The man believed this deeply. He had always stayed by the emperor's side and was aware of the emperor's physical condition.

When he heard this, he knew Bei Liangye's intention even more, so he promised Bei Liangye, "I will help you hide it."

"In that case, I'll leave it to you." Bei Liangye saluted him.

The man hurriedly stopped Bei Liangye from bending over and said bluntly: "Prince, I can't bear this gift. Please don't offend me."

"You have shown your filial piety for the sake of the emperor. Now that you have asked me clearly, I will leave first." The man stood up and continued.

Bei Liangye also stood up quickly, sent the man out of the door, and said respectfully: "Please go slowly, and I ask you to take more care of my father's health."

"That's natural."

The two of them greeted each other politely for a while, and then Bei Liangye sent the man out of the Prince's Mansion.

Soon the confidant went to the emperor's palace. The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the royal study. When he saw him coming back, he asked lightly: "How is it? Have you figured out why the prince has been doing so much recently?"

The confidant had previously promised Bei Liangye to conceal it for him, so he reported calmly: "The prince said that there were thieves sneaking into the city recently. In order to prevent any unexpected situation, he ordered people to set up defenses around the capital."

The emperor nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then I won't care about it. If you have nothing to do, just step back and go and do your own business."

"I excuse myself."

After the confidant resigned, he concentrated on handling political affairs. The imperial study was silent and no one dared to disturb him.

The queen also heard about this, and she was a little confused, why did the prince suddenly step up his defense in the capital?

If a thief sneaks in, Bei Liangye's ability can handle the matter in a matter of seconds, so why waste so much trouble.

Her intuition told her that something was wrong, something big must have happened, but why should she hide it from the emperor?

In any case, Beiliangye must have his own reasons. Since martial law is required in the capital, it is best to strengthen the defense in the palace.

So she ordered her guards to strengthen the defense in the Forbidden City.

However, the Queen was puzzled, but Bei Liangye had always been a sensible and obedient person, so it was absolutely impossible for him to have any intention of harming the Emperor. If he couldn't figure it out, he might as well ask the Crown Princess to come to the palace to see him and ask her.

One or two.

The Queen made up her mind, then turned her head to the side and told her personal maid: "Go to the Prince's Mansion and invite the Crown Princess here, saying that I have something to do and want to spend a little time with her."

Ruan Wanwan is currently bored in the Prince's Mansion. Ever since her quarrel with Bei Liangye, she has been a little listless and has been staying in her room, unwilling to go out and move around.

Suddenly, she received news from the palace that the Queen had sent her to have an audience, and she was a little confused for a while.

But Ruan Wanwan did not dare to disobey the Queen's order, so she packed herself up, left the house, got on the carriage, and went to the palace.

Soon they arrived outside the palace gate, and the carriage could not enter. Ruan Wanwan got out of the carriage, took only her personal maid, and headed towards the queen's palace.

Soon, an announcement came from outside the Queen's Palace: "The Crown Princess has arrived——"

Ruan Wanwan also quickly stepped in from outside the palace: "The Queen is looking for my concubine, what do you want me to do?"

The queen smiled kindly at her, waved, and asked Ruan Wanwan to come over: "I have liked you the most since I was a child. I watched you grow up. Please tell me, what has the prince been busy with recently?"

"I'm not busy with anything, Queen, don't worry." Ruan Wanwan hesitated a little. After all, this matter was too secret. If he said it rashly, there would be something unexpected.

"Don't hide it from me. If nothing happened, you wouldn't react like this. Tell me quickly." The Queen saw through Ruan Wanwan's hesitation at a glance and said.

Ruan Wanwan had no choice but to tell the truth: "I sneaked into the Xiao Mansion a few days ago to find out the news, and I overheard the discussion between Mr. Xiao and the eldest prince."

"What are they discussing?" The queen was a little surprised and didn't understand why the Xiao family and the eldest prince would get together.

"My concubine didn't hear very clearly. She only knew that they were going to drug the emperor." Ruan Wanwan said in a low voice.

"What! Drugging the Emperor?" The Queen slammed the table and stood up, her eyes widened, "Where did they get the courage!"

"Queen, don't be angry. It's not good for your health to be so angry. We were worried about this, so we hid it from the emperor." Ruan Wanwan hurriedly explained.

The Queen also knew that the Emperor's health had not been very good recently. It was no wonder that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were busy hiding it from him. It was really difficult for the two children.

"But I think that if you keep hiding it, the emperor will become suspicious when the matter is exposed."

Ruan Wanwan has been having a headache recently. It is because of this that she is so hesitant now.

"Frankly speaking, I think it is better for the emperor to be informed. Otherwise, if something breaks out, you will still be suspected of favoring the Xiao family and the eldest prince."

What Empress Ruan Wanwan said made sense, so she said to her respectfully: "After your Majesty gives me some advice, I will go back and discuss it with the Prince to see what should be done."

"It's good that you know. I asked you to come to the palace today just to ask about this matter. If there is nothing else, you can go back to the palace and rest first." After knowing the truth, the Queen felt relieved and worried.

Ruan Wanwan's body was so weak that she planned to go back home to rest first.

"Concubine, please retire." Ruan Wanwan bowed respectfully to the Queen and then left.

Ruan Wanwan returned to his room, took out the calculation tools from the secret compartment of the bed, and planned to make a divination for himself. If the result was good, he would tell the emperor about it. If the result was bad, he would continue.

hide.

She performed the Taoist magic carefully, and she didn't dare to make a single mistake in such a serious matter.

The results came out soon. Ruan Wanwan was a little nervous. She covered her eyes and looked through the cracks to see the results.

It’s actually auspicious!

Ruan Wanwan was overjoyed. If this was the case, then there would be no harm in telling the emperor the truth about the matter, and he would start preparing now.

So early the next morning, Ruan Wanwan went into the palace to see the emperor.

The emperor did not expect that Ruan Wanwan would come to see him so early in the morning, and asked in confusion: "Wanwan, why are you here?"

Ruan Wanwan knelt down directly on the ground and said, "I have something to report to the emperor."

"What is it that makes you panic like this? Stand up and say it."

Ruan Wanwan raised her head and stared at the emperor seriously: "The eldest prince and the Xiao family want to drug you, which will be detrimental to you, so the prince has been strengthening his defense recently."

The emperor did not expect this to happen and was only surprised, but he immediately understood that his son was doing it for his own good and was worried that telling him the truth would cause his illness.

So although the emperor was a little angry and the prince kept it secret from him, he agreed to perform a show with Ruan Wanwan.
