Inside the emperor's bedroom, the emperor lay weakly on the dragon bed, pointing at his fourth son who was standing in the hall in military uniform and holding a sword. He was so angry that he was speechless.
"Father, I have no choice. You forced me to do this."
"From childhood to adulthood, you only have eyes for the prince, only for him. No matter how hard I try, no matter how outstanding I am, you will never see it."
"My mother has loved you for more than twenty years, and has waited for you for more than twenty years. But you can't respond to her feelings. After all, you are the emperor, and this cannot be blamed on you. But why are you reluctant to give her even the position of empress?"
"That woman is already dead, why do you still want to keep her in that position? How do you want to embarrass my mother?"
The emperor was able to remain calm at first, but when he heard her mention Imperial Noble Consort Yun Yujin, his expression became noticeably angrier.
"Son, you don't need to make so many excuses. Don't you just want the position of crown prince? Don't you just want the throne?"
"You are just like that vicious mother. Your mother poisoned my beloved, and you poisoned the prince. If I had known how vicious that woman was earlier, I would never have allowed her to enter the palace, let alone let her get pregnant with you!"
Xi Muyan didn't expect that there would be such a twist and turn here. He was stunned for a moment, "Impossible, my mother...it's impossible to poison my mother."
At this moment, the Imperial Concubine Yun Yujin, who had been hiding outside the door, walked in in gorgeous clothes, "Yan'er..."
Xi Muyan looked at her hesitantly: "Mother, is this... true?"
Since he was a child, his mother had always told him that he must be stronger than the crown prince and that he must win honor for her, etc. She was very strict with him since he was a child.
Although he was resistant in his heart, after feeling her pain, he felt that his father was really unfair to her. He felt that the prince owed him and his mother because his father had given him all the love.
Therefore, he never resisted and regarded the throne as his lifelong wish, even at the cost of attacking his father. But now, facts tell him that all the injustices have reasons.
Yun Yuhuan was silent for a moment and did not answer. Instead, she walked slowly towards the dragon couch. Reluctance and insatiable anger were written on her beautiful face.
"Your Majesty? So you knew it all along. Why didn't you say anything all these years? And you even promoted me to the position of Imperial Consort?"
The emperor sneered and slowly sat up by supporting himself on the edge of the bed.
"Huh? If it weren't for your mother's prominent family, do you think I would have kept you until now? I wanted to chop you into ten thousand pieces and torture you to death!"
"I'll tell you the truth! The reason I promoted you to the position of Imperial Noble Consort is because I want you to always be staring at the position of Queen, but never get it."
"I want you to be suppressed by my woman forever, so that you can never surpass her. I want you to suffer this torture for the rest of your life? I also want you to be the target of public criticism? I want all the women in the harem to regard you as an enemy."
The emperor sneered, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"It's a pity that I was a step too late and let you get pregnant with this child. Otherwise, you would never have the chance to be a mother in this life."
"What?"
Yun Yujin was devastated. She looked in disbelief at the man she had loved for more than twenty years, almost thirty years.
"You... you... you gave me the sterilization drug?"
The emperor's eyes flashed with coldness: "Yes, it was me who gave it to you, and I fed it to you personally."
