Chapter 116

In the ancient times, eighteen years old was already considered a grown man. Many men married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Even if Ye Lanchen hadn't gotten married, there were still quite a few women in the mansion, such as the warm bed girl.

It was normal for big families to do that sort of thing.

How could Ye Lanchen not understand these things?

The emperor's eyes quickly turned towards Ye Qingchen. He looked at him with a strange expression. However, he then turned his gaze towards Tang Kexin once again. His expression became even weirder.

Ye Lanchen didn't understand this, so he felt that it was a bit strange. However, it wasn't a big deal. After all, he had always been naive.

But how could Tang Kexin know all this? Although Tang Ke's words were very reserved, he immediately understood. Because he understood, he was even more shocked.

Ye LanJue's face instantly changed a few times. This woman really dared to say anything. Was this something a woman could say?

"But how did the little girl know all this?" In the end, the Emperor couldn't hold it in and asked about the doubts in his heart.

This humble girl has recently been reading some books about solving a case. There was a case where she mentioned this. Imperial Concubine Ning's situation is very similar to what was said in that case. This humble woman feels that it shouldn't be wrong." At this moment, Tang Kexin's only explanation was that it was a book. Of course, as a military doctor in the modern world, she was extremely clear about this.

The Emperor could still accept such an explanation. Even though he felt that it was strange for a girl like her to read such a book, he didn't think much of what she had done recently.

However, Ye Lanji secretly gave a cold snort, what did he read in the book? You can read these things in books? This woman's face was not red from lying, and she was breathing hard.

But then it occurred to him that they had been so crazy that night, and he remembered that he had asked her a few times, so why hadn't she gotten pregnant?

If she was pregnant, then they could get married. However, the Third Prince would never think that even if Tang Kexin was pregnant, it would be impossible for her to get married to him.

"Mm, then how do you know that it was the palace maid who covered Imperial Concubine Ning's head with a pillow?" The emperor did not ask that question again, but continued to ask the next question. This question was even more puzzling.

It was obvious that she had suffocated herself to death with something soft like a pillow. This humble daughter had just found this pillow in her room and smelled a faint fragrance on it, similar to the scent on Imperial Consort Ning's face today, while the rest of the pillows did not, so this humble girl was sure that this pillow was filled with malice. As for something like using a pillow to kill a woman, a strong man would not do it, so it was most likely a small matter. "If a man with powerful martial arts was to do such a thing, Imperial Concubine Ning wouldn't have the chance to grab anything from him. Moreover, from a man's height, even Imperial Concubine Ning wouldn't be able to grab the button position, so this humble woman is sure that it was Xiao Xiang Dong who killed Imperial Concubine Ning.

"But you just said that the palace maid killed Imperial Concubine Ning after they brought the Fourth Prince here?" "How are you sure it was at that time?" At this moment, the emperor's expression was growing more and more astonished. This matter seemed simple, but it was absolutely impossible for ordinary people to see through it. Even the best coroner would find it difficult to determine this, yet Tang Kexin was able to determine it so accurately?

"Regarding the time, we can actually calculate it based on the changes in the corpses." Tang Kexin didn't give too much of an explanation. She only gave him a simple sentence. After all, those things were very shocking to talk about.

"Yes, yes, This King knows. This King knows, but my heart is really strong when I secretly told it to This King last time." Hearing her words, Ye Lanchen repeatedly nodded his head.

"I didn't expect that this girl would understand so much." At this moment, the Emperor was truly astonished, shocked, and even in disbelief. However, Tang Kexin's analysis was clear and straightforward, making it impossible for him not to believe her.

"Didn't you just recover from your illness? How could he possibly understand so much? " Imperial Concubine Ming's face darkened with obvious dissatisfaction. She originally thought she could use this opportunity to get rid of the Fourth Prince and strike down the empress. However, she didn't expect Tang Kexin to resolve the matter so easily.

Imperial Concubine Ming also asked many questions.

"Or perhaps, she is truly a goddess that has descended to the mortal realm." But before Tang Ke Xin could reply, a voice suddenly rang out, carrying with it a bit of a tease.

This sentence was very familiar. It was what she had said to the Third Prince back then. Of course, she had been joking back then. She hadn't thought that the Third Prince would say it so publicly.

The corner of Tang Kexin's mouth twitched. The third prince truly didn't follow his usual logic.

Everyone was obviously shocked when they heard his words?

