I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 244

Because of Yuan Ye's early action, Chu Lishu had to adjust his plan. Since Yuan Ye showed that he wanted to suppress the Cheng family so much, he should take this opportunity to give him more information about the Cheng family, especially those related to the Ministry of War. , Let them bite the dog themselves, first weaken a layer by themselves.

Originally, the tit-for-tat confrontation in the court seemed to Cheng Shi to be Yuan Ye's rebellious period, and he wanted to break free from their control.

But when their key figures in the Cheng family were assassinated one after another in the capital, their mentality changed, especially Cheng Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of War, who found that someone was investigating their private hoarding of arms.If this is discovered, it is a capital offense.

They thought that Yuan Ye was crazy, and that destroying the Ministry of War would do him any good, until Yuan Ye wanted to stuff his East Palace officials into the Ministry of War, but refused to communicate with them.

Only then did they realize that Yuan Ye wasn't just playing tricks, he just wanted to shake the foundation of the Cheng family and want their lives.This is really hard wings, want to fly solo.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family and the Pei family were finally gone. The scene where the family was supposed to be the dominant family was now restrained by the prince supported by him.

Naturally, the Cheng family didn't want to die. After all, the child in Empress Cheng's belly was not yet determined, and all escape routes could not be blocked now.And they also wondered if Yuan Ye knew about Empress Cheng's pregnancy, so he became so radical. In fact, Cheng didn't mean to abandon Yuan Ye, but just wanted to strengthen his power.If Yuan Ye ascended the throne smoothly, then naturally there would be no trouble.

So they planned to test it out. It coincided with the New Year's palace banquet, and Mrs. Cheng personally entered the palace to talk to his grandson in detail, but he didn't know that his grandson had prepared a big show for him.

When it was time for the palace banquet, Yuan Ye naturally had to pick up Queen Cheng first.

This was the first time after Yuan Ye discovered the truth, he stepped into Ziwei Palace and entered the palace, and saw Queen Cheng holding her forehead, her brows filled with anger.After seeing Yuan Ye, he finally said angrily: "I thought the emperor had forgotten me, it's really hard to see you these days."

"I'm too busy. And when I wanted to say hello to my mother before, didn't my mother often disappear?"

Empress Cheng ignored the latter words and asked, "Busy? What are you busy with? Are you busy dealing with your ancestral family?"

Empress Cheng has been troubled by the noise of Cheng's people these days, so she can only ask him what the hell he is doing.

In Yuan Ye's eyes, he no longer had the respect he had for his mother in the past, only endless ridicule.

"What's wrong with me? I'm just cultivating my own power. Does my mother want me to rely on Cheng for the rest of my life?"

Empress Cheng was questioned, she frowned and said: "The Cheng family is your maternal ancestor's family, and you can rely on it for the rest of your life."

Yuan Ye said with a half-smile, "Really?"

Empress Cheng finally frowned, and touched her abdomen involuntarily, "What's your attitude? Why do I fail to understand you more and more? Do you have any opinion on Cheng? You haven't ascended the throne yet, We still need Cheng’s support.”

Yuan Ye smiled, "Mother, instead of relying on other people's support, it is better to develop her own power. Maybe I should have figured out these principles long ago. After all, I don't want to follow Yuan Ran's old path. The Cheng family also supported Yuan Ran back then. Didn't you push him into the cliff in the end?"

The topic of Yuan Ran has always been a taboo between mother and child. Empress Cheng never expected that Yuan Ye would suddenly mention this matter, and her expression immediately became distorted. "Shut up, you are not allowed to mention him."

Yuan Ye sneered as if he saw it through: "I was wondering if my mother and the Cheng family treated Yuan Ran so cruelly back then, could they also abandon me as an abandoned child when they needed it?"

Empress Cheng suddenly panicked, "You...what the hell are you talking about? You are the child I brought up, how can you think of me like that."

Empress Cheng said that she was guilty, but in fact, he knew that if Yuan Ye could not ascend the throne smoothly, all Yuan Ye had done in the past few years was to pave the way for the child in her stomach.If Yuan Ye wants to rebel, they may still suppress it. Although it is a bit unfair, there is nothing to do with the situation.And as a mother, she would involuntarily favor the small and the weak. Empress Cheng had already favored her belly in a short while.

