Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Because the eldest prince and the second prince died before they were born, but they were both included in the imperial family tree, so the newly born little prince was ranked as the third prince.

Since the birth of the third prince, the palace has been filled with joy and prosperity over the past two days.

But some are happy and some are worried, after all, the three-day period given by the emperor has expired.

The queen finally found out that the culprit was Zheng Wanrong's maid Teng'er.

Zheng Wanrong and Ning Shuyi became pregnant at the same time, and were both given the name Wanrong. Now Zheng Wanrong is about to give birth.

Teng'er took it upon herself to make plans for her master, hoping that her master and the future little master would be the only ones to receive the emperor's favor.

She found out that Ning Shuyi, or Ning Wanrong at the time, liked sweets after she became pregnant and would eat a few candies every day. The candies were custom-made at Gan Yitang, a shop owned by Ning Wanrong's family, and purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and brought to the palace. So she used a large sum of money to bribe the shop's sugar maker and added water boiled with light bamboo leaves when boiling malt.

Light bamboo leaves have the effect of inducing abortion and inducing labor. Although the dosage mixed with sugar was not large, Ning Wanrong still went into premature labor due to consuming too much sugar over time.

As for why the Seventh Princess was implicated, according to Teng'er, it was because she passed by the Imperial Medical Bureau a few days ago and picked up a doll. She had seen the Seventh Princess with the doll before, so she thought of returning it to Deoksugung Palace when she finished her business.

Before she could return the doll, she heard that Ning Wanrong was unwell and was afraid that she might give birth early. She thought that the light bamboo leaves had finally taken effect and was worried about being suspected. She saw the needle holes on the doll, so she thought of imitating the Gu and blaming the Seventh Princess for Ning Wanrong's incident, thus diverting everyone's attention.

Teng'er had learned to read since she was young. When Ning Wanrong and Zheng Wanrong were still talented women, they had a close relationship. Once, they talked about their respective names. Teng'er heard it and silently memorized it. So she wrote Ning Wanrong's name on the doll and secretly threw it into a corner outside the Jingyixuan Palace when no one was paying attention.

The reason why Teng'er was exposed was that on the day Ning Wanrong gave birth, someone saw her flash past the Jingyixuan courtyard. Afterwards, someone remembered her and became suspicious, so they reported her.

After being arrested, Teng'er was tortured, but her injuries worsened the next day and she died. Before her death, she confessed to her crimes, but insisted that everything she had done was done by her alone and Zheng Wanrong was not aware of it.

Although Gan Yitang was immediately closed down, the sugar-making master had already fled after receiving the money and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was implicated and all relevant persons were dealt with according to the law.

The case is now closed.

Although Barbie was sent back to Deoksugung Palace after the case was closed, Ling Qiqi was overwhelmed by the dirt on Barbie and ordered her to be burned in public. Yu'er asked her if she wanted to make a new one for her, but Ling Qiqi flatly refused.

Although Ling Qiqi was innocently implicated in this incident, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and it also made her see clearly how Yu'er felt about her.

Ever since Yu'er came back with her from Jingyixuan that day, she has been more caring and devoted to her than before. Sometimes, the look in her eyes when she looks at Ling Qiqi is so tender and she seems to want to say something but stops herself, which makes Ling Qiqi shiver.

Ling Qiqi really wanted to remind Yu'er that she should just be her only fan but not become a stalker fan.

Liu also noticed the changes in Yu'er. After Ling Qiqi fell asleep, she couldn't help but ask Yu'er.

Yu'er told Liu in detail how the Seventh Princess protected her at Jingyixuan.

After hearing this, Liu asked:

"I can see that you have always been very kind to the Seventh Princess. It is not just your loyalty to your master, but also your love for your family. The Seventh Princess is kind-hearted, so it is not surprising that she protected you that day. So your attitude towards the Seventh Princess these days makes me a little confused. I always feel that you are too concerned and nervous about the Seventh Princess, and even a little out of control."

"Sister, you don't know, but the way the Seventh Princess protected me that day reminded me of Empress Chen."

"Concubine Chen, do you know Her Majesty Concubine Chen?"

"I'm afraid the queen may not recognize me."

"Everyone says that the Seventh Princess and Empress Chen look alike."

"It's not just because we look alike. Empress Chen also saved me back then."

Yu Er paused for a moment, then continued slowly:

"I was only ten years old at that time and had just entered the palace. I was assigned to Shu Fei's palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and did rough work like sweeping and cleaning every day. I don't know why the maids around Shu Fei were very mean to me, beating and scolding me. I was submissive and crying all day long. I couldn't resist, and I didn't dare to resist. But the more I submitted, the more they bullied me. When I thought that I had to wait until I was twenty-five to leave the palace, and that I would have to endure such a life for fifteen years, I felt discouraged. At that time, my family sent someone to send a message. My mother passed away, my father remarried, and my brother died in a foreign land. All these sudden changes made me lose hope for the days after leaving the palace. One time, I was kneeling in the yard with an empty stomach. When I was about to faint, Concubine Chen came to visit Concubine Shu. She just glanced at me indifferently and didn’t pay much attention to me. But not long after, the queen became pregnant. Because the fetus was unstable and needed to rest, she temporarily handed over all the affairs of the harem to Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen took this opportunity to do some of the heavy work in the palace. The palace maids were replaced by eunuchs. Therefore, I was also replaced from Shu Fei's palace. Chen Fei then properly arranged for the replaced palace maids. Those who were willing to go home were sent out of the palace, and those who were willing to stay were rearranged. I had no family to worry about, and I had nowhere to go if I left the palace, so I decided to stay in the palace. So Chen Fei asked the heads of the palace to teach the young and good-looking palace maids who were willing to stay, and then sent them to Deokshou Palace to serve the Empress Dowager. I thought my luck had finally turned, but not long after, My family sent another message saying that the Empress Chen had sent money to my family from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that I had served the Empress Dowager very diligently and that it was a special reward. My father was very proud of me because I had relieved the family's worries and brought honor to the family. He said that when I left the palace, he would treat me well and let me work in the palace with peace of mind. It was not until then that I realized that my so-called good fortune was actually brought about by the Empress Chen. It was also the first time that I knew that a person's kindness could give a stranger and insignificant person a new life.

After Yu'er finished speaking, she sighed deeply:

"Later, when the Empress Chen came to De Shou Palace, I met her several times, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to thank her, but every time I approached her, the way she looked at me and her attitude towards me seemed to have forgotten me. Later, the Empress Chen was sent to the cold palace, and I secretly inquired about her news several times, but I was always unable to repay her. At the same time, I was also sad for the Empress. Isn't it said that good people will be rewarded? But why is God so unfair? Why can't someone as kind as the Empress have a good ending. Until later, I met the newly born Seventh Princess, and I wanted to give all my gratitude to the Empress to the Seventh Princess. But what I didn't expect was that the Seventh Princess was as kind and righteous as the Empress Chen at such a young age. I sighed that like mother, like daughter, but I was more afraid that the Seventh Princess would end up like the Empress Chen. So I secretly swore that as long as I was alive, I would protect the Seventh Princess for the rest of my life."

Yu'er became more and more excited as she spoke, and Liu consoled her:

"I see. I understand your intentions. But you should relax a little. The Seventh Princess is blessed by heaven and will surely turn misfortune into fortune. I will also do my best to take care of the Seventh Princess, just like you do, and watch her grow up well, get married well, and live the life she wants."

"Yes, the Seventh Princess will definitely do it."