The third prince said so? Would the third prince say such a thing?

Why was this feeling so unbelievable?

"Hahaha, I can't say for sure." The emperor, however, suddenly laughed heartily. Although his words contained a few hints of a joke, it completely resolved the problem of Consort Ming.

Tang Kexin's recovery was a miracle in itself.

"Alright, everyone can leave now. I will take care of the rest of the matters later." After laughing loudly, the emperor straightened his face and gave the order. After all, this wasn't a glorious matter. Since the matter had been resolved, it wouldn't be good for everyone to gather here.

"I'll go in and take a look at Cai'Er …" The empress's face was filled with obvious sorrow, wanting to enter the room.

"Don't go in, he's already dead. It's scary like that, you go back first." The emperor, however, grabbed her wrist and warned her softly. His voice was very gentle, very gentle, and carried an unmistakable tenderness.

When Senior Concubine Ming saw the emperor's attitude towards the empress, she hated him so much that she clenched her teeth. The emperor had never been so gentle and considerate towards her before?

The other consorts all had looks of jealousy on their faces as well.

"Mm, that's fine too." The empress thought about it for a moment, then saw Tang Kexin and Night Tide Jue standing by the side, and stopped in her tracks.

"Chen'er, send Kexin back." When they left the Peace Palace, the empress gave orders in a soft voice. She had always given orders like this, meaning for Chen'er to protect her son. Now, it seemed that no one could say who would protect whom.

Actually, she really hoped that Chen'er would be together with Xin'er. Chen'er's simplicity and innocence were the most suitable for the two of them together.

Ye Lanjue's gaze slightly sank, and he was just about to take a step forward.

"Your Highness, I have a few words I want to say to Your Highness." However, the empress suddenly spoke up to stop him.

When Ye Lanchen, who was just about to leave, heard the empress's words, he immediately stopped in his tracks. Tang Kexin also subconsciously stopped her steps as well.

"You two go back first." When the empress saw that Tang Ke's heart had also stopped, she frowned slightly and spoke again.

"Oh." Ye Lan Chen was stunned. Perhaps something like this had happened that day, and he was especially obedient. He didn't say much and just agreed.

Tang Ke naturally couldn't keep his heart, but he didn't know what the empress wanted to say to the third prince.

Ye Lan gazed at the departing back of Tang Ke Xin with a dejected expression.

"Third Prince." The empress saw his dark expression and sighed inwardly. She opened her mouth first.

Night Tide's eyes turned slightly as he looked at the empress, but he didn't say anything. A person as intelligent as him naturally knew what the empress wanted to say to him.

"I would like to discuss matters of the heart with His Highness." With Ye Lan Jue's attitude, the repressed empress found it difficult to breathe. However, this matter had to be discussed. Thus, she didn't try to cover up anything and went straight to the point.

Ye LanJue still did not speak, but the corners of his lips became even more stiff and cold.

Xin Er's illness is perfect, and I don't understand many things. My current heart is too simple, especially regarding matters of the heart, it couldn't even be considered love with Mu Shaoyi in the past, it could only be considered a kind of madness, otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for me to say that I don't love her. The empress always cared deeply about Tang Kexin's life, so she paid close attention to this aspect.

Night Tide's eyes flashed lightly. He was in complete agreement with the empress's words. That woman was really slow in her emotions.

"I have never asked for much, I only hope that Xin Er and Chen'er can be happy. I have never thought of letting Chen'er compete for anything, and I will definitely not let Xin'er be a victim of power. Just like you, Prime Minister, as long as Xin'er is happy, it will be fine." The empress's face grew more resolute. All these years, this was the reason for everything she'd done.

"Empress, do you think This King needs to rely on these?" Night Tide's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the empress didn't explain it to him, he still had some meaning in that regard.

Right now, the empress was telling him that marrying Tang Kexin wouldn't help him in any way.

What did he need to rely on at night?

"I know the ability of the third prince." When the empress heard his words, she was a little startled. She knew of Youlan Jue's abilities. When he was the new crown prince, the third prince was still young.

According to common sense, Chen'er was the eldest son. Back then, she did not want Chen'er to get involved, so she had taken the initiative to ask for the crown prince's position.

She didn't know if the Third Prince would blame her for this.

"I would like to know, just what is Your Highness thinking of my heart?" The empress thought of her goal and asked directly. She wanted to know what Yelang'er's intentions were.
