Concubine Wan's heart skipped a beat and a smile of surprise appeared on her face.

"real?!"

She propped herself up, looked at the aging Jiang Yunshu, and said in a charming voice.

"No wonder His Majesty acted like a madman just now."

As her eyes flickered, she thought a lot.

The emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and he may die any day.

Although the crown prince was imprisoned, he was still the crown prince after all.

If the emperor passed away one day, after so many years of fighting openly and secretly with the queen, would she and Yin'er still have a good ending?

She must seize the crown prince position as soon as possible. Only then can she feel at ease.

However, in the time it took her to let her thoughts drift away, by the time she turned around, Jiang Yunshu had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Concubine Wan rolled her eyes, sighed, and lay down helplessly.

"I need to discuss this with Yin'er. We must fight for the position of crown prince."

The next day.

After the morning court session, Jiang Yin did not leave the palace immediately, but turned and went to Concubine Wan's bedroom.

"See the Imperial Concubine."

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so don't talk about those etiquettes."

Concubine Wan waved her hand gently and then went straight to the point.

"Last night, I heard your father say that South Vietnam had been conquered."

Hearing this, Jiang Yin also nodded.

"During the morning court session, my father had already spoken about this matter in front of all the officials, and the whole court was in an uproar."

After a slight pause, he continued.

"Although the conquest of Nanyue Capital was expected, I didn't expect Jiang Li to be so fast."

"That's not the point." Seeing that Jiang Yin didn't get to the point, Concubine Wan couldn't help but remind him, "Although the prince is imprisoned now, he is still the crown prince."

Jiang Yin lowered his eyes slightly, and then sighed.

"It is almost certain that the Crown Prince and Concubine Xi are having an affair, but the Crown Prince is always cautious in his actions. I have not found any solid evidence that he secretly sold grain and grass to South Vietnam."

Concubine Wan said tentatively.

"Or, you can just spread the news secretly and let the world know about this scandal. By then, Jiang Yunshu will have no choice but to be deposed."

"No." Jiang Yin shook his head. "It's too risky and will also damage the reputation of the royal family."

It's not like he hadn't thought about this method, but he didn't have any hard evidence.

These are just the news I heard from Qiuyuebai, which is not enough to prove anything.

Moreover, once the news spread, the royal family would be disgraced and his reputation as a member of the royal family would also be damaged.

It would be best to find evidence of the prince's collusion with the enemy, so that the prince can be overthrown with justification.

"Now that Nanyue has been destroyed, what can you do even if you find evidence of the prince's crime?" Concubine Wan shook her head helplessly, "I'm afraid that if it drags on for too long, he may die at any time."

As if she had thought of something, she immediately raised her hand.

"Now that South Vietnam has been destroyed, is it possible for us to start looking for evidence of the Crown Prince's crimes from South Vietnam?"

Jiang Yin stood up immediately as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

"I heard that Li Lingge went to South Vietnam some time ago. I will go to Prince Wei's Mansion in person. If he comes back, he may bring back good news."

"Wait a minute!" Just when Jiang Yin couldn't wait to leave, Concubine Wan stopped him, "Why are you in such a hurry? I have something else to tell you."

"What else, mother?"

Jiang Yin paused and sat back down.

The prince was like a piece of iron. He had been searching for so long but couldn't find any evidence of his guilt. When he suddenly had a direction, he was so excited.

Concubine Wan stood up, walked to Jiang Yin's side and spoke softly.

"Last night I heard His Majesty muttering about Fengshan in his dream. Conquering Nanyue is an achievement that is worthy of being recorded in the annals of history. I guess he wants to go to Mount Dai to offer Fengshan."

After a slight pause, she continued.

"If you take this opportunity to make suggestions and ask His Majesty to grant you a chance to enter the Heavenly Palace, you will surely win His Majesty's heart."

Jiang Yin's eyes lit up involuntarily, and he nodded heavily.

"I will discuss this with them when I get back and write the memorial in the evening."

Chapter 263: In front of Yun Yourong, ravaging Li Lingge

263.

It was already past noon when Yun Yourong slowly woke up.

She rubbed her swollen temples and turned her head to look around.

Only then did he realize that he was in his own room, but it was a mess.

The sheets were wrinkled and even had large patches of wetness.

