Chapter 1921: Ambition!
When the Crown Prince heard that the Crown Princess Consort Ye Yao and the eldest grandprince Yuwen Xuhong were working together, his pupils constricted violently, his eyes filled with disbelief. His hands clenched into fists, his veins bulging as if they were about to pop out at any time. It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
At this moment, he couldn’t vent it out.
Lin Yuelan glanced at the Crown Prince’s expression from the corner of her eye, but she didn’t say anything.
“How did you guys work together?” She was asking the Crown Princess Consort.
When Crown Princess Consort Ye Yao heard their conversation, her mind went blank again, and she was completely dizzy.
However, because she had taken Lin Yuelan’s pill, she could not faint at all.
When Lin Yuelan pointed at her, she became even more flustered.
However, when she met Lin Yuelan’s eyes, she could not help but calm down.
She said, “I… I didn’t know at first, Father… He’s a spy planted in the Longyan Kingdom.”
Of course, she was referring to Zhou Anping.
“I was abandoned by him when I was young and swapped with the real daughter of the Ye family. I enjoy the treatment of a legitimate daughter in the Ye residence, and my parents are also very good to me. However, ever since he came to the Ye residence and secretly told me that I was his biological daughter, my heart was filled with bitterness. Moreover, this person never gave me a good look. I felt even more uncomfortable. For this reason, ever since I found out about my background, the purpose of my existence seemed to be to get a little bit of his love.
“He asked me to marry the Crown Prince, and I listened to him. For this, I didn’t hesitate to give up my lover.”
The Crown Princess Consort said calmly as she cried,” In these 20 years, other than telling me to marry the Crown Prince, he never asked me to do anything else. Three months ago, Xiao Jingyu’s identity was exposed, and it was about to be revealed that the imperial grand prince was behind it.”
Hearing the Crown Princess Consort’s words, Lin Yuelan frowned slightly and said,” Crown Princess Consort, if I remember correctly. When we exposed Xiao Jingyu back then, you were the one who went up to the emperor and reported that His Royal Highness, the eldest grand prince, was a traitor, right? If that’s the case, how did your cooperation continue?”
After Lin Yuelan’s reminder, the others also remembered the situation at that time. They all frowned slightly, obviously not understanding what had happened.
If they were working together, then why did Ye Yao sue Yuwen Xuhong for treason? Wouldn’t they fall out on the spot?
After all, betraying the country was a crime that could exterminate one’s entire family!
The Crown Princess Consort closed her eyes, then opened them and said,” At that time, I didn’t know that the eldest grandprince of the Imperial Family was working with them. The mission I received was to expose the imperial grand prince’s crime of treason in the throne room.”
Hearing the crown prince consort say this, and everyone looked at Yuwen Xuhong.
Yuwen Xuhong nodded.” That’s right.”At that time, I didn’t know that the Crown Princess Consort was also with them, but later I did know that she was ordered by Zhou Anping to expose me.”
“Why?” Since it was a cooperation, it was built on benefits.
However, the Crown Princess Consort exposing the crime of the Imperial Grandprince betraying the country was clearly the rhythm of falling out.
Yuwen Xuhong said resentfully,” The purpose of doing this is to force me to rebel!”
Because the Crown Princess Consort had accused him of treason, no matter if it was true or false, the Emperor would definitely get someone to investigate.
It would be fine if it were fake, but it was the truth.
As long as he didn’t listen, those people would hand over evidence of treason to the emperor.
The Crown Princess Consort said,” I don’t know what their purpose is. The mission I received was to accuse the eldest grandson of treason in the throne room!”
She really didn’t know what kind of cooperation they had.
“So, you did it just like that?!” Lin Yuelan sneered and asked,” Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending?”
The Crown Princess Consort was speechless.
“No!” However, Lin Yuelan reacted quickly. Her gaze was sharp as she shouted,” You must have other motives for doing this.” Tell me, what is your motive? Or rather, what is your real mission?”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s stern question, the others were dumbfounded.
The Crown Princess Consort held her breath, and her pupils constricted. She clenched her fists tightly and then slowly released them.
She had never expected Lin Yuelan to be so sharp.
“Haha, what mission?” Before she could respond to Lin Yuelan, Zhou Anping laughed maniacally.” The mission I gave her is to kill this dog emperor!”
