Mei Xiang said: "The day before yesterday evening, Lord Yan came to our theater team to see a play. At that time, he was wearing the uniform of the people, and there was nothing special about him. The play we did that day was called "The Emperor's Southern Expedition," and the story was based on wild history. We had done it many times before, and there was no problem with it. However, just as our play was ending, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared, saying that some of the lines in our play hinted at the dissatisfaction of the imperial court, as well as the suspicion of overturning the imperial government. They forcefully threw our crew into prison, and without being interrogated, they said that they wanted to convict us. The crime of conspiracy was to exterminate the nine clans. The class rep was wronged, getting beaten up and having one of his legs broken while alive. At this moment, Lord Yan appeared. He had a condition with me, that if I agreed, he would release the troupe and promise to treat my family well, pay my family a living fee, and if I did not agree, all of us in the troupe would be punished with the crime of conspiracy. I have no choice but to agree. And just like that, I was brought into the palace.

Wen Yi frowned, "Is he really that arrogant?"

Mei Xiang kneeled down and bowed deeply. When she raised her head, there were tears in her eyes as she said, "I beg Empress to save the people from our troupe. We definitely do not have any thoughts of conspiring against you!"

Wen Yi looked at the pleading face in front of him, and sighed in her heart, probably because at that moment, all of the people in the crew had already been silenced. This kind of thing was so dirty, how could they allow anyone to find out about it?

She had Qian Shan investigate and on the second day, Qian Shan returned to the palace and reported: "All of the people have been executed in private. Their corpses have also been thrown onto the unmarked burial site.

Wen Yi had Qian Shan send Mei Xiang out of the palace, so she had to ensure his safety.

Wen Yi could not sit still anymore. The emperor had already fallen into madness, and in order to stop Song Yunqian from growing up, he was even willing to frame her own wife to such an extent, and even used such dirty methods.

She personally went to look for the Ninth King, but the latter shrugged helplessly and said, "Next up, you will see more of these things."

Wen Yi knew that he wasn't just bluffing. She frowned: "We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

The Ninth King looked at her meaningfully and said, "Right now, the most important thing is on the day the three armies return to the imperial court. I believe that there will be a good show to watch."

"What do you mean?" Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat, "What do you know?"

The Ninth Prince said, "Xiao Xiang will be in charge of receiving the returning soldiers, while the Emperor will personally arrange a banquet to reward the generals. You can guess what kind of tricks the banquet will play."

Wen Yi was stunned, "You mean, he would poison dishes and wine?"

"It might not be impossible!" The nine kings said meaningfully.

Wen Yi shook his head, "You shouldn't be so brazen!"

"It's not necessary?" At this point, what can't he do? " The ninth king snorted.

"Did State Advisor tell you all of this? Is he trying to kill his son? " Faint anger pulsed between Wen Yi's brows.

"He tried to poison This King, but he didn't kill This King." The nine kings said in an obscure tone.

Wen Yi understood, he was going to use the same tactic to deal with Song Yunqian and Song Yungang.

"If that is the case, then what is the difference between him and a beast?" Wen Yi shouted in anger.

"There's a difference. A beast wouldn't kill its son, but he will. Have you heard about the news about the Second Prince?" The Ninth King sat on a chair, his hands on his knees, blue veins could be seen on the back of his hands.

Wen Yi shook her head, "Second Prince? "I've never seen him before!"

"Of course you haven't, because this child has already been poisoned by his royal father. Back then, just because of some rumors, he did some malicious things to his own son. And the most ridiculous thing is, the Second Prince is a retarded person! " The Ninth King shook his head and sighed, "Pity that child, he's still as innocent as before. Even in death, I don't know what happened!"

Wen Yi was dumbstruck. Killing a king to kill his father to seize the throne and then killing his son to preserve the throne, was this really the emperor that she was familiar with? She had once thought that he was an enlightened king and a compassionate father, but all of this was just an illusion.

Wen Yi knew that since the nine kings could say this, it was definitely not for no reason. It was definitely news from the State Advisor. Right now, the State Advisor was the emperor's most trusted person, so it could be said that he would even discuss things nonchalantly with him.

Two days had passed since the incident with the Empress and the emperor had not come to the Zevi Palace. That was until news arrived saying that the army would enter the city in seven days.

Not long after the news arrived, the Emperor arrived. After a few days of not seeing him, Wen Yi felt that he had lost all of his weight. Her eye sockets were sunken in, her eyes were black, her skin was a waxy yellow, and her lips were purple.

The Emperor sat on the bed and stared at Wen Yi with her sharp eyes. After a long while, she asked, "Do you think I am old?"

Wen Yi said: "Everyone will be old!"

The Emperor sneered. "Is that so?" There must be people who wouldn't age, right? You are proficient in medicine, but have you never seen a person who can live forever? "

Wen Yi shook her head and replied softly, "All living things are equal. The so called 'equality' means that everyone has to experience life and death, and no one is exempt from that."

"Don't you believe there are exceptions? Aren't you too shallow with your experiences! " The emperor's eyes were filled with weariness as he gave Wen Yi a deep look. "Come over and massage my head!"

Wen Yi walked behind him, extended a finger, pressed it against his temple, and gently rubbed it. "Is Your Majesty interested in hearing a story from me?"

The emperor's eyes were closed as he said in an unhurried manner, "Speak!"