The round table in the room had been moved, and the tablecloth was in a mess, with creases all over it.

"How long did Lingge torment you last night?"

Yun Yourong's face flushed and she couldn't help but look down.

However, a look of doubt soon appeared on her face.

"Why am I so fully dressed?"

Yun Yourong pursed her lips and tried hard to recall everything that happened last night.

She drank the wine that Lingge specially mixed, and then felt dizzy and her memory began to become fuzzy.

I vaguely remember that Zhong Lingyue seemed to have come.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"How could that woman come to the palace?"

"It must be because of the alcohol that he is hallucinating."

Yun Yourong slowly got up and opened the door, only to find that it was already dawn.

"Lingge is really something. The dosage is so strong that I have been sleeping till this hour."

After changing her clothes and washing up, there was a knock on her door.

"Sister-in-law, breakfast is ready."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Yourong turned and looked outside the house.

Seeing Li Lingge standing at the door, she couldn't help but get angry.

"You knew to call me for breakfast."

Yun Yourong walked to the door and gently touched Li Lingge's forehead with her slender index finger.

"I can drink a lot, but I got drunk after just one drink last night. What do you think happened?"

Li Lingge's eyes flickered and he pretended to be confused.

"I don't know what happened to my sister-in-law last night. She got so drunk after just one drink."

He took a step forward and whispered in Yun Yourong's ear.

"You were still talking about feeding me pointe wine last night."

Then he continued speaking, imitating Yun Yourong's tone.

"You also said, Lingge, drink slowly, um——"

Before he could finish his words, Yun Yourong covered his mouth.

At this time, Yun Yourong's face had already turned red with shame, and she stared at Li Lingge's teasing eyes with shame and anger.

"How could I possibly say something like that!"

Li Lingge's eyes turned and he spoke meaningfully.

"I have evidence. I recorded it with the photo beads last night. Do you want to see it?"

As he spoke, he took out the photo bead from his storage ring.

Seeing that he really took out the photo-taking bead, Yun Yourong couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"You, you even recorded it!"

She reached out to grab the photo-keeping bead and destroy the evidence of last night's crime.

"Even if I said something nonsense, it was because you gave me the drug."

Li Lingge had just raised the photo-taking bead in his hand when Yun Yourong suddenly threw herself into Li Lingge's arms.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous, and Yun Yourong's beautiful eyes were misty.

Her moist red lips opened slightly, her breath was as sweet as orchid.

Feeling the softness in Yun Yourong's heart, Li Lingge was at a loss for a moment.

He lowered his raised arms and then hugged Yun Yourong's slender waist tightly.

Yun Yourong couldn't help but stiffen, and subconsciously hugged Li Lingge's neck tightly with both hands.

The distance between them grew closer and closer until their noses touched.

Li Lingge was eloquent, but in the blink of an eye, Yun Yourong collapsed powerlessly in his arms.

After a cup of tea.

Yun Yourong lay on Li Lingge's chest, panting and muttering softly.

"It wasn't enough that I tormented you all night last night, and you come again early in the morning."

Li Lingge knew very well that Yun Yourong had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain what happened last night.

The empress pushed too hard, and he had no choice but to surrender.

Last night in the Nanyue Palace, after hearing the conversation between Yun Yourong and the Empress, he finally understood how Yun Yourong felt about him.

A gift from God, I have been looking forward to the day when I can open it.

He couldn't imagine how disappointed Yun Yourong would be if she knew what he had done outside.

Therefore, he could only try his best to make up to Yun Yourong, such as giving her a kiss in the morning.

"Let's go have breakfast."

"You go out and wait for a while. I'll change my clothes."

After all that time, the clothes she had just changed into were soaked again.

Li Lingge did not let go of his hand. After all, after the battle in the holy realm last night, the ambiguous relationship between the two of them was almost known to everyone. There was no need to hide it.

"I've already seen everything I should see. Do I still need to avoid it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yun Yourong's mood, which had finally calmed down, was suddenly disturbed again.

She pushed Li Lingge out of the door, but deliberately left a gap when closing the door.

Looking at the three-finger-wide gap in the door, Li Lingge, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but laugh.

The next moment, he heard a rustling sound.

However, he turned around and looked at the sky instead of looking into the house.

Everything about Yun Yourong had already been deeply engraved in his mind.
