First Lady of the Crown Prince

 Chapter 800 Beating the King to unconsciousness (second update)

Over at the Imperial Master's Palace, Shangguan Yan gradually "wakes up", from waking up once a day for a quarter of an hour to waking up for more than an hour a day.

The king visited her twice. Concubine Wang Xian and others were so frightened that they could not sleep at night, fearing that Shangguan Yan would die with them if she could not think about it.

After discussing with her family, Concubine Dong Chen was the first to think of a solution, and the news was quickly discovered by Concubine Wang Xian.

 Wang Xianfei also followed her example.

Almost on the same day, Concubine Yang De, who had been keeping an eye on Concubine Wang Xian, also knew what she was planning, and she also felt that this method was feasible.

 Concubine Chen Shu and Feng Zhaoyi did not know what the three of them were busy with at first, but after paying attention to the movements of the three major families, they could almost guess something.

At first, the five people did not admit it openly, but the more they checked later, the more the news became louder. They couldn't hide it from each other, so let's just make it happen!

So there was this scene where the five concubines gathered at the Imperial Master's Hall again at the end of July.

 The palace people have been dismissed.

Shangguan Yan sat on the chair, resisting the urge to hug half of the watermelon and chew it one spoonful at a time. She looked at the five people sitting opposite her coldly and world-weary: "What are you doing here again?"

 As the most senior concubine, Concubine Wang Xian is still the speaker among the five.

She said: "Shangguan Yan, I know that you don't want to die. What you said last time was just to threaten us."

Look at these beautiful words. If Shangguan Yan hadn't been prepared in advance, she would have been deceived and her heart was exposed.

Shangguan Yan said slowly: "Since you think I'm faking, why are you coming to me? You don't have to worry about whether I have any leverage against you."

Concubine Dong Chen hummed: "Shangguan Yan, we sympathize with you because we have watched you grow up, so we are just doing you a favor!"

Shangguan Yan smiled faintly: "Hey, one of you is singing a red face, and the other is a bad face, and you have set up a stage here. When you go out, turn right, and walk slowly without seeing me off."

Several people were so choked that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.

 Wasn’t Shangguan Yan a reckless man who only knew how to take action? When did you become so sharp-tongued?

Concubine Wang Xian said: "Well, since we are here, we sincerely want you to make a deal."

Since their words are of no use to Shangguan Yan, they might as well open the sky and speak frankly.

Concubine Wang Xian continued: "Shangguan Yan, you can disregard your own life and death, but can you also disregard the reputation of the Xuanyuan family? Let's not beat around the bush about what happened to the Xuanyuan family back then. The Xuanyuan family's Those crimes were indeed imposed by the major aristocratic families. It’s up to you whether you want the Xuanyuan family to be famous for eternity or to make the Xuanyuan family infamy for eternity.”

Shangguan Yan did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation due to these words: "Wang Xianfei, it is you who are begging me now, not you who are begging you. You'd better straighten your attitude."

Concubine Wang Xian squeezed the veil tightly, almost poking holes in it.

She asked calmly: "It seems you don't want the evidence anymore?"

Shangguan Yan said nonchalantly: "It's just evidence from a few aristocratic families, it's meaningless."

 The five people secretly exchanged glances.

What happened to Shangguan Yan? How come they even guessed that they only planned to hand over the evidence of the other major families?

They wanted to save their family at least, and then prayed that Shangguan Yan would be easier to deceive and give them the deal.

Shangguan Yan put the tea cup in his hand on the table and said with full aura: "Since you want to vindicate the Xuanyuan family, you must bring out all the evidence. There must be no evidence missing for the Xuanyuan family's more than 30 crimes! Don't challenge it. I'm patient, don't think you can bargain with me, maybe tomorrow, I will want more than this!"

 “You!” Concubine Chen Shu stamped her feet in anger again.

 Such a result was not entirely unexpected. The worst plan they had made at that time was that Shangguan Yan would ask them to collect all the evidence.

Concubine Wang Xian suppressed her anger and said sternly: "We can give you the evidence of the crime, but you must also bring us some of the signatures!"

That kind of thing is no longer useful and can be given to you at any time.

Three hours later, Xiao Heng and Lao Jijiu next door checked all the account books, letters and other evidence and confirmed that they were genuine.

 The transaction between both parties is completed.

Wang Xianfei and the other five left in great spirits.

These evidences are so implicated that Shangguan Yan would hardly believe it if he hadn't seen them with his own eyes.

“Even the mighty generals are involved.” Enemies can never harm themselves. What is truly chilling is often the betrayal of relatives and friends.

Shangguan Yan murmured: "General Mighty is my uncle's subordinate, and he once taught Xuanyuan Sheng martial arts. Who would have thought that he would burn down the Xuanyuan family's granary for his own selfish purposes?"

