly. The next moment, she could no longer bear it and raised her hand to forcefully push Emperor Yong away.

She was so scared that she stood up from the couch, her face turned pale and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

“You…you…”

Emperor Yong opened his empty arms, suddenly turned around and lay down again, facing inward and said:

"Back off."

The queen turned around and left without hesitation, forgetting even to greet him. Her steps were staggering and she almost fled in panic.

Huang Pei saw this scene and sighed deeply in his heart.

At this time, Emperor Yong suddenly said in a muffled voice: "Huang Pei, I... seem to be ill."

Huang Pei immediately turned around when he heard this, only to see that Emperor Yong had already sat up.

At this time, Emperor Yong's left hand was pressing on his right wrist, and his right hand was shaking uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty!"

Huang Pei was shocked when he saw this. What...what was going on?

"Your Majesty, I will summon the imperial physician right away!"

"No need."

Emperor Yong shook his head, no longer panicking as he did when he first "fell ill".

"They are all quacks. Let's wait for Zou Qi to come back. If Zou Qi can't figure it out either..."

Before Emperor Yong could finish his words, there was a knock on the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Huang Pei was already in a state of panic because of Emperor Yong's strange behavior. When he saw Emperor Yong hiding his hands in the quilt, he had no choice but to stop talking and shouted, "Come in!"

If people from the lower classes found the Yangxin Palace, it was usually a very important matter.

A eunuch pushed the door open cautiously. He did not dare to look up, but knelt down and reported:

"Your Majesty, Tan Xiuzhuan requests to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Pei hurriedly looked at Emperor Yong.

The emperor has always kept Tan Xiuzhuan in the imperial study and has given him important positions. He has had many dealings with Tan Xiuzhuan and knows that he is a very sensible person. If it were not a major matter, he would not have come to the emperor at this time.

Emperor Yong obviously also understood Tan Hanchi and nodded immediately.

Huang Pei immediately said, "Xuan Tan, the editor, come to the Yangxin Palace!"

Tan Hanchi hurried all the way from the imperial study, having rehearsed his speech countless times in his mind. As soon as he entered the Yangxin Palace, he told the whole story of the Huguo Temple.

Emperor Yong was sitting on the couch, his face changing several times as he listened. When he learned that the person in charge was named Jinzhu, he suddenly started coughing violently.

Huang Pei knew clearly why Emperor Yong had such a big reaction.

Concubine Yu brought a lot of people from the Northern Kingdom back then. Besides the guards Zhou Liu and Liu Xi, those who often served her were also the nanny Chu Rou and the two personal maids Jin Zhu and Yin Zhu!

Before her death, Concubine Yu begged for mercy. Except for giving Zhou Liu and Liu Xi to the Second Prince, all the others were released from the palace and set free.

But unexpectedly, Jinzhu had never left. In the past ten years, she had done such a cruel thing in Yong Dynasty!

If all this was instructed by Concubine Yu, and if the Second Prince was not born to His Majesty, then his intention to steal the country is obvious!

A small gold bead can do these things, what about Chu Rou and Yin Zhu?

Huang Pei remembered very clearly that Chu Rou was a useful person. Ever since she followed Concubine Yu into the palace, she had always done things perfectly.

As for Yinzhu, she is an extremely beautiful maid. If she is also following orders, I'm afraid she will be of great use!

Thinking of this, even Huang Pei felt a chill down his spine.

Queen Jade Concubine...what a good trick!

If he could figure it out, His Majesty would naturally think deeper and more thoroughly than him.

No, to be honest, His Majesty is always confused about the affairs of Concubine Yu!

This time the people have been angered. If Your Majesty continues to cover up the crime, the consequences will be disastrous!

Emperor Yong leaned on the pillow, and by the time Tan Hanchi finished speaking, his right hand was already shaking so badly that he could no longer hide it.

Huang Pei hurried forward and lowered the bed curtain. Emperor Yong's hoarse voice came slowly:

"Where are those dead soldiers and children placed now?"

Tan Hanchi was slightly stunned when he heard this. Even he did not expect that the first thing Emperor Yong cared about was this issue.

He reported truthfully: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of young assassins. Although the children are young, their minds have also been confused. They are still tied up in the farm and have not yet been found."

Emperor Yong fiercely pressed his right hand and said in a deep voice:

"Pass the order down, and let the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Qiao Tianjing be fully responsible for the placement of the dead soldiers and children. He should sort out the names and trace the origins. If you need to allocate funds, report it directly. Don't hesitate to do a good job of the aftermath at all costs."

Tan Hanchi immediately accepted the order.

Emperor Yong added: "All the thieves from the Huguo Temple and the spies from the Northern Kingdom have been arrested and brought to justice. They will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate in three days to appease the people's anger."

"Bring all the main criminals to the palace, including Jinzhu. I want to interrogate them personally!"

Tan Hanchi kowtowed and accepted the order: "Yes!"

After Tan Hanchi left, Huang Pei hurriedly lifted the bed curtain. He was about to persuade Emperor Yong to see other doctors first, but Emperor Yong looked at his right hand and muttered to himself:

"I originally thought that he was like his mother, gentle and self-disciplined, but it turns out that deep down, he is more like me."

"Huang Pei, look at his interlocking tactics, they are so similar to what I did back then."

"It's time, it's time..."

When Huang Pei heard this, his emotions were in turmoil and he was so nervous that his legs even felt weak.

It seems that His Majesty has already made a choice in his mind!