Yuan Ye didn't point it out, but said: "Mother, it's almost time, we should go."

Empress Cheng felt uneasy, but remembering that her father would come to persuade Yuan Ye, she could only give up for the time being.

At the palace banquet, Lin Qingyang and Chu Lishu were accompanying the fourth prince. Lin Qingyang obviously felt that Chu Lishu's momentum today was not right, as if he had been waiting for something to happen.

Because the plot had changed, Lin Qingyang didn't know when Yuan Ye would make a move, but judging from Chu Lishu's performance today, he might already know something.

Soon the royal family arrived, and the palace banquet began. Looking at a harmonious scene, no one looked at Queen Cheng strangely. Obviously, the secret about Queen Cheng was well concealed.

After drinking for three rounds, I don't know when Yuan Ye is no longer present.

"What are you looking for?" Seeing Lin Qingyang looking around, Chu Lishu asked.

"Yuan Ye is gone." Lin Qingyang said.

Chu Lishu pointed to the distance, "I was just taken away by the patriarch Cheng." The patriarch Cheng is the grandfather of Yuan Ran and Yuan Ye.

"Ask for peace?" Lin Qingyang asked.

Chu Lishu nodded and said, "They're not stupid. Now, in order to avoid both sides being hurt by the old way of the Pei family, the patriarch of the Cheng family will still find a way to stop the infighting. If they find out that Yuan Ye is targeting the Cheng family for the sake of that child, That might decide to tell Yuan Ye the truth about his life."

Lin Qingyang blinked. He didn't quite remember when Yuan Ye knew the truth in the original text, but he was very curious about one thing, and he couldn't help asking: "Actually, why didn't you tell Yuan Ye the truth earlier? Anyway, his biological father knew the truth. Now that he has ascended the throne as the emperor, tell him the truth and let him know that his position as the crown prince is not in jeopardy, maybe the Cheng family and the emperor can save a lot of trouble."

"Back then, the emperor and the Cheng family did not have a cooperative relationship without any grievances. They were on guard against each other. Cheng's prince, who needed his own support, would absolutely trust them. Heart. And the emperor doesn't like Yuan Ye at all, and he doesn't like Cheng's too strong restriction, so naturally he doesn't care whether he says it or not, I'm afraid he already wants to change his heir in his heart."

"It's true that everyone has their own ghosts, and they completely use Yuan Ye to death." Lin Qingyang sighed: "Then what are we going to say now?"

"Cheng has no choice. They all thought that Yuan Ye had dealt with them cruelly, and wanted to temporarily coax Yuan Ye into thinking that the emperor would definitely give him the throne. As long as he continued to accept Cheng's support, he would be able to grow steadily Go forward. In short, it is necessary to stabilize Yuan Ye before he does more excessive things, keep Cheng's harmony, and unanimously speak out."

Lin Qingyang remembered that those things seemed to be arranged by Chu Lishu. Yuan Ye probably just wanted to warn Cheng, but he didn't want to kill the fish, but the real and the fake were mixed together, and they couldn't tell the difference.

Chu Lishu suddenly said mockingly: "Oh, guess, if they tell the truth about Yuan Ye's life experience, will Yuan Ye stop targeting them?"

Lin Qingyang thought for a while and said: "It should be. Yuan Ye's reason for them is that they are afraid that they will support a prince who is more worthy of support than him, but if his life experience is exposed, then Yuan Ye will know that he is related to the people in his stomach. That's the same, but it's superfluous to target an unborn child who may not even grow up. It's better to focus on dealing with Concubine Mei and the others."

Maybe Cheng's rescue was in time, and nothing might really happen tonight.

"You're wrong about one thing. Even though they have the same blood in their bones, in name, Yuan Ye and the emperor can only be uncles and nephews forever, so Yuan Ye won't be at ease..." Chu Lishu's eyes were cold Coldly sweeping the seat where Yuan Ye sat, "Yuan Ye is especially taboo about this aspect, even if it is his own, he will not let it go easily."