Wen Yi said: "Once upon a time, there was an emperor who unified the seven empires and established the dictatorship of the empire. He was the same as the Emperor. He believed that a person could break through their predestined fate and become immortal. Thus, he let the Daoist Priest refine the Immortal Pill for him. Then he met Qi Ren Xu Fu. Xu Fu told him that Penglai Immortal Island had an Immortal Pill, so he ordered five thousand boys and boys to go into the sea to get it. "The result is that these five thousand children failed to get him an immortal pill. In the end, he still died in a foreign land …"

"He is him, and I am me. Do you think there's any comparison?" The emperor sneered, he understood Wen Yi's intention, and became even more impatient. "We didn't come to your place to listen to your teachings, you better shut your mouth!"

Wen Yi sighed lightly, "This world is already the emperor's. What is there for the emperor to be unsatisfied with?"

The emperor grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him. He glared at her fiercely and said, "That's right. This world belongs to me, but how many people in this world are lusting after me? "I want this world to forever belong to me. No matter who has the heart to rebel, I will kill them all. Even if they are my sons, I will not show them any mercy!"

Wen Yi could feel a cold Qi coming out from his body, every one of his pores seemed to have a killing intent, that was so vicious, that was so cold.

Wen Yi gently struggled free from his hand and said indifferently, "Not everyone wants to ascend to the throne because of a suspicious thought. What's so good about becoming an emperor? High places can never be cold, even one's own kin cannot be trusted, and even a married couple would have to suspect and frame them. Such a life, I do not think there is any meaning to it! "

The Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "You really do know about it."

Wen Yi understood what he meant, and said straightforwardly: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it unless you are by yourself."

The emperor abruptly stood up in rage. "Then, is it you who has destroyed my plan?" It seems that I was wrong to let you into the palace, but you insist on going against me! You still dare to say that you don't have any feelings for him? You dare to say that you have already forgotten? Don't forget your identity, your heart, and your people are all mine. If you do anything wrong, I'll kill you and him! "

Wen Yi heard his question and felt herself to be in a pathetic and laughable situation. Why couldn't she admit to loving Song Yunqian? Was it not because of him? He was a supreme being who held the power to kill and to protect the person in her heart, even if she liked him or loved him deeply, she would not dare to say a word for fear that his suspicions would harm Song Yunqian.

She turned around coldly and said, "Your Majesty, please don't go too far. If you force them too far, even dogs will jump over walls. Furthermore, some people may not truly have the intention to rebel. It's just as I said just now, not everyone will be interested in the throne. "

The Emperor's cold and merciless voice sounded out, and he was cold like an emissary from hell. "What you're talking about is just what do you think you know about the hearts of humans? We still have thousands of years, and we do not need the crown prince to covet our throne. You better behave yourself, or else, don't blame us for falling into disgrace! "

Wen Yi did not say anything. At this moment, no matter what she said, it would not enter his heart, so he might as well save some saliva.

The emperor continued to speak coldly, "You've been too impetuous during this period of time. You'll have to reflect on it properly in the next few months. Don't take a step out of the Zevi Palace." In other words, he was going to stop her from having enough.

Wen Yi had already expected that the reason why she had been hiding her true reason for not coming into direct conflict with Yue Yang was that she was afraid of being deprived of her freedom. Now that the general was to return to the throne, and she was to be grounded, she could not be present on the day of the celebration.

The emperor left angrily, while Wen Yi sat on her chair, her heart anxious. If it was like what the Ninth Prince said, he really wanted to take care of the Song Yunqian brothers during the celebration, and the two of them were not on guard, they might really say that.

However, would he be able to avoid it the next time? I don't know what the meaning of such a life in calculation is.

Imperial Concubine Rong was entrusted to him by Wen Yi, so she specially went to pay her respects with her concubine in the Imperial Concubine Ling's chambers.

In the recent few days, the Emperor had stayed in the Imperial Concubine Ling's sleeping quarters. Thus, the concubine he had been entertaining in the Imperial Concubine Ling Palace for the past few days almost stepped on the threshold of the Begonia Palace.

It was just that, after all, Imperial Concubine Rong and her Concubine Qin were the concubines with a firm position within the palace. Although she did not think much of them, she could not be negligent either as she ordered people to brew a pot of rain in front of Long Jing and to talk to her in the side hall.

Imperial Concubine Rong saw that the time was ripe, and said: "Did you guys hear that Zevi Palace's Noble Consort is grounded, and became Noble Consort after entering the palace. With such great fame, I thought I would gain the favor of the Emperor, but that is not the case."

When the Concubine saw that the Imperial Concubine Rong had always disregarded the matters of the harem, why did she suddenly start talking about the Noble Consort today? She frowned and said, "What kind of person is she? "To be honest, I haven't really interacted with her before, so I'm not too clear about it. It's just that there are too many pitiful people in this palace. It seems like she hasn't even been favored by the emperor when she was placed in the palace."

Imperial Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Is my wife softhearted to actually have sympathy for such a foxy woman? Don't you know? Before she entered the palace, she had already gotten entangled with Old General Zhu's son, Zhu Fangyuan. After entering the palace, she was also restless.

The Imperial Concubine Ling did not like Wen Yi from the start. In the palace, other than the Empress, the most prominent person was her, the Imperial Concubine. Unexpectedly, a woman from the mortal world came and sealed the Noble Consort as soon as she came, dominating over her. Now that he heard Imperial Concubine Rong say this, his interest was piqued, and he asked: "Big sister Imperial Concubine Rong, you said that she and Old General Zhu's adopted son are not related, where did you hear this from?" Imperial Concubine Rong and his wife entered the palace earlier than Imperial Concubine Ling, so even though Imperial Concubine Ling's position was higher than theirs, she still addressed them as elder sisters.
