After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The prince was horrified by the emperor's gaze and he knelt down.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

The more the emperor looked at the prince, the more he felt that the prince did not look like him.

He sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy expression on his face.

He inexplicably recalled what Concubine Lin had said before. Implicitly in her words, she was saying that the prince no longer liked women.

He is now extremely disappointed with his son.

"Hand over all the matters you are responsible for, and I will send someone else to handle them."

"From now on, you stay in the Prince's Mansion and reflect on your mistakes!"

A gloomy look flashed across the prince's face. "I did something wrong. I hope your Majesty will point it out. I will take it as a warning."

The emperor suddenly felt tired, and he waved his hand and asked Eunuch An to take the prince out.

The prince walked out of the Yangxin Palace with a gloomy face.

He clapped his hands and the secret guard appeared and knelt on the ground.

"Reporting to the Crown Prince, today in the court, the censor impeached you for having an affair with Long Yang, and half of the court officials proposed to depose the Crown Prince."

The prince stood in the darkness and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

After a long time, he laughed twice, turned around and left the palace.

The emperor ordered Han Yang and several ministers to take over the affairs currently in the hands of the crown prince.

The Qin family took advantage of the situation and gave a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to Concubine Lin in the palace. Concubine Lin took the initiative to propose not to pursue the matter any further, and the people of the Qin family were finally released from prison.

Just because of this incident, several families that had previously stuck together have separated.

The Qin family's status as an imperial merchant has been taken away by its competitors.

In the past, all the children of the Qin family were proud of doing business, but now, some of them have begun to go to school.

Of course, these are things to follow.

When Mrs. Shen heard that her father and brother had been released from prison, she immediately rushed back.

While in prison, Qin's father thought that the Qin family would not be able to escape this disaster.

Now that I'm out, it feels like a lifetime ago. On the contrary, I see things more clearly.

He knew that they were able to escape only because of the secret help from the King of Qi.

As for the King of Qi, he did all this for Shen Yunjin's sake.

"Send a big gift to Concubine Shen some other day."

Mrs. Shen felt awkward and unwilling.

"What does it have to do with her? If anyone needs to thank someone, my daughter should go and thank the King of Qi."

Father Qin stared at his daughter and said, "The King of Qi should thank you, and Concubine Shen should also thank you."

"If you don't understand, don't drag the Qin family into this!"

"Father, I am also a member of the Qin family." Mrs. Shen felt very aggrieved.

"You have been in the Shen Mansion for so many years. Your son-in-law tolerates you, but that doesn't mean he can tolerate you forever. You should take care of yourself."

"Originally, I should come here in person to express my gratitude for this matter."

"However, current affairs are complicated. Our every move, if seen by someone with ulterior motives, will only bring trouble to the King of Qi."

"I don't care how you treated your concubine in the past, but now she is the concubine of the King of Qi. For this reason, you should have a good relationship with her."

"If you dare to go against my will, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter!"

Mrs. Shen agreed reluctantly.

A few days later, Madam Shen went to Prince Qi's mansion alone.

Shen Yunjin looked at the things Mrs. Shen brought, which filled the entire table.

She remained calm, "What does this mean, mother?"

Mrs. Shen really couldn't force a smile towards Shen Yunjin.

"This is a gift for your unborn child," she said stiffly.

Shen Yunjin had learned from Xiao Minshen a few days ago that the Qin family's affairs had been resolved.

Mrs. Shen should come and thank her today.

However, no matter how you look at Mrs. Shen’s face, she doesn’t look like she’s here to express gratitude.

That stern face makes him look more like someone collecting a debt.

"The child is still young and cannot deserve such an expensive gift. Mother should take it back."

"Just take it if you give it to me. Why are you talking so much nonsense? You don't act like a mistress at all."

Obviously he wanted to build closer relations, but once the words came out, the harsh tone changed the meaning of the words.

Shen Yunjin picked up the teacup, and Mrs. Shen beside him felt very uncomfortable.

"I'm going back home first. I'll come back after the baby is born."

After saying this, Mrs. Shen left in a hurry as if there was a ghost chasing her.

Shen Yunjin looked at Mrs. Shen's back as she left, thoughtfully.

In the evening, Xiao Minshen also saw what Mrs. Shen brought.

"The Qin family asked your mother to send several thousand taels of silver to me."

"So your Highness means that I should keep these things?"

Xiao Minshen took a look.

In one plate, there were the child's gold lock, gold bracelet, and fine cotton cloth. All of them were in duplicate, and I guess even the little tiger's share was included.

The other plate should be for Shen Yunjin.

At the top are various fashionable fabrics.

Underneath was a whole set of gold jewellery, dazzling and eye-catching.

At the bottom is a stack of deeds to shops and houses.

"Keep it, and consider it as your mother's dowry."

Xiao Minshen said indifferently.

Shen Yunjin ordered Jinzhi to take the things to the warehouse.

"Your Majesty, is the Crown Prince going to give up so easily?"

Xiao Minshen shook his head.

Even though Xiao Minxuan was deposed by the emperor, he was able to regain the position of crown prince.

Now, how can I give up so easily?

The prince, who had suffered a loss once, would never allow himself to be driven out of that position so easily.

He must have set up a big plan.

However, he has not yet found out what the current situation is.

However, as the situation is becoming increasingly pressing, Xiao Minshen believes that the prince will definitely take action soon.

Thinking of this, he touched Shen Yunjin's belly.

"How long will it take for this child to come out?"

Shen Yunjin was shocked and she held Xiao Minshen's hand tightly.

"But is there any danger?"

"I am worried that the prince will do something crazy."

"By then, I will be too busy to take care of myself and won't be able to take care of you."

"What if you are alone with a big belly?"

Shen Yunjin felt relieved.

"The doctor said the baby will be born in a month."

"I have Yang Liu and Jin Zhi and the others by my side, so Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Now, Jinzhi and the others are all with Little Tiger, and have learned some boxing and kicking from Eleven. They are enough to protect me."

Xiao Minshen nodded and decided to place a few more guards around Shen Yunjin.

It seems that Mo Yi and his team need to speed up the investigation.

As long as we know the prince's plan, we can deal with it.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, rubbing his brows. He felt more and more tired recently.

"Your Majesty, let me massage you." Eunuch An stepped forward and skillfully began to massage the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you have been very tired recently. How about calling in Doctor Li to take your pulse?"

"Why are you the same as Lao Wu, always asking me to see the imperial physician?"

"I just haven't slept well recently. I just need to take a rest."

Eunuch An looked at the emperor who closed his eyes, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
