A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Emperor Yuan's face was visibly grim, and his skin was even trembling with anger.

He expected Meng Fu to come and ruin his plans, but he never expected that Meng Fu would actually have the idea of ​​making Xie Xuanjin marry Song Qingning!

Xie Xuanjin!

How could he marry Song Qingning!

"Impossible!" Emperor Yuan said coldly.

This answer was exactly what Empress Meng expected.

Empress Meng was not annoyed. "Your Majesty, why don't you reconsider?"

"Your Majesty has been emperor for over twenty years, do you still remember those days?"

"At that time, the Emperor was still the Prince of Qin. Among the many princes, the Prince of Su and the Crown Prince were the most favored by the late Emperor. In that situation, the Emperor originally had no competitive advantage, until Father decided to support you."

As Empress Meng spoke, Emperor Yuan grew increasingly enraged. "Is the Empress bringing up the past to blackmail me?"

"I am not taking advantage of your kindness," Empress Meng shook her head.

She met the Emperor's gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Your Majesty, I was merely reminding you."

"A reminder?" Emperor Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

In an instant, he understood the meaning.

What followed was an even more intense rage.

This isn't a warning, it's a threat!

She was telling him that just as the Meng family could help him ascend to the throne back then, they could also overthrow the current imperial power.

This was something Emperor Yuan had always been wary of.

Having witnessed the strength of the Meng family army, he has been working to weaken the Meng family since ascending the throne.

More than ten years later, Meng Jiajun was dismantled by him and his troops were incorporated into other armies.

Six years ago, he had already divided the Meng family's military power, which is why he chose to plot the poisoning of the Crown Prince and Xie Xuanjin six years ago.

Only one prince died, while Xie Xuanjin survived.

At that time, he didn't care about Xie Xuanjin.

Although he was intelligent, he was fond of playing and spent his days following the Crown Prince, being protected by him, and thus he could not achieve great things.

Unexpectedly, in just three years, he formed the Shence Army, which became his biggest threat.

He is already a major threat, so we must not marry Song Qingning to him, lest he become even more powerful.

Emperor Yuan suppressed his anger, his sharp gaze fixed on Empress Meng, and he sneered, "Where is Xie Xuanjin? You think you can use the Shence Army to force me to issue this imperial decree of marriage? You're being far too naive!"

Once the Shence Army makes a move, the label of treason can never be removed.

In her previous life, Xie Xuanjin plotted a rebellion. Song Qingning knew very little about the specific details, but she learned from a conversation between Song Qingyan and Liu that Xie Xuanjin, who was labeled as a traitor, did not have a good reputation.

In her previous life, Empress Meng was banished to the cold palace. If not for the circumstances, who would willingly bear the label of treason?

The current situation is favorable to the Prince of Huai.

Even if one were to force Emperor Yuan to grant a marriage, one could not resort to the path of forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebel.

Song Qingning looked at Empress Meng.

Empress Meng's smile remained dignified.

"Use the Shence Army? Yes, we will use the Shence Army, but not to force the Emperor to issue the imperial decree for marriage. Instead, we will use the Shence Army to eliminate the traitors for the Emperor!" Empress Meng said.

Emperor Yuan frowned. "Traitor? What do you mean?"

Empress Meng did not answer him.

She glanced outside; it was already completely dark.

Just then, Eunuch Gao, looking hurried, appeared outside the door. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the head guard of Prince Rui's residence has urgent business to discuss!"

The Prince Rui's Mansion?!

Emperor Yuan's eyes narrowed, a bad premonition creeping into his heart.

"pass!"

Emperor Yuan gave the order, and soon Eunuch Gao led a guard in.

The guard, his face filled with terror, immediately knelt on the ground upon seeing Emperor Yuan and, following Prince Rui's orders, begged the emperor for help: "Your Majesty, the Prince... the Prince is in trouble! The Shence Army has surrounded Prince Rui's residence! They... they want to kill the Prince!"

Emperor Yuan's head exploded with a bang.

No sooner had the guard finished speaking than a figure strode into the hall.

It was Xie Xuanjin.

