Father Song and the Song family's younger brother had also finished washing up.

They were sitting in the hall and waiting when they saw the Regent come out from the back.

Father Song stood up and was about to bow when Liu Zhan quickly stopped him. "Father-in-law, what are you doing?"

Father Song smiled.

"Your Highness, etiquette can't be abolished."

The Regent joked, "But you can't bow here.

I don't know when the Princess Consort will come out.

If she sees me, I won't have a good time. "

The palace servant next to him lowered his head and held back his laughter.

Father Song also smiled.

"It's this commoner's fault for spoiling her.

Please forgive me, Your Highness. "

Liu Zhan didn't reply. Hmph, it was this prince who spoiled her. This prince was happy.

Looking at the empty table, he frowned at Wang Shun.

"Why haven't you let the servants serve the food?" After that, he roughly understood the reason and ordered coldly, "Let the servants serve the dishes now."

Wang Shun felt wronged.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liu Zhan turned to look at the obedient boy sitting on the chair.

Song Chuanbai, whose short legs were still shaking.

His voice softened.

"Bai, is there anything you want to eat?"

Song Chuanbai shook his head cutely. "Anything is fine. I'm not picky."

Not long after the dishes were served, Song Xuan, wearing a loose and comfortable dress and her hair in a simple bun, walked around the back of the hall. Sun mama followed closely behind her.

Liu Zhan saw her at a glance. Before the others could react, he walked up to her and carried her to sit beside him.

Song Chuanbai called out happily, "Sister!" Song Xuan smiled and agreed.

Then, she looked at Father Song. "Father!"

Liu Zhan glanced at Wang Shun. Wang Shun understood and gestured to the palace servants in the hall, indicating for them to leave. Everyone bowed respectfully and left. Only Sun mama was left.

Father Song didn't take her pulse. He only observed Song Xuan's expression and could tell something was wrong. "Ah Xuan, stretch out your hand."

Song Xuan obediently stretched out her left hand. Father Song put his finger on it. Liu Zhan held his breath and stared at the scene in front of him.

A moment later, Father Song retracted his hand, stroked his beard, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay, it can be cured."

Liu Zhan let out a long sigh of relief. He held Song Xuan's soft little hand and said, "Father-in-law, can you tell what kind of poison it is?"

Father Song pondered for a moment before replying, "It doesn't look like it's from our Great Yong. It looks more like it came from the Yue Kingdom."

Liu Zhan tilted his head to look at Sun mama. Sun mama met with wang ye's cold gaze and hurriedly said what she knew, "In the last few days, there have been several niangniang that have come to speak with wang fei. But most of the time, this servant has blocked them away. But it was inevitable that they would meet a few times."

"What's there to block?

If anyone else comes, throw them out!! "

Sun mama bitterly smiled. My Prince!

If they had made a mistake, we would have done it without your instructions. But they were nice and said that they wanted to see the Princess Consort and wanted to chat with her. In any case, they were the Emperor's concubines. We couldn't really not give them any face.

The Prince Regent had no concept of giving face. Hearing that the poison could be cured, he relaxed and personally helped Song Xuan fill a small bowl with soup and place it in front of her.

Father Song watched his actions and nodded in satisfaction. He glanced at his daughter, "Although this poison is hidden, with Ah Yan's experience, she should have been able to detect it. Perhaps it's because she is pregnant and her symptoms are quite similar, so she didn't notice it."

Song Xuan had some experience with her own body. In addition, the imperial physician had come to take her pulse today, so it was almost certain that she was pregnant. After Liu Zhan returned, Sun mama informed him of this matter. As a result, the entire room was filled with Song Chuanbai. "Big sister is pregnant?

Then won't I be an uncle? "

Father Song frowned, "How old are you?

Why are you so surprised? Can't you learn from your big brother? "

Younger brother Song curled his lips in disappointment, "What's the point of being like big brother?

In the future, when big sister has a little nephew, she will definitely like me more as her little uncle. "He turned to Song Xuan," Isn't that right, big sister? "

Song Xuan couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, yes, yes."

Then she lowered her head in embarrassment, "It's still my daughter's fault for not being skilled enough. Fortunately, Prince discovered it early. Otherwise, after a while, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."

Liu Zhan only felt a burst of lingering fear in his heart. He reached out and tightly hugged the person next to him. If he hadn't suddenly remembered that in his previous life, there was also an incident where someone fell into a coma and died in the palace, he probably wouldn't have thought of this. Then his Ah Yan …

A trace of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes. Yue country!!

At night, Song Xuan fell asleep after drinking the medicine. Liu Zhan carefully pulled away her arms that were hugging him. Without alerting the palace servants on night duty, he quietly got up and left the hall. The guard at the door noticed and was about to greet him when he was frozen in place by the Prince Regent's cold gaze.

There were lanterns hanging in the hallway of the hall. Liu Zhan's face was so cold that it almost froze. The night wind rustled and the black robe on his body fluttered in the wind. In the middle of the night, there was an inexplicable killing intent.