After Yuan Ye's death on Yuan Ran's fake death, the former brotherly love suddenly dissipated, so how could he be soft-hearted to a fetus in the womb.

Possibly even more disgusting.

The patriarch of the Cheng clan pulled Yuan Ye to try and persuade him that the old fox was still an old fox after all, and soon found out that Yuan Ye did know about Queen Cheng's pregnancy, so he had a frank conversation, analyzed the stakes, and guaranteed that as long as Yuan Ye didn't As for the child and the Cheng family, they will continue to support Yuan Ye without reservation.

They thought that as long as Yuan Ye knew that he was actually the emperor's child, it would naturally ease his hostility towards the other child.

But they were wrong, after they finished speaking, Yuan Ye could not hear other voices at all, he just felt extremely disgusted, he couldn't believe his ears, as if there were ants crawling in the blood vessels all over his body.

He turned out to be the illegitimate child of the empress's affair with the emperor's uncle.

This is simply to discredit his noble royal blood.He has always believed that his succession to the throne is justified, and if the uncle does not give the throne, it will be usurping the throne.Because he is the heir of the lineage.But now, does he still have the face to think so?If others knew, what would they think of him, a crown prince with a dishonorable reputation.

He is not as good as Yuan Ran in other aspects, but at least without Yuan Ran, no one is more qualified to inherit the throne than him.But now even the bloodline has lost, let alone the name.Yuan Ye couldn't accept this kind of cognition at all.

When he was young, although the first emperor did not pay as much attention to him as he did to Yuan Ran, he was also very loving, and that was the emperor father in his memory.

And now the person on the throne is not the emperor's uncle but his real father, and this person has never cared about him, how could Yuan Ye accept this, they have always been enemies!

The patriarch of the Cheng clan was still talking, to the effect that he hoped that he would take good care of Queen Cheng and the child in her stomach, because they would be his help in the future.

However, Yuan Ye realized that the child and him were the real same father and mother. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he smiled and said, "Really? My grandfather really thinks I'm a three-year-old child so he can fool me." ? Is what you said really good for me?"

The patriarch of the Cheng clan was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Is what I said unreasonable? Then what good is it to fight with us, and he is your own brother."

Yuan Ye sneered, "Under the imperial power, aren't those who die are relatives? In the past, Yuan Ran, which you supported, was out of control. After you gave up, it was replaced by me. In the future, I will not be controlled, so you can change it again." one?"

The patriarch of the Cheng clan didn't expect Yuan Ye to think so extreme. They didn't deal with Yuan Ran because Yuan Ran was out of control, but because Yuan Ran wanted to destroy the clan.And there's that prophecy...

"Your Highness, you misunderstood." The patriarch said with a stiff face.

"Whether you misunderstand or not is not important, it's easy not to fight, as long as you don't have a choice." Yuan Ye sneered.

The patriarch of the Cheng clan immediately became uneasy. Just as he was about to continue persuading, there was a loud noise from the palace banquet, and the patriarch's face changed drastically. He hurried over and saw Queen Cheng sitting on a chair, curled up and clutching her stomach. Flowing down the chair, the ground was stained red.

The patriarch of the Cheng clan couldn't believe that Yuan Ye could really do such a cruel thing. Looking back, Yuan Ye smiled at him and said, "No... there is only one choice. If you think about a few more preparations in the future If you choose, then don’t blame me for not thinking about family affection.”

Seeing the farce in front of him, Lin Qingyang frowned uncomfortably, turned to look at Chu Lishu, and saw him staring at Queen Cheng with dark eyes, with a sneer on his mouth, Lin Qingyang didn't know what Chu Lishu would be at this moment No matter what mood, I couldn't help reaching out and pulling La Chuli's book.

Chu Lishu held Lin Qingyang's hand tightly, still looking at Queen Cheng, watching her being carried away, as if enjoying the joy of revenge.

Lin Qingyang could only look into the distance, Yuan Ye pretended to be a filial son and left with Queen Cheng long ago, only the patriarch of the Cheng clan stood where he was, as if he had suffered a major blow, "It seems that he really knew the truth and made a move. "

"I said that he will not let go of this opportunity. This night is not only for solving his confidants, but also for other purposes. I don't think he can come up with such a delicate approach. Maybe he has something A new advisor." Chu Lishu said slowly.