Xiao Heng said with relief: "It's all over, and nothing like this will happen again in the future."

"Well." Shangguan Yan suppressed the melancholy in his heart and said to his son, "These evidences should be enough to vindicate the Xuanyuan family."

Xiao Heng paused: "Not yet, there is no evidence for the crime of treason."

 Because the crime of treason is real.

Unless the king is willing to admit that he has plotted against the Xuanyuan family, the Xuanyuan family was forced to rebel by him.

  But this is simply impossible.

Xiao Heng said: "How about this, mother, take these evidences of your loyalty and filial piety and present them to the king, in exchange for your position as the princess. Don't worry about the rest. Wait until mother becomes the princess, and then find a way to evade the king's real power. I can still rehabilitate the Xuanyuan family."

Shangguan Yan nodded in agreement: "I think it will work. When daybreak, I will bring these evidences and go to the palace to face the saint."

-

 Royal Palace.

Just as the monarch was about to take a rest, Zhang Dequan walked over quickly with small steps, glanced at the little princess sleeping soundly on the small bed, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Han family in the cold palace is clamoring to see you."

The king said coldly: "How many times has this happened to her?"

Zhang Dequan did not dare to answer the conversation and only reported: "Han said that she has a secret about the Queen."

These are the original words of the little palace maid, Zhang Dequan did not add a word of embarrassment.

Once he heard that it was about Queen Xuanyuan, the monarch still had the patience to go to the cold palace.

Concubine Wan has now been demoted to noble lady Wan and lives on the west side of the cold palace, while the Han family is imprisoned on the east side of the cold palace.

 The king went directly to the Han family.

Even though he was relegated to the cold palace, Han still dressed himself up to be very decent when he had to face the emperor. But what about being more decent? The king didn't even look at her seriously.

She sat on an old stone bench, smiled at the monarch and said, "Your Majesty, I have made some tea. I wonder if your Majesty is used to drinking the rough tea from the cold palace?"

The king frowned and said, "What do you want?"

Han said gently: "Your Majesty, are you here just for the secret related to the Queen? Your Majesty, why don't you ask me how my concubine is doing these days after being banished to the cold palace? Your Majesty, you are so cruel."

 Only when a man loves a woman will he pity her weakness.

 When a person has no feelings for her, all she can do is make excuses for nothing.

 The monarch's eyes became increasingly impatient.

Han didn't seem to notice it, and said to himself: "That's right, Your Majesty only has Xuanyuan Hanyan in your heart, why have you ever had other sisters in the harem? But even if you are facing the one you love, Your Majesty will be ruthless. Hand. Your Majesty’s heart...actually only you."

The king said impatiently: "If you have nothing to say, I will leave!"

Mrs. Han poured herself a cup of tea: "The queen did tell me something sincere before she died. She said that she regretted marrying His Majesty. If possible, she begged me to find a way to prevent her from being buried in the imperial mausoleum with His Majesty. She doesn’t want to meet His Majesty again on her way to hell.”

 The king's heart was severely shaken.

 He knew that Xuanyuan Hanyan hated him, but he didn't expect that he would hate him to such an extent!

Han sneered: "Your Majesty, is your heart aching? Or does it mean that Your Majesty doesn't want to believe what I say? Also, when has Your Majesty ever believed in this concubine? Even though this time it was so obvious that I was framed, Your Majesty still chooses his heart. Blind and blind.”

"Until tonight, I have been waiting for your Majesty to come and see me. I don't want to come to this point. Your Majesty, it was you who forced me to do this!"

"I came to the palace with admiration for Your Majesty. Over the years, I have been looking forward to becoming a real couple with Your Majesty day and night. What did Xuanyuan Hanyan do? Your Majesty's harem is full of people. I'm taking care of it! I thought I had some weight in His Majesty's heart, but in the end I found out that His Majesty just didn't want to tire Xuanyuan Hanyan."

“But that woman never looked back at Your Majesty. I hated her! So I had Shangguan Yan kidnapped! She was sold to a dental shop and turned into a female slave!”

The king's heart was shocked: "It's you?!"

　　Han smiled and said, “I am my concubine!”

The monarch was furious, strode forward and grabbed her neck: "I'm going to kill you!"

Han was choked until she could breathe, and her face turned purple, but she smiled ferociously: "It's too late... Your Majesty... it's too late... you... can't kill my concubine!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow fell from the sky, and a hand knife struck the monarch on the back of the neck.

The monarch's body suddenly became paralyzed. He let go of Han's hand and fell to the ground in a daze.

 He saw the hem of the black cloak and a pair of black steps inlaid with gold. Then his eyelids sank and he fainted completely.

The chapter on the state of Yan begins to end.
