The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

conspiracy?

When others throw dirty water at me, have you ever thought that it is also a conspiracy?

At this moment, Xuanyuan Yuchuan clearly felt the collapse of his father's love, and his father's tall and majestic image gradually disintegrated in his heart.

Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion ignited in my chest, like disgust, hatred, or disappointment.

Xuanyuan Li inspected the concubines again, and the concubines who met his gaze were stared at fiercely by him with anger and resentment.

Everyone lowered their heads at the same time and became submissive.

But the affair between Concubine Shu and General Zhenbei could not be discussed openly, so Xuanyuan Yuchuan had to kneel down and ask Xuanyuan Li to do a blood test to prove their relationship.

The same is true for Concubine De.

Xuanyuan Li pressed him: "You two are in collusion, do you have a grudge against Concubine Shu?"

He stood up and left the dragon table, his face full of unconcealable annoyance.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan raised his eyes, his eyes full of reluctance, "Father, I know very well that rumors are like a knife, hurting the person involved all the time. That's why I resorted to this desperate measure to prove my sister's innocence, so as not to affect her future life."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Li became more and more irritated, and could not help but approach Xuanyuan Yuchuan, "I didn't see you caring about the concubine's life or death that day, but today you think of making plans for the emperor's sister. This shows that you are a kind-hearted brother. But..."

Xuanyuan Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "This concerns my reputation, so let's put this matter behind us and don't mention it again."

Xuanyuan Li was determined to defend Concubine Shu, and Xuanyuan Yuchuan was helpless. Concubine De was about to rescue her when a eunuch suddenly came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen wants to see you."

Xuanyuan Li frowned, full of annoyance. The little princess happened to cry at this moment, and the nanny quickly took her to Concubine Shu.

"You can take the child and leave now." As soon as Xuanyuan Li finished speaking, Concubine Shu hurriedly took her leave.

"Am I late?" Hu Cuiwei stopped Concubine Shu who was about to flee the scene as soon as she entered the room. "Sister Concubine Shu, don't rush back. I have something to settle with you."

Hu Cuiwei rarely shows her threatening side.

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth secretly, hating herself for not checking the almanac before going out today.

Hu Cuiwei saluted Xuanyuan Li first, then turned to look at the two people kneeling, "Sister and His Royal Highness, why are you both kneeling? Come, follow me and get up."

When everyone saw Concubine Chen, they involuntarily took two steps back. Concubine Xian and Concubine Wan were even more surprised and asked, "Hu Jieyu?"

Hu Cuiwei no longer concealed her identity and stood opposite them, "Long time no see, sisters."

After being surprised, Concubine Xian smiled back in a calm and polite manner. Concubine Wan was so sincere that she cried in public, "I thought I would never see you again."

"Don't cry, your makeup will look bad if you cry."

Wanpin nodded, wanting to reminisce about the past, but Hu Cuiwei cast her eyes on Shufei, who was so shocked that she could not move. After looking at her for a while, she quickly shifted her gaze and said, "Your Majesty, I was also wrongly accused of not being pregnant with a dragon descendant. In public, you and the Queen Mother forced me to abort the baby in my belly, in an attempt to use the bones of my unborn baby to prove my innocence. If it weren't for Concubine De and Wanpin who risked their lives to protect me, I would have died that day. Now Shufei has safely given birth to a princess, and all she needs is a drop of blood from the princess and your Majesty. Is it that difficult?"

When talking about the old things, the old people in the harem had different expressions. Wanpin stood up and cried, "When Chen Fei was still a concubine, so many eyes were staring at her belly. Your Majesty, Chen Fei was wronged and lost two sons. Now she has no children, shouldn't she be given an explanation?"

"How dare you!" Xuanyuan Li got so angry and embarrassed for some reason that he slapped Wanpin in the face.

Concubine Wan lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Hu Cuiwei supported Wanpin, "If you are angry, just let it go. Don't involve irrelevant people. Today, the Empress De and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged a blood test to prove the princess' innocence. You are the emperor and a gentleman. A gentleman's demeanor is open and honest, so there is no need to worry. If you are unwilling to hurt the emperor's body, I will also summon the General Zhenbei."

Xuanyuan Li withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at people. He turned around and sat back in front of the dragon table. He just stared at Hu Cuiwei, his eyes as dim as the candlelight in a lampshade.

Wanpin's nose was sore and her eyes were wet. Wanpin never liked to meddle in the affairs of the palace. When she suddenly met an old friend and reminisced about the past, she was inevitably moved. She held Hu Cuiwei's hands tightly and said, "Sister, you are a miserable person. You don't even have anyone to support you when you return to the palace. I have a cruel thought. It is better to be free outside the palace than to be isolated and helpless in the harem."

Hu Cuiwei didn't want to return to the palace in the first place. Xuanyuan Li forced her to do that that day and killed the man who treated her best. How could she not hate him?

Since he made her life difficult, she would not let him live in peace either.

"You are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me." His tone was as calm as usual, without any harshness, but the concubines knelt down together.

Hu Cuiwei and Imperial Concubine De struck while the iron was hot, not fearing that Xuanyuan Li would get angry. "Your Majesty, the princess's background concerns the reputation of the royal family, so we must investigate it thoroughly."

At this point, Xuanyuan Li glared at Concubine Shu and still insisted on his attitude, "My words are orders. Anyone who dares not to obey will be killed without mercy!"

The memorials on the dragon table were scattered all over the floor with a clatter. Everyone was shocked and lowered their heads, not daring to speak any more.

Hu Cuiwei, Imperial Concubine De and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all in sync. The more Xuanyuan Li avoids the blood test, the more suspicious it becomes that Concubine Shu and General Zhenbei are having an affair.

A new wave of rumors began to spread among the people.

"Hey, have you heard that there has been a big commotion in the palace recently? The Crown Prince asked Your Majesty to do a blood test to investigate the little princess's parentage. Guess what?"

"What? Is the little princess really not of royal blood? Or has the people in the palace already proven that Concubine Shu is having an affair?"

"How can the results come out so quickly? His Majesty simply refuses to verify the relationship."

"Doesn't it show that there really is something wrong? You're making excuses here and there, and the more you explain, the worse it gets. If it were me, I would just do a test. If the princess is not of my blood, then it's Concubine Shu's fault."

"Maybe your majesty doesn't dare. If Concubine Shu and General Zhenbei really have an affair, then wouldn't General Zhenbei have to be beheaded?"

"That won't do. General Zhenbei has made great contributions to Beiqiu. If he kills the general who fought bravely for Beiqiu for a woman, who will dare to work for Beiqiu in the future? Besides, Concubine Shu is General Nalan's sister. With this status, Your Majesty dare not touch her."

Rumors among the people that King Beiqiu was cowardly were spreading like wildfire.

In the court, all the civil and military officials were quite dissatisfied with this. However, if anyone dared to mention this matter, Xuanyuan Li would definitely punish that official severely.

Since then, Xuanyuan Yuchuan locked himself in the East Palace and refused to come out. It was said that he was put in solitary confinement as punishment by Xuanyuan Li.

"So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become decadent?" Concubine Shu walked around the room holding the little princess, coaxing her gently.

Mammy said, "You must be planning something bad."

Concubine Shu sat down, not feeling very proud, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to stand by my side, there is nothing to be afraid of."