He was dressed in fine clothes and had a dignified and imposing presence.

As he entered, he glanced at Song Qingning, and their eyes met.

With just one glance, Xie Xuanjin turned his gaze away and rebuked the guard, "Such a false report, deceiving the Emperor, I think you can forget about keeping your head!"

Xie Xuanjin came with his sword, and the guard shrank back in fright.

"Xie Xuanjin, how dare you!" Emperor Yuan's face darkened.

He was about to reprimand him, but Xie Xuanjin met his gaze instead. "Father, this man is speaking falsely and is trying to deceive the Emperor. Father, please investigate thoroughly."

"Deceiving the emperor? I think it's not him who's deceiving the emperor, it's you who's rebelling!" Emperor Yuan angrily pointed at Xie Xuanjin.

Xie Xuanjin's eyes were cold and indifferent.

His father, the emperor, both feared and hoped that he would rebel.

Suppressing the sarcasm in his heart, Xie Xuanjin calmly spoke, "It is not your son who rebels, it is your second brother!"

"Second..." Emperor Yuan sneered, "Qi'er? Ha, how could he possibly rebel?"

Qi'er knew that he was determined to give the throne to him and would not rebel.

He had no military power and no ability to rebel.

The only one who will rebel is Xie Xuanjin!

And Xie Xuanjin...

Emperor Yuan's sharp gaze was fixed on him. Xie Xuanjin suddenly drew his sword and held it to the guard's neck. "You tell me, tell me properly, what exactly happened? If there's even a single lie, I'll make sure you bleed on the spot!"

The guard shuddered, touched the sharp blade, and immediately got a cut on his neck.

The guards held their breath, not daring to move, and immediately reported, "It's His Highness Prince Rui! He... he's hiding in the palace... hiding the dragon robe!"

Even if the crown prince were to hide a dragon robe while the emperor was on the throne, it would still be considered treason.

Moreover, Prince Rui is not the crown prince, nor even the legitimate son!

Emperor Yuan swayed, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.

Even if Qi'er hid the dragon robe, how could the Shence Army know? This was clearly a setup.

And the person who designed all of this...

Emperor Yuan looked at Empress Meng and Xie Xuanjin and immediately understood where the confidence behind Empress Meng's words came from.

In order to get him to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, they even framed Qi'er!

Absolutely despicable!

"If Father Emperor does not believe me, he may investigate further," Xie Xuanjin said.

Since he said that, he is not afraid of being investigated.

Emperor Yuan suddenly glared fiercely at Xie Xuanjin, gritting his teeth, "Investigate? Of course I will investigate! Men, prepare the carriages and horses; we're going to Prince Rui's residence!"

At the emperor's command, Eunuch Gao immediately relayed the order.

When Emperor Yuan left, the way he looked at Xie Xuanjin was as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

Song Qingning had experienced that intense hatred before.

Lady Liu had also viewed her in the same way.

The difference is that Lady Liu was not her biological mother, while Emperor Yuan was Xie Xuanjin's biological father.

Being hated so much by his biological father, his heart must be aching.

After Emperor Yuan left, Empress Meng's smile vanished instantly. She looked at Xie Xuanjin and no longer hid her heartache.

Today, having spoken frankly with Emperor Yuan, there is no need for further concealment.

"Xuan Jin, take good care of Ning'er," Empress Meng instructed.

The matter is not over yet.

Emperor Yuan went to Prince Rui's residence, probably to try his best to exonerate the son of his beloved.

We can't let him have a chance to bite back.

Empress Meng strode out of Chuxiu Palace.

Subsequently, Song Qingning and Prince Huai also left the palace together, riding in the same carriage.

Song Qingning never expected that Xie Xuanjin would cause such a commotion for this imperial decree of marriage.

They used Xie Yuqi as a threat to force the emperor to compromise.

However, there were some things that Song Qingning was secretly worried about.

Inside the carriage, Song Qingning voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind:

"The design of Prince Rui's hidden dragon robe is flawed in many ways. If the Emperor discovers anything, not only will all our efforts be in vain, but we will also be accused of something in return, and the consequences will be..."
