With his current status and situation, there is no need to do this at all.
Ye Fuxun thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
After serving the emperor and lying down to rest, Concubine Xian left Qingxin Palace. She was worried all the way back to the palace. Finally, she told the palace maid: "Go and ask the second prince to come immediately."
It was almost dark when the second prince arrived at Concubine Xian's chamber. Concubine Xian had already been waiting for a long time.
Yu Xiunan said apologetically: "Concubine, I was just interrogating the assassin. I was late. I kept you waiting. I hope you won't be angry."
Concubine Xian looked at him, and after a while she said: "It doesn't matter, just sit down."
Yu Xiunan sat down next to her mother. When she saw the various snacks placed on the small table, her eyes lit up and she ate a few pieces in one go.
He praised: "I haven't tasted the cakes made by my mother-in-law for a long time. I miss them very much."
"That's because you rarely come to see my mother-in-law recently," Concubine Xian showed a kind smile, "If you like, I will bring these back to the prince's palace for you later."
Yu Xiunan smiled and said: "Very good, thank you very much, concubine."
Concubine Xian looked at her son, as if she had seen the scene when he came to her palace to ask for snacks when he was a child. It felt as if it was yesterday.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, that innocent and lively child has now grown up. He is still the same person, but he is no longer the same person.
"Today's female assassin is yours, right?" The question was so sudden and direct that Yu Xiunan almost didn't react.
Yu Xiunan took a sip of tea, regained her calm attitude, and asked: "Why does the mother-in-law ask this?"
Concubine Xian sighed: "You are my son, don't I understand you? What do you want to do and what are you thinking about? As long as I look at your expression, I can guess it. You can deceive others, but
You can’t fool me.”
"It is said that a child is better known than his mother, and it is true." Now that Concubine Xian had guessed it, Yu Xiunan did not intend to hide it anymore, "Concubine Mother is right, she is the son of the son, and the assassination today was arranged by the son.
of."
"Do you want to frame the queen and kill her?" Concubine Xian also guessed her son's purpose.
"Yes." Yu Xiunan nodded calmly, "The Queen is an extremely difficult person to deal with. We must not leave her in the world to sow trouble for the future, so we can only find ways to eliminate the root cause."
In addition, the Queen holds some information about him, so just in case, it is safest to kill her. Only four people in the world have the strictest mouths.
"I don't object to you killing the queen to avoid future troubles, but how can you hurt your father? Do you know that if the assassin's dagger was even half an inch to the left today, your father's life would be in danger?
?" Concubine Xian asked excitedly.
Yu Xiunan lowered his eyes, as if listening to the instruction, but there was no expression on his face.
"My son has already told the assassin not to harm my father's life. Everything is under my control."
"What if the assassin misses your father?" Concubine Xian asked again.
Yu Xiunan slowly put down the teacup, looked back at Concubine Xian, and said: "Concubine, mother, sons and ministers are making bets with their own lives every step of the way. There is not a single day when this is not the case.
I can even risk my own life, why can’t I also risk my father’s life?”
Concubine Xian could not understand her son's selfish thoughts and could only retort: "He is your biological father, and his blood is flowing in your body! How can you be so cruel?"
"So what?" Yu Xiunan didn't care, "Aside from his blood flowing in my body, what else do I have in common with him? Apart from that, what else has he done that a father should do?
When he was a child, his father always ignored his son. No matter how hard he tried or how he tried to please him, he could not get a trace of his care.
When he grew up, Erchen finally made a difference in the court and finally got the attention of his father. However, he paid attention to Erchen with the intention of using Erchen. Compared with how his father treated Erchen, Erchen was not
It’s very cruel.”
In the eyes of others, the emperor valued the second prince and alienated the prince because he preferred this capable son.
In fact, it was just the opposite. Because he didn't like this son, he pushed him to a higher place, put him in the whirlpool of fighting, and used his power to suppress the Helan family.
Yu Xiunan knew all of this, but over the years, he had tolerated it well and never revealed his inner dissatisfaction and hatred for the emperor.
Concubine Xian was very shocked. She had never known that her son hated his father so much. She thought she knew him very well, but only then did she realize that this was not the case.
At this point, Concubine Xian had nothing to say, and she could only choose to remain silent. Over the years, even she believed that the emperor owed them a lot, let alone Yu Xiunan.
After a moment of silence, Yu Xiunan sighed, stood up and said, "It's getting late, mother and concubine, I'll take my leave first and come to visit you another day."
Concubine Xian looked at her son who was walking away and could only let out a long sigh.
Early the next morning, Yu Xiunan went into the palace to meet the emperor and handed the assassin's "confession" to the emperor for review.
After the emperor read the confession, he was so angry that he swept all the tea sets off the table, making several crisp noises, and pieces of porcelain in the palace fell all over the floor.
The palace people immediately lowered their heads. Even Eunuch Lin, who always spoke with some weight in front of the emperor, did not dare to come forward to comfort him. He could only stand aside and bow his head in silence.
What was stated in this testimony was that the assassin was the shadow guard originally raised by the Helan family. Because he had been favored by the queen, he was loyal to her and was always dispatched by the queen.
In the cold palace, the queen learned that the entire Helan family had been executed and the prince had been removed from his position as crown prince. She was extremely angry and ordered the female shadow guard to dress up as a singer and go to assassinate the emperor and avenge the Helan family.
"Queen! It's the queen again!" the emperor roared, his voice trembling, his eyes all red, as if he was about to burn.
Yu Xiunan pretended to persuade: "Father, please calm down and take care of yourself. The queen sent an assassin to kill you this time just to kill you. You can't let him get his wish."
The emperor took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Originally, after confiscating the entire Helan family, he didn't want to embarrass the queen anymore. After all, she was King Jing's biological mother, and he planned to let her spend her whole life in the cold palace.
But he never expected that the queen would be so ignorant that she would send someone to kill him. It seemed that this was forcing him to be cruel.
After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Eunuch Lin, please go to the North Palace. The queen assassinated the emperor. The evidence is conclusive and she is determined to kill her. She will be thrown into the sky prison immediately and will be executed at the East Meridian Gate three days later!"
