Chapter 49: Disfigured Palace Maid vs. Cold-blooded Emperor
Seeing Prince Duan’s sad expression, Ye Beichen became even happier.

He took down Prince Duan and his two sons at once. Now that they were no longer a threat, he was naturally in a very good mood.

The only one left is the old fox, Master Min.

Ye Beichen pretended to say a few words of comfort, left a few imperial doctors in the palace, and then returned to the palace.

The reason why Prince Duan was bedridden was partly because of sadness, but the main reason was that he was poisoned.

It was a very subtle poison that could gradually weaken an adult man's body, making him look sick, and eventually die.

The few imperial doctors who stayed in the palace naturally saw that the prince was poisoned, but with the emperor's secret instructions, they did not dare to really cure Prince Duan.

Therefore, the prescription prescribed for Prince Duan was mainly for nourishing the body and had no curative effect.

What happened in Prince Duan's Mansion soon spread throughout the capital, and basically everyone who needed to know knew about it.

First, Tutor Min, who had the closest relationship with Prince Duan, immediately smelled a conspiracy.

Regardless of whether it was the emperor's evil deeds or not, he could not continue to stay in the court.

To avoid being implicated.

Tutor Min submitted his resignation to the palace overnight. After obtaining the emperor's approval, he fled the capital with his family overnight.

But before Master Min and his family could escape far from the capital, they were killed by a group of bandits who suddenly appeared.

It is said that all the 300-plus members of Master Min's family were killed by bandits, without a single one escaping.

This incident caused a huge sensation in the capital, and even the imperial harem knew about it.

Yuexian Palace.

"Tongtong, what's going on with Prince Duan's Mansion and Master Min's family?"

Yu Yao half leaned on the soft couch in the inner room, eating grapes, and couldn't help asking the system in her heart.

There is no such coincidence in the world. Someone must have done it on purpose.

The system quickly popped up and explained: "The incidents between Prince Duan's Mansion and Master Min's family were all secretly done by Ye Beichen."

"why?"

Yu Yao was shocked.

Since it was Ye Beichen who did it, then it must be Prince Duan and Grand Tutor Min who did something in secret.

She couldn't understand, as an emperor, was it necessary for Ye Beichen to act secretly?
If you have any questions, you can deal with them directly.

"Grand Tutor Min helped Prince Duan to seize the throne. Ye Beichen has no solid evidence, so it is difficult to deal with him openly. He can only act secretly."

The system explained.

"So that's it!" Yu Yao understood.

She thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Then was it Prince Duan who poisoned Ye Beichen?"

"It's him."

The system said affirmatively.

After hearing the system's affirmative answer, Yu Yao also understood the cause and effect.

Prince Duan’s goal is probably to make Ye Beichen extinct.

Although the late emperor had many sons, only Ye Beichen and Prince Duan survived in the end.

Since Ye Beichen had no son of his own, he had to adopt Prince Duan's son.

If Prince Duan's son ascends the throne, Prince Duan will also succeed in seizing the throne in disguise.

This is a typical case of if you can't be the emperor yourself, then let your son be the emperor.

Unfortunately, Prince Duan missed the target by one move and ultimately lost.

Yu Yao didn't take this matter to heart. She didn't have to pay respects to the Queen. She just stayed in Yuexian Palace every day to take care of her pregnancy.

The crime she and Ye Beichen committed that night was eventually reported to the Empress Dowager by Nanny Qian.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was naturally very angry.

She was afraid that these two bastards would kill her little grandson just for their own pleasure.

Afterwards, he sent the imperial physician to Yuexian Palace to take Yu Yao's pulse.

Fortunately, the imperial physician took Concubine Yao's pulse and said that the fetus was stable and the dragon fetus was healthy, and there was no problem.

The Queen Mother was relieved.

Since the little grandson was fine, the Queen Mother began to worry about her son.

Seeing that the emperor didn't turn over the cards, she was afraid that the emperor would get tired of it.

