Royal Palace
In the bed chamber two people love eachother.
After sometime Su Yaoqin looked at Zhao Yuncheng and asked "Do you think that maid gave that poisonous food to her?"
Looking at his beloved 's face Zhao Yuncheng smirked and said "Of course, she can not ignore the order from the Emperor ".
Su Yaoqin said panicked voice "Then we should kill that maid very soon. If she says that this was your order, then you will be in trouble".
Hearing his this type of words from his beloved's voice he raised his eyes and asked "What do you say? You want to kill that maid? Previously when I said that we should kill that useless burden, you always said we should not hurt her. Though she always harm you. And now you are okay with killing an innocent maid?"
Realising her mistaken of words choiced she said "I just don't want to see you in any trouble. I can do anything for you. I know this is wrong but I can do anything for you. Because I love you more than myself ".
Hearing his beloved's confession Zhao Yuncheng smiled and said "I know you love me very much. And you are really very good person that's why after she hurt you so many times, you still don't say anything against her".
She hugged him and said "Your majesty, she is gone now. You should respect a deceased and don't say anything against her. After all my sister loved you very much ".
Then she looked at him for sometime and asked "Btw, your majesty, Do you think what will you tell to the prime minister?"
He roled his eyes and said "It's not like he care about his daughter. And I talked to my mother we have to do something to weaken prime minister's power. I am the emperor but he has more power than me in the court. Every noble support his decision. This was good for me to ascend throne but now it can be obstacle".
Hearing this she nodded and said "You are right. But don't worry, my aunty already plan something for it. You don't have to worry about him. He can not be problematic for long time ".
Hearing Su Yaoqin's words he narrowed his eyes and asked "What do you mean?"
She rubbed her hands on his heart and said "Don't worry your majesty, my aunty will take care of him ".
Hearing her confident voice he took a deep breath and said "I trust your aunt's plan. Her plans always work".
Then she hugged him and said "Btw, your majesty, when will we go to the cold palece and see sister's dead body with our own eyes ".
He kissed her forehead and said "If my new Empress want to go there now and see that ugly woman's dead body then I will fulfill my new Empress's wish".
After sometime they both came to the palace hall.
The Emperor called a servant and asked about that maid's whereabouts .
That servent said that she didn't come from the cold palece yet.
Some soldiers looked at the palace for sometime but didn't see any movement.
Su Yaoqin looked at the Emperor worriedly but he ressured her.
When They both try to went to the cold palece, a servant ran towards them and said with panicked voice "Your majesty, Prime Minister and every noble came here to meet you".
Hearing this both Zhao Yuncheng and Su Yaoqin felt scared .
They don't know how to deal with the prime minister and those nobles yet.
They didn't plan anything yet.
But they have to go there and see why those people came here suddenly.
If prime minister knew anything Wanyin told them before but they didn't get any news from her.
They relaxed and went to see those people in main hall.
.....
Main Hall
Emperor sat on the throne, Su Yaoqin stood beside him.
Seeing them together prime minister greeted his teeth.
Everyone was shocked to see them together.
They all know Emperor married to the daughter of prime minister and make her as their Empress.
And now he stood with other woman.
Everyone knew about their relationship and also knew that that girl was adopted daughter of the prime minister.
No one knew what to say, so they keep quiet.
Looking at the prime minister Su Yaoqin smiled and said with polite tone "Father, you are here. Why don't you tell me that you are coming, I can prepare delicious dishes for you".
He ignored her and kneeled down and said "Your majesty, can we get to know why you send our Empress to the cold palece?"
Hearing that both Zhao Yuncheng and Su Yaoqin's eyes widened with shock.
They didn't think that he already knew about it.
Zhao Yuncheng calm himself down and said "Empress did horrible crime, that's why she got punishment ".
Hearing this prime minister greeted his teeth in anger but asked with calm voice "What horrible crime she committed, your majesty?"
Emperor narrowed his eyes and said "She tried to kill Su Yaoqin. I know that she is your daughter but Su Yaoqin is also your daughter and she lived with you for all this years. You can not become partial, Prime Minister".
After telling that both Zhao Yuncheng and Su Yaoqin felt relieved.
They knew Prime Minister can not blame Su Yaoqin now.
Otherwise everyone will criticize him.
But suddenly they heard his clear voice again "I don't remember I have two daughters. I only have one daughter and her name is Xue Lanxuan and she is the Empress of this country".
Then he looked at Su Yaoqin and said "You are an orphan. I felt pity on you that's why I let you live in my house, give you free foods, clothes. That is called charity. That doesn't make you my daughter".
Hearing this Su Yaoqin's face became red with embaresment .
After hearing that Emperor became furious and said "Prime Minister, I never thought you can be so cruel to insult Su Yaoqin like that".
Before Prime Minister said anything someone from the back said "Brother, what does he say wrong? In fact he gave all those things freely to Miss Su Yaoqin, she should be greatful. Otherwise who has big heart like our prime minister who doesn't just donate money and gold to poor people but also took them in their own house and treat them as their own daughter".
Everyone looked towards that voice and saw handsome man who carried the cold aura stand there with a smile.
He was the untouchable Prince Regent.
Everyone looked at him with admiration.
Emperor greeted his teeth with Fury.
He hate this person very much.
He was the former crown Prince and now the prince regent.
Back then Everyone wanted him to become the Emperor.
If Zhao Yuncheng didn't tricked Xue Lanxuan and got her father's support then, this person could sit on the throne.
Thinking about it Zhao Yuncheng became more furious.
But he control his emotion and calm himself down.
A fake smile appeared on his face and he greeted his brother "I don't know you are coming today, Imperial brother ".
Prince Regent looked at the Emperor's fake smile and a satisfying smile appeared on his face.
And he replied "It's been a long time, and I came to meet my imperial brother. That's why I am here but I am not here with empty hand brother. I bring a gift for you ".
Then he looked surrounding and sighed "But I guess this is not the good time to receive any gifts".
Of course this was not a good time for the Emperor and Prince Regent knew about it very well.
After all he was the one who created this mess for the Emperor.
He knew everything what happened in the palace, in fact he also knew what happened into the prime minister's manor.
He bribed that servant to tell everything in front of the prime minister.
Before Prime minister was in a business trip that's why he didn't get chance to let him know about his daughter's situation but when he returned prince regent made his move.
When Zhao Yuncheng married prime minister's daughter.
He didn't react very much because his supporters always behind his back.
But he didn't know that the prime minister can also influenced his supporters.
When prime minister support Zhao Yuncheng, all of crown Prince's supporters leave him and support Zhao Yuncheng.
He was angry at that time.
He was angry with Zhao Yuncheng who did not deserve that throne but got it, hate Empress Dowgar who was maid of his mother but his mother died and she became the concubine of his late father.
He hate prime minister because that person knew that Zhao Yuncheng didn't deserve to be the Emperor but still supported him because of his daughter.
And last but not least he loathed that daughter of prime minister.
They didn't know eachother but unknowingly she ruined his life.
But when this foolish Emperor brought his mistress in the palace, prince regent knew this was his time to act.
He also knew that Empress was already died in that cold palece.
And Emperor was the one who ordered a maid to poison her meal.
His people were in this royal Palace and they told him everything happens in this royal Palace.
But he didn't intervene.
This was all their Karma for took something that belong to him.
And that woman was stupid enough to fall in love with that incompetent man and this was the consequences of loving a scu*bag .
And now It's time to reclaim his throne.