Liu Zhan pushed open the door to the study. There were already several people dressed in black kneeling on the ground waiting for him. Seeing Liu Zhan come in, the leader said in a cold mechanical voice, "This subordinate has done a bad job. Prince, please punish us."

Then, with a 'bang' sound, the few people behind him also kowtowed to the ground in unison, without any reduction in the slightest.

Liu Zhan wasn't in the mood to pursue their mistakes. He boldly sat down on the carved wooden chair, "Have you investigated the matter?"

The leader said, "Replying to Prince, there are indeed two problems with the dancers sent by Yue country. This time, they were the ones who first proposed to visit the Princess Consort. Before they came, not only did they sprinkle the powder on themselves, they also sprinkled it on the people who came with them. Because there were too many people, the Princess Consort was unavoidably contaminated.

Moreover … … "

The man looked up at the Prince Regent and hesitated for a while. Liu Zhan said coldly, "What else have you found? Continue."

"In addition, when Your Highness was poisoned by someone arranged by the Emperor, it is likely that the Yue Empire was involved. This subordinate has investigated and found that the next successor of the Yue Empire is extremely ambitious. Not only has he placed spies in our Great Yong, he has also placed spies in the surrounding small countries …"

The next day, the Prince Regent ordered the concubines sent by Yue country to be executed for the crime of murdering the royal family. At the same time, he had people announce the secret actions of Yue country in the court. All the ministers were in an uproar at first, and then they were angry. A small subordinate country dared to plot against the main country.

Thinking of the news he received yesterday, that the Prince Regent personally took people out of the city in the morning and came back in the afternoon, Lord Huai guessed that it had something to do with the Princess Consort. He took a step forward and said righteously, "Yue country dared to defy the dignity of our country. They must be taught a severe lesson. Otherwise, how can Yong govern other subordinate countries in the future?"

Several ministers who had taken half a step forward silently retracted their feet, cursing Lord Huai, this slippery old loach, to take the initiative to speak up.

It seemed that the Prince Regent took those princes into the palace for a reason.

The Prince Regent said indifferently, "Lord Huai is right. We can't let this go so easily. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Several ministers who didn't arrive just now stood out and argued for a long time. Finally, they settled on a plan that they thought was reasonable. Yue country would double the tribute to Yong this year, and the current King of Yue country would be ordered to apologize in person.

Hearing this suggestion, the Prince Regent smiled sarcastically, "I think this is too merciful. I'm afraid it won't make them realize their mistakes. How about we change the King of Yue country? What do you think?"

The ministers were in an uproar and then looked at each other.

The Emperor had been suppressing his anger since his concubines were executed in the morning. He felt that he had lost face. Now that he saw Liu Zhan pushing his luck, he snorted coldly. "No matter how small the Yue Empire is, it is still a dignified Emperor. Imperial Uncle, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?"

The court was suddenly silent.

Liu Zhan knocked on the armrest with his fingers expressionlessly. The ministers below felt that these two knocks were hitting their hearts. They held their breath and didn't dare to say anything. "Li Fulai, His Majesty is not well. Take him away to rest."

Li Fulai said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor suddenly stood up, trembling with anger. He pointed at Liu Zhan with his trembling right hand, "Prince Regent, you …"

Li Fulai hurried to stop him, "Your Majesty, let's go back first!

Please, Your Majesty. "

Seeing this scene, the young eunuch next to him stepped forward and helped Li Fulai to take the Emperor away.

The ministers of the court watched as the Emperor was taken away, and no one dared to say a word against it.

The Prince Regent didn't ask for anyone's opinion. He said directly, "Left Prime Minister."

"This old subject is present."

"Write an edict. Either Yue elects a new King, or This Prince doesn't mind personally sending someone to take over. Two choices. This Prince wants to see how Yue's people and ministers will choose …"

Everyone kept quiet out of fear. Your Majesty, are you giving us a choice?

Wasn't this a blatant threat?

The Prince Regent's edict was sent to Yue at top speed. The ministers and nobles didn't even consider it. This matter was clearly the Crown Prince courting death. As a small and subordinate country, he didn't want to properly develop the country's strength and instead set his sights on the main country. The fact that Great Yong's Prince Regent didn't directly order an army to suppress the border was already an extrajudicial mercy.

Every regime was destined to have opponents. During his reign, the King of Yue hadn't made any major moves that would benefit the country and its people. He wasn't wise and virtuous to the point that the people of Yue respected him. Now, someone had spread this news. Given the choice between a new King and the two countries clashing with each other, the choice of many people was self-evident.

In less than three days, the King of Yue chose to abdicate under the pressure of the court and the people. The new King knew how to conduct himself. He had people bring his personal penned confession and the previous Crown Prince to Great Yong to confess his sins. This deeply conveyed Yue's desire to submit. Unexpectedly, due to the long journey and the lack of acclimatization, the Crown Prince suddenly fell ill and passed away midway.

The new King immediately sent out another letter, saying that the previous Crown Prince was unlucky and short-lived. It was truly regretful that he wasn't able to personally apologize to the Prince Regent and Great Yong's Emperor.