After thinking about it, she called Ye Beichen to the Cining Palace. No one knew what the mother and son talked about.

Ever since that day Ye Beichen left the Cining Palace, he started flipping the cards.

As if afraid that Yu Yao would think too much, Ye Beichen even went to Yuexian Palace to comfort her.

Yuexian Palace. "Don't worry, Yao'er, I'll just sleep with them and never touch them!"

Ye Beichen held her in his arms and comforted her softly.

He didn't know why he wanted to tell her this, but he just wanted to say it.

He felt that he must be hopelessly in love with her.

But he didn't hate it, instead he liked it very much.

Yu Yao looked at the handsome face in front of her and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much about me. Although I love you very much, I also know that you don't belong to me alone."

When Ye Beichen heard her say this, he thought that she was thinking about him and didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he would rather feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, my heart instantly softened.

He hugged Yu Yao and kissed her again and again, and his favorability rating kept rising, all the way up to 90.

The beautiful Yu Yao said nice things for free. All kinds of cheesy love words kept coming out.

Ye Beichen was overjoyed after hearing this. He kissed her even more madly, his eyes full of love, and was even more reluctant to leave.

But Ye Beichen also knew that he couldn't stay in Yuexian Palace forever, and the women in the harem couldn't be treated as mere decorations.

He has to go, but whether he sleeps or not is his business.

Ye Beichen soon began his career of flipping cards.

First, there is Concubine Rou, a woman he once loved, but his feelings for her have faded.

Concubine Rou waited and waited, and finally her lover Chenlang came.

After realizing that Ye Beichen didn't love her, she didn't dare to continue.

Instead, she tried her best to please and flatter, and became like other concubines in the palace.

This would make her lose her specialness and make Ye Beichen even more bored.

The two of them didn't have sex, they just covered themselves with the quilt and slept.

Concubine Rou was lying beside Ye Beichen and looked at him several times with a strange and resentful look in her eyes.

Chen Lang hasn't come to her palace for a long time, and hasn't touched her for a long time.

She couldn't help but touch her face, thinking: Am I not beautiful enough? Or has my charm declined?

Even if Chen Lang no longer loves me, I am still a beauty after all.

How can you just do nothing and sleep?

She also wanted to bear a prince for Chen Lang.

But since Chen Lang didn't touch her, Concubine Rou was too embarrassed to take the initiative.

Although I am embarrassed to take the initiative.

But the look he gave Ye Beichen became more resentful and strange.

Even, her eyes looked at his lower body intentionally or unintentionally.

Is there something wrong with Chen Lang's body?
Concubine Rou couldn't help but think.

Ye Beichen naturally noticed Concubine Rou's strange look. Seeing that she was staring at his lower body, his face instantly darkened.

But he didn't get angry in the end, and said coldly: "I'm a little tired, you should go to bed early too."

Not to mention Concubine Rou's body, he didn't even want to sleep with other women in the palace.

Of course, Yaoer is an exception.

If that woman wasn't pregnant, she would definitely not be able to get out of bed.

"Tatsuro..."

Concubine Rou called him sadly, her eyes becoming more resentful, even aggrieved.

Ye Beichen frowned and wanted to leave, but he didn't want to embarrass her too much.

I finally managed to hold back and not leave.

The two of them lay there and slept all night.

The next day, Ye Beichen went to Meifei's palace and did nothing. He just lay there and slept all night.

Concubine Mei had a noble character and would never do such a thing as sleeping with a man on her own initiative.

On the third day, Concubine Wan came and passed away after a good sleep.

Although no one dared to say anything, the concubines in the harem all agreed that there was something wrong with the emperor's health.

Afterwards, they sent soups to the imperial study, all of which were kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening soups.

Looking at the row of nourishing and aphrodisiac soups in front of the imperial table, Ye Beichen's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said coldly: "Fu'an, take all these soups away!"

He already had a lot of anger in his body and had no place to vent it. If he drank this soup, he would probably explode.
