The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?"

The concubine moved and wanted to say something, but Xuanyuan Li spoke up, "You are Chuan'er's biological mother."

"so what?"

"I don't believe that everything Chuan'er did has nothing to do with you."

Hu Cuiwei had known Xuanyuan Li for such a long time, so she naturally knew his temper. She suddenly laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, do you really love Concubine Shu or have you never taken the three of us, mother and son, into consideration? Or, in other words, you have never really considered me."

Whether it was the matter of Concubine Shu today or the blood test back then, both caused a big stir and hurt many people.

Xuanyuan Li was silent for a long time, and frowned impatiently, "There is no need to talk about the past. I am talking to you about today's events."

Hu Cuiwei laughed at herself, not even bothering to pretend, "Nalan Jin is a lowly person, but you don't hold her accountable, but instead come to trouble me. Your Majesty, you used to be a wise monarch, but now you are old, have you even lost your brain?"

"How dare you!" Xuanyuan Li shouted angrily. He hadn't slept for the past two days and had a headache. He was even more displeased with Hu Cuiwei. "If Chuan'er hadn't been thinking about finding his birth mother, would you be willing to let me enter the palace again?"

Thinking of her beloved who died tragically, Hu Cuiwei said bitterly: "Chuan'er is just your excuse."

Hu Cuiwei didn't like Xuanyuan Li, even though Xuanyuan Li forced her to give birth to two children. He would destroy anything he couldn't get, including people, and it was even more impossible for him to give it away out of pity.

Shufei was an exception because her adulterer was Qi Shenshen and also because Nalan Qi was a meritorious official of Beiqiu.

Therefore, just because she had no support and could not even raise her child by herself, she gave the child to the queen for adoption under the pretext of giving the child a noble status.

Hehe…love? What is love? Is separating mother and child love?

Xuanyuan Li's face was a little gloomy, but Hu Cuiwei didn't notice. When he spoke again, every word in his voice was permeated with extremely strong murderous intent, "Chuan'er plotted against Concubine Shu, and at the same time, he was also plotting against me. Concubine Chen, I love you and bestowed you with the title "Chen". I announced this to the six palaces so that everyone knows how important you are in my heart, not to let you be arrogant because of your favor."

The words "arrogant due to favor" instantly turned Hu Cuiwei's face extremely cold, and a sneer escaped from her throat: "Your Majesty, I have always been faithful to my duty and have never disobeyed anyone. Even if I don't like the Queen, I still pay my respects to her every day. What is arrogant due to favor? Your Majesty, don't you know?"

Xuanyuan Li: "I dare to ask."

Xuanyuan Li gave an example: "Back then, you were pregnant and faked your death to escape from the palace. If it weren't for my permission, do you think you could have successfully arrived outside the palace and given birth to Luan Fei safely?"

After hearing Xuanyuan Li's gloomy voice, Hu Cuiwei felt extremely heartbroken. "On the contrary, I should thank His Majesty for showing mercy?"

Xuanyuan Li sneered: "Being able to enter the palace is a blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes."

Hu Cuiwei also sneered: "Ah, yes, it is indeed a blessing. My son is the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future. Of course, I am a blessed person."

Hu Cuiwei was too lazy to argue with Xuanyuan Li anymore. Whatever harsh words Xuanyuan Li said afterwards went in one ear and out the other. The dazzling array of dishes on the table slowly cooled down as time passed, just like her heart, which was as cold as ice. The dishes could still be heated up, but her heart could never be warmed up again.

After that, Xuanyuan Li had no intention of staying here to escape the summer heat anymore because of Concubine Shu's affair, so he returned to the palace early.

Concubine Shu was confined to the Yanx Palace, while Qi Shenshen was ordered by Xuanyuan Yuchuan to be detained in the Ministry of Punishment.

"Shu Fei was caught cheating these two days ago, and Xuanyuan Li will return to the palace today. If we don't take any measures, there's no guarantee that the two of them will continue to be at large. Brother, please don't be soft-hearted."

After Hu Luanfei finished speaking, she realized that Xuanyuan Yuchuan had made all the necessary preparations. Her paternity test was useless in Beiqiu, and even though she gave it to Xuanyuan Yuchuan, he could only continue the paternity test according to Beiqiu's ancient method.

"For you, my mother, and Xiao Lanzi, I will never let Qi Shenyuan go."

The little basket was his pain, and every time he mentioned it, he felt suffocated by the pain.

"Princess, Concubine De asks you to go to Yonghe Palace." Nanny Sang took the child as soon as she entered the room. She also said, "When Concubine De lived in Chengqian Palace before, she was quite easy to talk to. Now that she has moved to Yonghe Palace, she may not be happy. Even the maids around her are mocking when they come to pass on messages, as if we in the East Palace have provoked them. This servant feels very uncomfortable."

"Noble Concubine De knows that mother is the Concubine Chen of Chengqian Palace, so naturally she doesn't have a good face towards us. But don't worry, Ma'am, I will take care of it for you." Hu Luanfei comforted her and walked out.

Nanny Sang was worried, "The matter of Concubine Shu will involve General Nalan, and General Nalan has a close relationship with Concubine De. Your Majesty must be careful when you go there this time."

"Don't worry, Ma'am." After kissing the child's little cheek, Hu Luanfei prepared to go to Yonghe Palace.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan stopped her and said, "Tell Concubine De that if you don't intend to help us, then don't interfere."

"I know."

This summer is much hotter than previous years.

On the way to Yonghe Palace, many flowers and grasses were drooping. Hu Luanfei looked into the imperial garden through the octagonal window. The crabapple trees were emitting transparent steam under the scorching sun. Even the cicadas on the branches were too lazy to chirp. All around was quiet.

But Yonghe Palace is very cool.

Concubine De knelt in front of the Bodhisattva statue, fiddling with her bodhi bracelet with her soft hands. Listening carefully, she could hear the sound of "Amitabha".

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhan is here." The maid outside the door spoke, and she subconsciously raised her eyes.

The door was pushed open, and Hu Luanfei walked in leisurely, bowing slightly to her.

"Do we have to report Concubine Shu for having an affair?" She did not turn around to look at Hu Luanfei, but stood up, and with the help of her maid, walked to the chaise longue next to her and sat down.

"Your Majesty, do you intend to let Concubine Shu go?"

"She has no grudge against me, so I will naturally not cause trouble for her."

"Then why did Her Majesty kneel down with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Yangxin Palace to perform the blood test?"

Concubine De was silent for a moment, and said, "I was just soft-hearted for a moment."

Hu Luanfei retorted mercilessly, "Your Majesty, do you know that your momentary weakness will kill many people? The Crown Prince was ignored and punished by His Majesty because of that incident."

"I have also watched Chuan'er grow up. I feel bad when he is punished. But what? Concubine Shu's child is still so young. He should not be involved in the right and wrong of adults. The Bodhisattva will blame him."

Hu Luanfei was disdainful, but did not show his dissatisfaction. He only said: "Your Majesty, please worship Buddha sincerely in the future. You should not get involved in the affairs between Concubine Shu and the Crown Prince."