Lin Qingyang asked doubtfully, "How to say?"

Chu Lishu glanced at the seemingly calm emperor, and slowly explained...

The palace banquet ended early because of Empress Cheng's sudden abdominal pain, and the imperial doctor who came to check Empress Cheng's pulse was afraid to speak. Who would dare to say that Empress Cheng had a miscarriage.So we only talk about emergencies, direct treatment, and only the Queen Mother is watching over the whole process.

Soon came the news that Empress Cheng collapsed and cried in the palace, and then became bedridden.

Everyone had already guessed that the woman was bleeding suddenly, but this time Empress Cheng's performance made people's minds run wildly in one direction.

'Queen Cheng had a miscarriage', 'Queen Cheng had an adulterous pregnancy with the current emperor's uncle and sister-in-law', 'the saint is contrary to human relations', 'His Royal Highness is pitiful' and other news gradually spread among the people, directly forming contempt and hatred for the behavior of the emperor and Queen Cheng. The trend of sympathy for Yuanye.

If the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince at this time, it would be like putting his face in front of the world and waiting to be scolded.

At that time, Lin Qingyang was still wondering why Yuan Ye insisted on holding a palace banquet openly to harm people. It turned out that the real purpose was to directly expose the scandal between his mother and the emperor, so that people in the world could sympathize with him, and then damage the reputation of the emperor. , In this way, even if the emperor wants to choose the fourth prince as the crown prince, he still has to stop everyone.

It's really killing two birds with one stone.

Not only that, this matter also involved a person, which brought great benefits to Chu Lishu, and that was Manager Sheng.

Abortion drugs were added to the food that Queen Cheng ate, and Manager Sheng was in charge of the palace banquet, and Manager Sheng was also the one who checked the main royal food, but Queen Cheng was still poisoned, which made people have to doubt Manager Sheng.

Unexpectedly, without the trap that Chu Lishu had set for Manager Sheng before, he would have been implicated by Yuan Ye's plan. Although he was not guilty of death, he was also relegated to the place where Ning Ziheng was before.

This has led to Director Hai becoming the emperor's most trusted person now, and Director Hai also supports his apprentices, one by one to the top, this time, in the palace, except for the imperial guards around the emperor, the other imperial guards and palace guards Everyone is in the hands of Chu Lishu.

Everything was going too fast and smoothly, and the plot was advanced too much, which made Lin Qingyang feel that the finale was coming soon.

On the other side, someone came to the East Palace to send a message, asking Yuan Ye to go to the Ziwei Hall, but Yuan Ye sent it away directly and refused to go.

Jing Rouyin came to deliver snacks. In recent days, she has been favored by Yuan Ye because she helped Yuan Ye.

The method of the palace banquet was designed by her to give Yuan Ye a desperate risk, and she also injected the poison while paying her respects. She felt extremely happy because she avenged her child.

Yuan Ye was in a good mood, and when he thought that he won was his biological parents, he felt indescribably elated.Jing Rouyin, who saw the proposal, was much more pleasing to the eye, hugged her and went to bed, while venting, she joked: "If you can think of more good ideas, the future empress position will definitely be yours."

Although Jing Rouyin cooperated physically, she sneered again and again where Yuan Ye could not see. She told herself to hold back her nausea and try her best to conceive before Yuan Ye died, so that her future would be guaranteed.

The matter of the palace banquet was not an idea she could think of, but she just listened to other people's opinions.Originally, she wanted to secretly let Yuan Ye know the truth, let their mother and son fight, and watch from the sidelines, but someone gave her a different idea.

Jing Rouyin thought of the man who firmly told her that she had the look on her face when she had the fate of the Phoenix, and Jing Rouyin couldn't help being moved, that's right, as long as the emperor and Yuan Ye are dead, then the child she conceived will easily be a matter of course If she inherits the throne, the Cheng family can only support her at that time.

For this reason, she obediently proposed to curry favor with Yuan Ye, gain Yuan Ye's trust, and wanted to have another child.

Only in this way can she realize her phoenix destiny, as long as she obediently listens to that person, everything will come true.
