Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Feng Shuyao's resentment was about to consume her at this moment.

She guessed that someone was plotting against her this time, but she had no evidence and couldn't be sure who it was between Di Manli and Feng Qingluan.

Or both of them joined forces.

She swallowed her anger and pretended to cry more weakly and pitifully, trying to win the sympathy of Xie Yan.

"Your Majesty, I am sincere to you. I really love you. Please believe my sincerity and don't be provoked by their words."

Even after the truth was revealed, she was still pretending. Di Manli couldn't stand Feng Shuyao's dead look and sneered:

"Instigating? Didn't you do these two things yourself? Now that the truth has been revealed, it's time for you to suffer the consequences."

Di Manli looked at Xie Yan:

"Your Highness, the facts are before us. Feng Shuyao has been lying to you from the beginning to the end, playing tricks on you. Now that the truth is out, I'm afraid that the Chu Palace cannot tolerate such a vicious and cunning person. Please punish her severely for the peace of the palace."

Bai Huazang pleaded for Feng Shuyao:

"My Lord, please think twice. Give the princess another chance for the sake of our two years of friendship. The imperial decree for promotion came down yesterday. If you punish the princess severely today, wouldn't it make the Chu Palace a laughing stock if it gets out? Anyway, this is just a matter within the palace, and the size of the matter depends on your decision."

The implication was that as long as Xie Yan didn't mind being more generous, he and Feng Shuyao could still be as loving as before.

There's no need to make a big deal out of it and let people gossip about the Chu Palace. It's best to make a big deal out of it.

Xie Yan glared at him coldly:

"You mean I should swallow my anger, right?"

This is what Bai Huazang meant, but he couldn't say it too clearly.

"The common people don't dare."

Feng Qingluan stood up and snorted:

"Xie Yan, is this all the courage and backbone you have? It's really eye-opening."

She sneered and left the Prince Chu's Mansion.

After all, she is an outsider here, and Xie Yan would not deal with Feng Shuyao in front of her.

So she left first to give Di Manli room to perform.

Di Manli had waited so long and finally got the chance to trample Feng Shuyao into the mud. After Feng Qingluan left, she went all out and reminded:

"My Lord, don't forget who made you have the stigma of favoring concubines and ignoring your wife in the capital? It was Feng Shuyao!

Feng Qingluan was the marriage arranged by the late emperor, and you are the legitimate princess of Chu. If you had known that it was she who saved you and that she loved you so deeply, you would have been very loving to her and you would have been an enviable couple like gods.

But because Feng Shuyao pretended to be your savior, deceived your love and care, and used seductive means to sow discord between you and Feng Qingluan, you have gradually become a laughing stock in the capital and a joke that the people love to talk about. All of this was caused by Feng Shuyao. Are you going to forgive her and not pursue the matter?"

Xie Yan closed his eyes.

How could he not know all this? If it weren't for Feng Shuyao, he would still be a talented and wise king in the eyes of his father and in the hearts of the people.

It was precisely because he was deceived by Feng Shuyao that his reputation plummeted.

No wonder Feng Qingluan said he was blind before, she was not wrong at all.

With Di Manli's instigation, Xie Yan's anger continued to rise.

He used to feel distressed when he heard Feng Shuyao crying, but now he felt more and more annoyed and said in a cold voice:

"From today on, Feng Shuyao will be imprisoned in Xilingxuan. No one is allowed to visit her or come out without my order."

Feng Shuyao was shocked. Isn't this equivalent to banishing her to the cold garden?

She raised her face and looked at Xie Yan pitifully with her tearful eyes:

"My Lord, don't you want me anymore?"

Xie Yan said angrily: “This king doesn’t want to see you.”

Feng Shuyao asked again: "Then the wedding banquet in five days will not be held either?"

Xie Yan said nothing, waved his sleeves and left the main hall.

Feng Shuyao sat crookedly on the ground, crying non-stop. After Xie Yan left, she put away her pitiful look and looked at Di Manli:

"You made me like this? You bribed Jinghe to expose me. You planted spies in my yard. You did everything. Di Manli, you bitch, you schemed against me!"

Jinghe stood up, Di Manli nodded at her, and Jinghe left.

Di Manli walked towards Feng Shuyao. Bai Huazang was afraid that she would attack Feng Shuyao, so he stepped in front of Feng Shuyao and warned her:

"Concubine Di, the prince said to imprison the princess, but he didn't say to let anyone hurt her."

Di Manli raised her eyebrows: "Who said I was going to hurt her? There are things that would make her feel worse than beating her to death. Isn't that what's happening now?"

Bai Huazang stared at her but still didn't move away.

Di Manli looked down at Feng Shuyao behind him:

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. It's normal for the prince to be angry with you. If someone else had lied to me for two years, I would have killed her on the spot!

The fact that the prince still keeps you here shows that he still has some feelings for you, but you can no longer stir up any trouble. You should just fend for yourself in Xilingxuan from now on. You are simply dreaming if you want the prince to hold a wedding banquet with you!"

Di Manli scolded her heartily.

Today she finally got some relief from the humiliation and frustration she had endured since she married into the Prince of Chu's Palace.

After she left, Feng Shuyao stopped crying and Zhinan helped her up from the ground.

The housekeeper came to invite: "Princess, please go back to Xilingxuan."

Feng Shuyao returned to her yard in a rage and smashed everything she could onto the ground to vent her anger.

Zhinan advised from the side:

"Don't be angry, young lady. It's not worth getting hurt."

Feng Shuyao said angrily, "How can I not be angry? I have been bullied like this. Bai Huazang, that useless thing, can't help at all. I am under house arrest, and the news here can no longer be passed on to the prince. Zhinan, what do you think I should do?"

Zhinan said: "Miss, we have to wait and see what happens. Even Di Manli knows that the prince still has feelings for you. We made such a big mistake, but the prince only confined you. It shows that Miss has a great deal of importance in the prince's heart."

Feng Shuyao said: "That's what he said, but the prince even cancelled the wedding banquet that was announced. I'm afraid he is disappointed with me and doesn't even want to see me."

Zhinan said: "The prince is angry, it would be good to let him calm down. As the saying goes, there is a little affection when you meet. We just deceived him a little, it is not a capital crime. If you beg the prince more, he will definitely soften his heart towards you.

So you can't lose your temper, but pretend to be heartbroken, unable to eat or sleep, so that when you have the chance to meet the prince, he will feel distressed."

Feng Shuyao's eyes rolled around:

"You are right. This princess needs to stay calm and find an opportunity to have the prince come to see me."

Zhinan said: "I have come up with a good idea for you, young lady."

Feng Shuyao asked: "What's the idea?"

Zhinan looked at Feng Shuyao's belly:

"A mother's status depends on her son. Miss, if you can get pregnant with the prince's child, won't the prince still love you? This is the first child of the Chu Palace."

Feng Shuyao suddenly realized, touched her belly and smiled:

"As expected of you, this is a great idea."

A smile appeared on her lips.

Although she was under house arrest, Bai Huazang was not.

Bai Huazang was a doctor, so it was not difficult for her to get a baby out of her belly.

The master and servant discussed the funeral arrangements and decided when to have a child to win back Xie Yan's heart based on how the situation developed.
