The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Hu Luanfei smiled softly, as if sighing or showing relief.

"We are both about to meet the King of Hell, what are you laughing at?" Xuanyuan Yuqing broke his treasured century-old resurrection grass into two halves without hesitation, gave one half to her and stuffed the other half into his mouth to chew.

"It's so bitter." They said in unison.

In the twelfth lunar month, the sky and earth were covered with silver frost. Except for a few people gathered in Zuihua Tower who felt something was wrong, everything else remained the same as before.

In a corner of the Beiqiu Imperial Palace, inside Fengyi Palace.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan knelt in the courtyard in the wind and snow, while in the corridor of the courtyard, the queen sat elegantly in a soft chair, sipping fragrant tea.

Fengyi Palace is really lively today, but the liveliness is not because of the concubines in the harem coming to celebrate, but because of the palace servants who are pouring in one after another with dozens of pictures of beauties.

The queen carefully looked through the women in each painting, listening to the palace maids introduce their family backgrounds, personalities, and talents one by one. They all sounded good, but she always felt that something was missing.

"What do you think?" the queen asked Xuanyuan Yuchuan who was kneeling in the yard.

"I think every girl is good, but I already have someone I like. I hope your mother can say a few good words to your father."

The Queen glanced at him unhappily and said, "Your father is holding on to his promise, so I can only choose the most outstanding lady from the powerful families to be your Crown Princess. If you have the opportunity to marry Princess Nanqi in the future, I will order the Crown Princess to be demoted and Princess Nanqi to be the principal wife. What do you think?"

"Your son has no objection, as long as your majesty likes it."

Hearing this, the Queen sneered: "It's good that you know that my mother likes it. I heard that you have collected a lot of lists of corrupt officials recently."

"If your Majesty does not like your son's involvement in state affairs, your son will stay away from it."

The Queen snorted and said angrily, "You only know how to go against our mother's painstaking efforts all day. There are only a few people in the court who support you. If the list is handed over to your father, the only people who support you will all be in the dungeon. In the future, the throne will fall into the hands of Xuanyuan Yuqing. Just imagine how miserable our future situation will be."

Xuanyuan Yuchuan lowered his head and said nothing.

The Queen said in a serious tone, "I will take care of the matter of the list for you. If you have time in the future, spend more time with Princess Nanqi, so that you don't have to go to other places and see someone you don't like."

"Yes, I obey my orders."

"Go away." The Queen said. Xuanyuan Yuchuan had no reason to stay in Fengyi Palace any longer. He was in a hurry to leave the palace and go to Zuihua Tower.

"Looking at the Crown Prince's thoughts, he doesn't seem to be going against the Queen." Jin Dong helped the Queen into the palace and said, "I think it's better to relax."

Hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't want to control him, but the current situation is not optimistic, so I have to be on guard."

"Your Majesty, are you still worried that the Crown Prince will investigate your background?"

The queen sat down in the main seat with a worried look on her face. She leaned on the table and rubbed her temples with her clean fingertips. "After all, he is not my biological son. And there is another Concubine Zhan in the palace who looks very similar to Concubine Hu. I am afraid that when His Majesty sees Concubine Zhan, he will think of Concubine Hu and investigate the old case."

"So what? It's been more than 20 years since this happened. Concubine Hu is dead and there is no evidence to prove the crime. We have also dealt with Nanny Sun, who raised the prince. The prince is your biological son. Who can doubt it?"

The Queen sighed, "I know the Crown Prince best. I say he is filial and obedient, but in fact he is rebellious. The more he is like this, the more worried I am."

Jin Dong said: "The prince is a man who cares about the overall situation and will not easily betray us."

"Who knows, if she turns against me one day, my mother-son relationship with him will be over."

The more I talk about it, the more worrying it becomes.

Jin Dong suddenly thought of something and smiled brightly, "I remember that Princess Nanqi and the Crown Prince were in the cold palace a while ago..."

The queen sneered: "I just hope Princess Nanqi can do her best and get pregnant that night."

Jin Dong smiled and said, "Then it's worth all our efforts to come up with this."

Xuanyuan Yuchuan, who had retreated and returned, listened to every conversation between the Queen and Jindong.

When he actually found out that his biological mother and Nanny Sun who raised him were killed by the Queen and her entourage, his heart felt as if it was being torn apart by the brute force of a wild beast, bleeding and in excruciating pain.

He didn't know how he walked out of Fengyi Palace. He only knew that he walked to a palace. The area around the palace was overgrown with weeds, but in this winter, there were still a few tenacious wild flowers blooming alone.

He pushed open the rusty iron door as if possessed by a ghost, and what came into view was the most familiar scenery.

How could he forget it? When he was young, Nanny Sun always invited him and Xuanyuan Yuqing to come here to play. Nanny Sun said that this was... the place where he was born.

Entering the hall, the old furnishings were still intact, but no one had lived there for many years, so there was dust and cobwebs everywhere. Even the old step-out bed was eaten by termites and was covered in powder.

He still remembers that he loved lying on this bed when he was a child. Every time he slept there, he would always dream of a gentle woman looking at him tenderly and then saying, "Chuan'er, go find your sister."

Tears are sometimes not a sign of weakness, but strength.

When Xuanyuan Yuchuan came to his senses, the first person he thought of was Hu Luanfei.

Somehow, I felt vaguely uneasy, as if I was wondering what would happen next.

……

It was snowing heavily outside, and the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the shabby room illuminated Hu Luanfei's pale face.

She hated being imprisoned, especially now that she was living a good life, and she hated the culprit who reminded her of the cruel old days even more.

Xuanyuan Yuqing, who was standing next to him, unfortunately caught a cold due to the sudden snowstorm. In the moment of hunger and cold, he could no longer hold on and fell down.

His temperature rose.

Hu Luanfei gritted his teeth, scooped a cup of spring water from the space, and fed it into Xuanyuan Yuqing's mouth bit by bit.

Maybe he was very hungry, or had a severe fever, but a little bit of coolness seemed to bring him out of the Flaming Mountain.

At this time, the second master opened the door and came in.

Hu Luanfei failed to collect the cup in time and was kicked away. The cup smashed into pieces on the corner of the wall, and the only spring water that could save his life also disappeared into the soil in an instant.

The second master frowned, pinched Hu Luanfei's neck, and almost gnashed his teeth, "You are so lucky that you are not dead. It's a pity that my brother can't survive this winter. He can't see you live like a stray dog ​​in my hands."

"If you have the guts, then kill us to avenge your brother. How can you be called a hero if you abuse us heartlessly all day long?"

"Provocation doesn't work on me." The Second Master turned his head and kicked Xuanyuan Yuqing, "After Beiqiu is defeated and Feng'er becomes the princess, I will make you kneel before Feng'er and beg for mercy in front of everyone in the world."

Hu Luanfei smiled with a fake smile, "I hope Ming Feng'er can become a princess one day, and I also hope that the two of us will beg for mercy and admit our mistakes in the future. If that day really comes, it will be a great thing for you. It's a pity that you are an old man, how can you overthrow the Beiqiu Dynasty and establish yourself as king?"
