Princess Zhaoran sighed, "Although that's true, you don't understand. This Wan'iben Palace hasn't given birth to an heir yet. This position of Crown Princess might not necessarily be mine. Xier, do yo..."Very good."
The Chancellor agreed, "I believe the Emperor will also agree."
"Then let's dispose of the Empress Dowager this way."
Dugu City walked towards Ci'an Palace, hearing the sound of Empress Dowager smashing things inside. Dugu City stopped in his tracks, and the Prime Minister hurried forward, "Your Highness, let this minister go in and take a look first"
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
Dugu Cheng watched the Chancellor enter, took a deep breath, and stood outside the hall. He knew the Empress Dowager would certainly think him unfilial, but he asked his heart, and he was guiltless.
Today, if I were the emperor, I believe he would also approve of his actions.
After the chancellor went in, he came out after a while.
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager refuses to see you. Perhaps we should reschedule for another day"
Dugu City glanced inside the hall, "Please inform the Prime Minister and Empress Dowager about this pilgrimage. This King will arrange for people to remodel the Buddhist hall so that it resembles her residence in the Four Kings' Mansion in the past. I hope she can find herself again."
The Chancellor responded, and Dugu City left Ci'an Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Regent King says he will send people to convert this place into a Buddhist hall, allowing you to recite sutras and repent in the Ci'an Palace for the well-being of the Yuan Dynasty."
Grandma Zhang heard the news and hurriedly reported it. The Empress Dowager was furious and slammed her fist on the table.
"Since he became regent, he has wanted to get rid of me. Go tell him that I will not agree to reciting scriptures for repentance. If he still feels resentful, he may as well put me to death."
"The Empress Dowager was appeased. The Regent King definitely did not mean it that way."
Grandmother Zhang hastily knelt down, "Your Royal Highness Regent, everything you do is for your own good. If we wait for the Emperor to recover, who knows how he will deal with the Empress Dowager I believe it's better to heed Your Royal Highness Regent's words and protect her life."
"Preserve one's life Could it be that the Emperor could even kill this Empress, Zhang Mama, you underestimate me too much. Even if the Emperor wanted to kill me, he wouldn't dare."
The Empress Dowager was certain the Emperor couldn't issue an imperial decree to have her executed, but Dugu City was a different story. That unfilial son, she truly wished she hadn't given birth to him.
"Your Majesty, please do not make things difficult for the Regent King. After all, he is your own son. Now that the Emperor is in such a state of health, this throne will one day be his..."
"Bold!"
The Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the table, and Zhang Mama fell to her knees again. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The slave girl spoke out of turn," she said, repeatedly slapping herself.
He has no right to sit on this throne, and I will absolutely not agree to it.
The Empress Dowager's opposition shocked Zhang MaMa, who hurriedly bowed her head and dared not speak again.
"Zhang Mama, how is Wang now"
"Your Majesty, the King is imprisoned in the dungeon and there’s no word yet on his fate."
“You go and try to save King Yu, get him back to Liangzhou, and protect him well.”
Grand Empress Dowager, why is this happening Now that the Regent King intends to pin all the blame on Prince Yu, you will be spared any severe punishment...
"The King of Honor cannot meet with harm, this Empress absolutely will not allow Dugu City and the Emperor to hold him accountable."
Grandmother Zhang was stunned. She had never seen the Empress Dowager defend Prince Wang like this before. After all, Prince Wang was the Empress Dowager's own son.
"Your Majesty, I truly don't understand why you would do this. The Regent King is your own son."
"No, he isn't!"
The Empress immediately refuted, looking at Zhang Mama, "Dugu City is not this empress's child, Yu Wang is the empress's own son."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her chest. After so many years, her secret was finally out. She was really scared now.
"Grandmother Zhang, this matter absolutely cannot be known by anyone, especially the Regent King and the Emperor. Remember that"
The Empress Dowager's instructions left Zhang Ma trembling with fright.
Du Gusheng had Cixian Palace rebuilt to resemble the Buddhist hall where his mother resided when she was in Siwangfu, hoping that Empress Dowager would return to her former self.
Yu Wang never expected that Du Gu Cheng would let him go this time, demoting him back to Liangzhou. He thought he was going to die this time.
Duke Gucheng personally escorted Wang to the city gate, with Imperial Guards escorting him for safety and to ensure a smooth journey.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has shown leniency by allowing you to return to Liangzhou. For the rest of your life, you are forbidden from entering the capital city. I hope you will repent and cease your pursuit of what does not belong to you."
"Regent King, truly imposing! I didn't expect you to let me go. In light of your mercy, I'll tell you a secret. Do you know You are not the Empress Dowager's biological son. I am."
What did you say
Dugu Cheng's face changed drastically. Looking at Yu Wang's triumphant smile, he felt like he was hearing a joke. He couldn't believe that he could possibly not be the emperor's biological son.
"It's understandable that you don't believe it. This matter wasn't something I knew until a few years ago. For a long time, I envied you, thinking you were lucky to have such a distinguished noble consort as your mother. But let me tell you, your biological mother is not the Noble Consort, but the late Concubine Xian."
"Imperial Consort Xian"
The King laughed coldly, "Consort Xian protected you by secretly swapping places with you and the King. You became the son of Consort Shu, while the King, who should have been Consort Shu's biological son, was swapped for you."
"How is this possible, Xianfei how could you be my biological mother You're lying."
Then Xian Fei is Li Wu Yan's mother concubine, so to speak, are he and Li Wu Yan brothers
This... how is this possible
Du Gucheng couldn't believe his eyes, looking at the smile on Wang Yu's face as if he had heard a joke.
"I have to admit, Xianfei is truly capable. She managed to switch our fates, making me suffer while you became the envy of everyone as a renowned war god. What a brilliant move! It's truly enviable."
"Your Majesty, who told you this Consort Xian has long since passed away. When I investigated Duke Duguo's lineage, I only found that Consort Xian had one son. If I were Consort Xian's son, then who is Duke Duguo's father"
"Go check for yourself. This is what the Empress Dowager told me personally. Otherwise, why would she have taken away your military power five years ago and put you under house arrest She joined forces with the Emperor to force you to this point. It's because you are not her biological son. Because the Empress Dowager wants me to ascend to the throne, to make up for what she owes me."
獨孤城's head seemed to be struck by lightning, buzzing and his mind went blank, unable to believe what the King of Glory had said.
Although this king lost to you this time, I don't care. As long as the empress dowager is still around, this king will eventually return. But you are different. Even if you become the regent, the empress dowager will not allow you to ascend the throne.
Yu Wang burst into laughter, looking at the shock in Dugu City's eyes. After mounting his carriage, he was escorted away.
"My Lord, don't trust Wang Ye's words too readily. He might be deceiving you. How could you possibly not be the Empress Dowager's biological son You grew up by her side since childhood; it couldn't be otherwise."
Ye Xi comforted, saying that this Prince Wang's words were too easy to confuse people. It just so happened that the empress dowager's attitude changed five years ago, but now he said these things, wasn't he afraid that the prince would be furious and punish the empress dowager, harming her
"Ye Xi, return to the palace."
This matter, Li Wu Yan should know, whether he has a brother, Xian Fei should have told him.fficult. As for Feng Ao Tian, he achieved remarkable feats time and again, he could be said to have slaughtered all directions and won the favor of Dugu Xiu. He was directly bestowed the title of Gene...
