Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 231 Nan Rongzhi's identity is revealed

It was easier for Ye Rong to take over the Ye family than he imagined.

Ye Wen said nothing, resigned from the position of vice president of Donglin Academy, and returned to his hometown with his wife.

This is to show support for Ye Rong.

It also makes those who want to sow discord between them as father and son and lead them into fighting give up.

The head of the Ye family is only Ye Rong.

Although Ye Rong is a scholar, he also has a decisive side. He will deal with anyone with ill intentions without mercy.

It only took one month to clean up the Ye family.

As soon as the curtain fell here, a shocking news spread throughout the capital.

The Crown Prince of Nanrong Kingdom, Nan Rongzhi is actually a woman.

Once the news spread, not only the court was shaken, but even the people began to talk about it.

Many court officials wrote to the emperor, saying that the empress and the crown prince had deceived the emperor and impersonated princesses as princes, and that their crimes were unforgivable, and asked him to execute them.

Also, the crown princess is a girl and cannot be the heir to the throne. Let the emperor abolish her crown princess position and appoint another prince.

Those who said these words were naturally from the eldest prince's faction.

Those who originally supported the prince felt like the sky was falling. Just when Nan Rongzhi was about to win, they were suddenly transformed from a prince into a princess.

It is equivalent to giving up the throne that has been obtained.

Meng Xiyue didn't care about the chaos outside.

At this moment, she was calmly playing chess with Zhao Lanxue.

"Lanxue, you made a mistake again."

Zhao Lanxue looked at the chess game on the table and put down the chess piece in her hand with some annoyance.

"I think this step is still too risky. You don't know how conservative those people are. It will be too difficult for Nan Rongzhi to keep his position as the crown prince."

"Do you not believe in Nan Rongzhi, or do you not believe in yourself?"

“I have no confidence now.”

Zhao Lanxue sighed. When she found out that Nan Rongzhi was a girl, she felt like the sky had fallen.

She felt that she had been deceived, and she couldn't accept it, nor was she willing to accept it?

She couldn't accept that the person she had always loved was a woman, and she also couldn't accept that the person she had been trying so hard to support was a woman.

Then what was the meaning of everything she had done before?

Once Nan Rongzhi's female identity is discovered, all efforts will be in vain, even if she secretly controls the Zhao family.

The requests that Nan Rongzhi and Meng Xiyue had promised her at the beginning were unable to be fulfilled.

If that was the case, they shouldn't have provoked me in the first place and aroused my ambitions.

She was honest and foolish and married Nan Rongxin, and spent her life like this.

But now, she had joined their camp and was getting closer and closer to success, but they told her the truth.

She just felt it was extremely cruel, and she had a big fight with Meng Xiyue because of this incident.

Nan Rongzhi and Meng Xiyue also gave her the opportunity to choose again.

Now she is just secretly standing on Nan Rongzhi's side, and few people know about it yet. If she wants to withdraw, it is also possible.

She struggled painfully for more than ten days, and finally chose to continue cooperating with Nan Rongzhi and Meng Xiyue.

She really was unwilling to be a housewife.

Once she came into contact with power, her ambitions were infinitely magnified.

Her original suggestion was that Nan Rongzhi's female identity should be kept secret forever and never discovered by anyone in her lifetime.

But Nan Rongzhi and Meng Xiyue refused, saying that the matter must be revealed while the emperor is still alive.

Although she thought they were crazy, she finally chose to cooperate with them.

Nan Rongzhi's identity as a girl was revealed to her father by herself, and then Prime Minister Zhao told the eldest prince.

The eldest prince had been provoked by Meng Xiyue last time, and had been trying to find ways to deal with Nan Rongzhi.

When he suddenly received such explosive news, he couldn't keep calm and immediately went to expose her.

Everything went as expected, Nan Rongzhi was imprisoned in the palace.

"I really don't understand why you guys have to take this risky move."

Zhao Lanxue sighed. It was obviously the best choice to hide forever.

Meng Xiyue raised her eyes, "Because I don't want her to hide for the rest of her life. It's not wrong for her to govern this country as a woman."

"I'm afraid that the people's support that she has worked so hard to gain will vanish because of her identity as a girl."

Zhao Lanxue felt that no one would accept that the emperor of their country was just a woman.

"You underestimate the people. What do the people care about most?"

Meng Xiyue put the chess pieces into the box one by one.

"What the common people care about is whether they can survive and who can make their lives better. As for who the emperor is, they don't care at all."

"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. What matters is what he can bring to them. In the past two years, they have seen the prince's virtue. In order to maintain their own lives, they will still support the prince."

"It's the same for the court officials. Like you, when they first learned about Nan Rongzhi's identity, they felt they couldn't accept it, but after thinking about it, they still had to support her."

"I'm different. I'm also a woman, so I can naturally understand the prince's situation, but others are different."

Zhao Lanxue frowned tightly. She knew how arrogant those men were. They simply could not tolerate women who were more talented than them, standing above them, and bossing them around.

"They are essentially the same. They will help whoever can bring them greater benefits."

Meng Xiyue believes that people are selfish and will always choose the side that is beneficial to themselves.

"Besides, the Emperor is here?"

"If the Emperor knew that the Queen and the Crown Prince had deceived him, would he still protect the Crown Prince?"

Zhao Lanxue felt that it was good enough that the emperor could save their lives.

Everything was just Meng Xiyue and Nan Rongzhi's wishful thinking.

Meng Xiyue smiled and did not explain, "There will be a final conclusion on this matter at the morning court in three days. What we need to do now is to make those people unwaveringly support Nan Rongzhi."

"If they still remain conservative, then we will beat them into submission, using courtesy first and then force."

Since they have taken this step, they must have thought of a backup plan, Meng Xiyue sighed.

"Lan Xue, although it is risky for us to take this step, we don't have time. We must get rid of the eldest prince while the emperor is still alive, so that Nan Rongzhi can succeed to the throne legitimately."

The eldest prince's faction is too cautious, and only Nan Rongzhi's identity can force them to take action.

If they wait until the emperor leaves and Nan Rongxin is fully prepared, they may not be able to win.

Moreover, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Nan Rongzhi's identity may not be kept secret forever.

If Nan Rongzhi's identity was revealed after the emperor's death, she would forever bear the crime of deceiving the emperor.
