The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

When Hu Luanfei woke up, it was already dark. Nanny Sang was holding the child beside her, and both the old and the young stared at her eagerly, as if her face could bloom.

Seeing her wake up, Nanny Sang's eyes immediately turned red. "You are finally awake. Hurry to the Yangxin Palace to check. The Concubine Chen has been taken away by His Majesty's men."

"What happened?" Hu Luanfei just wanted to get up, but he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and fell back onto the bed.

Nanny Sang said, "The Empress Chen made a scene in Yonghe Palace because of you. When Imperial Concubine De stood in front of His Majesty, her tears fell. As soon as she fooled him, His Majesty immediately ordered people to come to Chengqian Palace to arrest her. He also said that our Empress Chen was ignorant and didn't know how to be grateful to Imperial Concubine De for letting her live in Chengqian Palace. She even repaid her kindness with hatred."

Nanny Sang said helplessly, "Just now I heard that His Majesty wants to drive out your property in Beiqiu and take back the Royal Escort Agency you manage. The Empress Chen is very anxious..."

Before the nanny could finish her words, Hu Luanfei covered the back of his neck and forced himself to stand up.

She could choose not to do business in Beiqiu, and she could also give up the so-called Royal Escort Agency, but she could not let A Niang suffer any grievances.

Over the past decade or so, A'niang had an even harder life than her. She had to hide from the Queen Mother, search for her lost daughter, and fight wits and courage with the people sent by Xuanyuan Li. She was lucky to be alive until now.

"Mammy, go and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to be impulsive. I'll take care of everything."

"The Concubine Chen has already given instructions, and His Highness is obedient. He has already headed to General Nalan's residence."

"Well, my mother is indeed a wise woman."

In this harem, perhaps only A Niang dared to treat Concubine De like this. As for the concubines of lower ranks, even if their children were taken away from them, they could only accept their fate and then blame themselves.

When she arrived at the Yangxin Palace, A'niang was arguing with Xuanyuan Li.

Hu Luanfei didn't listen for long. He only knew that his mother had a heavy hemorrhage when she gave birth to Xuanyuan Yuchuan, which left her with many sequelae, and her health has been poor over the years.

The De Guifei, who was suppressed to death, lied without batting an eyelid. Hu Luanfei rolled his eyes rudely.

A'niang was fully prepared and was determined to avenge her previous humiliation. No matter how powerful Concubine De was, or how hard she tried to protect Concubine Shu and her daughter, as long as A'niang mentioned Nalan Qi, Concubine De would instantly become paralyzed.

Xuanyuan Li was furious when he heard this, but his anger was directed at A Niang, "Hu Cuiwei, don't forget your superiors and inferiors just because I love you."

Ah Niang chuckled a few times and asked, "Your Majesty favors me, can you tell us why? If you favor me, why don't you love me? If you favor me, why don't you care about me? If you favor me, why don't you protect me? Others hurt me, abused me, and robbed my children. Your Majesty knows all about it, so why don't you punish those people, but instead blame me?"

Ah Niang's smile suddenly dimmed the world, "Xuanyuan Li, I, Hu Cuiwei, have been looking for you and entering this harem with you. There has not been a single day of peace. Over the past few decades, I have regretted every day, regretting why I appeared in front of you that day."

Ah Niang held back her tears, and smiled more proudly than anyone else. She stood up and said, "Today, I will risk everything."

Xuanyuan Li looked at her and sneered even more, "You don't think that I can't bear to touch you just because I love you so much."

He declared a fact ruthlessly, "The Second Prince is capable of both civil and military skills, and is no worse than the Crown Prince. He will definitely be qualified for the position of King of Beiqiu."

He thought that Ah Niang would be scared, but Ah Niang suddenly laughed, her laugh was like a devil crawling out of hell, "Then why do you think I surrendered to you and went back to the palace? Love? Hate? Or do you think I am so weak that I need your protection and therefore I have no choice but to submit to you?"

Xuanyuan Li listened to the joke as if listening to a joke, "My beloved concubine, if you have the ability, then stir up the storm in Beiqiu."

As the sun sets, the crimson afterglow spreads across the sky, obliterating the last ray of afterglow, and the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the corridor outside light up.

Seeing the two people's eyes sparking and not stopping, Hu Luanfei was about to step into the hall to apologize, but a eunuch figure got there first, ran into the hall in a hurry, and knelt in front of Xuanyuan Li, "It's not good, Your Majesty, the poison in General Nalan's body is spreading, and it's an ominous sign."

Before Xuanyuan Li could speak, Concubine De, who was kneeling beside him, spoke up: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The eunuch panicked and trembled as he replied, "The steward of the General's Mansion has sent someone to the palace to ask for the imperial physician, and has issued an ultimatum."

"What?" Imperial Concubine De seemed unable to accept the fact and squatted on the ground, feeling uneasy. This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Xuanyuan Li and A Niang.

Ah Niang smiled sarcastically, "In such a large harem, there are not many princes and princesses who can grow up safely. Your Majesty, do you want to see Chuan'er and Qing'er kill each other again?"

"You are presumptuous!"

A Niang was suddenly slapped in the face, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Hall of Mental Cultivation knelt down.

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.

Hu Luanfei was naturally afraid of the imperial power. In this era, the imperial power was above everything else. As long as Xuanyuan Li opened his mouth, everyone in the hall would have almost no chance of survival.

"Send the imperial physician to see him immediately, and ask the second prince to go along as well." Xuanyuan Li said, and the eunuch ran out tumbling and crawling.

Concubine De couldn't kneel any longer. She wanted to go to Nalan Mansion, but the situation was so sudden that she couldn't find a suitable reason...

Ah Niang stroked her face and said quietly, "Sister, go too. Although Qing'er is a doctor, he will inevitably be in a mess when all the imperial doctors are helpless."

Concubine De stared at A Niang in surprise, perhaps wondering why A Niang would still help her.

Ah Niang just said, "Qing'er and Chuan'er have a good relationship. As a stepmother, there is no reason for me not to be worried."

Finally, Concubine De requested to go to Nalan Mansion. After Xuanyuan Li approved it, A Niang chuckled, "Your Majesty, look, it doesn't matter if you have three thousand beauties. Which woman is sincere to you?"

Concubine De walked to the door and bumped into Hu Luanfei. Perhaps she was surprised by A Niang's words, or perhaps she was frightened by her, Concubine De was stunned and lowered her head in a daze.

Hu Luanfei thought that maybe she felt that she was in the palace but her heart was elsewhere, and her thoughts were exposed, and she felt guilty towards her man, so she lowered her noble head in shame.

"When did you know that?" Xuanyuan Li said weakly, as if his energy had been drained away, and suddenly he was no longer as high-spirited as before.

A Niang was silent for a long while before she slowly said, "Not long after I entered the palace, I learned that Concubine De had an affair with General Nalan. At the same time, I also discovered the relationship between Concubine Shu and General Zhenbei."

"So, you are going to betray me too?"

Ah Niang raised her eyes and glared at him, "If they can, why can't I?"

Xuanyuan Li wanted to hit A Niang again, but this time, he was powerless.

The raised palm landed lightly on A Niang's face, as if he couldn't bear to hurt her. He said to himself, "I treat you differently from them."
